A.N: Failed drama and small feels :D Yay. Enjoy. Oh and action... don't forget the action... its the only thing I'm good at...
BLU SPY.
Spy was pacing in his room as he thought. He hadn't seen the girl in five days. Not in battle or anywhere else. The sickening feeling in his stomach wouldn't go away, it was like feeling guilty and nervous. Spy had only been nervous a couple times in his life and hated the uneasy feeling of it. So he tried his hardest to never be nervous and instead be calm and nonchalant in every situation. But now that he's felt on edge he can't seem to cope with it.
"EVERYBODY GROUP MEETING!" Spy's thought were suddenly disturbed by the yelling Soldier.
Spy took a peek out of his room and saw his team mates do the same. He looked across at Medic and furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. The Medic merely shrugged and came out from his room following the Soldier. Spy, after fixing his suit, followed but kept a good distance for personal reasons. By now they were in the intelligence room facing Solider as he yelled at them.
"Listen up! Mann. Co is rewarding us for our hard work!" The man shouted to the confused team mates. When they processed this many questionable enlightened looks were shared. A reward? From Mann. Co? But what would they give us?
Scout of course was the first one to actually ask this. "What they givin us?" The enlightened faces turned to confused faces as they turned their attention back to the Solider.
The man stood straight. "A new class!" He affirmed the team.
The team took this news well, with all the chats and nods of approval. Spy on the other hand was thinking deeply. *She got her own class. She's alive. Bien.* The corners of his lips were slightly rising and Medic took notice of it.
"Heh evan Spy iz happy to have a new class." Medic laughed as all the attention was brought to Spy whose small smile had turned into a frown before anyone could see.
ALICE.
Alice sat on her bed admiring her gloves as Scout sat on the floor fondling her boots.
"You said there was a blade? Where is it?" He examined the boot with a bewildered expression. Alice rolled her eyes.
"Theres a lump you pull on the inside near the toes." She used her head and nodded to the area.
Scout, still in disbelief, stuck his hand down the boot and fiddled with it until he flinched; surprised about the unexpected knife to pop out. "Holy crap! That things quick." He looked up at Alice who was shaking her head. Alice pressed the area at the bottom of the glove, and like expected, the curved claws shot out.
Scout's eyes widened ogling at her 'cool toy'. "Damn, we shoulda called your class predictor or... Or... Like cat." He smiled up at her and she rolled her eyes again laughing as she pushed his shoulder with her foot. Scout's eyes then found the shiny plastic under her bed and he acted before thinking by grabbing it and inspecting it. "This ya uniform?"
Alice retracted the claws and took the gloves off. "Yea..." She then leaned back and watched him.
A grin crossed his face. "Does it look cool?" The childish boy looked up to her and raised his eyebrow.
She just smiled. "I don't know, we'll find out tomorrow during battle."
Scout paused and looked back at the plastic wrapped clothes in his hands. He shifted uncomfortably then spoke. "Are you sure ya ready for battling yet?" His face was grim.
This made Alice feel uncomfortable. She had forgotten what she put him through before and sure didn't want to make him feel that way anymore. It struck a very sensitive nerve to see Scout upset. "I'll be fine. Don't worry..." She attempted to calm him but he still had that distraught look in his eye. That was when the nerve was plucked and Alice sat on the floor beside him, just wanting to be at his side for his sake of feeling safe. "I'll try just one fun battle...and nothing bad will happen because I can respawn. I'll be ok... Okay?" She nudged him in the arm trying to get his attention. He was too busy watching the light flicker off the shiny fabric. Finally after 10 seconds of silence, Scout's chest filled with air and his lips parted to speak.
"Okay." He nodded and Alice helped him stand up. She forced a smile but he looked too tired to reply so she sent him off so he could sleep and so she could figure out her weapons for tomorrow's battle.
Alice was up-an-early that morning. The temptation to know what her uniform looked like overtook her forcing her to get up out of bed and rip the plastic of the folded clothes. She pulled out a red t-shirt and laid it on her bed, then unfolded a pair of shorts with holsters attached to the belt along with a high pair of white socks. That was it; three simple articles of clothing. For some reason Alice's hopes were let down a bit, she was expecting more than this but oh well.
Alice wasted no time slipping into her new clothes, the fabric of the shirt felt nice tightly hugging her skin. Her other clothes seemed to be losing their shape and durability so having nice fitting clothes was a good change. After her shorts were on she fastened the belt and tightened the holster straps on her thighs. She pulled the socks up just below her knee and stuck on her hiking boots. This was followed by her tensing her toes, testing the lever inside to see how it worked. Without a doubt the blade shot out and she cringed her toes again to make the blades hide. Her joy came back, so what if the outfit was a little dull, she had tremendous weapons. Speaking of tremendous weapons, Alice opened the black suitcase to reveal her beautiful black pearl, silenced pistols. The smirk overpowered her face as she picked them up and affirmatively slid both pistols into the holsters attached to her hips. She reached to the case again going for the gloves. Admiring the black texture she slid her hands into them making sure the tips of her fingers touched the very ends of the fabric inside. After looking over herself she decided that was everything she needed and she was ready for battle.
Scout stood beside her in the start room. He was being quiet and Alice knew exactly why. The poor boy was still pretty shaken up about her incident and was obviously not looking forward to coming across it again. Alice sighed; her high of excitement was destroyed by Scout's overpowering depressing aura.
"Noce guns." Sniper spoke up behind her, cutting into her thoughts.
Alice smiled and looked back over her shoulder. "Just wait till you see my melee weapon." Her high was starting up again just at the thought of her new toys.
"Heh will I get to see em in action?" He smirked cocking his head to one side.
"3...2...1!" The Announcer was finally heard by the two.
Alice quickly replied. "Definitely." With that she smiled and ran off into the field.
The pure adrenaline pumping though her as she stepped out into the field. Everything seemed like it was I slow-mo giving her time to actually notice the beauty of this wasteland. The bright sun, warm dirt, fluffy clouds; all unrelated to the matter ahead, which was a die-hard Soldier ready for combat. Alice smirked it was time to test out her toys. The two black pistols were swiftly pulled from their holsters and aimed at the BLU Soldier. She squeezed the trigger and heard the most elicit sound that she now favored.
'click'
The sweet, short, sharp sound of the two small metal objects coming into contact with one another to form the outburst of a shockwave followed by a silver bullet. Resulting in the sudden explosion of scarlet rain from the Soldier's chest. Truly magnificent. Alice felt a new 'high', it was strange and abnormal; everything around seemed to actually be going in slow-mo. It was daunting, to have the world slow down so you could take advantage of it and twist anything that was going to happen so it never really did happen. She felt extravagant; she could see everything better now that the world could stop so she could actually admire it. It was amazing. Then it was gone.
"Run leetle girl!" the BLU Heavy shouted as his gun started up.
Alice was still recovering from what happened. Her hands were shaking slightly but whatever happened she wanted it to happen again. The girl quickly ran for cover as the bullets whizzed by her.
"Come out and fight ME!" Heavy demanded to the pile of crates the girl was hiding behind.
Alice acted quickly once the large man's gun stopped clicking to reload, she stood up with her guns aimed at the man and just then the high came back; everything was slow-mo. She could actually see the Heavy widen his eyes in surprise as he realized he was going to get shot. Of course that expression didn't last long before blood pooled from the hole in his head. Once the man started to fall back so did Alice's high. This was starting to scare her. She didn't know what was wrong with her and if she did she sure as hell didn't know how to control it.
Suddenly something in her mind twitched and she spun around shooting at the spot behind her. The BLU Scout dropped dead before her feet.
Alice was stunned. How the hell was all this happening? First she's in the matrix now she has spidey-senses!? What was going on!? She couldn't stop it, but she didn't want to stop it. This feeling was incredible to say the least. She shut her eyes and nodded faintly to herself. If this feeling helped her in battle then why stop it? Let it happen. And with that Alice took a couple slow reassuring steps. This was a start to something new.
Alice let out a huff, backed up then started running. Ahead of her was a Demoman blatantly charging at her. Once she was a mere meter away from the man things slipped into slow-mo again and Alice took one step and started a spin, halfway into the spin she pressed the area on her wrist releasing the claws. Finally as her spin came to an end her hand was stretched out with each individual claw separated. Then impact. Each individual claw ripping deep in to the Scotsman's skull. Slow-mo was over and Alice found herself at the after math of a structured spin. Her feet were firmly planted on the ground as her arm came back to its original spot. The disfigured corpse bleeding out in front of her. Truly magnificent.
BLU SPY.
Spy was on high alert looking for the girl. She was a new class, she had to be. But what if she wasn't? Subtle negative thoughts crept up into his mind, disagreeing with the hopes that she was still alive. But he pushed them aside in effort to not give up his search.
'BANG!'
A quick explosion caught his attention and he decided to see if the girl was somehow involved with the sound. With no delay, Spy ran through the wooden structures and peered out a window. To his disappointment it was just the opposing teams Demoman out in the field about a mile away from Spy, strutting out into battle, not afraid to grab attention. Of course that attention was caught by his BLU Soldier. The loud man, without hesitation shot the Demoman causing him to burst into tiny red chunks. Spy rolled his eyes as he watched the man scream and shout in victory, holding up his shovel as if it were a trophy. Then... he stopped. He turned around peering behind him as if he heard something. Spy was intrigued and narrowed his eyes at the situation. What was the man doing? Just then, out of nowhere a figure came crashing down, pouncing onto her target only to have her hand crush his skull on impact. Dust settled and the girl stood up from the mutilated Solider. That was Alice. Spy felt his heart pump faster at the sheer excitement that she was alive. She stood still above the body, pausing for something. It was odd but gave Spy the chance to examine her uniform; tight red shirt with a V-neck, brown shorts that were a little too short, and tall brown boots. He then inspected her weapons; two pistols in her holster, and that it. Spy found this odd but carried on admiring the girl and her new battle abilities. A smirk tugged at his lips, he couldn't get over that she was alive, even though there was never really a doubt. Spy let out a sigh then it got caught as he saw the girl flinch slightly. Confused, he squinted his eyes to get a better look. In a split second she pulled out her pistol and had it aimed in his direction. Without even a single sound Spy blacked out and opened his eyes to find himself in the respawn room.
ALICE.
This was fucking amazing! Alice was so pent up with euphoria and adrenaline. She was just in complete adventurous bliss. Nothing could touch her.
"BOINK!"
The BLU Scout was running down the field towards the RED Building, hitting the RED Heavy in the head on the way. Alice watched the boy jump over bodies and hurdle over crates, he was lightning fast but Alice seemed to see him slow down. Thanks to her new 'high'.
She took advantage of this and ran towards where the Scout would end up if they were to collide. Her high started dying down so she acted quick by pulling her gun out as Scout came a mere foot away from her.
'click'
The BLU Scout crashed into Alice sending them both to the ground. There was a pause from Alice as the dust around them settled. Then she realized; he was dead. She let out a reassuring sigh and shoved the body off her. The corners of her mouth rose as she laid there recuperating. Her chest rose and fell according to her breaths, then she jumped back up and ran into the field looking for a new opponent.
"Run Doctor run!" The BLU Heavy was back, verbally assisting his doctor as the man ran up in the wooden structures with the RED's intel. Alice smirked, her new opponents.
The girl started running; covering the distance between her and the grounded Heavy.
"Hey! Tubby!" Alice yelled out at the man, still running.
"What..?" The large man turned his attention away from the wooden windows above and turned around to face the source of the insult.
Alice smiled. It worked. With that she squeezed her toes triggering the blades to pop out of the tips of her boots.
"Who is Tubby?" The bewildered man questioned loudly as the girl made her last running steps at him before making a small jump.
Alice's blade stuck into the man's stomach only to be drawn out then pierced again by the other foot. She did this in a quick motion as if she going up a set of stairs. Jumping off of the last 'step' and grabbing hold of the windowsill. Without hesitation she pulled herself up and glanced out the window. The dead Heavy had fell back showing the multiple stab wounds trailing from his stomach up to his face. It was gross but holy shit was that awesome.
Just as she turned around she was greeted by the BLU Medic. They were about a meter apart when he pulled the trigger on his syringe gun. Alice's 'high' didn't kick in so she was left to defend herself from the five needles headed her way. Out of pure reaction she did a quick sidestep to the right, only to get nicked in the left arm. The pain made Alice hiss and wince. She quickly took a look at the damage, the needle pierced right through the surface of her skin making it look like an actual piercing. The girl pulled it out quickly and dodged another round of syringes. With the needle in her hand she ran up to the Medic and swung it at him lodging it into his right shoulder. After that very quick action she followed it up with a quick swipe of her claws against his face and then one last swipe with her other hand breaking his skull. The man's body, still in denial of dying, made a couple steps backwards then finally gave in and fell down. The RED case was dropped and emitted a strange red glow.
"The enemy team has dropped the intelligence!" The Announcer wailed.
Alice then remembered Scout telling her that the case would appear back in the intel room if no one touched it for a whole minute. She thought about this for a moment and decided the best way of getting it back safely was to guard it for the 60 second count down.
BLU SPY.
Of course the Medic died before he could even get it past half of the field. That man was not a fighter, he was a healer and that's what he should do, not go out and do what should rightfully be Scout's job. Stupid men. They all have perfect potential for a certain job but then they decide to do something that they are not skilled in.
Spy was deeply thinking as he went to go correct Medic's mistake and retrieve the dropped intel. "...incompetent fools...
ALICE.
She could hear something... Something in the distance. A pitter-patter noise as if someone was running. She put herself on guard and placed herself up against the wall from where the noise was coming from. Alice peered around the doorframe listening as the pitter-patter got closer. She swung her head back quickly and took a deep breath preparing for what came.
"Ugh... Merde..." a familiar French voice cursed under his breath.
Alice's eyes went wide and her heart started pumping. She froze, still flat against the wall. She stayed like that as the BLU Spy walked in right past her, bending down to pick up the case and to shake his head at the dead Medic. Finally she snapped out of it and swiftly lifted her pistol to the back of his head.
"I think that belongs to me..." She held back the painful smirk trying to remain professional.
Spy immediately cringed then straightened up. "Bonjour mon petite chaton..." He spoke slyly and Alice didn't have to see his face to know that he was smirking.
"Put it down." Alice was being assertive.
"Fine." With no emotion the man slowly lowered the case to the floor.
Alice let the smirk come out, she dominated the dominator. But her smirk went away once Spy spun around and had successfully hit the gun out of her hand. Without hesitation Alice went to pull her other gun out but Spy grabbed the barrel of the silencer and pulled it out of her grip only to throw it behind his back.
"You don't need thoze chaton." His eerie smile grew as he stepped closer to Alice.
Alice initial reaction was to back away but something in her body tugged her to do the opposite. So the girl confidently met Spy in the middle and stepped closer to him, getting up in his face.
BLU SPY.
He definitely did not expect her to do that. He just took away her only weapons and here she was getting even closer to her possible demise. Not that Spy didn't mind but he hoped she didn't think he'd go easy on her.
"Your right, I don't need them... But that means you don't need these." the girl held up her hands that were holding his silver pistol and his disguise kit.
A little surprised, Spy almost reached out to grab them but stayed professional by accepting the fact that she successfully pickpocket him.
ALICE.
With a smirk Alice threw them behind her, never breaking eye contact with the man. She couldn't help how forward she was feeling, every second she wanted to make a move instead of waiting for the other person to do it. That feeling took over and caused her to push him back so she could properly attack him. The man only smiled as he drew his switch blade. Alice's 'high' kicked in as Spy lunged at her. She merely dodged to the side as the slow-mo man finished his move. He turned and swept his knife across her stomach but she had already stepped back avoiding the action. Alice smiled, she was having fun playing with him, no wonder he'd always do it to her, because it was exhilarating.
Spy grunted and made another slash attempting to strike Alice's neck. She reacted in a way that surprised both him and her. Alice's hand gripped the blade, the inside of her palm stinging as it cut into her. She could feel the back of her hand against her neck, the poor flesh trying to protect the much more delicate important flesh. Alice was smiling, she didn't know why, maybe it had to do with the surprised look on Spy's face or maybe it was just a reaction from the pain. Something tugged at her just telling her to keep going, it wasn't bad but it was powerful and started to consume her. It finally pushed her to fully grab Spy's blade and rip it from his hand. This made him step back recuperating what happened and what to do next.
Alice stood before him still smiling. She dropped the switch blade and triggered her claws to shoot out. "My turn."
BLU SPY.
Spy was too shocked by the change in this girl. She dodged all his attacks and caught his blade with her bare hand. No one has ever done that, let alone catch a fucking knife. But Spy wouldn't dare let her see how unprepared he felt. So he stood his ground and prepared for the worst.
ALICE.
She was quickly in front of him as she swiped her hand across his face. The man stepped back just in time to only receive a slight scratch on the cheek. Alice followed this up with another quick swipe across his face but with her other hand. This time it scratched him deeper. She then did a round house kick releasing the blade in her boot mid-spin.
The blade sliced through his chest, ripping his suit and cutting his flesh. It was just deep enough to keep him alive but in pain.
BLU SPY.
Spy bumped into the wall behind him. Dead end. He watched as Alice stood before him deciphering his end. He could feel the blood from his chest pool out, ruining his suit no doubt. The pain didn't bother him but the wait for execution did.
"Are you going to kill me or do I ave to do it myself." He spoke trying to remain nonchalant.
"Don't worry I'm getting to it." She slyly reassured the Spy while walking towards him.
ALICE.
As she came closer to him, her claws retracted and so did her boot blade.
"Now I know why you toy with people." Alice smirked pressing her body against his. She was up against him so close that she could feel the blood from his chest soaking her shirt. "Because it's fun..." Her voice was taunting and playful as her chest pressed further against his. "...The pure thrill of being untouchable..." Her hands traveled up to his neck and her fingers pushed lightly against the fabric containing his delicate skin. "... and knowing you can take down your victim whenever you want." Her voice came out in an inspirational quiet whisper.
Spy stood still, sandwiched between the wall and Alice. He couldn't help but feel his cheeks burn as the mounds of flesh pressed against his chest. Never in his life has he flustered over something so vaguely erotic. But the way he felt helpless as she pinned him and the way her tone was so slow and seductive. It was all so new because it had never happened before.
She was now up in his face. "Is that why you toy with your victims?" the words came out slowly as her lips nearly brushed against his.
Spy looked at her eyes; they were still soft but with an edge to them. He swallowed the lump in his throat and spoke. "Oui..." he wanted to sound affirmative but it came out quiet and breathless.
ALICE.
The devilish smile appeared on her face as she pinned him. He had lost so much blood she thought it was time to end it. Alice slowly leaned up to his face. Spy stayed still not committing to or backing away from anything that happened. She then pressed the tops of both her wrists against his collar bone releasing all ten claws. Her fingers that used to be pushed against his neck were now puncturing the delicate flesh causing blood to squirt out wherever it could escape. Alice took her vision off his lips and glanced at his eyes; they were slightly surprised by the pain but they seemed like they were or used to be relaxed. She ripped her hands away from his neck letting him bleed out.
'clink'
The sound of hollow metal hitting the ground caught Alice off guard. She spun around to see the RED Scout gawking at her; jaw dropped and eyes wide. At first Alice smiled thinking he was surprised at her gruesome kill then she realised his astonishment seemed a little awkward. What was so weird about her killing Spy? Unless-
"Wha-what the hell was that crap?" Scout sternly uttered still staring wide eyed at the blood covered girl.
Alice's answer depended on how much he saw so a quick question was in order. "Uh, What...crap?" She attempted looking like nothing was wrong but it came out looking as if she was nervous.
"Th-that! That whole... thing!?" His words were stubbing as he was still trying to build the sentence.
That wasn't a very specific answer so it still wasn't safe for her to answer. "What? Me killing him?" Alice asked adding a humorous tone.
Scout's eyes went even wider, he scowled then grunted. "Listen, you gotta tell me what just happened or-... Or I'm never talking to ya again." He stared her down with wide eyes that were hinting for an answer.
Alice was a little stunned by this. Why was this so important to him? Would he really stop talking to her? No... He wouldn't do that, he must be bluffing. "I killed the Spy with my new claws... And that's it." Alice lied testing the thin ice.
Scouts eyes weren't wide anymore; they were shrunk by the very vague subtle sneer he made followed by a slight shake of his head. With that he picked up his bat and walked right past Alice without looking or acknowledging her.
The metaphorical thin ice broke beneath Alice. *Why is he so pissy? Sure I lied to his face but everybody does that.* Alice felt the turn in her stomach, she was feeling guilty. Why is he overreacting about this?
"Victory!" the low excited growl of the announcer cut Alice's thoughts short.
A.N: OOOOOO drama! (not really) Well more to come :D!
