Gold || Chamber x Reader (VALORANT)

Chapter 14

[Chamber]

Oh how peaceful they are.

I'm standing there, holding the bowl of cold water the copy asked me for. I'm frozen in one place, just standing and watching them together. It's as if I, myself, was next to them. This image in my head makes me kind of... melt.

"Vincent." His voice finally gets to me, pulls me out of my thoughts. I frown, hearing my own sound coming from him. I should be the only one who exists. I am the real one. He is an anomaly.

Nevertheless, I give him the bowl. [Y/n] is ill now and we need to cooperate this one last time to take proper care of them.

Chamber seems like he's reading my mind and it's honestly quite frustrating. I want to have this last bit of privacy at least in my head, but he's literally identical to me. He knows I don't want him around [y/n].

"Since when did you become so soft?" He smirked, getting up from the bed [y/n] is laying on. He grabs the bowl and goes back to the motionless body, gently placing a wet towel on their forehead.

"It's not that I became soft. I'm concerned about our future." I scoff, crossing my arms. "Our Mind Controller is down now, if they come to get us, it's over, we’re done for."

"I think the fact that we have guns might’ve slipped your mind." His whisper became soft when taking care of [y/n].

"I do not think you understand how much power they hold!" Not pouring my whole heart out is really hard. "It's not that I think we're unable to succeed, it's that we won't win against the whole agency. And they already know what we're capable of. They will not back away so fast."

He stayed silent. What an annoying ass. All I can do now is guard the apartment from a safe distance, to make sure they still haven't tracked our location down. I exit the bedroom and leave the two alone, despite it making me nervous. I close the door quietly and notice a shadowy figure standing right behind them.

Who-

I step away and that's my mistake. I get caught in a wire that shocks my system and paralyzes me for a second. Panic rushes through my veins, I try to get away from the person as the wire finally snaps - it hurts like hell.

The person chuckles quietly, approaching me and grabbing my face, checking both sides of it.

"You, out of all?" He whispers, somewhat surprised. I recognize this strange accent and it sends a shiver down my spine. "Don't worry, I made sure Kingdom will know it was you who destroyed the facility… That is, if you don't cooperate." He tilts his head, further analyzing me with blue… eyes? - that glow in the dark, almost like stars. "See? You're not so hard to catch, after all..." He chuckles. "VALORANT doesn't know, though, that I found you myself and that we're talking. I tracked you, because I think you're vulnerable. And so is the Mind Controller."

"What is your deal, Cypher...?" I question, struggling even to sit up. I feel my every muscle as if they were torn apart over and over again. The strange feeling starts very slowly fading away after a long time. The shiver attacks my body when it finally gets back to normal, but the attacker is ready for every possibility. Aiming his ghost at me, he observes how I fight the pain inside and I can hear him smiling under the mask.

"VALORANT would absolutely love to recruit you as an additional agent, but I have a better offer. I'd pay you regularly and make sure no one will track you down." He plays with his gun, so freely, as if it was a toy.

Does the copy hear us? Does he know we're in a terrible danger and took care of [y/n] already?

"What about them chasing us?" I ask slowly.

"I'll delete all the data and prove to them that it was someone else. I'll make sure you have a clear pass and maybe you could join the protocol as Chamber, not Vincent Fabron, who's been accused of terrible deeds." Crossing his legs, he points the gun at me in a playfully threatening way. "They'll forget. As soon as they have no information, their mind will automatically stop looking out for you."

This man really had everything planned. Does he know I'm not alone, though?

[Y/n]

My eyelids are just... Too heavy.

Thankfully, the migraine stopped and now I feel a lot better.

"Oh, ma belle, there you are." Chamber smiled above me, putting a fresh, cold tower on my forehead. "Thankfully you've gotten over your fever and you'll be fine in no time."

Cool.

But…

There was something off about the way he whispered to me. He seemed careful and worried. Not about me. About something that's been going on outside.

Something’s not right…

"Ah... Yes." Chamber noticed me staring at the door and nodded. "I hope it's going to be the last time I'll ask you this favor. Please, get rid of him."

Despite the fact that I didn’t wake up too long ago, I close my eyes again and I let myself rip away from my physical body. I find the man threatening the other Chamber in the other dimension and I immediately break through his thick mind wall and take control of his whole body. I trip and fall, feeling how Amir tries to fight. Now I know his name? What an upgrade. I just uploaded this information subconsciously and now it's in my head. I'm... Surprised, to say the least.

I feel him screaming in anger.

He didn't expect me to be awake.

He thought I'd be too weak to take over him.

It feels as if he was trying to push me away with his elbows. He really tries to push me out.

Chamber's staring in surprise - he clearly didn't expect me to be awake, either. I grit my teeth and finally, with the strongest hit I silence Cypher. His body is now mine.

"Wow, this dude had an attitude." I look at my hands covered with gloves. Wait… his mask smells actually nice. When I first entered I thought I'd smell something close to fish, but the ventilation system in this device is amazing. Everything starts itching after a second, and I start to scratch hard and I curse the thick fabric of his cloak. Is he a masochist?

The copy leaves the bedroom with my lifeless body in his hands and smiles warmly at Cypher. It feels like he knows it's me, not just my "spirit" controlling a body. I feel my face burn and thank this man for having a mask on.

"You know what to do." The original nods at me and I nod back.

I take out a holographic tablet almost immediately and begin to delete all the data about Fracture and our actions. Now, he has no evidence to blackmail us with.

You may wonder how I got the password? That's easy.

It all was engraved in his mind. And I, after so many hours of continuous training, am able to gather information from the darkest depths of one’s mind.

I still remember how I started out as a Mind Controller who was able to play around from the outside only…

Now, not only can I close my spirit in their body, but also steal smaller information. How long will my glory last?

"What now?" I ask, and Chambers look at each other.

"You'll introduce us to the VALORANT organization as Cypher. From there, we can establish our position and hide together." The copy smiles as if he is embarrassed that he is asking me for a favor again. What can I do? I nod only, approving of a new plan.

Shit, I was supposed to get my peace after the mission and now I'm agreeing for more?
