chapter 11 Athena

Arriving back at the house was jaring I could feel a cold ambiance, actually I'm just lying to myself if I say that, I see Saya, Cidny as well as Mikki here all the time, the loneliness I felt is fleading. I can see the enjoyment though, Cidny's eyes grow ever bright, but I feel myself growing further away from I spend my nights with the twins mostly Mikki, because Christian has to guard overwatch, while Johns squad that he created himself protect the school with Saya, I've grown close to Mikki though she opened up on how she changed her personality based on the fact that she couldn't keep me in the city after Saya left, she felt so hurt and that she wasn't strong enough so she let her other persona take over, but it adapted her old one as well. She is more vibrant, calm, composed, and rude when she needs to be, we would patrol the burrows together using cross communication through are helmets, I would try to listen to music, but I'd keep getting distracted by her questions, she would ask me about my past, past choices, past mistakes, then she'd ask the same, and she would also as thing I will do in the future. She would also send me photos that Cidny was sending to their group I really thought this was really unprofessional, but Michael wouldn't stop her she once sent me an image that Cidny took while I was sleepwalking, once I saw the image I was completely astounded by the camera by Cidny, it also seems my body has recognized my new arm. In combat it's .5 of a millisecond slower than I want it to be, but that due to the blade in the forcep.it wasn't the most jarring thing I've ever seen. I felt so embarrassed for the reason being that I was wearing an apron, usually when I cook. My new arm makes combat easier I Alice through enemies fast as well as pull myself up from ledges quite quickly. Also strangling their is a light attached to the thumb, I was told that it was from one of Overwatch's favorite video games when she was a kid. On my walks with Mikki I usually have her cover me with a sniper, because when we would kill a bunch of targets in one room quietly, we would get close to each other and clack are helmets together, then we would hold each other, aswell… Grab at each other, I felt like I was betraying Cidny every time we would do so, I just couldn't control myself, everytime it felt so natural as she would rub the blood all over my helmet, as I would wrap my hands around her neck, I would be lying to myself if I said it was because of the adrenaline, it just felt organic. Later after that happened I explained it to Cidny she just felt jealous and hurt, then gave me an F on two tests then avoided me for a week, I built things back up by opening up to her, I told Cidny that I'm just trying to understand myself better so I can be the best me I can be for her after we get married, also I told her about this animal inside of me that's trying to get out, also how I've been slipping on my control of reality. Somehow being dramatic gave her a better perspective to understanding, though I confused myself when I spoke to her, I thought I was speaking out of character, I guess her and Saya were right I am dramatic, and when I'm straight forward and dejected I guess I get confused as someone else. These weeks have been a whirlwind of just things taken out of context, and the suspense of us waiting for are enemies to make they're first move. From my understanding they're a group that is targeting Overwatch specifically as well as the people she works with, they've only killed Killcres Overwatch's mentor, I didn't know him, she never really spoke about him if I think about it. Everyone is scared, I can see it in their eyes, Cidny is scared I might, Saya is frightened by what she knows is coming, Christian is distraught at the thought that he'll lose his whole family, Overwatch tried to keep calm by trying to stay busy, Christian does all he can to calm her, but there is only so much he can do. I myself am ready for anything, I take my walks at night to clear the field for battle, I discipline my mind so I can have absolute control over my emotions so I can stay focused. I train again and again, then Cidny interrupts me every time to tell me "I don't care if feel like the inevitable end is coming your missing assignments"  then I remember what I signed up for when I told her I loved her. 

Today going on one of my walks I was accompanied by Mikki she watched me from a far as I entered the burrows, the police have been busy cleaning up the bodies that I leave for them, I'm not messy, but when you read it in the newspaper you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between clean or messy. I was told by Michael that there were reports of high tech gear being distributed to curtain people, I head towards that area, Mikki tells me that John while monitoring the scanner at the school. I head  to the warehouse pinpointed on my GPS, Michael reminds that these individuals targeting Overwatch are very capable and that I should use extreme caution when handling them. I arrive at the warehouse to see almost a small platoon of soldiers wearing high tech gear. It seems that someone is giving a speech, I can't get a good look at him, the voice sounds familiar though. I target all of them, before I make my move to blow up their arms stash. Finding there weapon stash was surprisingly easy, I plant some plastic on them, I can't figure out how I didn't see this any sooner, though the burrows is a very big place, they must've scattered throughout burrows. I go back to that the speech still hasn't ended I jup in the middle of the crowd as I blow up their stash, I keep moving faster and faster as I slaughter them with quick succession, cutting through the crowd with a kukri and a five seven made things really easy, as I'm cutting their numbers a masked individual shows in front of me he attacks me with a katana he/she is very fast, but their blade breaks on my right arm, killing them was very difficult they only had weak spot under their armpit. I look around to see eighteen dead soldiers a couple dead citizens that they must've dragged here. I check their faces, I had Michael record everything, they weren't your average thugs but they were people who could keep up with me, I spent over twenty minutes in there trying to kill them all I got shot twice, stabbed three time, and sliced by the person with the katana, I check that person's body, they had some time of cloak, I take it off, it's a female under the cloak she seemed different, it looks like she has had cybernetic enhancements, I hear something turn on there's a projector on the ground I see a man in a detvac helmet "hello Huntley it's been awhile, your probably 'who are you' well I'm gonna be the person that plunges are family sword down your throat and I'm also going to be the one that kills the women you…." I shoot the projector, I knew what he was going to say next, that person didn't look like the leader he looked more like a subordinate with small amounts of power. I head back home, knowing now who my enemy is, and knowing that they're not truly after Overwatch, and that she is just a side objective for them. Brings me relief, Michael sends the recording to the school as well as a text that tells them to meet me at my safe house. [You know this'll be a tough one] (I know) [you might die] (I know) [your also really dramatic you know that] (... I know). Arriving home I was greeted by Cidny she said "oh my gosh, where have you been your sisters been waiting for hours (who?) Your sister, I told michael to send you a message (I don't have a sister) what then who is down stairs with mikki and saya (I don't know)". I head down stairs after I take my helmet off, I hold Cidny's hand as I make my way down stairs, gun in hand, I hear them talking cheerfully I then see the women she has black, looks Asian American, I make my way into the living room (who are you) "oh bro long time no see" she says (I don't have a fucking sister now get out of my house or I will blood your brain--) she then takes off a wig, her hair longer, and has the color of charcoal, but her bangs they're white just like mine (explain) " no apologies ( no) then I'm not going to explain you society dejected man whore, I was here for fifty minutes waiting for you we've haven't met in five years, and all I get introduced by is these three bimbos, I already you've slept with all three, I mean your holding ones hand, she already looks really embarrassed--" Cidny Interupts her "hey bitch this is are house no need to be rude" the girl then speaks again "alright I'm sorry its just I don't think any of you can satisfy my bro --( your not my sister)... Alright not by blood, fuck it whatever, I'm Athena I was sent by the company to help out and strategies what we are going to do and how we are going to handle it okay" ( fine… what is the name of the first person I saw when I opened the door) Athena then replies as she gets close and gropes me "the abyss".

Athena took two to three hours to explain her existence in my life, from my understanding when I was being trained and tortured as a young boy Athena was the daughter of the man who was doing those things to me, she would be there when I would fall she would be there when id crawl, and she would be there when I stood tall. I don't remember her, when I try to my nose starts to bleed. I want to remember her now, because I thought I was alone during that time that I can never remember, she says that after mr.kotegawa killed her father and rescued me and a couple other kids, she left her father's business, and took all her father's money and gave it to Overwatch's boss as a peace offering, so she could see me every time I can back from a mission. At this point I have figured out I have this keen ability to attract women young, and old. Me and Cidny are in my room trying to wrap are heads around Athena "what do you think her motive is" she asks (honestly I don't care) I grab at Cidny "stop I have work in the morning (I have school in the morning)-- yeah so you should stop" I persist to kiss her neck "H please c'mon you know--" I don't let up, during moments where I feel most vulnerable, the moments where I don't have control, I tend to grasp at intimacy "H if we're going to do this--(Michael set alarm, and start the bath at ten….. minutes… before… the alarm, also lights off mode) "lights off mode ?(it sound proofs the walls) wait what oh my god". I still can't believe that they enhanced a soldier with cybernetics to compete with me, sure I have a new arm, but it's more of a hassle then and improvement, I have to hide it everywhere I go. I need to be better, I need to protect her, I need to be the best I can be for her. What I really need is for her to stop coddling me after we have sex, because she forgets everything l, she forgets her past, her worries, and she only thinks about me, but what she doesn't think about is that she tends to lay on my only organic arm, and cuts off the circulation to where I can't breath. I believe she is just mad at me, me being the one to attract crazy, me being the one that's always on her mind so she can't focus, me trying so hard to be the best I can be for her. I think she truly understand how I feel at this point, I can see she tries so hard not to cry, also I can see how she is trying so hard to be stronger than me. Little does she know she stronger than I could ever, I will say this a thousands times more (I love you more than the moon loves the earth )  "ooooo that was a good one, you mean more to me , then the earth means to the sky" (hmm that cliches) "says you" we laugh for a while as fiddle are fingers together "you know I wish this money would just last forever" ( I think you've said that before) " don't ruin it H (shh) what ? (Listen… grande) I feel destroyed I feel broken I push rubbly of off of me I hear sirens someone yelling my name Iam helped by Christian "hey man you okay" (where is Cidny) I look around and see a body bag (Christian where is she) "I'm sorry man" everything has left me (no… no no no no no no) " I'm sorry we tried to contact you but.." (ahhhhhhhhhh) I take Christian and point is at my skull he then disarms me, after he does that I beat him senseless I can't stop crying I run to the body bag to make sure… I regret that I hold Cidny in my arms and I can't stop crying, (I love you… I love so much) I then put her back in the body bag and grab my helmet then leave to kill them all I head to the burrows with only my bare hands
