An Overwatch Fanfiction: Blackwatch

Chapter 2

I had to make a decision. Do I follow Widowmaker's orders and stay home, or do I go help them? After about 5 minutes of contemplating, I finally make my decision and decided to go help them. It is the least I can do for everything they have done for me over the last 10 years. I blinked back into my bedroom to get changed back into my regular outfit. After getting changed again, I ran down to the Artillery Room and grabbed my favorite weapon, a long dagger that doubles as a throwing knife with a magnetic retracting system. I put on the magnetic gloves that allow me to retract the knife after I throw it and exit out of the garage. I hopped on my hover-motorcycle and booked it down to the museum. Once I got to the museum, I teleported onto the glass roof. As soon as I arrived on the roof, I immediately activated my invisibility camo that was built into my suit. Widowmaker designed that for me. I looked around at the fight below me. Widowmaker make was trying to get a clear shot on the Ape and Reaper was continuously dodging his attacks. I could not find the other girl. I pressed my index and middle finger against my ear piece that, once again, Widowmaker gave to me specifically for "emergencies" a while back.

"Can anybody hear me?" I ask into the earpiece

"Evan, is that you? Right now is not the best time exactly!" Reaper responded as he continued to dodge the oversized ape's attacks.

"What is the emergency, Red?" Widowmaker spoke in her cold French accent.

"Look up," I said to the duo.

They both look up towards the glass roof where I was standing. I briefly turned off my invisibility camo, waved at them, then immediately turned it back on.

"What the HELL are you doing here?!" Reaper yelled into the earpiece.

"I saw you guys on TV and...well...let's just say you aren't really looking too hot," I responded as kindly as possible to avoid pissing off one of the two. Not that they weren't mad already.

"Well that is very kind of you, but we can't afford for you to get discovered quite yet," Widowmaker informed me.

"I am just here to scout, I swear I won't physically get involved in the fight" I promised as wholeheartedly as possible.

"Mmmm...Fine! Just don't come down here and keep your invisibility camo on!" Reaper said reluctantly.

"Thank you so much! I promise I won't let u down!" I spoke in a very enthusiastic tone.

"Ok, where are they?" said Reaper as he created a giant cloud of black smoke around him.

"Uhhh... one to your northwest and one to your south," I told Reaper.

"DIE, DIE, DIE!" Reaper chanted as he shot in the general directions I told him. The one lady with the orange leggings was forced to take cover because of Reaper's suppressing fire.

"Giant ape coming from your left and closing in fast!" I shouted just in time for Reaper to make a quick counter to the ape's attack and shoot him in the back. The ape fell to the floor with a thud and continued to lay there incapacitated. Reaper slowly walked over to the ape to give him his finishing blow but he stopped right in front of the ape's glasses that fell off moments earlier. Reaper looked down at the glasses then back up to the ape. He then pivoted his boot over the glasses and crushed them with a single step. The Ape then jumped up with fury. He turned a bright shade of red and electricity was emitting from his eyes. He then proceeded to give Reaper a massive punch to his torso which sent Reaper flying across the museum. I then looked back to where the girl in the orange leggings was taking cover. The device on her chest lit up a light blue and then she disappeared. Milliseconds later she reappeared about 10 meters ahead. My eyes could not believe what I just saw. She had the same powers as me. I was in shock. I thought I was the only one. I then began to wonder why Widowmaker or Reaper didn't tell me about her. I continued to watch in awe as she teleported around the museum with such finesse and grace. She was almost un-hittable. I was so distracted by this new mystery girl with the teleportation powers, I didn't even notice a boy about my age, maybe a little younger, sneak over to Doomfist's glove and steal it right out of the showcasing. The next thing I know, the boy punched Widowmaker with the glove, sending her flying across the museum as well. Widowmaker told me they are retreating through my earpiece but I hardly heard her. She used her grappling hook to drag Reaper and herself out of the museum, the ape and the girl followed them. They whizzed right past my invisible, lifeless body. I was knocked out of my trance. I teleported down to the floor of the museum and began to walk around observing the different exhibits. Everybody that remained was leaving the museum now. I really didn't want to go home because I knew that I messed up big time. If I didn't space out half way through the battle, we might have been able to win and finally have the upper hand against Overwatch. But I was mostly still thinking about that girl. I couldn't believe the amount of control she had over her powers. It amazed me how she never got tired throughout the whole battle . My thoughts we quickly interrupted by the sound of the front door of the museum open. I figured it was just a night guard checking in so I hid behind one of the pillars. I peeked out from behind my cover to make sure my theory was true but to my surprise, it was that girl from earlier. She teleported over to the middle of the museum and picked up a pair of orange goggles. When she rose back up, she paused. The room fell silent. My heart was beating right out of my chest.

"Did she hear me?" I thought to myself.

"Who's there?" she spoke in a sweet but firm British accent. She began to walk over to where I was hiding. As she got closer I began to panic. Just as she was just about to round the pillar and discover where I was hiding, I swiftly blinked to the middle of the museum then made my way onto the roof using the different exhibits as platforms, teleporting between them.

I heard a confused "What?" come from the mystery woman behind me then the sounds of her teleporting in pursuit of me. I sprinted as fast as I could, teleporting between buildings in an attempt to escape my pursuer but it was not enough. She was too fast. She was gaining on me and quickly. I decided I needed a new plan. Once I blinked to the next high-rise, I scrambled behind the closest AC unit and waited for the girl to catch up. Once she arrived on the rooftop, I threw my knife at her, barely slitting her calf, she fell to the floor, rolling onto her side. This gave just enough time to retract my knife and attempt to teleport back to my house. My house was about 15 km away and it took all my power to teleport back onto my bed. I immediately passed out of exhaustion. To spent to move.
