Chapter 3
~~~Satya is disgusted by the world's careless attempt of having order. Sanjay and the rest of Vishkar are suspicious of Overwatch's recall.~~~
Symmetra's eyebrows narrowed lightly as she witnessed the images flash before her on the screen of Vishkar's briefing room. She was slightly infuriated as she took in the destruction of each picture with careful calculations.
One of Numbani's most fascinating and most important skyscraper was slightly destroyed on the side of the top floor.
A steel railroad bridge collapsed as people on the ground looked in horror at the fire that engulfed the boxcars that impacted the ground before them.
Machinery that Satya dreaded to see again attacking the Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow.
Two terrified children kneeled down beside their fallen Omnic as two guns pointed at the trio.
A woman in Egypt mourning the death of her child as she cradled him in her arms. Her tears had moved Satya's emotions slightly. The flashback of the Brazilian woman and her daughter, who's face had been severely burnt, haunted her. She pushed it away as she witnessed the last picture.
A riot in England erupted with Omnic supporters and Omnics rebeling against the police that were shielding themselves from their attacks.
The results of a war so cruel that even Satya flinched lightly at the memories that wanted to taunt her of her painful upbringing. She inhaled a sharp breath as she closed her eyes tightly at them.
Never, never again, she thought as she bit the inside of her cheek.
I am capable of being strong. I am capable of healing from them.
Believing that the memories no longer wished to torture her, she straightened up as she opened her eyes again to continue her hard gaze on the screen. She finally released the breath that she held in, but it wasn't for a good purpose. She was simply disappointed.
So little order the world around us possess, she thought sadly as she continued to listen intently to the voice in the video.
"Someone has to do something! We have to do something!", the image of the gorilla, Winston, a former member of Overwatch, came into view again.
How an ape was able to communicate like a human being was beyond her vast knowledge as she watched him release an irritated sigh. He looked directly into the camera, a fierce wave of determination flashed behind his thin glasses. It was the same with the tone of his voice as he continued.
"We can make a difference again. The world needs us now, more than ever."
He took off his glasses, showcasing a pair of bright yellow eyes, still holding onto that look of determination. Satya was slightly impressed by that. Slightly.
"Are you with me?"
With a slight smirk on his face, the transmission cut off, leaving Satya and the rest of the Vishkar agents in silence. Sanjay Korpal cleared his throat as he stepped in front of the black screen. His expression was unreadable, but it was apparent in his voice that he too was worried.
"As you all know, Overwatch was indeed disbanded. However, it seems that these agents are coming back together to form what they have started: to make the world safe.", he released a quiet sigh. "Quite frankly, their motives may still be the same as before if they have any thoughts on resurrecting Blackwatch."
"Do you believe that the people are willing to accept Overwatch again?", a Vishkar agent asked aloud to everyone in the room. Satya turned her head towards the agent as she took in his words. "They already have to face the Omnics, Talon, Junkers, Los Muertos, and other dangerous hooligans already. Overwatch will only be another group to fear." Satya agreed as well as the others among her with their fellow agent. She turned her gaze towards Sanjay to hear his response.
"Yes, that is true.", Sanjay replied to the agent before scanning everyone with a silent, hardened gaze. "However, the people trust corporations like us to protect them. Make their lives a bit easier." He stayed quiet for a moment, clearly thinking inside his mind before he looked at Satya. She looked back at him, waiting for him to continue.
"And we as Vishkar Corporation will make sure that Overwatch will protect the people, as well." He raised his chin a bit higher before speaking. "Satya Viswani, our most promising architect and our best negotiator will be departing from our headquarters and oversee the development of Overwatch's recall. Any suspicious activity will be reported from her and will be used against Overwatch for their violation of the Petras Act. When that happens, Overwatch will forever be terminated. For now, she shall see if they are true to their word of making a difference in this forsaken world."
Satya nodded as she wrapped her hands together in a tight grip as the agents stared at her in silent appreciation. Though she was flattered, she still wasn't used to the feeling of being watched. No matter what she did, she didn't want to be watched intensely.
"Yes, I understand what I must do, Sanjay." Her voice came out calm just as she had planned it. But she will prevail just long enough to be no longer seen.
"Excellent. You will leave right away, Satya." He narrowed his eyes lightly. "Do not fail in the name of Vishkar. You shall not fail in the name of Symmetra."
She gripped her hands together tightly at the words. Through her visor, she knew that she showcased a look of determination in her eyes.
"I will not fail in the company that only wishes to make the world a better place.", she replied, a new tone clipping in her smooth voice.
Sanjay was pleased as he nodded at her.
"Make your preparations, Satya." He dismissed her and the others, much to Satya's relief, but she had overheard the words that he muttered behind her.
"We are counting on you..."

My acquaintance at school judges Satya of her ignorance of Vishkar's darker side. But don't worry, I defend Symmetra xD! Anyway, hope y'all enjoyed! Be sure to vote, comment, and follow me! Bye <3
