AN: heyo! I'm back, apologies for the delay, but I've just started my Junior year, so life is pretty chaotic at the moment, leaving me little time to write.
But yeah, I'll probably start posting on the weekends, if I don't update for a while, don't worry, I'm not going to abandon the story, I've got a lot of plot ideas, which will be covered soon.
But anyways, on with the story.
I own nothing, as per usual.
Watchpoint: Gibraltar, 9:00 A.M. CET
Karkarius' POV
It's been a few weeks since we captured my sister, and recruited Robyn. It's been mostly quiet, with a few missions here and there, but overall, I can't complain.
Lena and I have been trying to convert my sister to Overwatch, but I doubt she will…
You see, while yes, my sister and I were close, that ended after she was kidnapped…
The mindwipe made her a heartless assassin, nothing like the caring sister that I remember.
Arachne has been hanging out with the other members of Overwatch, and Reaper is still pissed that we beat him.
Today we got a call to head to the boreal forest region of Canada, something about a figure made of shadows.
My money is on Project Nyx, but from my understanding, the original died. Though something about those serums doesn't sit right with me… where did they get them?
Anyways, myself, Lena, Mercy, Robyn, and the Twins are heading to the boreal forests, so that we can hopefully convince her to help.
Or fight, whichever way it goes, we're ready.
Boreal forests, Canada
Tracer's POV
Holy shite I hate the cold…
I had to pretty much cling to Karkarius, just to stay warm. Not that he minded.
Once we landed, the plane stayed, in case we needed somewhere moderately warmer than the surrounding area.
The twins and Mercy stayed behind, to cover the landing site.
The rest of us set about to find Nyx.
It took us about an hour of walking, but we found a small hut. Well, Karkarius found it, but I digress. We cautiously approached the small hut, our weapons put away, so as not to spook the inhabitant, or inhabitants.
Karkarius decided to knock, his facemask off, and his hood down.
Karkarius' POV
I knocked on the door, hoping to find someone friendly.
Of course, I hadn't thought about the possibility of a strange looking woman knocking the door open, and aiming an arrow at my chest
"who are you."
"I'm a friend, I'm not here to hurt you"
"then why are you armed?"
"it's the wilderness, I'm not about to go unarmed into the wilderness"
"fair point."
"you got a name?"
"..."
"I'm Karkarius, most call me Zeus though."
She looked startled when I said that
"you're one of them… come to take me back, aren't you?" she said, drawing her arrow back further
"no, I escaped them too, and joined Overwatch, the good guys…"
"why should I believe you?"
"Because, I could've easily just blown up the hut, but I knocked."
"so?"
"also, I plan to go cause more trouble for Talon, and I could use all the help I can get."
"hmm… I'm not sure, leave me for a few days, I must think."
"got it, c'mon guys, let's get back to the plane, it's a good thing we brought supplies to make camp."
A few hours later, at the makeshift camp
Tracer's POV
So, the twins gathered some firewood, Robyn got water, by using her light trails to channel some water from a nearby stream into a small crater tht we made using some explosives. We lined the crater with some waterproof tarp, so that the water wasn't muddy.
Shortly after we got a fire going, we set up tents, Karkarius and I shared one, the twins shared another, as well as Mercy and Robyn sharing one.
Each of us took different watches, just in case, Karkarius took one of the middle watches, and I took the last watch.
It was mostly uneventful, a few animals came by, curious, but they scattered whenever someone moved.
When I saw the sun rising, I set about waking up the others, and grabbed some food from the plane, getting enough for everyone
We ate our breakfast in silence, admiring the beauty around us.
We left that woman with simple map that showed our landing site, so that if she so desired, she could find us.
It started to snow, and I had a most mischievous idea.
Grabbing up a handful of snow, and shaping it into a ball, I hurled it at Karkarius, then blinked somewhere else, hiding behind a tree.
I heard a loud "the fuck?!"
I stood giggling behind the tree, trying to restrain myself so that I didn't alert him to my position.
It didn't work apparently, as a large chunk of snow crashed onto the top of my head
"gotcha!"
Laughing still, I blinked away, grabbing more snow, and readying myself to throw my frozen projectile.
The snowball fight lasted for a few hours, with the others joining in.
After we all got as dried off as we could, we huddled around the fire, so as to stay warm.
A few hours later
Karkarius' POV
A few hours after our snowball fight, Nyx showed up, her bow slung across her back
"I will join you, I suppose."
"excellent. You got a name?"
"my name is Aleesia."
"well Aleesia, welcome to Overwatch."
"thank you."
A few hours later, and we were headed back to Watchpoint Gibraltar.
All things considered, this was more of a vacation than a mission.
Eh, I suspect we'll have some action here soon.
AN: there we go, chapter 12, Introducing Project Nyx, submitted by Psykotic101
I am still in need of ocs for projects Hermes, Demeter, and Athena, so oc submissions are still open.
Anyways, reviews and pms are welcome.
As per usual, stay shiny!
