“Oi- Crypto- who’d ya get?”
Octane poked repeatedly at Crypto as he stared at his small paper.
“Wattson, 제길..” Crypto responded slowly.
“Oooh I got Loba- I’d happily trade with you amigo.” Octane added hopefully.
Crypto sighed. “I want to make things right with her, but not with a childish gift. Here.” He forced the paper into Octanes hand. “Make sure it makes her happy, 그렇지 않으면.”
“Will do compadre!” Octane looked down at the name and smiled smugly to himself. “Yesss.”
The streets of Solace city were crowded with rushed people.
The smell of Christmas was everywhere. It was wonderful.
The shops were all lit up and busy. No big deal to Mirage though.
“If you’d excuse me ladies, I’d like to get through.” He smiled his best smile, “I’m on a mission to get a special someone a Christmas gift.” He winked at the girls standing by the door way. They all squealed and moved out of the way quickly, while admiring him as he passed.
Now. What on earth does Wraith like....
A hat?... Ew no.. She wouldn’t look good in a hat. Then again.. she’d look good in everything else.. she always looks good...
He spotted a purple scarf with parts of maroon and small details all over.
He walked out of the store with the scarf in the bag. He held his head up high and walked through the snow covered streets humming to himself. Telling himself he did good on this one. “She’ll love it. I know it.”
Back at the HQ, Wraith sat in the main living area, quietly reading. Hearing the main door open, she turned to see who had come in. No one was there.
“Do it and see what happens.” She said cooly.
Mirage, behind her, froze in the position of scaring her.
“Aw come on, Renee. You’re no fun.” He said brushing off snow from his beard. “It’s cold out there. Heh, isn’t it?” He said kinda awkwardly, attempting to make small talk.
“Aw come on. Why aren’t you talking to me?” He gently placed his hand on her shoulder.
She shrugged off his touch in annoyance. “I’m trying to read.” She scowled.
“Ohh jeez, my bad.” He said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. “Can’t you just lay off the tough girl act now? And you know... let down your guard every once and awhile..?”
She winced and held her head.
Sometimes the voices would beg.
“NO!!” She closed her eyes and brought her hands to her face.
“Renee..?” Mirage came around the couch and kneeled down to see her clearly. “Is.. everything okay?..”
“NO! Everything’s not okay! I.. I just need some space...” She whispered.
“R-right. Okay...yeah.. I’ll- I’ll go...” He stuttered and began stand up before he felt her hand grab at his arm.
She stood up and held her head down.
Was she really doing this? Her of all people... with him? It’s impossible.. to her.
“I need to tell you something.” She looked at him, scared... nervous?...
The robotic voice broke their gaze as it shifted to Pathfinder.
“My apologies for interrupting! But Bangalore has called us all to a meeting!”
Wraith looked down to realize she was still holding his arm and quickly let go.
“Right. Okay Path.” She regained her seriousness and walked back with Pathfinder.
While Mirage stood there with his jaw wide open.
“Wait what- just- what just happened?”
