((TW FOR DEPICTIONS OF PANIC, AND GENERALIZED ANGST.))
Spy felt the world around him flicker as he desperately opened his eye. His face had been painfully pressed against the grainy, earthy ground. His entire body had become almost paralyzed.
His body was uncomfortably knotted together, one of his arms having been twisted backward.Ā
The pain hit Spy like a freight train, his eye instantly becoming clouded with tears.
He wanted to see Daniel again.
He wanted to be held close to the man, to be comforted.
Spy felt a thick, cold liquid make its way down his back, and his side. While he couldnāt see it, he had a feeling he already knew what it was.
He felt it break.
The connection of the tube having been severed when he had been thrown about so harshly.
It was just a matter of if this was enough to kill him.
No.. no he couldnāt die like this.
Slowly, but surely, Spy gathered all his energy and strength, and attempted to pull himself to cover.
Heād grit his teeth-the normally small action taking much more energy than he thought it would
Engineer had spat out different insults and swears before heād felt his body fall to the ground.Ā
He hadnāt expected the BLUās to get this far, normally, they hadnāt. He could only wonder if they had finally noticed their Spy missing.
As he inhaled the colder air in the respawn room, he couldn't help but feel a sort of anger start to simmer in the back of his mind.Ā
Phantom pain stung at where he was originally shot at-making him wince slightly.He relaxed a little, the tension in his shoulders becoming a little much for him.
Then stuck a hand into one of his pockets, before he panicked.
Heād wiggled his fingers around, not sure if he was hallucinating it being gone or not. He then bent forwards, and looked down into the pocket.
There wasnāt anything inside.He lost the controls.
Engineer felt anger bubble up in his system, and heād ball up his hands into fists-his knuckles becoming white.
Not only had he lost the controls, he had lost his puppet.
His stomach dropped slightly at the thought of losing the thing he had spent so much time on-the thing he had taken out his anger on.
And he refused to give up on a project so far into it.Ā
Heavy held onto his minigun tightly, using it both to attack the REDs, and to protect his Medic. He scowled as he realized the majority of his teammates were not anywhere near him.
Medic seemed to notice this, too. Heād said some insults in German to himself, hoping Heavy wouldnāt notice.
It didnāt take long for the BLUās to cap again, the administrators voice blaring over the loudspeakers, and filling the teams ears.
āYou have been awarded additional time.ā
Heavy watched as his team all half celebrated getting this far, then, they continued. The BLUs were all thrilled beyond measure-and it showed.
Their team's Demo had fortunately been sober for the occasion, and seeing him being genuinely happy was pleasant.
As the BLUs pushed forwards, one of the REDs could be heard yelling. It was Soldier.
āDamnit! You are all disappointments to AMERICA!ā
Everything seemed to be coming together.It actually felt like the BLUās might win.. However, in an unfortunate turn of events, the entire BLU team was almost instantly wiped by the RED engineers sentry.
At first, it started when theyād all heard three beeps, the sentry having locked onto all of them. A small red dot was trained on Heavy's chest-and in an instant, his body was ripped apart by a barrage of bullets and rockets.
No one had enough time to react-leaving the whole team to become a mess of gore.
The BLU sniper was lucky enough to have been far enough away to pick off the RED with his sniper rifle. Heād let out a low grumble, displeased with how fast his teammates had fallen.
That single loss was enough to let the REDs completely outplay them. And it felt like the round might end with yet another loss to the BLUs rep.
In the back of his mind, Sniper had the memory of getting backstabbed by that.. Thing burned into his mind. It made his skin crawl. He hadn't even remembered noticing Spy go missing, a fault on his part.
And a fault that he could never forget.
Ā --------------------------------------------------Spy felt his vision start to blur as he attempted to pull himself towards the BLU spawn. He was so close, and he was desperate to escape the nightmare heād been put through.
His whole body ached.
He wanted nothing more than death to take him-he didnāt even care if he didnāt respawn properly-because either way, heād be somewhere safer than this.
His thoughts all came to a sudden stop as he was picked up, whoever managed to get a hold of him let out a gruff, concerned hum.
Spy felt his body weight shift as he was turned around. His gut wretched, and he felt his heart drop. His eye widened, new tears stinging the corner of his eye.
All he could do was let out a weak, pitiful huff as he looked back at the two individuals.
Heavy stared back at what remained of his friend, dread seeping into his gut, then anger. He turned him slightly, looking at all the little details. When heād seen the broken tube at first, he hadnāt quite thought much of it.
He couldnāt help but cringe ever so slightly when he heard Spy let out what sounded like a whimper. He stopped, and looked the man in the eye.
āHeavy will make whoever did this to you pay.ā venom seeped through his words, and hung in the air.
āI vill also help!ā Medic chimed in, a little bit too enthusiastic about the situation. āThough.. I am quite interested vith vat has happened to you. Can you speak? Hoo! I cannot vait to get-ā
Heavy turned, giving the doctor a hard glare, signaling for him to stop.
He softly took hold of Spys cheek, rubbing his thumb against it gently. It hurt, seeing his friend like this. Knowing what-no, who the man used to be.
That was when he finally noticed Spys broken arm. He frowned, silently cursing at himself for not noticing before. He looked back at Medic, before speaking again.
āDoctor, come heal little man. He is hurt.ā
Medic nodded, hand steadily holding onto his medigun. He held it in front of Spy, but it never registered him actually being there.
He blinked, eyebrows furrowing in confusion as he tried again. And failed.
Medic had felt irritation bubble in the back of his mind, when he had a sudden thought.
His mind was racing. He stared down at his partner's lifeless corpse, lip quivering. Tears formed in the corner of his eye, as he felt his face grow a little hot. His heart dropped. Slowly, he felt his body drop Daniel.
That was what hurt the most.
Seeing blood start to pool beneath the body, the liquid covering the ground painfully slowly. The lifeless eyes behind Daniels already dark goggles.
Spy was ripped from his mind as his body jolted forwards unexpectedly. Heād taken a few steps back over to the RED spawn, before the world around him suddenly went dark.
Engineer had been grinning ear to ear, Spys reaction having been so, so sweet to him. He loved it. Causing the man grief. Carefully heād clutched onto the controls, his hand accidentally moving one of the sticks on it.
āYO! Incominā! Ah crap-! MEDIC-ā Scout had yelled, the boy's body having been thrown over to where engineers' little sentry nest was.
He landed onto the ground with a hard thud, and heād coughed up a little bit of blood. His tired, hazy vision finally returned to him when he noticed Engineer playing with something.
āWatchu got there? Neva took ya for.. Ooooh what's this do?ā Scout pressed one of the red buttons on the side of the controller, causing the screen to go dark.
Engineer hissed, and looked down at the man angrily.
āWhat in tarnation are you doinā son?ā venom slipped off his words.
āThis is not a toy, you dumbass! It's a highly capable, portable control kit for one of my newest machines!ā
Scout looked on, confused by what the Engineer had just said.
ā..English please?ā
Engineer grimaced, displeased but not surprised with Scout's behavior.
āIt's a controller.ā
Scout grinned as he stood, leaning on the dispenser that Engie had built.
āSweet! So what's it control? Some weird cyborg sentry?ā he giggled at the thought, then frowned. A sentry walking around on two legs was.. Not pleasant.
Engineer didnāt find Scout's attempt at humor all too funny, and heād carefully turned the device back on.
āIt controls one of my newest projects, Scout. Youāll see āim when I get him back over here.ā
His tone was generally bored, his eagerness to end the conversation painfully noticeable.
Scout grinned again, then grabbed hold of the controller. Engineer felt his face become slightly red, and he angrily grabbed up at the air to attempt to grab the item.
Only falling due to his short stature.
āLet's see what this thing can do..ā
As Scout looked at the screen, he sort of chuckled, finding it strangely.. Uncanny, in a way. Slowly, he started messing around with two of the joysticks. He found it difficult to really get anywhere, and whatever this thing had been had moved around almost like a worm.
Heād stuck his tongue out partially, finally managing to get one of its arms to move.
At first, he thought he was imagining it. Then.. he felt a sort of sense of dread.
That was Spys suit. He found it even more unsettling when he had taken notice of a tube that seemed to go into his wrist, and beyond what the camera was showing.
It looked painfully tight-constrained like a boa constrictor.
He was.. Taken aback, to say the least.
Finally, Engineer managed to grab the controller. He grumbled something, then looked at the screen. His eyes widened, then twitched.
The word, āLOWā filled the screen, the individual pixels of the word having blocked out the entire screen.
āScout.ā Engineer said through gritted teeth. āGet the hell out of my sentry nest.ā
The man felt his heart sink a little at Engineers tone.
He never spoke to anyone like that.
āU-uh.. yeah! Yeah Iām leavinā! In fact Iām leavinā so fast th-ā
He was cut off by Engie having pushed him out of his sentry nest, and into the ācaringā arms of the BLU Heavy's minigun gun.
Heavy had moved down the little man with ease. It was the sentry that had taken him by surprise. Though he tried his hardest, he unfortunately was killed by the machine.
Heād taken a careful, shaky breath as his body had come to. Warmth surrounded him like a strange, yet comfortable hug. He grumbled to himself as he readjusted his hat, and let out a soft huff as he awaited Medic to respawn.
It didnāt take long, as their deaths were close in time.
The doctors' ramblings made it generally easy to find him.
āI vill not take zis loss! Nien! My talent is vasted on zis- oh hi Heavy.ā The German's tone immediately shifted when heād seen the bigger man.
Heavy raised a brow, but didnāt push the subject.
āIs doctor ready?ā
Medics fake smile dropped immediately, and he groaned.
āIf I must.. Let us get going zen.ā
Heavy nodded, his minigun raised as he prepared to rush out. It was hard enough as is, just attempting to get out of spawn.
Luckily, theyād somehow managed to capture the point, giving them extra time for error.
One by one, Heavy had mowed down the RED team members, laughing evilly as gore splattered against his thick coat, and his gun. Medic couldnāt help but join in, the gore being all too stimulating.
Heavy was ripped out of his murderous trance when heād stepped on something that belonged to one of the REDs. a strange, box-like device, built almost like the wrangler, one of Engineers weapons.
He raised a brow at the item, and stopped. He picked it up carefully, the small item fitting securely in his large hand. Heād poked one of the little joysticks on it, and let out a small huff.
āHeavy?ā Medics voice called out ahead of him.
āComing, sorry for making doctor wait..ā Heavy had said softly, dropping the item he had held before just out of the man's sight.
Medic felt his face heat up slightly, and he smiled softly.
āOh, donāt apologize, miene fruend. Now, lets get back out zere.ā he placed a gentle hand on the bigger mans cheek, then stepped behind Heavy with his medigun pointed at him.
