Unplanned Guardian

A/N: I have a thing for medics in Video games. Please God bless my tainted soul. Reader is kinda OC reader, which I hope is OK to those who read this. Reader is an angel and I have NO IDEA how many parts I want this to be. This is currently 30+, 40 pages long on google docs, which is a major accomplishment to me.

Y/N had the night off from work. Non-stop, for the past month, Y/N worked, helping patients whenever the other doctors got too busy. Y/N worked at the hospital, working with patients that had Covid, keeping her patients healthy and alive.

Y/N was in the bloodline of angels and for decades, her and her family helped heal anyone in need. However, Y/N wanted to pursue something more at her pace. While still studying to earn her Doctor's degree, Y/N also took up technology. She was the first person of her generation to create the healing staff, also known as “M.E.R.C.I.”

“Merci” worked as a temporary healing staff. It used nanotechnology to immensely speed up the body’s healing process. With the press of a button and Y/N’s fingerprint, it starts its process. A simple paper cut? Instead of taking a week to heal, with the help of “Merci”, it was healed in less than seconds. Got the flu? No worries, the staff is able to take the vaccine and nanotechnology to kill off any bacteria. Everyday, Y/N takes her time to find anything to improve her staff. The previous update to the staff, Y/N created it to work with her wings to heal herself while touching the staff. In order to heal herself, Y/N allowed her bloodstream from her wings (since they have a different blood clot than her body’s bloodstream) to move through her staff and body’s bloodstream to heal herself. 2 months ago, she found a way to heal herself just through her wings without having to hold her staff.

Recently, she and some other doctors have been trying to find the cure for the recent plague. Covid has been around for 2 years, and she hasn’t been able to find a cure. More and more people came under her care, only to pass away with no success of a new cure. However, the past month, she caught onto something. The first week she encountered the cure for Covid was a test run. When the vaccine proved to be effective, through everyone. Y/N took the chance to heal anyone in her care and now that she’s got some time to herself for her hard work, she decided to upgrade her staff.

While she was working, her apartment building in San Francisco, California started to shake. Most likely an earthquake. Quickly finishing up her work, Y/N grabbed her staff and phone. If there was an earthquake nearby, that would mean she would have to get to work to help out. Opening the door to the hallway, the other people on her floor exited their rooms to see what the ruckus was. “Don’t worry everyone, it’s just an earthquake,” Y/N reassures everyone. However, the building started to shake violently, which triggered Y/N to tell everyone to evacuate the building. Helping anyone she could, Y/N walked down the stairs quickly and exited the building.

Once she was outside, Y/N decided to take off to see what was fully going on. Opening her wings, Y/N bent her knees, and jumped, getting momentum to get in the air. Taking to the sky, Y/N flew past her building and glanced around, trying to get a glance of where the earthquake was starting. However, something emerged from her building, headed straight to her. Barely dodging it, the spike submerged back into her building.

Then, instead of one spike, multiple spikes shot out of her building at once, directly aiming at Y/N. She heard screaming below her when the spikes emerged. People were screaming at her, worried their successful angel was going to die. Y/N tried her best to dodge the oncoming spikes but they only enclosed around her. The spikes continued to close out any light that tried to peek through. There were screams of panic and she could faintly hear her sister and father shout to her. Looking the best she can, through the only slim light the spikes prepared to close, she saw her sister and dad urgently flying to her. Then in a split second, Y/N’s vision was completely black.

When Y/N gained her vision back, she noticed she was in something gooey. Opening her eyes, Y/N saw she was in a small building with souvenirs all around her. Looking closely, one of the souvenirs had the Statue of Liberty. That can’t be right. I was in California, how’d I get to New York? Y/N questioned herself as she sat up. There was an annoying beeping ringing in her ears. This was the museum of New York. But the room was filled head to toe with a black substance. And there were bulging things popping out of the ground and wall, convulsing.

Standing up, Y/N took in her surroundings some more, noting everything around her, trying to find a way out. The air smelt of rotting flesh and intoxicated gas, causing her to cough. Searching the floor in hopes maybe someone dropped their gas mask, Y/N saw an orange, clear glass gas mask. Quickly reaching for it, Y/N put it over her mouth and nose and tightened the straps around her head.

The beeping was still ringing in her ears, which brought Y/N back to her current predicament. Spinning around, Y/N saw someone hanging from a pillar of arms and spikes, just like the same one that sprung from her building back in California. Walking closer to the person, her foot hit something metallic. Looking at what she kicked, she noticed it was a pistol. Picking it up, she checked the mag, which was fully loaded. Deciding it was best to keep it, Y/N put it in her back pants, between the jeans and belt she wore, making sure the safety was on.

Carefully moving closer to the person hanging, Y/N noticed it was a man. He had the same mask she was wearing but more advanced. He was covered in a yellow substance, it was like foam architects use for insulation in homes. Worried about the person, Y/N quickly moved her two fingers to his neck, checking for a pulse. When there was a pulse, Y/N started to remove the man from the pole. However, there was a noise coming from the flesh wires connected to the man. Suddenly, there were these parasites coming at the man, so having no choice, Y/N took the pistol out of her back pants and unfastened the safety of the gun. Quickly shooting at the things while still pulling the man from the pillar's grasp, Y/N released him in no time. Grabbing the man before he fell to the ground, Y/N carried him on her back.

Exiting the small building, Y/N saw many creatures wandering around. At first glance, they looked like a normal person but the spikes and red shot eyes told a completely different story. Quickly looking around, Y/N saw a small little shack - probably a storage room - and quickly yet quietly moved her and the man she was carrying to the room.

Pressing the button to open the door, it opened and Y/N rushed in and carefully set the man down and closed the door. Once it closed, Y/N slid down it, already stressed from what’s going on around her.

Finally taking the time to catch her breath, Y/N realized her staff wasn’t with her. Quickly rising to her feet, Y/N decided that it may be where she woke up. Looking at the man, the yellow foam started to dissolve from his body, and deciding it was best to quickly search for it before he woke up, Y/N opened the door, gun in front of her, prepared to shoot those things. Quietly running to the gift shop area again, Y/N saw her gold, long staff, shining bright from the reflecting lights. It was sticking out like a sore thumb compared to the black substance it was around. What was very interesting to her though, was the black substance refused to touch her staff. It looked like it was trying to regrow itself but with her staff there, it rejected from getting close to it. Snatching up her staff, Y/N made her way back to the unknown man. While walking back to the small room, the black substance urged itself away from her staff and herself.

When Y/N opened the door, the man was still unconscious, leaning against the wall she propped him up on. Sighing a relief, Y/N sat next to him and shifted him into a more comfortable position. Laying him down on his side, Y/N shifted him to put his head on her thighs, using them as pillows.

There was constant groaning outside the small shack Y/N and the unknown, unconscious man were in. Y/N didn’t know how long she and the man were sitting there for, but Y/N could feel her wings start to get too tight. The beeping she heard when she saved him long since stopped. Occasionally, Y/N heard a helicopter flying around in the sky. Y/N wondered if whoever was in that helicopter was trying to look for this man. Once all the yellow foam disintegrated from the mans’ body, Y/N could clearly see he must have been a military operator. A Doctor one at that.

He had heavy armor on - probably to protect himself from the monsters outside - and there were obvious badges on his vest letting people know of his rank. Y/N started to feel drowsy, which led her to believe the two of them have been sitting there for a while. However, Y/N decided it would be best she should be away when the man wakes up, hoping to get some answers from him.

However, it wasn’t long before the man started to stir awake. Not wanting to frighten the man when he awoke, Y/N decided best to not move or speak until he knew where he was. She saw him glance around, probably expecting to see someone familiar, but when he glanced at her, shot straight up into a sitting position.

At first, Doc didn’t remember where he was last, until looking around the room. Last thing he remembered was getting cut off from his teammates while on a mission to gain more information on the parasite invading their world. Doc fully expected to be back at base with Eliza or Jordan to be sitting next to him, maybe even Elena - if she wasn’t busy burying her nose in her technology. Instead, he was laying down with his head on some random woman's thighs. He shot straight up, half expecting her to be one of the infected monsters, since he wasn’t fully awake. In his “Fight-or-Flight” mode.

The action, however, didn’t faze Y/N one bit, quite frankly, she fully expected it to happen. She didn’t know him, and he didn’t know her, and if she were in his position, would probably do the same thing. Being the Doctor she is, decided to calm the man down before he did anything to get them killed. In a calm and quiet voice, Y/N told him everything was alright. That they were safe for now.

“Who’re you!” the man quickly questioned. “How’d you get here?” he yet again questioned. How was a nurse here? Why was a nurse in the Hot-Zone.

“I’m Y/N L/N. I don’t know how I got here or even what’s going on, I assumed when you woke up you could give me some answers,” Y/N explained herself.

“I’m Gustave Kateb, an operator working for Rainbow,” Doc introduced himself, having no choice but to work with this woman. “What’s a nurse doing here? Everyone was supposed to be extracted from this area.”

“Like I said, I don’t know how I got here. One moment I’m evacuating my building from an earthquake, then the next some spikes attacked me and brought me here. And I’m a Doctor, not a nurse,” Y/N barked back at the man.

Doc was completely flabbergasted. There was no way the parasite could teleport someone from one place to the other. Either this woman was lying or his situation got a whole lot more dangerous. Doc squinted at the woman, trying to decipher if she really was just lying. But when the woman shifted her position to the middle of the small room and let out enormous pure white wings, Doc knew something didn’t add up.

“Who are you really? Did I die and go to hell just to be teased by an angel?” Gustave questioned the woman. The statement caused the woman to chuckle quietly until she saw his blatant facial expression.

“You serious? You’ve never heard of me?” Y/N asked the man. Doc only shook his head, waiting for an explanation from the angel. Y/N only kept quiet, thinking of what could possibly be going on.

None of what was going on made sense to her. She’s never heard of “Rainbow” and this man has never heard of her and looked bewildered to see her wings. He didn’t look a day over 40, so even if he didn’t know about her family when he was younger, he would’ve at least heard about her at some point.

Then it finally clicked. Whatever those spiky things were, they brought her to a different dimension, at the exact same time she was originally from.

“This is going to sound insane, but do you know the multiverse theory?” Y/N asked Gustave. Doc only nodded his head, not quite sure where this woman was going. “Ok, good. Well, I’m technically not from this,” Y/N paused, choosing her next words carefully. “I’m not from this dimension. From where I come from, my family has been angels for centuries, and it wasn’t uncommon to see me or my family members. Well, a while ago, I was working on my staff,” Y/N showed off her staff to the Doctor. “When there was an earthquake in my state. Well, at least at the time I thought it was an earthquake. When I went to check it out, these red and black spikes attacked me and blocked me from escaping. The next moment, I wake up on gooey black ground in New York,” Y/N explained her bizarre story to the medic.

Doc could not believe what he was hearing. This woman must have hit her head or something and actually believes she’s an angel. Doc thought to himself. But, it’s the only logical thing. He didn’t see her just appear out of thin air, he was in Stasis, waiting for his teammates to save him.

“I don’t know how much I believe your story, but for the sake of surviving right now, I’ll believe you,” Doc finally admits, grabbing at his face.

Y/N only rolled her eyes. If he didn’t believe her, let him believe whatever he wanted to believe, she knows the truth.

The two sat in silence before Doc spoke up, “Your staff, what does it do? You mentioned you were working on it and that you’re a doctor, neither of those have something in common.”

“The staff can heal someone in a matter of seconds, depending on the severity. I call it ‘MERCI’, which stands for Mature Emergency and Reflected Child and Infant,” Y/N explained her technology to the man.

“How does it work? How can it heal someone in a matter of seconds?” Doc asked again.

“With the click of this button here and my finger print, it uses nanotechnology to speed up the healing process of the human body. Let’s say you broke your arm. Instead of needing 6 weeks to heal and physical therapy, MERCI can heal that wound in under 3 minutes.”

“C'est tellement intéressant! Can it heal anything like disease? Let’s say - the flu?”

“Yeah!” Y/N exclaimed.

Doc asked Y/N if he could see how it works, with a closer inspection. Y/N agreed and handed over her staff to him. For a brief moment, when Gustave took MERCI into his grasp, he felt a warm, tingling sensation. Like a sense of security. While examining MERCI, Gustave explained his gadget to her. However, while he was explaining his gadget, Gustave realized he probably didn’t have it on him. Worried, Gustave searched his body, checking the spots where he kept his Stim Pistol.

“Merde, mon Stim Pistol, je l'ai perdu!” Gustave exclaimed while still frantically searching around.

Y/N, knowing little to no French, questions what he just said. “My Stim Pistol, I lost it! It must be back where I was in Statis.”

“Your Stim Pistol? Is that the gun you were just telling me about?” Y/N questioned the French-man.

“Oui!”

“OK, calm down. It’s probably in the gift shop where my staff was, I can go look for it if you need it that bad,” Y/N went to say before Gustave interrupted her.

“No! You could get hurt, it’s best if we wait for backup. We can’t take on whatever’s out there.” There was realization in Doc’s eyes. “How long have we been here? Was there a beeping sound coming from my uniform when you saved me?”

“Yeah, after a while it stopped. And I don’t know how long we’ve been here for. Whatever you’re getting at, I heard a helicopter pass by over us some time ago.”

“Oh mon dieu, espèce d'idiot. That beeping was a distress signal to let REACT know my location! They must have been searching for my distress signal again for the past couple hours,” Doc exclaimed.

“Hey man, I’m not a military operator, I’m just a doctor.”

“‘Just a doctor.’ Did you forget you’re a mythical creature too?” Doc mocked while grabbing his communication device.

“Touche,” Y/N replied while finally closing her wings, already giving them enough time to stretch.

Y/N noticed Gustave messing around with a phone-like device in his hands. She went to question what he was doing before there was a beeping sound. It lasted for a couple of seconds before there was a voice on the other line. “Gustave! Oh my god we were looking everywhere for you! What happened? Why did your distress signal stop?” a woman frantically exclaimed. Y/N let the two talk, half expecting for it to be an important and private conversation.

Y/N took the time to examine her staff, making sure whatever was making the black goo shy away from her staff. It had to be one of the vaccine’s. It wasn’t a very long conversation Gustave and the woman were having until Y/N heard her name pop up in their conversation.

“A woman named Y/N found me in Stasis, so she must have accidentally stopped my distress signal,” Gustave explained to the woman on the phone. Y/N didn’t know what to do, introduce herself or wait until they’re rescued.

“Y/N? Never heard that name before,” a new voice spoke up. Instead of being another female, it was a male speaking.

“Jordan, do we have an extraction team headed their way?” the woman asked the other man on the phone.

“Si, Ela and Lion are almost there,” another woman joined in the conversation. She didn’t have the same accent as the other two that were on the phone. Y/N noticed the woman’s accent was Spanish. “Ay, and the woman that saved you? Is she currently conscious?”

“Oui, infact, she’s listening to the conversation,” Gustave chuckled while looking at Y/N. Y/N’s face immediately lit up red, like she got caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

“Well Y/N? Did I say your name right?” the American woman asked the angel.

“Yeah.”

“Ok, well, I’m Eliza Cohen, the other two on this call are Jordan Trace and Elena Álvarez. We’re sending some of our elite operators to save you. They’re 5 klicks away, Gustave, where are you two at?”

“We’re in a small shed outside the museum gift shop,” Y/N butt in before Gustave could, since he didn’t know exactly where he was taken to.

“Already letting Ela and Lion know of your location. There should be an extraction point right outside the gift shop. Are you two trapped? Surrounded?” Eliza asked.

“I’m not too sure, but I should tell you something before we’re rescued,” Doc told the people over the phone.

“Everything ok? No one hurt, right? Is she infected?” Elena asked.

“No, uhm, we’re fine. No injuries. However, uhm,” Gustave stuttered while looking at Y/N for confirmation he can tell his colleagues what she is. Y/N hesitated before nodding her head. “Y/N isn’t exactly from here. She has wings like an angel.”

There was a long pause before Jordan spoke up, “Doc, are you sure you didn’t hit your head?” However, before Gustave could respond, the duo heard the helicopter nearing their location.

“I hear Jäger approaching.”

“Gustave-” Eliza went to complain before Gustave ended the transmission.

“Your wings are too big to get into the helicopter, and whatever is in your staff is the answer we need to stop this parasite. When Olivier and Ela come get us, follow us to HQ,” Doc explained his plan to the angelic doctor. Y/N didn’t know what to say to his plan, so she just nodded her head before they heard shooting outside the shack. “Ok, you ready?” Y/N felt her heartbeat pick up, the anxiety starting to crawl on her skin. It’s been a while since she’s felt like this. Last time was when she was introducing herself back in middle school.

When the shooting stopped, Gustave stood up with the help of Y/N and the two made their way to the door. Gustave pressed the button and the door opened up. Y/N peaked around the corner, pistol out, preparing to shoot anything the extraction team might have missed. However, Y/N saw a buff and thin figure, guns out in front of them and looking around. Y/N helped Gustave out the door and Gustave called the two operators. “Ela, Olivier! Over here!”

Olivier and Ela hastily made their way to Y/N and Gustave. Lion could see that Y/N was struggling to completely hold Gustave up, so Olivier took Gustave’s large form from her small structure. That was when Ela saw her wings.

“Gustave didn’t fucking hit his head, she’s a literal angel!” Ela exclaimed in shock. Olivier looked at what Ela was seeing. Despite her small frame, Y/N’s wings were huge, easily towering over Olivier. “She’s not going to fit in the helicopter,” was Lion’s only response to seeing the angel.

“We’ve already discussed that. Before we go, my Stim Pistol is back in the gift shop. Ela, can you help Y/N go find it? She only has my pistol and there’s probably not much ammo left in it.”

“Sure,” Ela agreed while starting to make her way to the gift shop. Y/N followed quickly behind, looking around, prepared to shoot anything that comes their way. There wasn’t much conversation, but maybe it was best, Ela needed to be on her top gameplay. Entering the small building, Y/N and Ela quickly looked around the floor, attempting to find the older medics gun.

“Did you notice that wherever she goes, the parasite refuses to touch her?” Lion questioned as he watched the two females make their way to the gift shop.

“Oui, whatever cure is in her staff, that’s the cure we need to end this parasite,” Gustave briefly explained as he glanced around, preparing himself for any threats. Olivier looked at Gustave with astonishment. He said that so nonchalantly.

“Did she already explain how the staff worked?”

“Yes, the staff’s name is MERCI, like thank you in french but it stands for Mature Emergency and Reflected Child and Infant. Apparently she can heal anything with that staff within seconds, minutes even.”

“Impossible! Where did she come from?”

Doc went to explain the whole situation she’s in but the two French-men heard the infected coming their way.

“Oh merde! Ela, Y/N! It’s time to go!” Gustave shouted, hoping the two could hear him. Almost instantly, Ela and Y/N ran out of the building with infected hot on their tail.

“Bez gówna! Y/N, go ahead of me!” Ela shouted an order to Y/N. However, before she could, one of the infected shot a spike at Y/N and hit her leg.

“Oh shit!” Y/N exclaimed as she fell to the floor.

“Y/N!” Gustave shouted in worry. Ela heard the ruckus and quickly shot at the parasite that attacked Y/N. Once it was dead, Ela went to help Y/N up but she shoved her away.

“Go, I can’t get in the helicopter, I’ll follow you guys!”

“Ela, Y/N, hurry up!” Olivier shouted as he shot at incoming infected.

“Go!” Y/N shouted over the gunfire while getting up.

Ela was conflicted, but she had no choice but to trust the injured woman and ran to help Lion with shooting off infected. Olivier helped Gustave into the helicopter then followed suit while Ela defended the helicopter. “What about Y/N!” Doc exclaimed as he saw Y/N lagging behind, also noticing her wound.

“She told me to go without her!” Ela shouted as loud as she could over the blades of the helicopter. Ela quickly jumped in as Jäger started to take off. Lion and Ela shot at the infected that were running to them as Y/N shot at the ones that got near her. Gustave so badly wanted to jump out and help Y/N but it was suicidal.

While Y/N was shooting at the infected, she decided it was best she grew in size. It would help her take off to the sky quicker than if she was normal size. Once the helicopter was high enough in the air, Y/N ran while focusing her energy to grow. Y/N felt her body grow, which felt heavier - as if she was obese - and her wings felt heavier yet light.

“What is going on with her!” Jäger exclaimed as his radar started to detect Y/N’s large form and saw her shift forms.

“I don’t know, she didn’t tell me about this!” Gustave shouted as he saw Y/N take off.

Y/N barely took off without any more problems but not before one of the infected stabbed her side. Y/N let out a shout in pain as she shot the thing in the head. The stab wound stopped her form from growing anymore, which caused her to shrink back to her normal height. Gustave shouted out to her, seeing her get stabbed in the side.

“I’ll be fine! Just get going!” Y/N shouted to Jäger as he guided her to HQ. Y/N held her side, stopping blood from pouring out while her wings healed her.

Y/N followed from a distance, yet next to the helicopter. Her wings grab the air, helping her keep up with Jäger. The wind blew her long blonde hair all over the place, but yet it refused to get in her face. The wind was quiet in her ears, her body adapting to muffle the loud wind naturally, which also muffled the sounds of the blades on the helicopter.

Y/N always loved flying, she and her sister would always race when they were younger, seeing who could fly the highest, or the fastest, or who would save the most animals. When she grew older, she used flying as an escape path from reality. Flying in the clear sky during the day, but night time flies were always Y/N’s favorite. Despite her family being famous, and she loved her people, sometimes they just got too much.

Y/N wondered if her sister and father were doing ok. Knowing them, they were trying to find her. Hopefully they weren’t taken here like she was. She wanted to make sure they were ok and not in this hell hole of a dimension.

While Y/N was reminiscing about her family, she failed to notice the yellow, black and white military boat sitting on the water. She also failed to see that military operators were landing on said boat. It took for Elena to shoot the air near Y/N to get her out of her head.

Y/N glanced down and saw the four operators exiting the helicopter, so Y/N closed her wings and dived down, almost like a parachuter would. Before Y/N got close to the boat, Y/N extended her wings, letting the wind catch her before carefullying flying down, landing safely.

“Holy shit, Doc was right! She’s a goddamn angel!” Jordan exclaimed as multiple people followed behind him, Eliza leading the way. 15 to be exact.

Jordan looked like he was in his mid-30’s, however, white hair started peeking through on his head and face. He had short brown hair and barely a full length beard, copying his hair color. What caught Y/N’s eyes was the bandages barely covering his scarred, burnt hands.

“How is that possible? Who are you really?” Eliza asked the woman. Lion helped Doc past the large group and Ela joined in greeting some of the other operators. Eliza was a middle aged woman, barely any wrinkles on her face, however her face was littered with freckles. She had long, ginger hair braided to the right. She was short compared to Jordan next to her.

“I- ah… I don’t know where you want me to start,” Y/N stuttered nervously. Rubbing her left arm, a habit caused out of anxiety. It seemed like everyone on the boat was staring at her, wondering in amazement how or why she’s there.

“What did you tell Gustave?” Jordan told her, crossing his arms across his chest, waiting to know how she exists. However, this may not have been the most crazy thing he’s seen in his life. The parasite changed his mind on the world and how it worked.

“Ah, well. I’m from a different dimension, where I’m from, my family is descendants from angels. I was taken by the spikes you guys encounter daily. I don’t know why or how that’s possible, but I was just minding my business, working alone before I was taken,” Y/N explained her story yet another time. This time, it sounded to be more real than it did when she first explained it.

“Ha, wait til Harry hears bout this,” a tall and buff Scottish man exclaimed, seeming not to be fazed by her story or appearance. He definitely towered over Y/N’s form, even from afar, she saw this. His head was shaved and he kept his face clean.

“Ok, now what’s your story? Who were you before you were taken here?” Elena asked the small woman.

“I’m a doctor working in San Francisco, California. I’ve achieved many different vaccines for my people and took many people under my wing - no pun intended - when they needed me the most. I’ve achieved to heal people with this staff, MERCI. I can heal people within seconds and minutes with a click of a button.”

“So why follow us?” Jäger asked behind the woman as he exited the front seat of the helicopter.

“Whatever vaccine is in my staff - it’s the cure for whatever this parasite is. Or at least a start to help you defeat this parasite.”

“And your size? How big can you grow?”

Instead of explaining this one, Y/N decided to show them. Taking off, Y/N made sure she wasn’t above the military boat and grew her size. Everyone on the boat watched in amazement at how quick and big she started to achieve. Y/N’s only ever reached the height max of 80 stories. She was the only one in her family to change her physical form. However, for the sake of not losing too much energy, she only reached 20 stories. Switching back to her normal height, Y/N landed back on the boat.

“You’re going to help us rebuild everything once this nightmare is over,” a voice appeared behind the woman. Spinning around, Y/N saw a young man - maybe middle aged - closed a door behind him and approached the woman.

“Harry Pandey, head director of Rainbow. I’ll admit, it’s very interesting to see an angel here in front of me. And I caught your name is Y/N? What’s your last name?” Harry introduced himself. He stuck his hand out towards Y/N for a handshake.

“L/N,” Y/N replied while taking his hand and shaking it.

“If you’d like, we can inspect your staff for the cure and with your help, save thousands of lives. I can’t promise once this is over you’ll return to your world but we’d be honored to have you join us in defeating this parasite plaguing our world.”

“I’d do anything to save someone’s life. The only problem is, I don’t know much about military operations. I know how to shoot guns - my dad would teach me during the summers - but that’s it.”

“We can teach you how and explain all that you need to know but first, let's introduce you to everyone.”

So Harry led Y/N around to meet everyone. She was introduced to the other medic they had onboard, Finka. Her real name is Lera Melnikova. Her partner was Lion - who Y/N already met - and she learned his name was Olivier Flament.

IQ and Jäger were introduced together, the two Germans joined as a group with two other Germans that weren’t on the mission. IQ was Monika Weiss and Jäger was Marius Streicher. Their other two partners were Bandit and Blitz.

Alibi was a short woman but taller than Y/N. She was an Italian woman who joined in with a man named Maestro. She introduced her real name as Aria de Luca.

Fuze and Tachanka were the Russians and also the second strongest operators in Rainbow. They also joined Rainbow with two other operators. Glaz and Kapkan. Fuze wanted to be called Shuhrat and Tachanka explicitly told Y/N to call him Lord Tachanka. Y/N didn’t question the man.

Sledge and Smoke were the Brits. Their other comrades were Thatcher and Mute. Smoke introduced himself as James and Sledge introduced himself as Seamus. He was the second oldest in Rainbow, which surprised Y/N. To her, he didn’t look his age, anything, he looked younger.

Pulse, Jordan and Eliza join Rainbow as the first four operators. They had another friend who wasn’t on the mission named Castle. Pulse introduced himself as Jack Estrada. They were the FBI agents which explained why Eliza and Jordan were the main operators to lead the extraction.

Elena was Rainbow’s head of Research and Development. She’s the one who helped other operators with their gadgets. Y/N requested she be the one to help her improve her staff. Elena felt honored to help the angel with her healing staff, so of course she accepted the challenge. Elena also explained the angel may be able to help her colleague, Jackal, finally sleep. Y/N accepted her request and Harry introduced her to Hibana.

Hibana was probably the most enthusiastic, eagerly introducing herself to the angel. She explained she joined team Rainbow with a man named Echo. She introduced herself as Yumiko and explained how she was so excited to be working with an angel. She told Y/N that she read all about angels when she was younger and dreamt of meeting one.

Rook introduced himself as Julien Nizan and he was one of Doc’s closest friends. He told Y/N that he joined Doc, Montagne, and Twitch on their journey of joining Rainbow. Their unit was the first French, which was pretty obvious to Y/N.

Capitao gave Y/N “I don’t mess around” vibes, and when he shook her hand, confirmed her little theory. He told her his real name but requested that she call him by his code name, explaining he and his colleague, Caveira, were the only ones to use their real names to each other. Out of respect, Y/N obliged and explained she looked forward to working with him and maybe his colleague.

Gridlock was probably the thickest out of everyone she met so far, but when she shook hands with the Aussie, informed Y/N that despite her looks, that it was muscle. Her and her lifelong friend, Mozzie, joined Rainbow together. Gridlock was more serious than Mozzie, which Tori said Max was the most reckless. Telling her that he was the most frequent operator to visit Doc in the medical bay. Y/N laughed at that and explained she was excited to show him her staff. Tori and Y/N had a good laugh at how he would just get in dangerous situations just to get healed by the angel.

Nomad gave Y/N mother vibes. When Sanaa introduced herself, she explained she and her comrade, Kaid, always traveled together. Y/N saw her pointer and middle finger gone on her left hand, which Sanaa noticed and explained how it happened and how she’s been adapting. Especially since she’s trying to get back into drawing.

Lastly, there was Vigil, but he disappeared before Harry could introduce the angel to him. So after meeting everyone, Harry explained that Ela had a sister, Zofia, and that Ela was chosen for the job specifically because of her concussion mines. Harry also explained that over all, including everyone Y/N’s met, that Rainbow has a total of 60 operators. Y/N’s eyes felt like they bulged out of her eyes when she heard the number, but composed herself and explained she couldn’t wait to meet everyone.

Elena came up to Y/N after introductions and let her know that they have VR training, where it’s like the actual thing, but no consequences. Eager to get started, Y/N followed Elena with Harry following to the door Harry came through and went down the stairs.

There were rooms upon rooms under the main deck of the ship. Many of them were occupied by technology and science to find out how to stop the parasite. However, Y/N was directed to a door which led to a small locker room.

“This is where your lockers would be and where our operators prepare for their mission. This is also where we prep you for VR training. And this room,” Elena explained as she led Y/N past the double doors, entering a big, empty room. “Is where you will train the VR. We have a shooting range above on deck. Do you know some guns you can tolerate?”

“I can range from AR’s to Shotguns to sniper rifles. For pistols? Really any, machine gun pistols to regular pistols,” Y/N listed off the guns she’s comfortable with.

Elena continued to explain the process to Y/N, which then Elena decided it would be helpful if Y/N’s wings had protection, so she started listing off what she could do with her wings. Before though, Elena helped Y/N in the VR gear and brought her into the big room. Elena asked what gun she wanted to start with and Y/N explained she wanted the AR and would like the machine gun pistol. Giving Y/N the VR guns, Elena led Y/N to the middle and gave a thumbs up to Jordan and Harry who were in the control room.

“Despite the room being void of anything, when you get close to something in the VR headset, the wall or person will pop up in this room, giving you a sensation of what it’s going to be like out on the field,” Elena explained to Y/N as she guided her to a wall on the headset, and guided Y/N’s hand out to feel the false wall.

“I think I’ve got the idea. I think I’m ready to go,” Y/N said with confidence as she stepped back from Elena and the wall. Elena said that she’ll be up in the control room with Jordan and Harry, and that she’ll pick the simulation. Y/N waited for the screen to turn from black, with her gun held properly in her hand.

There was a sound before Elena spoke through the intercom, “We’ll start with New York, each Hot-Zone has an objective, be sure to complete it before the time is over.” Throwing a thumbs up in the air, the headset changed back to the area Y/N was when she and Gustave were trapped at.

For the rest of the evening, Y/N practiced with the headset, proving her worth that she didn’t realize she had. There were time’s Y/N had to use her staff on herself to heal herself up faster compared without her staff. Y/N had her staff on her back, always having a hilt for her staff wherever she went. Throughout the training, the rest of the operators joined in the control room and watched Y/N perform under tense situations. After the first try on easy mode, Y/N proved that she can easily take on the most difficult situations. Everyone was impressed by her fast and stealth ability, even with her wings on her back.

“I’m impressed, she even uses her wings to protect her from oncoming attacks and uses them for momentum. I want one of you guys to get access to her phone and see if you can contact anyone from her world. I have a feeling someone in her family was a part of the military,” Harry explained his plan. “Elena, I want you to try to find out if you can get into her phone, see if you can reach her world, Gustave, I want you to give her a check-up before her first solo mission.”

“So soon? Shouldn’t she at least be accompanied by at least one of us?” Gustave asked with worry.

“I’ll have Sledge and Nomad on standby in case things get tight on her first mission. Elena, if you would.”

“Y/N, you did amazing, I’ll meet you down by the locker rooms right now,” Elena explained over the com once Y/N’s training mission was done. Out of breath, Y/N took the headset off her sweaty forehead, whipping the sweat off. Making her way to the double doors to enter the locker rooms, Y/N prayed that they had showers on this ship. If not, she doesn’t mind washing in the ocean.

Gustave stared at Y/N as she made her way out of the VR training room. He couldn’t help but admire her morality. She was strong willed and wanted to help anyone that needed it, even if she didn’t know them that well. Besides, having another doctor on duty would help Gustave immensely, especially when she may become the second in command in the med-bay.

Elena quickly asked for her to expand her wings, so she could get measurements for her armor. “I plan to also adjust it to where when you change your size, then the armor will adjust with you.” Nodding her head, Y/N let Elena do her thing and soon she was good to take a shower. Not before Elena showed Y/N her locker, where she could temporarily keep her staff when she didn’t need it.

Turning the hot water on, Y/N stripped from her clothes and stepped into the short wall shower. Closing the curtain, Y/N let the blazing hot water fall on her wings. Y/N felt a visible releaf leave her shoulders, all the stress from today leaving her. Y/N took probably the longest shower in her life, even when she first became a doctor, she never had a long ass shower. Realizing she didn’t have any of her belongings with her, Y/N decided to reuse her clothes until she’s able to get more, and just wash her body of oder with the water, waiting until she can buy hygen objects. Deciding it was best to leave the shower and eat something, Y/N grabbed the towel Elena left for her. Once she was dry, Y/N grabbed her clothes to put on before Elena came back with fresh clothes.

“Gustave suggested you should have a fresh pair of clothes but all we had was a large t-shirt and boxers. Sadly, none of the females we have on board fit your size so you might just have to use your old one’s until we get you better clothes,” Elena explained apologetically. Y/N only shook her head, letting the Director know anything would be fine than her sweaty and dirty doctor’s clothes.

“Also, tomorrow Gustave requested that you visit him to get your physical. Then after that you and I can discuss armor and gear,” Elena told Y/N the plan and Y/N nodded her head in confirmation. Letting Y/N get changed, Elena left the bathroom and waited for her outside. Once Y/N put on the clothes that were given to her, Y/N exited the bathroom with the towel and continued to dry off her wings before letting them air dry.

It was currently 23:00, and Elena led Y/N to the cafeteria where all the operators and REACT workers were eating dinner. Elena explained that they were having a simple dinner such as lasagna and any fruit she decided. Walking behind Elena, the duo grabbed their food and Y/N chose an apple for a side while also grabbing a simple water bottle. Y/N followed Elena to the group of elite operators, who all were talking about random things.

“Ay! Y/N, you did fantastic in training, ye sure yur not apart of the military in yur world?” Seamus asked in suspicion while chewing on some baked noodles.

“Pretty sure, my mom is a nurse while my dad is an engineer. He also went hunting during the summer and he would take me and my sister but when she grew old, my sister didn’t like the idea of killing animals so she stopped and pursued technology,” Y/N described her life in a quick sentence. Her sister was the one who helped her create the idea and look of the staff, of course with a little help from their dad and mom.

“Have you tried to see if you could use your phone while in this dimension?” Elena asked before shoving a fork full of meat, cheese and noodle in her mouth. Y/N didn’t think about contacting her family while in this dimension.

“No, I’ve been busy saving and surviving and my phone is probably dead,” Y/N half heartedly laughed.

“Why don’t you just charge it tonight and try it in the morning?” Julien suggested while taking a sip of some red substance in his water bottle. Y/N only mentioned she’ll charge it and try it in the morning before digging into her food. The recipe tasted exactly like how her mother and father made it. Quickly devouring her food, Y/N felt like she was back home, when she was a kid.

12 year old Y/N was sitting in the dining room with her 11 year-old sister, Rose, and her mom, Leena and father, Dae, having a family dinner, talking about school and homework. The warmth of the food melting in the family of 4 mouths. The heater on and their family pets - a dog and a cat - sitting on the couch in the living room, in view of the family. Laughs were shared and food was shared.

Y/N felt like she was home, and she missed it. She took a drink of the water she grabbed and excused herself.

“Mi amiga! Where are you going?” Elena asked the woman with her mouth full.

“To dry off my feathers!” Y/N shouted over her shoulder to the small group of elite op. Everyone just shrugged their shoulders before continuing their food. On her way out of the cafeteria and to the dock, Y/N passed Gustave, who looked like he had just finished showering.

“Ah, Y/N. I saw you during training, you did wonderful. Harry was impressed and Elena bumped up your difficulty to the real world,” Gustave stopped and praised the woman who blushed at the compliment.

“Thank you. I also was informed you need to see me tomorrow for a physical. What time should I see you?”

“Whatever time you wake up, don't let it be too late like after 11 hundred. Where are you going?”

“I need to dry off my wings and take a nightly flight.”

“Would you like me to accompany you? It gets quite dark out on the sea. And would you care for a jacket?”

“I wouldn’t mind you joining but if you haven’t eaten, don’t worry about joining me. And the cold doesn’t affect me like it would you, I’ll be fine without a jacket,” Y/N explained before starting her trek outside. Gustave followed beside her, excited to see her wings in action again.

There wasn’t much light outside, proving Gustave’s point, but Y/N had faith she would be able to find the ship if they kept a light on. When Y/N exited the small staircase and looked outside, Y/N saw the chaos the parasite caused to New York. The lights that would usually light New York up, were pitch black with the only light coming from the spikes. Creating a hue of red around it.

Not letting the parasite ruin her night, Y/N prepared to take off. Walking to the edge of the military ship, Y/N opened her wings and jumped off, letting the wind catch her. Taking off further into the sky, Y/N closed her eyes, letting the wind dry her hair and wings. She felt free, the smell of the ocean gave her a sense of serenity.

Gustave watched as Y/N glided gracefully around the dark sea. In his eyes, she looked elegant, creating a dark pink hue to cover his face, a feeling to erupt in his stomach. However, while he was watching the angel fly, he failed to notice his colleagues walking up behind him. It wasn’t until Seamus put his hand on Gustave’s shoulder that made him realize they came to watch the angel as well.

“Gee, didn’t realize ye were so infatuated in the bird laddie,” Seamus joked as his deep voice let out a chuckle.

“She’s so interesting to watch, is it bad of me to want to study her and see how she does it?” Gustave questioned his colleague.

“Nay, she is very interesting to watch, anyone would want to know how she does it,” James joins in on their conversation. Despite keeping his cool, he was very excited to see Y/N fly around elegantly with her white wings.

It didn’t take long until Y/N’s wings dried off enough that she was ready for bed. Today was stressful for everyone. And Y/N had a feeling that whatever she was here for, was far from over. Making sure her landing was safe, Y/N noticed all the operators she met today were chatting and some were watching her. Landing enough away from the group, Y/N closed her wings and approached everyone. She failed to see Gustave watching her every move.

“Ay laddie, ye’r a sight to see flying. Are yuh strong enough to carry anyone?” Seamus asked the woman as she approached their group.

“I can carry a max of two, depending who wants to do it. Why? Would you like to fly without the safety of doors?” Y/N joked as she saw some faces contort with confusion. Seamus and James chuckled, accepting her challenge.

“I think I haev it saved on my bucket list.”

Y/N joined in on their chuckling before pardonding herself to sleep. It was then Elena realized that they may not have enough room for her to sleep like the others.

“Y/N, we don’t have space for you to sleep anywhere, we weren’t expecting to have anyone else join us in this fight,” Elena stopped Y/N to explain their problem. Most perked up when they overheard the problem at hand. Gustave wanted to intervene and offer his cot, but there’s a reason the men are in their own space and the women in the other.

Y/N explained it was alright, the cots wouldn’t be strong enough to hold her up, with her wings adding to her weight. She also explained beds were always a problem in her family, so they often slept on the floor with blankets and pillows. “I can sleep basically anywhere,” Y/N explained as she requested she at least have room to sleep. Many of the women protested to her request but Capitao butt in.

“The woman has a point. Cots would just be crushed under her, and if she’s grown up, with her parents joining her, sleeping on the floor, I’m sure she’s fine without a cot or bed for the time being,” Capitao explained as he uncrossed his arms. He was standing back, leaning against the staircase entrance with his arm crossed, watching their problem unfold in front of him.

“Ok fine, we’ll get you some blankets and pillows,” Eliza finally gave in as she guided Y/N back down the stairs. Most of the other operators followed suit, planning to head to bed, considering it was almost midnight.

Gustave and Olivier stayed back, Gustave watching the stars and Olivier fixing his gear, still not having the chance to desuit him from his armor. Before Olivier decided to call it a night, he asked Gustave, “Is there another reason you know why she’s here?” Gustave looked at Lion with disbelief.

“You don’t believe me?” Gustave questioned the man in his mother tongue. Gustave couldn’t believe that Lion of all people was doubting him. Though it made sense. The two French men didn’t see eye to eye.

“Harry and I did some research after he introduced her to everyone, and apparently the real Y/N L/N wasn’t an angel, or a doctor. Y/N L/N died a couple years ago while working on a project in the military. Whoever this is, we can’t trust her. I don’t understand why Harry is trusting her, but I don’t,” Lion explained himself as he crossed his arms. Nothing of this situation made sense to him.

“Harry also explained that she may be able to contact her family from where she's from. If she can contact her family, or someone that can vouch for her, we’ll have enough proof that she can be trusted.

“Do you also realize when you, me and Sledge opened the Gateway, we must’ve triggered something to kidnap her from a different dimension?”

Lion didn’t say anything as he looked down. Before speaking up, Harry intervenes in their conversation. “You may not have known this, but Y/N L/N from our world looked almost similar to that angel. Whether this is a gift from God, or if there really are different dimensions, either way, this is a blessing to help us stop this parasite. Until we have further proof, we just have to trust her. Whatever is happening here, is getting us closer to understanding this parasite.”

Lion only nodded his head to his superior, and Gustave snorted in frustration, and a way to tell Lion, ‘I-told-you-so’. Gustave excused himself and headed back to his respective room, excited to sleep.

On his way to his room, he bumped into Y/N, literally. Apologizing, Y/N laughed while she was on the floor. She explained that she didn’t expect him to be around the corner and scared her, which was funny to her. Gustave lightly chuckled at her childish behavior before reaching his hand out to help her up. Y/N took his offer and stood up. Saying goodnight, Y/N and Gustave went their separate ways.

Throughout the night, Y/N laid restless on the floor, the blankets provided for her wrapped around her small form. Her head rested on the surprisingly soft yet stiff pillow. Her eyes staring at the ceiling, listening to the waves outside clash against the side of the boat. The occasional sound of the boat starting up, keeping the insides warm and some places secure.

This wasn’t how Y/N wanted her day to be like. She expected to wake up and work on her staff, hopefully have her sister visit. Have some coffee for Rose and tea for Y/N. The sisters eat a small baked bread they would buy at their local bakery like they do every time Y/N has time off from work.

The more Y/N thought about her sister, the more she wished that she was asleep and she was really back home, being watched over by her sister. Hoping to wake up and see her sister's bright blue eyes and warm smile. Y/N didn’t realize how much she would miss her sister until now.

Deciding that she wouldn’t get sleep, Y/N quietly left the room full of women, charged phone in hand. It’s better now that she can’t sleep to see if she can contact her family outside this world. Closing the door behind her, Y/N walked around until she found the doors to the cafeteria. Opening the large doors, Y/N swiftly made her way to the back in hopes to find something to calm her nerves.

Finding some tea packets, Y/N prepared a pot full of water and heated up the stove. While the stove was heating up, Y/N opened her phone. Going to the “Phone” app, Y/N quickly found her fathers name and clicked on the call button. It didn’t ring once, indicating that either her father blocked her, or whoever was in this world blocked the phone number.

Y/N tried once again, and this time, it rang once before the call dropped. Having hope that maybe, in some way, she really was able to reach her family outside the hell she’s in. Calling once more, Y/N heard the phone being picked up on the other line. There was no sound coming from the other line, so Y/N greeted hesitantly. When there was no reply, Y/N hung up and called again. Maybe whoever was on the other end didn’t hear her.

It rang once then someone picked up, and this time, there was a voice. It sounded like her fathers, and they sounded urgent. “Y/N?” the voice questioned quickly. Y/N waited a little, not knowing what to say. If this was her dad from her world, she needed answers.

“Dad?” Y/N finally found the courage to ask. The person on the other end shouted something to whoever was with him before he replied.

“Is this my Y/N? The angel?” The man asked, and with the sentence he asked, Y/N knew she was able to reach her family from this world.

“Dad, yes it’s me! Oh my, how are you? Are you ok?” Y/N said as she felt tears prick her eyes. She heard her father start to sob before someone else spoke up.

“Y/N, baby, is it really you? Where are you? We’ve been looking everywhere for you,” Y/N heard her mother question tenderly.

“It’s really me mom, I’m ok, nothings broken,” Y/N chuckled hopefully to lighten the sap reunion. Y/N heard her father chuckle and her sister sob-laugh.

“Where are you baby? When we tried looking for you on your phone, it said it was disabled and in New York. Why are you in New York?” Y/N’s mother, Leena, asked her oldest daughter.

“It’s a long story, really,” Y/N nervously laughed. When Y/N went to explain her situation, the tea kettle started making a high whistle sound, letting Y/N know that her hot water was ready to be put into a cup. Y/N told her mother “one second” then prepared her tea. Sticking the raspberry flavored package in the boiling water, Y/N put the kettle in the sink. Walking out from the kitchen into the cafeteria, Y/N sat at one of the tables and proceeded to tell her long story.

When she was done explaining her wild story, her family was quiet on the other end. Not long after, Y/N heard her father and mother start to whisper back and forth urgently. Whatever they were talking about, sounded like to Y/N they knew why she was taken.

Eventually, her mother explained that they knew this would happen, just not so soon. Then her father spoke up, also explaining that she was there on purpose. He explained that ever since their family became angels, there would be a time one of them would be taken to another dimension to help out with their crisis. Her parents explained they knew it would be her because when she was little, her wings weren’t white, but a gold hue, an indication to start the prophecy.

“Remember that book we would read to you and your sister at night?” her father asked her, which she replied with a yes. She remembered the story her father would read to her and her sister at night.

The story told of a little girl, being raised by angels who blessed her with wings of her own. Though, since she wasn’t a pure angel, her wings were a gold hue. Y/N remembered her mother would always add in that the angels that adopted her were madly in love, approved by God. The story continued with the little girl growing up to heal any disease with the touch of her hands.

The story was her favorite when she was younger. The story was actually the story that inspired her to create MERCI.

“Yeah, I remember that story, what does that have to do with me?” Y/N questioned as she took a sip of her drink, glancing up making sure no one walked in on her conversation with her parents.

“Well. When you were born, we were gifted a book from an anonymous person. Their handwriting was so elegant, far from anything we’ve seen. The book described what you looked like perfectly, so we knew that you were a prophecy. We taught you how to hide your true wings with magic, but of course since you were young, you didn’t grow into it. It’s why you’re able to grow so big, and your wings are actually gold instead of white. The story told us that you would be taken by spikes when you were old enough and would be taken to a world that needed a cure. A different dimension. That you would join a military operating group to help stop the parasite that plagued their world. And once you were done helping them rid of the parasite, that you would rebuild what was broken. That’s why when you were younger, we taught you how to shoot guns, and practice what they know, because we knew you would, at some point, be taken from us to help others,” Her mother explained while Y/N stared at the doors, and listened to her mother speak.

There was a long, silent, eerie pause. Nothing sounded in Y/N’s ears except a faint ringing. The ringing grew louder and louder until it deafened her. She didn’t hear how her mother continued to talk or noticed that one of the operators walked in the cafeteria. The ringing in her ears continued to happen until a deep, loud voice spoke out to her.

“Y/N,” the voice started, rumbling in her ears. “The gifts I’ve given you aren't limited. You’re needed here, something I failed to give them. But fear not, for it is all planned. You have a gift that no one has ever been given,” the voice continued to speak to her. Vigil, the operator that walked in, noticed Y/N and the phone she was holding. Someone was calling out to her, but she didn’t even flinch when they called her name. Vigil also noticed that she didn’t follow his movements when he entered and he noticed her wings. They weren’t white like the others were describing them. They were bright gold, and they were spread out, spreading out two table’s worth of space.

The voice continued in Y/N’s ears, “I have given you the gift of resurrection. You were always gifted it, but I did not want you to use it until the time was right. You will know when to use your gift. For now, prepare and be ready to save those you love.” The voice faded out and the ringing slowly stopped in her ears. Whatever happened left Y/N confused. Was the voice in her head or did someone walk in and speak to her without her knowing. Y/N only heard white noise, like static in her ear until she felt her body go light weight.

Vigil was grabbing something to drink when he heard a soft thud and shouts coming from the phone she provided. Thinking of the worst, Vigil exited the kitchen and looked in Y/N’s direction. Her wings have gone back to their original position, closed behind her back, and her phone dropped on the floor in front of her face. Vigil noticed that she passed out and slight blood came from her hands. There were vertical cuts on her palms with a slight glow of gold coming out of her palm. Reacting quickly, Vigil grabbed rags and secured her hands to stop the bleeding. The people on the phone begged whoever was there to get her to safety. Grabbing the phone, Vigil spoke up.

“I’m an operator for Rainbow. Your daughter passed out and I’m bringing her to our medic. I’ll need you to remain calm, I need to hang up,” Vigil stated to the family on the other line. Y/N’s father told the Korean man it was fine and that he requested their daughter to call them back when she was ok. Vigil ended the call and then picked the angel woman up.

Surprisingly she was light, he expected her to weigh a ton from her wings. Wasting no time in picking her up, Vigil rushed out of the cafeteria and to the medical ward, hoping Doc was awake so he could heal the woman or perhaps explain what was wrong with her.

Empathy

A/N:This is a Dead by Daylight crossover with Life is Strange: True Colors. @artlovingbre challenged me to do this crossover, which I found super exciting bc who doesn’t love someone with abilities :D. Anyways, Bre also challenged me to write a Dead by Daylight crossover with Zelda: Skyward Sword. I may not remember much about Zelda, but I’m willing to write about it :D My inbox should be open, so if you have any requests, be sure to ask and not be shy.

Pairing: Leon Kennedy X Fem!Reader

When Y/N first came into the Entity’s realm, she was overwhelmed by all the emotions the survivors were feelings. With as much as the survivors were feeling and Y/N being scared of lashing out in her first trial, stayed away from everyone. All the survivors assumed she was just a lone wolf, kinda like Jake, but even he knew when he needed to help or be helped. Y/N wouldn’t let people get near her.

In trails, she tended to do the generators alone, unhook people if absolutely necessary, and when she was unhooked, she would get away from her savior as fast as possible. Outside of trials, Y/N tends to walk down the river to where it meets the lake. That’s where she’s able to see the killers when they too visit the lake.

When Y/N first came into the Entity’s realm, all the feelings of killers and survivors overwhelmed her so much that she passed out. Both killer and survivors were confused to see her flop over when she passed out.

The Entity realized her condition and decided it was best to wait so she could meet everyone. The Entity decided it was best to take everyone out of the match and give them their respective rewards.

Eventually, Y/N met Danny, he was the only person who didn’t have much of a aura and he was friendly to her. He was the first to find out about her powers, finding out through her eyes. They reflected the rage David was feeling before he was sacrificed to the Entity.

Outside of trials, Y/N always made her way to the boarder where Danny waited for her. Rin was the next person to find out when she went to the lake to get away from her great great great grandfather. She noticed Danny was talking with the survivor, and when Y/N noticed the Rin, and her aura, suddenly rushed away from Danny. Danny was confused why she suddenly ran off, and when called for her countless times, Y/N lashed out at him. Spirit asked what was up with her, and Danny explained that she’s able to see peoples feelings and feel it herself, so with so much rage the Spirit had, must’ve triggered in her.

From then on, the Rin made sure to limit her feelings when around Y/N, hoping to find friendship that way. Taking the friendship, Danny and Rin accepted the empathetic as their best friend.

❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀

Y/N was in another trial, along with Leon, Nea, and David. Danny was wondering around, stalking and searching for survivors to kill. They so happen to get Eyrie of Crows, the Artists map, which was easy for Y/N to spot where her teammates were.

Choosing a direction, Y/N found the last generator, untouched. Smiling slightly, happy to not be around anyone. Getting to work, Y/N glanced around to see if Danny was around. She was on death hook, and Danny warned her that he brought a mori. He didn’t specify which type of mori, but with her being death hook, and even though they are friends, he won’t turn down a kill.

Halfway done with the generator, Y/N glanced around and saw that David was headed her way, with Danny hot on his tail. Y/N’s eyes grew wide in disbelief, not sure if David knew she was there or not.

Not taking the chance, Y/N swiftly got off the generator and crawled away from David. However, Danny saw her trying to leave, and switched from the injured David to her. Screaming out a “Fuck you David” in frustration, her own feelings, Danny stalked her to exposed. Y/N saw Leon running towards her, probably trying to take a hit for her, but Danny got her anyways. Letting out a shout of pain, Y/N was instantly on the ground, lying, awaiting for what Danny had planned.

“Sorry Y/N, it’s just business,” Danny said genuinely as he stabbed her back, dragging it down to her tailbone, and brought it back up, repeatedly stabbing her. Once he was done, Danny took a picture with his flash photography camera. Getting off her back, Danny then searched for another survivor.

While looking around an exit, Danny heard Nea and David whispering. Leaning against the wall, Danny heard them talking about his best friend.

“She deserved to be mori’d. Her and Ghostface’s friendship shouldn’t be accepted. And she always want to be by herself, she never helps us, and we probably would get generators done faster if she worked with us,” Danny heard David complaining. Not liking how he, of all people, is talking about his best friend behind her back, without knowing why she hides away.

Quietly stalking, Danny waited till David was fully healed and from then, planned his attack. Smacking David, Nea screamed in fright, while David shouted out in pain.

Chasing Nea away, Danny quit the chase and went back for David. Before doing the same mori he did on his best friend, Danny started talking.

“Before you go judging people on why they don’t want to be around you, and taking shit about my best friend, maybe you should get to know who she was. Maybe talk to the Observer on why she stays away from everyone,” Danny growled as his started his mori and attacked David with all his might. Taking his rage out on David.

❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦

Y/N decided to sit with the Observer while she waited for her best friends to get out of their matches.

“Is that why she keeps her skate board with her?” Y/N asked why Nea always keeps her skate board. They weren’t laughing, Y/N knew it wasn’t ok to laugh about Nea’s personal, she just wanted to know more about her fellow survivors.

Continuing to talk, Rin walked into the small hut Y/N and the Observer were in. Smiling as best she could, Rin greeted the Observer and motioned for Y/N to follow her. Saying goodbye to the Observer, Y/N and Rin met up with Danny as the trio walked down to the lake.

“Sorry about the trial, gotta please the Entity somehow,” Danny explained as all three of them sat down. Y/N just nodded before glancing at the water. Watching as it slightly wrinkled from the wind, and the crows diving in to clean themselves. Y/N noticed the moon shone on the water brightly, indicating that the Entity is having a happy night.

Thinking about her childhood, she remembers her and her parents and brother went out during the summers to camp at their states lake. “Why don’t we go for a swim? The Entity’s having a good night, her moons shinning bright, it’s enough light to play around,” Y/N thought aloud her idea to her two friends.

“Skinny dipping?” Danny asked smugly, fulling knowing Y/N doesn’t have a bathing suit.

Rolling her eyes, Y/N laughed lightly, while standing up and taking her shirt off. “No, Danny, I’m swimming in my underwear,” Y/N laughed at his red face. Danny pouted before taking his robe off. Rin joined Y/N in the water, and the three started a splash war.

❦❦❦❦❦

After drying off, with the help from the Entity, Y/N, Danny and Rin walked back to their logs. “I’m glad you were able to cool off a bit from that match. I heard David complaining about how you never help them, but I fully know that you are just protecting them,” Danny apologized while looking at the moon. Y/N glanced at him and for once, didn’t see any aura around him, or even Rin. Glad she didn’t have to deal with any major emotions, Y/N accepted his apology.

Sitting in silence, Y/N noticed a red aura approaching them. She couldn’t tell who it was, killer or survivor, so taking her chances, Y/N scooted closer to Rin.

Sensing the other killer, Danny stood up, calling out, “Who’s that?”

“Calm down, simp, it’s just me,” Frank called out, calmly strutting to them. “I just came to ask the newbie couple of questions.”

“That would be?” Y/N bravely asked, curious what a killer had to ask a survivor.

“If you’re able to see the aura’s of our feelings, do you have feelings of your own?” Frank asked with a smug look on his face.

“Yes, I can, but if extreme emotions come out from someone else, then it affects me,” Y/N stated matter of factually.

“So can you see the look that young cop’s emotions?”

Quirking an eyebrow, Y/N asked, “You mean Leon?”

Frank only nodded his head, glancing behind her, looking at the survivors hanging around at their respective campfire. “Yeah, I can, but why does that matter to you?”

“Have you seen the look he gives you, or have you seen what he’s like while you’re gone?” Frank laughed. Y/N looked back at Danny and Rin, and noticed their aura’s. Franks was red along with Rin’s. Their emotions weren’t making her angry like them, but if Frank continued his teasing, it for should would start to.

“I think I should get going, I need to get ready for the next trail,” Y/N explained while getting up. Frank rose his hands in a mock surrender, before saying, “All I’m saying is, if you really can see people’s feeling by their aura’s, you aren’t very smart at it.”

“Why don’t you go back to your group before I drown you,” Rin growled, emitting a dark maroon hue. Backing away, Y/N decided that it was best she left back to her safe place away from killers and survivors.

However, when she got to the camp fire, hoping to pass by without any hassle, David spotted her and called her name. Not wanting to deal with his nagging, Y/N quietly muttered “Not now David.”

“No wait, I’m sure Ghostface already told you what happened in the trail, but I want to say I’m sorry.”

Stopping in her tracks, she looked at David like he grew another head. Looking around, she caught a glance at Leon, who was emitting a new color she didn’t know of. “Why-why would you be sorry?” Y/N finally asked.

“I visited the Observer, since no one at the camp knows about your past or you overall, and know that we know, I wanted to say sorry. For misjudging you.”

Now that she noticed, David didn’t emit a big aura. It was small, like he was feeling it less when he’s around her. Looking past him, he saw Kate come up to them too.

“It’s true, David explained about your abilities, and we understand why you wanted to be away from us since the beginning.”

After that, Y/N started to accept the other survivors, and their games almost went smoothly.

Leon, after finding out about Y/N’s ability, was embarrassed, because his small crush for her grew into a huge crush, which he was pretty sure was giving off an aura to her.

So, instead of being a pussy, and hiding away his embarrassment and crush, decided to confess to her. So, catching her while she was going to meet up with Danny and Rin, he stopped her.

“Look, Y/N, I’m pretty sure you’ve been seeing my aura, and I just wanted to let you know, that I really like you,” Leon quickly spurred out, quickly hiding his face with his hands. He felt like a middle schooler telling his crush he likes her.

Y/N was stunned for a second, before explaining that she isn’t sure how she truly feels, since she’s always feelings the extreme emotions others feels, she doesn’t know how she feels.

“I don’t know if its you causing me these emotions or not, and just in case you are causing me these emotions, I don’t want to use you,” Y/N explained urgently, and expressed she was scared. Leon, ever being the gentle man, shushed her ranting by placing a kiss on her cheek. Too stunned to say anything more, Leon went back to his rightful spot next to Jill and Chris.

❦❦❦

"I didn’t think he would actually love me!” Y/N shouted while her and her 2 best friends were swimming. She was floating on her back, while Danny and Rin sat in the shallower part of the lake. “And then, when I was rambling, he kissed me cheek!”

“Sounds to me like you also like him back,” Danny said as he glanced at her face. It was still red from when Leon expressed his feelings to her, and when he kissed her cheek.

“How do I know? I mean, he’s feeling these emotions for me, so he’s only rubbing it onto me!” Y/N shouted again, hitting the water in frustration.

“You’re far enough away from him and you’re still blushing!” Rin shouted back, noticing her best friend dunked her head under water. Y/N stayed under the water for a little bit, thinking about what Rin just said. There’s no way I like the guy, it’s just him and his emotions rubbing off onto me. Y/N thought to herself while coming back up to the surface.

“No, Rin, I’m sure its just him and his emotions rubbing off onto me.” Swimming to the shore, Y/N grabbed the towel she brought and started drying herself off. “I don’t want to talk about this anymore so I’m going to head back to my tent and change clothes, I’ll see you guys either in a trail or later tonight. Cya,” Y/N explained and was already heading back to her tent before Danny or Rin could make another comment.

“She definitely likes him,” Rin said sadly.

“Why’re you getting sad over it? We could literally convince one of the survivors to flirt with him, and when she gets jealous, Leon’ll have his answer!” Danny explained his plan to Rin.

Smiling deviously at each other, they decided to talk with their survivor of their choice.

◭◭◭◭◭◭◭◭◭◭

“You want me to do what now?” the pod-caster asked the two killers.

“All we want is for you to flirt with Leon, so then Y/N can finally admit her feelings for him, that’s all we’re asking,” Rin begged the tall woman.

“And what would I get in return?” she asked.

The two killers thought for a second before Danny spoke up, “We confirm you get into matches with one of us every time you go into a trail, and we let you go free for one whole night.”

“Ok, I like that. All you want me to do is flirt with him in front of Y/N?”

“Yes, then us three get her and him alone, so she can confess her feelings.”

“I’m in, Leon needs someone like her.”

“We start tonight, after trials.”

◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎

“Leon? I want to talk to you about something,” Y/N shouted out in the dark forest. She wanted to apologize to him for how she acted when he confessed to her, but she hasn’t seen him since trials ended.

Shouting his name again, she saw him and Jane talking quietly next to the river. Staring at the two, she felt something within her that she hasn’t felt before.

Deciding to ignore it, she went to talk with them, but she saw Jane touch his shoulder, and his body lit up in bright pink. Did he already move on from me? Y/N asked herself. Deciding to let them talk it out, Y/N moved back to her tent, waiting for Rin or Danny to get her.

When she heard Leon and Jane come back to the camp, laughing, Y/N felt a pang of sadness. Why am I even feeling this way? He’s the one who was giving me the feelings of love when he confessed to me. He’s ok with talking to anyone he wants to. Y/N told herself as she looked at the top of her tent. Sighing out, she heard Leon open her tent and say “Knock, Knock,” to let her know he was there.

For some reason, she decided to ignore him and continue to stare at the tents ceiling. “Y/N?” Leon asked, confused why she isn’t responding to him, even though she’s fully aware he’s there.

Clearing his throat, Leon continued what he was going to say, “Feng explained that you were calling and asking around for me, and when I asked where you were, they said you were in your tent.”

Ignoring his comment, Y/N closed her eyes, pretending to go to sleep. Getting frustrated at her stubbornness, Leon continues to talk with her. “If you don’t want to talk with anyone at the moment, let me know and I’ll tell the others to leave you alone but stop ignoring me!” Leon shouted, frustrated.

“Why don’t you go talk with Jane! She kept enough company to you when I went looking for you,” Y/N shouted back at him, feeling his and her own frustration. Why couldn’t he just leave me alone? Y/N asked herself.

“What are you talking about! Jane and I were talking about the next trial, I was teacher her Bite the Bullet!” Leon shouted, moving around and grabbing at his hair. “Why do you care so much that I talk with Jane anyways? You were the one who didn’t want to date me because you weren’t sure about your feelings towards me.”

“Well maybe I lied! Maybe I do like you and seeing you with Jane, so far away, I was also lying to myself!” Y/N shouted while also getting up, facing Leon.

Leon was stunned for a second too long and Y/N took this chance to continue to talk. “And so what if I did love you like you loved me! It seemed like Jane was getting really comfortable with you when you two talked. Touching you’re arm, touching your shoulder! Teaching her an ability doesn’t require physical touch!”

“Are you jealous?” Leon finally asked.

“No!” Y/N shouted, blushing like she got caught doing something she wasn’t suppose to do.

“Yeah, you are,” Leon said, smirking. He walked closer to her while she threw her hands around, saying something he couldn’t understand. Y/N continued to rant but Leon wasn’t listening.

Grabbing her arm, Y/N stopped talking and looked up at Leon just as he shoved his lips onto hers. Staring wide eyes at him, Y/N searched his face for anything that could affect her, and instead, closed her eyes.

Around them, the two let off a bright pink aura, lighting up the room.

When they pulled away, Leon noticed something. He saw her eyes were pink, and he was in a pink bubble.

Y/N opened her eyes and she too saw they were in a pink bubble.

“Is this what you see?” Leon asked as he looked around and at her eyes.

“Yeah.”

“Wow, I’m terrible at hiding my feelings,” Leon laughed.

Y/N laughed just as Leon kissed her again. Instead of hesitating, kissed back immediately.

There was whooping outside, which Y/N knew as her 2 best friends. Leon heard it too and saw the anger on Y/N’s face. Grabbing her waist before Y/N could run off and attack them, Leon whispered, “Let them have it, they helped you find out your true feelings.”

“I guess so,” Y/N laughed as she wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him in her tent again.
