I'm back after so long! I've been really into Overwatch recently so I wanted to post something about my favorite ship along with hints of other adorable ships I've come across. Enjoy!

Everything's Coming Up Explodey
It was a normal day at their home base. Everyone was bustling around rebuilding their beloved Overwatch. Although there were still some doubts about its revival, it was, for now, the best option they had to defend themselves and the world.
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!"
Immediately, Roadhog turned his attention to the younger Junker who was blowing away some debris and scraps that was blocking a road that was used for transportation around the base. That little brat loved to blow things up, however, he didn't seem happy to blow up some scraps and rocks for the sake of good.
Soldier 76 and Winston were working on getting their supply carts running like before and Zarya was carrying around metal beams for construction.
Roadhog sighed and stood back up and stretched from sitting too long. He went to go help the group and rebuild their precious Overwatch.
He and Junkrat were recruited by 76 and Tracer when they were caught by a group of cops in England. Tracer had announced that they had it under control and the cops, reluctantly mind you, left. It was Soldier who had declared the duo "reckless" and "unleashed" and with "proper training" they could use their skills and abilities for good. Roadhog knew it was so they wouldn't go against them and become a possible ally of Talon but what Soldier didn't know was that Talon was trying to kill them too. They were after whatever Junkrat had found one day in the outbacks of Australia. Junkrat, was curious though, at why on earth they were looking to recruit them seeing as how they were wanted in so many countries. He declined at first until Roadhog gave him the idea of more protection and adventure that came with being involved in Overwatch.
"Why would I need 'em if I got you?" Was Junkrat's initial response, which did spark something in Roadhog. Perhaps it was loyalty, perhaps it was relief, or simply pure adoration for…
Roadhog shook his head dragging himself out of memories and focused on the construction of the new medical bay.
Before he was able to get any work done, Mercy came out to everyone with fresh lemonade and the brightest smile she has ever had since arriving at Overwatch. Everyone stopped and went to grab some fresh lemonade and take a little break after working in the hot sun.
"What's with the smile? I thought you hated Overwatch" Soldier pointed out to Mercy which brought a frown to her face.
"It's true I'm still worried about Overwatch's revival, that's not what I'm happy about. Do you know what's coming up in a few days?"
Soldier looked at her blankly and shook his head.
She rolled her eyes and sighed, "Jack, it's Valentine's day. You know, the most romantic holiday of the year!"
"…oh…it's that time of year huh?" Soldier casually sipped his drink.
"You're impossible!" She placed down the drinks on a nearby box and stomped away angrily.
"Hey 76, you know better than to treat Mercy like that" Genji remarked and went after her.
"Why should I be excited about another silly holiday? We already went overboard on Halloween, Christmas and then the Chinese New Year. There's nothing to celebrate for Valentine's day. We're supposed to be focusing on Talon and all we're doing is goofing off"
"Still, Mercy was probably looking forward to it. We all know you and Mercy-"
"It's nothing. We have nothing. If anything, she's a distraction to the cause"
Everyone took a step back from Soldier at his harsh words at Mercy. Even Roadhog found himself backing away. He was so cold to the kindest and sweetest doctor they had.
Soldier noticed everyone's movements and cleared his throat, "Let's call it a day. I'm sure we're all tired from working ten days in a row…if you want, we can continue working after Valentine's day"
It was Tracer who brightened back up and cheered. She was looking forward to spending time with her girlfriend Emily, who was probably coming over for the holiday.
McCree went quickly to Hanzo and was going to pounce him in a huge bear hug but fell flat on his face. Hanzo had gracefully dodged his attacker's assassination attempt and he walked away to meditate.
Hana and Lucio walked away to talk and Roadhog could have sworn that they were holding hands…
"Oi Roadie?"
He looked down at the little Junker who just started back with a face full of confusion.
"What?"
"What's Val-un-tine's Day?" He had said slowly as to not mispronounce it but still failed slightly.
"…Valentine's Day is a holiday for couples" Roadhog explained.
"…ya mean like us? We're a couple of Junkers. So, then it's a holiday for couples to do whatever they want?" The young brat looked up at him with joy in his eyes.
"Not that kind of couple. I mean for lovers. It's for two people who love each other to celebrate being in love…I guess"
"…oh" Junkrat's face fell and he looked disappointed, "…'ave ya ever celebrated it before?"
"…not really…" Roadhog lied.
It was true he had a relationship in the past, but he gave up that life to join his rebel group in Australia.
Some good that did…
He looked down at the little Junker who had lived his entire life in a "survival of the fittest" Australia. He was responsible for Jamison's being and insanity.
"…Hog?"
"What?"
"…since ya never celebrated it before, why not celebrate it with me? We can go wild on some empty buildings nearby or just raid a candy shop" He flashed a toothy grin.
Without thinking, Roadhog nodded.
