"I still don't understand why we are doing this, we are still fugitives from the law and she is a wanted terrorist," said Hana Song aka. D. Va as they were all sitting around the table in the briefing room.

"Plus, Talon will want her back," said Hanzo. "We can deal with so many enemies at once."

Just as Lena was about to open her mouth Mercy stepped in and said, "Hana, Hanzo, you have to understand Amélie was a close friend to all of us who were here before the fall of Overwatch. We have a duty to help her if we can."

The two of them didn't respond to this, they were the newest members of Overwatch and had no idea about the history; and as brash as she was even she realized that this was a topic that she was not going to win on. But, McCree did speak up, "I know no one wants to bring this up, but IS she the same person that she was before. I mean the Amélie that I remember was nothing like whoever that is we have in holding."

"That is not her fault," said Winston. "We all know what Talon is capable of. You are right McCree that is not the woman that we knew, but I believe that the person is in there somewhere. We just need to find her, the reconditioning is strong but all reconditioning does is to implant another personality it does not get rid of the old one. Don't we owe it to Amélie and Gerard to try and see if we can help?"

There was a general murmur of agreement around the table, and McCree said, "Don't get me wrong I don't disagree with you, I am just worried that there is nothing left to save. But, I guess if there is anyone who can find a way to get her mind back it is the two of you."

"She will also be under constant guard, so none of you have to worry," said 76 as he looked around the table at the agents assembled.

"Any more questions or concerns? Okay, great Mercy and I will start working on a solution to help her tomorrow morning, for now she is not going anywhere and she can't hurt herself or anyone else; the rest of you go get some sleep. It has been a long few days, our work is just beginning," said Winston, as he got up from his chair signaling that the meeting was over.

The agents got up from the table, and most of them headed off to their rooms. But, Mercy, Tracer, and Solider 76 hung back with Winston. When the rest of them were gone Solider 76 said to Winston, "Be serious with me, what is the likelihood that you guys can do this. She would be a wealth of information in our fight against Talon. She would know better than any other resource that we have about their structure, resources, bases, with that information we could cripple them."

"Well, I am not sure of the odds until I perform so tests in the morning. But, we have to be careful because we don't know if they have any safeguards in place. If we mess up we could permanently damage her brain and nervous system, we are going into uncharted territory even for Mercy and myself," said the large silverback gorilla as he pushed his glasses up.

"If that happens can we still get the information from her?"

Before Winston could say anything Tracer jumped in and got right in his face, "I don't know what Talon has done to you, but you will not risk her health and sanity for a little piece of information. Overwatch is better than that, not that you would understand. We are the good guys, we do not treat people like weapons," said Tracer, in a low growl which was completely out of character for the normally chirper Brit.

"Calm down, Oxton, you are letting your feelings get in the way there are more important things at play here."

Mercy put her hand on Tracer's shoulder as Tracer took another step closer and clenched her fist, "Tracer, I get how you feel but there is no point in arguing with someone like him. But, let me say this, my only goal is to make sure that we get Amélie back to her old self in one piece."

"Thanks, Winston, Mercy, I really appreciate, I am glad that some people remember what we stand for. If you need me I will be down in the holding cells." She said as she turned and headed out the door.

Mercy turned back to the two of them and said, "Winston, I will see you in the morning. But, I am tired I am going to bed."

"See you in the morning, Doctor."

As she walked out of the door she stopped and whispered to 76, "Stay away from her, I can do things that will make a bullet look like an easy way out."

Then, she walked out into the hall and she saw Pharah standing there. Mercy smiled, the woman could always bring a smile to her face. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Just waiting for you," she said as she took the German doctors hand. "It has been a long day are you ready to go to bed?"

"Yeah, let's go."

They started to walk back to Mercy's room, "So, what do you think? Do you think that you will be able to save her? I hate to see you so angry."

Mercy looked at her, "What do you mean angry? I have not said anything."

"You don't need to see anything Mercy, I have known you for a while now and I can tell when you are angry; and it makes you angry to see your old friend like this doesn't it."

Mercy was surprised, Pharah was amazingly perspective and caring; a rare trait, but highly important, in a soldier. Mercy smiled, "I have known Amélie since she came to Overwatch, we were the same age and quickly became friends. She was such a kind and gentle soul when she first came here; so in love with her husband, so full of life. She used to love to cook, dance, and sing. But, Talon has warped her into something cold and ruthless; I cannot let that stand, I am going to bring back the old Amélie if it is the last thing that I do."

Parah smiled, "Of course you are my love, and it is so sexy to see you so determined." The door to their room slid open and Mercy pulled Pharah in and kissed her. "Let's not worry about it for the night and just have some time together."

"Well, if that is the doctor's orders who am I to disobey," she said in between kisses.

As Tracer paced back and forth in the elevator she was nervous, as much as she didn't want to admit it they had a point. What if they couldn't save her? What would happen to her? She couldn't bear to have come so close just to not be able to save her mind in the end.

When the doors open Tracer saw that Zarya was sitting down at the chair in front of the cell. "Hey Zarya, your turn to be down here?"

"Da, I have thee first watch."

"Oh, well you can go if you want I will watch her," said Tracer with a smile.

"Nice try little one, but I am not leaving you alone with the spider down here," said Zarya as she shifted in her chair.

Tracer pouted and said, "Why not you don't trust me Zarya."

The large Russian woman let out a booming laugh and said, "It is not that I don't trust you, but you are безумно влюбленный дурак."

"What does that mean?" said Tracer who had no experience with Russian.

"It means lovestruck fool. So, it is not that I don't trust you, she will take advantage of you. She has eyes like ice, she is planning something," said Zarya as she motioned to Amélie who was still sitting on the bed staring at the wall.

"How do you know that?" said Tracer, she didn't want people to learn about the history between her and Amélie. It was something that she was not proud of, and she didn't want her fellow Overwatch members to know about that, it was something that was best to keep quiet.

Zarya smiled, and said, "You people need to learn to keep to be quiet, you would not survive long in Russia. I was not sure until you confirmed it. But, I see the way that you have looked at her, I know that look it is unmistakable anywhere you are in the world."

"Okay, please don't anyone Zarya, I don't want anyone to know. I know that I am not going to win an argument Zarya, so can I just sit here and try to talk to her?"

Zarya thought about a second and said, "Sure, I do not seem the harm in that. Here." She got up and pushed Tracer her chair. "I am just going to sit over here, don't open the door but other than that feel free to do whatever you want."

Tracer nodded and spun the chair and sat down crossed on it and looked at Amélie who was still just staring at the wall. "So, Amélie, do you remember me?"

She didn't say anything, she just sat there staring at the wall. "Come on Amélie, I know that you recognized me earlier when we were finding. Do you at least remember my name?"

Amélie turned to her and said, "You are Overwatch Agent call sign Tracer. Twenty six year old British national, youngest person ever to join Overwatch, because of an accident with the experimental Slipstream program you know have the power to rewind and accelerate time. Currently number four on the Talon watchlist for interfering in Talon activities in England."

The words were so crisp and mechanical and did not at all sound like Amélie, it sounded like a machine. Talon had wiped away not only her memories but her personality as well; Tracer did not even know what to say in response to that. "Come on Amélie, you have to remember something."

"My name is not Amélie, she is dead my name is Widowmaker."

"That is not true, I know that Amélie is in there somewhere."

Just then Amélie got up off the bed and walked over to the side of the cell and looked Tracer right in the eye and said, "She was a weak fool in a loveless marriage, I am better and stronger than she ever was and she is not coming back, you insipid fool."

Those words cut Tracer to the core, to hear those words almost made her lose hope. "But, then it dawned on her that if she remembered that there had to be other memories looked away in there and if there were maybe that meant that despite what she said the only Amélie was in there as well; the Brit was not about to give up on her so easily. Winston and Mercy would be doing their experiments in the morning. However, maybe Tracer could help by retelling her some of her memories from before the capture.

"You remember the first time that you ever had a proper British meal?"

The woman just ignored her and went back to sit on the bed. "You were so appalled by it…"
