Chapter 6

Sorry for the somewhat late chapter, I've been pretty busy as of late. But this chapter really picks up the pace and i hope you enjoy. Once again reviews are encouraged to help make the story better

It has been a few weeks since the Overwatch agent, Tracer has moved in with you. All has been peaceful for the most part in (city). The authorities have basically given up looking for the culprits for the destruction of a few buildings. They have to worry about the crimes in the present and cannot dwell on the past. Your building has been repaired quickly due to the fact that you have the best omnics working on it. Your leg has mostly healed with the medications from the doctor.

You and Lena are pretty much in an unspoken relationship. Neither of you would dare ask the other if it was true. You and her had no desire to see other people. You have taken her out in public more and more as the government cared less and less. Whether it be a nice dinner or just to go shopping, Lena was your shadow and you wouldn't have it any other way.

You dealt with all of the bubbly brunettes antics all day long. From taking random pictures with her to her starting playful fights with you to her child like curiosity. Lena had certainly kept you busy these past few weeks

The touchy and flirtatious Brit had only grown closer to you. She snuggled with you every night, often hugs for no particular reason, and it was not uncommon for you two to have sex. Sometimes she'd tackle you out of no where and give you a kiss or your 'fights' becoming more intimate, just to name a few examples.

These times with her have been some of if not the best days of your life. Everything was fine and dandy until today when they revoked the lock down on the city, allowing Lena to return to her normal life. This was the day you feared for a long time, but quickly diverted your thoughts to not think about it. It was midday when they announced the end of the lockdown and it was all over the local news on TV and notifications on your phone. You figured you'd talk to Lena about it. She was sitting at the kitchen table, one hand holding her head and the other playing with her tea bag in her cup. She had an upset expression on her face as she sat. You walked up to her and set your phone in front of her, startling her from thought. The phone had the news article on it.

"The lockdown is over. You can go home now!" You tell her with an excited expression, masking your true feelings. She looked over the phone briefly and looked up at you.

"Oh...yeah I-I heard. It's great yeah" She was definitely upset about something. She tried to have an upbeat attitude, but failed terribly.

"Is something wrong?"

"Well...kinda...can we talk." You nodded and She stood up and grabbed your hands and lead you to the couch where you two sat close to one another. She opened her mouth a little but couldn't find the words.

"Shouldn't you be happy that you can return to Overwatch?" You broke the silence as you could tell she was struggling

"Yeah I am...it's just..." She looked to her lap, closed her eyes tight, took a deep breath, and looked back at you

"Come with me" She said with a pleading expression. You stare at her for a few seconds, trying to comprehend what she just said.

"What?"

"Come with me to Gibraltar. When we don't have missions we could stay at my place in London. You could become an Overwatch agent!" She said the last part with a hopeful smile. Once more, you try to take in what she says and hesitate a few moments before speaking.

"I'm not like you. I can't do what you or any of the other agents can"

"That's why we'll practice. You and I together. The world needs more heroes, luv. You would've died if not for an Overwatch agent. Dontcha wanna return the favor?"

You sigh "I appreciate what you did for me. But any movement made by Overwatch is considered an act of terrorism. Think of why we're together right now...Because you can't be seen in duty as an agent" You tell her firmer than you meant it to be. Lena looked away and bit her lower lip. You had a point, but that wasn't going to stop the determined woman before you.

"We'll get past that...I know we will. People need us now more than ever" Lena hadn't realized that she had been gripping your hands tightly throughout the conversation.

You sigh and briefly look to the ceiling. "I don't know Lena... I have a good thing here. "

It was true, you did. You worked hard to get to where you are. It payed off too as evident by your nice house and nice possessions. Leaving now meant that you'd have to quit your job, and all those years of hard work would be down the drain. You looked into Lena's big brown eyes and saw her sorrowful look on her face.

"Well we could have something better!" She shouted at you. Her words stunned you. They had so much meaning behind them. That was the last thing you had expected her to say. She took your silence as a queue to go on.

"We could go on missions together. You could help us take down Talon. You'll be a hero to everyone...to me."

The normal bright and cheery Brit was more serious now than you've ever seen her. You pull your hand away from hers and rub your eyes with two fingers. This important question came out of no where. You quickly think about the pros and cons about leaving your life and becoming someone new.

"Lena I-"

"Please..."

Lena cut you off from your indecisive statement. This was not like her normal upbeat drawn out 'pleeeeeaaaasse' where she would playfully ask for something, no. No this was a sincere plea. The time traveler truly wanted you to go live with her and become an agent. That's a big responsibility and an even bigger commitment.

"I can't believe I'm saying this...but ok"

Lena's somber expression gradually turned into a smile, and her smile grew and grew and grew as she processed your words.

"Really!?"

You sigh and nod at her. She let's out a loud cheer and tackles you onto the couch with her legs around your waist

"Thank you thank you thank you!" She said in quick succession. She gave you what seemed like a hundred small kisses on your cheek in a similar fashion as her words.

"I'll call Winston right away!" She exclaims as she immediately pulls out her phone and presses it up against her ear and walks out of the room. You on the other hand are taking in what you just agreed to. Your conscience is teetering back and forth between excitement and regret.

Cons: Years of work in a specific field, all for you to need years of combat training; you won't need this beautiful house anymore; how can you tell your coworkers that you are resigning for no reason?; your life is going to be on the line on a weekly basis; there's a chance Overwatch will not be revived

Pros: You get to live with the girl of your dreams; You get to save the world with the girl of your dreams; You'll be a well trained soldier(With the help of the girl of your dreams).

You sigh with your head in your hands. After a while you begin to have confidence in your split second decision. As you remain there to think, Lena blinks in front of you and stares at you smiling. She held her phone to her chest with both hands.

"Winston said he could send a drone that will be here in about 5 hours right here" She held out her phone to show you a nearby location on a map. You recognized the place. It was on the outskirts of the city in a large open field, probably about 15 minutes away with no traffic.

You nod at her. "What do I do with all my stuff. My house, my car, my clothes?"

She bit her lip. "Well...you can keep the car at my place. Some agents will come get all your belongings later. As for the house...it has to go"

You sigh and rub the bridge of your nose and she quickly reassures you, holding out her hands, almost in a defensive position.

"Don't worry luv, we have some people that can sell this place in a jiffy" She giggled with excitement and saw that you were rubbing your head, clearly not as anxious about this whole fiasco as she was. She sat down next to you and put an arm around you. Her look of anticipation faded to that of worry

"What's wrong, luv? Don't wanna be an Overwatch agent and live with me?"

You quickly reassure her and stand up, removing her arm from your shoulder "No it's gonna be great. Can't wait" You somehow manage to say that with a smile. She laughs with excitement again and kisses your cheek then blinks away to do god knows what. It wasn't as if that was a lie because becoming an agent will certainly be an adventure. There is just doubt that clouds your mind. Possibly fear, possibly anxiety.

You have some work to do for the next couple hours. The first thing you do is resign from your job. You'd figured that it would be more appropriate to speak to your superiors in person, so you drive to the building you work(ed) in and call a meeting. They were not so pleased to hear your news for them. When asked why, you try your best to be discreet and tell them that something better has come up. After getting them to understand, you bid your farewells and head home.

You were packing a small duffle bag with items you'd need overnight, just in case there was a delay on the delivery of your belongings. While you were doing that, Lena was blinking all around you, speaking at light speed with comments such as "This is gonna be so much fun" and "You're gonna love Gibraltar". For the most part you were silent, being encompassed by your thoughts.

An hour before ETA of the pick up, you and her leave your house. Before leaving, you get one last look of your luxurious house and smile, for the house was a symbol of your success. You'd have to leave that all behind for a new life.

Once you get to the large open field surrounded by trees, you and her wait. You got to a nearby location via cab(or whatever the future equivalent is), then you walked about 10 minutes to the destination. You and her sat in the tall dry grass in mostly silence. She was sitting cross legged fiddling with pieces of grass. She noticed you beside her motionless, dazed in thought. She scooted closer to you and hugged you, bringing you out of your train of thought

"You made the right decision luv" She said with her head buried against your chest. Her breath tickled your neck as she tilted her head up a little. Her words struck you and most doubt exited your mind and you hugged her back.

You held Lena until you hear a gentle whirring noise that makes both of you to look up to see your unmanned aircraft gently descending into the field. The drone was a VTOL like ship with two massive jets on each wing angled upwards. The door opens automatically and the two of you walk in.

It is a fairly big aircraft with luxurious white seating all about. There were windows scattered throughout it. This was clearly not a vehicle for military use. Upfront was a control panel and two seats that allowed the aircraft to be taken out of autopilot and be driven manually. Lena looked around with a look of astonishment and you mimic her as you get in. Once the aircraft got high enough, the jets on either side turned horizontally, and a flight at high velocity took place

Once you take a seat, the door closes and begins ascending. You notice a miniature fridge stocked with beverages and you grab a water for the each of you. The ride was very smooth and the two of you remained silent mostly, sitting across from each other.

Lena abruptly stood up with a smirk and walked to the front. She took hold of the steering wheel and turned off auto pilot. The ride immediately became a little rougher which made you look up in confusion

"This is your captain speaking. Our estimated time of arrival is 4 hours and 25 minutes. Thank you for choosing Tracer airlines"

You look up to the front wide eyed as you see her driving. There's not a chance she's not going to do something wild. You run up to the Co pilots seat and strap in, preparing for the worst

"What are you doing?" You ask her slightly panicked

She giggles"I'm gonna show you why I was the best pilot out there"

She immediately nose dives the plan, causing you to scream and her to laugh as you plummet to Earth at high speed. As you got close to the ground, she pulled up. She went up and up and up, then backwards. She laughed more while you panicked more as she continued her backflip. As she straightens it out, she looks at you with a smile while your are breathing hard

"I have this under control" She tries to reassure you

As you place your hand on your face, she spins the entire jet to do a barrel roll making you jump. Her erratic driving continued for about 20 more minutes until she put it back in autopilot and returned to her seat. She laughed the entire time, and as much as you'd hate to admit it, she was a damn good pilot.

You sit down with a sigh of relief and she gives you a smile as if she didn't just threaten your life. She gets out of her seat and sits on your lap, placing her head on the base of your neck. The spikes of her hair tickling your chin. She gently plays with your hands. She let's out a soft adorable yawn, then interlocks her hands with yours. Her yawn reminded you how tired you are and the two of you fall asleep with eachother.

You wake up at the same time she does when she stirred in your lap. There was not much time left in your journey. Both of you had the consensus to not move at all, and you remained snuggling with one another. Both of you were sitting in comfort when you heard the 10 minute remaining notification. She lifted her head off your chest and looked up at you.

"Oi, by the way, I forgot to tell Winston you were coming with me" she let out a nervous laugh as you looked at her wide eyed.

"You what?!"

"I guess it just never crossed my mind" she laughed again and you remained silent. "Aww don't worry. Everyone's gonna love you. I promise"

The aircraft approached the impressive orange and white base and landed on a helicopter pad by the edge of the water. Lena got excited when she saw her old base and pressed her face against a window. There were few soldiers patrolling the base, not even batting an eye at the descending VTOL. Next to the landing pad was a large gorilla in white armor, adjusting his glasses. When the aircraft landed, the door opened and Lena ran out and jumped onto the gorilla

"Winston!" She had shouted as she hugged him

Winston laughed "Good to see you again Lena" He looked up at you standing in the doorway of the VTOL awkwardly. His smile faded as he sort of pushed Lena off of him "And who might you be"

Before you could open your mouth, Lena chimed in "Oi Winston, this is (Your name). He's gonna be an Overwatch agent!"

"Aahh...so this is the (your name) I've heard so much about" you smile and look at Lena who blushes and looks away "Lena, may I have a word with you" Winston says leading her a few feet away. You can't make out what they are saying, so you just stand there awkwardly.

"Lena, you can't just bring people here without my permission." Winston says in an aggressive tone

"Winston, luv, we need more agents. Overwatch can't be revived with the small number of soldiers we have"

"Does he have any experience at all?" Winston replied in an almost sarcastic tone

Lena looked away "Well...no not really"

Winston sighed and rubbed his forehead "What made you think you could bring him here"

"He has what it takes, luv, I know it. He saved my life after all."

Winston sighed again and she continued "I'll train him. I'm sure Mccree and Genji can help him too. He'll be in tip top shape in no time. I promise"

The scientist looked down at the Brit who clasped her hands up to her face. Her lower lip was protruding and her eyebrows were raised, giving off the impression that she was begging the gorilla.

"Fine. He's your responsibility. Do you understand Lena?"

Lena jumped onto Winston with a big smile "I understand. Thanks big guy!"

Lena blinked over to you with a big smile "Welcome to Overwatch!"

Winston rolled his eyes walked towards you. "I am Winston. Lena will be your tour guide and personal trainer. If you have any questions, ask her. I look forward to seeing you in action in the future.". You thank him for letting you join and he nods and walks away.

"So luv, where should we start?" You shrug and she grabs your hand, pulling you quickly, clearly eager about this tour.

You walk down a serious of large walkways. All around were different futuristic looking buildings colored in either white, blue, orange, or a mix. The Overwatch logo was everywhere. The setting sun made the surrounding body of water look stunning, and it was hard to divert your eyes from it. As you walked, Lena pointed out different buildings and told you where they were.

Lena leads you to a door and she pulls out a card and swipes it on a mechanism next to it. You enter and find a wide open area with small robots floating all about. It was outdoors for the most part, aside from little rooms all about. There were pathways all around, leading to an upper or lower part. (Think about the training room if it was placed in Gibraltar)

"Welcome Tracer and friend" A mechanical, feminine voice echoed around the facility. You look around in confusion and Lena giggles

"That's Athena. Winston made her. I'm gonna have to get him to program you into her database"

You nod and look around in awe. There were gun racks and computers scattered all about as well as various screens for testing and a large amount of equipment that you didn't quite realize what they did.

"This is the training room. We'll be spending a lot of time in here. No one's here because it's getting late. But someone should be here..." She said looking around. You hear a faint whirring sound, almost like a whistle. You also hear some bots letting out a death cry and being destroyed. Lena lead you in the direction where the noise came from. It was an open area with a large number of bots patrolling. She smiled as she watched the figure take them down with ease.

There was a robot looking figure with steel plating and green accents. The figure was jumping and flipping around the bots hitting them with shuriken. As they tried to shoot him, he pulled out a small blade that ricocheted the bullets right back to the bots. The robot took them out with remarkable speed, dashing around the open area with bright green trails being left behind him.

As the bots gathered together and cornered him, he ran up the wall and jumped over top of them. As he was in the air, he shouted "Ryujin no ken wo kurae!". He pulled his katana from its scabbard and a bright green dragon emerged from its blade, encompassing the warrior. You watched in awe as the ninja like figure slashed the bots, cutting them with ease. He sheathed his sword, and the dragon disappeared. The bots (or what was left of them) laying around him put themselves back together as if nothing happened and floated away.

"Well done Genj" Lena said clapping as she approached him. The warrior who's back was facing you had his head down lifted, he lifted it up and turned and chuckled.

"Thank you Ms. Oxton" He said in a metallic yet smooth Japanese accented voiced, breathing heavily.

"Genji this is (your name). (Your name) this is Genji"

Genji pressed his hands together, leaving his pointer and middle finger raised and bowed his head. "It is an honor to meet the man who saved young Ms. Oxton's life"

"Genj, would you mind showing (your name) here a few things sometime" Lena chimed in

"Not at all. I would be delighted"

Lena giggled "Thanks luv. We'll let you get back to it"

Genji nodded and 3 shurikens emerged from his hand. He turned and you two walked out of the training room

"He's a cyborg in case you were wondering. Not an omnic" Lena tells you and you become less confused

You continue your tour and she lead you to a mostly white building with various rooms all containing medical equipment as well as omnics on standby. Since Overwatch was a shadow of its former self, there weren't many people about the watchpoint

"As you can probably tell, this is the medical sector of Gibraltar" She says walking backwards while looking at you

She leads you an office overlooking the rest of the watchpoint. In it was a woman with blonde hair in a labcoat, writing something down at the desk. She looked up when Lena knocked on the open door as she entered.

"Lena what a wonderful surprise!" She said in a thick Swiss accent. She stood up and Lena hugged her. She held Lena's head in a motherly like fashion. The woman was very beautiful.

"Hiya Ange. I brought someone to see you"

Lena broke the hug and the blonde shook your hand. "I am Angela Ziegler. You may call me Angela or Mercy, whichever you feel comfortable with" She said with a warm smile. You introduce yourself

"(Your name), Angela is the best doctor around. She can fix up anyone"Lena said and Angela blushed "and Ange, (your name) is gonna be an Overwatch agent, so ya might be getting to know him well, depending on how good he is" She said with a sly smirk looking at you

"Oh great! We could always use more agents" Angela replied clapping her hands together lightly

You bid your farewells and exited the medical facility of Gibraltar. Lena lead you about the watchpoint, explaining certain areas again like before

"Most of the agents will probably be here since it's getting dark. This is my personal favorite, the pub!" Lena said as she opened the door to the bar.

It was dimly lit, but fairly large. There was music playing in the background. Tables were spread all about and there was an omnic cleaning them. There were some infantry eating and drinking at the tables, but the most noise was coming from the actual bar. At it, there was a group of people laughing hard periodically as someone told a joke.

You noticed at the bar, a man in a red poncho and a cowboy hat with long brown hair wiping a tear away as he laughed. Next to him was a very large and muscular man with long grey hair and a beard, smashing the bar with his fist as he laughed. Next to him was a short man with a long beard and a claw like metallic arm. Then was a muscular woman with short pink hair talking as she smacked the small man on the arm. Lastly was a darker skinned man with green clothing and tinted glasses with his dreadlocks tied up. All eyes seemed to be diverted to him as he was making everyone laugh. Lena lead you over to the bar and introduced you to everyone.

"Everyone, this is (your name). This is Mccree"

"Howdy" the man said in a southern voice as he tipped his hat

"Reinhardt"

"Greetings" the large man said with a very thick German accent along with a cheerful smile

"Torbjorn"

"Hello" The small man spoke in a Swedish accent as he tipped his hook hand

"Zarya"

"Greetings comrade" she said firmly in a Russian accent

"And Lucio"

"Hellooo" He said waving

"What brings you here, partner?" Mccree asked kicking his legs up onto the bar and lighting a cigar

"He's gonna be an agent!" Lena exclaimed. There were comments amongst them. You couldn't tell if they were happy about that or not, them with their heavy accents and all. Mccree took Lena's words in and eyed you down head to toe, taking a puff at his cigar and nodded slightly.

"Welp I just came to introduce you all. Enjoy the drinks!" Lena said as she began to turn away

"Lena, certainly you two can stay for a drink, no?" Said Reinhardt, grabbing onto her shoulder

"Aww sorry luv. I wish I could, but it's been a long day"

There were various complaints from the agents and Lena giggled as she leads you out the door. You two continued walking and she was telling you about the agents' backstories. Eventually you got to a multiple story building. You enter through a white sliding door with the Overwatch logo on it. Lena greets a man behind a counter and takes you to the elevator. You go up a couple floors and arrive at a wide corridor with a good number of doors spread about it.

"So this is where the agents stay" she was telling you as she leads you to one of the doors and scratched her neck. "I don't exactly have a key for your room, so I guess you're staying with me" she giggled as she swiped her card and entered the room

The room was somewhat like a hotel room, but much bigger. It was more so like an apartment. There was a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room, all moderately sized and very appealing.

"I got the best room in the watchpoint! Just look at that view" Lena says gesturing to the large window in the living room as she drew back the curtains. It overlooked the vast ocean that now reflected the moon and the stars. You admire it for a little before Lena tackles you onto the bed and gives you a kiss. She pulls away and just lies on top of you.

"Sooo...how do ya like Overwatch?"

"Oh it's great. Very...interesting" you tell her. Not knowing how exactly to respond to her question.

She giggles and adjusts her position as you wrap your arms around her. She looks up at you with her bright brown eyes that you never get tired of gazing into. "Ya better get some rest. You gotta big day tomorrow, luv"
