Chapter 26

"Easy now Angela, I'm here." Charles said helping the Doctor to her feet. After a few weeks, Angela was fully recovered thanks to the efforts of Zenyatta, Ana, and Lucio.

"I'm fine Charlie, but thank you for being there for me." Angela said smiling at him. "It's no hassle my dear, your safety is my only concern." Charles replied.

"How cute." Lucio said grinning at them. "Glad to see you feeling better Miss Ziegler." Aaron said leaning on the doorframe.

"I'm glad to see you doing well Arsenal, or would you prefer 'Manhattan' instead?" Angela asked with a smirk.

"Arsenal!? Wait, you're the vigilante?" Lucio asked in surprise. "Yeah, that's me." Aaron replied. "Whoa, I didn't know." Lucio said.

"Now that we got the introductions done, Angela, me and Charles found out more about Project Avatar." Arsenal said.

"I had thought that project was destroyed in the past. When we thought Fire and Snow were the only ones." Angela said lowering her eyes to the floor.

"I did too when I thought we had killed Fire. I thought wrong, it seems now they want to continue where their predecessors left off." Aaron replied nodding his head.

"Well, at least we have something to counter them." Ana said looking at Charles. "Perhaps, but we'll need my mom and dad if we are to stand a chance, most likely they have changed the pattern up and have spawned more of those elementals. Usually with more enemies, they tend to overwhelm their intended target." Charles said.

"Like the droids vs the clones in the Clone Wars series." Lucio chimed in. Everyone looked at him with a confused look.

"What? I don't just focus on music. I watch TV in my spare time." Lucio said crossing his arms. "Anyways, we've tried to locate more of their bases that house this projects, but it's been a futile effort." Charles said.

"Not necessarily futile, Lawson and the Unit have been working overtime to find these research plants. So far, we've found 5 of them." Aaron said.

"Great, let's get on the offensive and take them out." Charles said. "Easy there bonehead, we need to figure up a plan. Divide and conquer. We need to be smart and make teams to take out each of them." Aaron retorted. Charles sighed and nodded.

"It'll be better if everyone heard this, let's call a meeting in the rec room." Ana said as the group left and entered the rec to see Hana and Genji playing Battlefront, Reinhardt was reading a book before waving hi to the assemble group walking in.

"Athena, call everyone into the Rec room please." Charles said. "ALL AGENTS, REPORT TO THE RECREATIONAL ROOM." The AI said in the speakers. After a few minutes, the agents grouped up and looked at Aaron and Charles. The Unit and Lawson stood near the door.

"As we all know, Project Avatar is back in full spring." Charles said. Some murmured here and there before Ana silenced them.

"Thanks to the efforts of the Unit and Lawson, we've managed to find 5 of these research plants holding the serum. For us to be successful, we'll need teams of four to attack them each and individually. Junkrat, Roadhog, Ana, and Mei, you'll be team 1." Charles said.

"Got it." "Understood." "I copy." "I'm ready mate! Haha!"

"Jack, Hana, Bastion, and Reinhardt. You'll be team 2." The group nodded.

"The Unit and myself will be team 3, Genji, Winston, Zenyatta, and Lucio you'll be team 4. The rest will stay on the dropships as reinforcements should any of us require it. Ready?" Charles asked. The group nodded as they left for the hangar. Charles looked over to see Aaron and Lena talking before Aaron blushed and nodded. Lena smiled brightly and pecked his cheek before leaving. Charles pretended not to see anything as he tried his best to hide his smile.
