My instincts were on high alert. There was never a moment of peace for Cassidy, Pharah, or me. Since the plane landed in Romania, I couldn't help feeling that something was following us. My friends quickly noticed because my ears were constantly pricking up as I tried to tell if that presence was near or far from us.
"I can still feel it." I said seriously. That put Pharah and Cassidy very alert.
We were now at a train station in Buscarest to go to our next destination. However, at all times my friends and I had our weapons ready at all times. I gave my revolver to Pharah so she would avoid using her rocket launcher, in case of an emergency, she would use my fire sword to defend myself.
"This is starting to be a bother. Follow my steps." Cassidy said seriously as the three of us began walking through the people. Although my senses could clearly sense that something was moving through the crowd at a hurried pace.
"He's still following us. I can hear him." My statement made Cassidy even more serious.
"Follow me." Silent. Pharah and I followed the cowboy without saying a single word.
Between the people. Someone was running and pushing people aside roughly, many although they were upset by the lack of manners, some people did not give it importance believing that that person was late for a trip. But what no one knew is that that person was chasing someone.
The man turned on a scanner that was in one of his eyes to try to see the place better. But then he felt something on his back.
"For someone who works for Talon. There's no doubt you do a terrible job." Cassidy said seriously as the man prepared to shoot.
"Wait. I don't want to fight." The person in front of Cassidy tried to turn around to speak but the cowboy interpreted that as an attack and quickly punched the Talon agent in the face.
"Shut up, I know Talon's tactics when I see them!!." Cassidy shouted seriously. The cowboy's seriousness increased when the suspect dropped his gun. Before Cassidy could attack, the other guy grabbed the cowboy's hands causing the two to have a battle of strength.
"Wait, please. I want to help you, I want to help Overwatch!!." the suspect shouted with difficulty. His shoes began to glow something that confused Cassidy but then the suspicious man jumped causing the shoes to throw both adults into the air and hit the ceiling before falling to the ground.
Before the man had a chance to grab his weapon, some roots took it from him. That left him very surprised but then he noticed that Cassidy was pointing his gun at him.
"I admit that was impressive. But now, stand up, hands up and carefully, no tricks." Cassidy said seriously. At that moment the suspect heard footsteps and saw that Pharah had her gun ready and I was holding the suspect's gun.
"Listen. My name is Jean-Baptiste, Augustin. Yes, Talon came in but. I don't work for them, not anymore." Baptiste said as he looked at us but Cassidy and Pharah didn't seem to believe his word.
"Tell us about yourself, Mr. Augustin. You said you wanted to help Overwatch, why?" I asked as I approach where Baptiste is.
"Just tell me, Baptiste. Before, in my youth, I was a combat medic in Talon. At first everything was normal, from mercenary interventions to rescue missions. I accepted the job without asking questions, something I regret. As time went by During my years in there I realized that Talon did not fight to end conflicts, but to take advantage of them. So I ran away, and they have been looking for me ever since." Baptiste said looking at us.
"On many occasions I managed to escape without problems, but sometimes, they came close to finishing me off. I managed to survive and fight for my life, there are times when I think it's a miracle that I'm still alive. One day, in my fights to survive. I discovered that I am not the only person on Talon's hit list. There were more people on that list with their code names and confirmed locations."
"They were names of suspicious people who worked for Overwatch. One of those people was a woman named Angela Ziegler, or her code name "Mercy." I already knew of her humanitarian aid mission in Cairo. When I arrived, she was already gone. But there were many problems." At that moment Baptiste looked at Cassidy and met his eyes.
"You're on Talon's hit list." The cowboy clenched his fists at that statement. But at that moment, I felt a deep chill when I saw Baptiste look into my eyes.
"When I was about to come here. I intercepted a signal from Talon. I don't know who you are or what you're doing, but they're looking for you too." That statement made me look at this with fear. Pharah didn't understand why, but hearing that Talon was looking for me and seeing me scared, that made the woman feel something in her heart, but the girl ignored it, thinking that it wasn't of much importance.
"I still have the list. I can give it to you." Baptiste was going to continue but then we heard a scream and looking outside we saw some Talon soldiers.
"You have a very interesting story, but look, here come your friends." Cassidy said as he saw the soldiers while the people at the station ran away scared.
"I think they're looking for me more than you. Well, this was supposed to be their escape route, what were they going to do with me after finishing me off?" Baptiste asked curiously, looking at Cassidy.
"We didn't have anything in mind. We were improvising, but tell me. Can you do that trick you did again?" Cassidy asked before looking at the ceiling. That made Talon's former agent understand what the cowboy was going to do.
Cassidy quickly shot the ceiling at point-blank range while Baptiste was once again propelled to the ceiling to break through the wall. When I saw the Talon agents approaching quickly an idea crossed my mind to buy time and I quickly started working on something while Cassidy and Pharah went up with the help of Baptiste.
When Talon agents entered they saw that the place was empty. When one of the soldiers entered, he felt something and when he looked down he saw what appeared to be a stuffed bear with one half of its body white and the other black. The bear suddenly began to glow and laugh before exploding, leaving Talon's soldiers in a dense cloud of colors.
"While we appreciate you saving us, don't think we believe you." Pharah said seriously while the four of us are slowly moving along the path to find an exit.
"You can believe in me if you want. But right now, we need to focus on escaping here alive." Baptiste said with some seriousness, after a while, Cassidy kicked a grate of the air ducts so we could go down.
"The best way to get out of here is if the four of us cover each other's backs. Even if it's until we get out of here." The cowboy said seriously before we quickly went to hide to avoid being seen by the Talon soldiers who were near us.
"Glad to know you don't let your guard down, cowboy. Although, in Talon's records they always describe you as someone impulsive and reckless." Baptiste said in a low tone. Although that made Pharah and I laugh, Cassidy had an anime-style sweat drop.
"Really? Well, try to keep up with me." Cassidy said before we both looked for a hiding place while the soldiers continued searching.
"Look for that traitor. Once we find him, Doomfist will be glad when we bring his head." A soldier said seriously. I didn't understand, but that name Doomfist, when it was mentioned, I could see that Pharah, Cassidy and Baptiste seemed more serious than usual.
"We'd better sneak on that train. That way we can escape." Pharah said seriously while Baptiste pointed his gun at the soldiers, but especially at the drone that was above them.
"We're going to have to neutralize those Talon agents and their drone first. I'll take care of it." Baptiste said before firing at the drone. That caused the object to fall on one of the agents and causing him to fall unconscious. His partner quickly went to help but then he noticed that Baptiste, Cassidy, Pharah and I were running to the train.
"Quickly, get on. I'll cover you!!." Baptiste shouted before starting to shoot at the Talon agents. My friends went up but I decided to stay. A sniper tried to shoot Baptiste but was then knocked down by a fireball. The former Talon agent turned and saw me with my hands outstretched.
"I don't leave anyone behind. Ever." I said seriously before standing next to Baptiste.
"In that case. You better prepare yourself." The man said while in his backpack, I saw an antenna pop out before a holographic wall suddenly appeared in front of the two of us.
"Fire at will!!." Baptiste shouted before starting to shoot. I was amazed to see that the shots that passed through the wall seemed to increase its power and speed.
I focused again and quickly helped Baptiste and threw a fireball. But the moment the fireball touched the wall, I saw that my spell was shot out at high speed and when it hit a wall it generated a strong explosion that knocked us all down as if I had used all my magic in the attack.
"Ugh. Shit." Baptiste was getting up with difficulty. The explosion had not damaged him, but it had stunned him. When the man looked ahead of him, he only noticed the barrel of a shotgun and saw a heavy Talon soldier with a shotgun ready to fire.
"Last words. Traitor?." The soldier asked about to shoot. Baptiste gritted his teeth in anger, but through the curtain of fog, the man saw eyes shining. Suddenly the Talon agent was knocked down by a shadow.
When Baptiste recovered, he quickly grabbed his gun but then he noticed a turquoise glow and what he saw shocked him. He had nine white fox tails and ears, white hair, vampire-like fangs on his lips, and a bat collar.
"Baptiste. Are you okay?" I asked with concern. But at that moment I noticed that I no longer had my raincoat and quickly searched the ground before covering myself with the coat again.
"Hey, are you okay!?" At that moment Cassidy and Pharah ran to where we were. Before I could speak, Ana's daughter ran to me with concern.
"Benja, are you okay? We heard a loud explosion, what happened?" The girl asked with concern before checking me everywhere in search of any injuries. That made me blush, when Pharah noticed what she was doing, she quickly moved away from her with a red face.
"We'd better get out of here as soon as possible. I have a feeling there will be more coming." Cassidy said seriously. Everyone nodded and we quickly left the place.
After a few hours. We decided to leave the city, if Talon had been following us, chances are they would be searching the entire city. As we walked, I couldn't help but notice that Baptiste was looking at me analytically. The man hesitated a little but then sighed before speaking.
"What are you, exactly?" I stopped dead when Baptiste asked that question. He knew the question was directed at me, meanwhile, Pharah and Cassidy stopped and turned to listen.
"I am a monster. A monster from a far away place where monsters and humans live in harmony." I took off my raincoat and looked at Baptiste.
"My name is BenjamÃn Escudero, I am a student at a school called Monster High in my city. But the most important detail is that. I don't belong here." I said looking at Baptiste. That, in addition to surprising the former Talon agent, also confused him.
"What do you mean by all this?" Baptiste asked in confusion but then he saw Cassidy approaching me.
"Benja is a special case, friend. I will tell you everything, but now. Benja, something tells me that the explosion at the station was because of your power. I admit that although it was incredible, it was also very dangerous. I think we will have to start with training in the handling of weapons." The cowboy said while he looked at me with some seriousness.
"Okay but. Where can we do the training?" I asked curiously. We couldn't risk going back to the city after what we did.
"I'll think of something. But for now, it'll be better to find a place where we can stay. So, Benja. Can you give us a claw?" Cassidy asked with a smile. I nodded my head and a turquoise glow began to cover me. Slowly I began to grow and my appearance changed.
"Alright everyone. Come on up." Baptiste gasped. In front of him, there was no longer a teenager, now there was a huge nine-tailed fox.
"We'll tell you everything on the way. Now we'd better go." Cassidy said as he and Pharah climbed onto my back. Baptiste looked at me for a moment before using his boots to jump up and onto my back.
"Everyone hold on tight." I said before starting to run making Baptiste quickly grab onto my fur due to the strong speed.
At a train station. A man walked to the scene of the explosion accompanied by Talon soldiers. The man looked at the area of the explosion and then saw the injured Talon agents being treated by the doctors there. The mysterious man grabbed a piece of debris, still hot.
"Sir. The security cameras recorded the traitor with the young man you spoke to us about. Apparently, the explosion was caused by the young man's attack just before the cameras were destroyed." A Talon soldier said before showing the security camera recordings on a tablet.
"Interesting. Check the area and look for that child, we need him alive. Meanwhile, these recordings are now ours, destroy the copies. We do not want government intervention, that child is ours." The man said before leaving. The soldiers nodded and without saying anything continued with their work.
Meanwhile. I decided to go through the woods to avoid using the road, that way no one could see us. Throughout the trip, Cassidy told Baptiste about my life and I answered the former Talon agent's questions until we stopped in a clearing in the heart of the forest.
"It's almost impossible to believe this. It's something I never thought I would see or hear in my life." Baptiste said as he, Cassidy and Pharah got off my back before returning to my normal form.
"I know it's crazy, but you have to believe me. Here's the proof." I said before showing Baptiste my icoffin to show him my photos in my city with my friends.
"Very well Benja. I think it's time for your training to begin." Cassidy said before she started pulling out some empty soda cans before placing them on a rock.
"Very well Benja. These are the rules. When shooting, you must keep in mind that each shot counts, it does not matter if you have a large number of bullets left over in the magazine, you must know that each bullet is important and you should not waste."
"On the battlefield the enemies will seek death, your death. So when you pull the trigger you must know this, the person who will be in front of you will not feel any feeling of compassion in you, nor will he feel sorry for you nor will he feel sorry for you. He felt sorry for those he killed. That's where you must press the trigger and shoot."
"I know this is not like your world. I know that in your world these kinds of things are avoided, but now Benja. You are not with your own people, you are in a cruel and hostile world, where you must learn to kill or be killed." Cassidy said before giving me the gun Ashe gave me.
Was he really ready for this? While I was more than aware that my magic was capable of killing someone or many people at once, throughout my life I was trained to only protect and defend, not kill. But Cassidy and Ashe were very right, if my magic came to light. The consequences would be horrible.
Slowly and with shaking hands. I raised my gun and aimed at one of the cans, suddenly I felt something and saw Pharah taking my hands.
"I know you don't want to do it. But it's for your own good." The girl said with a smile while she helped me stay firm and with my hands fixed.
I slowly closed my eyes and sighed before pulling the trigger. A loud noise was heard and when I opened my eyes I saw one of the cans on the ground.
"Very well, boy. Continue, Baptiste. Help me with something." Cassidy said as he and the former Talon agent walked away leaving me with Pharah.
"I know you can do it Benja. Come on, continue." Pharah said before letting go of me. I looked at the girl and she showed me a smile making me relax before continuing to shoot the cans.
"Tell me Baptiste. Do you think you can help me teach Benja to shoot?" Cassidy asked as he and the doctor watched my training with Pharah.
"Why are you trying to teach him how to shoot? He's good with his magic." Baptiste said as he looked at the cowboy with a raised eyebrow.
"Look at Benja. I don't want him to be like me, I just want him to learn to defend himself, I'm aware that he doesn't want to kill and even less hurt people. But if Talon is after him, they won't hesitate to do even the impossible to have it in their hands. Not just them. Think about the world."
"Think of all the countries in the world. Benja is capable of destroying us if he wants with just a little bit of his magic, imagine, everyone after him, what they would do to take away his power or force him to be with them. I know that he can defend himself, but if we don't keep his powers a secret. Possibly the boy will be dragged to stay here, and will never be able to return home."
"I understand but. Do you think he can handle this?" Baptiste asked. Cassidy turned to look at me and saw that I shot a can. My hands hardly shook anymore and my posture was somewhat straighter.
"Well done Benja. Now reload and continue." Pharah said with a smile as the girl went to pick up the cans. I simply nodded and reloaded my revolver.
"I think it will be fine. Now, we better get going and start training." Cassidy said with a smile as he and Baptiste went to get things ready.
Can't Hold Us (feat. Ray Dalton)
Macklemore Ryan Lewis.
After my training. Now I was in front of Baptiste for my training.
"If Talon taught me anything, it's that you should never let your guard down. The enemy's shots can appear at times you never expect. Your task will be to get to the lake by going through the forest and avoiding Pharah and Cassidy's traps." Baptiste said seriously making me nod before starting to run.
Ay, ay, ay
Good to see you
Come on, let's go
Yeah! Let's go!
While I was running and avoiding obstacles such as logs and rocks, I did not notice that I passed in front of a laser trap and without hitting it, it caused some of Cassidy's grenades to explode, making me fall. When I got up I saw Pharah on top of me with his suit and he quickly fired a missile at me. Without hesitation he threw a fireball to avoid the attack but then I felt something on the back of my neck, it was Cassidy's gun.
"Again. From the beginning." The man said making me return to where Baptiste is.
Alright, alright, okay
Alright, okay
Alright, okay
Now I'm with Cassidy at the shooting test. I saw some rocks piled up before I saw the cowboy shoot quickly and accurately causing the rocks to fall to the ground.
"At the moment of shooting and seeing yourself surrounded. You must prepare for the accurate shot, you are fast, use that speed to knock down those stones. Remember, load, shoot, load, shoot. Do it quickly." Cassidy said before giving me space so I could do it.
Return of the Mack
Get 'em, what it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn't
Looking for a better way to get up out of bed
Instead of getting on the Internet and checking a new hit me, get up
I concentrated before starting to shoot and load as fast as I could, but when it became difficult to shoot and load quickly, I dropped my gun when I accidentally hurt myself with the gun while trying to load quickly.
"Raise your weapon and do it again." Cassidy said seriously. Baptiste tended to my wound before I continued.
Instead of getting on the Internet and checking a new hit me, get up
Thrift shop, pimp-strut walkin'
Little bit of humble, little bit of cautious
Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby
Now it was Pharah's turn. I was jumping between the branches while the girl was chasing me and using her gun, she was destroying the trees which forced me to keep jumping.
"Your enemies are not going to be considerate of their surroundings. You should focus on evading and dodging, I will stop attacking when you do something that forces me to hit the ground." Pharah said before continuing to shoot. I quickly had to react and continue jumping but in an oversight, the girl managed to make me fall when she used a propellant missile.
"again!." I just nodded silently and continued on my way.
Sweater game, nope nope, y'all can't copy
Yup, Bad, moonwalking, this here is our party
My posse's been on Broadway, and we did it our way
Grown music, I shed my skin and put my bones
Into everything I record to it and yet I'm on
Somewhere else. Ashe was busy watching recordings from her home's security cameras on one screen when she visited while on the other screen there was a prototype of weapons very similar to her rifle and her sawed-off shotgun. Everything was seen by Bob who also seemed to be curious.
Ashe looked at a picture of me with my Kitsune limbs for a moment and then looked at the prototypes before continuing to work.
Let that stage light go and shine on down
Got that Bob Barker suit game and plinko in my style
Money, stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds
But I do that to pass the torch
I was once again in the forest running while using my instincts to see my surroundings, I sensed a trap and quickly dodged it but I never noticed that Cassidy threw a grenade at me causing the explosion to knock me back.
"Don't trust your surroundings, boy. Expand your senses more, don't be a hero, be a predator." The cowboy said seriously making me nod before continuing.
Trust me, on my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T shit, hustlin'
Chasing dreams since I was fourteen
With the four-track, bussin'
Halfway cross that city with the backpack, fat cat, crushin'
The training lasted until sunset. Unfortunately my weapon was damaged so Cassidy advised me that I should learn what was necessary to be able to repair my weapon in case it were damaged.
Labels out here, nah, they can't tell me nothin'
We give that to the people, spread it across the country
Labels out here, nah, they can't tell me nothin'
We give it to the people, spread it across the country
I looked at a photo of my family in Metropolis for a moment making me sober before I started repairing my weapon with a holographic video with the proper instructions for the operation of my weapon. At that moment I thought of something and quickly started playing videos of Parasoul and me in our battles in Metropolis.
Can we go back? This is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
I quickly began to repair my weapon and once finished I began to aim like Parasoul does, before starting to practice. Without realizing it, Cassidy, Baptiste and Pharah were watching me train alone in the moonlight and in silence.
Can we go back? This is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
When the sun rose. I continued with my shooting training but this time I was using the stances that Parasoul used as well as quick movements making my aim improve.
Now, can I kick it? Thank you
Yeah, I'm so damn grateful
I grew up really wanting gold fronts
But that's what you get when Wu-Tang raised you
Y'all can't stop me
My eyes sharpened and my senses remained on high alert. As I ran through the forest, I began to dodge Cassidy's multiple attacks and her traps until I reached the lake.
Go hard like I got a 808 in my heartbeat
And I'm eating at the beat like you gave a little speed
To a great white shark on Shark Week, raw!
Tell me go up, gone
Ashe was watching his company's omnicos make something with Bob. When the woman approached a table she saw with her eyes the prototype of her. A rifle just like his, the barrel decoration had the image of a white fox, the finish was made of wood and the stock was comfortable. Ashe smiled and looked at her butler before giving her a signal making Bob walk away from her.
Deuces, goodbye, I got a world to see and my girl, she wanna see Rome
Caesar'll make you a believer
Nah, I never ever did it for a throne
That validation comes from giving it back to the people
He was again dodging Pharah's attacks. The girl was following me but then she lost sight of me for a moment, when I least expected it, she was knocked down causing her to fall to the ground. When she looked ahead, she saw that I was on all fours in my Kitsune transformation before returning to my normal form.
Now sing the song, and it goes like
Raise those hands, this is our party
We came here to live life like nobody was watching
I got my city right behind me, if I fall, they got me
Learn from that failure, gain humility and then we keep marching, I said
I improved my aim, I improved my tracking skills and my way of surprise attacking, but there was only one problem. My rate of fire was not effective enough, no matter how much I tried to increase the speed of my shots, the result was the same. Of five rocks, he could only knock down a fourth.
"Do it again, Benja. Remember, you must keep your body calm and your eyes fixed on the target." Cassidy said seriously while I loaded my gun again.
Can we go back? This is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Another night. But this time it wasn't to repair my gun, it was to improve my rate of fire. Again and again I continued trying despite the injuries to my hands every time my hand got stuck to perform a quick reload. I didn't care about that, I needed to improve.
And so we put our hands up
And so we put our hands up
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The sun was rising. Hands were bandaged as I looked at the rocks in front of me. I closed my eyes and began to channel my speed into my hands. I decided to try something and slowly my hair started floating due to my air magic.
Let's go!
I opened my eyes and immediately started shooting at high speed causing the rocks to be knocked over, I immediately started loading my gun and continued shooting at the rocks before giving one last shot that took a petal off a flower.
Na na na na, na na na na
Hey-ee ay-ee ay-ee ay, hey
And all my people say
Na na na na, na na na na
Hey-ee ay-ee ay-ee ay, hey
And all my people say
Na na na na, na na na na
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
And all my people say
Na na na na, na na na na
Mack-le-eh-eh-eh-eh-more!
"I did it...I did it!!." I started jumping for joy before dropping to the ground while laughing with happiness. Everything was seen by Baptiste, Cassidy and Pharah who had woken up to continue training. But they smiled happily when they saw that he improved greatly in a week.
Can we go back? This is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Ashe was busy on her computer looking at reports of her work until she then heard someone enter. When she turned around, she saw Bob with a pencil case. The woman smiled and looked at her omnic friend.
"I want to see it." Bob nodded and opened the case. What was inside the case brought a smile to the woman's lips.
Can we go back? This is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
"He's ready." Cassidy and Ashe said at the same time without realizing it. The cowboy was watching me being congratulated by Baptiste and Pharah, while on the other hand, the woman walked to her table to do something important while Bob left with the case.
The day continued. On the advice of my friends, I went to sleep while the rest of the team talked about our next stop.
"I don't feel safe with this decision. Are we really going to leave Benja alone?" Pharah asked with concern looking at Cassidy.
"I know it sounds crazy, but believe me. If we split up, we will be able to cover more ground and we will be able to recruit agents as quickly as possible. Ana gave us the location of many candidates, I think we can make the most of this if we at least We divided into groups." The cowboy said seriously but that made Baptiste hesitate.
"I know Benja can defend himself. But what will happen if Talon finds him? I mean, the boy can defend himself now with his weapons, but he won't be able to do it forever. At some point, he's going to resort to using his Magic." Cassidy turned to see me after Baptista's statement, the former Talon agent's question made him think before sighing.
"It's not like we can do anything about it either, Benja's magic is part of him. If he is in danger or at a disadvantage he is free to use it, too. What we teach him is to defend himself, not to kill. " Cassidy said before looking at Baptiste.
I was sleeping peacefully until I was woken up by my cell phone. When I saw it, I noticed it was a call from Ashe.
"Hello, Ashe? I didn't expect you to call so soon." I said with a yawn while on the other side, I heard the woman laugh.
"Sorry if I woke you up, sleeping beauty. But I need you to come home, I have something for you, and don't make me wait." Ashe said with a smile while the girl was drinking some coffee.
"I understand. I'll be there soon." I said before ending the call before getting up to go to Cassidy and the others.
"Benja, what are you doing up? You should be sleeping." Pharah said in surprise as I approached.
"I'm sorry but. Ashe called me, she says she has something for me." I said looking at everyone. Ana's daughter didn't understand why, but for a strange reason when I said the name "Ashe", the gender was something strange but she ignored it, believing that it was nothing important.
"Wait. How does she have your number?" Cassidy asked seriously, making me laugh a little nervously.
"Well. What happened is, when I was going to leave, Ashe told me to give her my number, that way we would be in contact and she could call me to teach me how to improve my aim." I said with a shy smile. But then I was startled when Pharah hit the ground near me.
"I don't think it's necessary! Umm, I mean. Now your aim is better, right? I mean, now you're faster at aiming and shooting." The girl said with her arms crossed. She didn't know why she made that movement, it was as if her body had moved on its own.
"Although I don't want to admit it. Ashe has perfect aim, she does help Benja so that her aim is as good as Ashe has. In that case it is possible that she is on par with a sniper." Cassidy said seriously before looking at me.
"You can go see her. But remember, don't let your guard down. Ashe may be helping you now, but you better keep your senses on alert in case she tries something. Understood?" The cowboy asked seriously making me nod.
"Yes, I'll be back soon." I said with a smile before flying away. That impressed Baptiste very much as I was leaving. However, the former Talon agent's surprise disappeared when he remembered something.
"Wait. You won't tell the boy that you plan to leave him?" Baptiste asked in surprise but then he and Pharah noticed that Cassidy touched her forehead.
"I have something to do before that. I need to be alone, in the meantime, pack everything." The man said before going somewhere to be alone. Pharah and Baptiste looked at each other in confusion before they started packing.
When I arrived at Ashe's mansion, I knocked on the door and was immediately attended to by Bob. The omnic looked at me for a moment before letting me pass.
"Thanks, umm, Bob right? Where's Ashe?" I asked curiously. The omnico at that moment signaled for me to follow him so I followed Bob until we reached the backyard.
"Well, well. But if it's my favorite fox, come on sit down. Bob, get something to eat." Ashe said while the woman was sitting under a tree at a table. The omnic obeyed and left while I approached where the woman was, but then I noticed a case on the table.
"Did you call me to train?" I asked curiously while Bob placed some cups of tea on the table and some plates with toast with jam.
"Oh not exactly. In fact, I have something for you." Ashe said with a smile before opening the case making me see the contents.
Inside was a rifle similar to Ashe's, the barrel was adorned with images of claws and a fox head on the barrel, the grip and handle were made for a comfortable and firm grip, the sight on the weapon was the same as the one on the woman used. I could also see that there was a sawed-off shotgun, the barrels were silver, the grip was comfortable and ideal for one-handed use.
"As you see. I took the liberty of making some weapons for you, it's basic but I'm very sure that with these toys you will save yourself on more than one occasion." Ashe said with a smile as I grabbed the rifle and when I brought the stock closer to my arm, I saw the scope activate.
"Oh, and I almost forgot." At that moment I saw Ashe giving me some fingerless gloves. When I put them on, I was very surprised to see that the gloves had the same skull as my Icoffin.
"Guns may have a comfortable grip finish, but that doesn't mean that when you're out in the cold or rainy weather your hands will be able to hold them." The woman said with a smile while I put on the gloves. They were soft and comfortable.
"Thanks Ashe. I, I don't know how I'll be able to pay for this." I said in amazement making the woman laugh.
"Nothing is free in life, dear." The woman was going to continue talking but then Bob approached with her cell phone.
"Give me a minute." Ashe stood up and grabbed the cell phone from Bob's hands. The woman thought it was possibly a call from her colleagues or someone important, but the voice that was heard on the other side made the woman's blood boil.
"Hi Ashe. How long." Cassidy said from the other end of the line with a friendly smile. However, her tone of voice did not relax the woman, but rather made her angrier.
"You're too brave to call me, you fucking filthy snake. Now you better give me a good reason to call me, I'm busy." Ashe said seriously. Cassidy sighed and put down her cigarette to speak.
"Listen to me. I'm busy right now, I have friends to see and Talon will most likely be after me, they want Benja and for now, they think he will be with me, I need you to help him." Cassidy's statement made Ashe look at me and then I returned to the talk.
"And what makes you think I'll do that? I'm not a babysitter." The woman said seriously, making the cowboy laugh.
"I know not. But Benja is going to need help, he wants to bring Overwatch and I'm helping him, but with Talon following in our footsteps it will be difficult. All you have to do is keep Benja hidden and help him find the rest of the team. After this, you won't owe me anything and I won't call you again." Cassidy said seriously making Ashe think for a moment.
"Fine. But once this is over, I don't want to see your ugly face crossing my path again. If Benja is going to stay with me, he'll have to follow my rules and do whatever I want." The woman said with a smile. That made Cassidy sigh with some annoyance.
"I'll regret it later. Alright, Ashe, Benja is yours. Just try not to get him into trouble." The cowboy said seriously. Internally, the man was questioning his decision.
"I won't promise you anything. But I'll do what I can, goodbye Cole." Ashe said with a smile before hanging up and then walked up to me.
"Well? How about your new weapon?" The woman asked curiously making me look at Ashe.
"It's very comfortable. I feel and very precise, it's. Incredible." I said amazed. Honestly, if the black herons had these kinds of weapons, Parasoul would not hesitate to make business deals with Ashe.
"That's called "quality." And you know perfectly well that this kind of thing isn't free. If you really want to thank me for my work and investment of materials, you'll have to do something for me." Ashe said with a smile making me look at the woman curiously.
"Sounds fair. What can I do?" I asked curiously. The woman looked at me for a moment and then remembered the talk with Cassidy.
"You must let me help you with your quest. I'm not interested in Overwatch, but if you want my weapons, you're going to have to prove to me that you're worthy of having them in your hands. Only those who are good deserve my job." The woman said with a smile making me nod.
"I understand. Well, in that case we can go with Cassidy, we have a group and." I was going to continue talking but was interrupted when Ashe started laughing.
"Oh honey, no. Cassidy's out of this, I said I'll help you, but only you. It's either that, or leave what I'm offering you and go alone." The woman said with a smile. I looked at my weapons for a moment and then sighed.
"Okay. What will we do first?" I asked curiously. Ashe looked at Bob for a moment and then at me.
"Bob, take Benja to get him some new clothes, he's going to need something else, suitable." The woman said with a smile. Bob nodded silently before leaving with me. When Ashe was left alone, the woman saw her cell phone receive a message from Cassidy.
"I'll leave you a list of countries you and Benja could go to. Good luck, and please try not to start fights." Ashe rolled her eyes after reading the message and put her cell phone away before leaving to pack. This was just the beginning of a long journey.
Somewhere else. Sombra was seen walking to a room, when she entered, she saw that Reaper, Moira, Widowmaker and the other person from last time were gathered again and seemed to have been waiting for the hacker girl.
"What's up." The girl said with a relaxed smile before sitting down at the table in a relaxing manner.
"You saw the video I sent you, didn't you?" The man who was looking at the screens watching videos of me asked in an analytical manner.
"How not to. I am amazed by its destructive capacity." Sombra said with a smile looking at the last video which was from the security cameras at the train station.
"With that power. I'm sure we can accomplish unimaginable feats, but we must do our best to keep him away from Overeatch. And I think, perhaps, we're going to need your help, Sombra." The man said with a smile. The girl smiled when she knew the plan and stood up.
"I'll leave right now." the girl said with a smile before leaving. That made Reaper look at the man in front of the computers.
"You trust her too much. How will we know she'll make it?" The man asked coldly, making the other person laugh.
"Patience, Reyes. Trust is earned, over time. It's impossible to get that boy to join us quickly. First, you have to earn his trust, that's where he will let his guard down, and once that happens. Just It will be a matter of time. Very soon. Talon, he will be unstoppable and with that boy in our hands. No one, not even Overeatch will be able to stop us." The man said with a smile as everyone in the room smiled.
