So what if I've never played Overwatch? That doesn't mean I can't connect with its characters and come up with an awesome idea surrounding those who became mercenaries. In case many of you weren't aware, I recently put up a story idea for an Overwatch X My Hero Academia crossover centering around the idea of Widowmaker, a former agent and a member of the Omni Force.
She's on All Might's squadron, so I thought of the interesting idea of how he and the others would react to her becoming an assassin for the organization known as Talon. With that, it could also tie into how she'd be able to make a quick buck by taking out her employer's enemies, including those in the future.
I know not too many people are keen of this idea considering that not a lot of people play the game, but I haven't played either. I'm doing this because I love the concepts created from Overwatch, I love the animated shorts they've featured for most of their characters, and I love the idea of a traitor to the Omni Force that doesn't seem out of nowhere.
As for the timing of this story, it's taking place at the point after the "Eri Rescue Arc" in the manga and is within Todoroki and Bakugo's provisional license training. Things are going to be a little different with all of the characters, such as how Raya and Rachael will be presented in the story, but most of it will be pretty straightforward for all of you.
Now that all of this is said and done, let's get into "Traitor"!
TRAITOR
Sirens blared loudly through the streets of Tokyo as fires raged on in the upper floors of apartment buildings. Bystanders down below watched on as policemen and firemen were quickly hurrying escorting people out of the burning edifice, with fire trucks extending their ladders so that the hoses could reach as high as the flames.
"Dammit…" one officer cursed out of frustration below as he saw that the fire was barely starting to get put out, "Where are the pros right now?!" he yelled in question to his comrades.
"They're still trying to track down the arsonists who got this place!" one shouted back as he was pinning a man against the hood of a police car, having his hands behind his back before cuffing them, "But we could really use someone to put those fires out if we wanna get to the people there…" he admitted, grimacing a little.
"Up there!" one woman exclaimed, catching their attentions as they gasped to see a young lady upon one of the upper floors just below the fire, holding a baby wrapped in a light green blanket in her arms as she looked to be the verge of tears.
"Crap!" an officer yelped in realization, "Get one of those ladders over to her now!" he demanded quickly.
"They won't make it!" another yelled in realization, cringing in fright. The girl herself tried to remain calm, shivering in fright as she glanced back through the glass door to see that the flames had reached her apartment, followed by an explosion that blew by her off the balcony. She screamed as she began plummeting to the earth below, holding the infant close to her as he was bawling loudly. All of a sudden though, a figure leapt in and caught her, landing safely upon the ground beside the police cars. The officers all beamed delightedly upon seeing the distinct muscular figure and bangs of the one who had saved her.
"Everything will be all right now, miss," he reassured as she opened her eyes and gasped, seeing that it was indeed All Might, "Because I am here," he stated with his trademark smile. The crowd beyond the building cheered excitedly at the sight of the number one hero, while the public safety workers sighed in relief at the rescue.
"Make that why we're here, All Might!" a voice cried out, catching the pro's attention as he looked to see other heroes such as Kamui Woods and Backdraft arriving on the scene.
"Are there any others up there?" the former of the two that had arrived asked immediately.
"Not sure just yet," the blonde haired man responded as he looked to see that the firemen were getting closer to putting out the flames, "Backdraft, help those men put out the fire," he advised to the fireman-like hero, who nodded as he went off to one of the fire trucks, "Kamui, you and I'll escort anyone out that's still in there," he said to the masked man beside him.
"Right!" he concurred with a thumbs up, extending his wooded right arm out to latch onto a balcony of the edifice, pulling himself up to reach the middle levels.
"Wait!" one officer shouted, causing the muscular man to halt himself from following his companion, "What about the arsonists?!" he asked loudly over the other sounds around the area.
"Not to worry," he responded as he looked up to see the Arbor Quirk user forming a makeshift slide with his right arm as people were gathered around him, waiting to get down, "He'll take care of the last few," he affirmed confidently.
"H-He?" the policeman stammered in question, wondering who exactly he was referring to. Elsewhere in the city, two men had been knocked out cold as smoke emitted from their bodies while lying against a wall in an alley. In front of them was Endeavor, who scoffed in disgust.
"These punks could've at least given me a fight…" he muttered, looking out at the street at the other end of the alley, "Now where's the last one?" he questioned as he narrowed his eyes. A man was frantically running amidst the crowds of people walking the sidewalks, even shoving some aside.
"Move! Move!" he shouted repeatedly as if he had a weapon in his hands. He did not realize that he was being observed from above by a certain woman with what appeared to be a sniper rifle. She had a long black ponytail and a recon visor that resembled a spider's eyes as it came over her face. Her skintight violet suit that exposed her cleavage was also equipped with black metal boots with spikes upon the sides of the soles, a holster around her right thigh, a grappling hook launcher upon her left arm, which had a pair of spikes upon it as well, and a pair of black gloves over her hands. Her skin was a cold blue with a tattoo upon her right arm, read as 'Cauchemar' as she took a ready position at the ledge of the building she was upon, looking through the scope of her armament to see the frantic man heading into an alley.
"There you are…" she uttered as she set her right index finger upon the trigger, pushing it back. The sound of a bang echoed, causing numerous amounts of people to halt upon hearing it.
"AGH!" a voice screamed in agony, catching the attentions of several people as they looked into the alley to see that the man who was running had been shot in the right leg, bleeding profusely as he attempted to crawl away.
"Stand aside! Now!" a familiar voice boomed, making the bystanders move for Endeavor as he walked into the alley to see what had happened.
"H-Help me…" he stuttered as his eyes were in tears, looking back to see the professional hero standing there with a disgruntled expression upon his face.
"So the widow strikes again…" he muttered, glancing up at the rooftops of nearby buildings to try and spot something. The sniper herself used her grappling hook to come down from the roof into a dark alley, placing her weapon onto her back as its barrel shifted into that of an assault rifle.
"You're welcome, Toshinori," she said in a French accent, taking out an MPG from her holster and activating it. After pressing a few icons upon the holographic screen that had appeared, a green portal opened up beside her, allowing for her to walk through it and disappear. The vortex vanished seconds later as well. Back at the apartment complex, the flames had finally been put out as Backdraft and the firemen came down from the extended ladders, and everyone who was inside at the time had safely been gotten out.
"Job well done, it seems," All Might noted with his hands at his hips. He then took notice of the Hellflame Quirk user approaching the group with the three arsonists he had apprehended over his right shoulder.
"You took your sweet time," he grumbled, throwing the three men down onto the ground in front of the police officers.
"Good work, Todoroki!" the number one hero complimented as he shot the man with the flaming beard a thumbs up. However, he took notice of the bleeding leg of the one arsonist, arching an eyebrow.
"Hey, what happened to him?" the Arbor quirk user asked as he came down from the building, reforming his right arm.
"Take a wild guess," Endeavor retorted as a response, confusing him and the others as they tilted their heads. The muscular man knelt down and examined the arsonist's wound, letting off a small grin.
"Widowmaker, right?" he guessed, catching their attentions, "Glad to know she's helping us out every now and then!" he noted with a hearty chuckle.
"Right…" the Hellflame Quirk user muttered in response as he rolled his eyes, "You and your Omni Force friends sure know how to take the fun out of a chase…" he pointed out, sounding disgruntled.
"Hey, that's fine," Kamui chimed in, "Thanks to the Omni Pact, they get to legally provide assistance for us without so much as reaping benefits from a hero agency," he explained while placing his hands at his hips.
"So long as it makes the job easier on us…" Backdraft added as he approached the group.
"Well said!" All Might agreed, smiling still as he looked up at the bright blue sky littered with clouds, including the smoke that still emerged from the burnt building.
EPISODE I PART I
THIRTEEN YEARS LATER
"Now who can tell me the names of all ten Omni Force squadron leaders?" Midnight asked the students of Class 1-A. It had been almost a month since the incident against the Eight Precepts of Death and their leader, Chisaki. Since that time, things seemed to be relatively normal, but were different because of how some people were feeling. Izuku Midoriya was one of those people who gone through a lot during the raid on the enemy's base during his internship. While the rescue was successful, his peer had lost his Quirk, his employer was dead as a result of the mission, and he and his mentor's relationship was growing further apart. Even so, he still had to smile because of how important it was for them complete the foreboding task. He raised his crooked right hand lined with scars, while just a few other classmates of his raised theirs. "Midoriya?" the teacher said, awaiting an answer.
"Ben Tennyson, Sunset Shimmer, Trafalgar Law, Erza Scarlet, Gaara Xiao Long, Ruby Rose, All Might, Mercy, Goku…" he listed off, pausing for a moment to make sure he knew the last one, "and Rose Quartz," he finished with a grin.
"Correct," the Somnambulist Quirk user replied, sounding impressed, "Could you tell me which ones are no longer in those roles?" she questioned, causing him to blink in surprise.
"Well… Rose Quartz disappeared over twelve years ago…" he stated as the others listened, "and… All Might is… well…" he tried to continue, appearing to be reluctant to say what was the truth.
"Right again, Midoriya," Midnight responded, going back to the interactive chalkboard and pressing a button on a remote she had to pull up the names of those associated with the Omni Force.
"Man, Midoriya knows pretty much everything about these guys…" Denki Kaminari whispered behind himself to those near him.
"I don't blame him for that," Eijiro Kirishima noted in reply, "All Might's a part of this group!" he mentioned, "And you know how psyched he gets about All Might…" he added jokingly. Having overheard the conversation, Izuku blushed a little in embarrassment.
"Now who can name a member of All Might's squadron off the top of their head?" the history teacher inquired, immediately getting quite a few students to raise their hands, "Dragneel?" she said to the girl sitting right behind the freckled teen.
"My mom, Lucy Heartfilia!" she answered, smiling cheekily. The one in front of her grinned at her enthusiasm. She too was with the group on the day of the rescue and had changed as well since. Her hair that was normally set in either a sideways ponytail or pigtails like her parent was now let down. It was about as messy as her father's own hair, but was only spiky at the top as it framed her face well without bangs.
"Right again," the Somnambulist Quirk user replied, making Natalie chuckle happily, "Though I suppose I should have someone else that isn't a Omni Force member's child be answering all these questions," she admitted sheepishly as she placed a finger onto her lips, "Anyone else?" she questioned.
"Yoko Littner!" Minoru Mineta suddenly shouted out as he slammed his left hand against the table, blushing an excited red as the girl in front of him shivered in surprise.
"Randy Cunningham's one of them, right?!" Hanta Sero guessed, sounding somewhat unsure.
"Uh… there's that… alchemist guy…" Mina Ashido chimed in with her head placed against her right hand as she was glancing up in thought, "Edward… Eric?" she inquired nervously.
"Rock Lee!" Tenya Iida exclaimed as he sharply raised his right arm.
"Sora," Katsuki Bakugo muttered, appearing to be bored with the lecture.
"Is Finn one of them?" Toru Hagakure questioned curiously.
"There's also Sonic and Simon, too," Tsuyu Asui mentioned as she put her index finger up against her right cheek.
"So the last one is… uh…" Ochaco Uraraka tried to guess, rubbing the back of her head nervously, "Asuna?" she inquired.
"That's incorrect," Midnight stated in response, causing the pink cheeked girl to slump down in her seat in defeat, "I'm sure a lot of you are aware of this person," she began as everyone listened on carefully, "but the last member of the list is Widowmaker," she stated, causing some people to gasp in surprise, while others remained stoic.
"Whoa, are you serious?" Mashirao Ojiro questioned, evidently shocked by the detail.
"It's true," the teacher replied with a nod, "Before it was discovered that she was a rogue agent that not only tried to infiltrate the task force of her home world known as Overwatch," she began to explain, "she had been recruited by All Might to be the sixty-eighth member of the Omni Force," she told the class, "Seven years ago however, her true intentions came to light as she attempted to assassinate All Might," she mentioned, making some of the students widen their eyes in complete astonishment. Even Izuku seemed astonished by the revelation, although he did know that it had happened.
"So… where is she now?" the Zero Gravity Quirk user asked curiously out of concern.
"That's what the Omni Force would like to know," Alice Fullbuster chimed in as a response, causing the majority of the classroom to glance over at her, "Since word of her going rogue became known to them, she shut off location tracking on her MPG," she explained, "Even if there was some way you could find her, she could get away pretty easily and be virtually impossible to find again," she mentioned as everyone seemed quite stunned, even the Somnambulist Quirk user.
"That is very true," she agreed before letting out a small breath of air, "For next class, you'll be taking a quiz on the Omni Force and will have to list all one hundred of its members in order," she told her students, as some paled in fright at the prospect, "In addition, there will be an extra credit point given out to any of you that can explain the Omni Pact legislation put into place fifteen years ago," she added, taking a deep breath of air, "All right, you're dismissed," she finished, stepping down from the class podium and sliding the large door open to exit the room.
"Wow," Denki uttered afterwards, leaning back in his seat, "This test is gonna be brutal!" he complained, holding his head in both of his hands.
"It's a quiz, dummy," Kyoka Jiro retorted while twirling her right earphone jack in her fingers, "And besides, you only have to list the names of the Omni Force members," she added.
"In order!" Mina screamed out frantically, "It's bad enough that we have to know the names of those guys!" she mentioned, rubbing her fingers through her hair roughly.
"We can all study together tonight if you want," Momo Yaoyorozu offered from the back of the room, catching their attentions.
"Yaomomo!" they exclaimed delightedly together, knowing that she would be a great tutor for them.
"I'll join in, too," Ochaco concurred, "After that little mess-up back there, I'm not feeling too confident…" she admitted sheepishly as she blushed.
"Well, we can all meet up in the lounge tonight and study," the class deputy declared, grinning happily.
"Sounds like I should go with her for a change," Eijiro admitted as he saw several people getting up to talk with the Creation Quirk user, "You wanna join in, Bakugo?" he questioned to the spiky haired teen.
"Pass," he replied, leaning back in his seat and putting his feet upon his desk, "I can get all those names down no problem," he stated confidently.
"Would you take your feet off the desk?!" Tenya demanded angrily as he instantly stood up. As conversations were happening all around him, Izuku remained silent as he thought about the infamous assassin that was a member of All Might's squadron. After a quick class of modern literature with Cementoss, everyone went off to the cafeteria for lunch.
"Deku!" Natalie cried out, catching the freckled teen's attention as she suddenly embraced him from behind in the hallway, "You feelin' psyched about acing Midnight's quiz tomorrow?!" she asked excitedly.
"H-Hey Natalie…" he stuttered in greeting, blushing a bright red before being let go, "I guess I am pretty confident that I'll breeze through it," he confessed.
"You mean we'll breeze through it, silly!" the dragon slayer corrected, playfully punching his left arm as he chuckled a little, "I feel like a lot's changed since that internship…" she admitted, glancing through the windows to see the bright blue sky.
"Yeah," her messy haired friend agreed, stopping to look with her. He then caught a glimpse of Raya Dashilee Tennyson and Rachael Hagane walking by them, holding hands. "In fact, that's the greatest one," he pointed out, causing the pink haired girl to look over and see the couple heading towards the cafeteria.
"Oh, yeah," she agreed with a light grin. Both of them knew that the pair, especially the Equestrian magic user, had gone through quite a lot with their relationship recently. After feeling as if her girlfriend had been the one to protect her after all this time, the half-rainbow haired girl had wanted to take on an internship with one of the famed upperclassmen, known as the Big Three. She interned alongside Izuku under the number one hero's former sidekick, Sir Nighteye, and wound up involved in the rescue mission at the Eight Precepts of Death's headquarters. There were several instances where she could have died, risking her own life to save one little girl from the clutches of someone so dastardly and insane. All the while, the requip user never knew about it until the next day, seeing her girlfriend's minor injuries from such a conflict then. Though she cried at the thought of potentially losing her, she was relieved to see her alive and well. By then, her beloved felt the same as well and was more confident to be open about their relationship going into the future. Seeing them walking together brought a smile to their freckled friend's face, but it soon vanished as he saw someone going past them. It was the skinny figure of All Might himself, donning a suit over his form as his blond hair was quite disheveled.
"All Might…" his successor uttered, shaking a little. A memory flew into his mind at that moment, as he had offered to give up the power that his mentor had bestowed upon him to one he thought was more worthy of it. Even his employer had stated that the upperclassman should have been the one to inherit One For All, but it was not meant to be as fate had intervened. Since the day of the rescue and his sidekick's death, All Might had not formally spoken with the student. Maybe it was grief that prevented him from talking, but he overheard the conversation in the hospital between the boy and his peer, which made things all the more difficult. He looked over to see him, noticing the small beads of sweat trickling down from his head before walking onwards.
"Uh… was that weird?" Natalie asked, somewhat perplexed by the lack of interaction.
"Huh…" Izuku sighed deeply, "We should go and eat," he advised, trotting off in the opposite direction. The dragon slayer blinked in surprise, worriedly glancing back at the former pro before going after her friend.

After lunch and a few more classes, the 1-A students all went back to their dorms for the evening. Most of them bathed and ate dinner quickly before getting together in the lounge for the study session with Momo, while others took their time and studied beforehand and then went to do the other things they needed to for the evening. The freckled teen had just finished taking a shower, donning only his pajama pants as he had forgotten his white t-shirt. His towel was draped over his shoulders as he brushed his teeth gently by the sink, staring into the mirror to see his reflection.
'Did… All Might know what I told Mirio?' he asked himself, trying to shake away the thought that his mentor was upset with him.
"Name the forty-eighth member of the Omni Force!" the Creation Quirk user yelled in the lounge with her hair down as Ochaco, Hanta, Denki, Mina, Kyoka, Minoru, Toru, Eijiro, Mashirao, Rikido Sato, Koji Koda, Yuga Aoyama, Mezo Shoji, Fumikage Tokoyami, Raya, Rachael, and Alice all had small whiteboards in their hands with dry-erase markers, all dressed for the evening. Even the Dragneel girl was among them, wanting to help out her friends who were struggling to figure out which members were which. Everyone wrote down a potential answer, with some looking more nervous than others to reveal what they thought was correct.
"I got it!" the Hardening Quirk user exclaimed aloud, raising his right hand quickly before putting up his board for everyone else to see, "It's Yang Xiao Long, right?" he inquired.
"Correct!" the class deputy responded with a smile.
"Yes!" he said excitedly as he pumped his fist. Some of the others were just as happy as he was, while the rest groaned in frustration.
"I totally thought it was Jenny Wakeman!" the invisible girl donning the tank top and sweatpants with slippers yelled, using an eraser to wipe away her wrong answer.
"Oh, this quiz is so not going to go well!" the Zero Gravity Quirk user complained, erasing her own her board.
"Now, now," Momo repeated in a placating manner, "we're all learning here and are here to help each other," she pointed out reassuringly.
"Besides, this is easy," Minoru commented in a gloating tone, "I can't believe you guys can't get one girl's name right…" he mocked, causing a tick mark to appear upon Denki's head, while some of the others glared at him. However, the class deputy smirked as she appeared to have a plan up her sleeve.
"Who is member number thirty-two?" she asked, making him suddenly pale in realization.
"Crap…" he uttered.
"'White Chase' Smoker!" Hanta screamed excitedly as he held up his board.
"That was right in my ear!" the Pop Off Quirk user shouted back at him as he held his head in his hands, starting an argument as Katsuki was walking by, donning a black t-shirt with a skull insignia and a pair of sweatpants.
"Now that I think about it," Eijiro began to chime in, catching the group's attention, "doesn't Bakugo kinda remind you of Yang Xiao Long?" he inquired, causing the Explosion Quirk user to come to an immediate stop.
"Huh?" he uttered with an arched eyebrow, glancing back at the ensemble of his classmates.
"Oh, yeah!" Rikido agreed, "They get angry, have great combat skills, and even have blonde hair!" he listed off.
"My hair's not as blonde as hers," the spiky haired teen chimed in, catching their attentions as they saw him there.
"But you sure act like her," Kyoka admitted, placing her hand onto her left cheek, "I wonder why that is?" she inquired, making him blink in surprise. Alice took immediate notice of his reaction, letting off a grin.
"If I didn't know any better, Katsuki," she began to make him perk up, "I'd say you have a crush on her," she remarked. He instantly blushed a mad red, gritting his teeth.
"Th-That's a lie!" he stammered out angrily, clenching his fists. Unfortunately, it didn't seem as if many of them believed him once they burst out into laughter.
"Who would've thought Bakugo of all people would have a crush on someone!" Eijiro mentioned, still chuckling.
"Oh yeah?!" the Explosion Quirk user bellowed, putting his hand onto the sofa, "And what about you and the metal claw chick?!" he inquired in a snarky yet enraged tone.
"Whoa, there's nothing going between me and Laura!" his friend argued, holding up his hands in a placating manner, "I mean, we interned together, but that was it!" he pointed out with a small tint of pink on his cheeks.
"Tch!" Katsuki scoffed, frustrated with being teased.
"Uh… how's the studying going?" Izuku asked, catching their attentions as they saw him walk into the room. Some of the girls' faces went red the moment they realized he was shirtless, especially Ochaco and Natalie.
"It's going well all things considered," Momo answered, scooching over to give him room to sit beside her on the couch, "How about yourself?" she asked.
"We all know the damn answer to that one," Denki pointed out, sounding disgruntled. Kyoka just groaned at him and rolled her eyes.
"If you need some help, I could give you guys some tips on how to remember them all," the freckled teen offered.
"Th-Thanks, Deku…" the Zero Gravity Quirk user stuttered in gratitude, pulling out her notebook to look over the list she made, "but I think we're good…" she reassured nervously, trying to keep her eyes off of him.
"Maybe talking one of the members more might help us focus," Mashirao suggested as an idea, having his arms folded behind his head.
"Oh, like that Widowmaker lady!" Toru chimed in, causing the messy haired boy to perk up slightly.
"Yeah, that's been bothering me for a while since Midnight's class," Mina admitted while putting her hands onto her cheeks, "What would've made an Omni Force member turn out that way?" she questioned, causing everyone to perk up.
"I… don't think it's as simple as her switching sides…" Izuku responded to get their attentions.
"What do you mean by that?" Eijiro asked, arching an eyebrow.
"Well… according to the news updates that came out," the freckled teen began, "Widowmaker was really a double agent or… a sleeper agent for this group opposing Overwatch," he explained, sounding somewhat reluctant to talk about it.
"I can vouch for that," Alice chimed in, "My father and other Omni Force members investigated this so-called group of mercenaries who were committing terror acts all across the globe," she told her classmates.
"And the name of that group was Talon, right?" Rachael inquired, chiming into the conversation as she was holding Raya close to herself in both of her arms.
"Yeah," the ice and water wizard answered.
"So the Omni Force… and Overwatch couldn't do anything to put a stop to her?" Rikido guessed, stunned by the information.
"They had no way of keeping track of her, remember?!" Toru chimed in loudly, "And like Fullbuster said, she could get away easily with that untraceable MPG of hers!" she pointed out.
"That's why she's dangerous and needs to be stopped," Katsuki added, causing everyone to perk up as they were surprised to hear him join in on the conversation, "It doesn't matter if she was an Overwatch agent, an Omni Force member, or even something else…" he listed off, "She stepped out of line, so she needs to get put down," he stated, walking off in a huff afterwards.
"Kacchan…" Izuku uttered, surprised by his demeanor towards the controversy.
"Well, we shouldn't keep you from your own studying any longer," Momo noted to him, catching his attention.
"Oh, yeah," he agreed, standing up from his seat, "Good luck, you guys," he said to the others, giving them a wave before leaving as well.
"Phew…" Mina breathed out afterwards, "I was turning more pink than I usually am," she admitted, fanning herself with her hands.
"I know, right?" the invisible girl beside her concurred, "I knew Midoriya was strong, but I didn't expect him to have a six pack!" she exclaimed as steam was emitting from her head.
"Hey, I have a six pack!" Denki pointed out, about to take his black shirt off.
"Knock it off, Kaminari!" Kyoka yelled whilst blushing, jabbing her right earphone jack into his forehead.
"AAAAHHHH!" he shrieked in agony.
"Yaomomo, how did you not get flustered from him sitting next to you?" the Acid Quirk user asked curiously, raising her eyebrow.
"Well, I am now…" the class deputy responded as a tint of pink appeared on her cheeks.
"Man, Midoriya gets every girl's attention these days…" Minoru complained, "I mean, just look at Uraraka!" he pointed out, causing the boys near him to turn and see the completely red face of the girl as she was trying to look at her notes.
"Uh… that's nothing compared to Dragneel…" Hanta mentioned, gesturing towards the dragon slayer. Everyone looked and gasped to see huge cloud of steam generating from her head as her skin had turned red in embarrassment.
"Hey, cool down Nat!" Rachael yelled as she held onto Raya protectively, "We don't need to turn the lounge into a sauna!" she mentioned. Fortunately, Alice quickly went over and placed her left hand onto the girl's right shoulder, letting a cold aura waft off of her to steadily decrease her friend's temperature until she was stable.
"Huh…" she breathed out afterwards, "Thanks for that…" she said in gratitude, sounding embarrassed.
"Guess Midoriya can really get a girl all hot and bothered…" the Pop Off Quirk user complained, only to get stabbed in the neck by Kyoka's left earphone jack, "OWWWWW!" he screamed in agony.
"Now on with the lesson!" the Creation Quirk user exclaimed excitedly. After a while of studying, everyone went back to their rooms to get ready for bed and do some last minute memorization before the end of the night.
'I wonder why All Might never told me about Widowmaker...' Izuku wondered as he sauntered into his bedroom, picking up the lone dumbbell with his right hand and starting some curls, 'Guess she was another negative legacy he wanted to forget about...' he realized inwardly, looking at the posters of the famed hero who had become his mentor. When he heard of his exploits as an Omni Force squadron leader, he had expected incredible stories of his numerous adventures alongside his fellow members. Instead, the one that appeared to stand out the most and was constantly talked about was the disbandment of Overwatch, which led to the infamous assassin becoming a mercenary that went against everything the multiversal group stood for. After another curl, he put the weight down, going over to his desk and putting on a green shirt. He did not notice that outside upon one of the buildings beyond his dorm was a familiar figure readying what appeared to be a sniper rifle. Her lips curled into a grin as her infrared mask allowed her to see through the curtains to lock onto her target, who sat down in his seat and pulled out his hero notebook, which was his twelfth edition. He opened it up and flipped through the pages, seeing the several names and powers of heroes he had jotted down, including the woman he had just been thinking about. Stopping to look at the page more closely, he noticed that he had written down his own questions: 'Who is she?' and 'What happened to her?'. From what he learned today, it seemed as if the answers would not lead him anywhere.
"Adieu, Symbol of Peace..." the female outside whispered aloud before pulling the trigger of her weapon, firing a sharp bullet aimed for the boy's head. Suddenly, a plume of flames arose just in time to incinerate it, causing everyone inside the dormitories to perk up instantly upon hearing the sound, including the messy haired boy as he was the first to see the fire. "Ah!" the sniper gasped, frustrated that she had been foiled as she looked down to see Shoto Todoroki standing there dressed in a white shirt underneath a navy blue jacket and black sweatpants.
"Who are you?!" he asked loudly as fire flickered from the left side of his body. She merely turned away and appeared to jump off the building, making him grit his teeth angrily.
"Todoroki!" a voice cried out, catching his attention as he looked to see Tenya running up to him alongside Mezo, Eijiro, Momo, and Rachael, "What's going on?" he questioned to him immediately.
"Trouble," he responded as he blinked, "I think someone's trying to-"
"Look out!" the masked teen yelled, tackling the Half-Cold, Half-Hot quirk user to the ground to avoid a flurry of bullets coming their way. The class representative ducked as well, while the other three shielded themselves, with the male hardening his arms to deflect the projectiles as the other two equipped metallic shields to defend against them. Once the bullets stopped coming, the group heard the sound of footsteps slowly approaching them, enticing them to all get into ready stances and onto their feet if they were down.
"Who is it?" the Hagane girl asked, requipping a sword into her right hand in a flash of light. Meanwhile, Izuku, Ochaco, Natalie, Alice, Raya, Fumikage, and Tsuyu all ran outside to join their classmates upon hearing the noise, with the former of the group widening his eyes in fright to see who it was.
"Widowmaker..." he uttered out, subconsciously closing his hands into fists as she came out into the light, revealing herself as the blue skinned woman with the long ponytail and the slender figure in her outfit, holding the same weapon she had, which had morphed into a machine gun. She smiled at the sight of the freckled boy.
"Now we'll do this the hard way..." she stated in a cold and menacing tone, as everyone grimaced a little.

A shadowy figure watched from atop the dormitory building as lights went on about each room in the 1-A area. It was a man dressed in a black cloak, having metal boots up to his knees and armored hands with claw-like fingers. Shotgun pellets cases were upon both his belt a brace around his neck. His dark hood was completed with a skull-like mask over his face, as he held a pair of twin shotguns in his hands.
"Widowmaker, pull back," he said quietly as if he was speaking through a communicator. Down below, the sniper herself heard his voice through an earpiece in her left ear, causing her to look away for a slight moment. "If you engage, Sombra might get compromised," his voice pointed out to her. Seeing that she was distracted for the moment, Shoto ignited his left arm and shot flames her way. However, she took notice just in time, firing her grappling hook to hit the part of the building to her right, reeling herself up to it to avoid the fire as she safely landed on the ledge.
"I don't think these children will let me, Reaper," she responded to her comrade.
"Ergh…" he growled angrily from afar, aiming one of his weapons towards the group below, "Fine," he muttered. Just then, one of the ears Mezo had formed upon the tips of his tentacles twitched, causing him to perk up and look around.
"Guys, there's someone else-! AGH!" he yelped loudly in pain as the group saw him get shot in the right shoulder, keeling over onto the ground.
"Shoji!" Izuku cried out immediately as everyone else gasped in horror. Tenya was about to head over to him until the dark figure came down from the rooftop, landing safely on his feet as the dark mist of what was like a shadow wafted around him. He chuckled sinisterly as he readied both of his shotguns, while most of the people before him shivered in fright. However, Natalie just gritted her teeth angrily, taking a deep breath before launching a torrent of flames from her mouth, attempting to strike the mercenary that had just arrived. He somersaulted away, barely avoiding the fire as it gave the Engine Quirk user the opportunity he needed to pick up the masked teen by his left arm.
"Someone needs to go get the teachers, now!" he demanded to his classmates as he extended out the exhaust pipes upon the back of his legs.
"I'll go!" Tsuyu declared with a croak, heading back inside the building.
"I don't think so…" Widowmaker muttered from afar, extending the barrel of her armament into a sniper rifle once more, letting her visor automatically come down over her eyes as she looked into its scope. She pulled the trigger, firing a sharp bullet that would strike the greenish haired girl at the moment she hopped up to the entrance. However, Rachael jumped in the nick of time, using the shields she had brought forth to deflect the attack, allowing for her friend to escape.
"Perfect…" Reaper grumbled in frustration, putting his focus back onto the teens before him.
"DIIIEEEE!" a voice suddenly bellowed, causing him to turn his head too late as he was blasted back by an explosion from Katsuki, who grinned deviously as his foe slammed into a wall from the force.
"Kacchan!" the freckled teen exclaimed in surprise upon his arrival.
"Midoriya, watch out!" Eijiro screamed, quickly getting in front of him and hardening his arms, crossing them to block a few more bullets that came from the sniper's weapon.
"Alice!" Shoto cried out as he readied his right arm, letting ice form upon it.
"On it!" the Fullbuster girl responded, slamming her palms against the ground to create a barrier of thick ice to surround her and her friends. The Half-Cold, Half-Hot Quirk user did the same, barely blocking a bullet from Widowmaker as she let her visor come up, staring down at the barricade the students were behind.
"Dammit, let me at 'em!" Katsuki demanded, about to blast the wall apart.
"Wait a sec, Bakugo!" his spiky haired friend called out, putting his left hand onto his shoulder, "If you rush out there, you're gonna get killed!" he pointed out seriously.
"It may not even matter in a few moments," Fumikage chimed in, catching their attentions as they saw parts of the ice wall on both sides starting to crack.
"What should we do?" Raya asked, activating her magic in a flash of light as her skin became a light cerulean, while she gained a ponytail, pony ears, and a pair of feathery wings.
"It's obvious that they're not going to back down…" the red and white haired teen realized as the cracks became larger.
'It's just like with the hero killer…' he remembered, placing his hand against the barrier to reform the cracked parts to keep it up.
"Ergh…" Mezo grunted, catching the attentions of his friends as they saw that his shoulder was still bleeding.
"We need to get Shoji away from this fight and keep everyone else out of it," Momo realized, seeing the cracks still forming on the barriers, "Iida, can you get him inside the dorm if we give you cover?" she inquired to the spectacled teen.
"Of course," he answered with a nod.
"I'll take skull face," the Explosion Quirk user declared with a devilish smirk as small bursts emitted from his sweat-ridden hands.
"Tokoyami, you should go with him," the class deputy advised to the bird-headed teen, who nodded in agreement.
"I don't need a damn babysitter!" Katsuki shouted back.
"But you'll need someone to give you some backup in case you get shot," Rachael retorted bluntly, letting her shields disappear in a flash of light before summoning forth a single sword in her right hand, "I'll go, too," she stated.
"That means the rest of us will take care of Widowmaker," the Hardening Quirk user concurred, somewhat nervous about the prospect.
"I can try drawing her fire," Raya offered, much to her girlfriend's surprise.
"Sweetie, no!" she yelled to her, "You'll get-!"
"Look, I'll get away from any of her shots as fast as I can," the Equestrian magic user responded reassuringly, "Don't worry, baby," she added with a wink, causing the requip user to blush profusely before turning away with a cute smile.
"Get ready," Shoto advised as bits of the ice wall were starting fall apart. Tenya made sure he had a firm hold on Mezo as he looked over at the opening to the building, letting his legs rev with energy. Momo brought forth a staff-like weapon from the skin of her right arm, Eijiro hardened his face and arms, and Ochaco touched a few of the larger ice pieces with her fingertips, making them float above her. Izuku was still overwhelmed by the situation at hand, but realized that there was a lot at stake if he and the others were going to hold out long enough for the teachers to arrive.
'One For All…' he began inwardly, letting red lines of energy streak along his face and arms, spreading throughout the rest of his body, 'Full Cowling!' he exclaimed as they disappeared, and green sparks of electricity began emitting from his form.
"Now!" Alice cried out, just as the ice walls shattered on both sides. The class representative immediately dashed off towards the building with the Dupli-Arms Quirk user in hand hurriedly. Reaper was about to fire at him, but suddenly found himself knocked back by something. He growled and looked to see that it was Fumikage's Dark Shadow, who readied its arms as he was joined by Katsuki and Rachael. Meanwhile, plumes of fire were shot up to the roof where the sniper was, enticing her to immediately somersault away as they struck the ledge.
"Hmph," she scoffed in frustration, taking notice of the half-rainbow haired girl flying up above her. Her visor came up as she looked through her scope and fired a few more bullets towards her, but she quickly evaded them, giving the others the chance to run towards the building and out of her sight.
"We have to get her down here!" Natalie shouted in a whisper, catching her comrades' attentions.
"How though?" the Creation Quirk user asked, looking over to see the requip user using her sword to block a shotgun pellet from their cloaked enemy.
"I think that's up to Raya…" Ochaco realized, grimacing worriedly for her flying friend. As Widowmaker continued to fire at her, Izuku took note of one of the courtyard's corners, widening his eyes as he thought of an idea. On impulse, he ran towards it to the surprise of the others.
"Midoriya?!" Shoto yelled, about to go after him until he saw him jump onto the wall, hopping quickly up the edifice from one side to another of the corner. At that moment, the cold skinned sniper steadied herself as she had a clear target of her airborne foe.
"Too easy," she uttered, ready to pull the trigger. Just then, the freckled teen hopped into the air, heading for her as he gritted his teeth and prepared his right leg.
"SMAAASSSHH!" he bellowed, catching her attention as she immediately jumped off of the roof over the ledge, avoiding his kick as it cracked the ground it struck, creating a flurry of dust. She then fired her grappling hook to latch onto the side of the building, allowing her to safely land down in front of the opposing students on her feet, looking to see them there.
"Heads up!" the Half-Cold, Half-Hot Quirk user yelled, seeing her shift her weapon's barrel into that of an assault rifle. She fired it off rapidly, only for her bullets to be blocked by another ice wall that Alice quickly formed to protect her friends as she pressed her palm against the ground to create it.
"Now release!" the pink cheeked girl exclaimed, putting the tips of her fingers together to create a small flash of pink light. The sniper suddenly felt something hit her shoulder, followed by glancing up to see pieces of ice raining down onto her.
"Let's get her!" Eijiro yelled excitedly upon seeing an opening, jumping out from behind the ice wall.
"Careful!" Momo advised as she ran after him. The makeshift hailstorm had stopped, but it appeared to be too late for Widowmaker as the pair ran up to her. The male of the two swiped at her first, having hardened his hands to be like claws. She narrowly avoided his attempts before having to duck away from the class deputy's created staff, having to step back. "HA!" the Creation Quirk yelled as she was about to strike her shoulder with the weapon. However, she grabbed it with her right hand, much to her shock as she looked to see the smirk on the mercenary's face.
"Such a sweet, foolish girl…" she remarked mockingly. Before the Hardening Quirk user could attack her again, the sound of a loud bang echoed, being her gun as she had shot the girl in front of her.
"Ah…" she uttered, looking down to see the blood spreading on her light red shirt from her new wound.
"YAOYOROZU!" Shoto screamed upon seeing her fall onto her knees and let go of her staff, which her enemy tossed aside. Before she could attempt to shoot at her again though, the spiky, red haired teen jumped in front of her, hardening most of his body to shield her from the flurry of bullets that were fired.
"Go get her out of there!" Alice cried out, enticing Ochaco to immediately run out to her. The Half-Cold, Half-Hot Quirk user was frozen in shock for a moment, but quickly shook his head to regain himself and rushed out to help get the class deputy away by holding her arms, moving her towards another corner of the courtyard.
"Crap, they got Momo!" Rachael noted as she looked back at her friends.
"Worry about that later!" Fumikage advised, sweating nervously as Dark Shadow was struggling to hold back the shotgun pellets shot from Reaper's weapons.
"Sombra, are you done yet?" he asked, apparently looking as if he had a communicator within his mask, causing his foes to perk up in surprise.
"Almost done," a feminine voice with a Spanish accent replied over communication, "Though this would be easier if Widowmaker hadn't blown our cover," she mentioned in a snarky tone as a complaint.
"It was part of the job, Sombra," the sniper retorted into her own earpiece. Suddenly, she pulled the trigger and felt no opposing force, realizing that she had run out of ammo.
"Fire Dragon…" a familiar voice began to echo, causing her to gasp to see Natalie about to come down onto her with both of her arms billowing with flames, "Wing Attack!" she screamed, throwing them down. Narrowly somersaulting away to avoid the attack, the mercenary quickly reached into her holster and pulled out another set of ammo, discharging the empty one from the rifle to insert it quickly.
"I don't think so!" Eijiro yelled, jumping in to attack her again. As the fighting raged on, inside the lounge of the dormitory, Toru and Mashirao were wrapping bandages around Mezo's bleeding shoulder as the rest of the class was there.
"Sounds like a warzone outside…" Minoru noted, shivering in fright from the noises of gunshots outside, "Why the hell aren't any of the teachers here yet?!" he shrieked in question, on the verge of tears.
"Asui's getting to them right now," Tenya responded reassuringly, "I bet Mister Snipe could take the two of them down," he pointed out.
"Ergh…" the Dupli-Arms Quirk user grunted, catching everyone's attention as he sat up straight in the chair he was in, "There's… a third one…" he breathed out, causing them to all widen their eyes in surprise.
"What?! Where?!" Kyoka asked quickly and frantically.
"I… can't tell…" he responded as blood dripped from his bandages, "It might be the reason they got in here… unnoticed…" he noted, making the class representative perk up.
'That's right,' he inwardly realized, placing his hand onto his chin in thought, 'The alarms should have gone off the moment they walked into the U.A. facility…' he said to himself, wondering if the mentioned third person had somehow disabled the school's security system.
"Hey, look at that!" Denki cried out, making everyone glance outside the windows to see the fighting still going on. Both Katsuki and Fumikage were attempting to close in on Reaper as Dark Shadow continued to cover for them, blocking the pellets that were fired their way. Before he could shoot another, a sword flew in and struck the shotgun in his right hand, breaking it as it fell to the ground in pieces.
"Grr…" he growled, ready to fire his other one until the Explosion Quirk user jumped in and blasted it out of his hand in an instant, "Great…" the mercenary muttered as the three students surrounded him.
"What now, skull face?" the spiky haired teen asked mockingly as small explosions emitted from the palms of his hands, while Rachael brought forth a new pair of katanas in a flash of light. Letting a black mist suddenly waft around his form, their enemy chuckled, reaching into his cloak to pull out a new pair of shotguns to the shock of those in front of him.
"You shouldn't have asked that…" he remarked sinisterly.
"GET DOWN!" Tenya yelled inside the building upon noticing, causing everyone to perk up in surprise. All of sudden, shotgun pellets shattered the windows and flew right towards them. Most of them ducked away in time, but a pair of shouts were heard as the shots kept sounding off outside. The masked man was firing his weapons at a breakneck speed, while the black mist shrouded his form from view. Everyone, even his comrade, had to lower themselves to avoid the attack.
"Huh…" she breathed out afterwards as she got up, "Idiot…" she muttered, looking back at her foes as Natalie and Eijiro stood to oppose her still. Back inside the dormitory, Mina grunted as she pushed herself off of the floor, opening her eyes and then widening them in fright to see spots of blood. She then looked up to see who was in front of her, being Rikido as he held his bleeding left hip in pain.
"G-Guys…" he stuttered out, keeling over as he had to place his hand against the floor to keep himself up.
"Sato got shot!" the Acid Quirk user shrieked to her friends.
"Ergh…" Denki's voice grunted, catching their attentions as they saw that he too had been hit in his right arm, "Is everyone else… okay?" he blurted out, starting to fall over. Kyoka immediately went over to catch him, shivering in fright as she and almost everyone else were teary-eyed out of fear.
"Stupid kids…" Reaper muttered as he finished his assault, dropping his empty shotguns onto the ground. He had also taken out the lampposts, darkening the area. With that, Dark Shadow began to grow exponentially larger, much to Fumikage's fright.
"Dark Shadow, no!" he demanded, trying desperately to retract him before he could potentially kill the man in front of them. However, someone else was already prepared to launch an attack, much to the mercenary's shock as he saw Katsuki standing in front of him, readying his hands.
"Stun Grenade!" he shouted, creating a sphere of light within his hands, which then imploded to create a large explosion with a blinding luminosity. His target got blown back into a wall, while the dark materialized form began to shrink, allowing for its user to return it to his body.
"Huh…" he sighed in relief, "Thank you for that, Bakugo…" he said in gratitude to the spiky haired teen, whose hands steamed with smoke.
"Shut up," he responded, "I was only trying to get skull face there," he stated, causing him to blink in surprise, while Rachael just groaned. Meanwhile, Natalie attempted to land a kick on Widowmaker, only to miss as she slid away and was about to fire on her. Unfortunately, her chance to do so was thwarted as Eijiro tried to slash at her with his claw-like hands. She dodged that as well, taking note of the fact that her partner was incapacitated for the moment as the students who fought him were now ready to join the others against her. Just then, she saw a shadow come over her, looking up to see Izuku being carried by his right arm by Raya, flying overhead until she tossed him towards her.
"SMASH!" he yelled, attempting to strike her with his right foot. She somersaulted away however, as his kick cracked the ground he struck. As she got onto her feet though, she looked to see that she was being surrounded by all the students in the courtyard. Alice went to join them with Shoto, while Ochaco stayed by Momo's side. All of a sudden, the sniper began to chuckle, looking over at the freckled teen as a serious countenance came across his face.
"You really want to be him, don't you?" she guessed, much to his surprise as he immediately understood what she meant.
"What do you want?" the dragon slayer asked in a threatening tone, igniting both of her fists in flames.
"Well, if it isn't the dragon…" the mercenary noted upon spotting her, "And… the knight, the Pegasus, and… the ice woman…" she listed off upon seeing the multiversal girls among them, as they perked up in surprise as well.
"Hey Widowbitch," the Explosion Quirk user remarked, catching her attention as she looked over at him, "there's nine of us and only one of you," he pointed out with a smirk.
"Hmph," she scoffed, letting off her own grin as she noticed Reaper starting to get up, pulling out a single shotgun, "I think this party is over," she stated, much to their confusion.
"AGH!" Katsuki suddenly yelped loudly as he was shot in the back of his right arm by the masked man.
"Kacchan!" Izuku screamed, while the others were ready to attack Widowmaker. However, she dropped an object onto the ground, which latched into it like a spider as a purple gas was within a glass cylinder that rotated upon it. The freckled teen gasped in shock upon realizing what it was. "Move!" he cried out, jumping away. It burst into a cloud of purple smoke that spread over the entire courtyard, allowing for the sniper to run over to her comrade, having a rebreather in her mouth as she shot her grappling hook to hit the ledge of the roof, taking hold of his hand before reeling herself up with him.
"What… is this?" Natalie asked, muffled as she had her mouth covered with both of her hands.
"Don't breathe it in!" Alice advised, struggling to hold her own breath. Suddenly though, everyone could feel something sucking away all the gas, looking over to see it get taken away from the area, allowing them to breathe again. As the two mercenaries looked on from the rooftop, the female smirked to see that was Thirteen who had vacuumed away the poisonous gas into the open right index finger of his suit, standing beside Snipe, Cementoss, Midnight, and principal Nezu. Tsuyu was among them as she was helping Recovery Girl tend to Mezo, Rikido, and Denki.
"Bakugo, you okay?!" Eijiro called out, rushing over to his friend as he stood back up firmly with a grunt, still bleeding.
"Yeah… I'm fine…" he replied, breathing angrily with clenched teeth. Arriving on the scene was well were Shota Aizawa and All Might, who widened their eyes at the sight of the damage done as all the gas had been sucked away, with the Space hero flipping the cap to his finger closed.
"The hell happened here?" the former muttered in question. The latter glanced up towards the roof and let his mouth hang open in astonishment.
"W-Widowmaker?" he stuttered out of disbelief, shaking a little. Upon the rooftop, another figure joined the pair, being a young woman with brown skin and a distinct curved hairstyle parted to her right with light violet tips, while the other half was somewhat shaven with what appeared to be cybernetic attachments. Her outfit consisted of a short sleeved black jacket with a large collar and included a belt that appeared to have grenades upon it. Another distinct feature she had was that her arms and legs were covered by a cybernetic, purple armor that had numbers and coding appearing all over them. She donned black, fingerless gloves over her claw-like hands and violet mascara upon her eyelids with a pair of black earrings. She curled her purple lips into a grin upon seeing the sights below.
"Well, looks like you had all the fun," she remarked, placing her hands at her hips.
"Did you get the data?" Reaper asked, ignoring what she said.
"All of it," Sombra replied, "It was a bit tricky to hack the system," she admitted somewhat sheepishly, "but I guess since their security couldn't stop me," she continued in a snarky tone, "why would their firewalls?" she questioned rhetorically, letting out a chuckle. The masked man just growled and walked past her.
"Let's go," he advised, causing her to arch an eyebrow.
"What about your 'other job'?" she asked, gesturing down below. Widowmaker stared down at Izuku, also noticing All Might as well.
"Not tonight," she responded, setting her weapon onto her back, "We'll get that done another time," she stated, taking out her MPG from her holster. In the courtyard, everyone saw a bright green flash of light emerge from the rooftop, causing them to all perk up in surprise. Raya flew up to see what it was, being a portal that disappeared moments after she discovered it.
"They… got away…" Alice realized slowly. The green sparks then disappeared from the freckled teen's body as he closed his hands into fists out of frustration.
"Yaoyorozu!" Shoto exclaimed, quickly running back over to her and Ochaco. Recovery Girl soon came over to help assist getting the Creation Quirk user to her office along with all of the others who had been shot from the attack. Katsuki was prepared to go on his own, but Eijiro helped him despite the fact he tried to plead that he was fine.
"Deku…" Natalie uttered, catching her close friend's attention as he saw her walk up to him, "you doing okay?" she asked, letting the flames on her extremities go out before taking hold of his right one.
"I… I don't know…" he confessed in reply, as it seemed like too much of a coincidence that the woman they had talked about in class had just attacked them. He then glanced over and shared a look with his mentor, who stared back at him seriously. The animosity in the air was thick, as was the blood that stained the courtyard ground and the lounge floor.
END
Whoa. Not gonna lie, it took two days to come up with this first chapter. And wow, I think I delivered perfectly. Of course, not a lot of you know about Overwatch or even My Hero Academia for that matter. So I plead to you guys, watch the animated shorts and episodes, read the manga and comics, anything! Both of these series are amazing in their own rights and I am proud to give my own representation of what a crossover would be like.
Now the next chapter won't be coming for a while since I want to get both "Omni Force: WAR" to its halfway point and "Going Wild" done, but also because final exams are coming up, and I want to do exceptionally well with them. So folks, let's hear a Plus Ultra as we move into the new story that is now known as "Traitor"! I hope you enjoyed this first chapter!
