This is my first Overwatch Story, I really hope I do these characters justice because I have been so obsessed with the game and characters of late.
Emily would be home from work in one hour, plenty of time for Lena to get everything ready. With her chronal accelerator strapped around her chest Lena zipped all across the kitchen preparing a romantic meal for the two of them to share, a meal that consisted of roast chicken, steamed broccoli and a small garden salad.
Usually Lena wouldn't be so frantic about having dinner ready by the time her love got home, but today was no ordinary day. Lena and Emily had been dating for many years, now Lena was ready to take the next step. With no mission's currently needing her attention at Overwatch Lena had spent the past couple days looking at rings making sure she picked the best one of the bunch. She finally settled on a shiny gold ring with a twenty karat diamond, the perfect ring for her perfect lady. It ate up all of her last three paychecks, but it was worth it to see the look on Emily's face when she finally popped the question.
With the chicken in the oven Lena placed two red candles on the table and lit them before turning her attention looking through her album collection for the perfect music to play when Emily arrived.
"Lucio? Nah, I love him, he's my bud but he doesn't do romantic music. Hassolhoff? Reinhardt has really gotten me into him but he's a little to hard core for a night like tonight." After looking through her album collection twice she finally settled on a old boy band known as "Boys to men" They where extremely old school and was around before any of the Overwatch team was born, even Reinhardt, but they were perfect. Putting on the album, all Lena needed to do now was wait for her love to come home.
With thirty minutes to spare Lena turned on her laptop and started typing out a letter to her closest friend in Overwatch, and the guy responsible for calling them back to action Winston.
Winston was more then just a friend to Lena, he was the one that basically saved her life. Before Overwatch Lena was a pilot, one of the best on all of London. She was selected to test fly a new jet for Overwatch called the Slipstream. A prototype of a teleporting fighter jet. During the test flight. The teleportation matrix malfunctioned and the entire jet along with Lena had disappeared, and she was presumed dead. She later appeared having been desynchronized from the flow of time, keeping her from keeping a physical form in the present. That was until Winston, a super intelligent gorilla scientist, created the chronal accelerator that she wears around her waist, giving her control over her own time. Winston said she didn't have to wear the chronal accelerator on her at all time, but she had to keep it near her other wise she could disappear again.
When Overwatch was recalled Lena was one of the first to answer, feeling she owed Winston for saving her life, which is why it made this next part one of the hardest decisions of her life.
Bringing up Winston's email address, Lena started typing out her resignation. Overwatch had been her family for many years, all of her closest friends where members of Overwatch, but with her about to get married, she just believed that she couldn't continue to put her life on the line with someone waiting for her back home.
Dear Winston,
You have been one of my closest and dearest friends, your the whole reason I am able to stay in control of my own time. You were there for me during my time of need, and it's been a honor fighting by your side.
But I feel it is approaching my time with Overwatch to come to a end. I am about to start a new life with the woman I love the most, and I feel I need to be closer to her, and not fear for my life every time I leave the apartment.
I will be always be thankful for everything you did for me and will miss you greatly.
Your friend
Lena.
Lena was about to click send when she paused. She stared to her right where a framed photo of Lena and Winston set on her desk. She picked it up and a tearful smile came across her face as she chuckled at the photo of Lena giving Winston the bunny ears as the two of them took a selfie. Could she really do this? Could she leave her bests friends she ever knew?
Finding herself unable to press the send button she closed her laptop,
"Now's not the time."
When Emily got home at eight, the floor in their apartment was decorated in rose petals and Lena was wearing only a robe when she blinked up to greet her.
"Hey love!"
"Hey," Emily was surprised to see the floor decorated in petals, the music playing, and the apartment only lit in with candle light. "What's going on here."
"Oh nothing," Lena chuckled, trying hard not to give away the news yet. Lena's attention was caught by the sound of the oven bell going off. "Oh, chickens ready!" Lena blinked off to the kitchen, only leaving Lena even more curios.
"Okay, what's the occasion." Emily's eyes suddenly shot up in fear "Is it your, birthday? Our anniversary? Oh my gosh, I need to get to the store and get a gift!"
Lena just burst out laughing at the sight of her soon to be fiancee freaking out. "No, your fine, it's neither." Lena fixed both of them a plate and offered one to Emily "Come, sit down." Emily did as Lena offered but she was still extremely curious as to why Lena did so much tonight.
"Okay seriously though, what's with all the petals, candle light, and music?"
"Why must you think there has to be a reason?" Lena asked as she took a bite of chicken. "Oops forget to get the wine. Be right back." Lena blinked away to the whine cooler and came back with a bottle of red wine. She grabbed a couple of wine glasses and poured the both of them a bottle.
"Come on Lena, we've been dating for years, I know for a fact that you only go through so much trouble putting together something like this when something special is about to happen. What is it? Come on, tell me."
Lena just chuckled. "You never was one that handled suspense well."
"Which is why you are the one doing all the suspenseful stuff while I do the boring desk job. Come on now, don't keep a girl waiting now, you know how I hate begging."
"I know," Lena chuckled, going back to her dinner. "It's bad enough during Christmas time, I can hardly come back from the store without you trying to peak into what I have in the bag hoping it's a gift for you."
"Now don't act like you don't do the same thing now."
"Yeah but I do that on Christmas Eve when you do your last minute shopping. You start doing it the first of December."
"And the month leading up to my Birthday." Emily added. She then leaned over the table, giving Lena her lustful begging eyes, and spoke in her sexiest voice knowing that she wouldn't be able to resist. "So what about it Tracer." Lena nervously gulped down her last sip of whine as Emily dropped her code name on her. She only did that when she was trying to get Lena to spill the beans cause Emily knew she couldn't resist being called that. "What's the occasion? Come on, please tell me."
Emily could tell Lena was starting to sweat, she had her. "Well?"
Finishing up her last few bites on her plate Lena grabbed her plate and blinked over to the sink then back to Emily in just over a second.
"You got me Emily." Lena pulled a small black box out of her pocket, Emily eye's widened with realization, finally understanding what was going on. "I was hoping to wait till we were both done with dinner but you are a snoopy little girl. One of the many traits I love about you."
Lena then got down on one knee and opened the box, showing Emily the brightest and most beautiful ring she had ever seen "Emily, will you marry me?"
Emily's mouth hung open for a second, unable to scream. Finally she let out a loud scream as she jumped out of her chair and into Lena's arms, giving her the biggest kiss she had ever given her. "YES!"
Emily pulled Lena to the kitchen floor, and the two made out there right next to the chair Emily was just a minute ago sitting on.
"Don't you want to finish your dinner?" Lena asked teasingly as she returned a kiss to Emily's lip.
"I think what I'm tasting here is much more delicious." Emily responded returning Lena's kiss.
"Is that I insult to my cooking?"
Emily just laughed as the two made out there on the kitchen floor.
Ten minutes later the party had been moved to their bed. Lena had removed her robe and was laying on top of Emily topless and only in her panties, her Chronal accelerator resting on the desk beside the two of them. Emily was similarly only in her panties as Lena planted a kiss on Emily's lip before moving down to her jawline before making it's way to Emily's neck. Lena began sucking on Emily's neck, biting down on it resulting in a small bruise appearing.
"It's a good thing you have off tomorrow." Lena laughed, her hand had made it's way to Emily's underwear, and she was busy stroking her fingers up and down in a fast circular motion causing Emily to let out a small moan.
"Nothing a little makeup wouldn't help." Emily then grabbed Lena by the shoulders and flipped her over to where Emily was on top of her this time, "My turn."
Lena didn't know what time she fell asleep. All she knew was that when she woke up the sky was dark and a fool moon shone through their bedroom window. Lena turned to her side and saw Emily fast asleep next to her, snoozing like a angel. Lena let out a tired smile and bent over and gave her one last smooch on the cheek.
Making sure to be quite enough to not make a sound, Lena got up, put back on her robe and chronal accelerator, then sneaked away to her computer and pulled back up the email that she failed to send Winston. Torn again what she had to do she looked once more at the picture she had on her desk then back to Lena who was still fast asleep.
"It has to be Overwatch or Emily it can't be both." Lena convinced herself "You can't continue to go out there as long as Emily is at home worrying about you." Lena turned to face Emily one more time, and saw how the moonlight shined against her face, making Emily truly look like a angel. Her mind made up Lena let out a tearful sigh as she turned back to her laptop and pressed enter. Sending her letter out to Winston, before closing her eyes and sighing as a tear streamed down her face.
"Sorry Winston."
Don't worry there will be some fun action and battle sequences later.
And Sorry Widowtracer fans but I prefer sticking with the lore when it comes to relationships. While I wont tell you who you can and cannot ship, Widowtracer is one ship I just can't get behind or understand. I mean, those two are enemies on different sides for heaven sake. And Tracer already has Emily, and they are to cute together.
You are still free to read and enjoy this story even if you are a Widowtracer fan. Just please don't attack me for not getting behind your ship.
