Ordinary (Sniper Mask x Reader)

chapter thirteen

You rounded the corner steadily with Kuon, Sniper leading the way. After hearing Mayuko shout out Yuri's name, you were able to pinpoint how far she had run pretty quickly. Sniper was focused, his rifle lifted up and ready to shoot in case any potential dangers made themselves present.

You waited for around thirty seconds before Mayuko finally made her way into your view. She was running across a bridge in a hurry, and you scanned the area for any Masks.

"See anything?" you whispered to Sniper, your eyes darting around rapidly. His dark eyes also shifted quickly, his body tensing up as they made contact with another Mask. He stepped forward, getting into a more comfortable position.

"Yeah." He slowly put his finger onto the trigger, looking into the scope before muttering out an annoyance. "Jeez, yet another high school girl that needs looking after."

You rolled your eyes, but smirked slightly at the tone of his voice. You put your hands up to your ears, Kuon doing the same as he shot out two rounds. They traveled through the air quickly, one of the bullets making contact with the thing shot out of the other Masks weapon.

A large explosion burst in mid-air, and your eyes opened wide at the sight as you gaped. "Woah..."

Kuon shut her eyes tightly, looking away from the explosion before speaking up. "What was that?"

"If that's what I'm thinking it is, then is it-"

Your sentence was abruptly interrupted by Sniper, reloading his gun as he spoke. "A grenade launcher, yes. I don't know where the hell they got it." He scoffed, putting the gun back up in shooting position before venting out a slight frustration. "If he starts firing rapidly, I don't have much of a chance."

You scoffed, placing a hand on your hip before raising a brow. "Are you doubting yourself?" You received no solid response, and continued your words calmly. "I've seen your skills, Sniper. You'll be fine."

Your words seemed to instill some confidence into him, and he shot out once more. Before the bullet could hit the Mask, it hit some type of metal, reflecting off of it.

"What?" Sniper choked out, his posture faltering.

"What the hell?" you muttered, squinting your eyes at an attempt to get a better look. You were positive that Sniper would never miss a shot unless it was intended. You had seen him shoot and you were well aware of what he could do, so what just happened?

"Jeez, what a drag," a loud voice projected from the top of the building Sniper had just shot at. "I heard a fool out here running their loud mouth off. Are you one of those God Candidates? If that's the case... What a drag. I need to kill Sniper Mask. All for that person."

"Wow, what a talkative man," you grumbled sarcastically. You rolled your eyes, staring up at him with disinterest. "And who is 'that person?'"

At his last few words, Sniper seemed to tense a little. You eyed him carefully before shifting your gaze back up to the loud-mouthed man.

"Oh, well. If that old rifle is all he's got, I can repel him just fine. Hey, Grenade Launcher Mask, fire at that high school girl again. If she's another God Candidate, we have to ask about the Railgun, but I'm too lazy, so just kill her. Fire that damn thing!"

You gritted your teeth, crossing your arms in frustration. Pouting a bit, you huffed out your irritation. "What an arrogant asshole." Looking back over at Sniper, you began to tap your foot restlessly. "Show them their place, Sniper."

He nodded towards you, lifting up his gun. "Damn, guess I'll have to try now. Not sure if I can hit all the shells."

"You can do it." After saying those words, you looked over your shoulder to check on Kuon. And the moment after looking into her eyes, you could tell she was mustering up the motivation to do something big. Her phone was held close to her chest, and her eyebrows were furrowed in concentration.
