hot radiant bitches near u ! ! !

Summary:

crack chatfic (with some serious stuff sometimes) of the strike team!
title inspired by corpse husband and night lovell's song

Notes:

ok few disclaimers; there's "dark" humor in here but it's all in good fun and i only joke about topics i have gone through myself :) (such as jokes about being queer, mental illness, etc.) but it won't be like a really big thing
chamber flirts with anyone and everyone but doesnt ever actually mean it
nobody here is a truly "awful" person, i mean, nobody is a villain in their own eyes tbh
slightly ooc ?? idk i try to write them how i think they would act/text lol
my main focus here is to flesh out characters so any feedback regarding if im making a character to flat or their personality dependent on someone else, i would appreciate any comments pointing it out:)
also logic is very very flawed here lmao

Chapter 1: yuh

Chapter Text

Sova  added you and 4 others to Strike Team

 

Sova: let me clarify i did not want to make this. brimstone ordered. no offense. except cypher. full offense. 

 

Cypher: what the fuckman. i would take a BULLET for you! !!

 

Sova: i wouldn't + L + ratio

 

Cypher: counterratio + im better at recon + ur white

 

Sova: your wife is dead

 

Neon: WOAHHH ladies ladies calm down

 

Cypher: the gloves are OFF, owl boy

 

Neon: please dont kill each other. i hate making new friends

 

Chamber: sadly, i have to agree. making new friends is difficult

 

Cypher: what makes you think we're friends, french boy? go suck a baguette you faguette

 

Chamber: you stalk and flirt with a dude ONE TIME to get secret information and he starts calling u slurs. fucked up.

 

Cypher: and i'll do it again. cracker

 

Chamber: that isnt a slur??

 

Cypher: oh i know

Cypher: if cracker was a slur i'd say it more

 

KAY/O: ok thats enough slur talk

KAY/O: ;ets discuss something more relevant 

 

Neon: like how we're gonna fuck that blackmailer up!!! #striketeamftw2022

 

Chamber: intelligence est attractif, non? wish they can fuck me up iykwim

 

Sova: we're planning on capturing the dude sooo gl with that

 

Neon: thank god for the no fraternization rule or else chamber would probably have whored himself out to the entire vp by now

 

Cypher: the rule has not stopped him

 

Chamber: ^^^ and for the record i am not a WHORE. ur just jealous im hot and cool and sexy

 

Neon: never said it was a bad thing. cause being a whore isnt a bad thing ofc. unless its you. because you suck.

 

Chamber: why all of you hating. yall wish u could be me sooo bad

 

Neon: YOU TRIED TO FORCE ME INTO YOUR WEIRD RADIANT-HUMAN WAR THING WITH REYNA

 

Sova: his what now

 

Chamber: wow sova have i ever told you how hot you are???

 

Sova: sorry i dont like people who want my entire species dead

 

Chamber: youre not gonna tell brim right

 

Sova: im pretty surehe knows 

Sova: if cypher knows, which im assuming he does, then yes he knows

Sova: i think ur forgetting most of this protocol is on a "we're-enemies-but-right-now-we're-working-together-to-take-down-a-common-enemy" term with brimstone

 

Neon: true tbh

 

KAY/O: ok seriously guys maybe we should talk about the idk mission that we have to do to capture the blackmailer???

 

Chamber: ok ok fine. i can be like high up and do my sniper shit like pew pew pew

 

KAY/O: im taking the sky right?

 

Sova: indeedy do. whats breach up to? 

 

Neon: Maybe he doesnt know how technology works like brimstone

 

Breach: oh no i do

Breach: i just dont like you guys

 

KAY/O: i understand completely

 

Cypher: ur guys are alkl so mean.

 

Sova: good. 

Sova: do you think ill get in trouble if i send death threats to cypher

 

Cypher: remember than one time when you were 23 and fell off a ladder

 

Sova: no. thank you for making me remember.

Sova: wait what the fuck is wrong with you 

 

Cypher: my wife is dead

Cypher: but to be honest our relationship had been failing anyway. i devoted my life to information, not feelings. she always felt like i was cold and inconsiderate. she still loved me for some reason, though. and the last words i said to her was that i would be back in a week. i came back three months later and saw her already decaying body. nobody had come to our town to check on its citizens. everyone was gone.

 

KAY/O: dont say it sova.

 

Sova: no bitches??? no damsels??? no female acquaintances???

 

Cypher: what if this was my last staw

 

Sova: straw*

 

Cypher: literally threatening to kill myself rn

 

Sova: fine ok. youre valuable to the team i guess

 

Neon: sova ur such an asshole, what did the poor guy do to you

 

Cypher: lol i know why

 

Sova: he keeps too many secrets. he knows everything?? hes fucking creepy

 

Cypher: im right here btw

 

Chamber: cypher my favorite human get behind me ill fight sova for you!! #SHOOTERS4CYPHER

 

Sova: you want to fight? please

Sova: a fight implies equal footing. this is more akin to an execution

 

Cypher: shittt man he got you and he got you goooddd!!!

 

Chamber: ok buddy you wont be laughing when radiants rule the world

 

KAY/O: not with me around you "french" radiant

 

Breach: ok guys shut the fuck up, sage and brim just told me we actually have to. like bond or something so she gave me a list of prompts i have to ask you chuckle fucks

Breach: if you were able to time travel (in a time machine) to the event that led you to the VP, would you? my answer is yeah, i miss my prison buddies (who were better then u weirdos btw)

 

KAY/O: no. i do not wish to ever see mirror earth again.

 

Sova: tbh nothing really prompted me here. i just wanted to help people. unless theres some hidden reason in my morals that i did, i wouldnt mind. itd be cool to see how much ive grown

 

Chamber: ur nobility amuses me owl boy

Chamber: and yeah. the look on my double's face when i betrayed him was funny af. plus it was nice seeing brimstone so scared for his life lol

 

Neon: no, but also yes. im excited to, like sova, see my progress but im scared i havent learned any control at all :( sometimes it feels like my control over my radiant abilities is 0

 

Sova: i am not a radiant, but controlling immense power is not something so cut and dry, neon. you have a great power and you have a great care with it. youre learning, and youre doing amazing :)

 

Cypher: awww wholesome

 

Sova: I WASNT TALKING TO YOU PRICK

 

Cypher: ok yeah whatever. anyway my answer to the question is no

 

Chamber: why???

 

Cypher: i was very careless, one could say, with my life at the time. i am sure if past me saw i was still alive, he would make sure he finished the job

 

Breach: wow that was dark

Breach: like my god dude 

 

Cypher: waiting for sova's wise words of encouragement

 

Sova: skull emoji x7

 

Cypher: What a charming man

 

Breach: i dont wanna do this anymore. i didnt even want to do this in the first place

Breach: but alas, the captain insists so next question

Breach: who's your least favorite agent and why

Breach: brimstone for me LOL . and you all know why

 

Cypher: chamber tbh. bitch was annoying asf with that stalking n shit . shoulda just asked me for the files i probably wouldve given them

Cypher: i feel like a lot of yall feel as if you cant ask me for stuff which is completely wrong. like i keep my door closed bc im usually without my mask ?? just learn to KNOCK and maybe i'll give u government secrets

 

Breach: good to know

 

Neon: ^^^ and my least favorite agent is jett. she always makes fun of me in a not-very-fun-way for not having alot of control over my radiant abilities :/

 

Sova: i cant believe she would do that :(. neon, if she gives you trouble, please tell someone and we'll give her a stern talking to

 

Cypher: ^this!!! neon we care about you, and we do not want you feeling any less because of radiant-related things. feeling inferior in that field is an awful feeling i dont wish upon anyone 

 

Neon: u guys :(

 

Chamber: i agree. maybe i am the tiniest eeniest peeniest bit biased towards you, but if fraternization isnt allowed here, neither should any 'bullying' of sorts

Chamber: anywho my least favorite would probably be yoru. his arrogance is annoying as fuck

 

Sova: thats big coming from you lmao

Sova: and i surprisngly find yoru's company enjoyable. it is nice to be in his prescence before missions, his calm and confident demeanor always settles down some of our more anxious and rambunctious agents

 

Neon: thats sweet!!! and now im thinking of it? ive noticed that too. he really tries to be a prick but it just doesnt work :))

 

Breach: omg u losers i asked who u guys DONT like.

 

KAY/O: i do not dislike anyone, but i do not appreciate how phoenix always rushes into battle headfirst. though unfortunately the same could be said for most of our younger agents. other than that, skye unnerves me. maybe it is experience with her in mirror world, but she is very unpleasant there.

 

Cypher: whats she like? in mirrow world?

 

KAY/O: the day any of you need to know has not come

KAY/O: i dont like talking about what happened that day.

 

Cypher: understandable. take your time little toaster 

 

KAY/O: never call me that again

 

Cypher: yes sir please dont murder me 

Cypher: anyways, about to come claim my throne on sova's hitlist

 

Sova: reyna

 

Cypher: EXCUSE ME????? I THOUGHT I WAS UR NUMBER ONE WHAT THE FUCK. WHY ARE U ENEMY-CHEATING ON ME WITH HER?????

 

Sova: i have looked into her. why she hates humans. but still i cannot get it out of my mind. how could you want the eradication of an entire species? she is an enigma my mind wishes to never figure out. is there really no other way to bring her life to justice? a part of me knows the answer is yes. but i can not process it. it may sound hypocritical, but violence being the only answer is the most stark and horrifying image in my mind.

 

Cypher: breach can we like not get such depressing questions???? jeez dude

 

KAY/O: true where the fuck are the happy questions like what my favorite color is??? 

 

Breach: we are deepening our understanding of each other so we can work efficiently on the strike team operation. this is not a slumber party

 

Chamber: shit really?? can i leave then

 

Breach: i wouldnt mind that but unfortunately its not my choice

Breach: and since u wont stop fucking whining, final question: most awkward moment with another agent on the VP?

 

Cypher: not gonna say who 'cause privacy reasons, but i was checking my cameras while eating dinner and like mid-pasta-noodle-inside-my-mouth i saw someone put a gun to their head in their private quarters. very awkward for me to say "please dont kill yourself im like three floors away" with my mouth full to a person having a mental breakdown

Cypher: luckily they laughed so hard they dropped the gun and thanked me for "making them feel better" like youre welcom e !!!! not all heroes wear capes B)

 

Sova: thats actually the cutest thing ever but also the dumbest what

Sova: also r they okay????

 

Cypher: later had a convo w/ em about it and its sorted out

 

Neon: you really are a good person cypher

 

Cypher: ah, little firebolt, do not praise me for decency

 

Neon: no im being fr! youre so fucking nice and its hard to come by that nowadays

 

Cypher: stop u will make me feel good about myslef

Cypher: but whats ur most awkward interaction??

 

Neon: hmmmmm probably when jett tried to prank phoenix except it ended up being me

Neon: i smelled like eggs for weeks o(-(

 

KAY/O: alot of your stories include jett. it seems you are around her alot? even when she bothers you?

 

Neon: i think its agreeable phoenix is the most easygoing and welcoming agent here. he forced me to ahng out with them, saying since im a young agent i should hang with them

Neon: i enjoy their company, really, i swear its fine

Neon: plus it is nice cooking some filipino foods for the gang, makes me not as homesick :D

 

KAY/O: alright neon, if you say so

KAY/O: my most awkward interaction has actually been with cypher 

 

Chamber: oooo excited now

 

KAY/O: after one of my first missions i had been damaged pretty badly, and it was very awkward being new and having to knock on cypher's door to ask for repair. now that i've been here longer its less awkward but sometimes i  feel guilty

 

Cypher: ah dont feel guilty man. i do it because i dont mind, i promise. its not like im busy all the time. i just make it seem like that so im not pressured into social situations sometimes loll

 

KAY/O: regardless, i appreciate your patience with me

 

Cypher: <3 appreciate your prescence so its all good

 

Chamber: seeing viper again was very awkward because we have a bit of history

 

Neon: knowing you its sexual history

 

Chamber: NO NO I SWEAR???? we were both working on this important project that maybe kinda went haywire because of me 

 

Cypher: oh that was an interesting thing to leanr about you ngl

 

Chamber: hey old pal o chum of mine please do not breathe a word of it to anyone at all at any point ever :)

 

Cypher: mmmmmmmmmmmaybe

 

Chamber: why r u so nice to everyone BUT ME

 

Cypher: we've been over thsi multitple times !!! 

Cypher: WHEN YOU

 

Chamber: -STALK A DUDE FOR TOP SECRET INFORMATION AND FLIRT WITH HIM TO COVER IT UP, HES OBVIOUSLY GONNA HATE YOU

Chamber: my GOD YOU WILL NOT LET THAT GO

 

Sova: you guys really make the two halves of a full idiot

 

Chamber: oh yeah? whats your most awkward moment? huh???

 

Sova: raze wanted to go through the agents' music so i gave her the key to my room and told her i keep my records there , and like half an hour had passed and she still wasnt back

Sova: i walked into my room and she was LITERALLY PLAYING ALL OF THE TRACKS. 

Sova: and the certain track she was listening to was not. very good for my reputation with her

 

Cypher: 1. ur fucking weird for putting all ur music on vinyl. its not even opera or anything. quite literally just like music from this century pressed onto vinyl bc u think ur special like . 2. what the FUCK DO YOU LISTEN TO???? THAT SHE THINKS LESS OF YOU??????

 

Breach: the fact that one of cypher's pet peeves is people listening to records is the funniest shit lmao

 

KAY/O: no seriously sova what ???? should we be concenred??? do you need to see sage???

 

Neon: knowing sova its probably a song that has like. two cuss words in it...

 

Sova: oh how i wish

 

KAY/O: sova, neon, brim wants u guys for a mission

 

Sova: we'll be there

Sova: only bc we have to tho

 

Chamber: are we just gonna let sova get away with that
