Cavalry's Here!

Indie Tracer from Overwatch

       ‘ IT WOULDN’T get tracked back to me. do i look like an amateur to you? ’

she’s more offended by the suggestion that she’d ever get caught than the fact that this stranger swiped her out of a payday. fiona’s been lifting wallets since she was ten. nineteen years of practice and the stickiest fingers around meant something back home.

‘ listen, girlscout, i don’t tell you how to do your job. why don’t you show me the same courtesy? ’

[chronalacceleratorbound-blog]

          “Well, you did get caught by me.” She replied, tilting her head slightly before shrugging. She knew she was just making things worse, but she rather enjoyed being a little shit. “Thievery isn’t a job, though, love, so you have no leg to stand on for that anyways.”

He hesitated, looking thoughtful before nodding slowly.

If you’re l-looking for a job, I got a few things I could have you do.  Whether or n-not they’re lethal?  That’s u-up to you.  

Hyperion has information on my friends who were kidnapped and ex-experimented on.  I n-never knew exactly what happened to them.  If…you c-could get that information for me…I’d m-m-mmmake it worth your while.

[chronalacceleratorbound-blog]

          She arched a brow, cocking her head slightly. “That would be up in the info stockade, yeah? I’m sure I can get in and out of there before they know anything’s missing. What names do I need to be looking for?” She pulled out her echo to jot down some notes so she could keep up with what all information he was needing.

“You’re not wrong,” the small smile allows a soft chuckle, moving ahead of her when the bandages over his wound are secure, “I’ve been scolded enough, but she means well, I suppose.” 

[chronalacceleratorbound-blog]

          She practically bounced along beside him, thoroughly pleased with this outcome. “I don’t think she’d scold near as much if she didn’t care. Or she might be scolding us for making her work so much. Some of are rather accident prone.”

@chronalacceleratorbound liked for a starter!

Ducking behind cover, McCree reflected on what a small world it really was these days.  While he’d come across the occasional former Overwatch operative since his departure from the organization, the encounters were always fleeting.  Most of them were keen to stay out of the public light, although the craving for the old life could still get to you.  Since Winston’s call, however, the meetings were growing more frequent, as well as more eventful.

McCree raised his voice over the staccato of gunfire, mindful of his manners even under a hail of bullets.

“Miss Lena, it has been a dog’s age!  I don’t suppose you’d care to catch up a bit after we finish with these countrified fellows?”

[chronalacceleratorbound-blog]

          Lena had been trying to pick these gangmembers off for what felt like an hour, but they were too well armed and she was extremely outnumbered. At least, until she heard the familiar bang of a peacekeeper and the even more familiar voice of the cowboy beside her. “Well, howdy to you too!” She grinned over at her friend and nodded. “We could pop down to the corner cafe for a cuppa, unless you’re more inclined for actual food?” She asked, dropping back for another moment, reloading her guns as she waited for his answer. Now that she had a little cover fire, she could drop in and start picking them off from behind as well.

          And my confusion on how to approach people in this fandom persists.

Any merriment that might have been in Godric’s expression slowly melted as he listened to Lena.  The thought of being so utterly disconnected and wildly swinging between times, places, and lives…

[[ECHO]]

That sounds very difficult, to s-say the least.  

He pressed his hand to the window pane again.

[[ECHO]]

Pandora can b-be a pretty scary place, even under th-the best of circumstances.  You seem like you can take care of yourself - imagine you’re an ad-adaptable person by necessity if nothing else.  As long as you’re here, th-though, I’ll do my best to help you.  Y’know, g-given my present circumstances.

He gestured vaguely with a hand as if to encompass both himself and his cabin.

[chronalacceleratorbound-blog]

          Lena shrugged a little, placing her hand on the glass again. Hopefully he could feel a little bit of warmth through it, feel less alone. “That’s one of the upsides, though, I haven’t found anything that can keep up with me yet.” She winked at him before grinning. “I can always appreciate someone watching my back. Or if there are some non-lethal jobs going on, would you let me know about them? Money gets pretty tight here.” There was a slight grimace there, but her cheer was back in full force.

Godric grinned, dark eyes twinkling as he sat back in his chair.

[[ECHO]]

Miss, y-you are talking to a man who fought monsters and evil mega-corporations while going on treasure hunts for lost alien riches.  Trust me - I c-can suspend my disbelief.

[chronalacceleratorbound-blog]

          Lena looked the slightest bit wary before taking a deep breath and tapping the glowing blue light on her chest. “I have Chronal Disassociation. It pretty much means that my timeline isn’t synced with the one I was born into. Dangers of testing out time hopping planes.” She shrugged a little, plowing on with her story in the hopes that he was believing her. “One of the problems of this is the fact that I can drop in and out of timelines that I wasn’t born into, but... I have memories of a life that was supposed to be lived here or there and the ones from the life that I lived in my actual timeline. Or what I’m guessing is my actual timeline. Or they could all be my actual timeline. I don’t know, time is just weird.” 

          She scratched the back of her head, grimacing slightly. This kind of stuff always confused her when she tried to talk about it with her friends, much less someone that was still almost a stranger. “So, uh, this nightlight keeps me synced up as well as it can. Sometimes I still seem to fall through the cracks, and, well I don’t know if I’m ever going to get ‘back’ or not. It’s like I fall asleep and wake up in a new life, just to fall asleep some other time and wind back up where I was before. But, for right now I’m here because it’s where my timeline synced up. And Pandora is very different from earth.”

please reblog if you don’t mind people randomly popping up in your inbox ‘cause there’s so many of you where I want to do that but you are all just so talented and I’m over here like mehhheheheh.

[firstdegreefraud]

she rolls her eyes, makes no move to retaliate against the morality police save for crossing her arms and narrowing her eyes. ‘ thanks for the good advice. i’ll keep it in mind for next time. ’ she cants her head to one side, full of sarcasm and vinegar. ‘ and how do you know that guy earned what he’s got? maybe he’s a gambler or a pusher. you busybodies never consider the grey area. ’

[chronalacceleratorbound-blog]

          “And how do you know he hasn’t?” Lena asked, arching a brow. “If he’s not earned it, then he’ll get his and it’s better that you don’t have it either. What if it got tracked back to you? You’d be in just as much trouble and that’s just not a good time.” She was used to having to toe careful lines, try to keep things as clear as possible. It wasn’t always possible, but she knew that doing the right thing was always better.

Godric took the thermos from the table, settling in again behind the window from her.

[[ECHO]]

Pretty much the same.  I was a vault h-hunter before my accident.  My t-team…they died when it happened.  But I c-came here from Artemis for adventure and treasure.  I heard about vaults and…well…it was too en-enticing to pass up.

He sipped the tea, eyes fluttering shut for a moment as he savored it.  Most of what he ate lately amounted to nutrition blocks and MREs.  He couldn’t remember the last time he’d had a cup of tea.

[[ECHO]]

How about you?  What brings you h-here?  Are you vault h-hunting t-too?

[chronalacceleratorbound-blog]

          Her expression softened, but she nodded in understanding. “I’m sorry to hear that. Losing people you’re so close to never easy, and I couldn’t imagine losing an entire team.” She had to think of her Overwatch crew, which broke her heart that the thought of losing more than they already had. “I... Well, it’s such a strange story I don’t know if you’d believe me.” She admitted sheepishly, rubbing a hand through her messy hair. “I’m not a vault hunter, I’m just trying to look out for people while I’m here. Do some good for people.”

OH BOY CAN I

          Aaand I think I fucked up on someone’s rules. God I’m an idiot.

[angstmemes]

worried starters

trigger warnings apply! ( mental illness, drugs and alcohol use, self-destructive behaviours, and vomiting )

“You haven’t slept for days, have you?” “Are you eating properly? You don’t look it.” “Why do you keep stumbling over your words? Just how tired are you?” “You need to think about yourself every once in a while.” “I know your work is important, but you’re going to end up in hospital if you go on like this!” “You haven’t even touched your food. What’s going on?” “You look so… empty. I’m worried for you, please talk to me.” “Are you alright in there? You’re so quiet.” “How did you get these bruises? Please don’t lie to me.” “There’s something bothering you that you’re not telling me and I can see it slowly destroying you. What happened?” “You’re sleep deprived and you haven’t been eating. Why do you think you’re feeling dizzy?” “I can give you some pills to help you sleep. They aren’t healthy, but this is even less healthy.” “If you didn’t just blink I would’ve sworn you were dead, that’s how sickly you’re looking. Go to bed, please!” “Have you drank all of these bottles in one weekend?!” “I know you don’t want this, but it’s for your own good. Sign the papers so they can pick you up tomorrow and you can get clean.” “What the hell are you doing?! Did you do that to yourself?!” “When was the last time you left the house? Or opened the curtains for that matter.” “Here, just keep breathing. It’ll be okay. Better out than in…” “This can’t go on like this! You’re not eating, you’re not sleeping, you barely talk!” “I’m sorry. I went through your room and found this. Explain what the hell this is doing in your room!” “I thought you’d quit! How long have you been lying to me?” “I’m only trying to help and right now I think I have a much better idea of what you need than you do.” “Did you take anything? Why are you passing out? Hey! Stay with me!”

❝ this old dog has learned a few tricks. ❞

          “And I thought you were a cat person.” So, she was being a little cheeky, grinning broadly at him. “What did you learn, though? Or is it something you shouldn’t share?”

Meeting her eyes, he sighed in relief, nodding.  He’s well built in the shoulders, chest and arms, with coppery skin and long, dark hair.  He adjusts a headset before speaking

[[ECHO]]

Good.  I d-don’t know what I’d do if I infected someone.

Smiling, he held up a hand and pressed it to the window pane.

[[ECHO]]

Thanks for the gift.

[chronalacceleratorbound-blog]

          Lena faltered for a second before walking close enough to press her hand against it in return, offering him a warm smile too. “You’re welcome. I hope you like it.” She looked around for a moment before blinking over to grab a deck chair to place next to his window. She was going to make sure he had some actual face to face company. It was a rare thing that she treasured when she was confined to quarantine. “So, what are you doing here on Pandora? I’ve heard some wild tales from Vault Hunters that came here for treasure.”

          “ Tracer, you were amazing on that last mission. I thought they were going to catch you, but you showed them! Zipping around them so quickly, they never even saw you coming. ”

     Mei clapped gloves hands in front of her as she smiled over at her fellow hero, cheeks dusted with a faint pink color. It was always so exciting to see Tracer in action, but it also gave her such fear whenever she saw her almost cornered. Thankfully the other always knew how to get out of trouble.

[chronalacceleratorbound-blog]

          Lena couldn’t help but grin at Mei. She was always such a sweet bundle of positive energy, the speedster loved being around her. “Ah, you don’t have to worry about me, Mei. I always find a way out. But that wall you threw up really saved all of us! That fella’s explosion would have put a bunch of us out of commission.” There was absolute admiration in her voice. Mei looked out for them all so well, she was glad that she was on their side.

Well, that was unexpected.

And more than a little concerning.

Godric’s door had not been opened in nearly five years.  That in and of itself, seemed almost like some tiny kind of miracle at this point.  The complete blur that he presumed was the woman he’d heard on the ECHO was even more astonishing.

Turning to look out his window for the visitor, he activated his ECHO device.

[[ECHO]]

Miss, you didn’t t-touch anything, did you?  The sh-shivers are contagious.

[chronalacceleratorbound-blog]

          Lena picked up her echo before she caught sight of the man in his window. She waved, grinning at him. “Didn’t touch a thing! Just popped in and dropped the bag for you.” She explained, blinking over to the window. “I held my breath and everything.”
