Chapter 32

~Talon HQ~

"Here's your gauntlet." Zeus said, dropping the gauntlet on the desk. "Excellent work, you may leave." Widowmaker said.

"Whatever." He said turning as his cloaked billowed. Zeus walked past many Talon operatives, most of them either moving out of his way or nodding. He was the highly respected operative they had, but he never cared for what Talon wanted. All he cared about was himself. Rick walked over to Zeus.

"Hey Zeus, great job stealing the gauntlet." He said. "Eh, it's just a tool Talon'll use before Overwatch stops them." Zeus replied.

"Yeah, hey, me and a few others are planning a coup de 'at. You in?" He asked quietly. "No. I don't care." Zeus said walking away. Rick glared at him before leaving. Zeus continued walking until he entered his room. He walked over and laid on his bed as he stared at the ceiling.

"*sigh* There is never anything fun to do. Just boring assignments." He said aloud. "But what Rick said, I might join. I will admit, I do have some bones to pick with Widow and Reaper. But what's the point?" He wondered. A knock was heard on the door as he called out for them to enter. The door opened as Claire walked in.

"Good evening, Agent Zeus. I'm here on regular business." She said sitting on the chair. "Here, you sit on the bed, I'll take the chair." He said standing up. Claire walked over to the bed as she sat on the mattress. Zeus sat on the chair and kicked his legs up. He pulled back his hood to reveal a scar running down his face. He had tan skin, blue eyes and brown hair.

"So, Jordan. How is your mood?" She asked. "The same as usual, nothing to report." Jordan replied.

"So, no frustration? Nothing at all?" Claire asked. Jordan looked at her and smirked. "You know me Doc, nothing new here." He said. Claire looked at her clipboard as she wrote down notes.

"Well, thank you Jordan. Have a great day." She said with a smile before departing. The door shut as Zeus stared out the window.

"I really just want to be normal. No supernatural powers, no Talon, nothing. Just a normal life." He said. Outside the door, Claire held her ear to the door as she eavesdropped.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" A voice asked, making her yelp. She turned to see Rick standing over her.

"Oh, um, hi there, Agent Acid. I was just leaving." She said walking past him before he grabbed her arm.

"Why were you eavesdropping on Zeus?" He asked. "I really wasn't, I was just..." She said before he smirked at her.

"I know about your little crush on him." Rick whispered. Claire held the clipboard to her face as red engulfed it.

"Your secret is safe with me." He said grinning devilishly.

~Charles~

"So, Orisa, how do you like it here?" Charles asked. "It has been good. I've been able to download a wealth of information." She replied. Bastion walked past the two before glancing at the robot. He walked over to them and beeped.

"Oh, greetings Bastion." Orisa said. "You know what he's saying?" Charles asked surprised. "Of course, he speaks using binary. Morse code if you would."  Orisa informed him.

"Intriguing." He said with a smile. "Glad to see you getting along with the new member." Aaron said walking up to them.

"What about you and Lena?" Charles asked. "Heh, that's complicated." He replied. "'Complicated'." Charles said, putting up air quotations.

"Okay listen here." He began before Lena barged in and jumped on him. "HI AARON!" She shouted, deafening the two. Aaron slammed to floor as he groaned in pain.
