A/N: Itty bitty filler chapter. Next chapter will be longer, I promise you. I'm very sorry for the long wait between uploads. Real life has me busy lately, so I have nearly no time to write.

Striding out into the battlefield, Alessandra looked about, cigarette between her pink lips. She couldn't yet see the Scout. He must be off chasing down a BLU. She would have to wait for him.

She soon found her RED counterpart, and part of her cowered down at the sight of him, but she stood her ground, killing him with a shot from her Ambassador, the bullet hitting out of pure luck.

Hearing a sound behind her, Alessandra instinctively moved to the right, watching bat collide with the ground where she'd been a second prior. His glare nearly burned through her, returned with a glare of her own. That glare of his was accompanied by a twisted smirk. Looking behind him, Alessandra's glare faded completely.

The RED Pyro stood behind it's teammate, gloved finger teasing the trigger on it's flamethrower. If there was one true fear Spies possessed, it was the fear of Pyros. The horrid Arsonists, the ones who laughed when your flesh melted right off of your muscle and bones.

With one simple sound of the fire igniting, Alessandra panicked, preparing for the fire to consume her, but it didn't. The Pyro instead surrounded them with the fire. Ryan looked visibly startled as the Pyro just laughed, nearly burning both of them.

Using this as a distraction, Alessandra pulled out her knife and lunged at the thin man. The blade cut his shirt, and some of the flesh underneath, drawing blood and earning a squawk of surprise from the Scout. He hadn't expected her to cut him.

His surprise and pain turned into anger, and the man swung his bat. It narrowly missed her with each swing, the Spy stuck between it and the fire. He stopped swinging nd jabbed it forwards into her ribcage, the Spy falling to her knees as she clutched the newly broken area.

A hiss of pain left her mouth, before she saw his feet move and disappear from her line of sight, and hands on the back of her balaclava. Ryan's knees dug into her hips, and his nails into her mask. The wall of fire was right in front of her face, the heat was making her eyes water.

She felt pressure on the back of her head, and noticed that Ryan was trying to force her face into the flames. She felt fear ripple through her veins and resisted, trying to back away. She couldn't believe he was stooping to this level.

If only she'd known earlier how badly she'd hurt him. Feeling the fire's heat getting closer, Alessandra felt her eyelashes curling from the heat. Knowing she needed to do something to get away from the pain-driven man, she reached back, grabbing his arms and using her legs to move backwards.

The Scout lost his balance and screamed as he fell forwards into the fire. He immediately bounced up, swatting around at the flames, dancing around as he tried to put out the inferno that covered his body. His skin began to bubble, and slowly melt.

His eyeballs melted and dripped from their sockets, the cartilage in his nose and ears melted and shriveled, as his body burnt to a blackened husk, his screams of pain and suffering filling the ears of the horrified Spy.

Her eyes were wide as she backed away, not knowing what to do. Her Scout was slowly burning to death in front of her eyes. It was the worst thing she'd ever seen, not feeling the tears streaming down her cheeks as she screamed his name.

In a matter of a minute, the Scout was a blackened, skinless corpse, curled n the fetal position. Nothing was left of his clothes, and it was near impossible to identify what was what on his body. Kneeling over his body, Alessandra wept, each falling tear hissing when it hit his body, causing steam to rise, the stench of death filling the air.

The Pyro didn't know what to think, but merely tilted it's head, and with a pull of a trigger, granted the Spy an identical death.

A/N: Next chapter coming today or tomorrow. It'll be a bit angsty, and will feature the Scout as the main POV.

A big thank you to every one of my nine followers. You guys make me smile.

[Update: 13/10/12] Sorry about the lateness of the chapter I promised. My computer didn't save my chapter, as I thought it did. I'll be steadily working on it for the next few days again though, I'm sorry about this guys.
