Chapter 1 - A Ninja in Need

"Angela, honey. Look at us. Everything is going to be fine, stay down there, you will be fine."

"I don't want to go, mother." Angela cried, her mum looking at her with tears in her eyes.

"Be safe." Her mother began to fade away as her father did, too. The entire scene began to fade away...

"Mother!" Angela shouted, awakening at her desk. Sighing, she flicked her blonde hair away from in front of her eyes to the right and slowly stood up, coming to her senses. Angela Ziegler was in Japan on a mission with some of her allies from Overwatch, she decided to stay in a room in Hanamura for the night to help out in the Omnic Crisis and possibly even gain some more information on the Shimada Clan. Angela's name at Overwatch was 'Mercy' and that is what she was best known for, whether she liked it or not. She looked into the corner of the room at her equipment that she had brought with her. The Caduceus Staff, one of her greatest medical breakthroughs, a staff that creates a healing beam that tethers to anyone she focuses it on, next to that, her Caduceus Blaster a small pistol that didn't cause much harm due to her staff and Valkyrie Suit, they were very expensive to create, her suit was another one of her great discoveries, it could heal minor and some major wounds after a single second of harm having an impact on her. She smiled at her great work as she often did, very proud of her creations. Taking things off her mind, she walked over to the window and opened it wide for some fresh air.

That night, the streets of Hanamura were peaceful, no one at the arcade and no one at the local food joint known as 'Rikimaru'. She had been there that day and the food was amazing but not quite as good as Swiss chocolates of course. The thought made her giggle to herself as she took a deep breath and took a look at the Shimada Castle. As quickly as the peacefulness was there, it was gone as loud shouting echoed through the village which made Angela jump slightly, several shouts and cursing in Japanese and English followed the shouts of pain and agony. She could hear glass being shattered and wood violently snapping and breaking, the more she heard the faster her heart beated and soon she found herself unable to stand there any longer. With a slight sense of panic, Angela turned to the corner of her room where her equipment was, she darted towards it. Valkyrie suit, caduceus staff and blaster. Warily, she stepped out the window and glided into the dark streets, her valkyrie suit had wings at the back that allowed her to glide down, the wings would spread out and glow a bright yellow colour when she was using it to glide.

Listening to the horrid screams, she ran through the village, taking a right before Shimada Castle, she started to think about what horror she could be near. Gang activity was high in this area, especially near the Shimada Castle, would the attackers be aggressive to her, too? All of a sudden, the screaming was over and there were short bursts of curses and shouts for help. Turning the corner into a dark alleyway, caduceus blaster at the ready, she saw a man lying on the floor, not moving. Quickly scanning the area for any more activity, she made her move.

"Oh, Lord..." Angela floated to the body hoping with everything she could that the man wasn't going to be dead. Looking at him, it was nothing like she'd seen before. Some parts of him had been harmed beyond repair. Ziegler let all these thoughts fade away as getting her patient better again was the only thing that mattered.

"Hello? Can you hear me?" Angela asked, with panic in her tone. The man coughed and looked at her with his amber eyes. A sigh of relief swept across her as she began to help the man best she could. For a moment, she forgot that she probably should be speaking Japanese but it wasn't her strongest language.

"My name is Angela Ziegler, I am head of the medical department at Overwatch. I'm going to do everything I can to help you right now. Can you understand me?" Astonished that someone wanted to help him so much right now, all he could say was:

"Thank you..." He smiled at her the best he could while in pain. Pulling out her caduceus staff, she turned it on and it instantly tethered a soothing beam that stopped the bleeding and managed to halt some of the pain. Getting a better look at him, she could see that he had been brutally injured, scars deeper than she'd ever seen. Some of his limbs didn't look like they were going to make it.

"Ah... That's... That's better." Genji's pain relief made Angela overwhelmed, no matter how many times she had helped someone before, it was always an ecstatic time when her patient was happy in her care.

"Winston? I need support right now. I'm fine, I've got someone who desperately needs help right now and I need to bring him back to the headquarters in Switzerland immediately." She hung up rapidly and tucked her phone away into her pocket.

"Y-You're going to be okay. I'm sorry that I can't do much more for you right now, we're going back to the HQ and we're going to patch you up best we can, is that okay?" Angela struggled to get her words out as she found more and more injuries on the man while she inspected him. He had jet black hair, wearing what could only be assumed to be martial arts training gear in green and black.

"May I ask your name, please?" Angela attempted to distract him from his injuries, a technique she had been very fond of when dealing with patients.

"Genji... Genji Shimada." He stuttered slightly, wary if he should be revealing his family name to his doctor. What if she stopped attempting to help him? The name wasn't exactly famous, infamous was better phrasing for it.

"Ah. It's very nice to meet you, Genji." Still a half smile, she rested a hand on his to assure him that he was safe with her. Genji got a better look at her, a beautiful woman kneeling next to him. Blonde hair, done up quite messily. Sky blue eyes and an amazing smile. She looked like an angel with her wings and staff of healing. A guardian angel. Genji was speechless, this woman was helping him even though she very well knew who his family was.

"Curse you, brother." Genji exclaimed, eyes shut in pain. Angela chose to ignore the comment for now.

A few minutes went by, Angela getting more worried as time went by, Genji could tell as she kept putting her healing stream on Genji, even if it couldn't do any more for him than it already had. To her relief, a large flying vehicle halted above their position and let out a ladder as some soldiers began to climb out almost immediately.

"The Orca!" Angela yelled in excitement.

The soldiers dropped down and laid a stretcher on the ground and moved the young Shimada onto it. The Orca moved out of the town and onto an area with a lack of buildings, in order to open its doors and allow the soldiers carrying Genji to get in. Angela retrieved her laptop and paper work from her desk, stuffing them hastily into a small bag that she kept and grabbed her suitcase, moving towards the Orca.

Angela helped carry Genji on the stretcher to the recreational table. Swiping cards and a few tablets onto the seats around it quickly, she watched as the soldiers placed Genji on the table.

"You're going to be okay, we're going home." Angela assured him, smiling with happiness that the Orca got there when it did.

"Thank you so much, Winston. I think we've saved this man's life." Angela smiled and fetched med kits from a cabinet near the table.

"I got Athena to help as soon as I got your call, Ziegler." Winston replied, happy to see her so cheerful. Winston adjusted his glasses on his nose, they weren't really meant for gorillas after all.

"Biotic syringes and... aha! Biotic bandages!" Bringing the whole kit to the table, she began to undress the top of Genji and began applying the bandages that cleansed any wounds that they were laid on although not fully healing them.

"Only temporary but it will have to do." Angela sat on the blue sofa that surrounded the table and put her hand on her patient's hand as she often did. For a moment, Angela considered revealing his name to Winston but decided that it was best kept to her for now. After all, getting Genji better was all that mattered to her right now.
