(A/N: Hey Everyone, hope you enjoy this one! As usual, Overwatch belongs to Blizzard Entertainment)
The Next Day - 8:00 AM - Hokuto Street
After finishing another plate of my mothers scrumptious pancakes (which were DESPERATELY missed whilst in Japan), I head on outside and meet up with Lena at her place, Hana catching up to us a few minutes later.
Lena however, was standing against her wall, arms crossed with a sincerely indifferent look on her face.
"Alright loves, you got some explainin' to do." She say, her British accent unmistakably flowing through the air. Hana and I looked at each other and simultaneously sighed.
"Where do we even start…" I ask in a dejected tone. There's a moment of an awkward silence, but as I begin to open my mouth to explain, Lena bursts into her trademark laughter.
"Gotcha there didn't I Jonathan?!" she says, continuing to laugh apparently at my expense. Her laughter soon turns to excitement tough.
"But who would even think that the REAL D. Va was in our little town!?" Exclaims Lena, holding onto Hana's arm, causing her to blush slightly.
"I-it isn't a b-big deal…" says the timid as ever Hana.
"It is! I can't believe that I actually played a video game with you too! AND I WAS CLOSE TO BEATIN' YOU AAHH!" Lena says having a mini-fan freak out. I'm surprised she didn't text me this reaction of hers sooner. We began to walk forward, and as we approached the academy, we caught up with Fareeha from our class, and headed in together.
8:45 AM - McCree's Classroom, Royal Winstonian Academy
We arrived in 15 minutes before class started and sat down in the usual spot near where Angela was. Hana's seat however, was moved to my left and Lena's was pushed one to the right, leaving an empty space in between Lena and myself.
"Oh yeah, I'm gonna be lookin' after the new student who's starting today. It doesn't feel like that long ago that D. Va over there joined us." she says with a wink at Hana, who stuck her tongue out as if to say 'haha, so funny'. Angela poked her head up out of her book at the mentioning of the live-streamer's name.
"Ohh? Hana is the mysterious D. Va? And how did you figure that one out, dear Lena?" says Angela with a sarcastic tone, although we all knew she meant the "dear" in 'dear Lena'.
"She showed 'er face last night on her LiveStream, and she even gave Jonathan a kiss too on the air!" Angela gives me that annoyed mother look she's been giving me for the last few years whenever I end up doing something 'morally questionable' and shakes her head, dismissing it entirely.
"Well as long as it doesn't create a whole big dramatic outrage with her fans I don't really mind." says Angela. Hana, having not checked her stats since the night before, was now very anxious and quickly pulled out her phone. Her little stunt last night did have an effect on her popularity….
….she gained 4,000 new subscribers, much to her delight. She beamed a big, cute smile at me and mouthed the words 'thank you', looking as cute as she always has. We settle into our seats as McCree walks into the classroom, still wearing that fucking ridiculous hat of his. Of course, I didn't expect anything less.
Right y'all, settle down settle down. Now, I know it's only been a short while since Ms. Song over there joined our ranks, however like I said before our excursion to the Far East, we've got ourselves a new student joining us." Whispers could be heard around the classroom, the usual kind of thing when we get ourselves a new student. Who is she, what's she like, that kinda thing.
"Now, she's from somewhere in France originally, Paris I believe, please come on in an' introduce yerself to our posse here" says McCree, dramatically pointing towards us all, causing some people to groan at his ever present cringe.
However, all went quiet once the new student walked into the room.
She was tall, very tall actually for a woman. Her skin was frighteningly pale, but it had a radiant, beautiful aura to it. Her figure was stunning too, with an incredibly toned lower half. Her long slender legs, perfectly thick thighs and quite large ass made for quite the package, and her top half wasn't bad either, accentuated by her skin tight clothing she was wearing on her top. She was wearing a medium length skirt with black leather tights on her bottom. Her eyes were also entrancing, like Hana's, but in a different way. She stared right as me as she began to introduce herself.
"Bonjour, my name is Amélie Lacroix. That's L-a-c-r-o-i-x. It's a pleasure to meet you all. I hope that we all get along extremely well." she says, smiling at us sweetly.
"Alright Amélie, you sit on down there beside Bigshot and Oxton, she'll be looking after you while you get used to the place" says McCree, pointing vaguely at our direction whilst he scrambles to get a History textbook ready for class. Her whole demeanour was like that of a goddess'. Her walk down the room towards her seat had every eye, minus Hana's, on her. There was something completely ethereal about her. She took her seat between Lena and I, and placed her bag on the ground beside mine.
"Hello there, I suppose your name isn't actually Bigshot?" she says with sarcastic tone in her voice, something that was easy to pick out despite the heavy French accent.
"Yeah haha, my name's Jonathan Cujoh" I say smiling at her. She extends a hand, and I meet it with mine
"I look forward to getting closer to you Mr. Jonathan Cujoh" she says in a tone of voice that D. Va would be proud of.
Keep it together Jonathan. Keep it together. You have Hana.
Amélie turned around to face Lena, who she gave a somewhat less enthusiastic greeting to, despite the fact that they'd be spending some time together because Lena would be Amélie's guide. I turned around to look at Hana, who was staring at Amélie with dead, soulless eyes.
"Uhh, Hana? You okay there?" I whisper as McCree begins class. I try waving my hands in front of her eyes to get her attention. It takes a few seconds, but Hana finally snaps back to reality.
"O-Oh, I'm f-fine. I don't know what to think about the new girl yet though.."
"Leave it until Lunch, she'll probably spend it with us. We'll get a better idea of what she's like then" I say to Hana. She smiles slightly, a bit of worry in her face and nods.
12:00 PM - McCree's Class
"I've been looking forward to this" says the giddy McCree. We all look at the clock and prepare for the cringe.
"It's Hiiiiigh Noooon. Lunch time y'all."
Goddamnit McCree for once just say something different!
Our group arranges our tables the usual way, with Hana and I beside each other, Angela facing Hana and Lena facing me. Of course, our groups dynamic is going to chance from today, as I notice a rather tall woman standing right beside me.
"Excusez-moi, may I sit here?" asks Amélie.
"U-uh, sure" I say with a weird stutter. Hana places her right hand on my left thigh, and I hold it with my left hand ( out of sight from everyone of course). Amélie sits in between Lena and I, and takes out what looks to be a baguette filled with all sorts of meats, cheeses and salads.
"So that must be why you have such a well defined figure…" mentions Angela nonchalantly.
"E-Excuse Angela, she can be quite blunt when it comes to things like that, haha" Lena says scratching the back of her head, nudging Angela in the arm, who didn't respond to her provocation and continued to study.
"Ahh, I see. I've heard of her, the Medical protogeé Angela Ziegler from Switzerland, correct? You're quite famous, despite having never professionally trained." says Amélie, giving Angela the once over with her eyes.
"And who might you be?" she asks, turning her attention to Hana. Hana gulps at the sudden attention shift.
"H-Hana Song, although you might k-know me be-better as D. Va…" she says as timid as ever.
"Ahh yes, you too are also famous, but for playing video games...not as beneficial as what Ms. Ziegler here has done for many people." Again, Amélie comes off quite bluntly. Hana is quite visibly taken aback by what she says. Hana leans into my ear
"Come over to mine today after school" she says in a whisper. I nod my head in agreement.
"So A-Amélie, what do you do in your free time?" asks Lena, nervously trying to lighten the mood however she can.
"I used to do skeet shooting, you know, the sort of stuff you see in the Olympic Games. I play video games every now and then but I'm not into it really. I enjoy reading poetry and cooking though." she shifts her gaze towards me "Maybe I can show you some of my cooking some time" she says, basically addressing me. Hana stands up out of her chair, taking her PS Vita out of her bag.
"Hey, I'm going out to the courtyard, by the tree. You coming?" she asks me, and me alone.
"S-Sure" I say, standing up beside her.
"Aww, but we were just getting to know each other" says Amélie, putting on a playful frown. "Can't he stay a little longer? I'd love to hear more about you Jonathan.." she says, taking my hand lightly into hers. It was cold, but soft to touch, and felt incredibly gentle.
"N-Nah, I think I need the a-air. But L-Lena will give you my contact details, r-right?!" I say as Lena nods furiously in agreement. Hana takes my arm and basically drags me out of the room and out into the courtyard.
"What was all that about?" I ask, sitting down. Hana does the same and turns on her Vita.
"I don't like her. I think she's getting a bit too friendly, plus she was so snobby when it came to me and Angela…" she says with a sincere hiss and ton of disdain in her vocal cords. I've never seen Hana with this kind of anger and hatred inside of her. She may be quick to judge, but I've found that usually Hana's instincts are good to follow.
"Don't mind her, I'm sure she doesn't mean with amlic" I say, putting an arm over her shoulder, pulling her closer to me. She sighs lightly and looks at me, with those damn eyes of hers.
"Jonathan...I know I'm gonna sound crazy but...please don't too close to Amélie…" she says with sincerity in her voice.
"Why?"
"I just don't want to lose you. I could see you looking at her when she walked in, no it wasn't actually looking, it was more like gazing at her, that's a more accurate description actually" she says, thinking about it.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I question.
"Just...please...it's hard for me to explain now but...let's just say it wouldn't end well if you and her got 'too close'" she says with a serious expression, with those same soulless eyes from earlier.
"You're mine and mine only, Jo-na-tha-n" she says, smiling at me, although I was creeped out as her dead eyes stared straight into my soul.
"I love you so much, I'd die if I saw you with someone else…" she says, grabbing onto my arm.
"O-Okay Hana! C-Calm down!" I say, trying to shake her off. Her gaze returns to normal, and she again smiles at me as sweetly as she normally does.
"Good. Let's go back to class then. The next period is about to begin!"
(A/N: And that's a wrap for this chapter! I'm really starting to feel good about this fic now. I have a plan for what I want to do with the future. The things I know for certain are (without spoilers!)
The Ending Chapter(s)
The Romance between Lena and Angela
Fareeha (aka Pharah) will become more involved with the cast, although not for a while
I hope to exceed maybe 30-40 chapters before the ending
Every non-Omnic/Robot playable character from Overwatch will feature at some point in the story, either through being mentioned (as has been done with Ana and Zarya so far), or a minor background character (such as Gabriel (aka Reaper) has been so far)
The ending of the Talon Plot will not be the end of the FanFic
Hope that is enough to satisfy you all for now! Until Next time, where Amélie starts to make her move, in more than one way!)
