Hi everyone

I wanted to say thanks for all the feedback and support. I'm glad to see the story has gotten people's interest and that people are enjoying it. I appreciate feedback and comments that anyone has. As for the chapter length, as the story developed I was planning to increase the length of the chapters to reflect what was happening, so expect to have more to read as the plot thickens :D

Anyway enjoy

Volskaya Industries- Russia 13:45

The Overwatch team were positioned at the entrance to the factory. Thanks to some clever scouting by Genji, Talon's plan of attack had been found out. Due to this, the team had payed out two positions. Objective A and objective B. Talon were planning to take the front section of the facility first. This was Objective A. If Overwatch could not hold this sector, they would fall back to Objective B. This was the factory interior and the last line of defence.

Ever since Winston had recalled Overwatch, they had gained support from other freelancers. Zarya, Lucio and DVa had joined up with Overwatch and were now helping them defend the factory. Winston always welcomed any new help against Talon and after performing some background checks he let them join them in the fight against Talon. What non of them had expected was the Bastion that Torbjorn had found.

Winston was reluctant to allow the Bastion into the Watchpoint and even more reluctant to allow it to help them in the field, especially since during the entire Omnic crisis they were considered the enemy. He wasn't the only one to think this, everyone was a little wary of it, even Torb himself. This Bastion was a relic from the war and a complete unknown. Yet this one was different and once Winston allowed it to "live" at the Watchpoint, everyones concerns started to disappear. Genji had watched over the Omnic and spoken to it a great many times. Perhaps his time with Zenyatta had helped but the Bastion seemed to listen. Even Lena had helped out from time to time, though helped may of been an overstatement. Either way, the Bastion understood that Talon were now the enemy.

Leading the team was Reinhardt, who would of preferred to have backup from the security at Volskaya. However Zarya had persuaded them to evacuate, stating how they wouldn't stand a chance against Talon. Surprisingly they had quickly agreed with her much quicker than she expected, almost too quick and so they were the only ones left to defend the factory.

The team had positioned themselves at their assigned defensive areas, ready for the Talon assault that was incoming. The plans had indicated that the attack was planned for 14:00 and Lena was scouting ahead. The team were awaiting her signal that Talon were approaching. Genji had positioned himself at the ledge overlooking the ocean. If anyone tried to flank them, Genji would stop them. Reinhardt, DVa and Zarya were at the main entrance, ready to soak up the enemy fire. Mei was a little further back but still had view of the door, ready to put up an ice wall if needed and to fire into the attackers. McCree had taken the high ground on the left of the entrance. If any attackers managed to get through he would quickly pick them off. Torb had set up towards the back of Objective A, just in case the invaders managed to break through and was going around supplying armour to all the defenders. Bastion had set up in turret form behind Reinhardt's shield, ready to cut down anyone foolish enough to try and break through the large entrance. Lucio was right behind Torb, speed boosting him around and was ready to provide limited healing to the team. Mercy meanwhile was ready to provide more focused medical support to the team but was right now trying to contact Winston at Gibraltar.

"Winston are you there?" No reply. "Winston? Athena can you hear me?" There was still silence. "I still can't raise Winston or Athena." Angela said to the rest of the team over comms. Communications to Gibraltar had gone down almost two hours ago. While Winston may of accidentally caused it, he would of fixed it by now. At least they still had comms with each other, otherwise this operation would be a lot harder than it already was.

"I hope Winston's alright. This isn't like him all" Lena said over comms. She still didn't see any movement outside of the factory and it was approaching the planned time of attack.

"I'm sure he's alright Lena" Angela replied "I'm worried too but we can't let that distract us."

"yeah your right..." Lena replied before letting out a large breath. Of course she was worried, Winston was one of her closest friends. On top of that, without a connection to Gibraltar, they didn't have any tatical information about the enemy from Athena. Without this, they were completely in the dark.

As Lena sat on a balcony, overlooking the building acting as Talon's temporary base of operations, she noticed one of the doors open. She quickly got up and looked closely at the open door. Shortly afterwards Reaper stepped out, followed by a group of troops. "Heads up guys, Talon's on their way!" she quickly said before blinking back towards the defensive line.

"Okay everyone, get ready." Reinhardt said to the team as he activated his barrier.

Reaper walked out from the temporary Talon base followed by a large amount of troops. Talon's plan was to extract files from the facility, blueprints for a new mech being produced. It was still in the experimental phase but Talon knew it had the potential to be a very powerful machine. However, as expected, Overwatch had other ideas.

As he walked towards the main entrance, with a small army behind him, he pulled out his shotguns and prepared to fire on any defenders. As Widowmaker grappled up the building to gain a vantage point she activated her thermal vision.

"Wait!"

Reaper groaned. "What?" He was just about to step out of cover to attack whoever was there.

"They have a Bastion set up right around that corner."

Reaper groaned again. "Then kill it."

"Its set up right next to a wall, I can't get a shot off that will do enough damage before it can repair itself.

Reaper now grunted in frustration. "Where did they find a Bastion?" he said before looking around for a particular person. "Where's Sombra when you need her?" he said aloud, knowing how this had become an inside joke to her now.

Just as he said that, Sombra appeared next to him. "Been here all along." Reaper simply stared at her for a moment while she simply smiled back at him.

"You've done that seven times now." Reaper said to her, disregarding the fact that there was a Bastion literally sitting around the corner.

"But it's still funny. Anyway what do you need me to do?"

"Take care of that Bastion, otherwise these troops will die within the first ten seconds of the attack."

"Hey hang on..." a trooper went to object but was met with the glare of Reaper.

"Do you want to go deal with it?" Reaper asked the trooper. They had come to expect this for him. The last guy who back talked Reaper ended up dead. Reaper threw him out of the dropship they were in, heading back to base after a mission against Overwatch failed. Talon leadership had come to expect this whenever they placed a unit under Reaper's command and while they weren't fond of Reaper killing their own troops, he didn't do it often enough to argue. Not that anyone was brave enough to argue with him in the first place.

"Um... no I'm sure your right... sorry." Reaper simply stepped closer to the soldier, causing him to back away, before turning back to Sombra.

"As I said, go deal with it, your in the strongest position to do so."

Sombra then pulled out her translocator. "Mind pulling this up Widow?" Without a reply Widow's grappling hook came down from the rooftop and attached to the device. She quickly pulled it up to her before dropping it on the rooftop. Sombra then appeared next to Widow. "Thanks."

Sombra proceeded to walk towards the edge of the building before throwing her translocator down into the area Overwatch were defending in. She teleported down just out of sight before going invisible and walking behind the Bastion. "I'm in position."

Reaper prepared to move in. "Do it"

Within a second Sombra hacked the Bastion, forcing it out of its turret configuration. The Bastion started to bleep loudly, alerting the rest of Overwatch what had happened.

"We've been breached!" Reinhardt shouted before his shield dropped unexpectedly. He looked behind him and saw a woman in purple wave at him, before teleporting away to an unknown location.

Reaper took advantage of what Sombra had done. Turning into black smoke and taking the corner in an instance. Before the defenders even knew it Reaper was shooting at them. Reaper completely ignored Reinhardt, instead opting to beline towards DVa. She activated her defence matrix to stop his shots but was instead hit in the back.

"Sniper! Watch out!" she shouted.

McCree looked up towards the roof of the building opposite and saw Widowmaker aimed in on DVa . She soon saw him however and lined up a shot on him. He moved quickly to the right, rolling just in time to avoid a shot from her sniper, forcing him into cover.

Reaper now switched targets. With the Meka badly damaged he turned to the Bastion, which had started to set up again. He fired two rounds before going into wraith form, avoiding an onslaught of bullets. Sombra meanwhile appeared behind it, firing into the back of the turret and forcing the Bastion to start self repairing itself. Mercy quickly appeared above the Bastion, on top of the small structure in the middle of Objective A, with her healing beam focused on the Omnic. The Bastion knew it was beaten in this location and stood up, moving away from Reaper and towards the turret Torb had placed.

Reaper now left his wraith form and took aim at Mercy. He couldn't take the shot before Tracer appeared behind him and began in firing at him. He quickly turned around and fire at her, only for her to blink out of the way.

Sombra meanwhile had been stopped by Mei, who had blocked the other Talon forces from entering long enough for Reinhardt to regain his barrier. She had managed to get the drop on Sombra and aimed her weapon at her head. Sombra didn't notice in time and had no choice but to stop still, looking to her right and straight at Mei.

"Don't try anything." Mei said. While this was meant to be a threat, Sombra simply smiled.

"Oh I won't. She on the other hand might."

Mei had to think for a moment who 'she' was, before realising that it was Widowmaker. Mei quickly encased herself in ice, stopping a sniper round from hitting her straight in the head. Sombra took the opportunity to cloak and move into the building behind her.

"Thanks love." She said to Widow, knowing how this annoyed Widow.

"Don't say that again." Widow calmly stated, clearly irritated by the impression of Tracer. Speaking of Tracer she had her straight in her sights and prepared to take the killing shot. However she was kicked to the side, causing her to miss. She rolled to her left and quickly regained her footing to see Genji, who had climbed up the building after hearing there was a sniper. She quickly went to fire at him, only for him to pull out his deflecting sword. She knew this wasn't a fight she could win and instead grappled away to safety. Genji decided against chasing her upon hearing Reinhardt's orders.

"Fall back to Objective B!" He bellowed through the comms. This objective had fallen since the other Talon troops had managed to enter and had been weakening his barrier. There's was no way they could defend this point now after such an offensive but at least they now knew what to expect.

With his orders Overwatch reacted quickly. Tracer disengaged Reaper and blinked towards the main facility. Reinhardt and DVa followed close behind. The remaining heroes grouped up with Lucio and using speed boost retreated into the main facility. Genji meanwhile had disappeared since his battle on the roof.

Reaper threw his shotguns away and walked to the first objective. Torb's turret was still up but before it could fire, Widow shot and destroyed it. The rest of the Talon troops grouped up with Reaper, with Sombra being the last to appear.

"See, no one was killed. We're far more competent than you give us credit for." The same soldier from before now spoke with confidence. Reaper meanwhile groaned in anger. He knew the troops had done basically nothing, only engaging Reinhardt in order to keep him on the defensive.

"Widowmaker, target to my left."

The trooper looked to his left and saw no one, only to realise that Reaper meant him. "No wait!..." that was all he could say before he was shot in the left shoulder. Reaper now walked over, pushing the trooper back onto the ground and stepping on the shoulder that took the bullet.

It may of been an understatement to say Reaper was pissed off with the arrogance of this one trooper. "Now are you going to shut up? Or should I just kill you right now?" Reaper looked up for a moment towards Sombra "Could you check that the security's down Sombra? Thanks." The sarcastic tone marked that Reaper was in a very foul mood.

He now looked back down at the trooper "Now, stop being so arrogant and maybe I won't shoot you." That was enough of a warning and the trooper nodded, fear in his eyes, which were watering due to the pain. Reaper let him go and walked away, the trooper helped up by the rest of the soldiers.

"Security's down, we're clear to advance." Sombra said while looking at her mobile computer screen.

"Good." Reaper replied before turning back to the troops. "Move up to position two and await my signal." They didn't need telling twice, rushing off towards the next staging point. Widow meanwhile grappled down off the roofs and grouped up with Reaper and Sombra. Reaper nodded at Widow, his way of thanking her for shooting the annoying trooper.

"We work with idiots sometimes." Sombra nodded in agreement while Reaper simply remained silent. The three of them now walked over to the other troops, who had grouped up just outside of the main production facility. Without being asked Widow activated her thermal vision to analyse the defence.

"They've changed up their defensive strategy, now their all focused in the middle of the facility. Their positioning makes it difficult for me to get a good shot on anyone."

"Then I'll flank around and kill them all in one swoop." Reaper said.

"Negative" Widow replied. "They have people watching the flanking points, they'd be able to react in time."

Reaper thought for a moment. "Sombra, pull up the factory layout."

With a virtual map of the facility in front of him, Reaper began to consider the options available. The Talon troops encircled the map, one trooper in particular keeping his distance from Reaper and Widow.

"There's no easy way in..."

"Perhaps I can help with that."

All the Talon forces quickly looked upwards towards the source of the interruption, to see a robot hovering above them. All the Talon soldiers had their weapons aimed at it, along with Widow. Reaper simply stared at the robot while Sombra decided now was a good time to pull out her phone and wait for this situation to conclude.

Reaper analysed the robot now hovering above him. It slowly lowered before landing in front of him

"And what exactly are you meant to be?" Reaper asked the robot.

"And more importantly why do you want to help us?" Sombra added, looking up from her phone for a few moments before looking back at the screen.

"I am Ultron and lets just say we have a common enemy."

"You look like an Omnic and Omnic's aren't really..." said one of the troops but before he could continue Ultron interrupted.

"I am no Omnic!" He shouted back. "I'm nothing like one of your simple Omnic's. I could easily rewrite one without even trying!"

That got Sombra's attention. She closed the screen her phone was on and placed it back into her pocket. The fact that the robot just shouted back at someone for calling it an Omnic was interesting enough. What really gained her interest however was the fact it said it could rewrite one. She could find out anything on the planet, yet she had heard nothing about anything being built that could do this. Why then was it approaching Talon saying that it wanted to help them? Surely it could do whatever it wanted to do on its own right? Sombra made a mental note to herself to look into this once they had completed the mission.

Ultron, after silencing the trooper that spoke up, turned to face Reaper. Thanks to the Overwatch database he knew everything about the three people in charge of this assault. All he needed to do was to persuade one of them and the rest would follow.

"Your a man on the edge of death, not able to pass. Your real name is Gabriel Reyes, former leader of Blackwatch, Overwatch's black op force. After the events at the Swiss headquarters you became who you are today, Reaper, seeking vengeance against Overwatch for what they did to you."

Reaper was left stunned. Only Sombra and Widow knew exactly who he was and, while it wasn't exactly a well guarded secret who Reaper really was at Talon, not many of the soldiers actually knew. It was possible that they simply didn't care, or the more likely reason was because they didn't dare dig into Reapers past, worried they'd come to regret it one day.

Ultron now turned to Widow. "Widowmaker, Talon's best assassin, enhanced in order to be the most efficient killer. Formerly you were..."

"Don't go there." Reaper said, cutting off Ultron. Ultron understood why Reaper had just told him to stop, Widow's history wasn't exactly a great one and despite her conditioning, Ultron knew that nothing was perfect. Perhaps it was possible to undo some of what has been done to her. Instead he decided to move onto Sombra.

"As for you Sombra, Overwatch's files don't have much... they know you exist, along with a few pictures, but you've done a good job staying off the grid. I have to ask how did you manage that?"

Sombra smiled before replying. "Everything can be hacked and everyone."

"Not everything." Ultron said. "You can't hack a brick now can you? Unless you have self aware bricks now. I for one cannot be hacked."

Sombra raised an eyebrow at him, clearly disagreeing with that statement. Ultron saw this immediately. "Try it, I can see you want to."

Sombra shrugged her shoulders before activating her hacking tool. She tried to hack into Ultron but could not get a connection. She tried again. Nothing.

"Here, let me even the odds a little, give you a chance at least."

She tried one more time and finally got a connection. However the firewall was like nothing she had ever seen before, constantly adapting and changing. No system she had hacked into before even came close to the security Ultron had. She tried everything she knew before deactivating her hacking tool.

"Not a simple Omnic then." She said, short on words to convey her confusion and wonder at what exactly stood in front of her. "I'm guessing you hacked into Overwatch then?"

"Security needs to be tightened." Ultron replied, giving Sombra the answer she needed. She already knew that Overwatch's security needed a little boost. After all, she had to make sure that they didn't have anything on her. Well anything major anyway .

Ultron now turned back to Reaper, he needed to get Reaper to help him if his plan was to succeed.

"Overwatch have shown themselves to be a problem for me. Now I know that you lot are attacking this place, though I don't know why and I need to capture it in order to build some reinforcements. Overwatch meanwhile are defending the thing both of us want. Our interests are aligned. I know of your hatred towards Overwatch so here's what I'm offering. I help you take over this facility completely, likely more than you were planning, as well as help Talon out in the future. In return, Talon help me out."

Reaper considered his offer. While Reaper didn't work for Talon exactly, he had gained enough pull in the organisation to agree to this. Ultron meanwhile pressed on with his attempt to persuade Reaper.

"You want Overwatch destroyed, all of their agents dead. I can help you accomplish this. Overwatch won't stand a chance against us. We'll tear them apart."

Reaper's hatred for Overwatch took over. If Ultron could help him destroy them, he was going to take his offer. "Fine, your in. Any ideas how to take this factory and then hold it?"

Ultron smiled, happy that his persuasion attempt worked on Reaper. Even if the others weren't sold, he knew they wouldn't object to him. Besides, helping take the facility may actually give them the proof they needed. He walked up to the large map of the facility and looked at it. "I'll handle holding the facility, I'm sure Talon have other plans and I can manage once I have the production line. As for taking it in the first place... I have a few ideas."

The Overwatch team had set up their defensive line. If they lost this objective it was all over. McCree still was on the high ground, though staying in cover to avoid a sniper shot and was also making sure no one flanked them from above. DVa was now watching the right. Torb had set up a turret and was now looking at the damage to the Meka. He concluded the damage wasn't too serious as long as she didn't take much more punishment in the back of the Meka, though he didn't have enough time to repair it. Lucio was watching the area to their left while also providing limited healing and speed boosts where needed. Tracer was also behind a wall to the left, waiting for an opportunity to flank Talon. The Bastion had set up in the middle of the Objective and the rest of Overwatch grouped around it. Reinhardt had his barrier up and was at the front of the group along with Zarya. Genji meanwhile had still not regrouped. The team assumed he was watching Talon and could not contact them, after all, it wouldn't be the first time.

After about 5 minutes, Reaper and Sombra, along with the Talon troops entered and began firing on Reinhardt's barrier. Widow meanwhile remained near the entrance, aimed in on the barrier and firing at it periodically. While Overwatch returned fire, the Talon forces ran towards the right, taking cover behind the nearby building and anything that happened to be in the middle of the battlefield. "Tracer they're all up front, flank them!" Reinhardt ordered. Tracer took off towards the left, walking up some stairs before blinking across the gap.

McCoy looked out of cover quickly before popping back into it. "Anyone else think its a bit odd Talon hasn't tried flanking us? Why is Widow, the one with the best chance at killing any of us, on the ground firing at Reinhardt's barrier?"

The team thought for a moment before realising what McCree was talking about. Tracer was likely walking straight into a trap.

"Tracer, fall back its a trap!" Reinhardt ordered but it was met with no reply. "Tracer come in." Nothing.

Mercy now tried to raise Tracer on the comms. "Lena, pick up, where are you?" Still no reply.

While they were frantically trying to contact Lena, Talon had begun to advance forward.

"Tracer will have to wait. Prepare for a fight." Reinhardt said.

As Lena had blinked around to flank Talon, she heard a noise, something metallic hitting the ground from behind her. She turned around, aiming her pulse pistols but saw nothing. Dismissing it as something falling over due to poor placement, she turned back around and began to walk forward. She was no more than two steps forward when she heard Reinhardt over the comms.

"Tracer, fall back its a trap!"

She reacted quickly turning back around, intending to blink back across the gap she just came over. However as she turned around, a large metallic fist hit her straight below her eye, the force knocking her on the floor. Lena was left dazed for a moment before being backhanded by the same, metallic hand, knocking her out instantly.

Ultron stood above the unconscious Tracer. The Overwatch files informed him of how mobile she was, so he considered knocking her out up close was a lot easier than trying to hit her with his weapons. Ultron's plan was to capture one of the agents and then force Overwatch to retreat, or better yet surrender. Now that he had the agent, he just needed to threaten Overwatch, using her as leverage. Just as he was about to pick her up, he saw a phone lying next to her. "Really?" he said aloud. Clearly it had fallen out of her pocket when he knocked her out. Out of curiosity, he picked it up and opened it. While there was a code needed to open it, Ultron didn't need to worry about it. "Oh come on. Your an agent of Overwatch and you have some much social media its untrue." Ultron was amazed on how much information could potentially be on this phone. However, before Ultron could continue looking on the phone, he was interrupted.

"I would put that down if I were you." Ultron looked up to see Genji standing nearby, one hand clutching his sword on his back. He considered his sword would be a better idea than his Shuriken.

"The cyborg ninja. You look like a discount Iron man." Genji simply stared back at Ultron. "Never mind, you don't know who that is."

Ultron now dropped Lena's phone before standing up and facing Genji. Unknown to Ultron, Genji had seen all the conversation he had with Talon.

"So, I'm guessing your the reason why Winston isn't answering us."

"Correct. Don't worry, the monkey is fine, though I left him a little something, just to inconvienece him. Now if you don't mind I have a factory to take over."

Ultron fired at Genji, who dodged the attack with ease. Genji proceeded to dash towards Ultron, engaging in hand to hand combat with him. After a few hits, Genji pulled out his smaller sword, using it to take some of Ultron's hits as well as return some of his own. After a small fight, Ultron managed to catch one of his attacks and threw Genji backwards. He remained on his feet, quickly regaining his balance. Before Ultron could advance however, an explosion happened behind him, sending him forwards, crashing to the floor.

"What was that?" Ultron looked behind him to see Tracer back on her feet as well as remains of a pulse bomb. Now he had the two most mobile Overwatch agents against him and he knew he couldn't win this fight. He stood back up before quickly flying away from the two agents.

"Thanks Genji."

"Your welcome miss Oxton."

Lena picked up her phone and placed it back into her jacket pocket, before touching below her eye, where she had been punched. There was now a large bruise present and Lena winced in pain when she touched it. "Angela's gonna fuss" she said to Genji, causing a small chuckle from him before he spoke up.

"The enemy are not watching their flank, i suggest we attack."

Meanwhile, the battle was getting worse for Overwatch. Reinhardt's barrier was close to failing. Thanks to one final shot from Widow, the barrier fell and Reinhardt fell back. Torb's turret was quickly destroyed with Torb unable to repair the damage quick enough. Bastion was still firing at the Talon troops, however he was interrupted when Sombra appeared next to him. Bastion quickly stood up before Sombra could attack or hack and began to fire at her. Reaper had pushed forward and was fighting DVa and Zarya. After McCree appeared from above, Reaper fell back a bit, before being reinforced by the Talon troops.

Widow meanwhile had moved up to a nearby ledge and was aimed in on a target. While McCree had dropped down to help those engaging Reaper, Mei was causing problems for the troops. Widow had a perfect headshot but as she fired, her weapon was once again pushed away. This time, despite the shot being interrupted, the bullet hit Mei in the shoulder, the force knocking her to the ground. Widow looked at her attacked to see Genji again. Widow simply didn't have patience to deal with him again and so grappled over to another ledge.

Mercy saw what had happened to Mei and, after calling Lucio over to maintain the healing, rushed over to her, engaging her healing beam. Before long, Overwatch were being overrun. The Talon troops fired at the smaller agents, the ones Reaper wasn't attacking. A round hit Mercy and she dropped down onto her knees. As she was approached by some of the Talon soldiers, Tracer appeared behind them and threw a pulse bomb. The resulting explosion took out the small squad of soldiers.

Reinhardt now moved back up and now had his barrier back up, protecting the wounded troops.

"You okay Ang?" Lena asked as she helped Angela back up.

"Yeah, thanks." She was worn out, struggling to keep up with the medical needs of the group.

Just as Angela was back up, the Talon forces stopped attacking. Reaper had vanished but had left Zarya and DVa worse for wear. They were all wounded and the two healers simply couldn't keep up. Genji now regrouped with the team, though there was little that he could do, the team were beaten.

"Overwatch, your defence has failed, now surrender and your lives will be spared." Ultron now appeared, flying above the Talon forces. Reaper also appeared with the Talon troops, throwing his guns away and pulling out new ones.

Overwatch all moved behind Reinhardt's barrier, Mercy helping Mei back up while tending to her gunshot wound. "We can't win." Mercy said with regret it her voice. Whatever had gone wrong here today had cost them dearly. Now it seemed like there was only two choices. With no contact with Gibraltar, the nearby drop ship simply couldn't get to them automatically. There was no way out.

"What do we do?" DVa asked.

"Drop your weapons." Ultron replied, even though the question wasn't intended for him. "It's a good start."

The Overwatch members looked at each other before Tracer made a move. She took her pulse pistols and went to place them on the ground. The other agents went to do the same before their comms came alive with sound.

"Connection restored, situation critical, all agents prepare for immediate evacuation, reinforcements inbound!"

It was Athena, "Winston must of fixed whatever issue he had" they thought. Though what did he mean by reinforcements?

Within a few seconds the Overwatch dropship roared over them, stopping and hovering in place. "Athena we can't move, Talon's surrounded us." Mercy said.

"One moment." Athena replied. Meanwhile Reaper had begun to move forward, raising his shotguns and firing at the barrier protecting all the agents. However he stopped dead in his tracks when the speakers on the dropship began playing music, simply staring at the ship.

"Um... Shoot to Thrill? Really Athena?" Said Tracer.

Everyone, Talon and Overwatch alike, were looking up at the ship, confused on why the song was playing, before the sound of something approaching from the air could be heard. Ultron thought for a moment before he realised who it was.

"Watch out, incoming!"

His warning was too late, as Reaper was blown backwards by the repulsors of the Iron Man suit. Iron Man landed in front of the barrier and stood up, before activating all of his weapons and aiming them at Talon. With that, the music stopped and the dropship moved away, landing nearby in order to extract the team.

"Oh for gods sake!" Ultron shouted, annoyed by what he just saw. "Why can't you just leave me alone? You just had to follow me."

"Well, you did take our Captain." Stark replied.

Ultron now landed in front of Stark. "Didn't you already do that entrance anyway? Swear I saw something on the internet when I had access."

"Respect the classics. What are you doing teaming up with terrorists?"

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Overwatch are my enemy, so Talon is my friend."

"Right... what are you planning?"

"I'm glad you asked that because, like last time you asked, I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan to you."

Stark was simply buying time. Talon were all eyeing Iron Man, weapons aimed at him. Reaper had stood back up, but instead of attacking Overwatch, stood and watched the scene play out, curious at who this was exactly. Overwatch meanwhile were taking advantage of the distraction. With all of Talon's attention on Iron Man, no one would notice them slip away. That's what they thought anyway. Widow had her scope aimed in on Iron man's head, however she saw movement behind him and realised Overwatch were fleeing.

"Overwatch are escaping." She said down the comms.

"Your stalling to protect Overwatch aren't you?" Ultron asked.

"Surprised you didn't notice sooner." Stark replied.

"Yeah, honestly I'm kinda shocked your here, so forgive me for not noticing this once."

Reaper moved forward, raising his guns to fire at Iron Man but Stark charged his repulsor and fired at him. Reaper wraithed, avoiding the shot which went on to hit a soldier behind him. Stark attempted to fire a missile from his left hand, but Ultron managed to hit his hand away, causing it to miss its target and hit a building behind. In the chaos, Reinhardt had dropped his barrier and ran towards the nearby shuttle.

Stark now took flight and turned towards the shuttle. Widow reacted to this quickly and with her super precise aim, shot at his left foot, damaging the thruster and causing Stark to lose control for a short time.

"Friday?"

"High velocity round, likely a powerful sniper, left leg thruster is down." She reported. Stark quickly landed next to the dropship, he didn't want to risk being shot out of the sky if he lost another thruster. He looked behind him to see Talon sprinting towards them.

"GO!" He shouted as he ran on board. Athena obviously heard, closing the doors as the engines roared to life. The shuttle flew away from the factory, leaving Talon victorious.

"Get a dropship now!" Reaper wasn't finished yet with Overwatch yet, they were wounded and he wasn't prepared to let them get away this time. "Sombra, extract the files we need, Widow cover her." He now turned to the soldiers, pointing at three of them. "You three with me, the rest of you stay and protect the facility." With that an armed Talon dropship landed next to them. Reaper and the three troops boarded and the ship gave chase after Overwatch.

While Reaper was chasing Overwatch, Ultron was walking to the main controls for the factory, ready to activate it and build more forms. His plan had worked perfectly, without any tactical data and his timely arrival, Overwatch were unable to effectively hold the factory.

Back on the Overwatch dropship, the team had all sat down, each worn out from the battle. Angela was tending to everyone's wounds, she had just finished healing up Mei, before turning to Lena.

"I'm fine Ang stop worrying."

"Really? So you won't mind me touching right here." Angela touched under Lena's eye, right where her large bruise was, causing Lena to flinch in pain.

"Ow, okay it hurts a bit" Lena admitted. Angela aimed her healing staff at Lena and activated it. Within a few seconds the large bruise had disappeared. Lena smiled at Angela, who returned the gesture before moving on to McCree, who had taken a few hits from Reaper. Lena now walked up to the cockpit, where Iron Man was currently standing, talking to someone over the radio. As she got closer, she could overhear some of the conversation.

"The team's a little beaten up but their ok."

"That's good to hear. Thank you." Lena recognised the second voice as Winston's. "I've set the dropship to return to Gibraltar. Any issues and Lena can take control."

"Right, who's Lena again?"

"Heya." Lena interrupted softly. Iron Man turned around from the console while Winston spoke up.

"Lena, how is everyone?"

"Well as...um..." Lena pointed towards Stark and he realised that she was asking for his name.

"Tony, Tony Stark."

"Well as Tony said we took a few hits but we're okay. We couldn't hold Volskaya though. Talon won."

"Don't beat yourselves up over it" Winston replied. "That robot, Ultron, he's not exactly from around here."

"What do you mean by that luv?" Lena asked.

"I'll explain when you all get back, it's... complicated. Stay safe." With that Winston hung up. Lena now turned to Stark.

"Hey, thanks... you appeared at just the right time."

"Don't mention it."

Suddenly, without warning, the console stated bleeping and flashing red. Lena rushed over and sat at the controls, turning off the autopilot before twisting the ship to the left. Just as she did this, a missile passed right by them, before detonating after missing its target. The sudden change in direction caught everyone of guard, all of them falling towards the left of the ship.

"Everyone strap in!" Lena shouted "it's going to be a bumpy ride."
