Overwatch x Paladins Chapter 2
Author note: Here is the second chapter of this story. I can probably manage to write a chapter every week if I don´t run out of ideas. (I sell it as learning for English class, so death threads and personal insults for every typo are appreciated)
At the headquarter of Talon things were going down. At least in Reapers head. He never thought a terrorist group could have so much paperwork. He always hated it. At Overwatch, at Blackwatch and now even more. For the sixth time he looked over the ton of papers on his desk, not really trying to understand anything. As he looked up he noticed Sombra sitting on a chair at the corner of the room.
Sombra: The great and mighty Reaper at work! How fascinating!
She crossed her legs and smirked at Reaper
Reaper: Shut up. Help me out or leave me alone.
Sombra: Nah, why don´t you ask Widowmaker. Where is she anyway?
Reaper: She has the day off. We have no use for her now.
Sombra: Of course. Why can´t I have a day off? I did not join Talon to watch over your Henchmen internet browser history.
In annoyance Reaper grabbed one of his shotguns and tried to shot at the Hacker, but Sombra precautionary had placed a translocator behind at the door and so vanished from the chair before the shotgun rounds could hit her. She reappeared at the door and and opened it nonchalant.
Reaper: Do what you want but if you don´t leaf me alone I may not miss a second time.
Sombra left without a word and without closing the door, to Reapers displeasure. The purple lady began to wander down the floor, deep in thoughts.
Sombra: Why does Widowmaker get a day off. Isn´t she just a doll programmed to kill? I wonder what she is doing in her free time.
Widowmaker sat on the roof of some business building. She never bothered to look what it was. But it was the perfect place to kill time. Nobody could see her from there and she had perfect sight on a specific little alley. In the alley hung several wanted posters on the wall. One of them was hers . From this place she could always kill any fool who laid an eye on the reward and make the corpse disappear without anyone noticing. Many bounty hunters and mercenary from the underground had already fallen to this trick. Widowmaker watched her face on the wanted posters with her scope as a person came along and mustered the wall. It was a woman with short brown hair and a yellow scarf around the neck. From the angle she could clearly see the big weapon on her back. After a few seconds it was clear. That girl was looking for money. Widowmaker took her time to aim at the head even tough the target stood completely still. She pulled the trigger but with a little tilt of her head the unknown bounty hunter dodged the bullet without even looking. She turned around and fired her weapon in assault rifle form directly at Widowmaker. The shocked Widowmaker reacted almost to late to seek cover behind one of the chimneys of the building.
Widowmaker: Damn, how did she dodged this? Does she know this trap? Who is that?
As the energy blasts stopped she peeked out with her sniper to make out the enemy's location, but the enemy was gone.
Widowmaker: She is still around.
Widowmaker used her grappling hook to swing on a nearby higher building to gain a better sight on the town and activated her infra sight. But the she was still nowhere to be found. Then she heard footsteps behind her.
Kinessa: Nice glasses you have. Can I keep them when I kill you?
Widowmaker: That bullet. How did you dodged it?
Kinessa: Question! Do you know how often my targets tried that cheap trick? My name is Kinessa, in case you haven´t heard of me.
Widowmaker: Not the slightest. But do you know who I am?
Kinessa: Widowmaker, terrorist, a big bunch of bounty on your head. that is all I need to know. But I would like to know whats up with your skin.
Widowmaker: That´s non of your business!
Kinessa aimed at Widowmaker´s head with in sniper form.
Kinessa: Too bad. Ready?
The blue sniper dodged the first bullet and dashed towards Kinessa to pin her on the ground.
Widowmaker: You don´t have a clue who I am or what I can do!
Kinessa kicked Widowmaker away and rolled backwards to get back up. Widowmaker started to shoot at her but missed. She moved up to the next building with the grappling hook, dodging the rifle shots and scratched Kinessa´s arm with a quick sniper shot. A little smile developed on Widowmaker´s face.
Widowmaker: This is very interesting.
Kinessa: Hey, people are looking at us. If we cause too much panic I can forget about the reward so I would appreciate if you just lay down and die.
She looked down on the streets and there was indeed a crowd of people who noticed the fight on the roofs. This was her chance to turn the table.
Widowmaker: Is that so?
She took one of her venom mines and dropped it from the roof. Kinessa knew what Widowmaker wanted to do and immediately jumped after the mine trowing her teleporter. She succeeded to grab the mine and teleported back before hitting the ground. But it was to late to toss it away the toxic gas expanded over the roof. Widowmaker prepared to shoot the bounty hunter with her scope aimed at the purple cloud on the building across from the one she was standing on. Out of the cloud Kinessa fired a stream of energy blasts giving her no time to aim. She came crawling out of the venom radius, coughing and growling. She was weakened from the poison but not enough to give up. On the streets she heard cheering, but not for her. Both snipers looked down to see a big and a small silhouette making their why through the people.
Reinhardt: I can see them.
Torbjörn: Lets do this.
Torbjörn and Reinhardt started to run toward the building.
Widowmaker: Damn, someone just had to call the Overwatch agents.
She transformed her weapon into sniper form and aimed at Torbjörn. The engineer slowed down and stepped behind his partner.
Torbjörn: SHIELD!
Reinhardt shielded them from the sniper bullets with his energy shield. Widowmaker decided to retreat. She shot her grappling hook at a clock tower. Kinessa grabbed her sniper and with one very accurate shot she cut through the cable of the hook and the spider fell. Widowmaker was able to slid down on the clock tower and Kinessa followed short after, trying to attack with her with a drop kick. She dodged and ran across the street to gain some distance. Many people on the street panicked and screamed. As her opponent The blue assassin started to shoot random people. Corpses fell on the ground causing even more panic. Kinessa ran into Widowmaker´s line of sight and blocked one of the bullets with her assault rifle, which made the weapon break.
Kinessa: Cut it out!
She threw her weapon at her and used the distraction to go over into hand-to-hand combat. She was surprisingly fast and disarmed Widowmaker with a punch in the face and a kick on the arm. the next strike was blocked by Widowmaker and countered with a grip and a fist in the stomach. With her free arm Kinessa sent her teleporter into the air and teleported out of the grip and dropkicked her again. This time she blocked it and threw her on the ground. The bounty hunter stood up and waited for an attack but before Widowmaker could regain fighting stance she was hit y a huge wave of fire from the side. Reinhardt with his hammer on the shoulder stepped forward with Torbjörn on his side.
Torbjörn: Excellent, my friend. A perfect knock out.
Torbjörn made sure to secure the knocked out Widowmaker and ordered a prison transporter.
Meanwhile Reinhardt turned to Kinessa and took of his helmet
Reinhardt: You have done very well. We are Overwatch agents and we have been sent to arrest the Terrorist.
Kinessa: That´s cool and all but I´m not splitting the reward.
Reinhardt: Hahaha. Don´t worry, we are the ones who gives out the rewards. But we need people like you. You can always join us in Overwatch.
Kinessa: Sorry Grandpa, but I´m having my own free business. I want my money in cash. And something extra for my destroyed weapon.
The German Knight tried to swallow this comment as Torbjörn interfered.
Torbjörn: We have no time for this now. I just got orders from headquarter. There was and incident near this town. We need to investigate that.
Reinhardt: Alright. Is the transporter ready?
Torbjörn: Yes, but if they send someone it will take more than a few guards to stop them and there is currently no one else around.
Reinhardt: Hm...
Reinhardt turned back to Kinessa.
Reinhardt: Would you like to escort the transporter? We will pay you even more.
Kinessa: No, I´m more good at hunting missions. But I know just the right person.
Reinhardt: Great, we trust you. Call this number. They will take care of your reward.
Reinhardt gave Kinessa a card with a number on it.
Reinhardt: Okay, lead the way!
Reinhardt and Torbjörn ran into the distance while Kinessa was still looking at the card.
Makoa woke up in a strange room. He was laying on a small bed. The walls were decorated with beautiful paintings. He looked to his side. Next to the bed were his anchor and cannon leaning on the wall.
Makoa: Where am I? If someone had captured me he wouldn´t leave my weapons here.
The old turtle tried to stand up. Due to the small size of the bed he rolled out and crashed on the floor. There was a sliding door. At the opposite end of the room. Before he could reach it the door opened.
Zenyatta: Ah, you are awake.
Author Note: Its done... That´s all I have to say.
