The heat was bearing down on the four person team as Junkrat was starting to get a bit twitchy. Well, twitchier than usual.
"I'm tellin' you guys, somethin' ain't right here!" He complained, his eyes shooting all over the place as he swore that he was seeing shadows moving around them. His grenade launcher was primed and ready to go at the first sign of trouble, though his hand was a little shaky from the growing tension.
"Calm down, there is nobody here but us. Morri- 76 and I have been watching this place since we got the Overwatch team back together." Mercy didn't turn to face the worrying man, though she could already feel his twitch getting on her nerves. "Nobody alive knows about this place..." She muttered to herself as they continued on their way, passing through a small town square.
The place was deserted in every sense of the word, with omnics and bones scattered through the streets and decaying buildings. Junkrat smacked his face a few times to calm himself down, shaking his head to get over himself. While he didn't totally trust the doctor, her seeming confidence helped slightly.
"All I'm sayin' is that we need ta hurry up. I hate waiting as is..." His voice trailed off slightly as they made their way through a large arch like structure, the temple straight ahead of them now.
"Just chill out..." was the only response he got, Mei's voice still cold though the line had a sort of joke feeling to it. Junkrat smirked to himself and chuckled softly as he hadn't expected the girl to have jokes. Though of course, they had to be ice related.
The moment of calm was quickly shattered as Junkrat felt that unnerving feeling of being watched once more, though this time there was something much more serious to it. His eyes began to scan the area before he caught a glint of something shining at the top of a pillar.
"DOWN!" Mei yelled as a massive wall of ice was suddenly erected in front of their group, the sound of cracking lightning filling their ears just as the ice saved their lives.
Stunned, Junkrat was wide eyed and breathing heavily, realizing just how close he had just come to biting it. He heard muffled yells as he blinked a few times, looking over at the others with that blank face. Suddenly he came back to reality, thanks to a rather blunt smack from Roadhog.
"WE GOTTA MOVE NOW DAMMIT!" He bellowed, the usually stoic man grabbing his friend by the large tire on his back and nearly dragging him towards the others behind a nearby wall of stone bricks. The ice wall had finally cracked and disappeared, leaving the team to their own wiles as Mei recharged.
Mercy looked over Junkrat quickly to make sure he hadn't been hit, smacking him a few times along his jaw softly to make sure he was with them now. "Listen to me, you were right it seems. But I need you to buck up, because we aren't leaving just yet!" She looked at Mei, "How long until your wall is ready again?" Mei looked at her gun, the timer slowly ticking away. "About 8 to 10 seconds, give or take..."
Mercy nodded and looked to Roadhog, "You sure you can't hook our friend out there?" The man was doing his best to stay hidden given his size, though he had taken a few bullets in his time already. He shook his head at her, the sniper too far for even his strongest throw to reach. Another shot rung out, a large cloud of dust and soot covering their heads and making sure they didn't forget who was still watching.
Mercy sighed to herself slightly, rubbing her face with the back of her hand. "Alright, I have a plan. We need to get over there.." She pointed to an open entrance, which seemed to be a way around without giving the sniper much chance of getting them. "Now, how we do that... is up to you all." She looked at Mei as she continued, "You will build the wall and take Junkrat with you to cross. Hog and I will follow, with me coming last since I can activate my wings here and get over the quickest. Got it?" Mei nodded, readying her gun.
Junkrat was still breathing heavily, though it was more out of anger now. He had almost been killed thanks to that gutless sniper. It had been too long since he had blown someone up, and his blood had began to pump from the thought of such a thing. He cackled to himself a bit as Mercy explained her plan, not listening very well to it. "I can't stand the thought that there's someone out there who hasn't been blown up!" He suddenly broke from the wall with a concussion mine ready, throwing the thing like a discus towards the spot. A trigger flew into his hand, his thumb on the button and ready to blow that sniper to kingdom come.
His grin grew wide as the mine came closer and closer, before exploding with a rather large and loud boom. There was only one problem with that. Junkrat hadn't pressed the button.
"Ah bloody hell..."
