So... not sure if you watched the spotlight or not. But I'd be real curious on your take of Heroes meeting Jetpack Cat for the first time as a teammate.
(Ram and Cassidy preferred, but any others you'd like?)
Like... there's a cat on the battlefield and it can pick you up on a really hilarious leash?
I did!! Oh my god that cinematic at the start?!?!? Loved it. I really hope they bring more of them back in the future, it's what really pulled OW together. Was theorising with a friend over what's gonna happen with the story now, so we'll see where it all goes!
RAMATTRA
He just stands there, dumbfounded. He knows of the monkey, Winston, and he's heard the stories of Hammond and his ventures in Junkertown... but a cat?
The fact that it's wearing a jetpack only fuels his curiosity more. It cannot speak, but it certainly has the smarts in combat. The only thing Ramattra cannot wrap his systems around was the fact that it's staring at him.
When the lights on his forehead flicker, Fika, the cat, tilts her head playfully and then it hits the brooding omnic. He chuckles, putting two and two together. Seems like Fika still has her playful side regarding red lights.
Something within Ramattra stirs and he approaches her, kneeling down and reaching a tentative servos out. She a curious feline, but she doesn't back away, letting Ramattra pet her behind her ears.
"You may just be the thing we need to turn the tides." He rumbles, already scheming of how to use this new addition.
CASSIDY
Just like the rest of the crew aboard the dropship, Cassidy doesn't know what to make of the feline companion. He believes in Winston's words, they're a valuable asset to the team, but..
It's a cat.
Fika stares up at everyone, eyes flitting between her new team before they settle on the cowboy. She knows, it's not subtle in the way he's looking, and she can't help the smug satisfaction that rises within her.
Cassidy's eyes narrow for a brief moment before he sighs, leaning back in his seat.
"We're just gonna trust a cat with our support? What happened to the doc?" He drawls.
But, nobody responds. Instead, Cassidy reaches for the datapad, going over Fika's abilities. There's a moment of silence, then an idea pops into his mind.
"This tech of yours... think we can pair it?"
Fika lets out a small meow, considering his words. Then, she gives the cowboy a nod, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
Cassidy lets out a bark of laughter. "You know, I think I'm gonna like you."
BRIGITTE
She's already in love and already scheming of new armour and cosmetics for the little feline that sits across from her.
"You're just like Mitzi!" She exclaims, leaning forward as she inspects Fika.
And the cat meows in response, clearly excited to be working alongside a fellow cat lover. Her paws tap against her console, adrenaline rushing through her veins at the upcoming mission that she's a part of.
Brigitte doesn't hesitate in moving forward, already holding the cat close despite the meows of protest, but Fika doesn't fight her off, not yet. She is, after all, still a cat.
"I've already got so many ideas on how to upgrade your weaponry and armour. You know, I think Mitzi's stuff might fit you." She beams, ruffling Fika's fur before setting her back down.
"When we're done here, we'll head back to my workshop to get measurements! Oh, this is gonna be fun!"
