Ok, I'll keep it simple: Chris, no. In a polite way, the avenger story has already been done (check out Broken Beyond Repair, good fic. It's also getting a sequel, was said to come out). As for the Irina part (The Balancer of Heaven and Hell, if I am not wrong, good story). Still open to ideas..

I'm also planning on reviving the Issei x Rias story, but far better (thanks to an inspiration from a new harem anime). Last but not least, I didn't really know which path to take on this Overwatch/DxD fic, so I chose Talon (Mother Widowmaker for the win... I blame RSK).

If you have any ideas, put them in the comments or send me a message.

Way of the Talon

In the calm city of Nagano, Japan, three beings walked down the now empty streets. The one in the middle was a tall man dressed in black robes, a bandolera with several shotgun shells strapped onto it, and a belt that also had several shells strapped onto it.

To the man's left was a woman in black and light purple leggings, a dress that reached her mid-thighs and a black coat that also reached her mid-thighs (I suck at descriptions, I'm sorry). A side of her head was shaved, and she carried a small submachine gun.

To the man's right was a purple-skinned woman in a dark pink body suit that had a diamond-shaped opening in the front and one in the back. Long black hair adorned her head along with an odd set of goggles, appropriate for the role she played: sniper of the trio. As expected, she had a sniper rifle strapped onto her back. This was Amelie Croix, a French sniper who went by the name Widowmaker.

"Reaper, now that we have wiped the place of the liberals, what is our next step?" the purple woman asked the man.

"We leave, our work here is done, Widowmaker," the man answered the purple-skinned woman, not bothering to look at her.

"And what about our guest?" the third woman asked, looking at a child who was scavenging for food in a now abandoned house. The child looked at them in fear, before trying to hide himself.

"We leave him be, Sombra," Reaper, also known as Gabriel Reyes, answered the now identified woman, who so happened to be a Mexican hacker. Amelie went towards the child, bringing out a small bag of chocolates.

"Do you want some, enfant?" she asked, before the child accepted it, eating the chocolates quickly.

"I suggest we take him. Aside from being quite adorable, there are never enough soldiers," she said, smirking.

"Besides, Gabriel, if we die, who leads Talon?" Sombra asked him.

"You two do have a point, but mark my words, I will not be in charge of him, you two will," he said, before walking away. As he was at a considerable distance away from them, the two women began to talk.

"Why did you truly want to bring him with us?" the Mexican hacker asked.

"Aside from the fact he is quite adorable, I felt something I had never felt, something I thought they had erased from me: the intact maternal instinct. The error those who brainwashed me committed was only taking away everything I had, except my husband."

"So, how can they take away what you don't have, I guess?"

"Exactly. If we use the black widow example, we might kill our husbands, but we do not kill our children."

"Reaper has far more experience than the two of us. If he dies, so does Talon. Besides, I am quite sure you would love having a younger brother," she said, smirking. Aside from spending time helping Los Muertos in her younger years, she had thought about family every now and then. She then remembered that she was 37, never thinking about settling down. In conclusion, she hadn't put in time for family, and this could be her chance.

"I guess there's a first time for everything, amiga," Sombra said, before the four departed.


Ok, being honest, I was being very lazy with this (must thank Heroes of the Storm 2.0, end of the semester and all...). I might be assigning Zenith Tempest to Issei, maybe electricity-based powers, I don't know. If you have power suggestions, tell me, and here are some extra interactions. This is the penultimate story (unless another idea is tossed in, and also changed between normal and underlined for separate interactions):

Issei: 'Mei' I ask you a question?

Mei: Leave the name-related puns to me.

Issei: Alright, alright.

Issei: *Mimics 'Electric Zoo'.

Bastion: *Beeps and boops*

Rias: So you are Issei's mother?

Widowmaker: Hurt him and I will not hesitate in killing you.

Rias: That discards the peerage invitation...

Gabriel: I sense pain within you...

Reaper: It's been 20 years like this...

Gabriel: I was not only referring to the physical sense.
