On your way to another mission but this time, it's only you and reaper. You have never been alone with the terrorist Reaper before and you were worried that something will "happen" on the mission that results in you being dead. 

You and him were flying to Russia to steal some top-grade micro bombs from a factory, it was supposed to be an in and out stealth mission.

The dropship lands on the roof and you and him disappear into the shadows of the cold snowy night, you both take separate halls, one lead to the bomb factory floor and the other lead to a computer lab. You took the hall to the computer lab, Sombra gave you a device that allows you to steal the contents on the computer to give to her later. Reaper is heading to the bomb factory room to steal a few so Talon can learn to replicate them. 

"At the bomb holding room, let me know when you started your task" Reaper snarled through the radio. You rushed towards the room but you had to duck into the shadows a few times to avoid being caught, you knew this delay could ruin everything, "Hurry up!" Reaper snapped. 

You began to sprint to the computer room, you see a door that looked like the right one, you peeked through the window of the door and you saw no one so you ran straight to the computer inside and slammed the device into the side of the computer and it began to download. 

"97%" you yelled through the radio but instead of a reply from Reaper you heard sirens going off, "Shit" You whispered under your breath. "What's happening Reaper" You yelled as you took the completed device out of the computer and into your belt. 

You sprinted down the hall in search of the now in trouble Reaper, two guards appear as you turn a corner but you didn't hesitate. You grabbed one into a headlock while you kicked the other guards gun away, you quickly snapped the guard's neck that you had in a headlock and began to fight the other one. The guard got a quick punch in your face but you didn't even flinch instead you charged the guard tackling him to the ground and you took a knife out of your belt and dove it into the guard's eye socket, he screamed and slowly fell quiet as he bled out on the ground. 

You took off again running, as you got closer you heard gunshots and you followed them to see Reaper fighting a swarm of guards in the bomb factory room.  You moved your rifle into your hands and began to spray into the guards, there was around 20 in the room and soon they all looked over at you and Reaper took the opportunity to pop a few shots into some of their heads but there was too many, and the bullet flew around you as you duck behind one of the machines. You quickly looked down at the scattered mico bombs and an idea appeared. "Reaper get down!" You yelled, he paused for a minute until he understood and ducked down behind a machine, as soon as he was down you unloaded a clip into the bombs at their feet sending their bodies into the air in a flame, the blast knocked you against the wall but other than that you were fine.  "Let get out of here!"  Reaper snarled as he ran towards the hall you came from, you followed and you both headed to the parked dropship on the roof.


As soon as you were in you laid on the floor of the ship trying to catch your breath, "D-did you get some of the bombs?" You huffed still catching your breath, he shook his head no and sat down in one of the seats, you got up and sat across from him. "That fine I think there are schematics on here" You pointed to Sombra device. You were about to talk again, "Shhh" Reaper hushed you "Do you hear that" Reaper whispered, you tried to search for a sound with your ears.

You heard the sound, it sounded like it was coming from the cockpit, 

"It is a bomb!" You and Reaper yelled at the same time, you tried to run towards the cockpit but the cockpit soon burst into flames with a huge bang and the dropship began to freefall. You quickly braced for impact as you buckled your self back into your seat. 

The ground came quickly and the ship skidded across the ground with a big thud, you held on tightly until the ship stopped moving.  You were in a daze but managed to unbuckle your seatbelt and pressed the emergency button that opens the dropship doors, you and Reaper quickly exited the ship. You were still in a daze as you tried to focus on Reapers words "get down!" He growled. You couldn't focus enough on the words and soon Reaper tackles you to the ground, and you look up at Reaper in shock and behind him you see shrapnel and fire fly into the air, the ship had exploded. 


Reaper growls in pain as he rolls off of you, your focus came back as you sat up looking at the ship sitting there on fire. You look over at Reaper who was laying on the snow next to you coughing and wheezing.  

You looked at him in confusion, "You- you shielded me" your mind could believe that the man killing your old fellow agents just basically took a bullet for you. 

"and that's the last time too" He grunted in pain as he got to his feet. 

You looked around, you too were in the middle of nowhere in Russia, you needed to get away from the wreckage and find a way to get a hold of Talon.
