Chapter 1
One time at the Talon base, Casandra Reyes, the daughter of Reaper and Widowmaker, woke up from her dark slumber. As she arose from her bed, it became apparent that she looked like any other Overwatch hero. She had beautiful icy azure skin like her mother, a pitch back trench coat like her father, robot eyes that looked like sunglasses with glowing red dots where here pupils would be, and slick short hair. She looked like Trinity from the matrix, but she had even cooler powers and weapons. She picked up her sniper rifle from the side of the bed, which she nicknamed Umbra. Sometimes she could make Umbra shoot ammo that caused her opponents to drain health as if she was a vampire sucking the lifeforce from her helpless victims. She strapped Umbra to her back and then grabbed her grenades. Her grenades released clouds that made her less visible, so she liked to use them whenever she was around people he didn't like.
"Cassy what are you doing?" Reaper asked as he walked into her bedroom, which had posters from all her favorite movies and bands, as well as a flatscreen TV which was currently streaming the newest episode of her favorite tv show.
"I want to fight my first match today." Casandra explained with enthusiasm.
"But you are only 14, I don't want you to get hurt, honey." Reaper said, patting her on the back for her effort.
"But how will I ever become a hero like you if I don't fight?" Casandra cried.
"When I was your age, I first joined Overwatch. It was really fun, but one time I died and became the ghost I am now." Reaper explained. "You are too young to become a ghost, it would break my heart to see it happen to you."
"But Mercy told me that heroes never die." Casandra explained.
"Zat's true, sometimes you won't die, but you might die on ze inside." Widowmaker said as she entered the room. "Before I met your dad, I felt nothing except for when I kill people. You two give me the emotion of love, and I'd hate to not be able to feel love anymore all because you want to go out zere and kill people too,"
"But you have to give me a chance!" Casandra said in a persuasive tone. "Pharah's mom lets her fight!"
"Pharah's mom is irresponsible and bad at parenting." Reaper said.
"Yes, along with zat, Pharah's mom doesn't do things like make breakfast or clean ze house, she just shoots Pharah to make her feel better." Widowmaker angrily explained. "Ze first rule of being a mom is never shoot your child."
"Speaking of breakfast, have you made it yet mom?" Casandra asked, hungry.
"Yes, zere is french toast on ze counter." Widowmaker said. "Dad and I have a match we have to go fight in, so you should go eat. We'll be gone until about 5, will you be okay on your own?"
"Yeah." Then Casandra went to go eat her breakfast. She was secretly very angry on the inside, fuming in fact. Just the thought of Pharah made her bitter and jealous as she angrily but silently ate her French toast. But then Casandra got an idea, she would sneak into the match and prove herself to her parents that she was better than Pharah in every way and was capable of being a true Overwatch hero. She didn't even wait to finished her toast as it dangled from her grinning mouth as she ran out of the base. She used her other ability to turn on stealth mode and climb into the blue team's plane. As she listened in to the conversations everyone on the plane was having, her heart started to beat faster out of pure excitement. Genji was there, and she had a big crush on him. He was so cute, his accent and sleak figure. Even though she couldn't see his face, she could tell his smile was cute. Not just cute, but kawaii.
"Where are we going today?" Genji asked.
"Today we are going to the temple of Anubis because red team is trying to take our point again." Zenyatta replied.
"Didn't they already do that?" Genji was confused. To a weary soldier, all the battles seem to blend together into one big fight.
"Yeah but they keep coming back because Pharah and Ana's house is there and they want it back." Reaper explained with a sound of hate on his voice. Even though she was invisible and no one could see it, Casandra grimaced at the very thought of the two Egyptians.
"They should just sell some of their spare rockets so that they can buy a new house." Reinhardt laughed as he ate a currywurst, his favorite food. "90% of the time she misses her shots, so what's the point in having so many rockets?"
"In an ideal world, there would be no rockets." Said Mercy peacefully. Then the two of them started talking in German at each other, which made Casandra jealous that she only new English and French. German was common in her favorite musical genre of industrial music, so she wished she knew german so that she would know what the singers are saying.
Suddenly the plane landed and they all got out and set up shop in the temple. Casandra snuck out as they were all setting up their turrets and things and snuck out to the area where the red team's plane was. She looked through her scope to try and see if she could get an early shot at Pharah, but the plane's doors were still closed. "Dammit." She thought.
"I don't recall ever seein you round these parts" A voice said from behind her. Casandra jumped up, accidentally uncloaking to see McCree.
"Go away McCreep." She grumbled.
"Say, aren't you Reaper's kid? Didn't know he let you fight." McCree grinned as he pulled out a cigar and began to smoke. Actually, knowing McCree, it was probably a joint.
"No I am not Reaper's kid." Casandra replied.
"What do they call you then, not Reaper's kid?"
Casandra had to think long and hard on this. She knew that all Overwatch heroes had fancy names, and the ones who didn't were lame like McCree, Winston, and Torbjorn. She needed a name that sounded cool but also would strike fear into the hearts of her enemies. Something that wasn't too cheesy but also something that was perfectly effective for representing her unique skillsets and abilities.
"The name's Nocturne." She said. From this point onwards, Casandra called herself Nocturne, which is French for Nocturnal, like the vampire she is.
Suddenly the match started and all hell broke loose. It turns out that Bastion and Mei had joined the red team like the pricks they are. Bullets flew past Nocturne's face and she quickly ducked behind cover. Her cloak was still recharging, so it looked like she'd have to hide there for a while. McCree had gone off to go shoot people, so it looked as though she was all alone and had no one to chat with. Finally, her cloak finished recharging, so she snuck out of the room she was in to get a better look at the battlefield. It was hard to see through all the people running around what exactly was going on, and Pharah was nowhere in sight, so it seemed as though for now, Nocturne was unable to get revenge. She hid behind a corner and then began to shoot her rifle at Winston, who was eating a banana as gorillas usually do and not paying attention. Winston tried to look at who was shooting him but couldn't because she was cloaked, so then he just ran away.
Eventually the rest of her teammates took out the enemies before she could reload her gun and Nocturne was sad. She looked around at her teammates, Reinhardt and Mercy were still talking german at each other, her parents were making out, McCree was still smoking, but Genji was all alone probably pondering existence. She felt bad for him because he never asked to be a robot and was sad. But she knew that once she proved herself, she would like him and finally have a battlefield companion.
The air was silent and smelled a bit like rain and it was almost overcast with clouds. Because of this, the sand was moist and gross and she hated it. Nocturne could never imagine wanting to live in a desert. But suddenly it did actually rain. Not normal rain, but justice rain. Pharah flew out of nowhere and used her ultimate, killing like everyone.
"GOD DAMMIT!" Nocturne screamed. Before her parents could respawn, they noticed her and got angry, but then couldn't punish her because they respawned on the opposite end of Egypt. Nocturne then hid behind a wall again and was scared because the rest of the red team was now on the control point and she didn't know what to do.
Suddenly her ultimate was charged. She never used her ultimate before, but now was her chance for redemption in the eyes of her parents. Like the creature of the night she was, she chucked the smoke grenade onto the point and lurked out onto the smokey control point. Then Nocturne activated her ultimate, a move called Vampiric Retribution and screamed put her battle cry, "FEAR THE NIGHT!"
She then began sucking the life out of everyone within her radius, which was the whole enemy team, and attacked them with vampire claws. Before she knew it, the enemy team was dead…. Except for Pharah.
"So you finally left your room? What, did you run out of internet bandwidth and have nothing else to do?" Pharah smirked, pointing her rocket gun at Nocturne. Nocturne took hold of her gun Umbra and took aim.
"Shut up!" Nocturne growled. "You couldn't think of a better insult if you tried!" The two of them then shot their guns, but unfortunately, Nocturne had forgotten to reload and had no ammo currently. Pharah's missile missed like they always do, but it was still close enough to push Nocturne to the ground and do some damage, also causing Nocturne to accidentally let go of Umbra. One more shot and Nocturne would most likely be dead. She began to pray as Pharah set up to shoot another barrage of missles just for overkill.
"You made a deadly mistake, little brat." Pharah laughed with a grin. She then lept into the air. "JUSTICE RAINS FROM-"
"IT'S HIGH NOOOOON!" McCree yelled, eyes red and shooting at Pharah out of the sky. Nocturne couldn't help but smile graciously as she saw the tangled hunk of metal that was Pharah's suit fall to the ground and fade away as she respawned.
As McCree approached her, Nocturne gained her composure and picked up Umbra from the ground. "Thank you so much!" she cried.
"No, thank you Nocturne." McCree smiled, "You got play of the game!" The rest of her team came over to the point and congratulated her. They all gave her high fives and Reinhardt gave her his last currywurst.
"Cassy, never do anything like that again!" Reaper growled.
"It's fine, darling," Widowmaker said, "She is a good soldier and a good new edition to our team!"
Suddenly Genji walked up to her and gave her a cherry blossom. She could tell he was blushing underneath his helmet. "I am grad you courd join us." He smiled. She felt happy like a hobo who finally won the lottery, like a rich guy who had just become the president, or like . Finally Nocturne was a true Overwatch hero, worthy of being called a team member.
