I only own my OCs.
Jacob Oxton huffed, having just finished his workouts for the day when an alarm started to go off at the Watchpoint. Surprising considering they were on the moon as a perfectly legal version of Overwatch, even if some of them were a little…..different from your ordinary human.
"What is it Mum?"
He asked as he walked into the meeting room of the Lunar Horizon Watchpoint. His mother and the current leader of Overwatch smiled at him, still brimming with energy even as she'd been in her youth.
"Bit of trouble in the past. There's a new threat rising and the old Overwatch is gonna need your help."
Lena said, looking up at her son. Jacob was a fair bit taller than her, one of the few things he'd inherited from his father, King Genn Greymane. The only other thing being his inherited Worgen form, which combined with his similarly inherited Chronal Dissociation, made him essentially nothing more than an unnaturally fast wrecking ball of muscle, fangs, and claws.
"So we're going to do an instant recall?"
Lena laughed a bit and smiled at him.
"Not instant, but you do have to go back. And this time, I will be here to advise you. Understood? Things have changed in….unexpected ways. Mostly in parentage. Incredibly odd. But still, you will each be sent in groups. Kill only when necessary."
Lena said sternly, watching her son bow his head slightly.
"Yes ma'am."
He responded. He understood what she meant seeing that they had somehow retained their knowledge of the last time they meddled in the timeline and the memories from the altered timelines.
"So who are we sending first?"
Jacob asked, not bothering to sit down as he had on odd feeling he'd be going first as the field leader for what was now known as Overwatch:Timewarp.
"You'll be going alongside Diane Lacroix, Jiang Ling-Zhou, and Luiz Correia dos Santos. Jiang acting as your tank thanks to his….well...between you and him you've got the tank role covered. As much as a giant bear and worgen possibly could."
Jacob smiled, flashing sharp worgen fangs.
"That's true. I'll round everyone up."
He said before heading to one of the translocators that had been built into each base. Saluting once to his mother before vanishing off to gather his team and head to Watchpoint:Oasis.
"Taking a guess, you all needed me to open a time portal back to when you all went timeline hopping so you can help fix the past, again."
Moira's daughter, Aileen O'Deorain said easily as she opened up the portal without question.
"Basically it. Thanks!"
Jacob called before jumping through the portal with Diane, Jiang, and Luiz, the team of four spiralling into a comfortable stealth landing as they stood upright around Watchpoint:Gibraltar.
"Move out everyone. Stay low, avoid security cameras. Find an entrance point and call the others once ya do."
He whispered before morphing into a worgen, sailing forward in a smooth barrel roll before stalking forward, staying as low to the ground as possible as he slunk ahead. Nose to the ground as he sensed his companions doing the same. Luiz staying as close to the ground as he could and dimming the lights on his roller blades as Diane, being the daughter of a sniper and what was essentially a walking dead guy named Xul, didn't mind being incredibly patient to get to where she wanted to be. Jiang was the burliest of the group, being the son of an anthropomorphic sword wielding panda, and still managed to move silently.
Ears pricked, Jacob looked over at his team when he found an entry vent.
"Got an in."
He whispered, holding his position as he waited for them to get to him before letting Diane crawl over to open the vent and returning to his human form, Jacob led the way, crawling through the tight space before realizing he would have to climb 3 stories straight up without falling. And there were no handholds in the vent.
"Careful."
He urged before forcing himself upward as silently as possible. Using his core and leg strength, he pressed his back to one end of the vent and braced himself with his feet against the far wall, the narrow shaft working for him as he climbed up.
Noticing their leader's movements, Diane and Luiz followed, Liang behind them after closing the vent back.
As he moved, Jacob checked the time, not surprised to find it near midnight, and he looked down. They'd been climbing for at least an hour, and even his worgen enhanced strength and stamina was about to give out. It was taking all he had to keep himself pressed to the walls of the vent, and the more he sweat under his RAF jacket, the more slippery it got for himself and his friends.
"Almost."
He thought as he pulled himself into one of the main air vents, that was thankfully horizontal. Not enough to stand, but enough for the four teens to crawl on their stomachs through it and stay hidden. Creeping through the crawl space, following Jacob's nose, the teens loyally followed their leader.
"What's the plan for when we get there boss?"
Liang asked, tired of holding up his own weight in their cramped environment.
"First things first, make nice. Which means Diane's gonna have to hand off Frozen Kiss to someone else. Preferably me all things considered."
Diane huffed. She was no stranger to the problems that came with being the daughter of Widowmaker, and was rather surprisingly mellow about everything that came her way. Usually.
"Fine. But I keep the scythe. It was father's."
She said coldly before releasing the clasp that was holding her sniper rifle, Frozen Kiss, to her back in a position that wasn't too different from how one would carry a bowie knife.
"Here. And don't you drop it or else."
She hissed, passing it up to Jacob who strapped it across his chest as they continued upwards, eventually intercepting the elevator and opening the top hatch to ride inside. Much to the surprise of Dr. Angela Ziegler.
"Um…..hello?"
She said nervously, noticing Frozen Kiss right away.
"Nice to see you again, or is this the first time we've met?"
Jacob asked, not sure how far back Aileen had sent them.
"First time we've met. Fairly sure I'd remember you kids."
Jacob nodded a bit. So they'd have to take down Talon and the splinter faction.
"Well then. I should probably introduce you to everyone. I'm Jacob Oxton, callsign Blink. This is Diane Lacroix, callsign Ice Omen, Liang Ling-Zhou, callsign Bear, and Luiz Correia dos Santos, callsign Revolution."
Angela stiffened up a bit but looked each of them over in turn and nodded.
"Alright…..Angela Ziegler. Dr. Angela Ziegler."
The teens each plastered on their most innocent smile and Angela looked them over one last time.
"Is it just me, or do you kids look a lot like..."
Jacob interrupted smoothly.
"Overwatch agents. We know. Sorta. To make a long story short, time travel is easier than it seems. I'm Tracer's son. No, the gun isn't mine, Diane is Widowmaker's daughter and the gun is hers. Liang is Mei's son, and Luiz is Lucio's son."
Angela nodded. She felt as if she'd met Jacob before, but if he was from the future, how was that possible. Unless of course, it wasn't the boy's first experience with time travel...
