Why Does a Spider Kill?

Chapter 23

The Doomfist gauntlet. It was a thing of sheer power. It could level a skyscraper and pummel any enemy who came into contact with it. And Talon had it in its sights.

Amelie and Gabriel were waiting on a roof top and looking at the layout of the building. Amelie used her visor and checked how many people were in the museum at the moment. It didn't seem like that many people were at the museum a few adults and two children. If Amelie needed to she wouldn't care about killing them.

There had been a time where the very idea of harming a child would have sickened her to her stomach but now she didn't even have to have a second thought about it. It was just like any other mission.

"Are you sure they don't know we're here?" Amelie asked looking around feeling uneasy. She didn't know why but she felt like something was going to happen. Another thing was bothering her. A person who still had a vendetta against her,Sombra.

Reaper groaned. Amelie was still getting used to all of these missions and he supposed that after the whole Satya incident she was still on edge. "Relax Amelie, This will all go to plan."

Amelie retraced her visor and looked him straight in his eyes. "You said Sombra planned this? I don't trust her." She scoffed with venom in her voice more poisonous then that of her mines. Even without emotions towards other people she could still feel what she could only assume was unease anytime she looked around the Talon base and saw her standing, looking at her computer screen. Se only glared but never engaged in any way shape or form. Amelie just wanted to shoot her in the face already so she wouldn't have to deal with it.

"You murdered her girlfriend. She's pissed off with you but she can't do anything so shut up and focus." This mission was important to him as if he got the Doomfist gauntlet then it could ensure Talon's victory. He could imagine his using it to pummel Jack into the ground. He didn't realise that he had mumbled Jack under his breath.

"Get over him Gabriel for Christ's sake." Everyone told Gabriel the exact same thing and just like when people told him he pretended like he was and that it didn't matter so much. It did sort of but he didn't want to think about it.

"You're the one to lecture me, you wouldn't be here if you gotten over losing Lena." He retorted back. After going on a couple of missions with him, she knew how to deal with his quips. She supposed her newfound sense of humour was mostly just putting people in their place. Whether it was due to the conditioning or she had just been through so much shit she cracked, she didn't know.

"I wouldn't be here at all if it wasn't you and your-" A sudden loud boom noise took her by surprise and as she was knocked off the roof and smashed through a glass roof by an armoured primate. She shot her grapple into a wall and went into her snipers position. She turned her gun into a rifle and shot at Winston. He seemed to be trying to protect someone but she couldn't see who it was.

She kept on shooting at him but when he finally got some common sense and went to attack her Gabriel intercepted.

Winston's glasses fell off his face and while Amelie was about to take the glove she knew what Gabriel was going to do as soon as his foot was hovering over it. She glared at him not to as it would unleash his primal rage but he was enjoying the moment too much to resist. Amelie's final 'Don't you dare you son of a bitch' was ignored and as the glass shattered so did Winston's calm. He turned into the raging ape and Amelie took her sights off the glove for one second to help him.

When Reaper got his situation back under control she looked and felt a small bit of shock when the gauntlet was no longer there. She needed to find it and fast or she would be dead. She was about to look around the corner when she heard something very unusual. A small child yelling to 'watch out'. She had enough of these petty distractions and her sights were locked in one the child in the Reinhardt top. Her finger and brushed against the trigger before another voice captured her attention.
