I'm back properly and ready to get this show on the road. The shout outs this time go to Darth Cody, Sleeping Skeleton, Beltway, my music is anime, Zakath1, Darthmaul115, Anonymitt, 2200ss, xunravel-me, RedReaper-120. To quote Junkrat "Thanks mates". Over 50 follows. I never thought it would get this popular but here we are.
NOTICE: Could I ask that you try and keep it civil in the reviews please?
Also when this story is finished would anyone be interested in an angsty Mchanzo or a Roadrat story? If you couldn't already tell I like charaters when they suffer.
Reaper was not pleased. He was actually very angry. He hadn't expected Lena to be triggered so soon and she hadn't been able to get rid even one measly Overwatch agent. It had truly thrown a spanner in the works and it was still too early to go with his backup. Also now he knew for sure that they would be on the lookout for her. This hadn't gone the way he had planned.
He hadn't had this much to handle since his days at Blackwatch.
As he was planning, a couple of minutes later there was a knock on the door. He felt the relief go over him as at the door he saw his newest addition to the team alongside a roughed up Talon solider. She looked down at the agents as if he were nothing more than a common pest.
"Here she is sir." Said a beat up looking agent who had brought Lena into the room. Gabriel's observation skills told him that she had been a handful to capture. If only Gabe had mentioned that she needed to be told that they were Talon. He did enjoy seeing other people suffer so he often 'forgot' to tell his soldiers about stuff like this.
"Agent Tracer reporting for duty commander Reyes." She said going into a solider stance upon seeing her new commander. He smirked from under the mask, he should have gotten that title a long time ago.
He gave a low, smug filled laugh. He never expected the reconditioning to work this well. He found it odd seeing her not have that usual spark to her but he was glad he was able to get rid of it. When he was with Overwatch her perkiness caused him more daily stress. Especially her accent. God how the accent bothered him. Even though it was real it still somehow sounded like she was putting in on.
"How do you feel about Overwatch?" He asked eyeing her up and down, seeing how her body language had changed. One of the main things he noticed was she no longer did any weird leg poses, which frankly he was glad off.
"I want to destroy them." She said almost robot like. She had felt such strong emotion when thinking about murdering every single agent. It was weird. She had no idea what they had done to her but just hearing the name made her filled with such an intense disgust and hatred. Her heartbeat increased thinking about the flow of their rich red blood, and the clinking of scrap metal falling to the ground.
"Excellent. Even your wife? Amelie?" He questioned wanting to make sure that her training wouldn't break, even if he mentioned her wife. Lena took a moment then shot him a low smile.
"Why would I care about her?" She replied still standing in the soldier like position. The name Amelie meant nothing to her now. It was like anytime she thought about her their memories which should have made her happy only left her feeling nothing. Even their wedding didn't get a reaction from her. Memories of Amelie's smile began to flash red as she could see what she would look like with a bloodied mouth. She found it difficult to remember the good times but she remembered every single detail of every fight they had in high definition images. They yelling, the insults and the tears. All of it. There had been something about a note but it was blurred in her mind.
Reaper nodded was sure that she was ready for the rest of her training. They had tried this process on other agents but they hadn't survived, they had all been weak. He was sure that Lena would pull though fine. She had always had that drive which nothing could destroy.
Seeing as Amelie also had this drive they had considered her as an option but they had the opportunity to get the better of the two and they snatched it up faster than Lena could say 'luv'
"I have a new mission for you. We need you to tell us where the new primary Overwatch base is. Then we plan a little visit." He brought up a map of the world. He was sure that Jack would have been smart enough to change the location and pick a new base. Probably one he didn't know about.
"They are Located right about there!" She said pointing to roughly where Gibraltar was located. Gabriel was surprised but then again it was a brilliant tactical move on Jack's part. No one would suspect them operating at an old base which he thought would be too obvious to even bother looking at.
He sent the coordinates to the purple hacker and hoped she would be able to locate and hack any of the security turrets. He hoped it would go better then when they tried to take out Volskaya themselves. He had ended up fighting a lot of giant mechsuits while Sombra was running after Katya. It ended up with the target escaping and they got nothing useful from it. He found it a real annoyance that Sombra could find no dirt on the CEO. He expected better from her.
He gave her the 'at ease' command and she took a regular stance. She still kept her bouncy nature but now it was more serious looking. He could see that the training was supressing it.
"Sir we found her old costume. Would you like her to wear it?" A talon agent asked holding out the orange jumpsuit. He took one glance at it and smacked it out of his hand, making him flinch a little. When it came to his group's uniforms he took it very seriously and the orange didn't exactly fit in with Sombra or his colour schemes. He gave a simple head turn and this was enough to scare the messenger enough to get the hell out of there.
"I already made something else for her. No more of that goddamn orange." He said pointing to a room which had her new uniform. He had always despised the clothes she wore. Every time he saw the brightness of it he secretly wanted to burn it. She made her way to try out her new style.
She walked out no less than a minute later. Her new Talon uniform consisted of her old style but a very new colour scheme with some minor changes that Gabriel himself had made personally. It was all black with accents of red and brown. The jacket was now definitely more punk looking, having a popped up collar and have a black exterior with a visible red interior, fingerless gloves to give it that 'badass Talon' look. Her trousers were now designed with the capability of holding even more guns. She still had the guns which were linked to the accelerator but she still had the cool down issue. Besides Gabriel felt as though everyone could use more guns. Infinite guns perhaps.
Something was not quite right yet. Gabe quickly spotted what it was and riffled her hair. Her official Talon look was complete. She was ready.
"I can't wait to but a bullet in every single in of them." He said with a sadistic joy. If anyone had asked Gabriel if he could take on Overwatch he would have said no but now he felt like he could take on the entire world with his newest weapon. He especially wanted some one on one time with the good doctor herself. Since she had made him like this he would like to return the favour. Maybe he could give her new permanent deformed wings physically moulded to her body.
"When do we start?" She asked suddenly appearing beside him. She was ready to do her job. He pulled a gun out but then it down when he realised it was just her. She used to do that back in the old days and he always had the same reaction.
She was ready to take down Overwatch.
Amelie was getting ready. She was getting ready to begin the hunt for Gabriel Reyes. She was going to find him and make him undo all of the madness he had caused. She was checking the sights of her scope and was double counting her ammunition. She was going to be prepared for anything because since Lena had joined the bad guys anything could happen.
She was reaching for her visor out of her locked when a small scrap of paper had fallen out of her locker. She picked it up and she could feel all the nostalgic memories coming back.
It had been an apology note left by Lena after a really big fight. It was about Overwatch. It had started as a simple bed time discussion. They were talking about how much time Lena sent away from her. Things had really escalated when Amelie had asked her which was more important, her or Lena's job and Lena had trouble answering. Amelie started to cry and Lena had known that she had messed up big time, she was sent to the sofa for the night. After Amelie had gone to sleep she spent the whole morning making breakfast for her and wrote her a note to say how sorry she was. They spent the rest of the morning talking it over and they made up. Lena called into work with a "Cold" so she stayed with Amelie all day and watched their favourite movies.
She realised she had been looking blankly at the photo and put it in the bag too. It would serve as a reminder that the real Lena was in there. If there was one thing she was afraid of it was that Lena's old self was permanelty gone.
In the door way she heard a soft laugh. By the gruffness there was only one person it could be. She shot a quick glance at the elderly solider.
"What is it Jack?" She said not even giving him her attention, too busy focusing on her guns.
"I came here to talk about what you're planning." He said picking up one of the grenades and tossing it to her. He reflexes made sure she caught it before it fell on the ground.
"I'm going to find Gabriel. Make him tell me how to fix her." She said angrily stuffing the grenade into a bag. She knew that Jack wouldn't approve of her plan but knowing how Jack would do it he would make a complicated plan that just made everything worse for everyone.
"Amelie, since Lena is now the enemy we need you to remain focused. You have to not freeze if you see her." Advised Jack, not wanting her to be hurt. If you got distracted for even a second. You could be killed. He learned that in Switzerland a long time ago.
"I won't. I want her back her. I'll capture that skull wearing freak and make him sing like a bird." She said putting on her purple uniform. It had the Overwatch logo on the arm and was defiantly one of the more practical outfits that any Overwatch hero had.
"You can't go in alone." He said from past experience of going on solo missions.
She gave a small snarky laugh. She couldn't believe that he thought she was going after him alone. For someone who was meant to be a tactical leader he sure underestimated her. She was going to make him come after her.
"I know what I'm doing Jack. I'm making a bag so I have all the tools to take him down. He'll more than likely try and attack us when we least expect it." She snapped back at him. His questioning of her was really beginning to bother her. She knew where he was coming from and why he was doing it but right now she really wasn't in the mood for any of his speeches about the power of teamwork or something along those lines.
"I know him. He's a highly functioning psychopath. He knows what people are probably going to do. It's just that if things go bad-!" Jack was going to lecture her more on the importance of not being distracted by the enemy a high pitched alarm sounded and they both quickly looked at each other before going to the main room.
There was a concerned looking Winston. On one monitor it showed a map of Gibraltar with several red enemy dots all moving in on the one location. On the other monitor there seemed to be footage of the outside of the HQ. A familiar looking figure stood in front of the camera giving an unsettling look before shooting it out.
"What's going on?" The soldier demanded to know. He looked at the other monitors and saw exactly what was going on. They were under attack. And he knew exactly who was leading this attack. Amelie was giving commands to Athena to tell the others where the enemies were. She hoped that they weren't far from the base.
Winston was still looked at the disconnected warning up the screen, he was so shocked he didn't even hear Jack the first time.
"It's Lena."
All three of them looked to another camera where they saw her and Gabriel walking up together. Winston began to work with Athena and activate different security protocols while the soldier and the sniper kept on observing. Looking at had become of their former lovers.
They knew that they were in for one hell of a fight.
