Chapter 1

Watchpoint: Gibraltar

"Watcha looking at," a energetic British girl asked as she enters a room full with computers and other electronic devices automatically being used. "Hhheeelllooo~", she announces as she pokes a large dark man in the face.

Staring at two monitors, the man did not notice the small British girl until his glasses were removed. "Huh? My glasses? Where are my glasses," he asked as he threw his head in all directions.

"Over here Big Guy," the British girl teased as she twirled the man's glasses in her hands.

"Oh it's you Lena, when did you get here and may I have my glasses back," the man asked as he reached out his hand.

"I've been here the whole time Winston...and it's Tracer," she replied. "And yes you may have your glasses back," she continued as she placed them in his hand.

"Thank you," Winston replied as he returned to the two monitors he was staring at. Feeling eyes were glaring at him, Winston turned then said, "Oh oh oh, did you need something Le-I mean Tracer?"

"No I don't need anything luv, I was just wondering what are on those monitors that is causing you to stare so intensely," Tracer replied as she approached him. "Oh by the way, I've got your favorite," she continued as she reached for the item in her bag.

Taking a sniff, Winston asked, "Is that peanut butter?"

"Bingo," Tracer replied as she revealed a big jar of peanut butter.

Ogling at the peanut butter, Winston was about to snatch it, until he said, "No no no. This isn't the time to be distracted." Turning back to the two monitors, he continued, "I need to stay focus in case our new friends need help."

"New friends," Tracer questioned as she peeked over Winston's shoulder. In the first monitor she spotted a young man trekking through the Nigerian Savannah which was clearly littered with signs of battle and in the second she spotted a person in a flame resistant battle suit already engaged in combat with fires and local thugs. "WINSTON YOU RECRUITED THESE TWO," Tracer shouted as she glared at him.

"You're the one that said 'The world could always use more Heroes' to those kids at the museum," Winston replied as he faced her.

"I said that to inspire them to do good and hopefully not to the things we do," Tracer responded as she crossed her arms.

Winston let out a sigh then said, "I know I know...but I didn't seek these two out."

"They came to you?"

"Yes. Listen Lena, I could see the determination in their eyes, that they want to help us change the world for the better," Winston answered as he took off his glasses and began cleaning it. "How could I say no to those who want to do good."

"Aww Winston. I'm sorry," Tracer replied as she placed her hand on his cheek. "How bout this then Big Guy," she said as she grabbed a seat. "I'll stay with you and provide additional assistance if any is needed," she continued as she sat down.

"Thank you Lena," Winston replied as he reached for two folders. "Here are their profiles," he said as he handed them to Tracer. "Take a look over and tell me what you think."

" Alex 'Zap' Martinez and Sam 'Pyro' Kuznetsov?"

Nigerian Savannah

"Mucho calor...," a young man with tanned skin mumbled as he gazed at the sun. He took off his backwards baseball cap to wipe the sweat on his forehead, revealing his faux hawk haircut, then said, "If I knew I was being sent here, I would've worn lighter clothes."

"Alex? Alex are you there," a voice spoke over his communicator.

"Hola Winston, I am here," Alex replied as he scanned the area.

"Good. Glad to see your communicator is working," Winston responded. "Uh...how are you feeling?"

Spotting a abandoned car, Alex approached it to view himself. Wearing a medium weight black tactical vest with a green long sleeve underneath with both sides folded to his elbows, and two black finger less gloves on his upper body. Taking a look below, with the utility belt around his waist, he wore green cargo pants and black combat boots. "Mucho calor...," Alex answered as he continued his trek.

"I'm sorry?"

"Hot. Winston, I feel very hot," Alex repeated.

"Oh. Sorry not giving you full details on your mission, but it was urgent," Winston responded.

"It's cool," Alex replied as he spotted his destination. "Reminds me of home," he said as he began making his way there.

"That's good to hear...I think," Winston responded. "Anyway, you remember what you have to do right?"

"Yes. First, eliminate any Talon members in the area. Second secure VIPS and any UN Soldier survivors. Third signal you to call an evacuation, and fourth leave before said evacuation crew arrives," Alex replied as he repeated the objectives Winston gave him before sending him off.

"Glad to know you're focused," Winston responded. "I also see you're near your destination."

"Yeah and I'm unarmed," Alex replied as he peeked over a hill. Mierda, he thought as he spotted dozens of Talon soldiers patrolling the area.

"Sorry again, but you wouldn't have made it past that checkpoint if you had your weapons," Winston explained.

"I know, but I just feel naked it without them," Alex answered as he continued to survey the area. Hearing a gunshot, Alex turned and spotted a Talon solider began executing UN Soldiers. "I could use my weapons right about now," he said as he slid back down.

"They're on the way," Winston replied.

Hearing more gunshots, Alex shouted, "And when will that be?!" Suddenly a drop pod landed right next to Alex, knocking him to the ground.

"Now," Winston answered.

"Cristo Winston, you know how to make an entrance," Alex responded as he got to his feet and approached the drop pod.

"I'm a scientist. I always know how to make an entrance," Winston gloated. "Anyway, you'll find your light pulse rifle, which fires in a three round burst, your laser trip wires, which can only be placed on walls or doorways, and your laser mines that can be placed on the ground then pop up and explode, unleashing a barrage of lasers. Reminds me of the WWII Bouncing Betty, very classic choice," Winston read the list of armaments as Alex retrieved them. "Oh and your green tinted gunner glasses," he continued. "You ready to go?"

Putting on his gunner shades, Alex replied, "Sí, y muchas gracias a mi amigo gorila."

"I'm a scientist," Winston replied.

"Ah yeah, mi amigo el científico," Alex responded as he faced the Talon soldiers who came to investigate the noise. Alex opened fired, taking out two of the four, then dashed to a large rock for cover.

"Man down," a Talon soldier shouted as he opened fire at Alex's position. "Hurry up and find those VIPS," he continued as he took cover.

"Why are you giving orders," another Talon soldier shouted. "You ain't the boss."

"Cause you're an idiot," the first Talon soldier shouted back. "NOW OPEN FIRE AT THE INTRUDER!"

Seeing the Talon soldiers argue, Alex thought, Idiotas. A quick session of two bursts and they went down. "Very glad I got the dumb ones," Alex commented as he made his way up the hill. "Now then," he said as he stared at the dozen of Talon soldiers aiming at him. "Let's get this party started," he shouted as he shot an explosive barrel, eliminating five, then taking cover behind some vehicles.

"Take the UN Soldiers inside and get'em to tell you where the VIPS are at," the leader shouted as he fired at Alex. "And you'd better find out by the time we're done with this trash," he continued as he motioned men to flank Alex.

Guess that one is the leader, Alex thought as he peeked from his cover. Oh and it seems he's planning to flank me, he continued as he took out a laser mine. "Enjoy your gift," he commented as he planted it then sprinted to a building. Dodging bullets, Alex dove inside. He felt a light sting on his arm and found out he had been grazed. Mierda, he thought as the stinging increased. Suddenly he heard his mine go off followed by the screams of the Talon soldiers "Payback," he commented.

"Laser mines," the leader questioned as he witnessed his men fall. "Crap, we've got a special one," he continued as he made more hand motions.

More hand motions, Alex thought as he glanced over his cover. Maldecir. I've got to get down to those UN Soldiers before they break and eventually kill them, he continued as he spotted the building they were being held in. Vamos vamos ... piensa Alex piensa, he thought as he tried to come up with a plan.

"Frag out," a Talon soldier shouted.

"Did he say frag," Alex questioned. Hearing and seeing a frag grenade roll up next to him, Alex shouted before he escaped, "HE DID!"

Seeing the explosion, the leader commented, "And that should do it."

"Inténtalo de nuevo," Alex shouted as he emerged from the dust cloud and opened fired. Pinging the leader, Alex managed to take out five more before entering the building the UN soldiers were being held. Rushing down the stairs, Alex spotted a few Talon soldiers at the bottom and shouted, "Perras sorpresa!"

"What th-" a Talon soldier said before getting shot.

"Shit! Take cover," another shouted.

"Too slow," Alex shouted back as he opened fired taking them all out. Reloading his mag, Alex heard noises coming from behind the large door in front of him.

"Hey! What's going on out there," a voice shouted.

"Uh...Nothing! Just...just Carl being stupid and accidentally squeezed his trigger then his gun went wild," Alex replied as he approached the door.

"Damnit Carl," the voice shouted back. "Anyway, I'm down to one more UN Soldier! She's about to break! Aren't ya missy," the voice continued. Alex heard a muffled scream then kicked down the door which surprised the Talon interrogator. "Hey you're not one of u-" he managed to say before Alex popped him.

"Cabron," Alex commented as he approached the UN Soldier. "Are you okay chica," he asked as he removed her binds.

Gasping for air, the UN Soldier took a few minutes to breath before she replied, "Y-yes...th-thank you..."

"I'm glad. And I'm sorry I didn't make it in time to save your friends," Alex responded as he stood up.

"W-who are you," the UN Soldier asked as she examined Alex. "Don't look like any military I recognize," she continued.

"Eh...It's hard to explain...but just know I'm here to help," Alex answered. "I didn't catch your name?"

"Mira...Mira Cohen," the UN Soldier answered. "Yours?"

"Alex," Alex replied. Hearing footsteps from upstairs, he continued, "Just Alex for now."

"That's a lot of footsteps," Mira commented as she took cover. "You got a plan?"

"Trying to come up with one," Alex answered. "By the way, where are the VIPs?"

"How do yo-They're in a secure location below us," Mira answered. "Those bastards tried getting the code out of my squad mates and I," she explained as she glanced at her deceased comrades.

"They're sacrifice will be remembered," Alex commented. Spotting a grenade roll up next to him, again, Alex asked before grabbing Mira then jumping out of range, "WHATS WITH THE GRENADES!" The grenade exploded, knocking him into the wall then to the floor. "La maldición del dios that hurts," Alex groaned as he opened his eyes. "Mira? You okay?"

"Y-yes," Mira groaned back.

"Good," Alex groaned as he got to his feet. What do I do...I'm out of options and I'm low on ammo...there is no way o-

"Oh Alex, I forgot to mention. Your light pulse rifle has a secondary function, but needs to charge," Winston interrupted. "When charge, you can fire an enormous laser, eliminating anything in the area," he explained. "Alex? Alex where are you? I can't see you on the map."

Hearing a ping, Alex checked his rifle and a sign popped up notifying him that his secondary function was fully charged. "Cristo Winston," Alex commented.

"Alex?"

"You really know how to make an entrance," he responded as he aimed his rifle and squeezed the trigger.

"You think that got'em boss," a Talon soldier questioned as they approached the door.

"Nah. That one was special, it'll take a lot more to kill him, and I'm glad," the leader answered. "Gonna pay him back for the holes he gave me."

"Aww yeah! That means we get to have fun with the soldiers," another Talon soldier commented. "Hahahahahah- what the," he asked as he opened the door to see Alex aiming at them.

"Huh," the leader questioned.

"Adiós Pendejos," Alex shouted as he fired.

"Ah sh-" the leader said before being annihilated by Alex's laser.

"Dios mío," Alex commented at the results of his laser.

"Alex? Alex you there?"

"Winston..."

"Yes?"

"That was awesome," Alex shouted at his victory.

"Glad to see you like the tinkering I made," Winston replied. "Status on the mission."

"Oh...uh...the VIPs are secured..."

"And the UN Soldiers?"

"I only managed to save one," Alex answered as he glanced back at Mira who took cover behind a table.

"I see...I know it must be hard, but at least you saved one instead of none," Winston replied. "It's always better to save one then none. Remember that."

"Th-thank you Winston," Alex responded. "Mission complete."

"Good. Alerting UN Forces. Hopefully they're nearby and won't take long to get there," Winston said. "Find a vehicle and get out of there," he explained.

"Entendido," Alex replied as he faced Mira. "An evacuation team is on their way," he said as he extended his hand.

Grabbing his hand, Mira was pulled up then replied, "Wai-how? Nevermind..."

Reaching the outside, Alex said, "You should be safe until they get here."

"Thank you," Mira replied as she sat on the stairs. "First day on the job and I've already gone through hell..."

"Hey, it's my first day too," Alex responded as he gave her a smile. "Sorry...I smile in awkward moments..."

Chuckling, Mira said, "It's okay..."

"Well...I should be going," Alex said as he headed for a vehicle.

"Wait," Mira exclaimed. "Like I said, I've never seen any military personnel like you before," she explained. "Just tell me who are you with," she demanded.

Smirking, Alex revealed the Overwatch patch on his right hand glove. Seeing Mira's eyes go wide, he said after turning on the vehicle, "Its watch isn't over yet."

"Wait," Mira shouted, but Alex slammed the accelerator and sped off into the distance.

Alex took a glance through the rear view mirror then commented, "Sorry chica, but the world still has negative thoughts towards Overwatch." "I hope our paths cross again on a much more pleasant term," he said as he drove to the Overwatch drop ship.
