It was a cold and rainy October day when Colonal Jack Morrison was finally put at peace. Surrounded by friends he considered family, he passed away peacfully in an infirmary bed at Overwatch's HQ in Watchpoint Gebralter from a mortal head injury. Leader of Overwatch, hero of the Omnic Crisis, dear friend, and more were said about him at his funeral. Millions watched while the Soldier 76 was lowered to the ground under an enormous statue of his logo. Or, at least thats hiw the story goes.
Winston snorted as he shoved another banana down his monkey throat. He pleaded with with the United Narions' council to allow his friend some peace, but to no avail. His body was really 10 stories below the surface of fort knox, to be thawed when the government deamed it necessary. The thought of his leader and friend frozen in ice after so much sacrifice made his blood boil.
This also left Overwatch with a serious problem. Soldier 76 was a beacon of hope to oppressed people well after the forced dismantlment of Overwatch. And after the destruction of TALON, and Overwatch's reinstatment, he continued to fight terrorist cells across the world. in addition to try and track down The Reaper, who managed to escape the law's grasp. Now, overwatch was left with no leader. Sure, Ana could lead the team, but they lost their symbol. Their hero.
Winston blinked back tears as the burp of the radio jerked him back to reality.
