He's Got You in His Sights [Soldier 76 x reader]

chapter 10

"y/n!!! wake up!" I heard Hana yelling very close in my ear and I tiredly batted her away with my hands.

"go away" I groaned "I'm comfy.."

it was silent for a few moments until a large weight got dropped on my body and I heard the giggles of Hana. I was wide awake and I quickly shoved her off me but she shoved me back. I didnt realize there wasnt enough couch left for both of us and I fell off onto the floor with a loud thud.

"you okay, y/n?" said Hana. I looked up at her concerned face and glared with a short lived hatred. my stomach growled loud enough for us to both hear it and we both started laughing.

"soldier is in the kitchen making food. it should be done in a few if you wanna come eat." she said and then got off the couch and walked away.

I sat up and stretched for a bit before going to Hana's room to find some spare clothes. the best i could find that would fit were some booty shorts and a tank top. when changing my clothes i caught a glance at my arm where that scar was that happened during a nightmare. in a trance, i traced my finger over it. the scarred tissue itself was cold. it was a red ugly and jagged ring around my entire upper arm. I sighed and continued getting dressed.

I was about to leave the room when I turned and saw soldier standing there leaning against the door frame.

"oh hi" I said and waved.

"hey. breakfast is ready if you wanna come eat." he said and turned to leave.

"wait," he paused and looked at me through his visor. "can you look at this please?"

he came closer "look at what?" I pointed to my scar on my arm. he moved closer and began inspecting it after he'd gotten my permission. "what happened?"

"its weird. really weird." I said quietly.

"I can handle weird. try me." he said softly. and so I told him everything about how I'd been having nightmares about Reaper and how I had somehow gotten the scar without being physically injured.

"I'm glad you shared that with me,    y/n. we can ask Mercy about it next time we see her. I know only basics about this stuff and wouldnt know about this. hang in there." my face fell a bit. I was hoping for an actual answer. he must have noticed because he pulled me in for a hug and said "dont worry, everything will be okay. for now, let's eat. okay?"

I nodded against his chest and pulled away.

after breakfast soldier and I said our goodbyes to Hana and went to look for Mercy.

we walked into the medical bay and heard her humming a song to herself. she had her wings outstretched as if to dry them out and every so often they'd twitch when she moved.

"Mercy" soldier spoke and the doctor jumped up and yelped.

"gosh, soldier, dont sneak up on me next time!" Mercy said with a hand on her chest. she looked over to me and smiled. "y/n how are you feeling? better I hope."

I smiled back at her and said "I'm doing well but I have a question about this thing on my arm." I motioned to my scar and wished I'd worn a jacket to cover it up.

"well, let's see, shall we?" she came closer and examined my scar. "where did you get this?" she sounded tense. i explained it happened in a dream and some of her stress washed away.

"what is it?" soldier asked and Mercy pulled him aside and I couldn't hear what they were saying. I stood there waiting. at one point soldier recoiled and put a hand to his mask where his mouth would be.

mercy said one last thing before walking away. soldier turned to me and grasped my hand with both of his.

"mercy is gonna take your blood to just run some tests on it. she said not to tell anyone else of what happened to your arm and if anyone sees the scar to lie about how you got it. if it's what she thinks it is, this could be bad." soldier said. he sounded so conflicting.

"what's wrong with me? what would happen? why is it bad?" I asked panicked.

"y/n, you could lose function of your whole arm if you dont get cured soon."
