The Calm in His Storm (Octane x Wattson)

one

"So who's this new Legend?" commented Mirage from his seat and Lifeline shrugged. "I tried to tell y'all earlier and you wouldn't listen." she retorted and Octane tapped his foot impatiently, jumping in place as he stared at the screen counting down from their drop.

The teams would be decided seconds before they dropped.

The daredevil was feeling extra twitchy lately. He didn't know if it was the lack of a good fight or the knowledge of some new, unknown, Legend appearing.

Announcer: Here are your Apex Squads.

Squad One: Wattson, Octane and Mirage

Squad Two: Gibraltar, Bloodhound and Bangalore

Squad Three: Lifeline, Wraith and Caustic

Squad Four: Pathfinder

At this the daredevil tilted his head. His team had the new person. He felt a tap on his shoulder and looked back to see a small girl.

She looked fairly young and..beautiful.

She had pretty blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She was wearing a jumpsuit with a backpack and attached to it was some kind of container filled with electricity. She was smiling at him.

"Bonjour. You would be Octane, right? I've seen how fast you are in the arena." she said in a soft, sweet, French accent.

It was the first time Octane had heard a Legend with an accent besides himself, Lifeline and Bloodhound. And Bloodhound rarely spoke.

"Hola hermosa. Sí. Yes, that would be me. It's nice to meet you! I hope you can keep up. I get a little, excited." he grinned beneath his mask and she giggled, making his heart do a strange flip.

That was different.

It was this moment that Mirage decided to make his way over, a charming smile on his face. "Hello beautiful. You know I'm pretty well known in the-" he was cut off when the ramp opened and everyone stood up.

"Quit messing around Mirage." muttered Bangalore, shoving him and he huffed as Wattson chuckled softly.

Octane found his mind blanking and immediately shook his head.

This is your Apex Champion.

Up above the screen showed Octane's team and the Legend grinned as Wattson looked over at him, impressed. He had won nearly three hundred games so far.

"Yep! So don't let us down hermosa." he said and she gave him a confused look.

"What-"

The ship tilted and suddenly they were all falling from the skies.

"I love this part!" shouted Octane, taking out his selfie stick and snapping pictures while he flipped and dipped in the air.

"Charge!" shouted Wattson, grinning wildly and Octane laughed, adrenaline rushing through his veins.

"I'm jumpmaster. Good thing I'm not afraid of heights..I'm not afraid of anything." chuckled Mirage and Octane zeroed in on the Gauntlet.

"Eenie meenie minie...how bout' there?" he called over the wind and Wattson looked over, her eyes narrowed.

"That's a hot zone. A lot of people will go that way."

"I'm down for it if you are." said Mirage and the blonde smiled. "Alright."

Mirage led them shooting down toward the Gauntlet and as soon as they landed, another squad showed up.

"Faster! Faster! Faster!" shouted Octane excitedly and raced down the ramp, jumping up into the sky and doing a flip through the ring of fire, grabbing the purple armor within.

Wattson opened the first supply bin she saw and found not only a Havoc but a Mastiff shot gun. "Oui! Perfect!" she grinned, turning around just as she heard steps. She aimed her gun at Bangalore.

She was down in seconds with one shot to the head. Wattson didn't bother finishing her, instead, grabbing some ammo and looking for the rest of her teammates.

"Enemy right here." called Mirage over the speakers, sending out one of his decoys and laughing.

"Hah, you got bamboozled." he snickered, recharging his shields and shaking his head when he heard the familiar sound of Octane using one of his stims. "I'm going in!" he shouted and laughed as he sent out a flurry of bullets from his Wingman.

He hit Gibraltar spot on and the fortified Legend went down, backing away quickly as Octane landed, jumping in place as he looked around.

"One more.." he muttered to himself, feeling anxious.

"Octane, to your left!" came Wattson's pretty voice and the daredevil jumped up just as a grenade came flying toward him.

It exploded behind him and he grinned as he pulled out his P-2020, aiming at Bloodhound.

The hunter jumped around, sprinting to the side but was shot down.

"Whoo! Let's do that again!" grinned Octane as he landed, reloading his guns. He hadn't gotten a hit yet.

"Wow. You do all that with only pistols?" remarked Wattson as she came over, looting Bloodhound's Death Box. They only had a few frags and arc stars but they would be useful.

"Sí. But if you see an r-99, let me know!" he grinned and checked his map.

"By the way, what does hermosa mean?" she asked curiously and Octane was glad no one could see his face because it felt hot right then.

"Beautiful. I'll be that way if you need me, hermosa." he grinned, racing off before he could make a fool of himself. She was just so pretty and she seemed really nice too.

Though he didn't notice the red blush that had spread across her face.

Mirage smirked at that.

Looks like Octane had finally found his match..now if only he could confess to Wraith.
