No one in the Overwatch team spoke about the press conference or the incident with Victoria's mother, they were now stationed in Australia at the moment fighting to push back the omnics. Victoria ducked behind Reinhardt as the bastion units released a hail of bullets upon them, her own plasma pistol in hand as she held it up. The bastions had pushed into one of the power plants in Australia killing all the workers inside taking over the power plant.
"Victoria status!" Reyes voice yelled at her down the comms.
"Getting there," she answered.
"Not fast enough Johnson!"
"YES! YES!"
Reinhardt chuckled she put her plasma pistol back in its holster, taking what looked like a baton in to her hand before flicking her wrist out the baton transformed into a plasma whip. "Ready?" She asked Reinhardt.
"My shield will not hold out much longer Victoria," he told her.
"ON IT!" She told him clicking her heels together before running out from behind Reinthards shield, the bastion fire followed her as she skirted around the group of Bastions her boots has been modified after some talking with the scientists her fighting was more fast based give her a speed boost, so they added jets to her boots boosting her into them. She flicked her wrist out sending the whip into the group of basitons watching it wrap around one neck she crouched down before pushing herself up into the air springing up in the air. Kicking her legs out as she flipped over the bastions.
The bastion was forced back the plasma ripping through its circuits its head rolled across the floor, "REINHARDT NOW!" She yelled distracting them long enough for him to break out into the clearing slamming his hammer down into the crowd of Bastions. He swung the hammer round catching them all sending them flying across the room sending them slamming into the wall breaking them.
"Clear down west hallway," Victoria breathed, she heard the whirling sound of the bastions coming down, two hallways leading into the large room one behind them one in front and behind them.
Victoria sprinted down the hall way slamming her boots into the floor as she sped off down the hallway Reinhardt following closely behind as she rounded the corner another group of Bastions were coming towards them. They stopped shifting forms, not long three seconds she thought as she sprinted forward she slammed her body into the bastion. The clunky thing whirled around as it slammed into the ground as she put two plasma shots through its head. She flicked the whip out wrapping round one of the turret barrels of the Bastion a familiar blue film of Reinthards shield covered her face as the bastion ripped the whip down tearing through the barrel of the gun pulling out the gun and shooting it at point blank.
Reinhardt turned slamming his hammer into the last bastion watching it crumble to the ground, "You are to reckless Victoria," he told her.
"Sorry, didn't think it will be that many," She laughed.
"If you two are done," Reyes stated, "We need help in the main control room!"
"On it," Victoria replied, "West rooms are cleared."
Reinhardt and Victoria moved through the hallway both on high alert, "You are doing well Victoria," he told her as they continued down the hallway picking up there pace as they heard the fighting grow louder, they broke out onto one of the walk ways in the main command unit. Next to Torbijion who was building his turret, Victoria jumped down landing on top of one the bastion units her jet boots crushing his head. Pressing her hands down onto the remaining of the bastion swinging her legs out in a carousel motion her jet boots making her go round like a spinning top slamming into the bastion units around them.
She ducked and rolled into the centre of the battle throwing her whip out in front of her catching the bastion until by the gun sending it back a step as Gabriel filled the robot full of shotgun rounds. "Nice of you two to join us," he growled next to her as she flipped to the pistol turning round and firing into the bastion that Jack was firing at.
"In my defence," She argued bouncing up into the air pushing herself forward and round the back of the bastions shooting into them from behind as it went to turn its head came clear off from a shot from Ana. Something pricked her in the arm before a bit more lively, "Thanks Ana, anyway..." she slid under the bastions turret as it switched to secondary form slamming her leg up into the metal turret throwing it to the side, "You told us to clear out the rest of the bastions around here."
"Does not mean you can get lot for half an hour," he snapped at her.
Victoria bounced up onto her feet jumping up tucking her legs into her chest before slamming them onto the bastion springing off them, "Alright stop shouting at me ok!"
"Reyes," Jack warned over the comms, she just noticed he wasn't here as she bounced slightly over Reinthards hammer slammed into the ground next to her.
"Jack were are you?" Gabriel asked over the Comms as he slammed the shotgun into the bastion units head knocking it down.
"On my way, they seem to be slowing down," he told them.
"MY TURRET!" Torijion yelled.
"FALL BACK!" Reyes ordered him, "Victoria."
"On it!" She responsed, running up under the walk way and wall jumping up onto the bottom of the walkway as the bastion clunked after Torbjion she heard the firing of Torbjions gun she swung herself up onto the walkway charging after him she jumped going vertically across the walkway slamming her shoes into the bastion sending it flying over the edge. It then fell silent as Victoria helped Torbjion to his feet watching him scurry around picking up scraps.
"We all clear?" Gabriel asked.
"Clear," Ana told him.
"Clear on my end," Victoria smiled jumping back down stepping over the bastions remains rubbing her legs tapping her heels turning off the jet boosts.
"Morrision, Liao," Gabriel called over the comms, "You two better cleared everything up."
"No need to shout Gabriel," Jack laughed stepping into the main comms room, "We passed the main power room they seem to be all grouped up in there, the rest of the power plant seems to be cleared Commander."
"Good we have been here for twelve hours now, this is not the main fight and this is getting ridiculous," Gabriel huffed.
Ana stepped down from her high perch landing next to Reyes, "How are we all?"
A collective round of fines went through out it all, Victoria holstered both weapons loosening the armour of her legs rubbing the skin through the leather trousers. "You alright?" Jack asked her coming up on her side.
"Yes!" Reinhardt yelled, "The lil lady did brilliantly against the bastions, every faster movements and the weapons they have given her seem to work well."
Victoria ducked her head blushing, "shall we get a move on?" She asked.
"Yes," Torbjion yelled, "The sooner we finish the onmic scum the sooner we can get back to the real fight."
"Yes, yes," Reyes huffed as he holstered his shot guns, "We need to get this power plant secured for the army to come in and I feel like all we have done is run round like headless chickens for the last half day."
"Gabriel we have all been pushing hard," Jack told him smiling as he watched Victoria lace up the armour on her boots, "We are doing well we have pushed the remaining ones back now this place was swarming with omnics for a ten mile radius as well."
"They seem to be getting clever realising what the people need to survive and trying to take those points out," Ana sighed.
"We created them remember," Laio stated, "They now us well."
"Look it has been twelve hours, I want to go back to the hotel and have a hot bath. Now get back out there and win this fight," Ana told them.
Gabriel chuckled shaking his head as they walked out the comms room heading towards the centre of the power plant, Victoria was buzzing with energy as she walked beside them. Reyes was impressed this was her first time on the batte field she was doing well.
"Reinhardt support Torbjion to set his turret up on the top level," Jack told him, "Would be best for Ana to have close range support on the second level till she is settled on the level whilst we go in from the bottom level don't you agree Captain?"
Gabriel nodded watching as the four others spilt as they came to the centre building, stepping over the broken bastion parts as they went. "Reyes how is it going in there?" Secretary Generals voice filled his ear.
"Fine Ma'am," He replied signalling too the four who were standing at the doors on the upper levels that it was clear for them to go in.
"How much longer..."
Anas voice cut the woman off, "REYES ANY TIME NOW!"
"SON OF A-" Victoria yelled.
"In a moment Secretary General, in you two now!" Gabriel ordered the two of them.
"Reyes I expect results and soon!"
Gabriel ignored the Secretary General as they crashed through the door guns blazing Reinhardt and Victoria both jumped into the frey Victoria's whip flicked out in front of him knocking the aim of one the bastions off whilst Reinhardts hammer swing threw a group of the bastions into the wall. This was there final push for the night once this was done they will then join the rest of the fight in the Australian out backs. With both shot guns in hand her walked forward shooting out in front of him hitting the bastions in his way.
"TANK!" Torbjion yelled out as they heard the bastions shift into there third form.
"REINHARDT!" Jack shouted.
"I AM ON IT!" He yelled back.
White noises filled his ears as he ran into the centre shooting the shoot guns out around him in a circle, taking down three Bastions in doing so. "REYES!" Victoria yelled barrelling into his side throwing him to the ground as one of the cannon shots hit were he was originally standing sending both him and Victoria up in the air.
The cracking sound of them landing on the ground was hard, Victoria's groan was soft as Reyes reached for the and rapid fired into the oncoming Bastion. He lent over the blonde pressing fingers to her pulse feeling it still there but her eyes were distant. "Victoria's down and we are not..."
"PUSH!" Liao yelled slicing clean through the turret of the bastion unit both cutting off the robotic head.
Reyes stood over Victoria on the other side of the fight unloading bullet after bullet into the Bastion unit, they were dwindling slowly trickling out but it was like the omnics knew they were loosing as they started to push harder against them. Reinhardt slammed his hammer down onto the floor, he felt the ground under his feet shake as they were able to finish off the remaining bastions.
"We're all clear," Ana told them over Comms.
"Vicky," Jack gasped rushing across the room, dropping to his knees down beside her, "ANA NEED HEALING!"
"I'm coming," She spoke over comms.
'Victoria felt hands brush across her thighs, she moaned arching into the touch as fingers slipped in between her thighs. her moan bounced off the walls as lips brushed down her neck.
Pain was unbearable she felt like she was being stretched, nails scraped down her skin pulling her head back forcing something down her throat. She was pulled up till her face was level with someone, tears spread down her face she screamed pleading them to stop as she was thrown back into the wall behind her. A needle with orange liquid was waived in front of her face, "Beg for it..." the voice in her head echoed.
"Please..." She whispered.
"You beg so prettily."
She was forced to her knees as the needle was jammed into her throat and a cock forced down it, Victoria felt trapped in her own head watching herself begged to be fucked the only face coming to mind was Jacks as she was ripped from the darkness.'
She groaned pushing herself up, "Easy," she was told as she felt a hand pressed down on her shoulder. She blinked a few times allowing her eyes to refocus seeing Ana above her, "That looked like a bad fall."
"What happened?" She groaned rubbing her sore head.
"Pushed Reyes out of Bastion fire though you both got caught in the after mass of it pushing you both back," Ana smiled brushing the sweaty blonde hair back from her face, "You did well."
"Vicky your..." Jack went to touch her but Victoria in return screeched at him scrambling back, everything she saw hit her like a truck to the face raped... she was raped for three years he left her he didn't come and try to save her.
"DO NOT TOUCH ME!" Her scream echoed the area she scrambled up to her feet before yelling out in pain grabbing her head struggling for a moment. Reyes grabbed her elbow steadying her, "YOU LEFT!" She screamed, "They... oh god... I wanted it... I begged for it..."
Jack gulped breathing deeply the knock made her remember but this is not what he expected, "Victoria please..."
She ducked away from his hand standing behind Reyes her fists balled into the back of his Jacket, "Ana please..." She pleaded, "I don't..."
Ana stepped forward brushing past Jack, Victoria was violently shaking tears streamed down her face. "Victoria it's ok, they can't hurt you anymore..." She took the blonde in her arms stroking the girls hair, "You are ok."
Victoria screamed into Ana's coat burying her face into the soft blue material, her entire body shook as Ana held her tightly. "Why did I want it!" She cried, "I DID NOT WANT IT!"
"Victoria calm sweet heart," Ana whispered.
"What happened?" Reinhardt asked as he stepped forward, "She was fine moments ago."
"It was a large bang to the head," Gabriel explained.
The fingers trailing through her hair made her shiver, Jacks face had loomed over her. Everything was becoming a muddle, she begged, she had screamed, some hands were soft whilst others were rough. Sometimes it had been slow and sometimes it was rough, "Commander Reyes," a voice sounded in the door way.
"General," Gabriel turned to the door and strode towards the army general holding his hand out for the army General to shake.
Victoria flinched as Ana pressed her hand against the bruise on her head, Jack stood back watching the two.
"Cameras will be outside Victoria, you must be brave for them ok," Ana told her.
Cameras, smile, Victoria steadied her breathing.
"We are surprised that Overwatch has dealt with this crisis so well," The General smiled widely, "You all look pretty beat we thank you though."
"We are here to serve General," Reyes told him.
"Of course of course," the general continued on, "Come we are here to clean up the mess for you and we will get you back to the base."
"Thank you," Reyes told him.
Ana kept a secure hold on Victoria as they walked through the halls. Both woman looking on the verge of sleep, "Remember to call Faareha," Victoria told Ana, "She will most likely be watching the news."
Ana looked over at Victoria before brushing the blondes hair back, "Then we must look our best for her then don't we."
Victoria smiled weakly at Ana, her own hands still shaking as she breathed deeply, 'rape' three years that is what happened to her. She guessed as much but her own memories fully smacked into her it was confirmed. They stood at the doors for a few moments, Reyes looked down at them Ana dropped her arm. Brave, ran through Victoria's mind as she stood straight looking at the door Jack stood to her other side he seemed more on edge than her. She did not understand what she was feeling for him at the moment fear spread through her again.
The doors pushed open and the camera flashes went off in there faces, Reyes smiled looking at the rest of the team who were smiling widely and waving to the cameras. The girls looked natural as they waved at the Cameras whilst the men looked withdrawn not wanting to be here.
Down the sides keeping the reporters and cameras at bay was army soldiers, all of which stood silently at the side. A tall wide man in a suit stood in the centre of the car park, two men in black suits stood either side of him, "Commander Reyes," the man called as Overwatch walked across the filled car park towards him, fat meaty hand out for him to shake, "Job well done sir, job well done."
"Thank you President Grant," Reyes took the meaty hand.
"You all look exhausted," he laughed, "But thirteen hours we are mighty impressed."
"Thank you Sir," Reyes forced out trying not to glare.
Victoria looked around as Reyes continued to talk to the President realising that it wasn't just the news here some citizens were as well. She wondered off as the others talked to News reporter, "Ma'am," one the soldiers put his hand up, "We request that you do not..."
"HI!" A child called, "You fought the mean robots didn't you."
Victoria ducked under the soldiers arms into the crowd it was a large group of children, "Hello..." she smiled down at them.
"You fought the mean robots right?" A girl in a blue dress asked wide brown eyes looking up at her.
"Yes I did..." Victoria knelt down to there level.
"Was it scary?" Another child asked.
"Terrifying," she answered truthfully looking at the childrens eyes widened.
"But you didn't run away?"
"No I couldn't."
"Why not your an adult... they can do what they want."
"Well I knew that I was the only thing between the bad robots and you," she tapped one of the children on the nose smiling softly as the child burst into giggles, "and I had to keep you guys safe."
"THANK YOU!" They cheered making the woman blush.
"What will you do now?" The same girl asked.
"Well going to get our selves cleaned up and go back into the fight," Ana told them.
"Will you always be here to protect us?" One of the children asked them.
"We might not always be here," Victoria explained, "Though until we know you are all safe you don't have to fear because Overwatch will always be looking after you."
Ana lent down a hand on Victoria's shoulder as the children started to talk among themselves, "We better get a move on, I think Reyes is to thoughts away from shooting the President of Australia."
Victoria giggled softly, "You all be safe now ok?"
"Yes Miss Johnson," They coursed making Victoria smile brightly, Adawes words echoched in her head, 'smile for the cameras and make Jack happy.'
Ana and Victoria walked towards the armoured car waiting for them and slipped into the back seat of the car Victoria allowed to have the seat nearest the door as Liao sat the other side of Victoria.
The ride back was silent, Victoria had started to shake again keeping it in for a long time in front of the cameras. Ana took the small hands in her own stroking thumb across the back of Victoria's hand watching the woman draw her knees to her chest.
With Ana's hold on her hands Victoria couldn't scratch at her scalp as she wished to, the memory's were hitting her with full force she was surprised she didn't faint. She was being held down in her mind, three sets of hands two keeping her arms above her head, two hands spread her thighs as the third set of hands was wrapped around her throat. She was trying to fight, in her mind she was but her body lent into them begging them to continue.
"Victoria," Reyes voice sounded from the front of the car, "Thank you."
"What for?" Her watery eyes questioned him through the mirror.
"brave move that pushing me out of the way of Bastion fire," He told her looking away from the green eyes.
"Thank you Commander," She dipped her head slightly.
"You fought brilliantly Victoria," Reinhardt laughed, "I have not seen a fighting style like that for a long time."
"Save my arse back there, though my poor turret," Torbjion sighed.
Ana smiled knowing what the team was doing though no one other than Victoria knew what she had gone through they were trying to cheer her up. She looked back at Jack who was watching the world go past a grim look across his normally smiling face.
"Thank you."
The driver spoke up, "I have been told that you won't be coming back to the base of commands. The president has paid for you to have one of the luxury suites in Sydneys Royal Opera Hotel. Saying that you would need to be on top form for the next few days."
"nice of him," Reyes growled out as they pulled in front of the hotel.
Victoria had a feeling that there was a second motive to this, but she did not care for thirteen hours she was running round a power plant taking out bastion units. All she wanted now was a damn long bath.
Victoria soon got her wish and was laying in a warm bath her head against the side of the tub. She had scrubbed off the dust and grime from her skin feeling lighter than she orginally did, though the feeling of wanting to scratch at her head was still strong.
Why did he leave her there for them to have fun with her, it was horrible it was like watching herself through a mirror. On her knees happy to suck down the members cocks like a well trained whore, begging for it. There were times she fought against them, bitting the fingers that forced themselves into her mouth making her suck something off them. They kept her chained down on her bed for days on end sometimes, though in her mind she was not sure when one day stopped an another began why now. It must have been a bad bang for her to remember it all in one go, she couldn't hold the sob in any longer as she brought her knees up to her chest. He left her there, why did he leave her there. She thought he loved her was she wrong did he actually not care at all.
Was she here to just look pretty on Jacks arm.
"Victoria," Ana's voice called from the other side of the door, "Are you ok?"
"Ye-...No..." She replied through the tears.
"Can I come in?" Ana asked, it was like a mother asking a teenager can she come in.
"Yes," Victoria whispered more to herself, not knowing if she wanted Ana to see her in this state.
Ana was by her side in moments kneeling next to the bathtub brushing the wet blonde hair out of her face, "Jack wants to talk you know... Victoria what do you remember is it parts or?"
"The last... three is it? years... I don't remeber much else..." Victoria replied her green eyes not meeting Anas own brown ones.
"Victoria it was not Jacks fault," Ana tried to explain.
"NO!" Victoria yelled, "He left me there!"
"Victoria," Ana was calm, dealing with a stubborn seven year old helped her with these situations, "You have to understnad that Jack never gave up on you."
"They raped me Ana... day in... day out... they..." Victoria sobbed feeling broken used a toy being handed back and force constantly.
"Oh sweetheart," Ana lent over curling her arms around the younger woman, "Its ok they won't hurt you again."
"What..."
"Locked away," Ana told her, "They won't be harming any more woman."
"It hurts... I wanted it Ana... most of the time... I begged them," She cried.
"It is not your fault," Ana told her.
"Why me..." She wailed loudly, "I didn't do anything wrong!"
"I know sweetheart," Ana told her, leaning up taking one of the towels off the rack above, "Come on out before you get cold."
Ana helped Victoria out of the bath wrapping her securly in the towel, the girl did not deserve this no one did. But Victoria had been doing well incredibly well, she trained most of her free time and spent the rest of it catching up on the last three years of her life.
"Lets get you settled," Ana told her as she let Victoria dry herself off, "You need sleep... we all do."
"Should I..." Victoria stopped herself her brain started arguging over keeping Jack happy and ignoring him, it was and wasn't his fault.
"Victoria?" Ana questioned.
Victoria's smile didn't reach her eyes, "You alright?"
"All dandy," she replied.
Ana passed her the white fluffy bathrobe after Victoria dried herself off, "You need to speak to Jack about what happened."
"Jack," Victorias voice shook, "No just... he..."
Ana lead Victoria back into the girls room allowing her to lay down on one of the large double beds, the windows looked out across the sydeny harbour sky line. "Victoria," Ana sat beside her watching the girl curl in on herself, "Jack never wanted this to happen... when he saw you chained to that thing... he stormed off he was so angry Reyes told me that he stormed into the room with the Masters and punched one. Jack is normally so calm never resorting to violence not like that."
Victoria burried her head into the pillow screaming as another wave of tears hit her, "they raped me... constantly they raped me... they hit me when the drug was wearing off and I fought back."
Ana rubbed her back softly, "I am sorry Victoria."
"You didn't leave me!" She wailed.
"Neither did Jack," Ana told her, "Jack never wanted you to be hurt. He still doesn't... he feels Overwatch is the only way to do this."
"Ana... I want..." Victorias voice was weak, "I want it to stop... why can't I stop crying..."
Ana sat quietly next to Victoria listening to her cry, Victoria curled up around Ana slowly settling down and doozing off.
Ana slipped off the bed an hour later, gently padding across the floor slipping out of the room. Down the corridor and knocking on another door, Jack answered a few moments later, "Joining us for Poker?"
"Yes," Ana breathed stepping into the room seeing the other four round a table with drinks.
"Hows the girly?" Torbjion asked.
"Incredibly tired," Ana replied taking the seat next to him, "She screamed and cried not sure what to do."
"Does she?" Jack asked.
"She thinks you left her," Ana replied taking her cards and throwing some chips into the centre of the table. "She cried herself to sleep Jack do not disturb her."
"I wasn't..." Jack arguged.
"oh come on lover boy," Liao smiled at him, "We know you have been pacing your room afternoon."
Jack glared for a few moments, "She freake out and screamed at me."
"Yes we all saw," Gabriel stated.
"Shes never..." Jack groaned.
"The lil lady has just remembered that she has been raped not on a one off but constantly," Reinhardt reasoned, "You have to give her time."
Gabriel scoffed slightly, "Like the Secretary General will allow them to have time if she finds out."
"What?" Jack questioned.
"Have you not noticied alot of the storys within the papers that alot of the stuff that Adawe lets leaked, is about you too," Gabriel stated.
Jack was silent at Gabriels words remembering the photos in the press had put in the paper a few weeks ago it was of him and Victoria jogging round Overwatchs field track.
"She wouldn't have," Jack folded putting his cards down.
"All I am saying Jack... be careful what you say in front of the Secretary General that's all."
