"I'm a Healer, but..." [Arknights x Male Reader Insert]

Episode 2 - 2: First Step

"According to Exusiai's data, our mission target should have been staying somewhere around here..." Amiya said on the Doctor's back, his ability active as he hung from the ledge of a building in the bustling street of Lungmen. "Ugh, the terrain around here is really complicated. If we were doing this alone, this assignment might have been quite troublesome... Luckily, I got in touch with Penguin Logistics beforehand..." Amiya said before Doctor jumped up and on to the roof.

He hopped over to the next, before Amiya's ears twitched.

"Over there!" Amiya said making the Doctor land and see where she pointed, a unhappy rioter harassing a kid. The Doctor jumped over the street from above and landed on the next row of buildings.

"Baddies! You bunch of baddies! Let go of me! Let... go!" A kid yelled. "Tell me! Where'd she run off to? Stop playing dumb!" The rioter shouted. "Sister! Sister! Where are you...! Help!" The kid screamed for help. "Sister Misha! Sister Misha, save me!" The kid cried.

On que, Doctor landed behind the rioter and grabbed his collar, before turning and slamming him against the wall. Amiya ushered the kid to run, and they did as asked. The rioter looked at Doctor's glowing eyes and then at Amiya who glared at him.

"You should leave right now if you know what's good for you." Amiya spat. "Who the hell...?!" The rioter shouted in fear, still pinned to the wall by only Doctor's grip. "You don't look like you're from around here! You're not afraid of us..." The man observed, before Amiya rose her hand, her Dark Matter swirling to her palm, and Doctor lifting the rioter towards it. "Otherwise..." Amiya began, making the man scream.

"Aaaagh! Arts! Sh-She's using Arts?! Stay away from me!" The man said thrashing around in Doctor's grasp. "Next time I catch you bullying the defenseless, you know what comes next." Doctor said glancing back at Amiya. Doctor dropped the man and lightly kicked his rear as the man ran away in fear, screaming 'monsters!'

"Everything will be okay. You can come out now." Amiya said looking at the exit of the alley. The same kid the Doctor saved stepped out timidly. "It's dangerous here. You should hurry and find some place safe." Amiya said with a smile. "Thank you, ma'am!" The child said, running down the street and towards some other kids. "Take care!" Amiya shouted, before sighing.

"Amiya, what's going on?" Franka, a woman with long pink hair and fox ears asked. "Hm, I saw an Infected just now, probably unregistered..." Amiya informed. "From Ursus?" Franka asked. "Yes. She was headed deeper into the slums. Franka, gather the nearby operators." Amiya informed, but the Doctor didn't know that's who he was chasing before, just followed because Amiya said so. "Okay." Franka said with a nod, leaving the alleyway.

"The deeper we head into the slums, the more volatile things are going to be... There are ordinary civilians, criminals, and refugees all mixed together. We'll have to make thorough preparations." Amiya said before looking worried.

"You've barely said a word. Are you okay?" Amiya asked. "Me? Yeah. Just tired." Doctor said with nod.

"Amiya, we have incoming comms. Please wait a second." Liskarm, a Defender announced as everyone arrived, making the two walk out to the street. "...That's right... Amiya, it's the L.G.D." Liskarm stated. "Was that Madam Ch'en?" Amiya asked. "Indeed... That's right. We've already found a number of unregistered Infected... Yes... What? We're after an Ursus girl, short white hair, height about 145 cm, called Misha?" Liskarm questioned, making Amiya and the Doctor glance at each other. "Understood. Amiya, Madam Ch'en wants us to immediately search for the Infected just described. Once we find her, we are to turn her in to the L.G.D. immediately." Liskarm informed.

"Can I speak to her please?" Amiya requested. Liskarm handed Amiya the phone, and Doctor could now hear both side's response.

"Hello, hello. Madam Ch'en can you hear me?" Amiya asked. "I hear you." Ch'en replied. "Can I confirm the validity of that order?" Amiya asked. "100% valid, effective immediately." Ch'en said sternly, before hanging up. "I see." Amiya said with a nod.
