This is the first fanfiction I've written in english and also the first one here on this site. My native language is german, so please be kind and let me know if you find any mistakes.

Have fun and enjoy!


For Hana Song it was way too cold outside as she stepped over the doorstep of her mansion in Busan. Even though she hated the chilly feeling on her body, the house chores wouldn't be done by anyone else, since she was living alone. And so she walked through the snow in her front yard to dispose the trash, that she accumulated over the last week. Mostly consisting of Dorito bags and MountainDew cans. As fast as she could, she slipped back into her house and curled herself up in a comforting layer of blankets.

While she waited to warm up again, Hana had herself placed on the couch in the room, which she referred to as the 'gaming lair'. She had placed her laptop on the couch as well and was working on setting up her stream. Today she planned to play some fun games with her best friend. The chat was already running wild, since the stream was announced to start fifteen minutes ago. In that regard Hana, better known as the former three times StarCraft-Champion DVa, was unwilling to bow to the wishes of anyone. Everyone, who watched her stream on a regular basis, knew that she almost never started her streams on time.

But after setting up her face-cam, DVa pressed the button in her streaming software.

"Hello gamers and soon-to-be gamers! It's time for another 'DVa's Freaky Friday'! The day were everything is possible and nothing is permitted!", she greeted her followers. Even though she was best known for her excellent StarCraft skills, her 'Freaky Friday' was the second most popular show on her channel. Only to be topped by the livestreams of her fighting the omnics.

"Coming to my today's guest I should give you some background knowledge, since he's new to my 'Freaky Friday'. He goes by the gamer-name Ribbit and is one of my best friends. They hello to my stream, Ribbit!", she said.

"Hello out there!", he greeted as he was commanded. DVa chuckled a bit at his shaky greeting, because she knew that the guy behind this name Ribbit was no other than the legendary Lucio himself. And for her it was amusing to hear him nervously speaking in her stream.

Both of them met for the first time on a media convention two years ago. Hana didn't like to think back to this first meeting. She had just played five maps of StarCraft against one of her longtime rivals on the main stage. On the way to her dressing room she accidently bumped into him, while listing to his music to calm down after her match. At first she rudely requested an apology of him. But after she recognized the person before her as Lucio, she immediately switched from DVa-Mode to FanGirl-Mode. Hana never asked and never understood why Lucio didn't just run away that day, but after that incident they started to become close friends. For Hana it was actually the only real life friend she had left. Since her early ages she wasn't a girl to make friends quickly, but after her rise to the top in StarCraft, she lost most of her friends due to having no time to meet anyone of them.

Lucio on the other Hand was that guy to understand her in that regard. Always travelling around the world or defending the innocent. They usually only met in person three or four times a year at some conventions, to which they have been invited. Being a friend of DVa wasn't without repercussions on Lucio though. Before he got famous he didn't have much money to buy a gaming pc nor was he actually interested in it. But with DVa in his life, things changed.

And so they were here at this evening gaming together and simply having fun. Hana loved those Fridays simply because there was no pressure in it. She didn't have to win, there were no lives on the line and everyone just had a lot of fun. And having Lucio on the stream was a pretty awesome bonus on top.

"Okay. What do we gonna play today, Hana?", Lucio asked.

"First of, while on stream you call me DVa.", she corrected him with a played commanding tone. She glanced over to the chat, where the question of 'Who is this Ribbit-Guy and why does he call her Hana?' popped up. It instantly became the hottest topic. That's why she instructed Lucio not to call her by her real-name.

She sighed at that problem, but decided to ignore it.

"And now, to answer your question: We gonna play retro games this evening. The first one is my second most loved strategy game, which I used to play when I was little.", she explained, but was interrupted.

"Well, you probably didn't grow that much since then.", Lucio jokingly pointed out.

"Very funny, Mister 'I'm only 1,6 meters small!'", she countered.

"Oh, now you got me!", he said laughing. "So, which game is it?"

"'Age of Empires 2' as you should know. We talked about it so many times now und you promised me, to play it with me", Hana said with her cutest begging voice. And she immediately regretted it. Her chat was exploding with questions about Ribbit and her relationship with him, since she never talked like that on stream with anybody else before. She left the discussion, whether Ribbit was her boyfriend or not, to her moderators for now. They would handle that, since they were PR-professionals paid by DVa's management to oversee her social media channels and to keep badmouthing and trolls at bay. Maybe Hana would never admit it, but she heavily relied on them. To her fans she was that tough pro-gamer, but on the inside she couldn't handle critics on her person very well.

One of her moderators once told her, that streamers where the absolute PR-nightmare sometimes, because of their habit to burst out things, they don't think about before. And right at this moment, she understood what he meant with that.


The next two hours where a total bliss for Hana. After some time, the chat had calmed down and had started to enjoy the show. Hana was discussing with Lucio which game to play next, as an explosion outside of her house gripped Hana back into reality.

"What was that? Was that an explosion? Are you alright, Hana?", Lucio quickly asked.

"Yeah, everything is alright.", she answered, while she peeled herself out of her blanket cocoon. She walked over the window and saw a fire in the city of Busan.

"There was an explosion in the city.", she commented what she saw. Right at this moment her smartphone rang. Before she answered the phone, Hana quickly announced in her stream that she had to force a commercial break for now.

"Hello, this is Hana Song.", she said after answering the call.

"Hello, Lieutenant Song. This is Commander Gang.", he said.

"Good evening, Commander", she greeted her military supervisor at MEKA. He was in charge of Hana's MEKA-Group and when he called her, it had to be serious. "I suspect, that the explosion I just heard here in Busan is somehow related to the Omnics?"

That was a safe assumption, since MEKA only dealt with the omnic crisis. Everything else was handled by the law enforcement.

"You suspect wrong, lieutenant.", Commander Gang said. "It seems to be a terrorist attack. The target was an army general. He escaped the attack somehow, but his bodyguard didn't have the same luck. The general is now on the run, but is chased by some heavily equipped mercenaries. The police have problems securing the target, therefore MEKA was called in to help."

"I did not enlist to the MEKA program to fight humans.", Hana quickly answered.

"I do not care, why you came to the Army, but this is an order. So get your ass in your suit, the transporter will pick you up. ETA in five minutes." He said and ended the call.

"Asshole.", Hana said.

She did as she was ordered. After putting on her combat suit, she quickly put on her headset and stopped the commercial on her stream.

"Sorry guys, but I need to leave for today. I hope you enjoyed the show. Give a shout out to my friend Ribbit!", she said in the stream, quickly ending it. "Sorry Lucio, but I gotta go. There is a terrorist attack in my city and I was called in to help."

"Understood.", Lucio said. "I'll see if I can get you guys some backup! Be careful Hana!"

Hana was wondering what he meant by getting her some backup, but she had no time to ask, since she heard her transporter landing in her back yard.

"I play to win!", she answered Lucio with one of her catchphrases.

"I know!", he said with a sad voice.
