Wired for Victory (Octane x Wattson)

Where It All Started

I want to personally thank and dedicate this story to my fellow Wattane Shippers and friends from the Wattane Addicts Discord Server! They have assisted me in creating the AU and polishing the plot.

[Breaking News]

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Andrade reporting in. Welcome to Apex News. There were a bunch of juveniles arrested earlier for illegally street racing along Olympus Drive, unfortunately one of them escaped and is on the run. Authorities are on his tail and here is the chase live..."

[The TV screen transitions to an aerial view of the chase from a helicopter zooming into a speeding neon green car.]

"We got him, Williams. He's just straight ahead." The helicopter reported.

"Roger that, Hound."

"Police say that this young fellow caught them off guard and was able to escape by bolting into his vehicle. They identified him as Octavio Silva." Loba voiceovers the pursuit.

"WOOHOO!" The green haired teenager shouted on the top of his lungs as his left hand gestured sign of the horns outside his open driver window.

He sped and swerved on the highway, avoiding other cars with ease. Behind him was officer Anita Williams, doing her best to catch up to him.

"SILVA, END THIS CHASE AND PULL OVER!" Anita announced on the speaker.

Octavio scoffed. "Heh, as if I'll slow down for you." He spoke to himself and stepped on the gas. The sirens of police vehicles wailed and echoed on the streets.

They were on the highway for almost an hour now and still had no chances of capturing Octavio.

"HAHAHAHA! Catch me if you can!" He jeered.

"He's taking the Canyon exit, Williams." Hound from the helicopter informed.

"Gotcha." Anita and her group turned to the said exit.

The the area was almost deserted so it made it easier for Octavio to drive and safer for Anita and her squad.

"Damn, they're going to catch up on me." He started panicking while looking at the rear-view mirror but something caught his eye - a train.

Octavio did no hesitation and made a sharp turn towards the train tracks.

"What the hell is he doing?" Anita muttered, then she spotted the incoming train. She immediately connected to the speakers. "SILVA, STOP THIS INSTANT. YOU'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT!"

"Watch me." Octavio smirked and shifts to a higher gear.

The train was closing in and honking aggressively at the fast approaching car, aware of its presence.

"SILVA, YOU CRAZY SON OF A-"

The train's horn grows louder and just before the train and his car collide, he swiftly hovers over the train tracks and makes it to the other side.

Anita and the other police cars abruptly stop in front of the crossing train.

"HAHAHAHA! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" As Octavio celebrates he felt his car run over something. "What the heck was that?"

His car then starts slowing down. It was a spike strip.

"Nononononono! This can't be happening!" Octavio frantically shakes and bangs his steering wheel. The train finished passing by and Anita and her team approach and corner his car.
