It was a beautiful day in Gibraltar, sun was coming out, the birds were singing, and Brits were teleporting everywhere helping soldiers and new agents with their stuff.
Well, just one Brit, but she was more than enough.
Overwatch:Recall was a thing of the past now, since it had occurred exactly a year ago.
Now, with Soldier:76 as the army chief and Winston as the whole Overwatch chief, they were growing almost exponentially.
Today was a big day for Gibraltar and for Lena, because new people were going to be added to the family. All the 400 soldiers that had arrived from all over the world were now there in the base (Which had obviously expanded to be able to keep just 400 people), to help and to save people.
Pharah had been the one who arranged everything, and the one who had recruited all those soldier by herself, one by one.
Tracer was happy to have her with them, of course, happy that everyone was back with them.
The first ones that joined back were Lucio and Mercy, their angel. They had responded almost immediately after Winston had recalled.
Some took some more time like DVa or Genji, but at the end they joined and now they were probably training or playing video games.
Torbjörn had joined the moment he heard that Reinhard was joining too.
Zarya joined after Tracer, Winston and some soldiers that they had managed to get, helped her in an omnic attack in Russia.
Pharah joined weeks after the Russian mission, after she heard the rumors of Overwatch returning, feeling the need of helping Overwatch since that would've been her mother's wish.
The last one that joined was a mysterious, yet not so unknown Soldier:76, or more like Dad76 as some of the childish agents like McGree (Who had joined right before Soldier:76 on a random day) or Lena called him whenever he got mad at them.
Now, Soldier:76 was telling the soldiers that had arrived where to go, since there were dormitories for heroes and for soldiers. They all had the same privilege, but he wanted to make things clear. And also keep them safe from people like Lena Oxton.
"You and your squad can head to Dormitories from number 345 to 355, understood?" Soldier:76 asked one of the chief soldiers that lead a squad, and he nodded, yelling the classical Yes, sir! And heading towards the location.
When the soldier disappeared from his sight, he exhaled and readied himself for the next one.
"What up, love!" He heard a boop sound and then a high pitched voice who annoyed the hell out of him, "You done yet?" She asked for the third time that hour.
"No, Tracer. I'm not done yet and could you please just…" He glared at the soldiers who were amazed by Tracer's presence, "Leave. You are distracting the gentlemen" She giggled with a slight blush in her cheeks and nodded hesitantly.
"Jeez, such a poo party, love" She gave them a wink and left to help in whatever she could, as hyperactive as always.
"Kids, they never learn" He murmured and continued giving orders to the others.
Hours passed and it was already night time. Most of the soldiers had their own dormitories assigned except for the last squad, which was getting their orders from Soldier:76 at that exact moment.
"You guys are the last, you go from 390 to 400" They just nodded, exhausted just like him, making him let out a small chuckle, "Have a nice night, gentlemen, and pray for your duties not to be activated, I know you're eager to fight, but we are not risking any lives now, understood?" They nodded again and headed to their assigned place.
Soldier:76 waited for a few seconds before assuring to himself that everything went perfectly fine, and started heading back to the heroes dormitories and current base.
He was right in front of the assigned door before he heard someone calling his name. It was a high-pitched voice…
That annoying, little, British voice.
"Wait- Soldier:76! We have a situation, love!" He heard and almost felt the need to slap her right away. Everything went perfectly fine, perfectly fine.
"What?" He asked with rough voice, making her take a step back and murmur something like Woah, so spooky.
"Welp, the paper says 400 soldiers, but uh…" He then heard some loud noises from outer part of the Installations, "There are actually 404" He glared at her in confusion and anger, and then heard some other voices and what seemed to be a fire going on right outside the installations.
"What the hell is going on?" He asked for information and Lena had the urge to chuckle.
"Well, they call themselves the Pawcifisters, pun intended, mind you, and Pharah had denied their entry at first, stating that we didn't have enough room for them. But they just, uh, said that they don't mind, that they can camp around the place when it was night time…" She was getting more excited by every second, "They sound like cool people! I'm gonna go greet them!" She was about to blink away from there, but Soldier's hand stopped her, "Wha-"
"You can't go, it's dangerous. What if they're some kind of freaks? You can't just go outside at night and meet with som-" She blinked out of his sight, and he just wanted to yell, "I'm gonna kill you, Tracer!" He stormed inside the dormitories, waking up almost everybody, except for those who were still up, like DVa who was up playing video games or McGree who was at the bar with some new soldiers he met.
They were what you would call brothers, although they weren't any kind of blood-related.
They were always together, in war, and in life. It had been that way for a long, long time, since they all met, years ago, as army infants.
They were all orphans, and had gone through some shit together, which only made them stronger, and also a little crazier.
Not utterly crazy, but still.
Their brain man, John, A.K.A Johnny, was the least crazy guy of the group. He was tall, slim and blonde, although you couldn't really notice that when they were on their uniforms. He always made plans before going into a fight, or any kind of mission. He was silent, and made for infiltration. He knew basics of every single thing, and also knew some hacking stuff.
Their bomber/gunman, Logan, A.K.A Logus, was your typical black guy from the movies, he was big, bald and he carried the weapons, and also tools for camping. He was one of the craziest, yet kindest of the group (Not that the others weren't kinder enough), and he always had stories to tell to the people they would meet in their missions. He was also the chef, and he made sure everyone had a good cook when he had the chance to actually touch a kitchen.
Their doc/pilot/scavenger, Daniel, A.K.A Danny, was a small guy, he wore special, healing clothes and used special, rare healing guns, he himself was weird, maybe the weirdest, with his hair pink, and his purple eyes. The fact that he had a dog necklace didn't help his looks either, but he was kind. And he loved his friends, his brothers. He had knowledge on everything that was mobile. And he could drive almost every vehicle that was made by humans. He had his own jet, Maria, in which they stored most of their heavy armour and weapons.
The jet's location is unknown to everybody, including themselves, and will only appear to them when Danny whispered a little song their Mother from the orphanage would sing to them every night when they were little...
"Hey...someone's coming, BB" Logan informed while starting up a little fire around some tents.
"Yeah, saw her the moment she stepped outside the Overwatch installations". Said a guy who was a few meters away from them, checking out the ocean around them.
And of course, there was their leader.
Their Chief/Sniper/Warrior, Bruce, A.K.A BB, or, sometimes, when they needed to intimidate or show power, they would call him BBoss. He was your average wild guy, short, slim, but with muscle and technique. He took care of the action and organization, he also took care of dirty jobs with John, and negotiation. His wild, spiky, short black hair and dark eyes full of confidence showed he wasn't any weaker from his brothers, nor was he weaker than anyone he had ever fought.
They trust him, he is their balance. He is their body and instincts, and he's the heart of the group. He takes care of the one on one fights mercenaries always ask for and wields a sword on his back that he only uses when necessary. He uses guns, two modified desert eagles that worked with pulse, and a big, rare sniper rifle he made himself.
The rifle was currently in the Maria, secured and away from any bad hands.
"Johnny" He said with a demanding tone.
"Lena Oxton, BB. Also known as Tracer, she's twenty-six, had an incident with the so-called Slipstream and now suffers from Chronal Disassociation, which is the reason why she can now blend time. Weakness: One direct shot on that device of hers and she's gone for good" The blonde, tall guy responded immediately.
"She doesn't look like danger to me, BB?" Their doc said with a worried look on his face that changed into a smile the moment their chief chuckled.
"We know she isn't! Blondie's just being over dramatic as always" Their chief joked and their big buy started laughing, with a fire starting between his hands, "Hey, hey, watch out with that fire" Logan shuts himself up and concentrated on the fire which was getting more lively second by second, "Okay, guys. Sit down and smile, we need to make a good first impression! Johnny, you know what to do" He ordered and watched with amusement as their doctor and their big guy sat down on some wood logs they chopped, and started awkwardly fixing themselves up a little.
Their brain guy however, stood up and with a confident smile, he walked towards Tracer's silhouette that was slowly getting closer to their little camp.
Lena could see them because of the light the fire emanated, and when she noticed one of them standing up and slowly getting closer to them, she started getting a little scared about her idea to meet the crazy group, as Soldier:76 had called them.
She didn't have time to think, though. The moment she blinked (Literally), there was a handsome, blonde, tall guy (Not his type though) in front of her, wearing a normal soldier uniform and a small, confident smile.
"Welcome to our little camp, Lady Lena, I will now be the one who will introduce you to my brothers, my name John, and I'm at your service" He said, bowing after finishing, making her feel kinda weird, kinda praised, kinda important.
"T-Thanks, I guess?" She said with a blush showing in her cheeks, "How do you know my name?" John shook his head.
"No time for that, follow me" He said and started walking towards the camp.
She could hear some laughs and comments as she got closer, and after she got a close view, for some reason she started smiling.
She first noticed a short boy who was talking in front of two guys, a big one and a small, weird one.
She internally yelped when the short guy who was standing in front of those two turned to see her immediately, and then smiled at her.
"Hey there! Come closer, dear! We don't bite! Just Logus" He giggled when his big friend complained.
She appeared behind John, and entered the small camp area, noticing how it was all well made, the simple tents up and the campfire was looking like it could last for few more hours.
"Greetings! Welcome to the club!" The short approached her with a smile and his arms opened.
She didn't expect to be greeted with a hug, but she didn't mind either.
"Hey there, love. Welcome...to Overwatch, I guess?" Lena replied, his smile getting her own cheerful way of being to start showing off.
"Name's Bruce, I'm the chief of the Paws! Special forces of, uhm...Nowhere, we used to work by ourselves and saved whoever we could before we decided to join Overwatch" He explained, "This are my brothers. Here we have dummy Logan, but we all call him Big guy, or Logus" The big guy nervously stood up, and slowly, and with a shaking hand, he shook Lena's.
"I-It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Lena" He said with his voice nervous, "Me and my bros would always watch your performance on TV, and we're hoping you could show us some move when we joined Overwatch" He stutter when Bruce coughed at him, "A-Ah, yes! We're big fans, but, it's Danny's turn to introduce himself" He said, and finally let go of Lena's hand.
She was smiling very widely, though.
"It's my pleasure to meet you, little Logus!" She gave him a quick peck on the cheek making the big, muscular guy stumble into his seat, "I'll teach you guys some moves anytime!"
"See, Logus?" John called him with a calm tone, "Told you the secret is showing confidence, and even though you thought you were going to weird her out, you got yourself a kiss, how's that? All those days practicing finally worked out" He told to his big brother with proudness in his voice.
"He's a big fan of yours" BB whispered to her ear, and earned an smile from Lena, "Well, to be honest, we all are" She giggled, "But if Big Guy's dying for someone, that would be your russian" he said, wiggling his eyebrows like waves with a foxy smile.
"Oh I know what you want" Lena whispered, making the same cocky, foxy smile, "I'll try get those two along, how you like that?" Bruce nodded with a smile on his face and then turned to see their doc, who was struggling with himself.
"Oi, idiot" BB called him and motioned him to introduce himself.
"O-o-oh! Yes!" He stood up like a soldier and even saluted her, "My name is Danny, Miss Oxton. It is a very pleasure to meet you! I know how to heal my brothers, and I also know how to fly! I'm a big fan just like my brothers!" he said all that in two seconds, and then, after shaking her hand very quickly, took a seat again.
He whispered something to John, Did I do good?
The blonde just started shaking his head in disbelief. Danny didn't even give Tracer a chance to return the greet.
"And that would be all, I bet you know John already. He's basically our brains and our romantic adviser...Well, not mine, just theirs" Lena nodded amused, and checked the sky for a second.
"It's pretty late, so I'll be goin' back to the base now, loves" She said and heard all of them groan.
"Oh come on, you have to stay to hear Big guy's stories at least!" Their doc said with a begging tone, "Please?" He asked, and she turned to see them all looking at her with puppy dogs.
She amusingly sighed, and giggled.
"Well, I guess I don't have any other choice but to stay, huh?"

Well, this is my new project. The idea popped out in my mind when I was at school and I just decided to give it a go.
I'll obviously continue with my other stories too, it's just that I'm having some writer's block right now, but it ain't nothing serious, really.
(Think of the camping things as the way the boys camp in Final Fantasy XV)
Reviews are always appreciated, and will most likely help me get inspired.
