Dr. Angela Zieglar or more commonly known as Mercy had answered Winston's call and had made her way to Watchpoint Gibraltar where Winston had been living for several years.

Since she had been there she had already conversed with Winston about the whole situation Overwatch had been put in, now that he had initiated the recall. She knew that the Petras Act was going to make all of their global operations much more difficult than they had been back in the golden days but they would have to suffice.

She had set up in one of the old medical laboratory's that Winston had no use for since he had taken up residence in the old watchpoint. She was tidying the area when Winston's voiced appeared through the facility's speakers. At first, it made a loud screeching noise which caused her to cover her ears before his Winston's gruff voice actually came through.

"Sorry about that," He said apologetically through the speakers. "I've found something interesting that I would like to talk to you about, come find me when you finish whatever you are doing."

Mercy thought for a moment about what Winston may want to talk to her about. He had already talked her ears off when she first arrived about how grateful he was for her coming in the first place, but she told him it was no problem.

Mercy then entered the main room which Winston was using as his own lab. She looked around but she couldn't see her primate friend anywhere.

"Winston, where are?" Mercy said whilst looking around on the spot to see of she could see him anywhere.

"Up here," She heard Winston say. She turned to the source of the voice as she saw Winston swing down on a large tire that was hanging from the ceiling. He then promptly landed in front of her making a thud as he landed. He then adjusted his glasses so that they were straight and looked at Mercy.

"So, what is it you wanted to talk to me about Winston?" She asked him curiously.

"Ah yes," He said to her all excitedly. "Follow me and I'll explain."

She then followed him to a large computer which had various different tabs open all strung out across the screen. She briefly scanned each one of them and from what she gathered from them was that they were all connected somehow.

"Now," Winston said as he typed on his holographic keyboard. "Have you ever heard of the Gravel Wars?"

Mercy scratched the side of her head as she tried to think if she had ever heard of it before Winston had mentioned it to her.

"No, never heard of it," She said as she lowered her arm back down to her side.

"Well then, allow me to educate you," Winston said to Mercy as if he was a teacher. "In New Mexico America, during the early 1970's," He then paused for a brief moment. "During 1972 to be precise," He added. "There were two rival companies, one called Reliable Excavation Demolition and the other, Builders League United, owned by brothers Redmond Mann and Blutarch Mann who fought bitterly over the land that heir father had left them equal shares off." He elaborated.

"So where do we come into play?" Mercy asked with crossed arms.

"I'm glad you asked," Winston answered. "Both brothers hired nine mercenaries to try and take the land from each other according to the files I could dig up," Winston said as Mercy continued to listen patiently. "From what I've found is that they had access to some serious technology that could even match what we have today."

"But that is certainly impossible," Mercy said with shock.

"Well, I don't know how accurate all of this information is, part of it was corrupted, all I could salvage was something about a truce before the conflict started again." Winston further explained.

"Where are you going with all this Winston?" Mercy asked more impatiently now.

"Okay, I want to send you into the past and see what you can find out anything you can about these people," Winston said all excited.

Mercy blinked a couple times as she processed what Winston had just asked of her. Does he really want to send me into the past was what she kept repeating to herself in her head?

"Is that even possible," She asked him.

"Well if we take what Tracer can do into account, then time travel is a perfectly plausible idea," He stated.

"Well then if it can help benefit our cause then why not," Mercy said raising both her hands outwards to the sides of her head.

"I'm glad you agree with me, now let me lay out the plan to you," Winston said raising a finger. "I am going to create a device similar to Tracer's chronal accelerator only more compact and the fact that you would be able to use it as you don't suffer from chronal dissociation disorder," Winston carefully explained to her. "You will then travel to 1972 and procure as much data and information as you possibly can whilst making as minimal contact as you can with the people there."

"Sounds simple enough," Mercy responded with.

"Well it's not that simple, these men are mercenaries after all so I don't know what they would do if a new face showed up on their turf so to say," Winston said for the consideration of Mercy's wellbeing.

"Don't fret Winston, you know I can handle myself," She said to reassure him.

"Well then it's agreed, I'll get to work right away and I'll come and get you when the device is ready."

"Alright Winston," Mercy replied.

The two then left each others company as Winston started work on his time travel device and Mercy went back to her own lab to finish what she was doing there.

As she walked there, her head was filled with hundreds of thoughts about what she was going to partake in. She was really going to time travel and although she was nervous about it, she couldn't help but also feel extremely giddy as if she was a little girl again.

She then paused herself for a moment so that she could just recollect her thoughts and get back into a proper state of mind.

Several days later

After being called back to Winston's laboratory Mercy could see him tinkering with a device which she assumed to be the creation that would allow her to travel into the past.

"It's ready I presume?" She asked Winston to get his attention.

Winston turned around and she could see that his face was beaming.

"Yes, it is, after several tests I have managed to get the device working, here look."

Winston then showed her the device. It looked like an old digital watch and she was impressed that he managed to compact the technology into something that small. He then set the watch for it to travel ten seconds into the future. Winston then wrapped it onto a nearby banana and pressed a button on the watch. The banana then disappeared in a small cloud of blue smoke and then promptly reappeared in ten seconds time.

"Winston, this is truly amazing," Mercy said as she leaned in to examine the watch and the banana. Winston then picked up the banana and took off the watch and handed it to Mercy. He then peeled open the banana and dunked it into some peanut butter and took a large bite.

"Tastes just as good," Winston said savouring the flavour.

Mercy then wrapped the watch around her wrist and saw that Winston had already put in her time and coordinates as a preset.

"Well, here I go, wish me luck," She said jokingly to Winston.

"Good luck," He responded with a light chuckle.

She then pressed the button on her watch causing her to instantaneously disappear in a cloud of blue smoke.

"Good luck my friend," Winston said as the cloud started to disperse.

A/N: Well then, what do you think of the first chapter and what do you think is going to happen in the future, or should I say the past.

Please leave a review about what you thought as I will appreciate it greatly.
