1. Genji Awakens

Hello! This is my first fanfic, I hope you enjoy, sorry for any mistakes, please inform me in the comments.

The steel that covers my skin is cold, but inside, I am not. My name is genji, and I was recently killed. Death, however, was not the end for me, though it still hurt. A lot. Normally, one would expect me to be gone, like my brother has. When I died, I was saved by an angel, but what saved me turned me into a monstrosity that scarred what I once thought was my family's glorious legacy. My disfigured face has been hidden behind a mask, and my shame cannot be seen except for the pain in my eyes. Nobody would look anyway. The heroes that surrounded me glowed with the pride of many lives saved, and many battles won. Maybe someday my deeds will equal theirs.

The cyborg slowly rose from the mat. Something was off. With great efficiency and a silent hand, genji slowly grasped the cold steel of his blades in his metallic arms. Quietly, he rushed into his master's room. Zenyatta was missing. He quickly left. Zenyatta had a strict schedule, and rarely strayed from that path. Irregularities were rare in a temple of omnic monks. After he stopped traveling, he had returned to Shambali in Nepal, and returned to his previous state. With a start, Genji remembered that Zenyatta had mentioned that all of the omnics including him were planning to travel to the top of the nearby mountains at sunrise in an attempt to experience human wonder. As he prepared to follow in the footsteps of the omnics, his sensors picked up energy discharges. As he moved quickly to the source, he realized that they matched Zenyatta's Orb Volley and Orb of Harmony. Genji grabbed his weapons, his circuits hummed as his legs began to run with explosive speed as he jumped into the air, and launched himself a second time over a building, leaping off of thin air. As he hurtled a third dwelling, his foot hit the ground and dashed to the source of the sounds.

Thanks for reading guys, and I hope you enjoyed. Sorry for any mistakes I have made, this is my first fanfiction.
