Trouble Comes to Overwatch
Chapter 4
You wanna know the best part about police cruisers; the sirens. Just turn them on and cars move out the way. Me using this car to speed down the street is proof of that. But what makes the cruiser even better is the tinted windows. Maybe Indian police like secrecy but I'm not complaining it's the reason I'm not on a high-speed chase. I keep getting reports from the radio about rescue teams arriving at the train station to see if there are any survivors.
"If I had left them alive then they would be wishing they weren't." I said keeping my eyes on the road
"You are a true angel of mercy onii-chan." C.A.T said in her usual cheery tone
"Seeing as how I put them into a position to need mercy I don't think that would be the right term."
"Right, onii-chan."
One of these days I'm going to have to change her voice settings to something that doesn't make me feel like a pedophile. After a while on the highway I finally made it uptown. It really surprised me to see how different it was from the dirty and gritty buildings I've been seeing. It must be the Vishkar Corporation they must have renovated the entire area. As I was driving began looking for Vishkar HQ and as if on que I found it. It was a large high-rise with the company logo on it. The logo was a "v" with a diamond in the middle.
I raised an eyebrow "Really? Putting your logo on such a big building is kind of cliché but whatever they do them, I do me. Now time to get some awesome new tech."
With that I put the car in full gear and sped off to the high-rise.

Vishkar HQ
In the head office of the Vishkar HQ Symmetra sat at her desk shuffling through papers. After her last mission, she thought desk duty would be best for a while. The incident with Calado still plagued her mind but she reassured herself that I was all for the greater good. But what of all the people in the slums? Was there suffering really for the greater good?
Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted when a news report came on her holo-tv. It stated the event at the downtown train-station. The report detailed the events of a young boy with brown skin and black slightly-spiky hair laying waste to entire police force with surprising brutality.
Symmetra was surprised to see the ferocity coming from what appeared to be a teenager. The thing that was the most unsettling was the smile on his face. As if the slaughter of the police officers was some kind of game. She felt nervous but she calmed down by realizing that the incident happened downtown nowhere near HQ. At the moment, she had nothing to worry about.
(First Person POV)
I parked the police a couple blocks away so that when the police showed up again they would be looking in that general area. The walk to the Vishkar was pleasant enough it was a much-needed improvement from downtown. The sidewalks were less packed, the air was cleaner, and most of all the building were a lot cleaner and well made.
The entire thing made me question what was going on. If Vishkar was supposed to make housing, then why didn't they make some for the people downtown? Did the people uptown pay more? I seriously hate the rich getting everything they could ever want, while those at the bottom get no help.
I thought about to the Aida girl from before. Despite my attitude towards her I did sympathize with her situation and feel some remorse for taking her food but I need to eat too. You try being superhuman you're gonna realize that you need a lot of food to keep going.
"Onii-chan we're coming up on the HQ."
I look up to see the high-rise in front of me. I decided to go around to the back where the trash shoot and ventilation system were. Now time for my points of entry, I could sneak in through the ventilation shaft and navigate through there. My second option is to be really stupid and run up the building until I find a floor that looks important.
"What are you gonna do onii-chan?" C.A.T inquired
"Well I have two options C.A.T; silent and smart or loud and stupid. Instead of following my natural instinct and just going in there and driving through everyone in like Michael Jorden I'll try playing stealthy."
I waked over to the ventilation shaft. I cracked my knuckles and put my hands on one of the sheets of the metal of the shaft. I began to grip the metal, making it bend before pulling it off and tossing it aside.
"Time to release my inner Solid Snake." I said as I started going up the shaft.
(Third-Person POV)
Tracer and Winston had just arrived in South India courtesy of the Overwatch Black-Bird jet which had been cloaked on a nearby runways using stealth tech. The dynamic duo used the rooftop to avoid the crowded streets below until they arrived at the train station. The scene of the pyrokinetic. It had already been tapped off by the police but most of the ashes of the officers had yet to be collected. They landed in the alley to examine it for themselves.
"So, this is where it happened," Tracer stated while staring at the scene "What did these guys do to deserve this? They were just doing their job and that kid did this to them."
"I don't know but we're here to figure it out," Winston claimed "Athena run a scan on all of the deceased."
"You got it," Said the AI "Hmm strange."
"What is it Athena?" Lena inquired
"I can't exactly determine what caused the burns and death of the subjects. On video the main cause appeared to be fire but comparing it to the intensity of these burns here seems illogical. Even taking the explosions into account that wouldn't be enough to turn them to ash like this."
"What could do this?" Winston asked
"The closest thing would have to be…radiation." Athena answered
The two Overwatch agents were startled by the sound of metal hitting the ground. They turned to see a trash can toppled over with a girl standing behind it. Startled and with her cover blown the girl ran.
"Wait hold on!" Tracer yelled running after the girl leaving Winston alone
The girl ran as fast as she was able through the alley but was interrupted when she ran into Tracer's stomach. The girl looked up at her in shock.
"No need to run we're not gonna hurt you." Tracer said reassuringly
The girl looked away nervously.
Tracer just smiled "What your name?"
The girl shook nervously "Aida."
"Nice to meet you. Where're ya parents love?"
"Mom and Dad…died in the war."
"Oh, I'm sorry I…I didn't know."
"It's okay but I came here to see if the Ifrit from before was still there."
"The Ifrit?"
"An Ifrit is a djinn known for their control of fire and cunning." Athena chimed over coms
"Wait you were there at the scene?"
Aida's face became struck with fear and tried to run past Tracer only to grabbed by her collar. Aida flailed to get out of the hold to no avail.
Tracer pulled the Aida back in front of her "Look it's okay just tell me what happened."
"I-I-I-I can't he'll do to me what he did to that Black Cobra member if I tell!" Aida exclaimed full of fear
"Calm down love. It'll be alright even if this "Ifrit" does come I'll protect you."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because if you tell me what you know me and my friend can hunt him down and make sure he won't."
"Really?"
"Really."
Aida was hesitant but she felt she could trust this woman, "Well I was starving and my orphanage had so little to begin with. There was neighborhood gang called the Black Cobras that extort food and money from everyone. I found their hangout and stole as much food as I can. But one of them saw me and they came after me."
"What happened next?"
"Well I thought to lose them in the alleyways since I know them really well and nobody goes through them at night. I managed to lose them and while I was almost home free I ran into this guy."
Lena eyes went wide "Did this guy have brown skin and black hair?"
"Yeah his hair was lightly spikey too along with silver eyes. When I ran to him I dropped the food I stole giving the Black Cobras time to catch up with me. But the man started making fun of them and nagging them on. He told me to hide so I did. He took down two of them with ease and they ran off. But the last guy had a gun but it didn't do anything to the Ifrit. He then threw this weird looking fireball at the guy burning him. With the snap of his fingers he exploded."
Lena knew the last part of the girl's description lined up with the news report but she had to be sure she wasn't lying "What color were his flames."
"Silver with white accents."
There's no way she could tell that from a black and white video so her word was on the up and up, "Okay continue."
"After everything was over he took some of my food saying I owed it to him for saving me. He threatened to kill me if I told anyone that I saw him. Before he left he asked me for the quickest way to the north end of the city, so I told him about the train station and figured he was still there."
Tracer had gotten all the info she needed "Thanks, go home"
Aida did as she was told but waved good bye to Tracer as she did
Tracer waved as the Aida left heading back home "Athena?"
"I relayed your entire in conversation to Winston."
"Thanks, now we have a general idea where he is."
Tracer made her way back to the train station to get Winston and follow their new lead.
(First-Person POV)
'This was a terrible idea that never should have been attempted' I thought as I scuttled through the shaft
The air vents were stuffy and smelly. It was also dark with cold air pumping through them. The only way I could see where going was with C.A.T shining light through her eyes using flashlight mode. I still hadn't come across a room that seemed important. Nothing but a few cubicles, hallways, and probably my favorite a female changing room…I spent a lot in that vent. I crawled up, down, and around but still no luck if in finding anything. I crawled up the main shaft for a total number of 5 floors out of 21. Right now, I'm on the 6th floor with no pleasing results. It got to the point where I had C.A.T making a digital map of the floors we had already gone through so I didn't get lost.
'C.A.T how much of this floor have we charted.' I tele-communicated
'About 25% onii-chan.' C.A.T relayed
"Great." I mumbled aloud
As was crawling I overheard something. It sounded like a male, two of them in fact. I went to the source and looked down through the vent's filter grate. They were armed and dressed in SWAT gear, they must be the building security. I listened in,
"Hey?" One said
"Yeah." The other stated
"You ever wonder why we're here?"
"Wow man that's really deep man."
"No, I mean why are we here on this floor when we could be on floor 12 like the others? They're just guarding the sever room and hardly anyone does anything there. They just chill and eat snacks."
'Floor 12 huh and from the sound of it security is pretty lax so getting in should be easy.'
'Ready to crawl through more vents onii-chan.'
'Fuck that, no more vents. I'm taking their goddamn elevator.'
I removed the filter grate and dropped down getting the jump on the two guards, knocking them out. I walked through the halls to the elevator and pressed the 12th floor button.
The elevator arrived at the floor and in a few seconds the door opened. I walk through the hall until I was staring a security desk. Luckily for me the guard that was supposed to be on lookout was asleep. Obviously, this place needs better guards. Not wanting to take any chances I grabbed his cuffs and chained him to his chair while he was sleeping.
I walked past them and into the sever room. Rows and rows of computer servers, now all I have to do is choose which one.
'C.A.T which one should we use?'
'Anyone should be fine. I'm sure that I can into the main system. Just plug me into anyone.'
I took C.A.T off my scarf and popped out the terminal strip from the bottom of the pin (Think of a smaller version of Robo-cop's terminal strip) and plugged her into the nearest sever bank. C.A.T's eyes became this mixed matched combination of 1's and 0's that I couldn't make sense of.
I crossed my arms and waited 'How's it look C.A.T?'
'There's a lot here. Many of the things this company does are outside the law. They've blackmailed, embezzled funds, committed corporate espionage and sabotage, used civilians for nonvoluntary labor, and they've even blown up the building of a rival company called Calado in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil just to get a contract to build in the slums of the city.'
'Wow dirty business but not of any concern to us. Find something on their lab research preferably something about weapons.'
'It seems that they have been working on a new combat armament called the Infinite Weapons System. It would allow the user to create weapons out of hard-light. It was made to lessen the load soldiers would have to carry into battle and to prevent the chance of omnics taking control of advanced weaponry.'
'Sounds like my thing. Where can we find it?'
'They have a weapons deal with the Korean military's MEKA division and another with the Russian Defense Force. They should be manufacturing them there so they'll already be available.'
'So, that makes two locations I can go to, Russia or Korea.'
'South Korea to be exact' C.A.T corrected
'Whatever, my Totality Connection is recharged so I could teleport to either one if you have a picture of their facility.'
'Yes, I have pictures of both facilities.'
I took C.A.T out of the server and put her back on my scarf, 'Great, show me one and we'll-'
I was cut off when I was suddenly blasted in the side and slammed against a nearby wall.
"Okay, what the fuck." I said as I picked myself up as my regeneration healed the wound from the blast.
I stood up and saw a rather attractive Indian woman standing in front of me. She had on a dress that revealed her legs, a white crown with a visor, and a tri-pronged armament in her hand.
"Who are you?" she asked
"Well I could be asking the same question. Also, what are your measurements" I said ogling her
She just kept a stern expression on that cute face of hers. I think it would be best if just complied and told her my name. It wasn't that she could find me in any database anyway.
"My name is Jakobe, Jakobe Emalfrevlis. What's yours?"
She narrowed her eyes "Symmetra. Wait you're the boy on the news. Surrender and come with me."
"Well I would love to "come with you" but I have things to do."
I could tell she was done with my attitude. She raised her weapon arm thing and pointed it at me and fire a ball of plasma towards me. I used my speed to dodge the blast and charged at her to punch her. But as I was closing in she punched she put up some sort of domed energy shield, making my punch useless.
I backed off, I need to get out of the sever room it was too cramped in here for me to get a real edge. I activated my silver flames and throw a large fireball at her. Her shield protected her but I did distract her long enough for her to lose sight me as I ran through the sever room going for the exit.
'C.A.T who was that chick.'
'According to Vishkar records she is Satya Vaswani aka Symmetra. She's the company's top field agent.'
'Well that's great but how the hell did she know we were here if the security was asleep.'
'Scanning…it appears that there was a silent alarm located at the entrance. I'm sorry onii-chan I should have been more vigilant.'
'It's cool C.A.T even if you did know about it I doubt we could have avoided it.'
As I barreled out the door I noticed that the security guard from earlier was no at his deck. This Symmetra chick must've let him go when she came in.
"Not so fast," I looked forward to see Symmetra standing between me and the elevator but this time she has two weird looking orbs beside her, "this is your last chance to surrender."
'C.A.T how did she get ahead of us?'
'Do you see that disk underneath her? It's a teleporter she must've placed it there beforehand.'
'Well it won't matter she followed me to a wide open space.'
I now had the necessary space to fight for real. I dashed towards her but then those two orbs began to shoot plasma from them. I dodged with ease, I threw two fire balls that them taking them out. She tried to put up another shield but it wasn't going to work this time. Before she could deploy the shield, I grabbed her weapon arm and ripped it from her. I crushed it and used my silver flames to burn it to ensure that she wouldn't be using it again.
I looked at her, her face full of worry,
"Looks like your toys are broken. Now this fight is over, go home, and lick your wounds like a good little doggy!"
I punched her in the face causing her to slammed into the elevator and on to the ground. I walked up to see that her nose was gushing blood. She gasped a bit before finally passing out. Maybe I went a bit too far, I put her next to the desk and sat her up to make her comfortable.
As I was preparing to leave the elevator doors opened, "Miss Symmetra I brought the backup you requested."
I looked to see a team of security guards armed with automatic weapons trained on me. That's where the sleeping guard went. I didn't want to wat time so I concentrated my fire into a beam and fired it into the elevator, blowing it up along with the security.
"Whew, is it hot in here or is it just me?" I said as loosened my collar
"Onii-chan we have a problem." C.A.T said worried
"What is it C.A.T."
"The elevator is falling and is making your fire spread all throughout the lower floors of the building! Their structural integrity is falling fast! We need to leave now!"
"Right." I looked over to Symmetra. There was no way she was gonna make it out of here in her condition.
I laid Symmetra down so I could lift the desk. I picked it up and threw it out the nearby window. I carried Symmetra bridal style and jump out aiming for the roof of a nearby building.
"Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit." I said as I was falling. I turned my back towards impact to shield Symmetra.
We hit the roof and I tumbled and rolled accidently letting go of Symmetra. I stood up and saw the Vishkar HQ collapse to the ground in an inferno of silver fire sending dust and ash through the streets.
"Crap."
"It response units are on their way onii-chan."
"Great now let's put the agent on the ground so she can be found amongst the debris."
I grabbed Symmetra and jumped down to the side walk. The dust and ash started to settle in the streets and I saw the ambulances arrive. I turned my scarf into a make-shift turban and hailed one of the ambulances. They stopped and a doctor with a surgical mask came out,
"Are you hurt?" he asked
"No, I'm fine but this lady here is in need of urgent medical attention."
He inspected Symmetra in my arms "She's lost quite a lot of blood and her nose is broken but she should be okay. We'll take her from here."
I handed the doctor and his medical team took Symmetra and loaded her on to the ambulance. I saw them drive off.
"Well C.A.T that's all over so now onto those pictures." I said putting my scarf back around my neck
"Yes onii-chan but what about Symmetra?"
"You heard the doc she'll be fine. As for the bases just show me a random on an we'll go."
"Okay onii-chan." C.A.T said before she displayed a base covered in snow
"Great snow just what I needed." I mumbled
With the image in mind I teleported to the location leaving the law enforcement to clean up my mess.
(Third-Person POV)
Tracer and Winston were on the rooftops and watched in horror as the Vishkar HQ came crumbling to the ground in an explosion of silver flames. Screams of civilians filled the streets as dust and ash enveloped them. There was nothing either one of them could do to save the people. They knew who caused this but they didn't know why he did.
"Oh, my god." Tracer whisper
"How could he cause that kind of destruction by himself?" Winston pondered
To Tracer this was just another reason to put the boy away. Both Overwatch agent knew that if he was capable of this then no one in the world was safe.
Unknown Location
"DAMNIT!" Sombra yelled as she slammed on her keyboard
She had searched the internet and pretty much every military database in the world but still nothing on the boy from the news. As she started angrily into her computer another holo-vid showed up with a news report saying that Vishkar HQ hah collapsed in a silver fire explosion. Sombra knew that those silver flames belonged to the same boy she was looking for. As she was watching the video the doors to her room opened. In walked a man wearing a black cloak and a skull mask; the assassin Reaper.
"Sombra time to hang up your little scavenger hunt for a later date. We have a mission."
"Urgh fine where this time."
"Russia."
Urgh Finally uploaded. Sorry it took to long Finals are really tedious and take a lot of time to study for them . I didn't really have enough time to write but here it is any way. I'll try to write anytime I have free time but it my take awhile.
Well anyway here's Jakobe's Profile:
My OC
Jakobe Emalfrevlis
Gender: Male
Moral Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Age: 16 (as he claims)
Universe: Unknown
Background: An interdimensional traveler that looks for trouble and plays by his own rules. Not much else is known.
Personality: He's selfish he does whatever he wants whenever it suites him. He does not feel obligated to help people with his powers so he won't do anything unless the problem in question starts to affect him. If he does help it's for a reward. He's also a bit of a pervert, he tends to ogle women and makes comments on their body figure.
Powers:
· Supernatural Condition- Exceed the natural physical and mental limit. Top strength can lift large aircrafts and destroy tough metals, top speed breaks Mach 1, durable enough to take powerful explosions (Though they still hurt and leave scars. The scars usually heal), regeneration (Similar to Wolverine).
· Silver fire manipulation- Has control over fire. He can generate, absorb, solidify, or intensify fire. His flames are inextinguishable.
· Totality Connection- Can travel unrestrictedly to any universe at any point in their timeline.
· Hypercompetence- Highly skilled in some fields. Fields include; cooking, cleaning, fighting, drawing, and driving/piloting.
· Weapon Proficiency- Any weapon he holds he's a master at using.
God-mode: In this form eyes turn red and hair turn white and the new powers added are:
- Absolute Condition- All physical and mental abilities are brought up to levels vastly superior to super-humans. Allows him to go toe-to-toe with beings comparable to demigods.
- Omni-Combustion- His silver flames are now able to set anything on fire.
- Adaptive Power-level- His power will rise when up against a more powerful opponent. Does so gradually and takes time.
Gear:
Scarf: Snow white color and has as sentimental value to Jakobe. If lost he will rip through things to find it. Also it's immune to the full effects of his silver flames. It kindles at the end when Jakobe uses his powers
C.A.T: the Computer-generated Artificial Taskmaster. Jakobe's portable AI in the shape of a cat pin that he keeps in the front of his scarf. It has a Japanese Moe voice. Calls him Onii-chan because it's the only way for here to address her master. Jakobe constantly tries to change her setting to get her to stop.
Weaknesses:
While intelligent he's completely head strong and won't make plans until he feels it necessary. Most of the time he has C.A.T do all the-what he calls-"computer stuff".
When using Hypercompetence he can only focus on the one thing he's doing. Even with Hypercompetence there are somethings he's not skilled in. But upon learning new things and practicing them they can be added to his skillset.
His God-mode drains his life force so if he stays in it for too long it will kill him. Jakobe's longest recorded time in God-mode is an hour. If he goes over an hour his body will begin to be enveloped in immense pain. Adaptive Power-level may increase his power but if he hit his hour mark or is taken out before then it won't work.
Can only use Totality Connection once per day. Needs an idea of where he's going to work. He mostly uses pictures to get the idea. It's not exactly precise will just land him in the vicinity of the place he's picturing or just some random spot if he generalizes.
He's a weapons master but his silver flames initial temperature are so hot that most normal weapons like guns and swords either melt or explode in his hand. So he can't use his silver flames if he wants to use a weapon.
Thanks for reading see you next time. :)
