Nameless TF2 Fanfic - Bonk goes the Scout

Aim…Lean in…Hold my breath…and pull.

BANG

The tomato soup can flew off the fence with a nice, clean hole through it. Sniper silently praised me for my shoot and I couldn’t be more proud to get Sniper as a mentor and teacher. “Okay sheila, let’s try moving targets.”

I’ll like to note the downside of shooting a gun this powerful, the recoil. If you don’t know hold to hold it and unprepared for the recoil, you could get your shoulder dislocated, or at least that’s what it feels like for me… Number one rule of being a Sniper, don’t be hasty and impatient, that includes in training.

I watch as some box moved along the field by itself, unless it’s who I think it is. “Is that Spy?”
“Yeah…”
“…Can I “accidentally” shoot him?”
“As fun as that sounds, Shelia.  Better not.”

I was a bit annoyed that I can’t shoot the damn Frenchman; I wanted to hit him so fucking hard for the damn scene in the respawn room. I sighed softly and took aim again, I took longer to aim and shoot then Sniper due to I’m near sighted. Wish I had my glasses in my pocket.  
I held my breath so my aim would be still; aiming at one spot till the box came into sight.

BANG

“You’re a natural.” I couldn’t help but smile at that. I wonder if Astrid is okay, I have a bad feeling that she may be on BLU’s side, while I’m stuck on RED. Life’s a bitch, isn’t it?

Spy came over, tossing the box aside. “Not bad…Now let us see how you do in le field” I looked over at Spy, is he seriously asking me to join in their fight, after my first training? Sniper seem to disagree, was he worried for me? “Spy, I don’t think-“
“Okay”
Sniper and Spy looked over to me, as I crossed my arms with a smirk “I’ll join in your fight. Sitting around waiting for your guys would be boring anyways~” Spy chuckled, lighting another cigarette. “I look forward to it”

Sniper sighed, holding onto his hat. Guess he is worried for me “You sound like Scout….Fine, but if I see that you can’t handle yourself. You’re back to training till I think you’re ready.”
“Deal”

I fiddled with the buttons on my- well Sniper’s dress shirt, he told me this was his when he was younger; sadly it was still a bit big for me, but I could care less. Sniper lent me a few things, a shirt with the Sniper emblem for one, a vest that seemed to fit me better than the shirt and an Aussie wide brim hat with one side pinned up. I wondered why I wasn’t given a pair of sunglasses; guess Sniper only had one pair.

Once I was dressed, putting my hoodie in an empty locker, I went outside where the rest of the team waited. I looked over to Sniper and Spy, who appeared to be having a small argument, time to break them up. “How do I look?”
Sniper looked over me, he seemed okay with the clothing, it’s the fact that I could get hurt badly during this. Spy on the other hand had that stupid grin on his face “You look lovely, Mon ami~”
“I wasn’t asking you, Frog”

I felt someone softly tapping my shoulder; it turns out to be Engineer.  “Here, Sniper told me’ ‘bout your eyesight” It’s a pair of sunglasses. I asked how they were going to help me with my eyesight and told me just to put them on.

Everything is so. Clear!

These glasses work better than normal glasses! I have to thank Engie for this later.
“Come on Shelia, I’ll show you where you’ll be” Oh what, I don’t get to run around like an idiot? Sniper took me to the front of the base; I saw the bridge that connected the BLU base to the RED base.  Sniper moved a ladder onto a different side of the wall, where the hell are we going? I looked up and noticed a wooden celling with a small trap door. “What the…”

“Go up” I looked at Sniper with confusion, he wants me up there? Well, I can’t argue with him so I did what he said and climbed up the ladder.  Lifting the trap door open, I was greeted with a small dark room, with a box next to the window that was covered in planks, leaving a small gap for a sniper to shoot out of.
Sniper followed up as soon as I reached the top and handed me a sniper rifle and a knife, I forgot what it was called. “I only come up here for my shift. You can use it today only for the match”

“Okay then…” I looked to the covered window; I could see the BLU base very well.

“Mission begins in 60 seconds…”

“I’ve got to go…” Sniper started to go down the trap door. I swear he mumbled the words, “be careful.” He was worried for me, but as long as no one could get in here, I’d be fine.  I looked over the area careful, taking my chance to see the area.

“Mission begins in 30 seconds…”

“Time to get set up…” I sat myself on the box and grabbed the gun; I looked down the scope and pointed it to where the BLU Sniper, Scout and Soldier would come out.

“10… 9… 8… 7 …6… 5... 4… 3… 2… 1.”

The sirens went off and everyone started running out, rockets, bombs and bullets flying all over the place. I heard the familiar ‘bang’ of a sniper rifle from the opposite side of the field, so I moved my scope. I saw the BLU sniper standing to the side, shooting down Heavy. I didn’t see the red dot from Sniper’s rifle laser, so I guess the Blu Sniper already got him. Unfortunately for him, he was unaware of me. “Say goodbye to your head…” I took aim, holding my breath to still the gun, and then I pulled the trigger.

I suddenly felt slightly sick, watching his head explode into a bloody red mess. I was amazed when his body disappeared a few seconds later; must be the respawn. I got over my small feeling of sickness and got back to shooting; reloading was quicker for me now. I think it’s either the thrill of the match or the fact that I could get killed.
It was nearing the end of the match and the BLU team was still a little confused about how they were still getting headshot by a Sniper even though Sniper was in respawn. I was starting to get used to this, and it was kinda fun. I shot down Soldier, Pyro, Heavy and Medic, Engineer, Demoman – wait. Where’s the BLU Scout?

“BONK!”

Pain exploded as a metal bat hit me right on the head, dazing me. I stilled my body, hearing some small laughs “So this is where you’ve been! Too bad I found you! Haha~” I growled softly, my head hurt like hell, it’s even bleeding! There’s hell to pay!
Without a second to think, my mind filled with rage form the damn pain. I tackled the damn BLU Boston kid and pinned his shirt to the floor with the knife, cracking my knuckles as I glared down at him. “You…Are… Dead.” He didn’t even get the chance to scream like a little girl before I lunged at him like a Hunter from Left 4 Dead.

I could explain in full detail in on what I painfully did to him, but let’s stick to ‘I beat the crap out of him’, shall we?

“Victory.”

“You Failed.”

I’m not too sure which teams they were for, but I’d had enough of the Scout. I literally kicked him down the trap door just as Spy was coming around to check on me – the look on his face when he saw the beaten up Scout was funny as hell.
“What? ...” I slid down the ladder and told Spy to let the guy go; though I think he was more concerned about the blood that covers my shirt and vest.  “Don’t worry; it’s not my blood…” I tried to make him see that I was fine, but he was still a little worried. Well, now that I think about it; I am the only girl and the youngest in the team now. “Come on, Mon Ami… Let’s get you cleaned up.”


“Vhat…” Medic looked down at me with disbelief, staring at the blood that covered me.
“Long story short, I beat up the BLU Scout,” I explained.
Medic looked at me unsurely, but he nodded. “Okay… But do you have any injuries?”
“Just my head…”
He just nodded and told me to wait, with Spy no less. I sighed softly, running a hand through my hair; I could feel my blood in hair, gross.
“Sheila!” Oh, about time, Sniper
“I’m fine, Sniper. And I do have a name you know.” I was getting tired of being called Sheila; no offence intended.
“What’s your name then?” he asked.

“…Felicity… Felicity Ellem.”

“That’s a nice name…”

I couldn’t help but blush a little, I rarely get complements. Medic soon came back with some bandages and a spare change of clothes. My wound got cleaned up and I got changed into some clean clothes.

Sniper and I then left the room so we could get more training, but I hope soon I’ll see Astrid.
