Chapter 8
~3rd POV Peter and Lena~
"Ok, now Lena, fire the web at that branch!" Peter called to her. She looked and saw the branch he was talking about. She breathed in and exhaled. She was frightened a little, but she shook it off.
'Calm down Lena. You've seen Peter do this plenty of times.' She thought. She aimed her wrist at the branch and fired a web. It sprang out and latched itself on the branch. Lena tugged at it to make sure it would hold her.
She took a deep breath. "Don't worry, I'll be here to catch you!" He yelled to her. She exhaled and jumped.
"Aie!" She screamed as she jumped of the roof of the cabin and swung upwards towards the air. Peter stared at her as she swung past him. She landed in the tree and looked down. Vertigo hit her bad as she quickly clung for dear life onto the tree branch.
"Peter! Help me!" She yelled down. Peter looked at her and dashed off and climbed the tree to where Lena was.
"Hey there, need a lift?" He asked with a smile. Lena let go of the tree and held onto Peter. She was trembling pretty bad.
"All right, all right I got you Lena. It's ok." He said holding the trembling Brit. He took the web shooter from her wrist and placed it on his and shot a web out. He then lowered himself and Lena to the ground.
"Sorry, I guess I am scared of heights." She said with a whimper. Peter looked at her and smiled.
"Lena Oxton, ace pilot, afraid of heights?" He asked with a chuckle. She frowned at him and placed her hands on her hips.
"Oh shut yer trap webhead." She spat and crossed her arms. "Oh come on Lena, I was just pokin' some fun. You don't have to get angry hun." He retorted with a smile. She sighed and dropped her arms.
"I'm sorry, I guess I was shocked to be that high. I've been on the ground since my accident. I forgot what flying was like." She said looking to the sky. Peter looked at her face as she smiled.
Lena felt the sun shine on her face as she reminisced on past memories of soaring into the air. She truly missed flying. She was tired of fighting on the ground, she wanted to fight in the air in a plane. But because of her Chronal Disassociation, she was grounded. She hated it, but she knew it was the right thing to do. If she was fighting in a plane, her Chronal Accelerator would be at high risk to be shot at by enemy fire.
Peter looked at her and hugged her. "I can guess what you're thinking. You can and will go flying." He said looking into her eyes. "What do you mean?" She asked looking back at the other brunette.
"Because with your Chronal Bracelet, now you can fly." He said with a smile. She looked at Peter and tears started to well in her eyes. She grabbed Peter into a hug and cried.
Peter stroked her back and spoke words of comfort to the Brit. She looked back at him and smiled.
"Thank you Peter." She said with a smile as the tear marks remained. He smiled and wiped the tear tracks away and kissed her forehead.
"So, when do you want to go?" He asked.
~Watchpoint Gibraltar 3rd POV~
76 sighed as he looked at the paperwork in front of him. Angela was sitting next to him. She looked at him and put a hand on his shoulder.
"76, you should get some rest. You've been at this for 12 hours now." She said giving him a smile. 76 sighed under his mask and got up. "Yeah, maybe some sleep would help." He walked off to his room and opened the door. He closed the door and locked the door.
He walked to the bathroom and flipped the light on. He took off his mask and looked at himself in the mirror.
"What have you done Jack?" He said to himself. Oh you didn't know? Soldier 76 is the deceased Strike Commander John 'Jack' Morrison. But don't tell anyone that! It's a secret remember.
He looked at his reflection. He raised a hand to his face as he traced the scars on his face. "I'm too old for this." He said.
"You looked better than I thought Jack." A voice was heard. He looked behind him to see his old teammate. The one he thought was killed by Widowmaker.
"You haven't changed a bit Ana." He said crossing his arms with a smile. Ana walked into the light. He saw an eyepatch that wrapped itself around her right eye and the same tattoo as her daughter Fareeha under her left eye. She had snow white hair and looked as if she could out run Tracer.
"So, you gonna just sit there or am I going to get a hug?" She asked with a smile. Jack smirked and hugged his long lost comrade.
"It's been to long Ana. What brings you back?" He asked walking out of the bathroom and sitting on a chair. Ana walked to the edge of the bed and looked him in the eye.
"Well, Talon has been trying to make weapons of mass destruction to destroy the world." She said. "What else is new?" He said with a smirk. "Well, that and you have a traitor in your midst." She said. Jack straightened up in his chair and leaned in.
"Who?" He asked. "I don't know yet, but I know someone has been feeding intel from here to Talon HQ." She said pulling out a recorder. She pulled up a small table and placed it on the surface. She pushed the 'Play' button.
"How do we know this isn't some Overwatch trick?" A gruff voice asked. "Because, I never asked to join, I was practically forced too. I was happy where I was until I was dragged into this freak show again." A feminine voice replied. Jack tensed at this voice, it sounded familiar.
"Well, we are happy you have supplied us with this information." The voice replied. "Good, but don't hurt Spider Man, he's like a son to me." She begged.
Ana pushed the 'Stop' button. "See. Who do you think it is?" She asked. "I know it's a female member so we can rule out the men. But she said she was 'dragged into this freak show again'" He said.
"The only female members I remember joining Overwatch from the beginning are Lena, myself, and Angela. So, it has to be either Lena or Angela." She said.
"We narrowed down the list, but we still need to observe them quietly. We can't let them know we're onto them." He said. She nodded and walked to the window she came in. "I just hope we know what we're doing." She said finally before slipping out.
"I hope too Ana, I hope to." He said. Jack got up and placed his mask back on and unlocked his door as he opened it. He saw Angela walk by. She looked at him and smiled.
"Hello 76, are you resting well I hope?" She asked. Jack looked at her and nodded. "Y-yeah, I just need to get some air." He said. She looked at him and nodded.
"Well don't stay out too long, you do need your rest." She replied cheerily and walked off to her room. Jack watched as she left into her room and sighed.
'I could be paranoid, Angela can't possibly be the one. I guess I'm just losing it. Maybe, but I'd better keep an open mind and watch for any clues.' He thought and walked outside. He looked at the setting sun and sighed.
'I just hope it's not Lena, for Peter's sake. I'd hate for him to be heartbroken.' He thought and sat down near the clear and watched as the sun set. He looked at the colorful streaks in the sky the sun made as it set.
After a few minutes, he felt himself dozing off to sleep.
~The Next Morning Jack's POV~
I felt cold. I looked up and saw I was still at the cliff looking out at the sea. I looked at my clock and saw it read 6:30am. "Damn, I guess I must've fell asleep on the cliff." I said aloud and got up and stretched.
I felt a pop in arms and back and sighed in relief. "Not the best bed, but comfy none the less." I said and walked back to the base. I walked into the kitchen and saw Reinhardt, Angela, Torbjorn, and a new person.
"Ah, good morning 76, this is Agent Wadjet, she's a new recruit." Angela said with a smile. Wadjet looked at me and nodded. She walked up to me and held a hand out. I shook her hand and nodded to her.
"It's going to be great to fight with you Soldier 76." She said. My eyes widened as I realized it was Ana.
"Likewise Agent Wadjet." I said and let go of her hand and walked to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee for myself.
~Lena and Peter 3rd POV~
"Are you sure about this Lena?" Peter asked. The two brunettes walked to the airport school and entered.
"Yeah Peter, why you scared?" She asked with a grin. "No, I'm just wondering if you're ready for this. It's been long hasn't it?" He asked. "Yeah, but I still know my way around a plane." She said with a determined smile.
"Ok, ladies first." He said opening the door for her. She smiled at him and waltzed into the lobby. They looked around the lobby and felt the cold A/C hit them.
They walked to the receptionist and signed up for Plane School. After getting the necessary papers done and over with, they were allowed to the planes. Lena dragged Peter to a small four passenger plane. The teacher came over to get in with them until Lena declined.
"I know what I'm doing luv, been doing this all my life. Well, except when I was a small girl." She said. The teacher protested that an observer needed to be present. She sighed and complied.
Her and Peter sat in the front while the teacher climbed in back. She turned the plane on and placed her headphones on to communicate with the rest of the passengers. She pulled out on the runway and began gaining speed and lifted off into the air.
The reached 40,000 ft and stayed at the altitude. Peter looked outside and gasped. "Wow, this is beautiful." He said looking at the fields in the countryside from the air. He was in awe at the sight that present. The teacher smiled at Peter.
"I'm glad you love the sight, are you new to the US?" He asked. "No, I was just mesmerized at how beautiful it was." Peter replied. He looked over at Lena and smiled. "There is also another sight that I think is beautiful." He said grinning.
Lena looked over at him and a light pink hit her cheeks. "Love ya too dweeb." She said kissing his cheek. He laughed and looked back out at the sight of the plains.
After a few hours, Lena landed the plane back at the school. The teacher gave her an A+ and her flying permit.
"Don't you already have a permit?" Peter asked. "Yeah, but might as well have two just in case." She said sliding the card in her pocket. Peter smiled and walked back to their car and got in and drove back to their cabin.
As they approached the cabin, they saw someone waiting for them. It was Widowmaker. Peter gasped and grabbed his web shooters and jumped out of the car and ran at her. He threw a punch at her which she blocked and kicked him the gut. He growled at her and fired two webs at the wall behind her and used the momentum to launch himself at her. He used his feet to kick her in the gut and slam her into the wall.
"How did you find us?" He snapped at the assassin. She shook off her daze and kicked Peter off of her. "You think you were so secluded cherie? It wasn't hard to spot you. Besides, I don't ever forget a face." She said winking at Peter.
"Ok you snobby bitch, keep your hands and your face away from my man." Lena said and dropkicked her in the face. Widowmaker stumbled away from her and Peter took the opportunity to web her to the wall of the cabin.
"At least tell me what the safe word is." She said with a sly smile. Peter scowled and webbed her mouth shut.
"Can't have a decent leave without being interrupted by Talon and their goons." He groaned. He sighed and walked over and ripped the web off.
"Thank you, now before you attacked me, I wanted to tell you that you have a traitor in Overwatch." Widowmaker said.
