Allies x Reader The Full Invasion (Prologue)

“Dia. Do you see the target?”  Francis’s voice came blasting through my headset with that telltale accent of his.

I turned down the volume and looked through the seeker of my brand new sniper.  There was a flash of light blonde hair that caught my eye against I the dark streets below.  I quickly looked around on the roof where I perched and grabbed my, modified-and-not-completely-legal-in-this-or-any-country, rocket launcher. I loaded and aimed it with a, modified-and-pretty-much-legal, automatic grappling hook connected to a thick metal wire.  It launched, and the overwhelming force pushed me back.  

As I secured the opposite end I heard Arthur cautioning to me to be careful.  I guessed he was still uneasy about having a girl on such a dangerous mission, alone. I finished securing the wire and slid down the wire into the open window.  I landed inside without a single sound.  The white walls illuminated by the dim moonlight.

Footsteps.

I slid behind a display case waiting for the target to make their first and hopefully last appearance.  I closed my eyes and prepared for all possibilities.  I knew I was superior to this rookie thief that had been plaguing this area, and was about to show him.  The crook came close and I pounced.

It was as if my animalistic fighting instincts took over, all I could remember after that was my foot connecting with his ribs and my other foot hitting him in the jaw, knocking him to the floor.

“Guys, I got him,” I reported to the team pinning the crook to the ground with my knee.  “Requesting back-up.”

“Good job Dia!” Francis said.  “We’re on our way.”
