Chapter 35
Forgiveness
Three days have passed since the fall of beacon and Reese was laying on the ground waiting and monitoring the Atlas military frequencies.
"Any breaks yet?" Reese asks.
"Negative. The only thing that is new is that Winter is here." Patty says.
"She must be here to help with the cleanup and security duties." Reese says.
"When are we going to move out?" Patty asks.
"Well we can't wait for them to clear out I'm running out of food and water, so we gotta get out of here." Reese says.
"What do you want me to do?" Patty asks.
"Make some noise." Reese says as he puts on his helmet.
Part then commenced making noise.
"All Atlas forces there is a hostile unit in black armor running amok." Patty says while broadcasting on all frequencies.
Reese then blew a hole in the door and rode his motorcycle out the door.
Reese then took out his retractable military stick and started hitting the targets non lethal, of course.
"What is your objective?" Patty asks.
"To make Winter come out." Reese says as he continues to hit Atlas forces.
"Delta 1 what is the description of the tango?" Someone asks.
"Tango is on a motorcycle and is wearing black body armor." Delta 1 says.
"Can you take him down?" Command says.
"Negative he is moving to… WHACK!" Delta 1 was about to say.
"Delta 1 what's wrong? Come in Delta 1 ." Command says.
Silence on the radio then a new voice came on.
"This is Hunter 1-2 here calling for Cap Winter is she there?" Reese asks.
Reese's code name was hunter 1-2 when he was dispatched on covert missions but he never got to use it.
The guy behind the radio then handed the head set to Winter.
"Winter here." Winter says.
"Hello mom." Reese says.
Just then Winters blood ran cold.
"What do you want Reese?" Winter asks.
"I want to talk to you. Meet me at the outskirts of beacon in an hour and we will chat. Come alone." Reese says as he drops the radio.
"Clear out the forces around beacon. I'm going alone." Winter says as she hooks her weapon on her hip.
"Should we get an escort for you?" Someone asks.
"No I'm going alone." Winter says.
"But there are grimm out there you'll be torn to shreds." Someone said.
"I think I'll be fine." Winter says as she leaves.
An hour later.
Winter was now walking down the street keeping an eye out for threats, but from the looks of it lots of grimm were killed by Reese.
"Good work Reese." Winter says as she looks around.
It was quiet not a single grimm was in sight, Winter then looked down at her scroll and checked the coordinates.
"Where are you? I know you're out here." Winter says as she looks around.
Just then she heard an audible thump from behind her. Winter then turned around to see Reese in his armor and he was wearing a red cloak with a hood covering the helmet, she could see his weapons but his hands weren't on them, but nonetheless she kept her hands near hers.
Reese then walked forward keeping his head down so he can see her hands but not her face.
Reese then stopped right in front of Winter and looked right at her. For Winter she was slightly intimidated by the red visor on the helmet, she has often wondered what the last thoughts of the unfortunate target was thinking when they saw this guy in the armor, that is if they got to see them in the first place.
"What do you want Reese?" Winter asks.
Reese then reached up and took off his helmet and placed it on his side.
"You trained me to be used as a tool for war, not to understand my feelings and right now I want to talk about my feelings." Reese says.
"Where do you want to start?" Winter asks.
"Well first I want to really know if you are my mother." Reese says.
"Yes I am. Here is the evidence." Winter says as she hands over her scroll.
Reese then took it and walked over to a nearby bench where he signaled to Winter to come over.
Winter then sat down and saw he was on the set of pictures of when he was one year old.
"What was I like?" Reese asks.
"Like any other child noisy, stinky, and always hungry." Winter says.
"Hunnnn?" Reese says while giving Winter an odd look.
Then she put her arm around Reese and held him close.
"But at the same time you were the best thing that has happened to me. For the five years I had you I would consider them to be the best time of my life." Winter says with a smile.
"Really?" Reese asks.
"Really here let me show you my favorite picture." Winter says.
Reese then watched Winter look through her pictures and she stopped on one where he saw her holding him after he went to sleep and she was laying right next to him.
"How old?" Reese asks.
"You were about two and a half. I couldn't own a place for you to sleep. I had to share my room with you. And frankly I liked it that way." Winter says with a smile.
"Why can't I remember this?" Reese asks.
"Like I said the first time Atlas military got your mind wiped, and they replaced them with absolute obedience to Atlas." Winter says.
"But it looks like I didn't get the memo." Reese says.
"And you're right. While you were getting "reprogrammed" I would sneak in and change your obedience to listen to me and someone else." Winter says.
"And who is the someone else?" Reese asks.
"Someone who loves you unconditionally." Winter says.
Reese then looks down and thinks but he didn't get to think for long, because he heard something move.
Reese then jumped up from the bench and drew his handgun and fired.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Just then Winter watched a body fall and then found herself looking at an angry Reese.
"I told you to come alone." Reese says.
"And I did but someone decided to disobey me." Winter says with a calm look.
"Humm." Reese says.
"Well it looks like our time is up. I have to tell you this Ironwood has ordered the kill/capture for you so here are my orders." Winter says as she walked up to Reese.
"And they are?" Reese asks.
Winter then hugs Reese and whispers in his ear.
"Run my son run evade do what is necessary to stay alive." Winter orders.
"Understood." Reese says as he backs off.
"Now go I'm giving you a 30 minute head start to start running." Winter says.
Reese then turned and ran back to his bike and started the engine and got going.
As soon as he was out of view Winter felt sadness.
"Love you Reese I'll be watching you." Winter says as she goes back to her tent.
Reese then went back to his hideout and started to think of what he is going to do next.
"So we are on our own. What are we going to do?" Patty asks.
"Find Yang and get the team back together and fight this new threat head on." Reese says as he puts his helmet back on.
