David stood before a large layout of display cases. He had on his usual atire. A black leather jacket, blue jeans, and black boots. He was visiting the Overwatch museum, which he decided to go to seeing as he had nothing else to do. But Something was very wrong with him. He seemed to be in a bit pissed, but he was trying his best to hide it. He had taken notice of some kids talking about one of the exhibits, one of them seemed a bit cynical. One of the kids looked rather young compared to the other one. David returned his attention to the exhibit in front of him, and he sighed.
The ground shook for a brief moment, and David glanced around. Could it be an earthquake? He thought. Then a second shock wave shook the building.
"What the?" David mumbled. Then came a crash from the glass roof of the building. A large armoured gorilla and a blue woman fell through and came crashing to the ground. The blue woman shot a grapple line out and zipped up to a ledge. She pulled a rifle from her back and started firing at the gorilla. The gorilla noticed the two boys standing there, and he leapt in front of them, shielding them from fire.
He spoke something to the kids and then he got shot twice more. He spoke yet another line and scooted the children along, giving them the chance to run for cover. The gorilla charged the woman, but he was stopped by a character that David knew too well.
"Reaper." David mumbled. His eyes glowed orange and made a sizzling sound. Reaper started blast the gorilla with his shotguns, completely unaware of the man about a hundred feet behind him. Suddenly, another girl showed up and taunted the blue man group looking lady. David pulled out a chain from a pocket on the inside of his jacket and sharply whistled. Now, all eyes were on him.
"You remember me, Reaper?" David snarled. Reaper just looked at Widowmaker and shrugged. David's face twitched a bit. "Oh, where are my manners. Of course you won't recognise me like this. Allow me to change into something you might be familiar with." David's head twitched to the right, and he winced as something started to happen to him. His skin slowly started fade into a black skeleton, starting from the upper left portion of his face and traveling down and to the right. After a few centimeters of his skin where gone, a bright orange flame began to flow from the skull's surface. The sky suddenly became dark with thick, grey clouds overhead. Eventually, all of David's skin was gone, and fire was coming forth from every part of his skull, save for the face. The thing David had become roared at Reaper. Reaper put a finger to his ear.
"Backup team, you are clear to move in." He spoke. A small team of soldiers descended from the glass hole in the roof and pointed their guns toward the beast before them. One of them started dumping the clip from their automatic rifle, pissing him off. With a quick snap, the chain David was hold slashed through the man's body and cut him in half. Yet another one started shooting at him, to which the monster lightly snapped the chain off the ground, and around the man's ankle. The thing pulled on the chain, yanking the man's leg out from under him and putting him on his back.
He pulled the man toward him and hoisted him into the air by the collar of his uniform. The man gazed into his eyes, and the monsters jaw gradually went slack. It made a strange sound, like a man sucking air in through his mouth, and the two stared into each other's eyes. The flames around the monster's skull grew in size, and swirled more violently. The man started shouting as his outer extremities started burning. Then, the skeleton's black leather hand grabbed the man's face and shoved him backward, letting the man fall to ashes. Yet another man foolishly threw a flash grenade at the beast's feet.
The grenade went off, and the thing's angry eye sockets snapped to the man who threw it. The monster lunged at him, knocking him to the ground and landing on top of him. The skeleton opened his mouth and vomited a torrent of fire onto the man's face, burning him to a crisp. The monstrosity stood up, picked up the body and threw it at Reaper. It crumpled in the air, and coated him in the ashes of his former underling. This ticked Reaper off quite a bit, so he pulled out his shotguns and started shooting at the beast.
It barely flinched as each series of pellets hit him. It picked up a rifle from the ground and pointed it at Reaper. The gun temporarily erupted into flames, before extinguishing and glowing red hot. Reaper turned into a plume as the monster pulled the trigger, unleashing a barrage of red hot bullets. The thing huffed out a bit of black smoke when it realised that it would not be able to do this with a gun. Instead, he dropped the gun, and pulled a fire extinguisher of the wall. This too burst into flames, and the monster roared. The tool that had once been used to put fires out was now being used as a flamethrower.
The cloud that was Reaper rapidly darted around, trying to dodge the stream of fire. The beast started chuckling as it watched him run from the fireball. Widowmaker pointed her rifle at it, and shot it in the back of the head. The bullet pancaked against the skull and fell to the floor. The monster snapped its gaze to her, and pointed the makeshift flamethrower in her direction. She leapt into the air and zipped away with her grappling hook as the beast blasted her perch with fire.
Satisfied that she was now on the run, it returned its attentions to Reaper. Widowmaker was grappling up to the hole in the roof, and Reaper zipped up to meet her half way up. The beast tailed them with fire until they were no longer in the building. It dropped the fire extinguisher, and held its clenched fists straight out to it's sides. It gazed straight up at the dark clouds in the sky, and shouted an ungodly roar at the heavens. It lowered its arms, and started walking. After about ten feet of walking, a flaming suzuki sv650 (likely an 04 model) pulled up in front of him. It mounted the bike and peeled off toward the exit. Lena pointed in the burning man's general direction and stared at winston.
"Should we follow him, or no?" She asked. Winston cleared his throat.
"Yes, we should. But let's do so from a safe distance." He said. Lena gave a thumbs up.
"Good call." She turned and waved to the two young boys. "Bye you two! Be safe!" She shouted. Then, she zipped off behind winston, as they both tried to avoid the trail of fire left by the man's motorcycle.
~~~oOo~~~
David sat up in his bed, blinking as his eyes adjusted to the light. After the incident with Reaper and Widowmaker, he'd decided to go home and take a nap. When he wasn't "working" as he called it, he was sitting around being a lazy fuck. He stood up and stretched out his back, groaning as he worked all the kinks out from sleeping. David lived in a small hangar like building with two large doors in the front, and his bed and sink in the back, with a bathroom and shower in the back corner. Someone knocked on the large metal doors and David sluggishly walked over to the doors.
"I'm coming!" He said. He pulled the handles on both doors, opening them enough to fit his head and chest through. "Hello?" He said. He was greeted by the two strange individuals from the museum.
"Fuck." David said.
"Uh, thats one hell of a greeting." Lena said.
"Shit, was that out loud." He said in a dry frame of voice.
"Yes." Winston said. David sighed and hung his head for a second. He then pulled the doors back sharply, swinging them open completely.
"Come on in. I assume you have some questions." He said. He brushed down his grey T-shirt to try and make it a little less wrinkled and sat on his bed.
"Well this is a rather old looking motorcycle, isn't it?" Lena said dusting the tank with one finger. Despite it's age, there wasn't a spot of rust anywhere to be seen on it's black paint job.
"Yep, that's the reason I bought her." He said. Lena smirked.
"Her~? Well does she have a name?" Lena sang. David sighed.
"Yes, her name is suzan, now can you please stop touching my bike?" David said in a rather stale tone. Lena smiled and put her hands up in fake surrender. "Great, now what do you guys want to ask?"
"Are you a demon?" Lena spouted.
"Lena!" Winston chided.
"Yeah." David said.
"You can't just- wait, what?" Winston said.
"Wasn't born that way though. I was reborn as a demon after a certain incident I had. I'm what's called a spirit of vengeance." David said.
"Ooo~! You hear that winston? A spirit of vengeance. Sounds scary!" Lena said.
"You would see how well that name fits if you were on the receiving end of one of it's attacks." David said, pitching the bridge of his nose to get the sleep away from his eyes.
"You said you were reborn after an incident. What was it?" Winston asked.
"Rather not talk about it." David replied in his usual dry tone.
"Why not?" Lena asked.
"You could say it was rather traumatic considering that it turned me into a fucking demon." The sudden shift in tone halfway through his sentence made Lena jump. She didn't dare press further. "But other than that, is there anything else you would like to ask?"
"What happens when you pee in that form?" Lena asked. Winston rolled his eyes.
"Flamethrower. That's what." David said.
"You got any other supernatural abilities?" She asked.
"My bike can defy the laws of gravity by sticking to and driving on vertical surfaces. I can heal from extreme injuries, even ones that would kill a normal person. I can suck out and consume someone's soul by looking into their eyes. I can do the same just by burning them or whipping them with a chain, and I can turn any vehicle I touch into a flaming machine of death." David said, his casual tone coming across as if saying that was the most natural thing in the world.
"Anything else?" He asked. He ran his hand through his hair.
"Would you be willing to come with us to help Overwatch?" Winston asked. David squinted at him.
"Fucking what? I'm sorry, but you watched me kill multiple people as a raging demon, and you decide to ask that?" David said.
"We need new recruits, and your apparent hatred of Reaper might be useful to us." Winston stated. David shrugged.
"That makes some sense." He said.
"And it's getting kinda boring just being around him all the time." Lena said. She looked at Winston. "No offense, love, but you're busy a lot with your machines."
"Alright, I'll go." David said.
"What? I wasn't expecting you to come so easily." Winston asked.
"Was it my offer that persuaded you?" Lena asked. David raised his hand.
"I'm doing this because I figured it would be good for me to be around people other than myself. Lord knows I need something to get me up off my ass from time to time." David said. Winston nodded.
"Alright then. I guess we'll just wait for you to pack." Winston said.
"Pffffft! Thats easy. All my clothes are basically in a book bag." David said. Winston's face scrunched up.
"Why?" Winston asked.
"Never got around to buying a dresser." David said. He stood up and popped his neck. "Alright, I'm gonna go to the bathroom before we leave. Gotta drain the hose." Lena scoffed.
"Was that information really necessary?!" She said.
"What? I'm literally going to drain a hose. I have a hose as my shower head. Gotta make sure that's drained so it doesn't rot out and cause water damage." David said walking toward the bathroom. Lena blushed.
"Oh, I thought you meant you were taking a wee." She said. David stopped and turned to look at her.
"You nasty mothafucker." He said.
