Heroes Don’t Always Wear Capes

-A little Revenant x reader story.

-2601 words (oooooooh, I see you, me)

-This was a crappy prompt that I just followed through with, not sure if anyone will like it and I’m about to find out.

-FYI: The real fluff is at the end, even though there really isn’t much, sorry not sorry.

-Warning: Threats, fluff, bad grammar, and extreme annoyingness. Sorry in advance to all those Octane lovers out there, I used to be one myself. [ Still kinda am ;) ]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ay, (y/n), sup?”

You jumped slightly at the sudden hand that landed on your shoulder. Octavio Silva hopped onto the open barstool beside you, quickly swiveling to face you. His eyes were lethargic as he quickly looked over you. Like you hadn’t noticed. “Say, what brings you here?”

“I just wanted a drink, the week’s been stressful.”, you muttered out, not really looking to socialize. Matchmaking had been a bitch over the last few days, and almost every game you had played in you had been partnered with the annoying twerp next to you. Of course, he was only yet a child, so cut him some slack.

However, you began to feel frustrated now that he thinks you and him were ‘meant to be’ or whatever he said with dreamy eyes last match. “Chica, we’ve been paired again! Looks like we’re meant to be!” Yeah, no thanks.

“Hey, chicaaaa, hola? You there?” You retreated from your thoughts to the speed devil’s annoying nagging and his hand waving in your face. You gently but firmly pushed it away before taking a swig of your beer. It was almost empty, so you tapped it on the counter. Within seconds, Mirage appeared in front of you.

“Another fill?”, he asked in a hurry. Somewhere off there was a crash that sounded like a glass shattering, followed by a yelp, and he sighed. Suddenly, another Mirage came running up. “Hey! Whatchu doing? I run the bar around here, get back to work.” He pointed towards where the commotion was coming from, and the first Mirage sighed again. “Worth a shot.”, he muttered, walking off.

“So..”, the real Mirage, you assumed, said. “Another fill?”

“Yes please.”, you replied, sliding the glass over to him impatiently. Mirage nodded, but before he could walk off, Octane interjected.

“Wait!” Mirage’s back was to him, but you barely saw him roll his eyes before turning to the kid with a forced grin plastered onto his face.

“What is it, buddy?”, he said, a note of irritation in his voice. “I’m a little busy here.”

“Charge her bill to my tab, will ya?”, he said carefree, turning back to you. “It’s the least I can do, since I would consider this our first date.” You saw Mirage’s eyebrow lift, and you knew what was coming.

“Are-are you guys-?”

“No, we aren’t dating.”, you muttered. “In fact, not even interested.” Octane just scoffed before looking at the bartender and whispering to him, “She’s just nervous.”

“I can hear you.”, you said nonchalantly. You were getting pissed at him, and quick.

Octane gave you a look before continuing to say, “Like I said.” That was it. You quickly stood up, your fist slamming into the counter. Both of the men looked at you, confused. Mirage slowly backed up, opening his mouth to say something, but you cut him off.

“You know what?”, you muttered through semi-gritted teeth. “I think I’ve had enough alcohol for the night.” Fishing out a twenty from your pocket, you tossed it on the counter. “Keep the change.” You turned around, walking in the opposite direction and towards the exit.

“T-Thanks?”, you heard Mirage say, but it was quickly cut off by Octane.

“W-Wait, (y/n)!” You heard his metal legs scrambling across the floor as he tried to catch up with you. You took a deep breath, trying to control yourself. Why wouldn’t he just leave you alone? At this point, most of the people in the bar were staring at you, and you didn’t like the attention.

He caught up with you, panting slightly. “Now just hold on a second, chica.”, he started, keeping pace with you while struggling to look at your face. “Did I do something? Do you want me to get you another drink? Can I-” You pushed through the swinging doors, and as you did, one swung back and smacked him right in the face. You heard him grunt in pain. Good, maybe it broke his nose and it would hurt too much to talk.

You started down the hallway, leading to your dormitory on the east wing of the Apex Legends Facility. As much as you enjoyed visiting Paradise Lounge, Octavio was just too much to handle on a daily basis.

You listened, but you didn’t hear him anymore. Good. You turned a corner, looking back for a second, but as you did you ran into something. Something hard. You stepped back, shaking your throbbing head before looking forward. There stood a growling Revenant. Shit.

His two bright LEDs shone down at you, and he looked very pissed. But he also looked kind of..confused? “Damn, sorry, I didn’t mean that. Oh, ah, I gotta go-”, you jumbled out quickly before anything could escalate. There were too many things going on at once. Darting past his large metal frame, you continued on. You heard metal scraping against metal and could only assume he turned his head to watch you walk off. Eerie, but you did just run into him, so.

You growled as you turned another corner, this time looking ahead. Guilt floated around in the back of your mind as you thought back to Octane, but you just pushed it away. The sun was setting though the glass walls that bordered the hallway, and a purple hue was appearing just above the horizon.

Speaking of her, Horizon turned the corner, pieces and parts falling from a box she was carrying. She looked tired, but smiled at you through passing. “You okay, dearie? You looked panicked and a tad bit flushed.”, she said in her heavy accent as she leaned down to pick up the stray parts.

You decided to help, picking up a screw and a coil that had rolled over by your feet. Throwing them in the box, you sighed. “Yeah, I’m fine, its just-”

“Octane.”, you both said at once. You looked up at the Scottish time traveler, bewildered. “H-How did you know?”, you asked, confused.

Horizon just chuckled before replying. “Dearie, I know all the secrets of the universe. And let me tell you, his nouve passion is no secret.” You rolled your eyes, and she just gave you a sympathetic look. “If you feel uncomfortable, just tell the lad to back off.”

“But I HAVE.”, you cried out, beginning to stress again. This kid was just too much.

“Or have you?”, Horizon replied, tapping her temple knowingly before picking up her box of parts and walking off. “Thanks for the assistance, dearie! See you in the match tomorrow.” You groaned, not looking forward to tomorrow whatsoever.

Suddenly, the muffled sound of metal scraping on something echoed off the walls. Whipping around, you looked to see if Horizon had accidentally dropped her box, but she was nowhere to be seen. In fact, the hallway was empty, and getting dark, too, as the sun was almost fully set now.

Chills ran up your spine, and you felt the sensation of being watched. However, you dismissed it in a hurry, striding off. At least you were almost back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were coming up to your hallway, and then you would be home. Good, because no matter how many times you tried to push away the feeling of being watched, it would always come back. And you were hearing weird noises, too. You began to wonder if it was the ventilation system, or some wiring within the plaster walls. But you swore the one time it sounded like claws dragging across the floor, and you began to wonder if there was something actually there.

Nevertheless, you were relieved to turn the corner and into your hallway. Your door was the second one down, and soon you were standing in front of it, fishing your pockets for your keycard. Suddenly, a hand rested on your shoulder, and you whipped around, heart beating, adrenaline spiked, ready to tackle whoever had touched you. But to your relief, and annoyance, there stood Octane, a piece of medical tape plastered to the bridge of his nose.

He held up his hands but didn’t move away, and you slowly lowered your fists. “Octavio, it’s you.”, you said.

“Y-Yeah..”, he muttered, obviously shaken up by the fact that you could’ve just punched him in the face. You breathed in sharply before continuing, and he just looked confused.

“Listen.”, you began, but before you could continue, he held up a finger to your mouth, shushing you.

“I get it, chica, I get it.”, he said. “I’ve come to finish what I started as well.” You nodded for a second, relieved he felt the same way, but when his hand hit the wall beside your head, blocking you in, you immediately felt your stomach flip. What? No! “Octavio, that’s not-!”

But before you finish, his lips clashed into yours, his other hand grasping for your squirming waist. You quickly pulled away, hitting your head on your door in the process and hissing in pain, but he just leaned back in. However, before his lips even made contact, a low growling emitted from the left, towards the front of the hallway.

Both you and Octane looked in that direction, and there stood the murder bot, Revenant. Your mind quickly put together two and two, and suddenly the sounds you had been hearing on your journey back to your room made sense. However, your chest constricted when you really thought about it. Had he been hunting you since you ran into him? Was he going to hurt you? God, why did you have such bad luck with men?

“Ay, can we get some privacy chico?”, Octane blurted out angrily. Revenant’s LEDs glowered at him, seemingly glaring holes into his eyes. For once in your life, you were truly scared. Scared for your life; scared for another person’s life.

“Back away from her.”, he growled in a deep, menacing voice. “Or else.”

Octane indignantly scoffed. “So what? She’s mine anyway. You can’t just barge in and take her!” You quickly whipped your head back to give him a scathing look. You were not just property to be handled and claimed.

You watched as Revenant took a step forward. He shook one of his hands, and his claws morphed into a dagger, making a wrenching metal sound as they did so. Octane jumped in surprise, quickly backing away from you. “Alright chico, you win, you can have her. Just let me leave in one piece, alright?”

Revenant growled, but before he could make another move, Octane stabbed himself with one of his stims, booking it past the simulacrum and disappearing from both your guys’ sights. “Such a shame..”, Revenant growled out. You looked back at him as his weapon for a hand morphed back into his normal claws. “I could’ve used a skinsuit pelt.” He looked up at you, and you quickly took a step back. He snorted before muttering, “Not you, you’re too delicate.”

You weren’t sure whether to take that as an insult or a compliment, but then again, you were never sure about anything that came out of that bot’s voice box. Either way, he had just saved you, so you at least would give him the respect of thanking him. “Hey, well, thanks for that. Didn’t think he’d go that far, I thought he was done after the bar.”

Revenant perked up a little at this. “What about the bar..?”, he said in a slightly curious tone. Still menacing though.

You sighed. “Nothing much, he was just being super clingy and annoying..” You hesitated slightly, but decided against yourself and continued. “..a-and intimate.”

The bot’s LEDs turned into slits. “So he made you uncomfortable.”, he growled outloud.

“Uhm..yeah. You could say that.”, you replied, confused. Since when did Revenant care about someone being uncomfortable, let alone caring about someone in general.

He growled, muttering, “I’ll kill that pervert.” He wasn’t joking, either, because he whipped around and began pacing off.

“No, wait!”, you shouted, running up to him. He abruptly stopped, and you didn’t brake in time, running slightly into his back. He turned around to face you, looking slightly annoyed but nothing compared to before. Weird. “No..no.”, you said, rubbing your temple. “No, I don’t want him dead.”

“Why not?”, Revenant snorted. But his tone became serious as he continued. “He made you uncomfortable..” You noticed his hand twitch slightly. “He didn’t stop after you demanded him to..” His hand was moving now, moving up. “He could’ve hurt you.” He growled that last line, but his voice didn’t match his actions. Slowly, his metal hand gently stroked the side of your face, skimming your cheek.

Flustered, your cheeks began to grow warm. He must’ve noticed, because he withdrew his hand. But you reached up quickly, pushing his hand back. The cold metal felt nice on your cheek. His hand abruptly cupped your chin, his thumb now stroking your cheek, back and forth, back and forth...It was so welcoming, so comfortable, so..reassuring.

At this point, you were both staring into each others’ eyes, your hand holding his to your face. You two stood there for what felt like minutes, and it seemed like a trace. However, a door opening behind you broke it, and you both quickly pulled away. Whipping around, you saw Fuse sauntering out of..Bloodhound’s room?

He looked up after closing the door, and he quickly made a comment, like he always does during awkward situations. “Well, looked what I walked out on!” He chuckled at his own joke, but when neither of you laughed along, he went silent. “Well, if it makes you feel any better, I just had some playtime with someone myself.”, he said. You flushed immediately, both by what he meant and by what he was assuming between you and Rev.

You quickly made your way over to your door, and you heard Fuse mutter, “Tough crowd.” before walking off. You looked back one more time as you scanned your keycard and opened your door. Revenant just stood there, a mix of emotions flashing over his somewhat emotionless face.

You didn’t know what else to say, so you just muttered “Goodnight.” before walking inside. Locking the door behind you, you slid down the door, your backside finally landing on the floor after a moment. Everything flashed through your mind. The bar. Octavio. Horizon. The fight. Revenant. Revenant. Was there something between you two now? Had he truly ‘claimed’ you, as Octane had said earlier? Nonetheless, you couldn’t get that bot out of your mind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Little did you know, the bot couldn’t get you out of his mind, either. As he arrived at his room later in the evening, you were all he thought about. Your features. The feeling of your skin. The intimacy. It seemed as if he hadn’t experienced it for lifetimes, which he truly hadn’t, and now that he was exposed again to the wonders of love, he couldn’t get enough. Even though he couldn’t technically sleep, he wouldn’t have been able to anyway, the thought of you would’ve kept him up.

His system overloaded for you. He dwelled over you. Even the minor things he recalled as the hours of the night went by, like seeing you on a banner in game or even though passing worked him up. He exhaused himself over you, even into the wee hours of the morning. And deep down he prayed that he wouldn’t be on the same team as you during the match of the day, or else it would be pointless trying to focus on anything but you.

considering shaak ti was like 6'2" i love the idea that female togrutas are taller on average than female humans. this is in part motivated by the fact that i love leaning into the carnivore/predator vibes of togruta bc i think we all deserve a lil more adventurous alien biology. but it is also in part bc i love the trope of younger characters being taller than older characters.

please see the vision: when ahsoka first passes 6'0" in height and is taller than obi-wan, anakin loses his SHIT and won't shut up about it. he's so fucking giddy about it bro. teasing obi-wan is like, his favorite thing to do aside from hang out with padme. the height jokes now that obi-wan is officially the shortest out of the trio are marvelous and anakin loves every moment of it.

but then... then ahsoka keeps growing. and soon she's 6'1" and anakin is getting a bit nervous, though he vehemently denies it when asked. and then she's 6'2" aka anakin's exact height and still growing and suddenly anakin doesn't find the height jokes funny any more.

...and then, one day, she inches past anakin. and suddenly anakin finds himself the butt of all of the jokes he made about obi-wan, but it's a million times worse because he's used to being the tallest. please please PLEASE imagine all of the different expressions (and colors) that would cross anakin's face the first time ahsoka rests an elbow on his head or, gods forbid, calls him "shorty."

tldr: i think ahsoka deserves to be tall and buff enough to carry her masters like this, as a treat:

I gave my orca Eclipse design fins, and I like it~

I originally didn't want to give him any fins because I liked the design without them, it looked unsettling and fit his eerie aura. But after Naff continued describing and including his fins so much in every chapter I got tired of not having a design with the fins, so I gave mine some and changed his anatomy to help them fit to the design. I ended up liking it a lot! And yeah of course I put claws on them pgjfkdk he needs more claws~ They're more like seal flippers than orca fins, but I like the look of these more so I don't care :p

He can be drawn with or without the fins btw, I like both versions :>

Orca Eclipse is from @naffeclipse's fic Apex Polarity

#still love this guy so much~#now he can hold you with two sets of limbs >:3 #he's just turned into a typical Eclipse with 4 arms pfpgkf #orca!eclipse #apex polarity #art #my art #creature design

Toying around with a sort of Apex Polarity spin involving Sun and Moon and having them as Arctic Fox type of creatures (think werewolf monster body types but fox style) and Y/N is an Arctic Hare-esque humanoid mythical being with white fur and long ears tipped in black. Of course, it's set in the Arctic tundra. Thinking of calling it Of Fox Maws.

You've seen the fox men before. They'll skirt the outsides of the large valley you like to go to gather arctic willow and sedge out of the snow. Their eyes glint in the harsh Arctic light, watching you. You warily tense your legs, always ready to bolt should the two fiends decide they're hungry enough to attempt to chase you down.

You can't trust foxes.

But you always skip away, out of sight and far from the terror of what could easily be your last day. This happens for a season. Sometimes, they attempt to creep closer in plain view but you turn tail and run, ducking behind snowy hills and hiding low until you're certain they're gone.

Once, you were caught off guard in the middle of your foraging. One voice called softly out to you. You jumped back and found the fox men too close, almost within lunging distance—your little heart fluttered as if to take flight and escape—but you ran and ran and ran until you couldn't breathe. Then, you look behind you.

The fox men were nowhere to be found.

One day, you're amid a rocky field of purple saxifrage, happily picking blossoms to toss in your mouth while twisting your long ears this way and that to listen in for any predators or creeping fox men that might try to break your little neck in their vulpine jaws. You never expected the teeth to come from the ground you placed your foot on. A snap of metal. A bone crack. You're bitten by something cold and terrible, and it chains you to the ground. Terrible pain eats your leg as blood, crimson among the snow and rocks, begins to drip down your fur.

You panic. Such is your nature. You thrash and struggle while the metal trap digs deeper into your leg. The safety of daylight begins to fade as exhaustion and fear begin to take hold, and then you see them. Their glinting eyes, their sharp ears narrowed, their fur white and strangely marked with colorful swirls on their underside, their claws scraping over the ground as they come closer and closer.

You cry it in your terror—you could always run before. They talk low and soft to you, one anxiously coaxing you to stop moving, to stop hurting yourself, but you tug and struggle in your wild franticness. The teeth keep biting your leg—you flounder before a set of arms catches you, pinning you down with strange gold and red fur on his chest that warms your deathly chilled body. You scream but another set of hands holds down your caught leg—this one with deep blue and silver swirls in the fur on his chest. You dissolve in the horror of the end that will come from too many jaws—

A musical steel note plays when he breaks the chain in half with his raw strength. You keep thrashing, struggling to get away, but the fox men are too strong, and the one holding you keeps asking you to stop being frightened—they only want to help. The other digs his dark claws into the metal trap and pries it apart as the other drags you out of reach of the contraption maw, and you cry from the pain of it all.

The two begin yipping and fussing. When they press their hands to the bleeding bite mark on your leg, the anguish overwhelms you until all you see is white, then nothing.

They become frantic at your slumped form and all the blood on your silky white fur. Sun takes to your wound and Moon takes you in his arms, and keeping pressure on the strange bite, they carry you back to their den. There, you'll be safe and warm, and there, they can help you with your broken leg.

Hopefully, you won't keep screaming when you wake up. (You will.)

#Of Fox Maws #fox!sun #fox!moon #hare!reader #apex polarity #<<< branching off from that #i love the furry mythical creatures and the boys being very dangerous but also a little misunderstood because ~foxes~#and you aren't exactly peachy with everything #but hey that broken leg isn't letting you go anywhere anytime soon (though you'll try)#(and they will not be happy to find your sorry carcass out in the snow as you try to limp away)#they boys are mischievous and predatory but in a fun cute way not real way #naff writing

Alone in the Arctic Ocean

Enlarge image for better quality. Tumblr hates my rendered art smh /j

From Apex Polarity Chapter 1: The Shadow Under The Ice by @naffeclipse

“Are there others like you?” you whisper. His eyes flash to yours. The water snaps below the ice shelf where you think his tail gives a moody flick. “No.” His voice echoes with the crash of icebergs. “I am alone.”

And for the holidays I give you memes! Memes everywhere!

I hope that all of you are having a wonderful time, but if not, I at least hope these silly doodles brought you a little joy!

I'm going to keep this short and sweet today, so to round this of: These doodles are based off of the fanfic Apex Polarity, which is written by the lovely @naffeclipse and Eclipse' design is based off of @themeeplord 's fantastic design!

And as a bonus, you will find an alteration and a bunch of Yeti slogans/puns under the cut:

and if you're wondering why I made so many gd yeti puns, it was for michael's mug. You gotta have some fitting and funny slogan for all mugs. Btw If any of you know some good yeti slogans and/or puns, please call me, I've been struggling.

Michael; local cryptid believer, but not cryptid enjoyer

Vanessa; POLAR BEARS

Eclipse; I'm having the best time of my life! :D

Y/n; I'm having A TIME :')

#apex polarity #polar!y/n #polar!vanessa #polar!michael #polar!eclipse #orca!eclipse #dca #dca au #OK! Here comes the obligatory extra thoughts section- from top to bottom order- GO!!!#BEHOLD!: is the will smith meme- but it's also kind of a reference to the “BEHOLD- a man!” joke but- you know- in reverse :P #also if you wondering why Y/n is kind of T-posing- it's the 'I have too many layers of clothes so I'm sort of T-posing' pose #I love drawing them like that XD #and also I'm giving them a little sass- you know- as a treat 💅❇️#NDA: I love michael. He's been through shit and is trying so hard to keep everyone safe-#and for that I want to give him a break and a hug :')#POLAR BEARS: I know and you know and SHE knows *nods knowingly* polar bears XD #Me and the bad bitch: this fits so well with polar!y/n but it would be an even better fit for hare!y/n XD #my pronouns: Sorry Y/n- eclipse will like you no matter the gender- so you're stuck! Good luck! XD #Yeti puns: OK so Michael knows sirens exists right?#So I was thinking that he's probably a cryptid believer- but not so much a cryptid enjoyer #So I was trying to make a mug slogan that was kind of both #but that was HARD- so in the end I picked just a pure and very simple yeti pun for his mug #the 'Yeti? Not on my watch!' ties back to michael believeing in cryptids- but not liking them #so yes- my headcanon is he will send cryptids to Uno hell if possible #at 'yeti spagetti!' I was grasping at straws- NOTHING RHYMES WITH YETI EXCEPT SPAGETTI!! Also yes-#spagetti is misspelled and I'm going to keep misspelling it because why tf is there an H in the word spagetti? NAY I SAY!! *GASP* ok done!#again I hope all of you are doing well in these times #and I'm sorry for being so late in saying this naff (got caught up in the holiday prep)- but I hope you're feeling better now! Ik how #stressful it can be around the holidays- but I hope this cheered you up and that you'll get to relax after chirstmas!#NOW I NEED TO STOP BECAUSE I'VE REACHED THE TAG LIMIT- happy holidays everyone and hope you have a good one!

Distractions Are Real

-A reader asked for this, and I obliged. (BTW I tried to include some soft Revenant in this since that was what was loved most about the last post, but the real stuff isn’t until the next post WHICH IS COMING.)

-1594 words (not bad, not bad)

-I was surprised at how many people actually liked the first writing, so thanks. :)

-There’s not a lot of fluff in this one because IT’S COMING. Please don’t be disappointed, there’s another “chapter” coming after this one, there is just too much to try and fit into this one. I promise, to try and get it done sometime this week.

-Enjoy :D

--------------------------------------------------

Beep. Beep. Be-

You slammed your hand down onto the alarm clock beside you, shutting it up. A yawn emerged, and you stretched your arms and legs as they woke up with you. The sun was just rising out of your slightly shuttered window, highlighting the already busy city of Olympus. It was going to be a hot day.

Sitting up from your bed, you switched on a light and began getting ready for the day. Brush your teeth, use the restroom, take a shower, change into Legends attire, eat breakfast, etc. But as you stared at yourself in the mirror, something didn’t feel right. And it wasn’t the feeling you got all week long when you realized you would most likely be paired with Octane. It was more of a..longing feeling? Had it been from last night?

You shook your head slightly as the thoughts began to bubble. Were you truly touch deprived? Had Revenant caressing your cheek made you lonely? Or was it just something else? You locked your door and began making your way down the hallway, turning left as you had done the day before. Whatever it was, this feeling wasn’t going to last long, and you were going to make sure it wouldn’t. You had a trios match today, and it was time to get your head in the game.

It was particularly quiet, despite all the Legends having to be at the loading dock within the next ten minutes. Even though you weren’t late, a spike of urgency ran down your spine. You briskly turned another corner, abruptly running into something. You tumbled backwards, falling onto your butt. “What in the worl-?” you began, but you shut your mouth as you looked up. It was none other than Revenant..again. You growled internally; you had to pay more attention from now on.

He turned to look at you, annoyance etched onto his face, but he did nothing other than growl slightly before walking off. He wasn’t in a good mood it seemed. But then again, you realized that interaction could’ve gone far worse, so you decided to drop it.

You followed him to the loading dock, and almost all the Legends were there that you saw when you looked around. However, it was pretty quiet, other than for the occasional cough or the brief awkward conversation being held. You looked back where Revenant last was, but he was nowhere to be seen. Shrugging, you moved into a corner, leaning up against the wall as the overhead announcer came on.

“Good morning Legends!” a female voice boomed over the speakers, penetrating your ears and making a few people in the room flinch. “Time to announce your teams for today’s game!” You rolled your eyes; the matchmaking was playing matchmaker between you and Octane as of late, so no doubt you’d be on his team.

As she rolled through the teams, your suspicions were confirmed. Octane and you hadn’t been called yet. You were waiting for Revenant’s team though. Some would say you were obsessed suddenly, but you were truly just curious. However, he hadn’t been listed off yet either.

The speaker continued rambling as the chosen teams boarded the dropship, some grumbling, some chatting away. You watched Horizon walk off, laughing with Gibraltar. You couldn’t help but smile a little; she was so friendly. “Ah, let’s see here..I have (y/n), Octane-”

You sighed, cancelling out the rest of her sentence. You were going to file a complaint to the Facility after this match, you couldn’t mentally take this guy anymore. However, you weren’t sure how he would act towards you, considering the events from the day before.

You walked over to the entrance of the dropship, leaving behind the few Legends left for picking. You took a seat near the back, Octane bounding over. “Hey chica!”, he blurted, but then shut up when you didn’t respond and continued staring forward. It was quiet for a few seconds before a more monotone voice spoke. “Hey, I’m sorry for what happened yesterday, I promise to back off.”

That voice..was Octane? It sounded so forced. You turned your head to look at him, but he wouldn’t even make eye contact with you, he just stared off to the side. And he was rubbing his neck. Weird. Grunting, you responded. “Y-yeah, it’s alright.” He still didn’t look up, so you just gave up and looked back towards the front of the dropship. As you watched the other teams, you realized that there was only two of you. This was a trios match, you were supposed to have one more, right? You began to wonder where your third teammate was...

--------------------------------------------------

Revenant shifted ever so slightly. He was currently perched on a low-hanging pipe emerging from the ceiling of the now-moving ship, staring at you. He watched you look around for him, or he should say the third teammate. Even though you had run into him this morning, he didn’t really care. He was just annoyed in general. However, he hoped that you hadn’t been rubbed the wrong way due to the incident.

His LEDs snapped over to an impatient Octane. He was still rubbing his neck in the same place Revenant had held his blade to, making him apologize to you. Octane must’ve sensed someone watching him, because he looked up for a brief second, locking eyes with the looming Legend before looking back down again. Good, he knew his place.

His head quickly swiveled back to you, who had now gotten up and begun to stretch. Oh, you were going to be such a temptation the whole game. He had been thinking about you since the event the day before. And now you would be a sweet, little distraction to the murder bot. It was going to be a difficult game.

He noticed you start walking towards the front of the dropship, the hatch now gaping open and teams jumping out. He figured it was time to make his appearance. After all, he wouldn’t want to keep you waiting...

--------------------------------------------------

You started walking up near the front of the ship, the air pressure causing a build-up within your ear. Where was your other teammate? As much as you didn’t really want to talk to Octane, despite the apology, you wanted to figure out what was going on. Turning around, Octane looked up at you. “Where’s our third teammate?” you asked, feeling your frown deepen. The time to jump was wearing thin, and your team would get a late start and bad loot if you guys didn’t get a move on soon.

Octane shrugged, looking back down, and you growled, frustrated. Suddenly, something, someone, thudded down right in front of you, making you stumble back. The current took control of you, and you yelped out as you were sucked out of the dropship. Metal claws grabbed onto your jacket, tearing it ever so slightly, but you were quickly pulled back into the ship. Thudding onto the ground, you panted a little, your heart pounding in your chest. You looked up, and your eyes immediately locked with Revenant’s.

His face was expressionless, devoid of any emotions. There was a second of quietness before you muttered out, “Thanks.” He didn’t seem to register the word of gratitude, just rather lurched forward. You sucked in a breath, your arms instinctively wrapping around your head to weakly try and protect yourself. But when nothing happened, you slowly peeked out from your feeble hiding to see no murder bot.

“Chica.” You whipped your head around at Octane, who was preparing to jump. “He went, c’mon.” Without a further word, he dived out, screaming cheers into the sky. Well, looks like he had regained his usual mood. Leaping up from the floor, you took a few steps back, preparing yourself for the launch. You looked back once, noticing that there was only one team in the back left.

It was Horizon’s team. She noticed you looking and gave you a thumbs-up. You smiled back at her, but you felt your lips begin to wear as you noticed one of her teammates. Not Gibraltar, but another Legend brooding within the shadows of the dropship. The ship tilted ever so slightly as a voice came over the speakers, shedding light upon the Legend. “Last drops! I repeat, last drops!”

Your heart beat spiked as you looked upon the now uncovered Legend. Her LEDs glared at you with a malicious tint. From her stance and position, she looked like she had been watching you for awhile now. Tilting her head, Ash opened her mouth, hissing out, “Good luck, you’re going to need it.” What was her problem? Did it have to do with Octane..or was it Revenant?

Shaking your head and clearing your thoughts, you looked back at the entrance. The map was almost at it’s end, but you saw both Revenant and Octane streaking towards the ground. Taking a deep breath, you launched forward, dropping out of the ship and into the sky. You screamed at the top of your lungs, “Here I come Olympus!” before whizzing through the sky in attempts to catch up with your teammates. The words made you laugh, and you let Ash’s words fade into the back of your mind. Little did you know that later they would actually mean something.
