"Lena! Hurry up we have to get going." Yelled Amelie from the bottom of the stairs.
It had been 2 weeks since they had found Lena and everything seemed to be going great. She and Amelie had been able to get all their possessions back but they still had to move to a new location. It was a nice little house just outside of King's row. Amelie decided she wanted to be close to Lena at all times so she decided to take up a part time job with Overwatch. It was mostly just helping out with random jobs in the building, either helping set up the training room or help Mercy in the medical bay.
It was good.
They were going to a Mondatta rally that was happening actually in Kings Row at the moment. Amelie knew that Lena loved him and saw him as an inspirational figure so she thought it might be nice for them to go before Lena had to go back on her first official mission.
"I'm here. How do I look?" She said from the top of the stairs. She had decided that she didn't really want that much attention on her so she had decided to switch up her look and just go with a plain red flannel shirt with brown trousers. She wanted to cover her chronal accelerator, it would make too many people notice her and she just wanted Amelie to be the only one looking at her.
"You always look beautiful no matter what you wear." She said sneaking her a quick kiss on the cheek. She was kind of glad that Lena was out of uniform, without her goggles they showed of her eyes which in Amelie's opinion was one of the best parts of her face. They were so lively but they were so welcoming and warm. She could look at them for hours.
"Aww thanks Luv." She blushed and grabbed Amelie by the hand practically dragging her out of the house. Seeing as it was their first proper date she was like an excited puppy and wanted to get it started.
They arrived at the event and it was packed. Everyone was there. Humans and Omnics walking together freely some even looked like they were couples. There was still some protestors screaming that they should be scrapped as well as he humans who supported them but it seemed that they were being kept back quite well.
"Come on Ame. He's already started." She said pulling Amelie into the crowd hoping that she would be able to get a good viewing point.
She sighed it seemed that every time she would try and get closer someone would block her out. As Lena was going to raise a point with the person who had stepped out in front of her she noticed that they person was holding up a child so that it could feel better. Amelie not wanting to see her wife sad pulled out her grappling hook and grabbed Lena by the waist.
"What are you doing?" She asked putting her hands on her hips, making a pouty face.
"Hold on." Amelie replied firing her hook and pulling them up onto a roof. Lena held to her and screamed as they were pulled up into the air. No one heard her as the crowd was busy screaming for the omnic peace hero.
"You gave me a heart attack you imbecile." She said doing her best fake sounding French accent while proceeding to laugh it off. Amelie laughed at her adorable, dorky wife. They looked down and they had a perfect view of everything. They could see Mondatta without having to get through the others.
"Let's sit." Luckily Amelie had foreseen herself having to do something like this so she pulled a spare blanket she had brought with her and laid it out like they were having picnic. It was a nice roof, it had various potted plants of different colours and you could see everything form up there so it was a good enough place to enjoy the show.
They sat down and Lena curled up next to Amelie, resting her head on her shoulder. It felt weird that she was currently doing this with Lena considering how she came so close to losing her at the beginning of this while mess but that was over. She guessed she just had to learn to enjoy the moment.
"I'm 'appy I get to be back with you." She said dreamily looking at Amelie's warm chocolate eyes.
"Me too." She said letting out a sigh and just watched as people's heart were filled with hope for the future.
"Knowing our luck I'll probably get called back for some type of urgent mission." She joked pulling out her phone to turn it to silent, not wanting her job to ruin her moment.
"Jack will probably call now saying something that makes things even more complicated like "He's here!" or "The target is Gabriel Reyes." Amelie laughed but when Lena didn't reply she slowly began to halt her laughter. From the way that Lena's body stiffened it was clear that something was up.
"Lena…" She asked realising something was wrong. Lena lost all of her expression and her chronal accelerator was beginning to look like it was glitching. She didn't think that Lena would take it that seriously. She shouldn't have been so stupid. Amelie had thought that she had probably trigger some kind of bad memory by bringing up Reyes.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought up Gabriel so soon. Mon Cherie, je t'aime." She said nuzzling in closer. She didn't want to cause a scene so she was hoping that her affection would make her not go into panic attack mode.
Amelie was suddenly pushed back with full force, nearly causing her to fall to the ground, hitting her head and making a loud smacking sound. She locked back and for the first time ever in their relationship Amelie was scared of Lena. Her chronal accelerator was not the normal blue but instead a blood red colour and her face was no longer jovial but a quite looking emotionless which dripped with subtle hints of violence.
"Lena are you-"
She picked up a plant pot and threw it down hard, shattering it into a million pieces. Amelie jumped at the loud crash. Fearing that Lena was having a flashback she tried to stay where she was and remain confident, hoping she would be able to talk her out of it and reassure her she was safe. Lena had had this type of attack before but it had never been this violent.
Lena picked up a shard and made a swiping motion towards her. She only just missed it and watched her wife growl with aggression as she made a second attempt to try and stab her.
"Cherie please stop your safe. I'm not going to hurt you." She put her hands up to shield her but for a moment Lena stopped. Amelie thought that she had gotten over her episode but then she heard the words which let her know it wasn't just normal.
"Overwatch must fall." She whispered in a low, lifeless voice. She didn't care that it was Amelie. She was related to Overwatch so she needed to be eliminated.
Amelie put two and two together, finally realising that Talon had done more than she had originally thought. She knew that she couldn't hurt Lena but she would be murdered if she tried to stop her. She didn't have her gun and even if she was brainwashed she could hurt her lover.
She had to think quickly so she did the first thing that came to her mind and run. More people would get hurt if they stayed in that area so she knew she had to run away from the crowd even though it could have helped her more.
She began to run as her love followed in hot pursuit, blinking right behind her and taking swings at her chest and sides. None of her hits landing but coming closer to cutting her skin.
While running across the roof tops she quickly picked up a gardening trowel. True it wasn't anything like she normally used in battle but she didn't have the time to be picky. She was out of breath and this allowed for her wife to be able to catch up with her and their battle ensued.
Lena was making slashing motions like some kind of psychopath who took joy in watching her victims suffer. It was like she felt emotion for the first time. She looked like she was feeling alive. Amelie was of course all the while yelling for help. She used her makeshift weapon to block most of the attacks as it would have been useless in doing any damage.
Lena gave Amelie a look of sadness that was begging for help and she momentarily was caught off guard, causing Lena to drop the act and slash at her. Amelie's reflexes where fast enough to save her from an abdomen wound but not fast enough to save her arm form being caught instead.
All the commotion didn't go unnoticed as the rooftop guards began to converge on the scene only for the brunette hero to quickly swipe on of their guns and kill them all in cold blood. Not even batting an eyelid.
Amelie was running for her life, she didn't know where she was going but she knew that she had to take Lena away from the civilians. No one could get hurt. She pulled out her phone whole trying to dodge her wife's incoming attacks.
"Who's there?!" She yelled into the phone looking for anywhere she could possibly hide for a moment. She winced involuntarily as the wound on her arm was beginning to make its self-known to her.
"What's wrong?" A voiced replied from the other end. From the accent she could tell it was Athena. She would have rather an actual team member pick up but once again she couldn't afford to be picky.
"Tell someone- No tell everyone who's available to get here now! Lena has gone murder crazy and there are civilians as well as Mondatta!" She yelled as a bullet destroyed the device, breaking it into tiny pieces.
She didn't have time to hear her response, Lena was hot on her trail and they were still too close to the rally. Amelie didn't want to have to do this but she saw no other option. While she was out of sight momentarily she placed a non-lethal mine on a chimney knowing fully well that she would set it off hopefully subduing her for a while.
As she heard the puff of gas she halted her running and took a deep breath. She looked to see Lena on the ground coughing and she could help but run back to help her up. As she was going to help her Lena took advantage of her foolishness and threw a pulse bomb at her. Amelie only had seconds before she was thrown of the building and falling in mid-air. Lena once again resumed her shooting. As the bullets missed Amelie it skidded past her neck and made its way into another person. Or rather another Omnic.
Amelie didn't know what was going on. She heard screaming from all around below her but she didn't see what was happening, then she saw what had happened.
Lying on the ground, with sparks coming out of his arm, was Mondatta. From what Amelie could see she hadn't killed him but he had still been hurt badly. Lena had just attempted to assassinate the only hope for peace among humans and omnics. Amelie had no real opinion on the omnics but since Lena had always supported them she did as well. The one thing she did know was that if word got out an Overwatch agent had nearly killed him that would permanently shut it down.
Amelie used her grappling hook one last time to secure herself onto a ledge only just being able to grab onto it, she felt her breath catch in her throat as her arm was causing her trouble keeping her weight up. She held on but as she attempted to pull herself back up a figure began to tower over her.
"Snap out of it. Please." She begged Lena, somehow hoping that deep down the real Lena was there and only needed to be reawakened. Despite all of her best cries Lena seemed unamused by it, she even looked pitifully at her.
"The old Lena is dead, Lacroix." She said contentedly as she began to step down on Amelie's hands, knowing at some point she would have to let go.
"LENA! STOP PLEASE! WHAT'S GOING ON?" Amelie screamed at her. She always kept small weapons on her but she couldn't bring herself to use them. She was hanging onto the ledge for her life as it was a long way down. She didn't want to hurt her even if she was trying to kill her.
"Stupid little git." She looked Amelie dead in the eyes. She could see that she was begging her not to do it, begging her to please be somewhere still in there but she was gone. She kicked her hand the pain left her no choice but to let go of the ledge.
"LENA!"
So Lena has accidentally attempted to murder mondatta, she's gone fully Talon and Amelie is falling to her doom of a tall building. What happens next? A lot of stuff. Stay tuned. I won't be updating until after the 24th because of school and ya soon.
