Each Other's Shield: Brigitte x Reader

Chapter 9: Recon and New Allies

HOLY SHIT! 1K READS?!?! Thank you all so much for the support on this story. I know I express it a lot, but it means the world to me that others actually enjoy what I write and that this is something that is meaningful to people other than me. Thank you all for this Christmas present haha. Also, this is a stupidly long chapter because I kind of got carried away. I am going to try to put on a lot more in a shorter period of time since I am on break. Thank you all again! It means a lot to me! Cheers

Five miles out from the Null Sector Base around 10:30 PM

"Hey wake up sleepy head." Your eyes slowly open as you see Brigitte's smiling face shining back at you. You stand up and stretch and yawn as others in the group start to get their gear prepped for the mission. You tighten the straps of your armor and secure your back pack and power core into place.

"(Y/N) can you help me with this." Brig says as she turns to you with a jar of eye black. "It is a recon mission so Jack wants us to try to stay hidden." You smile, take the jar, and start to rub black paint over her soft face as she smiles up at you. "Your turn!" she giggles as she smothers your face with the camouflage. You keep smiling and looking at her as she focuses on the art work she is making on your face. 

"What you looking at bud?" she says with a giggle.

"Umm..nothing you're just really cute with the painted face."

"Oh stop." she says as she plants a soft kiss on your cheek.

"Come on you two love birds. It is time to get to work." McCree calls from the exit. You and Brig take your position by the door. McCree, Pharah, Tracer, and Genji all creep out of the drop ship and start your five mile trek to the base.

At the base

"Pharah, get up in the sky and give us a report of what you see." McCree whispers to her. She slowly creeps into the sky and scouts the area.

"It looks heavily fortified as expected, but we should get a closer look." she says as she lands. 

"Alright people, let's stick to the shadows and try to gather as much data as we can. And try not to get into any fights, we do not need to have unnecessary conflict." the cowboy says as your group starts to make its way to the treeline. Guards swarmed the tall concrete walls and floodlights scanned the treeline, looking for anyone that may be approaching. 

"God damn. How the hell are we going to get any data, those walls are too high." Genji says.

"There has got to be some sort of drainage pipe around here, we need to just get a recon drone into it and have it find the server room so we can hack in and get some images of the base." you say to the group. The group starts to slowly creep around the base and look for anything that would allow them to get into the base. A small grate is found and the drone is sent in through the pipe and then through a vent into the base. After what seems like hours of piloting, Tracer is able to locate the server room.

"Just give me a few minutes loves. Got to send the data back to Winston and then we will be out of here in a jif." she says in a cheery tone. The group of you keep watch as the Brit sends the data halfway across the world. Time ticks slowly as every sound that comes from the trees causes everyone to go on high alert as detection would mean a catastrophic failure. 

"Got it loves, let's get the hell out of here." The six of you move at breakneck speed to the drop ship and head back to the base.

Back at Gibraltar the next day

*Knock knock knock*

You roll over and read the clock on your nightstand. 1:37 pm. You let out a groan as you slam the back of you head back onto your pillow and close your eyes.
