{Gabriel: Stop by my office when in 20 minutes I have a new joint project for you}

{Kallista: Ok. Be there soon}

Kallista shoved her cell phone into her back pocket as she turned her attention back to Magnus' screen.

"Hmm...was that a message from Gabe?" Magnus asked as he focused on the screen in front of him.

"Why-"

"Hmmm...private messages from Gabi Kalli?" Malik teased

"Hey-"

"Do you think he sends her nudes? Or she sends some back?" Magnus questioned

"You know that's a good question…" Malik trailed off

"Ok so-" Kallista started

"Nudes?" Aleks spoke up as he glanced up from his screen.

"Guys that's Director Kaines' personal life. Nudes or not," Linda spoke up.

"Let's be real, who else could make her smile like that I mean who else would it be?" James spoke up.

" I know right? Definitely Gabi," Malik laughed

"James get out. And all of you shut up," Kallista finally spoke up.

"Aww Boss," James feigned being hurt, but soon was burst out in laughter.

"ahem...It's a new project isn't it Director?" Aleks spoke up. Kallista turned towards the man's desk.

"It sounds like it. A joint project," Kallista replied.

"Ah...I heard R&D was freaking out about it when I stopped by to talk to Sabina and Gwen," Aleks spoke up.

"A new project you say? Do tell," Malik spoke up.

"It is but no. All of you keep your mouths shut until I know what's happening. Got it?" Kallista said as she looked at everyone in the room.

"No promises Kalli," Malik spoke up.

"En serio Malik," Kallista said as she crossed her arms.

"We need to keep sensitive information tight-lipped. Especially since the Overwatch's database was compromised and information about Blackwatch was leaked. We all know what we are doing and have little to no room for mistakes. So let's not have shit like that happen again," Kallista said as she looked at everyone in the room.

"Roger,"

"Glad we all understand. Now don't get into any shit while I'm gone," Kallista said as she made her way towards the door.

"Also," Kallista started as she stood in the doorway.

"Keep your noses out of my business and that goes for Reyes too,"

The group watched as the woman disappeared from the room before turning to each other with knowing looks.

"They are totally banging," James commented nonchalantly.

"Mmmhmm," Magnus spoke up.

"...what did it say?" Linda asked quietly.

"I thought you were about about 'that's Director Kaines' personal life' hm Linda?" Magnus spoke up.

"I-I can be curious too," Linda spoke up.

"Sounds like you missed your chance, Linda," Magnus replied.


Kallista knocked the door to Gabriel's office before entering, she opened the door to see Gabriel, Jesse and an unknown man in his office.

"Oh? Am I interrupting a party or something?" Kallista said as she quickly glanced over the three men.

"No. You're fine. Come in," Gabriel replied and motioned the woman in. Kallista nodded as she entered the room, her attention focused on the unknown man next to Jesse. He was clearly half machine and half human.

"So this is Blackwatch's new agent that was hinted at…a cyborg," Kallista said as looked at Gabriel and then to McCree

"Hey there Kalli," Jesse nodded to the woman. Kallista nodded to the man and turned her attention to Gabriel.

"Kallista," Gabriel started.

The unknown cyborg stood silently only giving her a nod of acknowledgment.

"Reyes...you called me to check out the new agent?" Kallista asked as she continued to look over the man, his crimson eyes following her icy blue ones. Kallista noticed the man's eyes following hers causing her to stop.

"Something like that. As you can see his systems and a vital point are currently exposed and can be compromised. Find out those weak points and work with the R&D Department, Angie and Dr. Hasibuan to develop a better system and suit for him,"

"Sounds good...I just need the approval for it and I'll get started on something," Kallista said as her eyes met his crimson ones again.

"Does this one have a name?" Kallista asked sarcastically as she looked over the cyborg again. Right away she could see a weak point, the red tubes coming from his back to his chest, 90 percent of his body was metal while the remaining 10 was of his old body.

"Genji...Genji Shimada," Genji spoke up.

"Oh…" Kallista said as she crossed her arms. First she noticed the mans almost muted voice, his vocal cords seemed to strain when he spoke. What was more interesting was the fact that he was the younger heir to the Shimada Clain. She knew of the Shimada clan, she had been tasked to finding out more information on the clan before handing it over to the recon team

"When did this happen?" Kallista looked up at Gabriel and Jesse.

"Dun look at me, Kalli. I know nothin'," Jesse replied and shrugged,

"It happened, that's all that matters. He's been under Angela's and Dr. Hasibuan' care since...he arrived," Gabriel replied cautiously, he chose his words carefully. Kallista quickly glanced at the man picking up the hint that Genji was a secret, and to keep quiet. She made a mental note to look into it later, she knew this wasn't something that her, the intel department or the recon team knew about it. It must have been something with Overwatch.

"Dr. Hasibuan...Seraphina Hasibuan? ," Kallista asked

"Yes," Genji replied.

"All the documentation?"

"Sabina has all of the necessary documents for you. Work on this as soon as possible," Gabriel replied.

"Sounds good to me," Kallista said and turned to leave.

"Kallista," Gabriel started.

"Hm?"

"Head over to the Medbay before you take him to R&D. Dr. Hasibuan requested to check up on him" Gabriel said as he nodded to her.

"Ok...let's go Genji," Kallista said as she turned her attention to her data pad. Genji looked at the two men before he went over to the woman. Gabriel and Jesse watched as the two left the office.

"An' yer sure this is ok? I feel like she might end up hurtin' him more," Jesse commented as he rubbed the back of his head.

"This is one her specialties. We have one of the best hackers in the world working on figuring out his weaknesses and the solutions to prevent him from being hacked. You have the best developers in Overwatch creating a suit for him and then you have two of the best doctors that Overwatch can offer. I'm pretty sure he'll be fine," the man said as he took out his cellphone.

"I guess yer right," Jesse replied.

"I'm supposed to be worrying and you're doing it for me," Gabriel chuckled.

"Am not, jus curious," Jesse replied sheepishly.

"Then why are you standing around my office? Get out," Gabriel said as he made his way to his desk chair.


"Genji Shimada...of the Shimada clan," Kallista said as focused on her data pad. Genji remained silent as he walked next to her.

"Your vitals and your systems as integrated quite well especially for a prototype body, but can be exposed pretty quickly. I can see why they would want a new suit for you. There are so many ways that you can be disabled, killed and you're practically naked" Kallista said.

"How long will this take?" Genji asked.

"It depends," Kallista replied as she glanced at him.

"I see," Genji replied.

"Why?" Kallista asked.

"I do not want to sit around and become a test subject for Overwatch," Genji replied. Kallista sighed, she remembered when she was the same way, itching to get out on the field and do actually do something.

To be useful.

"Well...seeing how you are more valuable to Overwatch on the field instead of in a lab," Kallista replied.

"You have something they need, they won't keep you here for long,"

"That is reassuring," Genji replied quietly.

Kallista knew of the Shimada clan, and how much power they had in Japan ranging from the Tokyo prefecture down to the Hiroshima prefecture. Overwatch was desperate to have a double agent to infiltrate the clan, but what surprised her the most was the fact that Overwatch was in the business of bringing people back from the dead, let alone someone from the Shimada clan.

"Director Kaines, correct?" Genji started pulling Kallista from her thoughts.

"I'm not one for formalities, Kallista is fine," Kallista replied.

"Kallista, are you close to Commander Reyes?" Genji asked.

"Where did you come up with that conclusion?" Kallista asked.

"He speaks highly of you and your accomplishments," Genji replied.

"Oh? Well...I am the best hacker he has in the Blackwatch so he better," Kallista smirked.

"I see…" Genji replied.

"Now I would like to ask you a question,"

"Go ahead," Kallista said as they stopped a few feet in front of the Medbay entrance.

"How would you feel if someone you love, someone you trusted...let's say Commander Reyes is your lover...and he stabs you in the back for Overwatch. How would you feel?" Genji asked.

Kallista's eyes quickly met Genji's crimson ones searching for a possible reason for his question. She didn't know how long Genji had been in Overwatch, let alone Blackwatch to know anything about her and their commander. It seemed random but at the same time right on the dot.

"How would you feel?" Genji asked again.

"...angry, hurt, betrayed," Kallista said cautiously as if she was choosing her words.

"So then...you understand...the burning rage and shame inside of me when you know someone close to you stabbed you in the back...and you saw it coming," Genji said as he entered the med bay leaving Kallista outside to think on their small conversation.

"That was unexpected," Kallista said to herself as she ran a hand through her hair.

She didn't know much about Genji but was going to make sure that she did, it was going to take some prying conventional and unconventional, but she was going to find out. Sighing to herself she followed after Genji.
