Quicksilver

Showdown

You push and shove your way through the crowd surrounding you. You draw Sombra on the run and let out a magical slash in Tirek's general direction, using the distraction of the slash to cover more ground, when the slash hits him his charges bolt hits the ground beside you and nearly knocks you over. You feel Sombra take control and use your arm to blast a counter spell at Tirek and you follow up with a few slashes with your sword. You are literally slashing at his ankles, he tried to step on you with his massive hoof but you dodge and get back to wildly cutting.

All of your attacks aren't even scratching him, you need to find a new tactic or you count yourself dead. While searching where Tirek is gonna stomp next you notice that the rest of the group is staying and watching.

“Get the fuck out of here!” you say, not looking their way, instead focusing on the battle at hand.

“Someone carry the damn wounded!” Tirek nearly stomps you but you dodge and let out another assault on Tirek’s ankles.

You hear Tirek grunt and the ground starts to rumble. The ground beneath you shatters and gets thrown up into the air, Tirek tries to attack at this moment but you manage to avoid it. You were keeping under Tirek’s legs so he can’t hit you but he suddenly gallops forwards and turns to face you.

He launches a volley of magical arrows at you, to which you dodge; while dodging these you discover that Sombra can block and deflect magical attacks. During you dance of ten thousand arrows, Tirek charges a massive magical blast just beneath your feet and don’t have time to react before he sets it off.

You black out momentarily but find yourself standing in the same place with Tirek preparing another volley. You don’t have time to think about what he just did so you rush forwards. Tirek responds by sprinting you direction and nearly running you down, this cycle repeats a few times.

Presumably out of frustration, Tirek shrinks himself down to your height and teleports himself in front of you. He made the rookie mistake of cocking his fist back to punch you, and you put all your strength into a thrusting attack but Sombra just bounces off his chest. You manage to avoid Tirek's attacks but you can't seem to hurt him no matter what you do


Tirek charges at you, when you try to dodge your left hand gets hit and you immediately lose control of it. You don't feel pain at this point, but you are forced to use Sombra with one hand. It doesn’t matter so you try to slash at Tirek again but even if his movements are slow and predictable you just can't hurt him. You are being whittled away and there is nothing you can do about it.

After another uncoordinated but still savage attack you remember you have the jammer, you think how you should have gone into this with a plan. Tirek begins swinging more punches your way, to which you easily avoid but you still need a plan.

You throw Sombra at Tirek and draw the jammer with your now free hand, activate it and put back into your jacket. Tirek tries to attack you again but you return Sombra to your hand and try to slash him, the sword just bounces off of his neck. You nearly get hit but you manage to disengage him and back off.

When you are ready to launch a new plan of attack the ground beneath you explodes again and you momentarily black out. You regain consciousness only to feel another explosion rock you again and throw you to the ground.

~~~

You awaken again and take a sharp and deep breath and get a chest full of dirt. Coughing, you stumble back to your feet all you can see is a mess of colors and lightning striking around the general area. You notice that Sombra is not in your hand and you try you return him but nothing happens. Remembering that you still have your gun you draw and stumble towards what you assume is the fight.

Your vision is not returning, but as you get closer, you see a large figure that is clearly Tirek. Multicolored sparks are flying off of him and you can see six glowing orbs circling him. You see a huge shockwave emanate from Triek, but you don’t feel anything when it hits you. The colored orbs get scattered; they must have been Rarity’s friends.

You raise the gun and aim as best you can but you arms continue to shake, you take a deep breath and fire. Another shock wave rocks the area and sends you flying into the air.

It feels like you just landed with you head in some woman's lap but you must have been knocked out again. You'll have to check in with a doctor after this. You recognize the tight fitting skirt as Rarity’s before you even open your eyes. You reflexively lick your lips and taste blood, shocking you into opening your eyes.

You gasp and realize you had not been breathing until this moment. A shock of pain shooting through your nerves keeps you in Rarity’s lap. Even if it's a little emasculating you meekly look up back at Rarity who looks like she just came back from a brawl at a funeral. You sit up and move to wipe your face but your left hand is just a big ball of blood stained bandage.

“Silver darling you need some rest.” In response you force yourself back to your feet, you ignore all the pain in an effort to save face.

“Silver!” You almost fall over but Rarity catches you. As much as you enjoy her holding you, you have to get to your car.

With Rarity’s help you stumble forwards but give up and seat yourself on a nearby rock. You try your best to ignore the pain, having Rarity with you and a bunch of women to try to keep up appearances in front of helps.

Rarity takes a seat beside you and puts her arm around you.

“Silver, please you have to be careful.” Rarity starts slowly sobbing and collapses onto your chest. You try to say something but you can’t think of anything comforting. “Please, if you die now I won’t forgive myself.”

“No way I’m going down that easily.” you say calmly.

“Silver I’m so sorry I put you through all this. If you want to leave I won’t blame you.” Rarity sobs a little and holds you tighter.

“If you fixed everything, then I guess the guards are going to be looking for an escaped convict.” Rarity looks pained but also surprised when you say that. “I mean I can always visit under cover”

“That isn’t what I meant.”

“Okay...”

“I... I feel so bad for doing this.”

“...” You have a suspicion on what she might say.

“When I was visiting your home the other day I had come across a few documents and items that were out of place.” You know exactly where this is going. “Together they were evidence of your ‘profession’ I didn’t want to ask you up front because I was sure it was a coincidence.” Rarity lets go of you and scoots away from you. “I had told Twilight but I didn’t know she would tell her brother, he ordered an immediate warrant for your arrest.”


“That’s why you brought me out to the cottage.”

“I wanted to tell you but I had thought about what you had done and if you were really safe, if I am doing something wrong by letting you go free. I am so selfish to want you to stay but I think I can come to a deal with the princesses.”

You can’t help but break into laughter.

“It’s alright I can’t forgive you but I’ll just forget about it.”

“How you can be so blase about this!” Rarity is absolutely shocked. “I had betrayed you! Taken your trust and stabbed you in the back!”

“I didn’t tell you who I really was.”

““For your own protection. Silver, you can’t just brush this off!”

“Yeah but I just want to get back to what we had. I love you and I just went through all of this to get you back and I am not going to let anything get in my way. We can sort things out later, now I just wanna get things back to normal.”

“Silver...”

“We can deal with it later. I just wanna go home.”
