Overwatch is owned by Blizzard Entertainment. Batman: The Arkham Series is owned by Rocksteady, WB Games Montreal, Visceral Gaming and DC Comics.
I own no character except Alex Terrell. The Arkham Knight will be OC, so he will not be Jason Todd or connected in anyway with Bruce Wayne or the Bat Family.
That said, Please Enjoy the Show!
Chapter 10: Project Vulture
Buzludzha Communist Headquarters, Mount Buzludzha Kazanluk, Bulgaria
"All teams, sound off."
"Alpha team, set to deploy." Checkmark team 1.
"Bravo team, continuing patrol route." Checkmark team 2.
"Charlie Team, drone systems now coming online." Checkmark team 3.
"Delta team, sounding off." Checkmark team 4, and last but not least…
"Gamma and Talon unit, resuming patrol pattern around the Central Mixing Complex." This was going better than I hoped, Arkham Knight thought to himself. Knowing Alex, he'll come wanting vengeance. So until then, I'll just wait until-
"Sir, an unidentified dropship has been seen entering Bulgarian airspace." The Militia Sargent spoke out to his commander, who smiled under his mask. Speak of the young devil, he finished thinking. "Do we shoot it down?"
"No, let it come forward towards the BCH Chemical Complex. Only engage when the dropship is approximately 31 meters," The Knight instructed to his secondary. "Have Rattler and Twin Rattler tanks stationed 12 meters near the Chemical Complex."
Meanwhile, Overwatch Orca-Class Dropship
"This project chemical is simply used 1 ounce of the newest toxin," The figure on the small pad screen wore a black hood with a mechanical like mask with four small LED lights near the eyes. The hood was connected to a dark grey armor set that covered his chest and stomach. He also had metal forearms covers connecting to the shoulders, and a shotgun like weapon on his back. "Sad to see people's sanity can break so easily, but that's what the world's come to. Do not get involved with Talon or the Arkham Militia, otherwise this Black Death will steal the breaths of…"
"Winston," Red Hood put the video to pause and moved towards his gorilla comrade at the controls. "How close is the BCH from us?"
"Not far, close to 20 meters," Winston stated, pressing several screen buttons which brought Athena's insignia online. "Athena, what do you know about the Buzludzha Headquarters?"
"Founded in 1891 by Turks expelled by the Bulgarian government closely 500 years ago, Mount Buzludzha served as the countries earlier socialist philosophers secret meeting station to lay the foundation for the Bulgarian Communist Party." Athena explained, showing several images of the founders and the building schematics itself. "The Bulgarian Communism party fell to its end towards 1989, leaving it open to ransacking and natural elements."
"So, from what I've gathered the area we're entering has a temperature of near minus 30 degrees," Overwatch scientist Mei entered the room, fixing her blue jacket and Ice pistol. "There's also not really trees or coverings in the snow, so we will have to use snow and probably wreckage of any destroyed machines for cover and invisibility."
"Right," Winston nodded, checking the main systems and weapons systems. "Lena, are you alright?"
"So far, the Redstream is faster than I recalled." At the moment, Lena was piloting the Redstream with Soldier: 76 at the copilot seat. At first, she was nervous about the incident but never the less went with the plan. "Hopefully she still shoots like before."
"Alright, we're all set then." Red Hood reentered the bay of the ship, looking at his allies. There was Soldier: 76, Tracer, Winston, Mei, Genji, Mercy and himself. So a total of seven, somewhat small and concise. "Ready for drop?"
"Indeed," Genji nodded for the others, before an abrupt explosion shook the Orca. Several other burst of smoke hit the ships sides, but luckily the Orca was able to dodge with slight ease. "They're trying to shoot us down!"
"Winston, how close are we?" Red Hood asked loudly.
"About 12 meters away!" He heard, followed by an explosion that tore a newly fresh hole under the ships control seat. "Damn, we've lost the gun systems! We're going to get shot without them!"
"Shit, we have to jump!" Red Hood muttered, hitting the emergency exit button near the rear of the ship. "Everyone, with me NOW!"
More holes were ripped into the Orca's sides before finally a bullet made contact. The Orca's front engine cell burst into a fiery inferno, causing the Orca to take a nosedive. The Overwatch agents cried out as the sudden dive, with Winston trying to pull the Orca's nose up. "We have to jump!" Winston rushed off the seat, taking up his Tesla Cannon before climbing towards the others. "Jump, NOW!"
It didn't take long for the others to jump off the crashing Orca, with the Redstream bobbing and weaving missiles and bullets from below. "Damn, they're coming at us now!" Tracer growled in annoyance, she was not going to lose this jet like last time! The Redstream fired back below, trying to hit anything that moved. "Red Hood? Winston? Anyone below do you copy?"
Meanwhile
"Black Crane, our locations been compromised. I'm having all troops evacuate the base's blast zone. Talon and Gamma squad will deal with the threat should they arrive." The Arkham Knight's personal helicopter revved to life with a roaring engine, lifting of the ground.
"Right, understood." Jordan Crane, otherwise called the Black Crane, fixed another chemical system into the chambers mixers. Having an underground mixing chamber did serve well, especially a mixing chamber 120 feet below the BCH. "Reaper, do tend to our new guests."
"Acknowledged," the Grim Reaper of Talon nodded, forming into his wraith mode before exiting in a trial of smoke.
Outside the fortified BCH, the Overwatch members from the earlier crash managed to take cover behind the Orca's remains. "Winston, how are you doing on your end?" Red Hood tossed another concussion grenade, stunning the larger Rattler for a moment. A roar from the gorilla scientist and the several pounding sounds of metal before ripped to shreds told Red Hood all he needed to know.
Winston was having a bad day.
"Everyone freeze!" Mei giggled while Genji groaned at her pun. "Hey, don't go giving me the cold shoulder over there, Genji!"
"Please let this end," the cybernetic ninja sighed in annoyance, deflecting bullets back to the Militia troopers. The Redstream gave a roar of excitement as it fired multiple missiles to the ground below, sending explosions to life in a trail of fire. "The enemy is retreating, we must push forward!"
"Right, let's move in!" Red Hood rushed forward, firing rounds and attacking several troopers. He tossed his handgun to a troopers face mask, and while the troop cried out he took advantage by firing the man's rifle around the Militia group, the rifle still in the man's hand. He kicked the man down afterwards, killing him with a round to the face.
Abruptly, several large silver twin propelled helicopters seemed to rush away from the far back of the BCH mountain range. They each bared the Arkham Knight's banner, with several attempting to shoot the old Overwatch members dead. In front of the group sat the Buzludzha Communist Headquarters, fortified with newly made metal walls to cover the old disc and inner structure.
"Alright, let's move forward!" Genji called out, rushing forward before the others. He made it only five feet before getting sent back by a powerful gunshot to the chest. "Augh!"
"Genji!" The others called out in horror, Red Hood and mercy being the ones to rush to his aid. A dark purple and black smoke cloud spiraled close to the trio, creating a dark coated male with a skull like mask and twin shotguns.
"Death comes for you all," The voice of Reaper chuckled darkly as he saw the previous Overwatch members flinch or step back with worry. "Overwatch, huh? I'll put an end to your sad story."
A/N: So Reaper and the Red Hood come face to face, both prepared to die for their own causes. What will happen? Please review and share your thoughts on the story so far, I'd love to hear from the readers personally on the story
