A/N: Welcome to my first fanfiction! The idea of this is based off of a storyline from another franchise I love, the Transformers. This is based off of the Shattered Glass storyline, in which the good guys are evil and the bad guys are good. I'd always loved the idea of the good guys gone bad, so I thought, why not bring it into my favorite game, Overwatch? But the real story won't be up just yet. First, I'll introduce the characters and their history. Chapter 1 will be focused on Jack Morrison (Soldier: 76) and Gabriel Reyes (Reaper). I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Overwatch (obviously). Overwatch is owned by Blizzard and any affiliated companies.


Chapter 1

Soldier: 76/Reaper

Jack Morrison was the Strike-Commander of Overwatch. Once Morrison hit the age of eighteen, he joined the military. He intended to briefly serve in the armed forces, but his courage caught the eye of the military brass. Before long, he earned a position in the Soldier Enhancement Program. Through this program, Morrison met Gabriel Reyes and the two became fast friends. The program granted the two men with superhuman strength, speed and agility.

Morrison, Reyes and their fellow soldiers put their skills to the test during the Omnic Crisis. As governments failed to push back the Omnic threat, the United Nations were forming a task force known as Overwatch. The original group brought together some of the greatest from around the world to wage war against the Omnics. Morrison and Reyes were recruited into the group along with Reinhardt Wilhelm, Ana Amari and Torbjörn Lindholm. Reyes was given command of the group, but Morrison had a greater impact overall. In unity, the group would end the Omnic Crisis and defeat the Omnics.

After the recruitment of Jesse McCree, Dr. Angela Ziegler and Mei-Ling Zhou, the UN rewarded Morrison for his contributions by making him the commander of Overwatch. Reyes was passed over by this and instead given command of Blackwatch, the covert ops division of Overwatch. This formed a rift between the two men that led to a tragic consequence for one of them. After the Omnic Crisis, Overwatch gained a rise in prominence. The team was celebrated as heroes, but none more so than Morrison. He became the face of Overwatch and a symbol of hope and justice across the world.

Reyes, who was harboring anger towards Morrison, secretly formed a revolution against Morrison with the other agents, who were all tired of him getting all the spotlight. This made Reyes a favorite throughout the agents, but to none more so than Angela Ziegler, in which the two fell in love. Reyes and Morrison were both later stationed on Watchpoint: Gibraltar.

Years later, Reyes' plan was complete. He attacked Morrison and the two's fight led to the HQ being destroyed in an explosion, killing both men. After the explosion, Dr. Ziegler attempted to use a device which untilized nanotechnology to revive Reyes. But not all was foolproof. Morrison, who was on the brink of death, destroyed the device, hoping to make sure Reyes stayed dead. Morrison was then truly killed after Ziegler shot him through the heart.

Reyes was still revived, but was left disfigured. He became a wraith like entity, due to the machine causing his cells to decay and regenerate at a hyper-accelerated rate. Reyes took on the alias 'Reaper' and took command of Overwatch. With Reyes' terrorizing rule, the organization known as Talon was created to bring him and Overwatch down.

Reyes had multiple assassination attempts against him, most being total failures until Talon agents Genji Shimada, Hanzo Shimada, Lena Oxton, Amélie Lacroix and Jason Stevens (A/N: My OC. You'll learn about him later.) attempted to murder Reyes and end Overwatch's tyranny.

While they failed to kill Reyes, he noticed their extreme skill and recruited them into Overwatch (after some 'changes' made by Dr. Ziegler). Now, Reyes commands Overwatch and battles Talon as the deadly and terrifying Reaper.


A/N: Well, that's the first chapter! Reviews would be appreciated, just tell me what you think and if you have any ideas for the characters, go ahead. Just a note, most characters' costumes will be based off of in-game skins. Exceptions will be said in the chapter. Reyes' suit is the Nevermore skin. Anyways, I'll see you guys in the next chapter, where we will go over Overwatch's resident mad doctor, who also happens to be Reyes' wife. Dr. Angela Ziegler, AKA Mercy.
