Chapter 21 Conflicted Existence

Abel's Dream World

-Insert Music: Battlefield 1 Apocalypse OST-

Abel awoke again in his dream world, he was wearing the British standard uniform from world war 1, but he was covered in mud and grime, and had dried up blood on his hands and face. He looked around for any signs of life, but was greeted by a bleak sight, dead trees with no branches stuck out of the black, tar like, mud. Old destroyed tanks and artillery canons left to rust to time. And the sky was a dark grey overhead, but in the distance it was crimson orange from fires. Abel sighed at the world in front of him, the sad landscape and the reflection of himself in the mud.

This was his home, a world of conflict, and Abel despised it for existing. His thoughts where cut short when he heard a woman screaming in the distance, Abel ran to the location and found a German soldier with a gas mask choking a woman, the woman was already motionless, so the soldier dropped her and ran away. Abel chased after him, but couldn't find him "Dammit!" Abel yelled to the sky. He went to check on the woman but stopped midway and fell back "W...w...What..?... H..how!...l.. Lena!?" The woman in front of him was Lena Oxton, or was, her lifeless eyes stared at Abel's direction as Abel scrambled backwards into a tree.

Abel heard another scream, some gunfire then silence, this one sounded abit higher pitched, Abel pulled out his riffle and ran after the noise, another scream, this time a man's voice. then silence. He arrived and found Amèlie hanging from a nose and 76 with his head on a steak, Abel covered his mouth as he stared at his dead friends, he felt like crying but it was subdued by boiling hot rage. He could hear men screaming for help and firing, then silence. Abel hurried to keep up, but he found Lucio, Jamison, Mako, Genji, Winston, and Reinhardt all in a trench, burning alive as they let their final breath out and died.

Abel wanted to vomit, he wanted to curl into the fetal position and cry, but he forced himself to run. He arrived to the soldier, he was running away from him and passed Brigitte, Sombra, Moira, and Angela. Abel was about to reach them, about to save them, when he heard a boom in the distance, an artillery shell was just fired, and it hit the women dead on. Abel flew through some dead trees as the shell sent him flying back. When Abel looked back up, all he saw was a pile of misshapen meat and bone, Abel fell to his knees and puked, he couldn't stomach the sight.

"ABEL!" Yelled a familiar voice, it was a voice he grew to know well, it belonged to a young Korean gamer he loved dearly. Abel ran like hell after her and found her holding the enemy back. Abel pulled his riffle up, aimed and fired, but the man let himself fall back and the bullet hit Hana right in the side of her head. Abel dropped his gun and ran to Hana as she fell, he caught her and begged "Dear god... No... Please no! Hana! Don't die! DON'T DIE!" it was all in vain, she was lifeless, and Abel was to blame.

"Tsk tsk tsk... How unfortunate... All you wanted was to help.." Said the man as he removed his helmet and looked at Abel. Abel tried to move, but the man reached for Abel and a black Substance kept Abel from moving. Abel struggled as the man took his gas mask off, then smirked at Abel. Abel went silent as he stared at the man, he looked identical to him, except with pitch black eyes. This Evil Abel sighed and spoke in a cold, yet cheery tone "Surprised? We have been together for so long and you still don't know me. Now that just breaks my heart.." Abel was gritting his teeth as he stared at this fake.

"W..why... They are our-" Abel was cut off by his doppelganger "Because why the absolute fuck not?! It's what we are made for Abel! We are so powerful and nothing can rival us! Just them! They hold us back! We, you and me, can be god." Abel stared at the madman in front of him, he struggled more to get up, making the doppelganger sigh.

"Abel! Where are you!?" Yelled the last voice he remembered, it was his guardian Angel, the person every man looked up to, the woman who greeted him before anyone else, Ana. The fake Abel grinned as he took his coat off and picked up his German helmet. The face made some substance cover Abel's mouth as he put the coat on him, then the gas mask and helmet, while the fake was butting on the Brodie helmet and a British trench coat. Abel shook his head as the fake started screaming like a maniac and firing at the sky.

Ana hurried to the fake Abel and saw him fall to the ground. She caught him and spoke "No no no, please be okay..." the fake nodded at Ana, making her sigh in relief, however the fake pointed at the Real Abel, making Ana's relieved face go deadly furious. As soon as the fake was out of Ana's sight, did he pull out a bayonet and tackle Ana down, Abel struggled so hard that the substance was cutting into him, but it was in vain, he watched as the fake slit Ana's throat and let the blood squirt out.

Ana struggled on the ground until she finally stopped moving. The fake sighed and smiled at Abel, saying "Now then... I showed you how to kill them... Now go on and do it... It's what we are..." Abel was looking down, making thr fake groan "Wanna hear Poetry? Its a true fact.. Ahem..." the fake cleared his throat ans said " In the end, there will be no one left. We are no longer innocent, we are lost from this world, from home. We no longer believe in such things. We only believe in war."

The fake let go of Abel and watched him cry in the mud, between sobs Abel asked "Who are you?" The fake smiled and replied with "I am you... I am the need to kill.. I am what makes you such a prefect killing weapon... " After that, the fake shot Abel in the head.

RAINBOW Base - Doc's Laboratory 11:42 PM

Abel shot up out of bed and fell off, he was breathing heavily and covered in cold sweat, his tears where streaming down his cheeks as he could remember the dream clearly, the dead bodies of his friends, the war zone, the doppelganger, everything. He sat in the floor hugging his knees, entering a conflicted, and unstable discussion with himself.

RAINBOW Base - Surveillance Room

IQ and Dokkaebi both sat in the surveillance room bored to hell, they where assigned for the nocturnal shift to watch the young man, and they hated it. "Well... This is new." said IQ as she zoomed in on Abel sitting on the ground and asked Dokkaebi "Are night terrors in his psychological profile?" Dokkaebi looked and shook her head and answered "No, must have had a nightmare. Men have them all the time after their first battle."

IQ raised a brow to her Korean friend and asked "And you know about men's personal problems how?" Dokkaebi simply responded by holding up her Ballistic Armored Laptop to IQ smugly. IQ rolled her eyes and turned as the door opened, revealing Doc holding a 3 mugs of coffee and ask "Anything ladies?" Both women eyed the monitor as they took a mug from Doc.

Doc looked at the young man and sighed "PTSD" He sad flatly as he took a sip from his coffee, and added "He was already diagnosed with Clinical Depression and now add this to the list and you have a nasty case of an emotionally unstable killer." IQ frowned at rhe good doctor as he took a seat besides the women.

Portsmouth Hospital - 1 AM

Winston arrived as soon as he could after receiving the emergency signal from Lena's Chronal Accelerator being destroyed and Amèlie, he arrived to find Lena in a containment cell and Sombra unconscious and hooked to a life support machine. Amèlie walked up to the gorilla and spoke in a apologetic tone "Sorry... I couldn't do much.." Winston just patted her back and gave her a nod before entering Lena's containment cell, holding a new Chronal Accelerator, making Lena smile and stay still while he mounted it onto her.

"Where is Abel? I haven't seen him." Asked Winston, making Lena raise a brow and state "I thought you knew." Both members looked at Amèlie, the French woman was looking at the ground and answered their question "He was... Kidnapped... But not by talon." Now Winston was worried, and so was Lena, however Amèlie added "Thankfully i shot a tracker onto their transport, it landed at Herefordshire England, at some old Military base."

Winston looked at the base and thumbed his ear piece "Athena, get me any information on this base." Lena finally took her first step on solid ground and sighed, she hated the feeling of being between different times in space, it made her feel alone. Lena stared at the image of the base and balled her hand to a fist. Amèlie looked at Lena and added "... He lost it again... But this time... He did something strange..." both Overwatch members looked and listened to Amèlie's explanation of the fight, leaving both speechless.

Winston broke the silence by stating "So he is able to manipulate Substance in real time and from a distance... And he seems to get more unstable with each fight." Amèlie nodded solemnly at the gorilla, making Lena frown and leave the room, zip out to the hospital's roof and scream at the night sky. Winston sighed and told Amèlie "Good work, now rest... Tomorrow will be a long day... And be ready, everyone is coming." Amèlie nodded and went into an empty room and prepared for sleep, and Winston went to the roof to find a crying Lena Oxton sprwaled on the floor.

Winston walked up to Lena and spoke in a soft tone "Don't worry Lena, it's not your fault, he knew what he was doing and made his choi-" He was cut off by Lena screaming "I SENT HIM TO THAT HELL! I could have sent him to some other beach, or even kept him here in the mainland! But no! For Kind and bloody Country! Hell of a cheeky lass i am! I SHAGGED HIM YESTERDAY AND NOW HE COULD BE GETTING DISSECTED!" Lena quickly covered her mouth after saying those last statements, leaving Winston awkwardly silent.

Winston stared down at the British woman and asked "You... You and him..?" Lena responded with an awkward nod, making the gorilla facepalm and sit next to her. "Look Lena, i won't tell you how to live your life. But consider what you just did, you had sex with an emotionally unstable man before a battle where you would also be partaking in combat." Said Winston calmly as he cleaned his glasses. Lena responded with "I know...! But it just... Happened. We talked that evening and one thing led to another... All i know that came out of that right now is that we both lost our virginity and that he tried to kill Doomfist because of his bond with me."

Winston was glad to know that Lena knew what her actions caused, and patted her back, adding "Then prove you will go just as far for him Lena, but remember, Hana is still his girlfriend, and that will be something you will need to solve." Winston stood up and left Lena to recompose and think things through.

Another chapter within 24 hours, can i pump out 3 withing 24 hours? Doubt it, i am so sleepy that i might sleep in tomorrow morning just because yes. Showed what Abel's ¨Rage¨ is doing to him internally, cause i do believe that if you give someone power, that it will fuck them up one way or another. Now afew of you do like the idea of Overwatch and Rainbow Six crossing. But only the weekend will say if it's genius, or if i just fucked up.

Akana45: Watch the hostage

Answer:What hostage? xD Can't kill a hostage if he's already dead.

Depositaire's Review: Team Rainbow?

I know i already told you this, but now for the world to also hear it, so here it goes:

Team Rainbow is the main line anti-terrorist group from Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. These characters (Or Operators as they are called in game, and here on the fic too) are the best in urban warfare, from simple double agent police officers and doctors, to navy seals against drug traffic. (There are women in the team, if you want to know them in more detail google them or watch TheRussianBadger's YouTube channel, he has covered each operator and explained them in a nutshell, plus the comedy is just great.)

Getting that out of the way, i have been getting suggestions to add more people via crossovers, how ever, the problem i have is that Overwatch set a premise and lore that is kinda outlandish (to say the least) and that brings some gaps i need to fill out. While that would be easy, in Overwatch the world is in a massive state of terrorism and crime, so adding more outlandish characters ((Like from TF2((Adore that game)) or something ridiculous like League of Legends)) would bring more chaos. So i started thinking, characters that fall into this category. And Rainbow Six has just that, they are not heroes, but they also are qualified for the things occurring in the world of Overwatch.

They are capable of sliding into this world for the simple act of Terrorism that is happening. Now i will sin here and burn on Overwatch, but i doubt that the whole world is capable of being at peace with just 30(ish) people watching over it. (counting Athena, Emily ((Who will appear soon)) and Snowball)

So all in all, these new characters that are gonna be introduced to the fic are kinda ment to be the middle ground here, not Canon faughter and not heroes.

I hope i explained this well, if you have any doubts, ask.

Now before i go, let's talk feedback, i need to hear your thoughts on what i'm doing, cause like i said, could have just done something great, or just fucked myself over, so please don't be afraid to criticize, say your opinion, or just burn on me.

Like always, i'm still in the trenches, and hope you enjoyed.
