Ok, I will be changing from 1st Person to 3rd Person this chapter. I will be continuing with the voiceover thing inbetween every few paragraphs.

AU where Overwatch never disbanded, set before the events of the Slipstream Incident.

So... guess you want to know more about me, huh? Ok, I'm 28 years old... even though I shouldn't be. Anyway, I used to be an Overwatch agent. One of the best. One of the heroes. But that didn't really work out.

The young girl had a questioning look on her face. But, just like that, she snapped to the perky thing everyone on the base knew her as. Even though Kore didn't know that much about her, his mental image of her, constructed from what little he had heard and seen, was of a positive, perky, energetic young girl.

"Hiya, luv! What can I do for ya?". Well, it was at this point where Kore knew he had messed up. Like, really, really messed up. Badly. But he kept his cool and tried not to lose it in front of the younger girl and calmly responded with "Well, I just thought you looked a little lonely over here, no?". She seemed to relax; which is strange because she never seemed to have been tense in the first place. She then let out what sounded like a sigh of relief. "You have NO idea! Its just-" she looked down for a moment. "there's no one here that understands how boring it is. I'm a pilot, but with the weather lately I haven't been cleared permission to fly for weeks.". Kore merely looked at her, but turned his gaze downward towards where she was looking. He looked back up at her to see that she was staring at him, she looked into his eyes. She seemed lost in them. She then looked back down, a blush spreading across her face. She then mumbled something under her breath. "I'm sorry?" Kore questioned. "What!? Nothing. Whaddya talkin' about, luv?". She jumped to her feet and did a little mock salute. "Name's Lena Oxton. What about you, luv?".

"I'm Kore.". It sounded more blunt then it should have. He hated when he spoke to people. Always made a fool of himself. But the only people he ever spoke too were his best friends. Were.

Lena looked a little awkward but she didn't want to make a bad impression on him. "Al..righty then. Kore what?"

He sighed. This was it. The part he despised the most. His surname. It wasn't an embarrssing surname or anything. Its just... he didn't have one. He never had parents. Fended for himself until he was about 14. Thats when he saw an angel. Mercy, head of the Overwatch medical facilities and research, also team mom, adopted him after he was found smack bang in the middle of a warzone. Surrounded by hundreds of dead bodies. No one ever questioned it. But when he grew up? As an Overwatch agent he found himself in constant trouble with Commander Morrison. They were always butting heads. Kore was young, but he was a military genius. Not as much so as Morrison, but pretty close. He was quite the power house as well. But then Morrison snapped.

He broke away from his memories and thoughts.

"Just Kore."

Damn it. There he goes again with the blunt answers, seemingly void of emotion. He went through the story in his head, filtering through what he would and wouldn't reveal to the girl in front of him. But she nevered asked. She didn't pry. Not at all. She nodded intently. "Fair enough. Not my business, I know that much."

Thank God. She respected boundaries. He liked that. She then looked around and turned back to Kore. "You want to be friends?". It sounded awfully childish, moreso then she had hoped, at least. Kore blinked a few times and thought about the offer. "That'd be great.". He gave her a warm smile, which she gladly returned, a glint of excitement in her eyes.

A/N

Ok so this is slightly longer, I'll do one more of this introduction type chapter and then get to the flesh of the story which is what I've thought most about. But to explain my OC, Kore, he is basically just a guy who has insane abilities that I'll go through in a later chapter. He obviously isn't a people person and is only friendly with people he has known for a long time, however with Lena's calming and friendly prescence they become good friends in a short period of time (which basically sums up these intro chapters). But there will be a lot of playful flirting and flirty banter between the two before there is possible pairing.

Anyway, if anyone reads this crap, thanks and I'd really appreciate comments and reviews. And be as harsh as you like; I really appreciate constructive criticism.
