Please watch the video first!!! It's important to the story!!!

Soundwave had seen the whole thing through the eyes of Laserbeak with their bond. McCree was one hell of a catch for Commander Reyes. To say they complimented each other was an understatement. It was like they were father and son with the way they got along.

Soundwave knew it was a match. Watching the both of them for a while was an advantage. He wish he could physically be there to help, but this would do. It was very comical how McCree rubbed the bet between both commanders in Morrison's face.

Laserbeak wanted to make contact with McCree. She thought it would be nice to have communication with someone on the outside of the Shadowzone. Soundwave saw that she longed for some other contact other than him. So he agreed, but when Reyes was present.

Right now, Soundwave was studying the current head of the Shimada clan, Hanzo, and his younger brother, Genji. It was very in tense between the two. While the elders were pressuring Hanzo to deal with his brother, Genji wanted nothing to do with the clan.

Soundwave was concerned for the safety of Genji and the influence the elders had on Hanzo. Much of it was due to how his twin cassettes were offlined. Fellow Decepticons had hacked Rumble to attack his twin, Frenzy for fun. In short, both of their lives ended that very day.

Soundwave thought it was best to contact Genji, but he knew he would be ignored. So he decided that Laserbeak should contact him. Not only will she get someone to talk to, but she could make a friend who was similar to her siblings. Soundwave watched as she started.

[Hi there! You must be Genji, I'm Beak. How are you?] Laserbeak texted.

"What the- ... I don't know anyone by this number or name," Genji said.

[I'm sorry, but do I know you? Did we meet at a club or something?] Genji replied.

[No, we never met. But I wanted to have a friend, so I chose a number and it happened to be yours.]

[Is Beak really your name? Are you a girl?] Genji asked.

[Beak is my nickname. And yes, I'm a girl. It's a pleasure to talk to you.]

[Oh, cool! My nickname is Sparrow. So, why did you want a random friend? There's usually a reason someone would look for a complete stranger to talk to. What's wrong?]

[I'm all alone with my father. I have no one to talk to because I'm mute. I just really want to talk to someone else. I've lost too much in my life as it is. I wanted to connect to someone outside of my fathers reach. To someone who can't judge me.]

Soundwave was surprised by this. This wasn't an act, it was her honest feelings. Laserbeak actually wanted to tell Genji her story to not only let him trust her, but have a real connection with the young Shimada. To let go of all she held, even from her sire.

[Hey, that's cool. I'm not going to judge you. You can tell me anything. It seems like there's a lot you need to talk about.]

[I have lost three of my siblings, including twin brothers to a war my father was in. My father and I lost our voices to that very war. We are now forced into hiding and it feels like prison. If we make contact with the outside world, we'll be in danger.]

[Man, sounds rough. But why get involved in a war your father was in? I mean, it's not really a place for you to get involved. Why fight a battle that's not yours?]

[Because, Genji, this was my father. He loved and cared for us without condition. We didn't want to lose him. He tried to hide us away, but we ended up joining the war.]

[Out of your twin brothers, did he favor one over the other?]

[He did at times. He had favored the youngest of the two.]

[And the eldest?]

[Trained him relentlessly.] Soundwave could feel sadness coming from his bond.

[Why would be do that? Training him so hard. Did your father not know the pain he put your brother through!?]

[At the time it was a good idea. My brother Rumble was the strongest out of all of us, so he accepted the task as long as he could protect us when our father wasn't around.]

[What about the younger one? How was he treated?]

[Frenzy was treated almost the same as Rumble, but he was taken off training after a while. If we didn't, there would be irreversible consequences.]

[Consequences? Like what?] Genji asked, ignoring the strange names.

[My father was a perfectionist. He always looked for perfection, especially in us. Frenzy couldn't do what Rumble could, even though they were identical. The more Frenzy couldn't do what Rumble could, the more he would be angry with himself. That was bad.]

[How so? It kind of sounds like me and my brother's situation a bit.]

[It was bad for Frenzy to hate himself. When we were fighting in the war, we saw the most frightening thing ever. We saw Frenzy slaughter our enemies with ease.]

[How is that bad!?]

[Frenzy is the third strongest out of my siblings, with me in last. So for him to kill more people than Rumble was bad. We had restrain him, because he was lost in a fight that was clearly over. We stopped his training to prevent his berserker rage from growing.]

Genji paused at that. Berserker rage? He has never heard of that before, but from what Beak said, it sounded pretty bad to him. So it was reasonable why they stopped his training.

[Rumble and Frenzy, what happened to them?]

[Elder officers in the war had brainwashed Rumble into fighting Frenzy ...]

[So Rumble killed his twin? Why didn't anyone stop them!? Why didn't you or your family stop them!? Didn't Frenzy fight back!?]

Laserbeak had overwhelming sadness, regret, and smoldering anger. Soundwave had felt this before, but not as intense. He regrets his position as third in command. Soundwave was so immersed in his dream for peace, he had negotiated his creations during the war.

[No, he didn't. Frenzy knew it wasn't Rumble's fault. So Frenzy took the attacks, until he snapped out of it. The rest of our family was on a mission. We came back in time to take Frenzy to the hospital, but he didn't make it. Rumble killed himself at the news.]

[Oh man, I'm so sorry that happened to you.]

[Thanks, I'm glad I could tell someone. Oh how I hated our elder officers. They were trying to see Frenzy's berserker rage against Rumble to see who was really stronger. Frenzy tried his best to keep up though, to take the pressure off Rumble.]

[They expected a lot from him?]

[Being the strongest and eldest of the twins made it that way. We all tried our best to help take pressure off him, especially Frenzy with his newly found power. They were a powerful duo in the war, but that was the end of their lives.]

[Man, you got me thinking of my situation. I mean, I'm not mute or in a war, but I've been running from my elders who are pressuring Hanzo, my brother.]

[I'll give you some advice, try your best to work with your brother. If there's anything I've learned in life, it's that your brother is under a lot of stress and needs help. Remember all the good times you had with your brother, and just help him. You don't have to like it, but the elders of your family might make him do something he'll regret.]

[Like what?]

[If your elders are anything like mine were, you really need to help your brother.]

Genji was scared. Beak's past has some connections to his life. He actually feared that his brother and himself would end up like her brothers. Genji knew the elders had already more power over Hanzo, but hopefully it wasn't too late for that.

[Thanks, Beak. You gave great advice. Lol, and here I was to just listen to your problems.]

[You're welcome, Sparrow. ... I can call you that right?]

[You can call me that if you tell me your name.]

[Alright, but don't laugh. It's only native to my island.]

[Alright, I promise not to laugh.]

[It's Laserbeak.]

Genji didn't laugh. He looked very intrigued. [What's your father's name? Were those really the names of your brothers?]

[Those were my brother's real names. My father's name is Soundwave. Is it that weird?]

[No, but it's a bit unusual.]

A knock Can from the door, catching Soundwave's and Genji's attention.

"Genji, can I have a moment with you?"

"Give me a second."

[I have to go. I'll text you later Beak.]

[Kk, text you later.]

Laserbeak went back to monitoring Commander Reyes and McCree. Soundwave and Genji turned their attention to the door.

"Alright Hanzo, you may enter," Genji called.

Hanzo entered the room and looked at his younger brother.

"Genji, you must partake in our family's work. The elders are getting very angry with you and your wasted skills as a swordsman. I don't want to-"

"Alright, brother," Genji sighs. "I will partake in our family endeavors, but only for now."

"What!?" Hanzo asked in surprise. "This isn't a trick is it you know very well that the-"

"I'm not fooling around, Hanzo! Nor would I fool you. I don't give a damn about the elders or what they have to say about me! I Only Care About You!"

Silence sat in the room with Genji's outburst. With Laserbeak's past and words still fresh in his mind, Genji looked angry, upset, and fearfully into Hanzo's eyes. Hanzo had never seen Genji like this. Not since they were both kids, but the seriousness was new.

"Genji ... I-"

"Listen Hanzo," Genji interrupted again. "The only reason I wasn't there for you was, because I wasn't skilled enough. I always wanted to be there for you, like you were for me, but I wasn't strong enough." Hanzo was shocked. He had envied his brother for being spoiled. He never knew how much Genji actually cared for him.

"You were always better than me, and I couldn't reach your skills to help you," Genji confessed. "That's why I haven't been around to help you. That's why I've been running from the family business. I can't bring honor to the family with my skills."

"Genji ... I care about you too. It's just father had left everything to me. The elders have been a pain in my ass ever since. I just can't handle everything on my own."

"Hanzo, I'll try to help, but there is only so much I can do. I'm not good at diplomacy!"

"I'll deal with it. I'll only send you on ones you can handle. Just do your best."

"I got it. Thanks, Anija," Genji said softly. "For always being there for me, hear me out, and giving me a chance."

"And thank you Genji," Hanzo replied in a similar manner. "For always looking out for me and trying your hardest. Goodnight, Sparrow."

Hanzo made his way out, while Soundwave followed. Hanzo was almost out the door when Genji spoke softly that he almost missed it.

"I love you, Anija."

Hanzo paused at the door as warmth filled him. Just like the time they were children.

"I love you too, my little Sparrow."

Then Hanzo left to a meeting with the elders.

Genji was eccentric, like he was floating. He had longed to hear those words from his brother, that he actually thought he was hearing things. Hanzo had been so closed off and cold to him, Genji started to lose hope of ever hearing those words. But now he had hope. Genji would definitely try his best to help Hanzo as much as he could. Just to be close to him again.

Genji got on his phone one last time before sleeping to send one last message.

[Thanks Beak! You helped me reconnect with my brother! We should text later, I'll give you all the details. I'm heading to bed.]

[I'm glad to have made a difference in your life. You and your brother remind me of my twin brothers even though I know nothing about you. I would love to text you some more. Night, Sparrow!]

Genji fell asleep reading that text message. That night, he dreamed of his childhood memories with Hanzo as they played.

With Hanzo

Soundwave watched in concern. The elders were telling Hanzo that they would not Genji a second chance to prove himself. Hanzo wouldn't give up, for the sake of his brother. So, Soundwave made a decision. It was risky, but he did care for the brothers.

"I'm giving my brother a second chance, and that's final!" Hanzo yelled.

Before anyone could object, holo-screens formed in front of each elder and Hanzo.

[I would suggest you listen to the head of the clan. You are all merely advisors.]

"What is this!? Is this your doing!?" one elder questioned. But looking at Hanzo, they saw he was just as shocked as every other person in the room.

[Hanzo is the head of the clan, therefore you listen to him. Any insubordination his father saw, they were executed. I will not allow you to manipulate this young man.]

"Is that a threat!? When we find you we'll-"

[You cannot find me. No matter how hard you try. No matter who you have look for me, you cannot find me. I have eyes and ears everywhere. I have powerful people on my side. If you continue to use Hanzo, I will have my people shut the Shimada clan down.]

"Who are you? And what is your reason for doing such a thing?" Hanzo asked. He was genuinely thankful and curious of this person. Hanzo knew this person was no pushover.

[I go by Wave. My reason, to prevent your elders from making you do something you would regret. I had seen this happen before, I would like to prevent the same outcome.]

"And just who do you have to take down the Shimada clan?" Hanzo asked.

[Overwatch.]

"Them!? They have nothing to imprison most of the family. How would they take us down!?" Laughed another elder.

[I have proof of your assassinations, how you rob the people of Hanamura, and all the illegal dealings that you've done in the past.] Images and documents formed above the table of everything that they've done. [I have them saved and ready to send to Overwatch. They'll be knocking on your door to arrest every elder and assassin in the clan, except Genji and Hanzo.]

"And why not the brothers!?" a young elder yelled. "They're the heads of this clan!"

[They have nothing on their record. I found documents that prove their innocence. This is your only warning I'm giving you. This is not a joke.]

Soundwave waited for their reaction as the screens disappeared. He couldn't help, but feel sorry that the elders didn't take him seriously with the looks on some of their faces.

"We'll give Genji one more chance," one of the older men finally spoke.

"Are you insane!? We-"

"We're giving Genji another chance," another elder agreed. "End of discussion."

"You can't be serious!" one of the younger elders yelled. "This is unacceptable!!"

"You seen the information this Wave had," said the first elder. "Even if he doesn't have connection to Overwatch, they would still come if they get all of that information. They would take down the Shimada clan. Therefore, Genji will have his second chance."

"However," the second elder said. "If he doesn't perform well, we will deal with him if you do not end him. Is, that clear, Hanzo?"

"WHAT!?!?" Hanzo yelled.

"Is. That. Clear."

" ... crystal."

"Then leave us. We have much to discuss."

With that, Hanzo left with Soundwave following. Once Hanzo got to his room, he was breaking down. Soundwave knew Hanzo couldn't kill his brother, but he knew the elders would do much worse to Genji. Hanzo didn't know what to do. So Soundwave messaged him.

[Hanzo, this is Wave. I sent the information to Blackwatch. Hopefully they come soon. Don't give Genji something challenging. The elders will be watching.]

[Are you a close friend of my father's?]

[No, you could say I'm a friend of yours. I never met your father.]

[Then how do you have all that information.]

[I'm a hacker. Now sleep, and try to hold on until Blackwatch gets there.]

[Thank you for watching over my brother and I, Wave.]

[I'll do whatever it takes. You and your brother remind me of my twin sons. I just hope all goes well. Just remember you're not alone.]

[I understand. Goodnight, Wave.]

[Goodnight, Hanzo. Sleep well.]

Hanzo left his phone to prepare for bed. Once done, he laid down and fell asleep under Soundwave's watch.

~Goodnight, sweet spark. Sire loves you,~ Soundwave sent with a wave of love through his bond to his femme creation.

~Night, sire! Love you too!~ Laserbeak sent back with her own wave of love for her sire. 

Soundwave just hoped the commander came quickly. Hanzo did seem like he could last long with the pressure the elders had on him, and if Genji wasn't perfect, Hanzo had to kill him.

A/N: This took a lot of my Christmas Eve to write. I hope you enjoy!!!
