"An Assassin?" | Hololive x Male!OC

Chapter 2: To an End

------------

In the midst of the gut wrenching silence that befell the facility, a lone man laid on the hard ground of a hill side. His long rifle switched to safety and resting at an acute angle facing the facility.

His back against the floor and his eyes up staring at the night sky, the dazzling stars, planets beyond. He laughed at entertaining the thought that his allies were probably in his sights given the information Jay had given them about their battle.

All he could really do was wait, it's not like his shot is that good to reach outside the solar system.

"I take it the raid went well?" The voice caused him to kick up and pull out his pistol.

Standing before him was a woman who's hairdo matched the light and dark side of the moon with eyes so widely open you'd think she's never once blinked....The Archiver.

"The hell are you supposed to be?"

"With the way you've seen everyone, consider me another one of those freaky women you've been covering this entire time." She walked past him, uncaring for the gun held at her direction.

"How do you even know what's going on here?"

"I know everything."

He stared at her as she walked over to the edge and sat down, dumbfounded but also tired from it all, he sighed and sat down next to her.

"And even though I know it all...I still want to see it. I was excited to watch this unfold but some things have to work out without my presence, if I want them to work out perfectly the way I want...it's a shame."

"The way you put it... I'm guessing it's all over now?" Knight asked, lighting a cigarette.

"Mhm! They should be leaving for their home right about now. And since Cyrus is out cold, he wouldn't be able to tell you." The smiled at him. "That's why I thought I'd drop by, there's some exceptions I can make to stepping into stories."

"Uh...huh.." He didn't try thinking too hard on her words. After this break he was ready to leave if that's what he's getting from all this, but...

"Is that really all you're here for?"

"Ha! Nah... I wanted to meet you anyway. Given your work and your specific talents," She lightly tapped his sniper. "You fit the mark for a few jobs I have in mind."

"I don't really do this stuff for anyone, lady. Or for free..." He took a long puff, burning away a majority of the cigarette.

"Money won't be a problem." She shifted her entire body to face him with crossed legs. "But I know you enough to realize that there's some loose ends you need to burn. I can help with that."

...

"So! What do you say?"

A dampness marked his cheek, a tingling sensation that disrupted his once peaceful sleep.

Well it was peaceful now, before he was forcefully knocked out but when he lost his consciousness his body realized that he genuinely needed the rest and shut down completely.

Until now, the moistness on his face erupted and annoyed groan from him as he lifted himself up and felt a wet object fall from his face...it was a wet towel.
