No One's POV:

The banks of the Tiber River were calm as the rains over the city were still pouring. Suddle a body shoots out from the water. Yn was trying to keep himself up as he dragged himself to shore. He quickly collapses on the ground trying to gather his strength. Yn takes a few moments to catch his breath, the current was a lot stronger than he had originally thought. But seeing what he had to endure if he didn't fling himself into the river he rather take the cold water rather than the beating from Widowmaker.

Yn looks up and sees that he has landed himself in some ancient ruins that were left by the previous dynasty to rule Rome.







He is slow to his feet but he manages to crawl himself into the ruins and sits down with his back to the stone pillars. He looks up to the sky and sees the clouds are still thick with rain.

Yn: Quite the mess you've gotten into yourself Yn... What would Angela think? Hell Pharah's probably going to kick my ass when I get back.

He smiles at the warm memories coming back to him. He had only been with them for a short amount of time but he enjoyed the time that he was with them. Lena's jokes, Winston's endless curiosity, Pharah's training, Angela... Being Angela.

He shakes his head, trying not to think like that.

Yn: She's not into you Jackass...

Yn's thoughts were interrupted when he heard the sound of engines. He looks up and sees a craft approaching from the air. He quickly back into the shadows to make sure they did not see him. The craft flies overhead before banking off back towards the city...

Yn pushes himself out and moves towards the center of the ruins. Trying to get a better picture of the city.

Yn: Knowing my luck Amelie put out a city-wide alert to the ones in bed with Talon. This is exactly what I n--

Yn...

The whisper rushes through his body. He brings his rifle up trying to figure out where the hell it came from... He was alone...

My shadow...

He hears the voice again and looks towards the center of the ruins, he sees something sticking out of the stones. He slowly walks towards it. As he got closer he saw it was a weapon. He kneels down and gently pulls the weapon from the stone. It was a dagger, it was unlike anything Yn had seen before. There was Latin scratched into it, giving away its Roman heraldry. Three skulls burned into the scabbier the markings of death.





You are not meant for this world... But there is use of you my child... You want to protect the innocent from those who seek harm...

Yn unsheathes the dagger, from being in the elements for so long it was in great condition. Its silver color still gleamed brightly, the black trim had not faded either. Yn then saw the face that was carved into the hilt of the dagger. It was of a Roman Centurion...

You will be the one to save this world... Fight from the Shadows and become my Centurion...

Yn looks up and sees a woman standing in front of him She only wore a simple black robe, her face was covered by the hood but he could see the pale white skin and the Raven black hair flowing from her.

Yn: Who are you?

The figure did not speak, she simply turned around and started walking away. Yn tried to get up but she simply vanished into thick black smoke.

Follow your path...

The smoke quickly dissipates and Yn is looking down a road towards the city. There were a few lights but nothing major. He looks down a this weapon and pulls the mag... Empty.

Yn: Great...

Yn tosses the weapon aside and looks out towards the city.

Yn: Into the snake's den....

Watchpoint Gibralter 19:30 hours

Angela was watching the morning news trying to preoccupy herself from thinking about him... That's all she's been doing, she tries to shake her head from her thoughts but it wasn't working. She had only know him for a shrot amount of time and yet he was still making her feel... Better.

Angela: Dieser verdammte Idiot...

The channel flips to international news. It was mostly covering weather patterns and local sports until a breaking story appeared. It was coming from the Italian Republic.

Reporter: Ultimissime notizie in arrivo dal Capitano di Roma. Un fuggitivo armato è uscito dopo essere fuggito da una prigione di massima sicurezza. La polizia sta cercando.

Angela spits out her coffee when she sees the picture of Yn appear on the screen.

Angela: Everyone gets in here now!

The thud of footsetps could be heard as the team walk into the main room.

Lena: Luv what with all the ye--

Lena's eyes fall upon the screen and go wide.

Lena: Oh...

Pharah: He's alive?

Lena: And apparently on the run.

Angela: There's no way Yn would do anything like this. It must be Talon spinning in the story.

Pharah: We need to get to him before he gets himself killed.

Winston comes down the stairs looking at the news channel.

Lena: Winston, how long can the shuttle get us to Rome?

Winston: By my estimates, I can get us there before nightfall.

Lena: Then let's sattle up luvs!

Lena blips away to get her gear ready. The rest do the same, Angela runs into her office and grabs a bag. She quickly puts her armor into the bag. She then runs over and grabs her medical staff from the wall. She then rushes out the door and into the hangar bay. Lena had already fired up the engines to the jet as the team quickly boarded.

Lena: Everyone onboard!

Pharah: Hit it Lena!

Lena: Righto! Next stop Rome!

Lena lifts the aircraft off the ground and heads out towards the ocean, she banks it right and plots a course for the Italian captial.

Angela: Just hang on Yn... Warte einfach durch...

Italian Republic 21:30 hrs

The dim lights of the town were far and few between the dozens of houses that lined the main road. The rain was coming down hard now, making it a lot easier for Yn to stay hidden by sticking to the shadows. Gunships were flying overhead and Yn could see dozens of police armed to the teeth looking for him.

These men were doing their job, and Yn did not want to hurt them; he would only engage directly with Talon agents. He snuck through the alleyways, trying his best to stay hidden. The torrential downpour and the mist coming in kept his advance well hidden. Yn heard footsteps in front of him. There, he could see two agents posted as sentries looking over a river plaza.

Guard: Allora quanto è cattivo questo ragazzo?

Guard: Nessuna idea. Ma il ragno lo vuole tanto, quindi gli viene ordinato di prenderlo vivo.

One of the guards breaks off to do his rounds when he is far enough where his friend doesn't make noise. Yn grabs a nearby brick. He brings it and slams it into the guard's head. Knocking him to the floor and out cold. Yn rolls him over and takes his rifle. He looks down and sees a sat phone on his jacket. He takes it before leaning the guard on a bench to make it look like he is sleeping.

Yn continues on trying his best to stick to the shadows. He jumps onto a nearby edge and jumps into a nearby favilla. He reaches for the satphone and looks down at it.

Yn: Please let this work.

Yn dials in Lena's number into the phone and dials....

Yn: Please, please, please, please...

The phone picks up and a cherry British voice rings from the other line.

Lena: Hello? Who is this?

Yn: Lena it's me.

There was an audible gasp through the phone.

Lena: YN!? What?! How!?

Yn: Not really important right now Lena, I'm in Rome and I need a pickup.

Lena: I know luv! Were heading there now! Seems like you really ticked off Talon. They got your face all over the news in Italia.

Yn: Of course... Look I need somewhere to meet.

Lena: Okay let's see... Ah! Meet us at the Riserva Naturale Valle dell'Aniene. It's one of the many riverfronts on the outskirts of town. Lena where about 15 minutes out.

Yn: Okay, I'll see you guys in a--

??: Quello che è successo?!

Yn looks down and sees guards swarming the area. They found the body of the guy Yn knocked out.

Yn: Ah shit. Got to go Lena. See you guys there!

Yn takes the phone and smashes it. He then hops onto the rooftop and starts running towards the river banks. There was a notable gap between the buildings. He took a running start and jumped, he makes the distance but due to the wet surface he falls and damn near goes over the side. He grabs onto the edge with all his might not trying to fall. A guard was passing when he heard the crash. He looks up and sees Yn.

Guard: Allarme! Ce l'ho!

Yn pulls himself up before the bullets start ripping through the air. Yn begins running as he could hear the guards scrambling and loading their weapons. He then hears the roar of engines as looks to his left. One of the Talon gunships was flying beside him. The doors open and he sees Widowmaker.

Yn: Shit!

Yn looks down towards the ground and spots a stack of hay...

Yn: Fuck it.

Yn dives towards it off the roof, but Widow has already raised her rifle. She scopes in on him and pulls the trigger, the round flies from the rifle and slams into Yn's shoulder.

He lets out a cry before he hits the hay hard, he rolls and is somehow still on his feet. Blood was pouring and the Adrenaline was pumping through his veins. he kept pushing until he rushed down a set of alleyways. The gunship was too small for it to fly over.

Widowmaker: Faites le tour ! Nous devons l'enfermer !

The pilot pulls the aircraft towards a pair of buildings trying to get a better vantage point. Yn takes a moment to catch himself as he looks at his wound. He could see the hole in his shoulder... Slowly close up?

Yn: What the fuck?

I told you my champion...

Yn hears the voice again, he looks down the alleyway and sees the woman again.

You are destined for so much more... I would not let a simple wound be the end of you... You are becoming more than you will ever be.

The woman steps back into the shadows and disappears. Yn shakes his head before looking back. His eyes go black once again and he can see targets, human targets. They were painted in a black tone to see. Some of them were in white meaning that they were good. He saw one red at the top of the building... Widow.

She had taken a sniper vantage on the top of the plaza to make sure he couldn't escape.

Use my gifts and be unseen...

Yn looks down at his hands and sees they begin to disappear. The rest of his body began to follow suit. He was now completely invisible to the naked eye, Yn moved slowly towards the the opening.

Yn: What the fuck is happening to me?

Yn takes in a deep breath before stepping out into the open. He looks around at the guards... They didn't move, or react. He looked towards the side of the plaza and began moving towards there. He saw an opening towards the dell'Aniene. He still took precautions just in case his new "gifts" were to wear out but he made it to the door in one piece.

He pushes the door and moves towards the bridge. His cloaking fades as he closes the door behind him, he seals it with a nearby table just to be precious. He could see the large bell tower and began to move through it.

As he was running across the bridge the gunship shot up from the other side. It's bright light looking at him. Yn covers his eyes and tries to shield himself... He then hears a scream, fire erupts as Yn looks up, the gunship's tail is inflamed. It was now spiraling out of control and crashed into the water. Not enough to completely destroy it but to definitely knock it out of commission. Yn looks up and sees a bright blue armor fly towards him and land in front of him.

Yn: Pharah?

The warrior flicked up her visor, revealing the Egpytian beauty that he had remembered.

Pharah: Yn you ابن العاهرة الغبي!

Pharah stomps over to him and grabs him by the ear.

Yn: Ah! Pharah! What the hell!?

Pharah: Do you know how worried we all were!? You nearly gave Angela a nervous breakdown! Next time you don't get to walk off like a lost puppy dog!

Yn: Alright! Alright! Can we do this later when Talon isn't trying to take my head!

Pharah sighs and lets go of his ear.

Pharah: You're still in a lot of trouble... Let's get you home.

Pharah motions for him to follow as the two sprints toward each other side of the bridge. Yn could see the parked craft with the rest of the team waiting for them. He could see Angela... She looked to brighten up when he saw him. Yn runs onto the ship.

Yn: We're good! Go!

Lena nods and takes the craft off, She shoots up towards the clouds.

Lena: Scramblers on and cloak is engaged! Talon isn't going to find us anytime soon!

Yn sighs before he could look up he feels a pair of arms wrap around him. He looks and see it was Angela.

Angela: Du Idiot! Warum hast du das getan?

Yn: Doc!

Angela looks up at him with almost a teary-eyed expression.

Angela: Why did you let Talon take you Yn!

Yn: I couldn't let them harm you. They had guys in the crowd in the market... I wasn't going to let innocent people get hurt because of me.

Angela nods at your words and slowly lets go. The two sit down beside one another trying to catch their breaths.

Pharah: What did Talon want with you anyway? They went through a lot of trouble trying to recapture you.

Yn looks out the window towards the clouds and the night sky...

Yn: No idea... But I doubt this will be the last run I have with them.

Lena: Well next time we'll be ready!

The group nods, Yn still continues to look out the window at the darkness... It was to be his home from now on.
