After pressing the button to travel back in time, Mercy's surroundings changed instantaneously around her. It would be like being in one place, blinking and when your eyes open you were in a completely different place. This was the only thing which that Mercy could compare with what just happened to her to.
As the cloud of blue smoke around Mercy dispersed she saw that she was standing on a bridge, which was suspended above a large pool of water. She placed both hands on the fence that was in front of her, so that she could get a better look around. When she looked to the left she could see a large barn looking building made out of wood. It read on it 'Reliable Excavation Demolition.' She then looked right to reveal another building, however this one looked more industrial, like a factory which instead read 'Builders League United.'
"It actually worked," Mercy said to herself in amazement.
Suddenly she got a feeling as if someone was standing right behind her. She turned to reveal a knife heading straight for her, so she quickly pulled up her Caduceus staff and pushed it against the wrist of the hand which was holding the knife.
Despite her quick reaction, the man was stronger than her and pushed her to the point where she was leaning her back against the wooden fence. She took a moment to look at her attacker. He was wearing a clean blue suit with a white shirt underneath and was also accompanied with a tie. The face however was covered up by a balaclava which was also blue.
In an attempt to gain the upper hand, she went for her Caduceus blaster but the man stopped her and grabbed her wrist. He then squeezed it firmly causing Mercy to let out a sharp cry of pain as it dislocated from her arm, causing her to drop her weapon. The man then ripped the watch off her wrist and crushed it in his hand right in front of her as an act of intimidation, not knowing its importance.
As she struggled, Mercy soon came to realise that this was one of the mercenaries assigned by Blutarch Mann to take over his brothers land. Another thing that she realised was that he was not very friendly.
The man the skillfully threw his knife into the air and caught it with his now free hand.
"I am afraid this is the end for," The man said with a prominent French accent sadistically, yet also awkwardly politely. He then raised the knife and was about to bring it down, but was then suddenly interupted by someone he did not expect.
"Oi Spy," Was what Mercy and the Spy heard, spoken by an Australian voice. The pair of them both turned their heads to the source of the voice at the same time to see a man standing at one end of the bridge.
The man was wearing a brown jacket with a red shirt underneath it, which had a two patches on the side of his shoulders which resembled cross hair's. He then pulled from behind his back a jar of some sort of yellow substance and gave the Blu Spy a smirk.
"Jarate!" The man yelled as he threw the jar at the Blu Spy, which shattered upon impact with his face. Within moments the Blu Spy was coated in a foul smelling substance. He took several slow steps backwards and dropped his knife.
"Jarate, nooooooooo!" He yelled as he ran off in the opposite direction from Mercy and the Australian man.
Mercy then slowly moved her back down along the fence and sat against it, laying her Caduceus staff across her lap. She then examined the remains of the watch that had been crushed by the Blu Spy. She knew that it was beyond any form of repair and that she would most likely face the fact that she was stuck here.
She then tried to move her injured arm, but it only succeed in creating more pain. "Scheisse," She muttered to herself. Because of the fact that she was so busy managing herself she didn't notice the Australian man standing right next to her.
"You alright Sheila?" The man asked her whilst he examined her as well.
"Only a dislocation," She responded with as she examined her wrist.
The Aussie then bent his knees so that he was more level with her. "You can consider yourself lucky Sheila," He said to her, impressed at the fact she managed to survive the engagement with the Blu Spy. "Not many people survive their run in's with that guy," He added.
"I have a proper name you know and I would like it if you used it," She said to him seriously.
"I'd use it if I knew mate," The Aussie implied.
Mercy mentally face palmed at the fact that she had said that, because of the fact that she indeed hadn't told him anything about her self yet. She remembered that Winston said that she should make minimal contact, but if she were to get home and if these guys were as advanced as Winston told her, then she would need their help.
"You can call me Doctor Ziegler or Mercy, now help me up," She stated as she stuck out her good arm.
"Alright Doc," The Aussie man said completely disregarding what she had just told him. "I'm the Sniper," He stated proudly.
"Sniper?" Mercy asked him.
"We all call each other round 'ere what we specialise in," He explained. "So it's pretty self explanatory if you think about it."
"Whatever you say," Mercy said walking off with Sniper into the Red building.
A couple minutes later Mercy and Sniper had reached an area which seemed to look like some sort of medical lab. It didn't seem to look very advanced, but there were some pieces of equipment that Mercy saw that she had never seen, or heard of before.
"Medic, you in 'ere?" Sniper shouted into the room.
"Ja, just give me a moment Sniper," Both of them heard a German sounding man say whom was not in view.
After a couple of bangs and crashes the Medic appeared with his dove Archimedes flying ahead of him.
"Where are you going Archimedes?" The Medic said crossly at the bird.
Archimedes flew up into the the rafters of the lab and refused to comply with the Medic.
Medic then saw the Mercy and Sniper staring at him awkwardly.
"Birds," He said shrugging his shoulders.
"Whatever Doc," Sniper said to him bluntly. "This gal here needs a hand, or a wrist," He said jokingly.
"Don't worry my friend, I have just th..." Medic was then cut off by Mercy.
"You know I am a doctor right Sniper?" She asked him. "I have my own equipment to help, here," She said handing him her Caduceus staff. "Now point it at me and hold that button there," She said pointing at the staff.
Sure enough as soon as Sniper held down the button a golden healing stream appeared and went straight to Mercy. The bones in her wrist then seemingly started to fix themselves as they moved back into place. The stream then stopped and Mercy span her wrist to make sure it had been fixed properly.
"Much better," She said as she span her wrist.
"Interesting," The Medic thought to him self before coming to a quick realisation. "Wait of you're a doctor this only means one thing and that is that you're here to take my job!" The Medic shouted. "I will not go without a fight," He said picking up a nearby bone saw and goofily pointing it towards Mercy.
"Easy there, I'm not here for your job," Mercy reassured him.
"I believe her," Sniper added rather bluntly.
"Oh that is a relief," The Medic sighed. "Now, can I have a look at that staff please?" The Medic asked rubbing his chin.
"Maybe later," Mercy answered reluctantly. "But first, there are more of you correct?" She asked both men.
"Yes," Both of them said at the same time.
"Okay, I need to talk to all of you, it's very important," She told the two men.
"Alright," Sniper said. "I'll go and get the other guys all round up, We'll be in the recreation room," He explained to Mercy. "Just follow the signs and you'll find it," He added before leaving to gather the other mercenaries.
A/N: For the amount of support I got for the first chapter, I am treating you all to a (hopefully) longer second chapter hope you enjoy.
On another note, a guest asked me some questions and I will answer them so here you go.
1) My punctuation was off in the first chapter, as I wrote it late at night so I was rather tired.
2) I chose to do this with Mercy because I like her character the most in Overwatch and the same with the Medic in TF2. Hence the whole story and the title.
3) If you are referring to the device that explodes in Winston's face in the 'Alive' short, that is a smaller version of his portable shield he uses in the game, not a time manipulation device like mine.
Hope that clears some things up for you :)
