The three of you got to the dropship. You felt jittery and nervous. You didn't want to let your squad down. But, being your first time, you guess it was okay if you lost.

Noticing your shakiness, Octane put a hand on your shoulder, "Loosen up, amiga! Let's have some fun!"

With a few deep breaths and a smile, you looked to Octane, "Alright."

10 seconds. 10 seconds until you could start launching. The three members of your squad huddled over a map, and Octane and Mirage argued over where to land. Finally, Octane chose, "Eenie meenie miney... how bout there?" He asked, pointing to the Swaps. The two of you nodded, and Octane put the map away.

Standing by the door, you took some more deep breaths. You glanced to the side, Octane was running in place, and Mirage was stretching. Maybe you should warm up? Nah, you already had earlier, right now you just needed to focus on calming down. It was going to be okay. Even if you lost. It was going to be okay.

Before you knew it, Octane grabbed your hand and pulled you out of your dazed state. Then, the three of you jumped. Octane let go of your hand, going towards the area they chose. Trying to crane your neck over your shoulder to see where the enemy squads were going, you saw that only one other squad was. It was either that they eliminated our squad or we eliminated them.

You landed, and immediately rushed to one of the silts. Opening the door, you grabbed the first gun you saw, a Peacekeeper. Fortunately, this is one of the guns you've trained with. Picking up some of the ammo around it, you picked up the second gun you saw. An Alternator SMG. Grabbing some of the light ammo, you headed out to find your squad.

"Body shield here, level one." Mirage spoke over your headset.

Rushing to the location, you put the body shield on. Mirage was already looting the upstairs of the silt, you didn't bother talking to him. Walking outside of the silt, you were met by gunfire. Bullets shot by your ears with a crisp sound. Ducking behind a rock, you yelped, "I'm being shot at!"

"Don't worry amiga, I'm coming!" Octane responded, and Mirage excitedly said, "Yes! Time to bamboozle em!"

"Let's go around," Mirage ducked and whispered. After the pause of gunfire, the three ran as fast as they could, Mirage sending out a decoy as they did so.

"Ha! They just got bamboozled!" Mirage laughed, before running after you and Octane.

"Are we gonna flank them or what?!" Octane exclaimed as the three of you made your way around.

The three of you stayed low, trying to stay as silent as possible. Soon enough, the clueless enemy squad was in sight. "Ready?" Mirage asked. Octane nodded eagerly, "Uno.. dos... tres... wassup!" He exclaimed, jumping out of cover and firing. You started firing as well, and so did Mirage.

They terrified team tried to fight back, but one got knocked down already. You felt a bullet pierce your shoulder, then leg. Staggering to the side, you winced, but you had to keep fighting. 

After firing some more, you ducked out of battle to reload, and grab a mini robot. It latched onto one of the remaining teammates, and either hacked the technology on them or became a lock to bags and packs, etc.

The enemy desperately tried to open something on their back up, only to get knocked down soon after that. Then, the three of you finished off the last enemy.

Whole squad eliminated

"Wow, great job, amiga!" Octane smiled, patting your shoulder. You winced and pulled back slightly. "Ay, I'm sorry, let me fix you up."

"Octane.. I can do that myself." You insisted. 

"No. Let me help." He fought back, pulling out some healing supplies. As he pulled you closer and began to tend to your wounds, you began staring at him again.

Then you glanced at Mirage, who was smirking.

Was it really obvious?
