I would like to timeline that the revival happen at the beginning of the last month of summer and that at the first month of Autumn Hanzo joined, just in case it's a bit confusing, after the flashback is done we will be back to 6 month time back to the start, which is roughly the beginning of Spring. I'm sorry if this confused anyone if you were trying to figure out more or less what season it was starting out in. HQ is Gibraltar since I forgot to mention in the First chapter.

6 months prior


Start of fall with the heat of summer simmering down a tad before eventually becoming a cool breeze. It is one month of Hanzo joining Overwatch after the organization being re-activated 2 months ago.

Overwatch became disband at the time Blackwatch become noticeable to the public eye and adoring fans turn into protesters of the peace makers. For 3 years, crime rate increased tenfold. Deaths double to triple over the course as well gangs, mobs and even ,terrorist groups.

When the President received its fifth death treat and third actual attempt is when a meeting was placed to vote on Overwatch becoming active once more. Majority ruled and out of a 50 head count only 4 ney at the idea of Overwatch revival, mostly simply for the fact that they would have no control or say so once they were reinstated.

During the last month of summer, Overwatch was brought back to life, reaching out to one another,as well as any new possible members to join the ranks in any area that needed man power. Positions were needed on the front lines, behind the big screens for research, technological improvements to weapons as well as defense mechanism, Surveillance teams as well as first response medics to those in the crossfires of all of the chaos trying to be tamed.

The original OW members slowly went when called, others needed more time more so for the journey rather than deciding if joining again was a good option. They were there when the call was done originally, none thought for a moment to ignore the second call.

1 month into Re-open Overwatch: first day of Autumn.


"I am proud to present the remaining members re-joining as well as a new member that has accepted the request to join our numbers; Genji Shimada, Jesse McCree, and not least Hanzo Shimada!" Winston cheered out into the spacious meeting room that contained bodies clapping and cheering to the news.

Winston continued his note card speech "Though it took some time for one of our members to be found after many detours," Winston gives a quick stare at McCree, "it did lead to Hanzo joining our ranks. So I suppose overall everything is going smoothly." Winston than gave the moment to Doctor Angela, or as more have remember her by as Mercy.

"Hello, and welcome all both re-joining and new members to the overwatch family. This day will be used to get used to your new headquarters and in time, call it home. It has been one month since OverWatch was revived and today all the original as well as special request members have joined us. I will be the Head Medic both here and on the field concerning your health both physical and mental. Please do not hesitant to ask for help, it is my pleasure to make sure you are well. And with that, unpack, unwind and be reading for what awaits us starting tomorrow."

Mercy gives a nod to the entire room and begins her leave as well as other who are catching up on some chit chat as well as though getting ready to explore the HQ. The last month had been mostly powering up the building and checking for any repairs that were needed,along with expanding the building as well. Along with basic training for each section that everyone was signing up for, only the veteran were out on the field being active until everyone was accounted for.

"It's wonderful that you decided in the end to join us Brother, though curious what was it that changed your mind?" Genji asked while leaning against the wall that is now apart of Hanzo's room. Looking at the back of Hanzo Genji remembers that during the 3 years Overwatch was shut down that a year later they had a battle again.

After this past year they had become more civil and dare he say, reconciled with each other. Hanzo placed down his few belongings and responded back to the question.

"After the last battle when I found out you survived all these years…I did not want you to vanish again from me. I carry the guilt of killing you all this time. It is much to late for it all now but it's not to late to have you apart of my life. After Father passing and the arranged marriage that would had made the Shimada clan grow twice in size, for once, I decided to make a decision for myself rather than for the clan."

Hanzo paused thinking how to phrase the last words,they weighed on him for the last few months. "Brother, you may have died as a Shimada in their eyes but I left the name and power to be the next Head Shimada Leader. I have the name but nothing else."

Silence took over the room, as both took in the words that were given life. Genji knew just how much the clans rules and words were, they were law. For Hanzo to basically said he turned his back and rejected it all, he who killed his brother for the clans rules, turned back on it all."Hanzo…you are still worthy of the Shimada name, and a worthy brother as well as opponent. It pleases me to have you by my side and not against me and for once made a choice that you deemed fit for yourself and not for another." Genji declared while patting Hanzo shoulder for reassurance.

"Now if you will excuse me, I must go find Jesse. He tends to get drink away the day,still needs to unpack." Hanzo was about to let him leave but the devil himself made it easy for him to be found by opening up the door.

" 'scuse me Hanzo, Imma looking for…oh there ya are. Genji, I got some tea and sake for you to join me for an early lunch." Hanzo looked at both brothers, a tint of pink on his face to show he has some alcohol in him but not enough to forget what he is doing.

"Hanzo, if ya wanna join us there's plenty for three. If Genji being true to his word, I believe who can handle a few rounds of your own." Before Hanzo could give any kind of answer, McCree had already turned around and walked towards what seem to be his room, just a few doors down to the left. Genji chuckles at the unexpected entrance.

"The offer is there, join if you care. McCree won't be leaving the room once he has his drinks out, I'm surprised he got out to find me and to invite you." Genji then finally left the room and walked down 3 doors to the left and open, not bothering to knock.

Hanzo stared at the door his brother walked in. He only had met Jesse McCree a few hours ago and was curious why a random person would be so casual among him and his brother.

"How close is he to Genji? He was a member to the prior Blackwatch, so I suppose a old teammate. To randomly ask if I'd like to join, to include me... I suppose one or two cups of tea or sake would be fine. The first step to paving my new path and if possible as Winston had mention, a new Family."

Hanzo closes his door and decided to walk over three doors down and like Genji open the door and joined for the afternoon.
