Agent Down

You sat in the dropship, McCree next to you and across from you was Genji and Reyes, your eyes caught Reyes's, he gave you an assuring nod.

On your lap was your new rifle Reyes gave you, you hoped it would keep you safe. Something felt wrong with the armor you wore on your torso, it felt loose, but you didn't want to worry Reyes so you kept your mouth shut, you pulled a mask to cover your mouth and nose and tried to look unworried.

Reyes's Briefed you on the ship

The mission was that you needed to infiltrate this Firearm factory and steal a list of dealers from inside the main office, these dealers have been providing Talon with weapons and Ammo, they needed to be stopped as much as possible. The only thing Reyes told you, was to follow his lead and don't do anything stupid. 

You and Reyes dropped a few blocks from the factory while Genji and McCree held the perimeter. You and Reyes moved closer to the Factory, you both crouch in a bush just in front of the guarded entrance, there where two armed guards in the front. You hear McCree in your earpiece, "Perimeter secured, push forward with taking out the two guards"  you look to Reyes and nodded, you held up your silenced Rifle and took two clean shots, both hitting the guards in the head, you see McCree and Genji rush the fallen guards and quickly moved them into the bushes.

Genji looks to you and Reyes and gives a thumbs up, you and Reyes run to meet Genji and McCree. McCree opens the once guarded door and peeks inside. You all hold your breath until McCree looks back to you both and gives a nod of approval. All of you rush into the building, there was a hallway to the left and right of you, you and Reyes go right and Genji and McCree go left.

You and Reyes almost turn the corner but you hear steps approaching, Reyes peeks around then quickly moves his head back and looks to me holding up two fingers, you waited until you saw the barrel of the first gun, Reyes darts forward snapping the one guards neck while you rush the other one, you shoved you gun into his face knocking him unconscious. You and Reyes push forward till you came to the main office. 

You watch as Reyes opens the door and goes in as you follow, Reyes creeps to the desk in the room, he begins lockpicking a locked drawer while you kept watch. Reyes whispers to you "I got it, let's get out" You nod and take lead out the room.

Right as you leave the room someone grabs you into a choke hold, you feel something cold pushed against your head, it was a gun you look to the ground to see your rifle laying there. Reyes turns the corner and sees you being held at gunpoint by the factory owner, shock poured across his face.

"I knew Overwatch wouldn't mind there own goddamn business!" the man snarls 

Reyes's fingers twitched around the trigger of his shotguns that were drawn. 

Reyes grunted, his eyes dark and cold ready to kill.

You tried to think clearly, you tried to remember your training. You felt him move a little weird on to one leg, he might have a weak leg you thought to your self. 

You knew you shouldn't try something but you did anyway, just like in training when Reyes held you down, you took you leg and kicked back into the attacker's leg making him let go. You darted to your gun, you were still too much in the way for Reyes to shoot, your armor on your torso fell off, You saw the attacker's eyes go straight to your torso. The attacker took the advantage and shot, the bullet landed into the soft flesh in your torso, you let out a cry. You heard two more shots and you look up to Reyes, smoke rising off his shotguns and the attacker fell to the ground ...dead, he looked to you and then at your torso his eyes narrowed, he cursed as he picked you up. You grunted in pain.

Alarms started going off and Reyes started to run. "McCree, Genji, get back to the dropship... Now" Anger filled his voice, you were worried he was angry at you for being so reckless. 

Guards kept flooding the halls, they dropped quickly as Reyes unloaded his bullets into their skulls, you hear a distant gunshot of McCree. 

You blacked out and awoke on the floor of the dropship, Reyes was putting pressure into your abdomen to try and stop the bleeding, you started to go into shock from blood loss. 

Your whole body shook violently before everything went dark again. 

You awoke to birds singing and a nice cool breeze filling your lungs from an open window.

You were in the medical bay. 

You looked down at your torso, a bandage was wrapped around it.

You looked over to the door to your left, you heard Reyes and Morrison yelling as usual.

"How could you send a cadet on that mission with only three weeks of training Reyes!" Morrison huffed 

"I felt she was ready! It is my team, I know them" Reyes's voice began to rise.

"Clearly not" Morrison poked.

You hear a bang as if Reyes punched a wall. 

Another voice appeared it was Angela. "It is confirmed...she is recovering at an extream rate like you and Jack" She paused "She has the same substance in her that you both have" 

You heard silence then the door opened, out came the Commanders and Angela, they looked shocked that you heard everything, they thought you were still asleep. 

You looked to Reyes who still looked angry. 

Morrison turned to Reyes, "I will talk to you later about this" Morrison nodded to Reyes but Reyes just frowned at him.

Angela and Morrison left the room leaving you and Reyes alone.

Reyes walked over to you and frowned "You didn't follow orders Cadet" his formal tone caught you off guard. You looked down avoiding his stare. Reyes brought his hand below your chin and tilted your head up, you looked into his eyes, they were still cold and dark. 

Reyes turned around and without looking back "You will not be attending training for the next two weeks" before you could put your word on it he walked out.

The door slams behind him, with silence, brought tears, you let your commander down, most importantly your friendship.

The next day Angela granted you clearance to leave Med Bay

You walked back to your room, you paused before opening your door, you looked at the door next to yours, it was Reyes's, you wanted to knock on it but decided that was not a good idea.

The next two weeks you spent mostly in your room alone beside the random visits by McCree who either came to chat or brought you food. The loneliness made you feel worse and worse.

If you saw Reyes in the hall you ignored him not wanting to see the disappointment in his eyes.

McCree stopped by like normal, "You can't avoid him forever" McCree piped up, it caught you off guard as if he was reading your mind.

You looked away in denial "I am not" 

McCree laughed, it was like he could look right through your lies.

On his way out he dipped his hat "Reyes isn't mad at you, I can tell, and ever since you haven't been around he has been more grumpy" On that note McCree left.....
