The time had passed quickly and things were pretty much back to normal. Lena was almost back to her old self, Talon seemed to be quiet and the earth was still turning.
It had been another normal day in the Overwatch HQ and once again the soldier had a mission for them.
"We have a mission. Talon agents will be trying to get data from the Temple of Anubis. We need to stop them." He told them in a more serious voice than usual. No one understood why but they assumed that it must have been because either Gabe was going to be there or it was a matter of national security.
Probably the first option though.
They were at the location and were getting all set up unfortunate Soldier 76 forgot to mention that they would be meeting with another agent. An agent from the French division. A friend to most people but one of Lena's worst enemies.
"Gerard…" Lena said greeting him like an old enemy. She was grinding her teeth just looking at him. He filled her with such disgust.
"Hello Lena." He replied not looking at her. Things were never good between them. Even though he and Amelie lost their feelings for each other he still didn't like the fact that she had moved on form him so quickly. And with someone so annoying. Also it didn't help that he still blamed Lena for a part in not saving her from the assassination.
"Why are you here?" She asked trying to be civil. Amelie always wanted her to be nice to Gerard but then again Amelie was no longer here.
"The assassin who killed Amelie was from France." He too wanted to keep it professional but he was equally annoyed at the sight of her too. Standing there in her tacky orange jumpsuit. He was baffled as too how Amelie chose this to be her next lover. This he would never know.
"You don't need to be here. I could catch the spider myself." She folded her arms while pouting at him. The others looked at the vents unfolding and while some looked away awkwardly the other were too entranced by the display of bitterness.
"Didn't get her the first time." He said under his breath but loud enough for her to hear him. He did feel sad when he heard Amelie had been killed but since he wasn't entirely sure of his relationship with her he didn't know how to feel for the rest of it.
"Excuse me? At least she was happy with me!" She said right up in his face. She was told he was a hard agent to kill but right now she felt like she could end him with ease. The pressure was getting to breaking point and someone had to intervene.
"When this is done I'd love to show you around, Angela. It's my home." Fareeha said trying to diffuse the tension of the previous lover of Amelie Lacroix.
Both of them looked to Fareeha and they could see that it was drawing attention so they both backed off each other. Still giving each other death glares.
"It is a beautiful country. It's been a while since we've been on a proper date." It was true. Ever since the whole business with Amelie their love life was pretty much put on hold but now that things were returning to back to normal she decided that it was time to finally get back on track with everything.
"I wonder why that is?" She smugly glanced over to Angela and she couldn't stop the blush that was creeping across her face.
"A doctor's work is never done, Fareeha." She blew her a quick kiss and Fareeha caught it in her hands. Angela's air kisses were adorable to her.
"Get a room. I'm pretty sure Fareeha's house is near here." Lena joked to get them to stop. Seeing romance was still making her feel super uncomfortable. She knew she didn't want to stop other people from being happy but it was just hard for her to see. And now that Gerard was here she was even more emotional.
A sudden beeping came from Gerard's phone and they all knew it was time to get into action.
Amelie's with her rifle were far greater than they had ever been before. She didn't know what Talon had put into her system but it every time she went to kill she felt her be more precise and even her shots hit more times meaning she didn't have to reload often. As much as she didn't want to admit it, it did fell really good. She couldn't really describe it but it was a feeling of power and control. Something she had very little off when she was Amelie.
Amelie was in her position sniping security soldiers when she saw him. It had been at least 2 years since she had last seen him and in her humble opinion not long enough. She was going to snipe him out of existence but then she saw where he was running and she let him go just a little bit further.
She waited for him to run into her trap and like expected he ran straight under the arch, setting off her newly acquired venom mine. As he coughed and fell down to the ground she used her recon visor to make sure no one else was near. When the coast was clear she grappled down and while he was coughing she kicked him in the back and proceeded to step on him.
"You always were a fool." She whispered in his ear. Her voice was filled with more venom than he was at the moment.
His eyes widened as he realised that there was only one person who spoke with that voice but it was short lived as she brought the gun to his face and proceeded to pull the trigger, ending his life once and for all. This was one of the most satisfying things she had ever done.
Lena spotted the blue skinned sniper standing over Gerard's fresh corpse and she was filled with 2 emotions. Determination and Rage. She blinked up to where the assassin was and began to fire her weapon at her but it seemed that the assassin had good training as she was gone before Lena could even land on the ground. She looked at Gerard and felt nothing for him.
Amelie used this moment of her distraction to sneak away to another location and once again resume her cold blooded murdering.
As Amelie set up her shot again so tried to think of who she would kill. She considered Mei as she didn't really matter to her but then she figured she had done nothing to deserve it. She saw Hanzo standing completely still which would make for an easy target but she knew it would break Genji and Jesse. Then she spotted who she would kill. The person in the blue jump jet suit.
She thought back to how she had failed to save Lena from being taken by Talon and starting all of this. She could only think of the bad things she had done and the decision was made. She put down her recon visor and carefully aimed it at the younger Amari. She had to be careful though, Angela was boosting her attack from behind and she didn't want the angel to get hurt.
The shot went directly into Fareeha's midriff and it wasn't until she stopped firing that Angela realised something was wrong. It was a delayed reaction but Fareeha yelled in pain and she went down.
"No, no, no, no, no, no!" She cried as she tried to catch Fareeha from falling but since her suit was only meant for gliding purposes she wasn't able to keep her up for very long. As the body hit the ground with a thud she heard her love hiss with pain. Angela was freaking out but she took comfort in the fact that she was alive.
"Agent Pharah has been injured, she's alive. I need backup." She held her head in her hand and reassured her that everything was going to be okay. She was using all of her staff's power but she was scared in case the sniper finished her off, they were both out in the open space beside a small fountain.
Ana was on her perch and she was meant to be shooting an enemy but as soon as she heard the intercom she didn't shoot. She didn't know what to do. She knew she needed to be with her daughter but with the sniper still living she knew she had to kill her first.
Ana looked frantically around her until she spotted the assassin who had hurt her daughter. She was filled with a rage only a mother who knew her child was in pain could know. She also had a great sense of justice for the entire team as she could tell that this was the same assassin who had killed her former pupil.
Ana aimed at the sniper and yelled as she shot at her. She was far away but she could still hear the sound of the metal being destroyed yet she still didn't see the body fall to the ground. She only seemed to destroy the headset but it was at that moment she did something she shouldn't have.
Hesitated.
Under the assassin's visor she saw a ghost. It was Amelie Lacroix. The woman who was supposed to be dead for over a month ago. She was trying to process it. To see one of her friends so angry and working for the enemy was shocking her to the core. She normally never froze up during her sniping. In fact she had only done it once before. When she had seen Gabriel's transformation.
Amelie saw that she was hesitating and she took the moment in her grasp and took another shot. Another Amari was down was down by her hand. Or so she thought.
Ana lay there hold her now destroyed eye. The pain was unimaginable. She wanted to yell for Angela but she knew that her daughter needed looking after first.
Satya was setting up the turrets when she heard a scream come from a roof. Knowing what each member of Overwatch sounded like she could pin point exactly who it was. It was captain Amari. A woman she greatly respected. She ran up as fast as she could, making quick work of any talon agents she happened to come across.
Amelie was ready to dispatch her permanently but Satya was not having it.
When she finally reached Ana she projected a barrier and blocked Amelie's shot but she wasn't going to let her target away that easily. She was going to do this right. She was going to get away from Talon.
"Do not worry Captain Amari, Ziegler will-!" She would have finished her sentence but it was cut off by the sound of a bullet being relived of its shell and a very sharp pain in her heart. She fell to the ground as a snipers bullet went straight through her bodice and made a small mark on the ground. Ana tried to reach out and help her but there was no way she could have survived it.
Amelie was mentally shaking at this point. She had just murdered an Overwatch agent. True she and her never really talked but she never thought she would have to kill her. One thing that was dominating her thoughts was just how thrilling this all was. It made her feel alive.
Amelie was going to finish the job on the Amari once and for all but a gloved hand pulled her gun up as she shot and just missed her target.
"That's enough Amelie." The gravelly voice of her boss told her.
"Why? You said you wanted Overwatch dead and this is the way to do it." She told him back. She didn't understand why Talon couldn't just kill everyone while they had the chance, except Lena of course.
"No! This is a battle of strategy. If we kill too many they'll now bother mourning them and they'll have only anger which could make them even more dangerous." He knew how everything worked and he knew that they had become very dangerous after Amelie had died and she wasn't even a member. He was dreading what would happen now another one had bit the dust. He knew the group had mixed feelings about her so it could either work in his favour or not.
She rolled her eyes and gave him a short scoff as a reply. Amelie got up and grappled back to the ship. It seemed that her services were no longer required.
"Everyone fall back." He commanded.
Sombra was going to go with Talon but then while hacking a health terminal before she left just so that the enemy team couldn't heal themselves but as she began to type she overheard an enemy intercom.
"Agent Vaswani down. Symmetra down." She instantly stopped her hacking and went to the nearest Overwatch agent and listened in without being seen. She was careful to remain invisible around the green musician.
"That's messed up, I didn't like her but damn no one deserves to die." Lúcio said as he was making his way to go help the Amari. It seemed that the other medic was preoccupied making sure that Fareeha was okay.
She gasped but kept herself quite when the soldier looked around after he thought he heard a small shocked noise. She activated her camouflage again and ran around frantically looking for where she could be. She checked every corner but when she went to investigate she happened to find the world's best former Assassin passed out with Satya's still warm body along with a half dead looking elderly woman and the DJ helping her up.
As soon as Lúcio was gone she dropped her camouflage and ran over to her love. She stopped herself for a moment. She refused to believe that it was actually her there on the ground and all bloodied.
"No mueras mi amor, por favor. Necesito que me ayudes a aprender, Así podemos correr el mundo." She said trying to check for a pulse. There was nothing. Sayta would always tell her how her Spanish was fascinating to her and how she could just go whole nights listening to her voice. Her mourning was cut short however.
She tried to stifle her sob but she hear the enemy coming as well as the sound of Reyes in her ear yelling at her to get back to the ship. She wiped her face and kissed her love one more time before running out of there.
Sombra worked her way back to the Talon ship and was greeted by both Reaper and Widowmaker. She was previously trying to hide her sadness but there was no longer any sadness there. There was only loathing for the maker of widows.
"Did you get what you needed?" She asked trying to engage but when she say how Sombra looked like she had been crying she realised she may have made a mistake. A rather big one at that.
"Yeah. Why did you kill her?" She demanded to know. There were nearly 20 heroes and Satya was the one she chose to kill. Out of all of them she chose the one she loved. She felt a deep desire, not for information but just to get revenge. She didn't care if Talon needed her as their newest weapon. In her eyes she was a dead woman. No, not a dead woman. First she had to destroy her emotionally and take everything away from her. Then leave her alive to suffer.
"Quoi? Do you mean Satya?" Amelie asked looking up from her gun. She was slightly off put by the hacker's dishevelled appearance but she answer anyway.
"Why her, Why not the archer or that dwarf?" She wanted to know. True she needed certain agents alive to fulfil her one true goal of finding out who runs the planet but they were all indispensable. Sayta Vaswani was not.
"I am sorry, I didn't realise you two were close." She felt like the hacker was about to scratch her in the face with her pointed nails. Gabriel came in and saw the two women about to square down but he intervened. There had been enough blood shed for one day.
"I warned you not to get close, Sombra." Gabriel scolded her. It was part of the job description. No strings to anyone outside. She was ready to unleash all 60 rounds into his mask but she was too busy thinking of her fallen love to do anything about it. She put her gun away but shot Gabriel a glare that could kill.
"She was my love. And my informant as well. You've damaged my intel collection and my love life." She didn't want to give Gabe the satisfaction of being right about her relationship with the Vishkar architect so she said it out loud so he wouldn't be able to call her out.
Amelie was trying to find the words but she couldn't think of anything. She had effectively ruined 2 prelateship's in under 2 months. Her own and Sombra's. She reached out to give her physical reassurance but her hand was caught and held tight, bright purple nails digging into her flesh. She was relieved she didn't feel pain anymore because it looked like it would hurt.
"Just don't Viudaperra…" She violently let go off her and she stormed off probably to go get more information but to go be alone in her room.
Little did Amelie know Sombra was already plotting revenge and she knew how just to do it. It was time to open her file on Lena Oxton.
Just to clear it up Fareeha and Ana are still alive just injured. While Satya and Gerard are dead. So Amelie killed Satya and Sombra's not taking it too well. What do think she's going to do now? If anyone wants the Fareeha/Mei alternate just ask, it'll take time though. I killed my main for you people. I hope you're happy. Also next chap I finally get to introduce a specific scarf wearing ginger.
