My guys so my dumbass can't stop making new stories but this also my favorite pair as well (third). I think the two of them fit together due to their view of life along with their professional personalities (not much with sniper cause he throws his piss at people but it's close). If you wondering, this kinda takes place in my other story but you don't have to read that one to understand this one. Enjoy my guys.
"Where is that bloke?"
"No sight on my target yet."
It was a beautiful night as the two snipers were in a comfortable position outside of an apartment complex. They peered down their scope lens with caution as they searched for their target.
It was a simple hit. A man by the name of 'Elder' is a successful boss due to his connections and business associations which led to him being a walking target among the underground gangs and high places in the government.
It seems that everyone was out to get him and he wasn't aware of it in the slightest.
Today, he was the target of two assasins, Mundy, marksman for the mercenaries and Widowmaker, the perfect assasin. These two were the best of the best in their field and they were going to prove it once again tonight. Their weapon of choice was a sniper rifle, it's quick time to kill along with its long range capabilities matched their preferences exactly. They were known around their circles as an excellent marksman.
"Still no sign of him. Where the bloody hell is he?"
"It seems that my target is off his routine."
Mundy was doing his usual business as a local hitman. He was an operative for overwatch and the mercenaries, sure, but he was still an assasin. He has carried that title ever since he left his family back in Australia and never looked back. So when someone is protecting the base at night, he calls around to see if any hits need to be taken care of. The base are unaware of his actions and he would like to keep it that way.
Widowmaker was made for moments like these. It kept her skills sharp and the pay was good, but nonthing compared to committing the kill. She enjoys the feeling she gets after a successful kill, it makes her feel alive. However, she was much different in the past but she only has bits and pieces to go on so she tries not to focus on it too much.
The two snipers are known to be extremely patient but the target hasn't came to the designated area in two hours. They began to grow anxious as they continued to look through their sights.
"This is ridiculous! Seems I'll have to move elsewhere."
"I doubt the target is showing up anytime soon. Seems I'll have to reposition myself."
They grew tired of waiting for their target so they both decided to change positions, maybe they could get a good sight on him from a different angle.
Mundy strapped his rifle to his back and started to move towards a better angle while Widowmaker used her grapple to see if there was a better viewpoint. They moved throughtout the buildings near the complex where the man lived until they finally found a great view on the roof. The flat surface along with the clear view was perfect. What they didn't know is that they were on the same roof.
And just like that, the man was finally visible. He was in his room on a chair smoking a cigar while looking at his tablet. He was completely unaware that two rifles had their sights on him. They had everything lined up and set up as they continued to adjust their positions to increase the chance of their shot landing.
All they needed to do was pull the trigger.
"It's all business mate."
"One shot is all I need."
Wait...
The two snipers quickly surveyed their surroundings after hearing another person around them. They had no idea that someone else would be up here as well. They continued to search until their eyes stopped on each other.
They said nonthing as if this wasn't a suprise to them. They took this time to analyze each other.
Mundy was completely mesmerized by the appearance of the woman before him, he has never seen anyone like her before. The blue skin, the emotionless look but what really got his attention was those golden eyes she had. Only one thought entered his mind as he continued to gaze at her.
'Beaut..'
He was quickly knocked out of his thoughts as he heard the other sniper moving. He looked to the woman who had her rifle aimed at him. It seems that she wasn't as impressed as Mundy was.
She was confused by his actions however but she decided not to speak on it. She had a job to do.
"If you value your life, leave." She said with her cold eyes as her finger didn't leave the trigger. Mundy has been in situations like these before but he wonders if his usual approach would even work this time. It wasn't every day he gets threatened by a women with a rifle.
"Woah Sheila. Let's just put the gun down and have a civilized chat huh?"
"How can I speak to a dead man?"
This wasn't looking good for Mundy. It seems this women meant business so he'll just have to play along.
"I mean, a lot of people want me dead and I get that. One less bloke is one less promblem, right? But don't you have bigger shrimp to grill shelia?"
"You should worry more about your life then my reasons for being here."
So much for a professional approach.
"Well, sorry to disappoint but I have a job to do and it wouldn't be professional of me to leave it undone." He said as he prepared for the worst.
"Interesting, I also have a job to do and I intend to complete under any circumstances... even if that means killing you bushman."
With those final words, she pulled the trigger and let out a barrage of bullets from her rifle. Sniper didn't expect her rifle to be a machine gun at the same time but he quickly recovered as he ran behind a ventilation unit for cover.
"Seems like I got a feisty one."
He quickly prepared his smg as he peeked out of cover to fire his own shots.
This caught Widowmaker off guard but she quickly adjusted as she ran behind a chimney for cover.
"So this one can fight back."
They continued to peek and fire at each other as they fought on the roof, neither of them were letting up as they continued to put pressure on each other. They were a bit rusty with their close combat considering they barely relied on it but it was a good change of pace.
In a way, they enjoyed it a bit.
"You should've left when you had the chance bushman!" She said as she tried to find another weapon. She ran out of bullets but hopefully he won't notice.
"Like I'm going to give you a chance to shoot me in my back while I walk away! I wasn't born yesterday Shelia!" He said as he peeked out and returned fire only to hear clicking sounds.
He ran out of ammo.
"Piss!"
He threw his smg to side only to look up and see her run at him with a knife. He quickly brought out his kukri to block the incoming slash. They continued to fight with their weapons with Mundy and Widowmaker trying to avoid any kind of damage.
"What are you even doing here anyway?!" She asked as she comtinued her attack.
"Watching the moon! It's nice to loo-"
She interrupted his half baked lie with a cut to his hat which fell to the ground.
"Hey! I liked that h-!"
He was cut short once again as Widowmaker closed the distance with her knife to his throat. All Mundy saw were burning gold orbs as her face was just mere centimeters away.
"Tell me. Now." She said with emphasis. Mundy knew it was best not to push his luck again.
"Alright, I was supposed to send a bloke six feet under tonight. He lives in that complex but he probably left since you wanted to start chaos." He said with a bit of annoyance.
"... You're here to kill 'Elder', aren't you
Mundy couldn't believe what he was hearing. How did she know his targets name? Could they both have the same contractor or was it something else.
Their moment was cut short as a blinding light came into view.
"FREEZE! WE HAVE THIS AREA SURROUNDED! DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND COME QUIETLY AND NO HARM WILL COME TO YOU!" He didn't have enough time to ponder on it now as the police helicopter showed up along with the sirens of the cars below.
This was to be expected from the shootout they were had.
"Piss..." he said as the woman sheathed her knife and began to run towards the edge of the building
"Where the bloody hell are you going!?"
"Anywhere but here, bonne chance bushman." She said as she began to grapple out of sight.
Mundy had to act quickly. What he lacked in mobility was made up by his craftiness. He grabbed his rifle and shot out the police light on the helicopter with quick precision and used the cover of darkness to maneuver through the buildings as he cleared some ground to avoid the law enforcement.
"Damn it! They got away." An officer said.
"No worries, they'll be back. We have a feeling these two were after 'Elder' so they'll try again." The sergeant said.
"Why do we even protect him anyway if he doesn't even ask fo it? Isn't he also a bad guy anyway?"
"You're worrying about the wrong things son, worry about your job. I want a full perimeter sweep and be on the lookout for a blue woman and a rough looking gentlemen. That's an order."
With that command, the rest of the law enforcement were on high alert for the rest of the night.
In an alleyway
When he was finally out of reach from the law, he finally had some time to rest and check his supplies. It's been a while since he had to use his close combat skills, he's never been tested like that, especially by that woman.
He reached up to touch his naked head, it's been a while since someone has been that close to him. He's usually known for keeping his distance but he wasn't able to do it tonight.
"I'm gonna need a new hat."
The thought of her still boggles his mind. She seemed dead yet alive and her eyes...those golden orbs have yet to leave his mind as he continued to check his bearings. After his check, he went on to the base. He's gonna have to tell his contractor his hit will be a bit delayed.
He wondered if he'll ever meet her again. He'll be sure to take her a bit more serious next time.
Somewhere else
Widowmaker was sitting on a rooftop a few miles away from her last location. Now that she was alone, she finally had some time to herself to assess what emotions she's feeling right now.
She feels anger because of her failed kill. This was her first time failing to kill someone and she wasn't taking it so lightly. She'll make sure not to fail the next time she gets the opportunity.
She feels excitement from the close combat she was in. It's been such a long time since she fought like that, it was always interesting when you fight someone up close and a bit more rewarding.
And finally, she felt confusion from that man. Something about him stood out to her but she didn't know why. His mannerisms and combat are certainly something to contend with but other than that, he's still an enigma to her. The only thing she has to go on was his slashed hat.
"Hmph." She threw the hat into the air. She wondered why she even took it in the first place.
After she assessed her thoughts, she went back to her base.
She wondered if she'll ever meet him again. If so, she'll be sure to lay him to rest.
The two snipers didn't know it but it seems they have a new target to add on their list.
And they'll be sure to not miss.
My guys, I rarely read about these two so I thought I start one up. This one won't get as much priority but i promise to do my best on this one. See you in the next one my guy.
