AN: Yes, this is another story. I'm starting to gain more ideas for new stories and ideas again, and so I want to bring this out there to see what the community thinks. So, just to clear a few things up…
1. Blackjack will have access to all abilities and specialist weapons from Black Ops III, but he's in the Overwatch universe.
2. This story will mesh the BO3 and Overwatch storylines/universes so it would make sense why the world is the way it was.
3. This universe could potentially take aspects from CoD MW2, MW3 and Advanced Warfare in the future in terms of characters, setting, and corporations. (I.e Vladimir Makarov, Gassed Paris, Atlas)
4. 4. All Overwatch characters will eventually be in the story.
I hope you all enjoy.
Disclaimer:I don't own any of this. CoD belongs to Activision and Overwatch belongs to Blizzard Entertainment.
Looking outside his window, he saw anarchy. Lots of it. Ever since the end of the Omnic Crisis and the fall of the 54I, many of their remaining specialists had either hid with their only remaining leader, Goh Xiulan, or had gone out to do their own deeds outside of Singapore. Not the mercenary known as Blackjack.
Ever since that fateful day during the Omnic Crisis; when everything went wrong…
( 5 years before now, Biodomes, Singapore)
At the time, young Danny Li gained in contact with some informants of his that would grow to become the organization known as Talon. He was talking to them inside the 54I's main base, the Biodomes, which was basically the one generator that powered all of Singapore. He was talking to two people, one of which he would later recognize as "Reaper". The other…well, she had purple skin. He only heard of her when the assassination would happen in London, nearly 4 years after.
"So…are you willing to support our organization, Mr. Li?" The Reaper asked, as he gave him a holographic image containing information about Overwatch.
"It's no longer about blue, Mr. Reaper; it's about green. Singapore dollar no longer very poor since 54i saved this city from complete anarchy." Danny told the two Talon agents.
"And what do you mean by…complete anarchy?" Reaper asked, as the Widowmaker took a sip of her drink.
"Before the 54i, the Singapore government left the Winslow Accord. They sent elite agents, known as Overwatch, to assassinate their leaders. What they never knew, would be that a criminal organization would be waiting in the shadows, ready to strike and take the mantle of the government. Ever since, we've been worrying that the Winslow Accord or some other foreigners would end our own reign. That's why we created the Biodomes; as a connection to the main world. Without it, we would have nothing. No power, no TV, nothing. There would just be a city. I didn't expect people like you to even stay here." Danny informed them.
Then, an unknown voice said, "And we didn't expect Talon agents to appear in Singapore…"
Soon, multiple 54i troops, as well as both Goh Minn and Goh Xiulan, as well as one of their enforcers, known as Seraph, entered the room, with the Talon agents looking in suspicion at their new guests.
Now surprised, Danny told their new arrivals, "Oh, Goh Minn! I didn't expect your presence in this place. I was just talking to our new allies."
At first, Minn looked suspiciously at both of the agents, before calming down and getting a new drink for their fellow guests. Unbeknownst to them, this is where that fateful moment would come.
"Welcome to Singapore." Minn said before the door behind the Talon agents broke, and a massacre occurred. Goh Xiulan, Seraph, and a couple other soldiers escaped the massacre, as well as Reaper,who teleported him, along with the Widowmaker, to their VTOL.
As for Goh Minn and Danny Li…they weren't so lucky. Them, along with 15 other soldiers, were pounded with hundreds upon hundreds of gunfire. Before Danny met what he thought was his demise, he saw one little thing. The same person that brought Singapore into the same anarchy that would be happening when he became the Blackjack; that person…was Jack Morrison…
(End Flashback)
Danny looked at his body. He was paralyzed from the neck up…and in order to stay alive, he had to be cybernetically augmented. In trade of that, in addition to a safe house, the Blackjack had to become a mercenary, eliminating those that his landlord didn't see fit or that was on his skin.
He took his specialized Rift E9 and KN-44, as his access to the Black Market, which was reopened in the old Biodomes, became granted, as he went out into the massive destroyed city of Singapore, where fires were at every block, and the law was non-existent. He took out an Annihilator gifted to him by an old informant of the 54i, as a way to honor the 54i all these years later.
He went out on the town, as people ran away from him in fear. The local populace, despite not fearing any attack by the Winslow Accord in the wasteland known as Singapore, feared Blackjack for his ruthless killings, and had feared that they would be next.
As Blackjack walked toward the gang hideout, located in an old hotel, someone was following him via rooftops. And not even the Blackjack could know that…
(On a rooftop…)
Amelie knew this fixer. The one who saw a member of the old Overwatch before the Winslow Accord broke them up. Why she went off to the wasteland known as Singapore to find him, she had no clue. But…seeing this man surviving the destruction; surviving this "Wild West" of Southern Asia…this was certainly not expected. And the fact that he has access to the entire Black Market, gaining access to some of the most modern technology to date… That was certainly an accomplishment.
Plus, she had to admit, he was somewhat handsome back then.
She wasn't here to take anything or recruit him to Talon; all she wanted to do was talk.
And she was willing to do anything to make sure that happens.
