Things were much different now. Siren wasn't herself since the incident with Reaper. No, she's far from it. Something - someone - else took her place that day. Talon would tell anyone who asked that "Siren simply became more agreeable." Of course, they'd take the credit for this new...side of her - them. Reaper takes the most credit - which they take great pride in for having their wraith back.

He'd disagree eventually.

Regardless, that has led to the most recent event with Siren. An argument with her found brother, Brann. Well, that's how Talon categorizes this 'interaction'. Really, it wasn't much of an argument on Siren's part.

Ahh, so you're the so-called 'brother' of hers.

It wasn't unusual for the two to be seen together. It was unusual for Siren to be cruel to Brann. She knew how tormented he'd been in life - that's one of the reasons they grew close like siblings.

It was cruel how well she could control Siren's body and voice, could take over, could become Siren. However, as close as the two were it was clear that this wasn't the Siren Brann knew.

Who Brann thought was 'Siren' stalked around him, inspecting him - scrutinizing every detail about him. She came to stop behind him, a ghost of a touch grazing his apparatus. An urge to tear it off overcame her but she decided against it.

Another time.

You're just as weak-looking as I expected.

A small pause before she walked around to Brann's front. It was concerning how this version of Siren walked around so carefree without her masks. No one saw her without them. Her amber eyes stared at him - no, through him. It's like they could perceive every detail about his soul, every atom of his being. Perhaps she could? Her abilities were unique enough to give the impression that maybe she could.

I see where the Wraith gets the nickname from. You're little...but you are no 'knight'. You're more so a...squire.

A mocking laugh left her lips at that.

"Looks like I got a few of them, eheh~" -Kane

The sudden weight on his shoulder wasn't unexpected: Their team had been in this ground transport for hours, driving to an extraction point. Another run in with ex Overwatch agents, and they got their asses handed to them; the whole team was exhausted. Brann especially had been fighting almost like he had something to prove, which means he was the most beat up. Too beat up for Octavius' to fully heal him directly and take care of the rest of the team in their current state. Instead, he had sat next to the knight, letting healing lightly radiate from his body.

If her face wasn't hidden behind her mask, he'd have seen the surprise and concern. A gentle hand came to rest upon Brann's shoulder, squeezing it in an attempt to reassure.

No, this isn't your fault.

It wasn't. She'd never blame him for this. No, this was her choice. Her choice led to this happening. Just like all her previous choices led to her being here. It's just something she'll have to adjust to. Like always.

Please, never think that. We're both victims here.

Gently, like she's handling porcelain, her hand raises from his shoulder to his cheek, caressing.

It wasn't a particularly busy day at the clinic for Enos. He was finishing paperwork for his last patient. Though, he was interrupted by someone running into his clinic, shouting for him. Exiting his office and towards the front of his clinic, "What's going on?" The person who ran in was out of breath from running all the way there. "Person...injured...out-" they gestured towards the doors.

Enos nodded to the person and then made for the exit of his clinic. "Thank you, I'll see to them." One of Enos' quirks was his ability to find injured parties, it was just something that came naturally to him. It also helped when the person who was injured both looked and acted injured.

The wraith took Brann out for a little...date. He wouldn't technically call it that but it's definitely one. They had just gotten out of watching a movie at a theater and walking towards a nearby cafe. However, Reaps being the vigilant agent he is, noticed they were being tailed. He gave nothing away to Brann as they walked, continuing to listen to Brann whenever he speaks.

Reaps kept his eyes out for somewhere to ditch this fool, spotting an alleyway. As they neared it, his grip on Brann tightened. "Follow my lead and remain quiet," he whispered to his knight before he pulled Brann into the alleyway, pressing him against the wall in the shadows. The wraith's nanites took up the space, covering the area they hid in as Reaps eyed their pursuer.

When their pursuer rounded the corner and couldn't find them, they started to step into the alleyway until a familiar voice rang out, "I'd think twice about that." From the shadows emerged The Oni, the shadows clung to his form as he slowly stepped towards the offending figure. That was enough to intimidate the person and cause them to run off.

A silence fell over the alleyway before Reaps and Oni broke out in laughter. The wraith pulled his nanites back to himself and stepped back from Brann. "Glad to know you can read signals," he stared at Genji, shaking his head with a grin on his lips. The Oni responded with mock offense, hand over heart, "You wound me, wraith."

               Upon receiving the news that Brann had, in fact, managed to pull the strings required to allow SIGMA the opportunity to go outside, he’d been overjoyed, to say the least. The days leading up to the night of the excursion leave the astrophysicist in a piqued state of elation, prompting an unusual spike in productivity in addition to his excitement. It’s so much easier to work when he has a goal worth working towards.

Slipping out of the base is another matter entirely, but streamlined as a result of Brann’s careful planning, and once they’re free of the compound and beginning the trek towards civilization, it’s impossible to further contain his elation. “-- Oh, thank you! I’ve been looking forward to this night for weeks!” SIGMA chimes noisily now that they’re fully alone, well away from the facility. “A-are we going anywhere in particular? I am so excited! You are the best!”
