Hazelnut Lattes and Stolen Blueprints Chapter One: Toxic Barista

Note: Hey! I gave Killjoy a name that other people have also been using, "Emery" to also refer to Killjoy. If their name gets revealed later in the lore I will be sure to change it to fit with the lore. The lore isn't as solid as I would have liked, but I tried to stay as close as I could to the lore of VALORANT while also incorporating some non-lore elements into the story! Also, coffee shop ideas have my whole heart, so here you guys go!

Killjoy entered the local coffee shop early one rainy morning and sat down ready to start her project. Lots of ones and zeroes, just how Killjoy enjoyed it. Words confused her, especially after moving to the United States. Her adoptive father, Brimstone, was currently investigating a lead in Seattle, so of course, being the adventurous person she is, she tagged along. And kept working on her new plan for a device to revolutionize the battlefield, and instead of killing, they can instead capture. Which would lead to significantly fewer deaths in wars and battles between countries across the globe. People would be able to go home to their families, instead of being killed by a missile strike.

Killjoy called it the "lockdown" which would detain anyone within a certain radius. Brimstone loved the idea because he hated ending lives as much as Killjoy did. Killjoy and Brimstone agreed that her previous version, the "spike," was to be scrapped; it had more power than a nuke in the wrong hands. So Killjoy deleted the device's coding and threw the blueprints into her safe, where it would never see the light of day again.

After working on her lockdown blueprints for a solid half an hour, Killjoy decided to grab a coffee. She walked up to the counter and waited in line with two people ahead of her.
Of course, that's when she saw the prettiest woman she's ever seen. She had long black hair up in a ponytail, horn-rimmed glasses, and piercing green eyes. She was astounding, Killjoy watched as she took orders in the plain dark green uniform, a lot of dull colors for someone so captivating. Though she hadn't realized that time was moving faster than her brain at the present, and both customers had been helped ahead of her.

"I can help the next person," her voice was as sweet as nectar, and Killjoy walked up to the counter still not thinking clearly.

"Um, hallo, I was wondering if I could get a hazelnut latte with oat milk please,"
"Sure, that'll be 3.75," Killjoy looked at her nametag, God she was blind even with her heavy prescription. The name was written neatly, each stroke deliberate,

Sabine

There was only one design on it, and that the S on one end was a snake. Killjoy smiled as she handed over the money and took her change.

"Danke , Ms. Sabine," Killjoy tumbled over her words slightly, her ears flushing as the barista just smiled softly before asking someone else to take over the register and headed to the drink station and began working on the orders on the screen.

Killjoy went back to her seat and sat flustered, she was beautiful. She tried to focus on her blueprints again, but she couldn't for some reason, instead she just tapped her pencil on the table staring off into space.

Sabine was the only person on her mind, for the time being, her raven hair, piercing green eyes, everything about her was stunning.

Still, in her delirious dreamscape, she failed to hear her name being called.

A hand waved in front of her face, the other hand held a ceramic coffee mug, which looked exactly like her usual order—
"Oh, mein gott, I'm so sorry," Killjoy said, looking up to see the very same person she was thinking about just then, Sabine's demeanor was nonchalant as if she had done it many times before, well of course she had, she was a barista for heaven's sake.

"No worries figured you were thinking," Sabine smiled softly before placing it on the table. "just needed to bring you your latte."

"Dank-thank you!" Killjoy slipped over her words, multitasking between her blueprints, coffee, and the gorgeous woman in front of her, which earned a light chuckle from the barista.
