My Insane Hero (Junkrat and Story)
It was a long day at Overwatch, everyone was exhausted from their battles throughout the day; but everyone who was part of the blue team was satisfied that their team had the highest score by three hundred points from the red team.
, one of the younger Overwatch members, who was known as one of the best gamers in the world to beat any high score, wasn't feeling too well that day. She wasn't sick, nor was she having her monthly visit yet, she just had a feeling, but she had no idea what caused this feeling ever since she got up that morning.
"You alright, love?" looked to her right, the British beauty Tracer, who was anxiously waiting for the doors to open.
They were having their last battle of the day before going back to their sleeping courters, and everybody in that room, although excited for the final match, was ready for some shut eye.
"Yeah, just not feeling good that's all." smiled down at her so to speak sister. Tracer was about to speak again, before the count down started, and as soon as those doors opened everyone bolted out without a second thought.
Route 66
's head wasn't in the game at that moment, she didn't even bother seeing Reinhardt put a shield in front of everyone so that no one would be harmed, but she accidentally turned her boosters on leading her straight towards the enemy, worst mistake of the day.
What was she thinking?
She was always too smart to do something this stupid, but she got cocky, her team had a higher score than the opposing team, but if she messes up everyone messes up, and she was not going to have that.
She started firing at the red team, who was stationed near or on top of the payload, and was able to get rid of Mei, Torbjorn, and his Turret.
"Ha! That's what happens when you mess with ." She grinned, satisfied that she took down at least two of the enemies surrounding the payload; she was about to hop onto the machine and lead it to the first point by the gas station, until dark smoke appeared behind her.
If only she knew he was near, if only she could have seen him on top of the hill not too far off a few seconds before, she could have been alright, but when she heard that gust of wind behind her, she knew.
She was screwed.
As she was turning to shoot at Reaper, it was too late, he shot off at her without any hesitation.
Without her even thinking about what was happening, especially at her health, she saw the big bold letters show on her Meka screen, ejected out of the machine, and started running. She should have gotten out of there as soon as she knew it was him, she should have, plus she should have stayed with everyone instead of getting so cocky.
"Stupid."
"Stupid."
"Stupid!"
Her health when she didn't have her Meka was very low, only at 150, and at least four shots from Reaper can take her down.
She was vulnerable.
She started running backwards shooting Reaper with her small gun. She could see her teammates not too far and was about to call out to them for backup, even though they were having their own problems with the red team, but she felt a harsh metal bullet go right against her bare side giving her a nasty deep scar, then another shot a few inches below the first one. The impact was so painful it made her fall on her knees and cradle her wounds.
'Darn you, Reaper.' She was trying to crawl away from him to look for any health pack, but the closest one was of course several feet away near the edge of the cliff.
She knew the last bullet was coming, she just hoped to get to the health in time, even though she knew she was a goner.
"I don't think so, mate!" whipped her head around as Junkrat was blocking Reaper from anymore attacks against his girlfriend.
"Junkie." She sighed in relief,
"'Ere's a little present for ya." He shot out a couple of bombs from his makeshift gun as Reaper repeatedly shot at him, then finally threw a bomb disk at Reaper's feet sending Reaper flying and off the course.
looked at the payload they had to move, Bastion was on it as it kept moving forward. Everyone was gathering together around it with Reinhardt protecting Bastion with his shield, while Tracer and Lucio were guarding the sides waiting for anyone to come around any corner.
started to get up and follow them as there was a health pack over where the team was, but she fell to her knees clutching at her ribs again as the scars hurt even more.
She was so focused on Reaper that she didn't even realize how bad her scars hurt. She just had to wear her Junker outfit today didn't she, but the rest of her outfits were in the laundry, so those shots went right to her bare skin.
"Sheila, you alright?" She looked up again, her vision getting foggy, as she saw her boyfriend moving her hand to look at her scars.
"I-I'm fine Junkrat, let's go and finish this." She grinned as Junkrat gave her a warry look, he usually wasn't like this, but ever since they started dating several months ago, he has always made sure she was okay in battle.
"Nah-ah love, we are getting you some health." He picked her up bridal style as he started running as fast as his peg leg would allow, back to the base.
"What about Lucio, he can heal me, that's why we have a healer." She looked back at the team as the enemy came straight back.
"We need to wait for your Meka, you're too weak to go into battle without it?"
"Seriously, I can survive without it for a few minutes." Junkrat paid no mind to her as pouted up at him as he ran up the steps cackling at that face she did so much.
"I can handle myself." She nudged his shoulder,
"Sure, like how I saw ya with Reaper boy over there."
"I was caught off guard." He chuckled,
"What's your Mech on now?" looked down at her watch seeing if it was ready,
"92%" She mumbled out, she wasn't going to protest against Junkrat, she has tried before, but he always succeeds at getting what he wants.
They finally reached the healing part of the base, taking in a gasp of breath as her scars of the bullets closed up and she felt much more healthy.
"Thank you, Junkie." He grinned,
"Anytime, love." He kissed her forehead real quick, before Reinhardt appeared in the room,
"Is the team okay?" quickly asked as she noticed their teams shield has been taken down.
Both of their team's tanks were too far from the fight.
"Not for long, we need to get there quick, or the Red team will have the payload." The Crusader Replied, running towards the door; jumped up on her feet replying with a 'Well what are we waiting for?' as her Meka was finally ready.
She hopped inside, caught up with the other tank, as her and Reinhardt turned on their boosters heading for the payload with an annoyed Junkrat running behind them yelling out, 'wait for me!'
Needless to say, their team won, and even more good news it was Junkrat's turn to get food that night while was able to get a nice warm bubble bath, to sooth her aching muscles and feel at peace, but she knew this peace wouldn't last too long, for when Junkrat came back he was going to have Roadhog with him and it was going to be a loud fiasco.
Even though she loved the man, he could be unbearable to live with sometimes.
She smiled thinking of her boyfriend, he was a hard man not to love, well except if he's your enemy and throwing bombs at you repeatedly.
She sighed, getting out of the tub, rubbing the bubbly water off her skin and wrapping herself up nicely in a warm towel.
She put on her favorite pajamas, a lilac off shoulder crop top, with her bunny logo on the chest, and a black pair of comfortable jogging pants.
looked up as she heard the doorknob fiddling to the entrance of the courters, and in came,
"Honey, I'm home!" She grinned as she finished rubbing her hair kind of dry with a towel and throwing it on the towel holder behind the door.
As she opened the door she only saw Junkrat, no Roadhog?
"Um, where's Roadhog?" She asked confused,
"Ah, he wanted to go walking to have some time to himself, I guess that's alright." He pouted, since he wasn't with his best friend/partner in crime; giggled as he looked so much like a child as he had his bottom lip puckered out.
"Well anyways, I got the food, Sushi for you, BBQ for me." He licked his lips ready to eat. They sat on their shared bed as they were watching cartoons, eating, and enjoying themselves.
When they were done, Junkrat didn't look all that comfortable as he was rubbing his shoulders trying to get out some kinks.
"What's wrong?" asked, walking back as she went to throw their plates away,
"My back, lugging around that tire all day, isn't a satisfying feeling ya' know." She smiled as she patted the bed as if telling him to lay down, which he gladly complied.
She got situated by sitting on her knees and placing both hands against his shoulders, rubbing them tightly as she brought her hands down his spine, hearing pops as Junkrat sighed, satisfied with the massage she gave.
"Thank you, dearie." He sat up stretching himself out, getting the last kinks out from his back.
It was funny when Junkrat stood up to his full height, he was so much taller than you would think, since he slouches all the time you can't see it so well.
He looked at her and noticed something changed in her facial expression, her warm smile changed to a sad look.
"What's wrong?" She looked up startled as if she was in deep thought about something.
"I don't know, I've been feeling kind of weird today for some strange reason." She sat up and got their bed situated, getting ready to crawl in and go to sleep.
"Maybe it's just nerves." He replied chuckling as he crawled in after taking his metal arm and peg leg off.
"You think?" She smiled,
"Maybe, if you want to, you can stay in tomorrow."
"No way, you and Roadhog won't have as much fun then." She put her hands on her hips.
"I think we can manage." He winked, as she stuck her tongue out, just these small conversations with Junkrat left her feeling so happy inside, where she actually forgets what was bothering her.
He stretched an arm out ready for her to crawl in beside him, which she happily did as she took this opportunity to snuggle against him, arms wrapped around his small waist and smelling the scent of fire and BBQ on his body.
"Love you." She kissed his chest,
"Love ya too." He replied lifting her head and placed his mouth against hers.
They shared the night in each-others embrace, until Roadhog came in and they pretended they were asleep.
When they heard him plop on his bed with a loud squeak, and heard his snores, they opened their eyes and looked at each-other giggling, giving one last kiss before drifting off to sleep.
As Roadhog, who wasn't actually asleep, was smiling behind his mask, seeing the two more in love than anything.
