The woman walked down the eerie, dark corridors of Talon's main compound – the red illuminations placed around it brightened her dark purple accents. Her sharp fingers twirled around her hair as the woman's eyes traced her surroundings – ensuring that she will remember her environment, if it was absolutely necessary. After all, there were plenty of kids like her after the war – but none could act or think like her.
"Heesh, I haven't even been here for three days and Talon already treats me like some sort of errand girl. I wonder what they want me to do now, secure the United States' nuclear launch codes? Sabotage China's essential nuclear plants? I'm sure the list would go on." The woman murmured to no one in particular as she strolled further down the dark corridors. She approached an office with heavy oak doors, guarded by two Talon soldiers in black breastplates.
"Stop." One of the soldiers said as he extended an arm.
"Let her in, she's the one the Captain wants." The other retorted.
"Nice to know that I'm welcome here." Sombra smirked as she brushed past the two guards and opened the doors. She was greeted by a Talon senior officer sitting over a table, his hand occupied with a pen, pressing onto a piece of paper – his grizzled face looked up from the table and furrowed a brow.
"So…you're the famous hacker my superiors dropped to me?" The Captain said as he continued his activity.
"In the flesh." The woman replied as she gestured with a bow.
"Known for world wide hacking sprees and past Los Muertos affiliations…interesting background young lady."
"Listen, can we just get straight to the point? I've already completed four assignments in less than two days…and it's really beginning to be a pain in the culo."
"Right…they warned me about your tendency to go 'off the charts'." A brief pause stood between the two before the Captain opened his mouth again.
"Due to your past Los Muertos involvement, Talon has saw fit to post you to Dorado. I'm sure you've heard of LumériCo and their CEO?"
"Oh…I know him." Sombra said with a curl.
"Talon's interests lies in the complete destruction of Portero's reputation, he's been suspicious from the start – but maybe a tiny push can break him. Do what you can, use your influence in that little gang of yours. But do not forget your primary objective, any questions?"
Sombra shook her head and turned her back towards the officer, "Piece of cake, I hope there's something worthy for me when I'm done with your little job." And with that, the form of the woman disappeared, leaving traces of purple and pink particles in her wake – leaving the Captain awed.
Sombra reappeared outside the compound, the fresh night air swinging by her face.
"Good thing I left this thing here, walking back out those long corridors would've been torture." Sombra sighed as she picked up her translocator and smirked.
"Interesting toy…" A graveled voice emerged; the woman quickly turned her head – caught off guard by a dark figure. The man was leaning on the wall and had his arms folded, his head slowly turned to face her.
"What are you talking about?" Sombra said.
The man slowly walked towards the hacker, stopping as he was close enough.
"That design…it belongs to someone else doesn't it?"
Sombra turned her head and smiled, "I know you…you're one of Talon's infamous mercenaries, Reaper was it?"
The wraith growled as he balled his fists, "Answer my question…or else."
"First answer me this." The woman said with a sly tone, "Why would an unknown mercenary take sudden interest towards a piece of technology in which a common person would not be intrigued towards at all? And judging by your tone, you seem to know this piece of technology."
Reaper stepped a few paces back, surprised from the perceptive senses of the woman infront of him.
"Gathering on this information, you must be either extremely curious…or someone else."
"Hmph. I can see why Talon insisted someone like you would join their ranks. I never expected that a global hacking crisis would originate from someone as immature and arrogant as you."
"Well this was certainly a pleasant first meeting. I've always wanted to meet the infamous Angel of Death."
"I hope you're satisfied…" Reaper's voice said with a scratch.
"Well if it would sate your curiosity. I found a stray piece of technology and merely made modifications towards it, nothing more – nothing less."
"I'm sure you did…" Reaper said as he folded his arms, not amused from the hacker's comments.
"Believe what you want, I'm in no mood to argue. I have an important assignment that I have to tend to, a hovership should be waiting at the landing pads to take me to Dorado."
"Now hold o-" The specter stopped as his earpiece rang through his ear. He placed two clawed fingers over his ear and spoke, "Numbani? Doomfist's gauntlet? Fine Widowmaker, I'll be there at 0600." He retracted his fingers and turned his attention back towards the hacker.
"We'll meet again…" The wraith said as his body was slowly enveloped by a swirl of black mist, the hacker watched as the smoke travelled its way out from the compound.
"Then lets hope we meet on a more positive note." Sombra muttered to herself with a smile. The hacker moved down the stairs of the main compound and made her way towards the landing pad.
