The group of heroes are currently in the planning room. It was dark, with the only light coming from the holographic table they surrounded.
"A Talon defector and his team are currently using a abandoned hotel as their base. A Mr. Dubhghaill, has information regarding hidden Talon warehouses full of supplies and weapons. It's critical we get him out of there alive so we can find and destroy them. Doing this will greatly reduce Talon's firepower and their ability to carryout any sort of attack, at least for a while." 76 explained as a holograph of the hotel was displayed. It's name, The Lumimyrsky, sat on top in big, broken, and non-functioning(turned off) letters. It was 50 stories tall, and a large chunk of it was missing from the upper left, front side.
"Are you leading this OP Jack?" Winston asked.
"No. My and Gabe's time for leading is over."
"So who's leading?" Genji questioned. 76 and Reaper looked at each other before nodding.
"We've decided that Assassin will be leading this time." Reyes informed, shocking the entire team, and no one was more shocked than the one in question.
"Is Assassin gay, old man code for space gorilla?"
"A: not funny and B: no. We've seen how you are in the field. Smart, cunning, fierce. You have a plan for everything thought out and than some." 76 explained. Everyone ended up nodding in agreement, it actually made great sense. Assassin was great on his own, but can you imagine if he was leading a team?
"I think it's a great idea." Tracer commented, the first of the team to finally agree, well vocally anyway.
"What?"
"Well, yeah, it makes sense. You've saved a lot of our lives in the field. You're a great fighter, am you'll make a great leader." Tracer blushed after saying that. It also made Assassin flush from the praise, making him look away to hide it.
"Fine, fine, fine, I'll do it. I'll be ready to ship out in five mikes."
"Oh no Assassin, you're not going in alone. You'll pick five others and lead the team into the city. The rest of us will be on standby incase you need help." 76 informed.
"But it's more fun if I go alone." He groaned.
"We don't care kid. Now we know it'll take a while to think of a good team, so we'll leave you so you can thi-"
"Lucio, Pharah, Hanzo, Mercy, and Reinhardt." Assassin listed, cutting off Reyes off. Reyes crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, grumbling under his breath about how disrespectful Assassin was. 76 chuckled at that.
"Ok, you gave your team. Everyone else, please leave. We need to come up with a plan." 76 informed.
The team either nodded or grunted in acknowledgement, before walking out the door. Tracer was the last one out, but she casted a glance back before leaving. Her eyes met Assassins, and she blushed when he winked. She finally left, and the door swished closed behind her.
"Now, onto business." Reaper grunted, before the holographic hotel turned into a city. It showed Detroit, to be more specific. "The hotel is on the northern side of the city, by the sea. Now we know there'll be Talon agents on the ground hunting down the defector. We need a plan to not only get him out, but to be discrete about-"
"We'll enter through the southern side, aka the slums." Assassin stated, cutting Reyes off again while enlarging the south side with his hands. Doing this showed large, multiple rows of houses. "There are a large number of abandoned homes here. Some Talon grunts are probably using these homes as temporary bases until the defector is dead. We'll go through and if there are any, we flush them out. Then we'll move into the inner city. Things will get harrier the closer we get." He moved the holograph to show the inner city, this is when the bigger buildings, like office buildings and skyscrapers, came into view.
"Tall buildings, next to each other, it's a snipers wet dream. This is where you come in dragon boy." Hanzo grunted but had a small smile from the nickname, or the job...Assassin didn't know which. "You'll take care of the snipers and make sure the skies are clear for Pharah and Mercy. Pharmercy, you'll take care of any vehicles or grouped enemies. If you're taking too much damage or Pharah's jetpack is running low, land on the rooftop and heal or charge. Mercy, I also want you to heal Hanzo if he's getting hurt. Lucio will take too long and I don't want him jumping from a skyscraper. Questions?"
"Pharmercy?" The two questioned in sync.
"Shipping name I came up with. Anyway-" The two blushed at that. "That'll leave me, Lucio, and Rein. We'll clean up the stragglers and make them retreat. Once we make it to the hotel, we'll make our way up the floors one by one and take any of them out. Once we find the defector, we'll retreat to the docks. There we'll use a boat as a decoy and escape via ship. Any questions?" No one spoke or raised their hands, which made Assassin smirk. "Good. Gear up snd get ready to ship out, I want to be outta here in 10 mikes."
The heroes nodded and exited the room, psyching themselves up for the mission that was to come. 76 and Reaper, however, stayed behind.
"See? Told you he was the right choice." 76 stated with a smirk. Reaper merely grunted.
"We'll see, amante."
