If you were to ask me what makes a person a hero, I would answer… I don't know. The reason for this? It's because I'm not one of those heroes you would hear before going to sleep. I used to think they would always save the day, save the people from the danger, and are not afraid of anything. But when your actually put into the danger; When it stares you right in the face, you realize the truth of all of it.

When I was little, I used to wanna be one of those heroes, now… The term hero to me, is just a word.


(Third P.O.V)

All was quiet throughout the village of Hanamura. Most of its citizens had already gone to sleep so that they could start the new day fresh. Well the village was almost asleep in a way. A young teenage girl at the age of seventeen having an odd eye color of red and gray and shoulder length black hair that was somewhat spiked, part of it being dyed purple was walking along the quiet streets of the village going somewhere.

The teenager wore a brown short sleeved hoodie over a red tank top. With it she wore a pair of medium gray pants up to her mid-thigh with a brown buckle. One both of her legs she wore a pair of leg warmers held up by red buckles; on her right foot was a red shoe, while her left leg was completely robotic. Her left arm was robotic as well and she wore a fingerless glove on her right hand. Around her neck she had on a light purple choker with a necklace that had a familiar logo.

As she walked down the street, she was drinking from a can of soda while holding two bags of groceries; most of it containing various fruits, snacks and sodas. As she threw the empty can of soda into a trash can nearby, she checked how much money she had on her.

"Looks like it'll be enough for Kings Row." She thought aloud.

She rounded the corner and soon caught a glimpse of an Omnic being kicked and beaten, by a local gang; of course they were older than her. They shouted in Japanese; most of them being harsh and crude things about the Omnic. Letting out a sigh, she set the groceries nearby and approached them. She didn't say anything to them as she had just tapped one of the guy's shoulder and punched him clear across the face, sending the man to the floor. The others tried to charge at her to attack her, but she had kicked them hard in the stomach knocking them out.

She turned to the Omnic on the floor. "You really can't go one night without getting beaten up, can you Roger?" She said to the Omnic named Roger. She held her hand to Roger, and he took it. She helped him to stand when he had stumbled, and that's when she noticed him holding onto something.

"What's that in your hand?"

Roger unclenched his hand and she saw that it was money. "You stole that money from these assholes didn't you?" All Roger did was nod his head in reply with the girls answer.

"Guess that's why they turned you into a punching bag." She looked over the damage on the Omnic. "Looks like they didn't hit any of your major circuitry. Nothing but a few replacement wires can't fix. Akira will be able to fix it once we get back." After getting the groceries and knocking out one of the guys again, they proceeded off of the streets.

Sometime had passed since the Omnic Crisis, and the Overwatch program had been shut down, since than, the world had changed; no one knows if it was for better or worse. Thought the Omnic Crisis is over, many still treat the Omnics themselves as the enemy. Those that had tried to help and protect them went through the same pain and misery as they do.

They are not the only ones that have suffered the aftermath of it however. Even when the Omnic Crisis was over, there were many casualties even now. Many of children's families had become the victim of riots, and protests, because, those that were still young, had become orphans. This was the fate of one girl in particular; Antonia, though friends know her as Toni.

Toni and Roger approached a old abandoned house, covered with vines and such. She helped Roger inside the house, through the basement door. As soon as she entered, the first thing they heard was the radio on, and someone typing away on the computer. There was a young teenage boy, around the same age as her sat on an old lounge chair, typing something on his computer. He had brown disheveled hair and a pair of blue eyes. He wore a grey short sleeved shirt over a long sleeved black shirt with a pair of ripped style jeans with black sneakers.

He had noticed that they had come in, when Toni slammed the door shut. "Oh hey, welcome back." He said, not bothering to pick up his head.

"Hey Akira." Toni said, "Listen, we got anymore of those spare wires?"

The boy named Akira wondered at first why she would ask that, until he finally picked up his head and saw Rogers condition. "Again with this?" Akira asked, setting aside his computer to retrieve a box of spare wires, "What did he do this time?"

Toni replied, "Roger here thought it would be a good idea to steal money from the local gang."

"Yeah?" Akira said, "How did that work out for you?"

All Roger did was shrug in reply. "That's what I thought." He said, "You're just lucky that Jackie isn't awake to see you like this, otherwise she would've thrown a fit. Toni, help him to the couch."

Toni did this just that, and helped Roger to sit down; Toni sat next to him as Akira went to work on what had gotten the most damage; His legs. Toni picked up the remote and turned on the television as she placed her feet on the coffee table. The first thing that was seen was the news.

"... The suspects remain at large. In other news, spiritual leader, Tekhatha Mondatta, has announced that he will be giving a live speech at the Kings Row tomorrow. Though many are worried that he maybe another target for the terrorist group Talon, local authorities say…"

"Kings Row, eh?" Akira said just finishing up Roger's leg, "That's a bit convenient for us don't you think?"

"It might not be if you didn't managed to fix up our truck." Toni said, as she started to flip through the channels.

"Oh contraire mon cher." Akira said with a confident smile, "I managed to fix her up while you were gone."

"Really?"

"Of course. Who do you take me for an amateur?"

"Yes. Very much so."

Akira let out a fake pained gasp as he placed his hand over his chest, "Ow, right in my kokoro." He said being over dramatic.

"And you sure it'll be able hover over the water and not let us sink like the last time?" Toni asked him settling on one channel.

"I tested it out, and everything, and I'm 100% positive that we won't sink this time."

"You said that last time, and it wasn't true."

"I know, I know, but come morning and you'll see. It'll work this time, for sure."

Toni couldn't help but roll her eyes. Akira reminded her of her older sister Kayla. She was always so confident in whatever she was working on; it just always made her smile to see her that way. Though now a days, she had forgotten how. Thirteen years ago Antonia lost her parents in a riot, and though her sister Kayla was only fifteen, she took it upon herself to take care of her, like their mother and father would. She didn't know how, but Kayla did just that, she raised her as if she was her own daughter. She didn't let anything stand in her way, and that was something that made Toni look up to her.


-7 Years Ago January 30; Los Angeles, Ocean View Apartments-

Twenty one year old Kayla had returned home after another long day at work. It was late at night and she couldn't wait for a good night's rest. Though that wasn't the only thing she was excited about. As always she was excited to see her little sister; She was the one thing that would keep her going everyday at work. Since her parents, she was the only family that she had left in the world. She did everything she could for her to make her happy, though it was all worth it in the end. She was lucky that her job as a scientist was able to paid well. At least where she worked.

She entered the Ocean View Apartments and went to the fourth floor to apartment complex 4721. After punching in a six digit code she entered the large apartment.

"Antonia!" She said shutting the door behind her, "Antonia I'm home!"

She didn't hear her respond at first; she figured that she was sound asleep. Though she wouldn't be surprised if she was considering how late it was.

Though as she placed her bag on the table, she had heard giggling that had immediately went quiet when she turned in the direction of the small giggles. Kayla soon spotted a small but familiar figure that had peeked from behind the couch, though quickly hid itself. She smiled and said out of fake concern, "Where did she go? I just don't know! Did she disappear? Is she in her room? Is she invisible?"

As she pretended to look for her, she slowly made her way to the couch unbeknownst to the small figure that hid there.

"I just have no idea…" She said, leaning against the couch. Than swiftly, she grabbed the small figure, causing the little one to squeal; It had turned out it was her younger sister, Antonia.

"Got you now you little rascal!" Kayla said as she started to tickle her.

"Okay, okay, I surrender!" Toni said through her laughter, "Stop it sissy, stop!"

After a little more tickling, Kayla stopped and Toni caught her breath; She sat down next to her sister on the couch. "You don't play fair sissy." Toni said, after recovering from her tickle attack. All Kayla did was give an innocent look to her younger sister, "Why would you think that?"

Toni playfully punched her sister's arm, and Kayla gave her a noggy. "Very funny sissy." Toni said to her with a smile. Kayla chuckled before asking, "So tell, how was your day at school today?" She noticed that Toni had gone silent and looked nervous, as she twiddled her thumbs. Of course, Kayla knew what this meant. She sighed, "What did you do this time?"

Toni replied, not making eye contact, "I… Punched, that bully Tyler."

"Punched him?" Kayla said astonished.

"He made me mad… I couldn't help it." Toni said.

Kayla pinched the bridge of her nose, and shook her head, "Antonia… You know better than this, you can't let words like that get to you. I know he said something mean, but it's payback like that never solves anything."

"But he made me mad."

"I know. But you can't just hurt people out of anger. If you resort to that kind of violence your no better than the bullies that call you names. Promise me if something like that happens again, you won't do it, alright?"

Toni looked up and saw the look on her face; It was look of worry mixed with a sternness. Knowing exactly what that meant, Toni nodded her head and said, "Okay sissy. I won't do it again." Kayla gave out a satisfied smile, and kissed her on her head. "Come on it's late." Kayla said, picking her up off the couch and carrying her to her room, "Let's get you to bed."

"What about you?" Toni asked, "Are you gonna go to sleep?"

"I will." Kayla replied, "I just got to finish up a few things from work."

"Than I'll-"

"Don't say you'll stay up with me. The last thing we need for you is to fall asleep in class."

"But I don't wanna go to school tomorrow."

"Don't be like that young lady. School is important you know that."

Kayla had soon gotten to her little sisters room, and set her down on her bed. She pulled the covers over her small body and handed her sister her favorite little rabbit.

"Sissy?" She heard Toni say.

"Hm, what is it?" Kayla asked.

"It's just that… Tomorrow… It's mom and dads…"

"I know. Tomorrow, we'll visit their grave together. After school alright?"

"Okay."

"Good night Antonia, see you in the morning." With that, Kayla gave her a goodnight kiss, and left the room, turning off the light and closing the door. Toni while hugging her favorite little rabbit, she had drifted off into her dreamland.


-Present; Next Morning-

Toni, Akira and Roger had gotten up early in the morning to fill up the truck, with everything that they needed. "Alright, I think we got everything we needed for Kings Row." Akira said, "As long as we don't run into any complications we should be fine."

Toni looked around, and gave a quizzical look. "Aren't we missing somebody?" Toni asked.

Akira and Roger looked around and saw they were short on a person. "Jackie…" Toni and Akira said.

"Terrific, you know, she promises us she wouldn't sleep in, and she just sleeps in." Akira groaned in annoyance. Roger was about to head back in the old house, that is until, Toni stopped him. "Leave Jackie to me Rodge. You just double check to make sure that we have everything."

Roger nodded his head and went to do just that as Toni headed back inside. She headed to a room down the hall, and entered it. She approached a fifteen year old girl with short blonde hair and wearing a aqua green short sleeved shirt with a purple over black short leggings, slept peacefully. "Jackie?" Toni said, "Jackie wake up. If you don't wake up, you won't be going to England, and that's a promise."

The only response she had gotten out of Jackie was her just rolling over on her stomach. Toni let out a sigh, and went next to the bed. "Just so you know you made me do this." Toni said. She soon went to the necklace with a familiar logo around her neck and with just one click it lit up. She threw her fist down on the mattress and the girl named Jackie suddenly found herself floating as she awoke; other stuff that was around the bed floated off the ground as well.

"GAH! OKAY! OKAY! I'M UP! I'M UP!" Jackie exclaimed as she as Toni pressed the logo again letting the light turn off. The minute that happened everything fell back onto the floor and Jackie landed on the mattress.

"Hey, I didn't want to do it, but I had to wake you up somehow." Toni said innocently.

"Yeah, but did you have to do that?" Jackie asked, fixing up her hair.

"It was either that, or I dumped a bucket of ice water on you."

"Again, did you have to do THAT?"

"Just look at your clock dum dum."

Jackie looked at her digital alarm clock; when she realized the time, she fell out of bed as she let out a scream. "HOLY CRAP! IS IT THAT TIME ALREADY!?" Jackie exclaimed, grabbing her duffle bag and did last minute packing.

"Yeah, we were just about to leave without you, since you decided to sleep in." Toni said, leaning against the door frame, "We told you once, we told you a thousand times, that today would be the day when we were leaving for England."

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, I'm sorry!" Jackie said, "I was out playing card games with a couple of friends of mine, and got in late! Completely spaced out!"

Jackie made sure she got everything; when she was satisfied she got on her black knitted hat with ears. "We are going go see Mondatta when we get there right?" Jackie asked excitedly.

Toni couldn't help but groan, "I was hoping you wouldn't hear about that… Jackie…Look, I know he's an important guy in all, loved by all people and Omnic alike, but… We just won't have the time to go to one of his speeches."

Jackie pouted, "Do you realize how long Roger and I have waited to see him in person?"

"Umm I think it was-"

"Our whole lives! And who knows when he'll appear to the public again!"

"We have more important things to do then go to see some guys speech."

"Please big sissy Toni! Pretty please with a cherry and some whipped cream on top?" Toni was about to say something, but saw that Jackie was giving the puppy eye dog look. "No, no, not the face, don't do the face."

She than started to pout.

"No, not the pout too!" Toni said shielding her eyes.

She than started to whimper like a little kitten. Toni immediately turned around, "Nope! Nope! Jackie, it's not gonna work this time!" Jackie continued to whimper, basically just hanging to Toni's waist, "I am serious! I am not falling for it again so stop!" Toni made the mistake and turned to look at Jackie; she could've sworn that her eyes had gotten bigger, like they were in an anime or something. Toni let out an annoyed groan and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Okay look, only- ONLY because your gonna nag me about it later…" Toni said through gritted teeth, "You and Roger can go." Jackie cheered and jumped up and down in excitement; she than hugged Toni which she was caught by surprise, "THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! YOU'RE THE BEST!" Jackie than practically skipped down the hall calling out to Roger to tell him the good news. Toni recovered from the shock just now, "Ugh… Why do I always do this?" Toni said to herself before heading outside of the house and onto the truck.

With everyone and everyone on the truck, they drove straight to the beach; Roger being the one driving. Akira was typing away on his computer and had gotten something; "Alright… I've pinpointed one of the science facilities in Kings Row. Does this one look familiar to you?"

He handed off the computer over to Toni; She looked over the pictures and the info on the science facility that was now abandoned according to reports. Though she did recognize at first glance. "Oh yeah. It's familiar to me alright."

"So your sister did work there?"

"Only in the summers, whenever they needed her. I only went to the facility with her a couple of times."

Jackie leaned over in the front seat of the pick up truck, "How can you be so sure that what your looking for is there?"

"If the data wasn't in Los Angeles, where she originally worked at, they're bound to move it to there second location. This location." Toni said to Jackie, "If it's not here…"

Akira patted her shoulder comfort, "We'll find it Toni. Don't worry. You've got us with you after all. Let's just hope this place is really abandoned like the reports say, and if the computers are working."

"That's kind of big if, don't you think?" Jackie said, before drawing her attention to Roger when he had tapped her shoulder, "Oh hey we're here at the beach." Toni and Akira leaned forward in their seats and saw that they had arrived, though they saw a few people there when they did. "Guess some people are early birds." Toni said.

"Now would be a perfect time to test the cloaking." Akira said, "Jackie, do me a favor and pull that black knob near you."

"Okay." Jackie said. She found the black knob just above the glove compartment and pulled it back a few inches. They all felt the engine hummed; though on the outside of the car,many didn't notice that a silver truck had just vanished completely.

"Well, I'm impressed, it works." Toni said sitting back in her seat.

"I'll just take that as a compliment." Akira said, "Now lets see if thing floats."

Roger drove the truck to the water, and they all felt the ground feel different despite them being in a vehicle. They saw they were only a few feet off shore and were now floating above the water.

Jackie cheered, "HOORAY! WE'RE NOT SINKING!" She said jumping from her seat.

"Told it would sink this time." Akira said leaning back in his seat.

"How till we get to the nearest beach in England?" Toni asked.

"Since there really no such thing as speed limit and traffic jams when driving in the ocean, I reckon we'll arrive there say… By sundown."

"Awesome!" Jackie said excitedly, "Can you believe it Roger? We're gonna see Mondatta live in person!"

Roger nodded to Jackie, excited as she was. "You told them they could go?" Akira asked Toni.

"Shut up, she was giving me puppy dog eyes." Toni said as she opened the window, "If you need me, I'll be at the back of the pick up truck taking a nap." Toni climbed out of the car and onto trunk just as the cloaking was shut off. Using some of the luggage as a pillow she leaned back and looked up at the sky. As she looked up at the sky she played with her necklace, gave out a nostalgic sigh.

She missed her; she missed her sister. It was at the age of thirteen when things took a turn for the worse for her. It was because of that incident, she had decided to find answers to why it happened the way it did. The key to finding those answers was only through the science facilities that her sister worked in. They didn't find anything in the Los Angeles Facility, and were almost caught by local security and police, so they had to go into hiding; away from Los Angeles entirely.

They had only recently found out, that the data they were looking for had been moved on the day they broke into the Los Angeles Facility.

She had hoped she would find the answers she was looking for; to why there's just one large gap in her memory, and to why she even has powers in the first place. Eventually Toni fell asleep while still having her eyes to the sky.


-7 Years Ago; February 10th-

Antonia… Wake up… Please…

Toni let out a groan and rubbed her eyes with her right hand, finding herself in a room painted white-Wait, room painted white? That didn't make sense to her. Her room was painted with the colors blue and yellow. She sat up and found herself wearing a short white shirt with long baggy grey pants, instead of her usual red pjs. She looked at the room with confusion and wondering to why she was in this strange room exactly. Though it wasn't long till she realized she wasn't alone in the strange room. She turned and saw beside her was a woman with familiar shoulder length raven hair; her face was buried in her arms, but Toni recognized who the lady was.

"Sissy?" Toni said, about to poke her when she had realized something; Her left arm, it was replaced with a robotic one, much to her surprise. Why in the world was her arm robotic? No answer came to mind when she thought about it; it was honestly strange. She wondered what else was different; That was when she realized her leg felt slightly heavy. She lifted the sheets, and saw that her leg was replaced with a robotic one too. "... Why is it…?"

Kayla had finally picked, revealing her tired green eyes; She was taken by surprise when she threw her arms around her.

"Thank God!" She said with her voice cracking a bit, "I'm so glad your okay!"

"Sissy…?" Toni said, looking at her now robotic hand again, "Wha… What happened to me?"

Kayla broke out of the hug and just looked at her; Toni was confused as to why she had a shocked expression on her face. "Wha… What's wrong?" Toni asked worriedly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

That's when Kayla gently took her shoulders, "Antonia…" She said softly, "What's the last thing you remember?" Toni found it strange for her sister to ask a question like that; though she wanted ask a question with a question she had answered her sister anyway.

"... Last night, you came home from work like you usually do." She said, "I told you that I punched Tyler. Than you put me to bed."

She noticed that Kayla had gasped, placing a hand over her mouth when she heard those words come out of her sister's mouth.

"Sissy…" Toni said, "You're scaring me… What's wrong?"

"Toni…" Kayla said to her honestly, "That discussion we had… That was… 12 days agoYou were in an accident, and because of it, you lost your arm and leg; You almost died."

Toni's eyes widened in shock at that. Twelve days!? She was asleep for twelve days!? That couldn't have been right! She would've known if she was asleep for that long! So how could it be!? Toni held her head, like it was gonna roll off any second; she had started to breath rapidly. Knowing very well it was a panic attack, Kayla immediately pulled her sister close and held her, to calm her sister down. Eventually Toni's breathing slowed, though she still felt afraid.

"There, there." Kayla said, "It's alright… I know it's a lot to take in but it'll be fine… I promise…"

Toni seemed to have blocked out what her sister was telling her, as she looked to her robotic limbs once more; her whole body trembled.

"How…" She said to herself aloud, her sister hearing her, "How did this happen…?"
