You saw nothing for a moment, you were trapped in the middle of the dream and reality, and you saw it, again that dream, you did not understand it, the things that you saw were lightnings and you felt really hot, like burning, you were woken up by the sound of your alarm clock, it marked 6:30 AM, you woke up on your room, using a black tank top, and some loose sweatpants, you looked at the ceiling and combed your hair backwards and sighed, and said
-That dream again huh, well I better get ready
You got out of your bed quick, and went down to the kitchen, you turned on the tv on the news, meanwhile you tried to do something for breakfast, you were feeling tired, so you just grabbed a bowl and filled it with cereal and milk, and sat down to eat, you heard what was being said on the tv

-And in other news, members of the criminal organization Talon attacked the central mall yesterday, they stole more than five hundred thousand dollars on technological equipment, and engineering tools, and pieces.
You sat there watching and said to yourself
-Man, those guys have been a bother since before my parents passed out four years ago, damn those bastards

You said and looked up to the clock, 6:45, you got back to your room, and looked at an old photo that you had with your family and a special friend of yours, a small but really cheerful british girl, you smiled a little and got out of your pj's, grabbed a long sleeved black t-shirt, a black pair of a little bit skinny jeans, your black boots, a black with grey accents hoodie, and a red beanie hat that popped in contrast with your black outfit, you grabbed your backpack and headed downstairs to go to the train station, since you had to arrive early to college.
You checked the clock on your phone and said
-Ok, i'm on time, if everything goes right, I should not have any problems arriving
You said walking down to the station, it was winter, and there was snow on the walk way, and it was really early, so everything seemed dim, you got some flashbacks of when you were young, and your parents used to take you out a lot on winter, even though everyone said you were "a hot headed person" you smiled at the memory, and kept walking, you saw the station about two blocks away, you were passing through an avenue, you looked at the merchandise of some stores to see if anything interested you, so that you could buy it when you got back home, you spotted a nice set of headphones, you took a picture of them, and proceeded to walk, when you were halfway through the avenue you heard behind you heavy metalic steps, you turned around and saw an omnic running, you felt a gush of wind hit you when he passed through, and heard him say,
-Keep them off me please..!
You saw three guys with masks running behind the omnic, they carried a baseball bat, a golf club and a hockey stick, your eyes widened a little, you looked at your phone and said,
- Darn it, and I thought I was going to have a peaceful morning for once
You grabbed the hand of the omnic and said, follow me, you ran with it, fortunately for you, there was a crowd at that hour of the morning trying to enter the train, so you lost them on the entrance of the station, you hid for three minutes on one of the stores before the arriving platform, and then you heavily sighed, you looked at your clock, and you still had five minutes before your train arrived, you looked at the omnic, and said
- Why were those guys after you?
- Because I had something really important to give you (y/n)
You looked confused, how did he knew your name, and what could he have for you that was so important.
-(y/n) I know who you are, and who were your parents, Emily and Dan, some if not the best of the bio engineers of overwatch
Your eyes widened, and you said with some tears in your eyes
- Who sent you, and how the hell do you know about my parents, and about that damn organization
- Maybe she can tell you
Said the omnic, and took out what seemed to be a digital wrist watch, you double tapped it, and the overwatch logo appeared on it, and then another logo, that had a name written below, you read it carefully and said
-Athena?
The watch started glowing, and it said
-Initializing user scan
An infrared beam scanned your body and a computerized voice said
-Access granted, (y/n) Connor identified
After that, on the screen what seemed to be a video appeared and you could not believe what you saw on it, a brown spikey haired girl, she seemed confused, and silly just as you remembered her, some tears started rolling down your eyes, and you payed careful attention to the video
-Let's see, is this thing recording?
She said while looking at the camera, and when she realized she blushed a bit and laughed, then she sat on a chair and said
-Cheers love..! I know it's been a long time, about three to four years, I'm sorry for not being in contact with you after the accident, I know how hard it has been for you, and it has been for me too (y/n) I've missed you so much, and I did not wanted to harm you, nor to have you worrying about me, it was enough with what happened to your parents, and after high school, a lot of things happened, I know you know what happened on the accident with the slipstream, and I'm so sorry for not telling you earlier, I was de-synchronized with the time, so I was basically a ghost for a long time, until I got this
She pointed at the reactor that she had on her chest
-This machine helps me be here, and I wanted to be sure that it worked just right before contacting you, because I did not wanted to give you another wound, so, cutting all the "formal explanation about time and space" and all of that junk, I wanted to give you this message, if my math is right, and I hope for dear god that it is, because you know I'm not the best at it, you should be on your last week of college, if you decided to continue with the career that you told me when we graduated high school, so as a gift, I purpose you one thing
You looked in disbelief, and saw her take off her goggles , heavily blushing, and you did too, and wiped the tears that you had running down your face and heard carefully
-Let's meet up, do you still remember the café we always heard from our classmates, that one that is close to the hills ? Let's go there and catch up
She said this heavily blushing, then she blinked close to the camera, took it up, and said
-I'll be waiting for you there next week love
She said smiling to the camera, and turning it off, you were on a trance, to only be awoken by the sound of the alarm of the arrival of the train, you switched your vision to the omnic, and hugged it with your dear life, smiling like you had not done in years, and said
-Thank you so much
You waved goodbye to the omnic, and rushed to the train, you got inside just on time before its gates closed, you looked at the watch, and smiled, you said to yourself
-It's been seven years since my parents died on a terrorist attack from talon, on the overwatch facilities of (your country) after that, I was devastated, my childhood friend Lena Oxton was the only support that I had left, two years later, she decided to join the organization, when she told me she did I was so proud of her, two years later, I thought I lost her on a flight test, when she was chosen to test the "slipstream". After that, I tried to take my life many times, I had nightmares over and over, members of the organization tried to comfort me, Reindhardt and Torbjorn were close friends of my family, as well as commander Jack Morrison, and Gabriel Reyes, they sent me letters with their condolences, and sometimes even visited me on my home to make sure I was alright, they knew what I was going through, eventually, I tried to convince myself that it was normal, knowing it was killing me on the inside, and I closed my-self up, negating any kind of feeling or emotion.
-At this point, you were crying again, but you were smiling, you had a really big smile, and thought to yourself
-I'm seeing her again on a week, god why do I have to wait for so long..!
Fast forward a week
-You arrived to the café, you were on a red jacket, your red beanie hat, a black shirt, some grey jeans, and black boots, you entered the café, and sat down on a table, you saw your wristwatch glow, and a message appeared on the screen, it said
-Hey love, i'm five minutes away, you there yet?
-Yes, I'll be waiting for you
-We have so much to talk about :D
You smiled at that last text, and waited, five minutes passed and the bell from the door opened, and you saw her, and you had a big smile on your face, you saw again, your best friend Lena Oxton, better known, as Tracer
