One month later…
It was Christmas, and the vigilantes had foiled some terror attack attempts by Talon, but their mission logs were starting to drain of events. Sam, or as he was now codenamed, Speedy, zipped through the streets of London. His so-called uniform was a khaki trench coat over a silver armoured suit made of ultralight, ultra-thin, bulletproof and adaptive vibrantium. His gauntlets were hidden in black gloves. His black combat boots made no noise as they skipped over the ground. He wore a black HUD visor that covered his eyes, and the lens bar glowed an angry blue. The visor could also fire beams of laser energy.
His personal AI, DJ, alerted him of a talk by the Omnic monk, Tekhartha Mondatta. Curious, the fifteen-year-old zipped over to have a look from a third-storey shop window. "We must coexist with each other…" the Omnic was droning on and on. Suddenly, Speedy was aware of a shadowy presence behind him. He turned, and found himself staring down the barrel of a one-of-a-kind sniper rifle. "You're new, chéri." A slightly accented voice spoke out of the darkness. Speedy knew who it was already.
"Think fast, Widowmaker." Speedy said, before concentrating and firing his visor. Widowmaker flipped her rifle out of the way, but took a hit in the chest and was sent sprawling. Speedy parkoured out of the window and swiftly climbed onto a rooftop. A whoosh behind him. Speedy turned to see Tracer fighting Widowmaker on the rooftop.
"Great, Lena has to go in and steal my quarry!" Speedy grumbled as he hurled an energy spear at Widowmaker with amazing accuracy. However, the elite sniper dodged and the spear went arcing away. Speedy zipped forward and smashed Widowmaker in the face with a mighty gauntleted punch. Her head snapped backwards, but she recovered quickly and kicked out, sending Speedy flying. Speedy fired the jets on his boots and pulled his two sidearms from his holsters. Firing away, Speedy and Tracer forced Widowmaker to the edge of the building.
Suddenly, the Talon sniper smiled. She stepped lightly back, dropping off. The two Overwatch agents hurriedly looked over to see what had happened. That was their mistake. A kick to Speedy's head, and a punch to Tracer's chronal accelerator, and the two were out for the moment. Widowmaker smiled and sprang away. She dangled off a building, took careful aim at the Omnic, and fired one shot.
Mondatta went down, and chaos ensued. A Talon ship flew nearby, picking up Widowmaker. Speedy groaned as he picked himself off the ledge, and sighed when he saw that his visor was cracked. He removed it, and went over to help Tracer. Speedy and Tracer's mission to protect Mondatta had failed, and the assassin had escaped. Speedy shook his head as he clipped his damaged visor to his belt and extracted the folded black beret that was pressed within a belt compartment. As he put the well-seasoned black beret on, Speedy spoke into his mission log. "December 25th, 2074. The mission to protect Omnic monk Tekhartha Mondatta from assassination failed. The assassin was Talon sniper Amélie Lacroix, AKA Widowmaker."
