Chapter 7: Awakening
Joseph's POV
September 29, 2025 1:27 AM Near Alesso's concert
We were waiting for him, me, James, and Roger were just waiting for him we saw him coming in a helicopter that was flown by that girl that was with Overwatch.
"So looks like he joined the Feds well" Roger said as he picked up a lock on launcher and started to aim towards the helicopter, "Wait guys why are we even trying to kill him at all what is this is going to even accomplish" Joseph said to both of them.
"Well what this going to do is prevent him from ratting us out to the Feds so he can save his own skin so if we kill him" James said as he loaded the missile into the launcher Roger was holding, "he won't rat us out and we can continue our crime spree with the banks" Roger said as he started to aim the launcher towards them.
"Alright it's locked on hang on" Roger said as he was about to launch it, "alright launch it" James said as he and I covered our ears. "FIRE IN THE HOLE" Roger said as he launched the missile at them.
As we were recovering from the noise the launcher made when it fired the helicopter they were in started to fall, "Mission accomplished boys drinks on me" Roger said as he started to put the launcher back into the van we came in.
"Hell yes" James said as he entered, "Joseph you coming" he said to me as I was trying to process this, they didn't have to kill him, he would've kept his mouth shut because he was one of us as well. "Yeah just looking at the view" I said as I was trying to hide the sadness in my voice because we had killed one of our own.
Lena's POV
September 30, 2025 2:30 AM Watchpoint Gibraltar
"What happened Lena" Angela said as she was tending David's wounds, "I don't know Ange one moment we were fine next thing we were shot out of the sky" I said as Ange entered the medical area of Watchpoint. After we entered agents started to ask me and Ange what happened to him and me.
I was especially worried as he had a piece of shrapnel stuck in his forehead and had a major wound starting from his left eye to his upper lip, "Alright I can get rid of the scar he had gained but with this piece of shrapnel in his head I don't think I can do much" Angela said as she started to stitch up some of his wounds with a needle and thread.
"What do you mean you can't do much about the shrapnel" Lucio said as I was going to ask her because that piece of shrapnel looked like a horn coming from his head, "Well I can actually do something but it's going to take some time before I can commence the surgery to remove the shrapnel from his skull" she said as she finished stitching up his wounds and started to apply some sort of gel like substance on his scar. "Don't worry this is only going to fix the scar from forming and will repair the skin tissue that was lost when he received that wound" she said as she took of the glove that had that thing on it.
"Wait why can't you do the surgery now" I said as more agents started to surround David looking at his wounds and such, "I don't have the right equipment to remove the shrapnel from his skull without making him brain dead Lena" she said as she started to walk away but I walked and talked with her when we decided to let David rest in his room and let him get his energy back.
"Well how long will it take for the equipment to arrive" I said as we entered the living quarters of Watchpoint, "about 3 weeks Lena" she said as there was something in her voice but i couldn't tell what it was. "Look if i order it now it comes in 3 weeks so i need to go so I can order the equipment so we can commence surgery as soon as possible alright" Ange said as she entered her room leaving me out here in the halls.
David's POV
November 2, 2025 6:07 AM patient room #4
As I woke up I felt a sharp pain all over my face which started at my right side of my forehead which was where the most pain was to my upper lip, "Where the hell is everyone" I said as I started to take off the IV tube that was connected to my right arm.
When I finally took it off a alarm was set off, I thought someone had entered Watchpoint but the reason the alarm went off was that I took off my IV tube out of my arm. "David relax" I see Angela enter the room with her messy blond hair and I could tell that she had just woken up thanks to me sounding the alarm. "I'm sorry Angela did I wake you" I said as I knew I had woken her up because she was tired, "David have you gotten to a mirror yet" she said as I shook my head, "Well follow me" she said as I followed her to the bathroom.
"Alright before you freak out do-" she said as I interrupted her by saying"What do you mean freak out did I lose a eye or something" I said as I started to become terrified of what had happened to me. "Well look in the mirror" she said as she back away from the mirror.
as I walked very slowly towards the mirror I started to think to myself that did my face changed or something but that was quickly debunked as I saw something black appearing in the mirror before me, "what the hell"I said as I started to have tears come down as I looked to my forehead that there was a medium size piece of shrapnel sticking out like if I had a horn but instead of it being white and curved it was black and straight.
As I started to cry Angela walked towards me but I stood still as she was trying to comfort me during this time. "It's ok let it out" she said as my tears went from nothing to tears that kept coming out. I couldn't take it anymore, all the guilt that built up within me and with this made me break. I started kept crying into Angela's shoulder as she was patting my head saying that it wasn't good that I held all this emotion built up within me but I should talk to someone I cared for or was able to trust.
"Thank you really" I said as I stopped crying but when she looked into my eyes all she probably saw was my red eyes from crying too much. "It's fine but I need you to go back to sleep alright" she said as she helped me back to my bed, she was still in her Pj's which consisted of a white t shirt with a mini overwatch symbol on the top right of the shirt and had Pajama pants on, I put the IV back into my vain and what Angela did was she pulled up a chair and put her feet up and started to fall asleep. "What are you doing" I said as i didn't know what she was doing, "well i was thinking that we can get some shut eye since its 6 in the morning and by the way you were unconscious for about 4 days" when she said four day I nearly fainted hearing that I was knocked out for 4 days.
"Well I don't know what to say Angela" I said as I was telling the truth because after being KO for 4 days of my life I didn't know what to say, "Save it we'll talk about this later but for now can we get some sleep" she said as she started to fall asleep so I handed her a pillow and a blanket from my bed and I started to fall asleep as well because I need to get off the fact that I have a piece of shrapnel wedged into my skull.
