Eyes Off Me | Chamber x Reader

{9} Blurry

Pulling on your field outfit you took a deep breath. It was time for the mission, Chamber had left earlier to get ready himself. You kind of wished he was here to ease your nerves though, as you had a bad feeling about this mission. You shook your head; things could happen on any mission, and you all knew the risk. This mission would go well you assured yourself with a smile. Brushing your hair so it wasn't messy.
The sound of your shoes clicking against the floor as you headed to the briefing room. You wondered where you could possibly be going today. The great thing about missions was being able to see and go to different places in the world. The island you all stayed on was beautiful and all but seeing the world always made you smile and want to see more. With one more reassuring thought you opened the door to the briefing room.
"A/N, you're on time for once." Brim's gruff voice spoke. You just smiled at him and sat down, your eyes scanning the room. Chamber, Jett, Skye and Viper... an interesting group you must admit. You were close with Jett and Chamber, while work out buddies with Skye. Viper always gave you cold looks so you tried to keep your distance from the snake woman.
"You're going to Thimphu, Bhutan. There are reports of people lurking around and possible scheming. It's most likely mirrors, which means there is definitely a spike. Be careful of flaming debris and possible falling objects."
There was a murmur that went through before everyone nodded, "Brimstone, do we have to worry about any people?" Viper's cold venom-laced voice spoke up.
"All people have already been evacuated. If there are no other questions; get your guns and go."
The sound of chairs being pushed back and everyone shuffling out the door to the armory was all that was left. Footsteps echoing through the halls, but everyone was silent, it was like everyone had this impending sense of dread, you didn't like it.
You grabbed your vandal, with the little frog buddy hanging off of it. It brought an odd sense of ease; it always made you smile to just stare at it before missions. Judges, Guardians, Phantoms a variety of guns taken.
The group herded onto the jet, silence as it took off. You sat next to Chamber. Jett by Skye and Viper on her own making sure her toxins were all set.
"Cherie" Chamber broke the silence, yet he spoke softly. It caused you to perk up and look at him. "Stay safe this mission alright?"
"Of course! That means you too though"
Chamber chuckled softly. "Of course, mon amour."
"Hey! A/N!" Jett called which caught your attention now. "I'm thinking that Skye could beat Yoru in an arm wrestle, what do you think?" She was grinning.
"I'd love to see that, betting that Skye wins."
"Aw c'mon guys... Yoru will probably win" The humble Australian laughed softly.
"No way, you're totally beating his ass" You assured which made Skye blush just a bit.
"I must say I agree, Skye." Chamber spoke with his smug grin. "You'd definitely beat the riftwalker in an arm wrestle, if not an actual fight as well"
"I'm flattered"

The jet arrived, everyone grabbing their gun and letting out a breath.
"I shall go A-site, I have a good view in that window with my sniper." Chamber smiled and headed off.
"I'll go with him." Viper grunted, annoyed to be with the French man yet she probably knew best how to line up her toxins.
"I'll go B" Jett grinned, "If they try and peak that window they'll be blown away!"
"Good luck Windy~" You grinned, which left you and Skye to C.
"I'll send my hound down long to check." Skye got to cover and sent out her hound. You on the other hand checked garage with no sign of anyone.
Everything was silent, no one spoke over the comms, and you swore that if someone made even a single step everyone would hear.
A shot rang out, loud and clear to everyone. "They're pushing A, I shot Phoenix in the shoulder" The thick French accent of Chamber came through, it made you worry just a bit. What if Chamber got injured? That blurry image of the male bleeding out in your arms made you stop in your tracks, collapsing onto your knees as you let out ragged breaths. Why? That had never happened before, so why was the image so scary? Skye was ahead of you so she didn't even see you collapse.
"C'mon A/N... calm down. It won't happen, he'll be fine... that never even happened" You reassured yourself before you slowly pushed yourself up and rubbed away the tears that made your sight blurry. You calmed your breathing before speaking on the comms as well. "I'm going to flank!"
A small grunt of pain came through the comms. "They got my leg." Viper growled, putting up her wall of toxins.
"I'm on my way! Just hold on and get to cover" Skye assured and rushed to Viper's aid. Skye had limited healing and could not do as much as Sage, but she was a good asset on any mission.
"There you are you little shit!" You could hear Jett up ahead as she threw her knives into Breach who fell onto the ground with a thud and blood pooling from multiple different stab wounds.
"Merde, we're getting pushed off site... back off for a bit! Let's regroup!" Chamber called over the comms, but you were already behind the enemies. You couldn't just slip past them.
The rest of your team backed off to a safe point, first making sure Viper was healed. "A/N where are you?" Jett asked.
"I'm behind them, I don't think I can make it around to you guys"
"Stay safe! We're going to push in!"
You heard the noise of the spike initiating and you winced, they'd have to hurry... they couldn't let another place fall victim to that spike... Your vandal up you slowly pushed in. Phoenix was all healed from his fire, sitting up on the crate.
Omen was up in window with an operator, scoping down long. You glanced out of sewers just to see the glint of his gun which caused a shiver to go through you. 
Sova was watching the small tunnel in the back of site, shooting out his recon dart towards your teammates. "Found two" He spoke to his team.
Killjoy had finished setting up her turrets with a smile. "All set up!"
While two of them were distracted... Killjoy and Sova. You pushed on and shot Phoenix in the head, the male falling down into a bloody pool by the spike.
"There's one on site!" Omen yelled and shot at you, just barely missing your cheek. Your breath hitched at the feeling of the cold bullet whizzing by your face. 
"Phoenix is down" You murmured over comms.
"Sova's dead!" Skye called back.
This mission was stressing you out, something bad felt like it was going to happen. Toxins came back up in a wall, concealing some vision from you but also the mirrors. Omen was no longer in window when the wall went down. "Omen isn't in window anymore!" You called out. You started heading back to see if he teleported back somewhere.

Chamber was worried, beyond that. He didn't understand why though, he had not much care for the protocol and was only using them to his advantage after all. No one was window anymore so he assumed Omen may have left or fled. Though he wondered where A/N was, but they had recently spoken over comms, so he had no reason to get too anxious. He shot Killjoy in the head, the loud sound of the bullet that came from tour de force ringing out. "Killjoy dead."
"I'm defusing!" Jett called and dashed over to the spike, soon enough it was defused, and everyone let out a sigh of relief. 
"A/N where are you, cherie?" Chamber asked with no response.

Omen had teleported behind you while you peaked into where they had landed. The cold of a bullet being shot into your back caused you to cry out in pain, vandal dropping from your hands. "Fu-Fuck..!" You felt blood pooling as you collapsed onto the grass and stone.
"Pathetic." The low voice of Omen grunted, gripping your hair to lift your head. "Why do they keep weak pests around?"
"I'm.." You panted for breath, the injury taxing your energy. "I'm not weak!" You spat at him.
"Yes... that's what they all say. But all your friends are dead. We won" He lied, yet because he always kept the same tone you couldn't tell and your eyes widened.
"You're lying...!" 
"Tsk, so pathetic. Trying to cling to hope. I will crush your hope." He let go of your hair, letting your head drop against the stone. He seemed to walk away before you felt the pressure of his boot on your back. You cried out again in pain, tears building in the corners of your eyes. Your vision grew blurry again as tears fell. The pain was getting worse as he dug in his heel.
"You will die all alone, in this place."
"Stop!" You pleaded but he ignored each plea before his boot finally let off your back and you could breathe better.
"Goodbye pest." You could hear the gun cocking, and you quickly tried to flee before you felt a bullet pass right through the back of your head. 

Your body went limp, nothing but darkness as your blurred vision became black. Chamber... you hoped he was at least okay.

Omen kicked your dead body aside, letting the blood pool before he left quickly. Knowing the rest of his team was dead, sure he lied but in his eyes he won. He crushed the life of someone.

"Cherie?!" Chamber called out, no one had seen you. Not for maybe 15 minutes, everyone was scouring the place for you. Skye had her hound out searching but there was no trace. Chamber had a sense of dread overcome him, where could you have possibly gone?
"Nothing on C" Jett said, frowning. She was worried about her friend.
"B is clear too" Viper's monotone voice called; it would be a hassle to have lost an agent.
"Cherie please!" He called out again, more frantic this time. Before he smelled the familiar scent of blood. His own blood ran cold, sweat dripped down the side of his face. No, it had to be maybe the enemy. He stepped closer before turning the corner. 

He froze upon the sight, your dead body with blood pooled around you. "No... A/N... cherie! Wake up!" he was quickly at your side, gently shaking you. "Please! Wake up! Don't go..." He begged, tears brimming the corners of his eyes. He didn't know how or why he was crying. He didn't want to get attached; it was supposed to be the other way around. But seeing you dead in his arms caused him great pain. His heart squeezed in agony as he cried softly. "Cherie please, you can't be dead..."
"Have you found anything Chamber?" Viper asked.
"They're..." his voice was breaking, "They're dead..." Silence fell over the comms before Skye spoke up. "We need to get them back to Sage immediately! Hurry here Chamber!"
Chamber was shaking, slowly he picked up your body and your gun. Remembering how you were messing with the little frog buddy on it without noticing. He took careful, shaky steps towards the jet and gently set you on one of the seats.
Skye rubbed his back gently. "They'll be alright... we just need to get back"
Jett began crying, seeing one of her friends hurt. No matter if they would get revived.

Everything was dark, cold. Alone. You glanced around at the darkness before it became the same terrifying environment. Back in Italy with people crying for help and screaming in pain as a large piece of land floated above the ground, people falling to their demise and others crushed by pieces of buildings. You looked around terrified but were unable to move despite how hard you tried. You called out for people to run but it was like you weren't there. People ran past you, through you like you weren't there, and some people got knocked over the edge by others who didn't stop in time. It was a bloody massacre that left people in shock and Italy forever changed... You forever changed. Yet you rewatched it over and over as you sobbed for someone to save you from this horrid nightmare. You felt powerless, useless, unable to do a thing for these poor innocent civilians. Why you?
