decaying winter Perk And Other Ideas

lore: blindsided.

*after the fight with Gatekeeper*

the Agents were exhausted, running from the continuous gunfire from the castle, luck would have it no one was majorly injured.

that's not to say the wounds were pretty.

mute was covering his left eye, blood pouring from his eye, a large slash not even his hand could fully cover.

the point where Gatekeepers sword pinned six to the wall was rapidly bleeding, but miraculously he didn't sustain any broken bones.

the other injuries weren't as severe as these two, but alas the wolves retreat to lick their wounds, to fight another day. 

six being his usual selfless...self, shrugged off his injuries to try and assist mute with his eye.

however mute was very unusually panicked, unable to keep still.

six: "Mute Jesus are you alright?! here, hold still I'm going to check the wound" 

mute signed: "I just need a moment, worry about yourself" (mute learned sign language) 

six: "look just let me take a quick peek alright? just, try to keep still"

Mute did his damned best to calm down, managing to be still enough for six to look at his injury.

six:"shit... uhh unless you're into eyepatches like Sokoloff that's going to need to be replaced with a eyepiece" 

Sokoloff: "I'd rather have one good eye than lose both for some tech"

six used some cloth from his bag to make a makeshift eyepatch to reduce the bleeding, however mute remained panicked for some reason.

Sal:"I've never seen mute of all people panic, you sure you're okay dude?"

mute waved them off, probably just the adrenaline messing with him...

Mute got lightheaded, slowly losing consciousness .

Sal: "He's losing consciousness!"

six: "no, its fine, the bleeding is controlled, he's just resting" six said using what was left of the cloth to bandage his own wound.

FLASHBACK.

Den City XX90

(Rising Dawn Weapons shop)

Mute was running his Armory, wondering what kind of business would walk in today, a normal person buying a gun, or shady work from organizations fighting their little wars. 

the door opened.

Mute: "hmm, welcome, what do you need?"

Mute looked up from his book.

a man wearing a fancy outfit and shades responded "you know what I'm here for" 

Mute looked at the person for a second thinking...

Mute: "oh yeah, that Order for custom weapons, I'll get it for you"

from under the stand Mute retrieved two briefcases presumably holding the weapons.

Mute: "built to your specifications, untraceable parts, reworked recoil compensator to reduce the defiance almost completely, and that "special ammunition", you know my rules, you didn't get this from me, we never met."

Figure: "of course"

they handed mute their own briefcase, opening revealed large sums of money.

Mute: "cheers, now scram."

the figure left the Armory.

Mute lightly laughed.

"dumbass"

Mute grabbed his phone and called an anonymous number.

???:"is it done?"

Mute: "your friend got the dud package, the moment they pull the trigger their special bullets will detonate"

???: "we don't know how they found out about us ordering from you, but I have to say that was quite the plan, don't worry we found the real package where you specified, thanks to you we can finally turn this around against them"

Mute: "you did this yourself, I'm just, "the gunsmith" not a contributing member to this"

???: "right right, well I'll be in touch if anything arises" 

Mute: "sure"

WAKE.

Mute shot awake, a headache bothered him, putting his hands against his face he felt something odd, metallic. 

Soken: "oh, hey you woke up"

Mute was relived to see something nice for a change.

Mute signed: "hey Soken, what is this?"

he pointed to the metallic thing on his face.

Soken: "that's your new eyepiece, whatever hit you're eye burst it, there was no other choice, but on the bright side, it looks pretty cool" Soken Smiled to mute.

mute appreciated the calm aura Soken held, and he has to admit, it dose looks pretty cool.

Mute signed: "I always wondered, why only one lens? if were taking away both eyes why not have two lenses to see from?"

Soken: "your guess is as good as mine, but best bet would be the agency trying to save costs as per usual, oh don't worry about being bed ridden, you should be in perfect condition to move"

even so, Soken offered her hand incase mute felt weak, mute accepted even though he was fine, instead using the gesture to pull her into a hug.

Mute: "this place would be a mess without you, you know"

Soken: "I don't doubt that, the city was a mess on its own anyways"

Mute stood up, before leaving he pulled soken into a short kiss.

Soken: "alright, I still got some people to assist right now, distractions would not be the best thing right now" Soken had a tiny blush.

mute chuckled before walking away, after giving soken a head pat.
