Dealing With Masked Men (Soldier 76 x Reader x Reaper)

[4]: Secretly Watched

As the night grew, your feelings sank. You decided to stay for the night but you wanted to leave the next day. You still didn't want to get attached. The place during the day time was bright, at night it seems more, suspicious.

You walked down the corridor, where you found another hallway with huge windows that stretched as long as the hallway. The view was breathtaking. You can see Dorado not too far from where you stood. The rest of the view was pure green life. Though it was dark, the moon gave the plants a wonderful glow.

You stood their a bit longer until something caught your eye. You noticed a familiar dark mist slowly making its way towards where you stood. You watched as it slip through an open window and was out of your sight.

You wanted to find the mist and as you backed up, you hit something, or someone, metallic. You instantly jumped and turned around to face what seemed to be an, omnic? "It's pretty late, what are you doing up?" His voice was a mixture of Japanese and robotic. His whole body was intimidating, you stood still, guard up in case this omnic does anything.

"I mean no harm, I always come to this corridor as well, the view is something to acknowledge here." He says as he turns to look at the view, the lightly lit view. "My name is Genji, what's yours?" You turn to face him and eye him carefully. Not wanting to start a conversation with him, you don't answer. "Quiet one, hm? It's alright, Commander Morrison already informed me about you, told me to help if you need anything."

You fidgeted a bit, remembering the dark mist entering this base. It certainly made you realize that Reaper was here and probably coming to invade for something. "You know, I was a quiet agent before too." Genji snaps you out of your thoughts, the aura around him was soothing and comforting. "I wasn't always half man, half cyborg. I was a human before, before my brother took that away from me." You glance at him, remembering how you heard that story from a friend who lives around Hanamura.

"Wait, you are the Genji Shimada?" You say and Genji turns to face you, not knowing his facial features makes you feel a little awkward. "Yes, my clan was something I am still, to this day, not proud of." You nod, understanding what he has been through. "I forgave my older brother, but he still needs to forgive himself, for what he has done to me."

"It must've been harsh for you." You say, you hoped he doesn't continue his story about him, as rude as it sounds, you didn't want to get attached to anybody. "I am sorry, but I should head back to my room and rest." Genji stares at your figure and nods. "Want company?" You shake your head. "No thank you, goodnight." You retraced your steps, following back down the quiet hallways until you reached your temporary quarters.

As the door closed behind you, you were immediately captured by strong arms. A hand was covering your mouth, while another wrapped around your waist. "If you don't wish to die, stay quiet." The voice sent shivers down your spine as Reaper held onto you. He slowly releases you and you turn towards your intruder. "What the fuck is up with you?"

Reaper watched you with amazement. He himself didn't know what was up with him. Something made him come to get you. "Come with me." You stood there, dumbfounded and your face expresses your annoyance. "Ugh! No! No. I am not joining anybody." You walk towards your bed and sit, frustrated. Reaper didn't ask for your permission in the first place, so what he did next surprised you. He grabbed your arm forcefully and dragged you towards the window. You tried to pry your arm free from his strong grip but nothing worked. "Let me go!" He instantly pulled out his shotgun and faced it towards you. A shocked gasp escaped your mouth, making Reaper chuckle, knowing that he got your control again.

"You really like getting what you want huh?" Reaper scoffs and pulls you closer to the window, what he didn't know was a certain Shimada brother was outside watching this happen. He instantly sprang to life and shot an arrow towards Reaper's hand that was glued to your wrist. Reaper was aware of his presence so what he did was he turned into his mist form, causing the arrow to scratch your wrist deeply, earning a yelp from you. Reaper then grabs you and bolted out the window, soon the bases alarms went off, aware of Reaper intruding.

Instantly, you catch Genji running behind Reaper, a man running next to him held his bow and arrow ready to aim at Reaper. Suddenly, Reaper does something to confuse his followers as he took a turn. Losing the two Shimada brothers, Reaper sighs and halts to a stop. He puts you down against a tree stump and you were holding your wrist, the blood was seeping down your arm. Reaper then pulls out some bandage wraps and wraps your cut wrist. You watched him, emotions mixed with anger and. . .guilt?

"Alright, I will come with you." You surprised yourself as you said that to the most wanted criminal in the world. Reaper though, was shocked with your response. He may seem menacing because of his mask but under it, his expressions were locked. Reaper nods then drops a bundle of clothes. "I got your suit from the top of the drawer, you should change into it now." You blush as he looks at you. You slowly grab your battle suit and stand.

"Umm. . .I will need you to turn around." Reaper didn't want to turn, he was curious. But he had to show at least some respect and slowly turned, keeping an eye out. You quickly change into your suit and place the hood over your head and your mask that covered your lips was in its place. As you finished, you felt that you didn't have your weapons, as you were about to question Reaper, he throws your spear and pistol down on the ground in front of you.

You grab your weapons and sigh as you felt comfortable in the suit. "Lets go." Reaper starts running and you follow him. It was still night time so you were having a hard time seeing his menacing figure. You stop as you caught a view of Dorado. The lights were beautiful at night and it made you remember about how unguarded the place was. You felt a strong grip on your arm and you were pulled by Soldier 76. You blink as you eye his features. "Are you hurt (C/N)?"

You shake your head but remembered the cut on your wrist. "Just this." You show him the already bloody bandage wrapped around your wrist. He sighs and nods.

"We lost him Commander." Genji comes into view, putting away his katana as he approached the both of you. Soon, the man with the bow and arrow jumped down from a tree. His features were stern and poised. "How can we trust her Morrison?" He says, his voice sounding stubborn. 

You eyed him from his head to his toes. Genji clears his throat to break the tension and faces the stern man. "Brother, you need to be kinder to our new agent." You look at Genji and back at the man, who you now know is Hanzo Shimada, heir to the Shimada Clan. You look at him as you realize that he is the one who caused his own brothers pain.

"The real question here is, how can we trust you, Hanzo?" You say out of the blue, breaking the conversation the two Shimada brothers were having. Hanzo faced you and gave you an ugly glare. "I will take my leave now." Soon, he climbs up a tree and is out of sight a second later. Genji watched his brother than turned back towards you. "Please, don't mind my brother, he can be very harsh at times but if you get to know him better, he is great company."

You sigh and look down. "I am also not a new agent, I already said that I am not joining." Jack and Genji look at eachother than turn towards you. "Well, we can't let you go soldier, you aren't safe if Reaper wants you. He will send others to get you." You didn't really care at this point, you were irritated. "At least get the rest you deserve." Genji says. You finally gave in and nod. Genji walks ahead of you and Jack, keeping an eye out for any other enemies.

"You know, I would really like to see you at the training gym tomorrow, I will be there with other agents, it can be a good chance to get to know them." You shake your head. "Alright Jack, I will be honest with you, I don't want to join neither side, my thoughts are mixed! I was perfectly fine the way I was, even if it's not much, I am at least helping the world a little." He looks at you as you both walked. He was amazed by your words. He sensed that you were losing hope for humanity and the world. He didn't want to make you lose the rest of the hope you secretly held in your heart. He wants to make you believe again.

Like how you are making him feel again.

"Listen (C/N), I want to make you believe in the world, give it another chance. People need us, they need you. . ." I need you.

"I will decide in the morning, I just want to lay and rest." Jack nods his head and you sigh, not sure how you are feeling with Jack trying his best to convince you.

Let's see how the next day turns out.
