Well, this is my first story. I decided to do it on Overwatch because I am currently addicted to the game. Keep in mind, this story takes place at the current time of the Overwatch game. This is called "Before the Game", however, this is the reassembly of the team, with an OC (Which i own). I tried to include as many characters as possible. This story will switch from 1st to 3rd person alot, and also, this story will not always follow the real storyline. Hope you enjoy!

Vortex knocked on the door to Winston's office, careful not to be too loud. Once he had heard the approval to come into the office, he opened the door. Winston looked up and closed his laptop, giving a very firm look.
"Please, Christian, have a seat. We have much to talk about in so little time" Winston said in an approving voice. Vortex's face straightened as he did what he was told.
"I thought i told you to not call me Christian, no? Everyone else calls me by "Vortex", which is what i prefer to be called." Vortex told Winston in a firm voice. He straightened his glasses and a smile broke out upon his face.
"I like Christian. It's a very good name. Would you prefer to be called Chris instead?" He asked, not seeming to care. Vortex rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Enough with the nonsense, what is it that you want from me?" He asked with a demanding tone. Winston picked up some papers beside of him and looked over them.
"As you may know, we are trying to fight the Omnics, but to do that, we must build up our team. So to do that, I need you to go and find some people i would like apart of our team, which you have done a solid job of doing so far. Today, I request that you go and find another person, so our team can strengthen." Winston said. He put the papers down on the table. Vortex sighed again, knowing he'd have to go all the way across the Earth to another country just to find another person. It's all he had done since day one of being hired. He remembered that day and still tried to hide it away in his mind. How he hated that Winston came into his house 5 months ago and took him from his home during the night. He was up doing research on weapons, while in the middle of playing a match of "Halo". Vortex remembered being excited for the morning to he could go out to practice shooting his Remington Model 870 12-Gauge Shotgun. That was when it happened. He heard a small creak from the door to his room, and looked over to see what looked to be a giant ape staring at him. That was the last thing he remembered from that night, as he was knocked unconscious. He could only assume he was taken by the ape to some bunker, where he was awoken by a woman that looked kind of like an angel.
"Good morning", she said in a Swiss accent. Vortex sat himself up on the bed he assumed he was sleeping on. He then noticed how the room was made of metal.
"Are you God or the Devil? No, that doesn't matter, what matters to me is how the hell did i die?" Vortex asked with an angered tone. He then remembered the ape that broke in to his house. "It was that damn ape, wasn't it? I died by an ape, how stupid." The woman only smiled and broke into a small laugh.
"I'm not sure if this is good or bad news to you, but you aren't dead. You are in the Gibraltar Watchpoint. Everything will become apparent at another time, but for now, we must hurry. Please come with me." The angel requested. Vortex stretched, then hopped out of bed. As they walked, Vortex began to ask a few questions.
"If you don't mind me asking, who are you?" He questioned. The angel broke another smile
"I am Angela Ziegler, but please, call me Mercy. I am here to support those that i can, and am always here to help." Mercy said in a seemingly proud voice.
"That's nice." Vortex said before adding, "Why am I here?"
"Once again, all will be explained at a later time." Mercy led Vortex outside to what seemed to be a shooting range. Vortex, now fully awake, widened his eyes. Mercy handed Vortex an M16 rifle.
"The hell do you want me to do with this? I've never shot one of these before." Vortex said as he inspected the weapon. Mercy pointed to a distant target.
"I want you to shoot that target. You have one clip in that weapon, see how many times you can hit the target. The clip contains 20 bullets. This is a semi-automatic gun, so be careful." Mercy said. Vortex aimed the weapon and fired, one bullet after another, until the whole clip was gone. When it was, he ran over to retrieve the target before Mercy could even begin to walk. Vortex inspected, and widened his eyes. He'd ripped a massive hole right in the bullseye. He must have hit it at least 5 times. Mercy finally arrived and immediately grabbed the target and called the ape over, who then appeared from seemingly nowhere and arrived shortly after the call. The ape was wearing a suit of armor, and adjusted his glasses and widened his eyes soon after seeing what Vortex had done.
"My, oh my, look at the accuracy. Kid, how would you like to help my team? We are looking for people to help battle the Omnics, which you may have heard about. We are also battling a terrorist group called Talon, and we need every man we can get. What do you say?" The ape said. Vortex, seemingly having nothing else to lose considering he probably wouldn't be getting home anytime soon, agreed. Soon after, he began finding more people for the ape, who's name was eventually revealed as Winston. And now Vortex was here.
"Who do you want me to find?" Vortex asked, firming his tone a bit more. Winston slid the papers over to him, and Vortex picked them up.
"Her name is Hana Song, and her current location is Busan, South Korea. She is highly popular among many people, and is also apart of the Korean Exo-Force. And even better to us, she has a MEKA license. If we can get her on our team, she could be a great advantage to us." Winston said, satisfied. "Will you do it?"
"Sure, anything for the team." Vortex said. Soon after, Vortex packed his bags with weapons, ammo, and an armored suit for when he began his mission when he arrived in South Korea. Vortex was then sent on a military-like helicopter, and was dropped off at the mission point, at some base in Busan. Mercy was the one who gave him extra supplies.
"Good luck!" Mercy shouted, trying to keep her voice clear over the loud propellers. "Oh, and call us if you need anything!" Mercy tossed him a cellphone and then sat down in her seat as the helicopter took off. Vortex pulled out a map and Hana's profile and began walking.
"Well, here we go. Another boring mission." Vortex said as he sighed.
That's all for this chapter. Hope you enjoyed it, and the next chapter will come out soon.
