The Sky Dragon God of Overwatch
(A Fairy Tail & Overwatch story)
Task 10: A Reunion?
The flight have been long do to an unexpected weather changes but nonetheless they have manage to return to Gibraltar in just under seven hours of stopping from town to town to refuel Emily's shuttle, but it took way too long for Chelia's liking. The shuttle slowly descend onto the landing pad and gently landed, Angela announce their arrival and opens the shuttle door. Both Zenyatta and Chelia carefully pick up Genji and transported him towards the infirmary with Angela leading them to it. The sky god slayer got more nervous and nervous the closer she's reaching the infirmary, to the point that her hand started to get pretty sweaty. They soon reaches the front of the infirmary and-
"What happen to the wall?" Genji asked, staring at the tape that poorly tried to conceal the inside. Chelia caught sight of blue hair in between the gaps.
"Accident from a misunderstanding" was the only thing Angela willing to say before she stops and turn to look at Genji "Before I forget, Lena wanted me to tell you that she said hi"
"Oh, that's wonderful. Where is she anyway?" he asked, looking around the building. Angela snorts and ducks down the tape "You'll see, trust me she isn't that far from us" they soon follow her in and saw that Lena is sleeping on Angela's chair, drool running down her mouth as she snores loudly. The blonde haired doctor shook her awake "Lena wake up, I need to use this table" the brown haired woman groan and turn her head to the side, Angela sigh and push her chair away from the table and into the corner of the room and address the three new arrival "Put Genji next to Wendy's bed and I'll take care of Genji"
Zenyatta nodded his head and was about to move his student to his bed but notice that Chelia haven't move the omnic monk saw his youngest student stare at one particular bed, more specifically Wendy's bed "Young Chelia?" the god slayer was jolted out of her thoughts before looking at her master.
"Huh? What is it master?" the young slayer asked, eyes drifting towards the first bed. Zenyatta smiled(?) at the pink haired girl "Help me move Genji to the bed, then you may be by your friend side" Chelia eyes lit up and nodded her head. Both of them move towards the bed and slowly rested Genji on top of it. After that the god slayer moves towards the other bed and stare at her friend bedridden form. Wendy looks so peaceful, her chest raising and falling as her lungs inhale and exhale air, the beeping sound of the heart monitor indicates a steady rhythm, it's as if she's merely sleeping. The pink haired girl let out a watery smile and gently grabs the unconscious girl hand "Hey Wendy….. We're finally together again…." She sadly said, lifting the blue haired girl hand to her cheek, Wendy didn't answer as expected. Chelia then heard something being out down next to her, she turn her head to the side and saw Angela putting a chair next to her and silently left to tend Genji, the sky god slayer smile with gratitude and sit on it "Wendy…. Now that I'm here can you please wake up?" no response "Doctor Ziegler said that you were unconscious for a week….. it's time to wake up…." tears slowly fall down her cheek as her best friend didn't respond, frustration and helplessness begin to built up inside of her. The pink haired girl put Wendy's hand down and raises both of her hand hovers it just above the younger girl torso, blue-ish light began to emit as she uses her healing magic to help the recovery faster. Minutes have gone by and sweat began to form on her forehead, she begins to notice that the sky dragon slayer body is rejecting her magic so she stops and gritted her teeth "Why? Why isn't my magic working?!" she asked herself as she slumps into her chair. She hiccups as she cries, she was so useless, and this wouldn't have happen if she was being more vigilant in their mission. She lays her head on the side of the bed and closes her eyes, tired both physically and mentally.
On the other side of the bed, Angela closes the curtain separating the two beds to give herself and the two girls some privacy. The blonde haired doctor took her clipboard and scans it, Genji turn his head to the side, his mask remove and was now placed on top of the table. Zenyatta notice his student staring at the curtain "Are you feeling guilty my pupil"
"Yeah…" he answers "I was the one who did that to Chelia's friend and in turn I hurt her"
"Do not blame yourself to harshly Genji. You are only doing what you think was right" the cyborg gave his master a side glance.
"That doesn't change the fact that I hurt a young girl master. I could have accidentally killed her and Chelia will be devastated" he said eyes downward, unable to make eye contact with his master. Zenyatta's beads float in circles as he hums, thinking his words carefully.
"Even if you are blaming yourself Genji, do not forget that young Wendy herself is to be blamed for her own injuries" Genji turn his head towards his master, eyes widen in shock.
"That's not what happen master. I was the one who injured her" the omnic monk blankly stares at his student.
"You have tried to reason with her and yet she still attacks you. She could have stop but she did not. Both of your injuries could have been prevented if she simply stops"
"But… She's innocent"
"No she is not, my pupil. Young Chelia had told us stories about her friend, and from what I could gather from all of it is that she will undoubtedly kill you if given the chance" the omnic monk said seriously "Do not let her age clouded your judgment, she maybe young but her hands are as tainted as yours"
Genji was eerily silent, contemplating on his master words. Zenyatta pressing his palm together "I will leave you to your thoughts for now. Goodbye for now" the omnic hovers out of the closed off bed and went somewhere else. The cyborg stares at the ceiling, thinking back towards his fight. As much as he hated to admit it his master is correct, he saw the way Wendy looks at him, it's a keen to a predator waiting restlessly to kill its prey, who knows what will happen to him if he didn't use his dragon. He then realizes that maybe Wendy isn't as innocent as she appears. But before he can continue on he heard Angela sigh and put her notepad on the table, next to his mask. She begin to prepare all the equipment and the replacement component on two separate work tables "Alright, let's get-"
"Angela wait" Genji said. Angela stops what she's doing and looks at him questioning "How much do you know Wendy"
The blonde haired doctor gazes at him from the corner of her eyes and slowly put down her equipment "It depends on what you want to asked"
"What kind of girl do you think she is?" he asked. Angela begins to think.
"Destructive and caring" was her answer, quick and simple.
"Why would you think that?" he asked, slightly confused. The blonde haired doctor let out a sigh, remembering their very first encounter.
"When she first woke up she was having a 'tantrum' and destroys our wall. Because she was concern about her friend" Angela answers staring at the curtain and lightly rubs her back.
"So she was the one who did that to the wall. After seeing what she can do first hand I'm not that surprise" Genji said to himself. Angela caught what he said but remains silent "Do you know anything about her past? And what do you think about it"
The blonde doctor went quite and closes her eyes "It's surprisingly sad if I'm being honest. The stories she told us made me realize something quite…. Unnerving, let's put it that way"
"Unnerving? Why?" the cyborg asked, intrigue. Angela opens her eyes and made eye contact with him.
"When we were arguing about Wendy's trustworthiness I may or may not indirectly suggest that she is a soldier" she took a deep breath "And I was right. She's a child soldier"
"I…. can actually see it. The way she fights although still amateurish and unrefined is effective enough that any normal people without fighting experience or new recruits will be soundly defeated" Genji said and then look downwards to stare at his body. Angela notice what he was doing and confirmed her theory "So I was right. You were the one who Wendy fought"
The cyborg smiled at her "Yes, although the only reason why she almost defeat me was because I wasn't prepare to fight someone with that kind of capability"
"And the reason why you survive is because she hasn't fully recovered from her injuries and was fighting with half her strength" she dryly counters. He nervously laughs and mumbles a quite 'I guess'. The blonde haired doctor just shook her head and grabs her equipments "Now let's get started"
"Of course, go on a head Doctor Ziegler. I'm at your Mercy" Genji teased. Angela just rolled her eyes before letting out a tiny smile.
Lena groans as she slowly awake from sleep, she open her eyes but quickly close it again from the intense light. She rubs her eyes to get rid of her drowsiness and open it once again. Once she did she notices two things. First, she's in a dimly lit corner away from Angela's table. And second, she notices that there was someone new in the room, a pink haired girl sleeping next to her unconscious teammate. Raising her eyebrows in confusion the brown haired woman stands up from her sitting position and went towards the mysterious girl side, she stands behind her with curiosity, Lena had never seen this girl before so she decide to wake her up to get some answer. She extended her hand towards the young girl shoulder, her hand was about to touch the mysterious girl shoulder and-
"I would not do that if I were you" a calming smooth metallic voice tells her. Lena nearly shrieks in before covering her mouth with both hands, she turn her head towards the source of the voice and found a hovering omnic monk who chuckles in amusement "My sincere apology. I did not mean to frighten you Miss Oxton"
"I… Its okay mate, you didn't mean to do it so I forgive you. Aaaaand how do you know my name Mr…." the brown haired woman asked looking at the omnic suspiciously, she doesn't know why but the omnic looks familiar to her but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"My name is Tekhartha Zenyatta, Miss Oxton. And as to how I know you… Doctor Ziegler informs me in our flight to your base" he answers truthfully. Lena eyes widen when she finally remember why he looks familiar (And him giving out his name also helps).
"Wa- Wait! You said your name is Tekhartha Zenyatta right? Does that mean you know Mondatta?" the brown haired woman asked, she needs to know. Zenyatta looks surprise at her but only for a moment.
"Indeed I know him. He and I are- were brothers" the omnic monk correct himself, he almost let it slip. Lena bit down her lip and look down on the ground "Miss Oxton?"
"I'm…. I'm sorry Zenyatta… I… couldn't protect Mondatta from being assassinated by Amél- no. Widowmaker. If only I tried harder then…" the brown haired woman said full of regret and shame. Zenyatta stare at her "We cannot change the past Miss Oxton. While my brother passing is saddening and he will be greatly miss, what have been done have been done and we need to accept it. Even if it brought great pain to us"
Lena turn her gaze towards him sadly "Do you miss him?"
"Always, and that is why I will continue to spread my teaching, he would not have been happy with me if I continue to mourn him" the omnic monk exclaims. The brown haired woman let out a tiny smile before something crosses her mind.
"Zenyatta, if you're part of the Shambali's then why haven't I or other people I guess… know about you" she asked. He let out a hum and hovers closer to her.
"Unlike my brothers and sisters, I disapprove off their method. They believe that spreading their teaching publicly will fix the omnics and human tension while I believe that interpersonal connection and engagement is the greatest teacher. That is why we part ways" he explains.
"I see… That's interesting. Good to know" Lena said, not knowing how to answer. Zenyatta chuckles "Are there anymore question that you would like to ask me Miss Oxton?"
Cheeks turning red from embarrassment the brown haired woman clear her throat "Actually I do….. Do you know who she is?" she points her finger to the sleeping girl beside her.
"I do. She is Chelia Blendy, a citizen of Earthland and the sky god slayer" Lena eyes widen, jaws falling down in disbelieved and stare at the slumbering girl.
"Wendy is going to go bonkers' when she wakes up" she concludes, it got her thinking now that Wendy found her friend does it mean that their partnership is over, she understand that it was the condition that got her willing to help. This did make her feel sad a bit, as she found the young girl company pleasant to be around with. Zenyatta frowns(?) when he sense something from the unconscious girl, he lean closer to her "Strange… I sense something coursing inside young Wendy veins but I cannot tell what it is"
Lena gaze at him in surprise, she didn't expect him to notice but then again he is part of the Shambali's a group of omnic known for their supernatural powers "How could you tell?"
"I can sense it. It has a distinct pattern that course differently from her blood. An anomaly if you will" he said, the omnic monk grab Wendy wrist to check her pulse. Chelia slightly shift in her sleep.
"Angie did say that something is in the lad's body but she didn't know what it is. She said that thing is rejecting her healing beam" Lena explains, pointing at the Angela's staff.
"I see…" suddenly one of his beads separate from its place near his neck and float towards his palm, it turns gold and he move it above the blue haired girl and begin to heal her. The orb shone brightly as it tried to enter her body but was rejected "Hmmm…" he tried pouring more power into it. Then suddenly something unexpected happen, the orb loses its golden glow and cracks of electricity flows around it before the bead drops and hit the floor, broken. The brown haired woman kneels down and grabs it to inspect "It's completely broken Zenyatta, look" she stands up and shows it to him, the beads had scorch mark all over it. He took it from her hand and stare at it "You are indeed right. How interesting"
"Interesting? I mean I know it's interesting but it kind of destroyed one of your beads" she said, staring at it.
"While you are right Miss Oxton, whatever it is its strong enough to damage one of my beads but weak enough not to destroy it" Zenyatta said, putting the broken bead on his lap. Lena scratches her head in confusion "So… What does this mean?"
"I do not know. This is new to me as much as it is to Doctor Ziegler. I can tell that it is not harming her body but only kept foreign object out of it, other than that it is a mystery to even I" he explains. The omnic notice Chelia shifting in her sleep so he turn his attention towards Lena "Now, can you tour me around your base Miss Oxton. I want to see for myself the organization that Genji spoke highly about"
"Uhhh…. Sure! No problem, just follow me!" the brown haired woman lead the omnic out of the infirmary. Once their gone Chelia open her eyes and turns her head to the side staring at slumbering Wendy, there was something inside of her friend that Doctor Ziegler and Zenyatta doesn't know about. The god slayer absentmindedly brush the stray hair covering her friend face before letting out a sigh and closes her eyes once again, not wanting to deal with it just yet.
"Athena, has Reinhardt contacted us yet?" Winston asked, currently using his computer. The giant gorilla was searching for the rest of Overwatch operative that still alive, after finding out that some of his friend death in the news either by 'accidents' or 'health problem' Winston thought that it was too much of a coincidence that they died one after another in the span of a week, he wouldn't have suspected anything if there is only one or two death but a former Overwatch member died rapidly in a span of a week, it's too suspicious.
"No he hasn't Winston" Athena answers.
"I see…. What about Torbjörn? Jesse? Kimiko? Mirembe? Singh? Liao? Anyone?" he asked, tapping away on his keyboard.
"Negative, none have contact us beside Genji and Reinhardt" the AI replied back. Letting out a sigh the giant gorilla lean on his chair in exhaustion, he hasn't been getting any sleep since yesterday, too much thing had happen in a span of a week. After their last mission in France they decide to lay low a bit since the destruction that Wendy causes attract too much unwanted attention to them. The news was widely talked about and have people speculated, because of the witness and the testimonies of the terrorist Wendy existence have become rather infamous. Some believe she's a new hero they so desperately need while other fear her for her destructive ability. The situation was a total mess but there still beneficial thing that they can take advantage off, with people and the UN continue to try a found out about the mysterious hero they can use it to silently revive their organization without their meddling but on the other hand the issue with the continued death of Overwatch agents weight heavily on Winston consciousness. Talon, an organization created to bring chaos onto the world and one of the members had broken in and tried to steal the data from his computer. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that they're hunting former Overwatch agent so no one can oppose them. There's too many things that he don't know about and it scared him, is this what the late Commander Morrison always felt whenever there is a threat that the world doesn't know about, if so then what could he do? He was just a scientist not a leader, someone like Angela or even Lena can make a better leader then him. Not to mention the many problems they're facing reaching from simple things like decent equipment to money, if things kept on going the way it is right now they won't be able to even revive their beloved organization. Rubbing the bridge of his nose Winston grabs a tube of peanut butter and a banana, he need to stop thinking and try to relax or else he will get a headache at the wrong time.
"Winston" Athena calls him "Hmmm?" he had a piece of peanut butter covered banana in his mouth and in currently chewing at it.
"There is an incoming transmission from an unknown source" she said, grabbing his attention. Winston uses his feet to type on his keyboard, trying to decrypts its source. The screen flickers and displays the caller face "Jesse?"
"Howdy Winston. Long time no see" Jesse Mccree answers, tilting his hat in acknowledgment "Heard you fella's trying to revive our old organization. I want in on it" that bit of news manages to ease up the giant gorilla.
"That's wonderful news! We are all gathering in Gibraltar until further notice. I will inform you everything once you and Reinhardt arrive in our base" Winston said enthusiastically, after a week of stress some good news was appreciated.
"Will do, but first I gotta go somewhere else. Something came up n' I'm currently in France. I'm going to stay here for awhile n' maybe wait for the old man too while I'm at it" the futuristic cowboy said, taking a puff out of his cigarette. The giant gorilla raises his eyebrows, confused.
"France? Why are you there?" Winston asked the last thing that happen in France was just the terrorist attack and nothing out of the ordinary as far as his concern.
"There something unusual there and I like to investigate it before I gather with y'all. No hard feeling right Winston?" Jesse asked his old friend. The giant gorilla shook his head "Good then, I'll stay in contact for now on ya big gorilla. If I ever need help I can trust you folks to back me up like old time sake" Winston smiles at his friend words. Even thought back in the old days the both of them are in different department, he being in the research and science department and Jesse being in Blackwatch, Jesse always bring him a banana and peanut butter every time he visit.
"Yes like old time sake" the giant gorilla said before something crosses his head. The futuristic cowboy smile back at his friend and took his cigar off to snuff it out "Well then, I'll be off-"
"Jesse wait! Before you cut off our feed there is something important that I would like to asked you" hearing the serious tone of his friend Jesse smile drop and look at him seriously.
"Well what are you wait'n for shoot" Winston nodded his head while putting his food down "What happen to your old transmission? You nearly gave me a heart attack when we receive an unknown transmission"
The futuristic cowboy frowns and looks to the side "Yah, 'bout that… Skeleton face tried to take me out when I was heading here. Manage to lose him n' discarded my old badge n' get a new one"
"So his after you too" Winston said grimly. Jesse caught what his friend said and narrows his eyes.
"After me too? Winston is there something you haven't told me or the other about?" the giant gorilla let out a sigh and took of his glasses to pinch the bridge of his nose "The last couple of days there have been…. Accidents and murders around the world, I usually don't pay too much attention to news like this but…. The victims are former Overwatch member. All of them"
The futuristic cowboy frowns at the news "Is Xiao one of them?" Winston closes his eyes and nodded, he can hear Jesse cursing on the other side of the channel "I'm currently trying to contact the others before I receive your transmission but I'm afraid that Talon will try and hack our transmission"
"Ah, shit that's a problem. What about the other? Do they know?" the futuristic cowboy asked, looking expectantly at him.
"Not yet, but I will soon. We've been busy since Genji arrive here. Granted it's because we only have Angela, Lena, and a new recruits in our base" the giant gorilla explains. Jesse whistle at him, clearly impressed.
"New recruits? Man you folks work fast" he said with a grin "You said Genji's with you right? How is he? We haven't done catching up for a while now"
Winston gaze at him nervously, not knowing what to say. Unfortunately for him Jesse notice it and is now looking concern "What happen to him Winston!"
"I….." he loudly clears his throat "Genji is currently in the med bay, he suffers severe damage to his body and is now tended by Angela"
"How 'severe' is it?" Jesse asked, looking suspiciously at his friend, Winston had always downplayed a dire situation whenever he realize it or not. The giant gorilla let out a sigh.
"He… Can only use his left hand and move his head"
"Shit, was it Talon? Are they the one who did it?" the futuristic cowboy asked voice relatively calm but slightly strain.
"Fortunately no, he was attack by one of our new member by accident" Winston answers embarrassingly. Jesse blinks multiple times, trying to process the information.
"Accident? How- Ohhh I get it, you folks didn't tell her about him didn't ya?" he said with a large grin. Winston blankly looks at him, but deep down he is very embarrass "Anyway, how the hell did she manage to do that? Genji's stubborn as a mule; there's no way he'll go down like a punk"
"Well… How should I put it? You may or may not believe me but our new recruit is actually a… young girl" the giant gorilla slowly said. Jesse raises his eyebrows, clearly confused.
"A young girl? So what, ya'll recruit me when I was still green. That ain't something to complain about" the futuristic cowboy shrugs, not understanding his friend concern.
"Jesse, she's thirteen years old" the line become silent. Jesse was speechless and did a double take before the information started to sink in.
"A… thirteen years old… is she someone special or…." The futuristic cowboy trails off, still slightly speechless.
"She is special… other worldly special" Winston simply said, because he knew that without seeing it for himself Jesse wouldn't believe him.
"Ya know what? I'll meet the lil' girl when I get there anyway. I feel like your' about to drop something big at me n' I would like to prepare myself first if you don't mind" the futuristic cowboy said, looking highly uncomfortable, he has a feeling that it'll be just as complicated as the slipstream incident.
"Not at all, I can understand where your concern comes from. Believe me, Angela and I was very much baffled by her story" the giant gorilla said, he can perfectly sympathize with the cowboy.
"Right… thanks. Anyway, it's good seeing you again ya big ape, its nice seeing a familiar face from time to time" the futuristic cowboy sincerely said with a big smile "Now I'm gonna destroy this phone, just in case" Jesse said before cutting off the transmission. Winston lean on his chair, relieved that he somewhat manage to get in contact with an old friend. The giant gorilla picks up his graduation photo and stares at it, he caresses its glass surface before he gently put it down and stands up from his chair "Athena how is your new upgrade?"
"Functional and running smoothly Winston" the AI response, Winston nodded his head before heading down towards his lab and he had a lot of work to do, starting with some better communication channel.
Chelia slowly wake up from her sleep, one thing she notices in her drowsy state is that the infirmary was dark and someone drops a white coat around her. The god slayer takes it off from around her shoulder and slowly rose from her bent position and stretches; she can feel her stiff body loosens some of its tension. Looking at the clock on the wall she read that it was already way pass midnight. The pink haired girl turn her head towards Wendy's bed, she let out a tiny gasp when she realize that the bed was empty. Panic began to rose as her mind kept creating scenarios with undesirable outcome, she then lightly slap herself with both hands to calm down, now wasn't the time to be panic she needed to think. Chelia put her hand on top of the bed, it was still slightly warm but warm nonetheless, which mean that her friend hasn't gone far. She silently ran out of the infirmary (But not before checking on Genji) and heading towards outside, she stops right in front of tower looking structure with (white long pipe?). She look around the place, she knows Wendy if she felt troubled or want to be alone she usually go to the highest place she could find. The sky god slayer decide to climb the tower and look around the base, times like this is when Chelia wishes she had Wendy's nose right now. The pink haired girl continue to look around before she notice a shift in the air, she turn around and saw a blue gust of wind from the beach. Not bothering to get down the tower, the god slayer uses her sky magic to shots herself towards the source of the disturbance, in that first launch she only manage to cover half the intended distance she aims for so she use her magic to help her glide the rest of distant. Once she's near the ground she did a combat roll and sprint the rest of way, she can see a faint silhouette standing all by themselves. She finally reaches the beach and come to halt as she was out of breath but her eyes focused on the back of her friend body. Wendy sensing someone behind her turns around and readying herself to fight if necessary, but what she didn't expect was to see Chelia standing just a couple of feet in front of her looking exhausted. Wendy eyes widen in shock "Chelia?"
Chelia give her friend a tiny smile "Wendy…"
A/N: Sorry for the long wait, I've been extremely sick this month. And also because of school, anyway if you haven't notice my writing may seem to be a flimsy and I have a good explanation to that, in the time I was sick I haven't write anything and kind of lost my groove but if I continue to write this then it'll probably return, we just have to be patient. But nevertheless it's done and I will happily say I see you in the next chapter.
