Chapter 10: Mercy meets Medic
*2081*
In the Overwatch base, Zarya and Hana with couple of soldiers were heading towards Winston's room. As they turned a corner the soldiers searched the area before signaling it was clear, Zarya held her Particle Cannon tightly while Hana follows close behind in her mech. They were getting closer to Winston's room, and that's when they began to see the bloody mess in the hallway. Bullets were on the floor along with the fallen Overwatch soldiers, but these weren't ordinary bullets, Zarya recognized these bullet casing, these are from Reaper.
Zarya: This is Reaper's handy work, but I doubt he came here alone.
Hana: I guess this ain't gonna be an easy mission after all.
Junkrat: You guessed right mate!
Junkrat threw his concussion mine right in front of the soldiers before detonating, the blast injured them before sending them flying towards the wall.
Junkrat: Now we got rid of those buggers, let's cause some mayhem!
Roadhog stepped in and threw his chain hook at Zarya, then pulling her towards him, but she activated her particle barrier just in time before he could take a damaging meat shot at her. Zarya started fighting back Roadhog using her particle cannon, Hana was going to help her but was stopped by Junkrat as he started shooting her with his frag launcher.
Junkrat: No no no! Leave those two alone, it's about time me and you have some alone time, how would you like to be my date!?
Junkrat let out a hysterical laugh before launching more frags at her, Hana made evasive actions with her mech with a disgusted look on her face.
Hana: Ugh no! You're way too old for my taste!
Junkrat faked a hurt look.
Junkrat: Oh come on sheila, you're breaking my little heart over here.
Hana: As if you have a heart.
Junkrat: Good point!
Junkrat let out another laugh as he continued to shoot more frag grenades at her, Hana activated her defense matrix and shot his frags out of the air, when Junkrat had to reload she turned off her dense matrix and started shooting at him with her fusion cannons, causing Junkrat to retreat for cover. Zarya continued to mow Roadhog down with her particle cannon, she seems to be winning the fight so far until her particle barrier went down, Roadhog took the opportunity and started shooting at her with his scrap gun, he tried to close in the distance between them but Zarya started backing off, she was trying to keep some distance between them. But Roadhog threw his chain hook at her again and pulled her in, when she was close enough he pulled the trigger. The Russian hero cried out in pain before falling to the floor, surprisingly she was still alive.
Roadhog was about to kill her but was interfered by Junkrat as he called his help.
Junkrat: Ey Roadhog, gimme a hand with the sheila, she doesn't wanna be my date!
Roadhog shook his head before running over to assist his little companion, he began to shoot at Hana's mech causing her to focus on him, big mistake. Junkrat got out from his cover and threw his trap in the path of where Hana's mech was walking, and then he threw his concussion mine right next to her. Hana panicked when her mech couldn't move, Roadhog got up close to her mech and shot at her mech, putting her mech in critical health, Junkrat's concussion mine finished her mech off which forced Hana to exit out of her machine.
"This is not going well" Hana thought.
She was correct about that when she started to run, only to bump into Roadhog's belly. Hana slowly looked up to Roadhog as he looked down at her, and he let out a deep chuckle.
Roadhog: Not so intimidating now aren't you? Well, you never were to begin with.
Hana glared at him and was about to reach her gun until Junkrat punched her from behind, and she fell to the floor with an aching head.
Junkrat: Haha! That was way too easy!
Roadhog: Can we kill them now?
Hana feared for her life as she lay on the floor, Zarya was trying her hardest to get back up but she was too wounded.
Junkrat: Hold on big guy, we gotta show boss and that Spanish lady what we caught, and then we kill them!
Roadhog groaned but agreed, he walked over and picked Zarya and held her on his shoulder, Junkrat pulled Hana up by her arm and forced to walk in front of him.
Junkrat: Oh boy I can't wait to see his reaction!
Hana: I thought you two don't like working for others.
Junkrat: Yeah, we did try working for someone before, we had some fun but me and hoggie here don't like to be tricked into doing things. We decided to lay off the whole "work for others" for awhile until we met our new boss, creepy fella but he sure knows how to have fun! Ever since we started working for him, the party just never ends!
Roadhog: And we've earned more loot than before.
Junkrat: That too, for some reasons after we do our little missions the others don't even bother to take whatever is on the floor! And they call us idiots? Ha!
Junkrat pushed Hana into Winston's room before walking in, Roadhog came walking in last with Zarya still on his shoulder.
Junkrat: Ey boss! Check who we found wandering around in the halls!
Junkrat kicked Hana to the floor as Roadhog tossed Zarya next to Hana. Both agents looked up at Reaper as he approached them.
Reaper: Zarya and Hana…
Zarya: Reyes.
Zarya hissed back his name, forgetting about her pain almost immediately.
Zarya: You are in charge of this attack!?
Reaper chuckled.
Reaper: You were expecting someone else?
Hana: What are you doing here? And what do you need from Athena?
Reaper: That is none of your business, and well done Junkrat, Roadhog. You can kill those two, I don't need them.
Reaper turned around and waved them off, Zarya glared daggers into Reaper's back, Hana was starting to panic.
Junkrat: Told ya we could kill them after we show them to boss, and you got it!
Hana: w-wait please d-don't-
Zarya: Don't show fear Hana, that's what they want you to do.
As Reaper walked back to Sombra who was still trying to hack the system, but as he walked he saw Winston's time device.
Reaper: Sombra.
Sombra: Que?
Reaper: What is that machine?
Sombra: Some sort of time travel machine, I used that to get rid of the other heroes by setting up a virus in there to cause a sucking vortex. They were all gone in seconds.
Reaper: Hmm, on second thought bring those two over here Junkrat.
Junkrat: Dawww, fine…come on Roadhog.
Roadhog grunted before grabbing Zarya by the shoulder and pulling her up, Junkrat didn't need to do anything since Hana got up by herself.
Hana: Keep your hands away from me.
Junkrat: You got it.
Junkrat pushed her towards the time machine, resulting him to receive a deadly glare from Hana.
Reaper: How's coming Sombra?
Sombra: Almost got it pinned.
And indeed she was, Sombra was infecting files with her own type of virus, this was affecting Athena's processer causing her to slow down and buffer.
Sombra: You still got that chip?
Reaper: Yes.
Sombra: Give it here.
When Reaper gave her the chip she inserted it into the computer.
Sombra: This so called "Athena" is still active but it should be weak enough for this chip to work. Then the location of all the heroes is ours.
Reaper: Good, and can you activate that time machine?
Sombra: What are you going to do?
Reaper: You'll see.
Sombra walked over to the machine and began to activate it, once it started up and a portal appeared Reaper ordered Junkrat and Roadhog to throw the two agents in there.
Hana: What!? You're going to exile us into an unknown time? What if that time doesn't have Wifi!?
Reaper: Isn't my problem.
Junkrat: Hehe I'm starting to think this idea is better than killing you sheila.
Hana growled at Junkrat, she had enough of him. As he began to push her into the portal she turned around quickly and grabbed onto him, pulling him into the portal as well.
Hana: You're coming with me!
Junkrat: AHHH! ROADHOG!
Junkrat and Hana disappeared into the portal with one last shriek from Junkrat but Roadhog wasn't about to give up, with one hand he threw his hook into the portal hoping for it to grab his partner, he felt a tug which he thought was a good sign and began to pull. But the tug began to get stronger and it was now pulling Roadhog into the portal, Roadhog knew if he didn't let go he would pulled into the vortex, but he didn't want to let Junkrat be alone in the random time he was sent in. Not knowing what to do, Roadhog unwillingly let the vortex pull him in, along with Zarya as she was still in his grip. Both of them were gone in a flash, leaving a shocked and disappointed Sombra and Reaper.
Reaper: Idiots, I hired idiots, they didn't even tie them up!
Sombra: You just realized? Of course they are! But at least they're all gone, and we are almost finished here.
"Freeze!"
Both Reaper and Sombra froze where they stood.
"Drop your weapons and put your hands in the air!"
That's a big no, they ain't going down so easily. Reaper and Sombra took out their weapons and turned around quickly to see a huge squad of Overwatch soldiers.
"Fire!"
The soldier fired everything they got at Reaper and Sombra, both Talon agents knew this was a fight to the death, and they weren't going to win. Without thinking, Reaper jumped into the portal that was still running, Sombra didn't like the idea of jumping in there but she didn't have a choice, she cursed herself for not setting a plan to escape before jumping in. When the two were gone the soldier ceased fire.
Soldier 1: Where'd they go?
Soldier 2: In the portal you dumbass, where else?
Soldier 1: I meant where does that portal lead to!?
Soldier 3: I've been hearing about this machine whenever I'm around Winston, this is a time machine.
Soldier 4: Sir! I need help with Athena, it has some sorta chip in it.
Soldier 1: Just a second, where did the portal send them?
Soldier 3 checked the control panel before answering.
Soldier 3: It sent them to 1980 sir.
Soldier 1: Well shit…guess we won't be seeing them anymore.
Soldier 2: What about the other heroes? What about Zarya and D. va?
Soldier 1: Search the base, we need to know if they are not here, if they aren't order an immediate search and rescue.
Soldier 2: Yes sir.
*1980*
Heavy and Medic were sitting by a campfire in the middle of the forest, it was nighttime so they stayed close to the fire. As time passed by they kept on hearing noises from the darkness, and every now and then would Heavy spot a pair of red eyes staring at them, but Heavy wasn't scared of no creature. Medic stared at the fire as it burned the wood they collected, he hoped the fire would last for the night, when the day comes he and Heavy planned onto look for the others, try to regroup before anything else could happen.
Heavy: Medic could sleep while Heavy protects you.
Medic: Sleep in a forest like this? Ha! Danka for ze offer Heavy, but I will be fine.
Heavy: What happens when we find the others?
Medic: I'm afraid I'm not sure Heavy, this never happened before, it looks like ze robots have finally overwhelmed us.
Heavy: Niet! Robots may have one this battle, but the war still goes on, we will be victorious.
Medic: I wish I had your courage my friend.
There was a pause for awhile, neither of them spoke until a bright flash appeared to them not too far away.
Heavy: Oh?
Medic: What?
Heavy: Heavy saw bright light.
Medic: I saw it too.
Heavy stood up from the ground as he wondered what caused the bright light, he hummed with curiosity as he stared at where the light appeared.
Heavy: Heavy will go look for cause of light.
Medic: Heavy, that isn't a good idea, we are not ze only ones in this forest.
Heavy: I fear no man, or creature, Heavy will go.
Heavy picked up a burning stick from the fire to use it as a torchlight, Medic released a sigh before getting up as well.
Medic: Fine, just let me take off my medigun and I'll go with you, this thing has been weighing me down.
After Medic took off his medigun Heavy began to walk forward where they last saw the light, Medic followed close behind with his Ubersaw in hand, if anything jumps at them he could use the extra ubercharge juice. As Heavy continued to walk he spotted a figure on the floor, it was a person laying down.
Heavy: Doctor look.
Medic: What is it?
When Medic saw the figure he squinted at it.
Heavy: Could it be one of the others?
Medic: Nein, this one looks different.
Medic walked closer to the person to get a better look, but what he saw shocked him, he was speechless.
Medic: ah…oh..but…er…Heavy.
Heavy: Hmm?
Medic: You might want to come a little closer.
As soon as he was next to Medic, he too didn't know what to say. There is an angel, a fallen angel, on the ground, unconscious. Heavy gasped as he was so bewildered.
Heavy: How could this happen!?
Medic didn't respond to Heavy as he was studying this 'angel', and he took note of the staff that lay near her. But his studying was interrupted when he heard a deep growl, they were not alone.
Heavy: Doctor…pick up the angel…slowly.
Medic agreed and slowly put his arms around her, he didn't even bother to look at what was growling at them and put his concentration on the angel.
Medic: Heavy, what is it we're up against?
Heavy: Bear…mmm giant bear.
Heavy stood tall and strong as he stared it his new opponent, he has fought many bears before in his life, but this bear is twice the size of any bear he has ever seen. It had razor sharp teeth, thick sharp claws, and one red eye since the other one looked like it was shot, its mouth overflowed with saliva as it stared at its dinner, but Heavy wasn't going to let that happen.
Heavy: Can you see the campfire?
Medic looked back at their campfire, it was far but he could still see it.
Medic: Yes.
Heavy: Heavy will fight this bear, while you run back to campfire.
Medic: What!? Heavy no! This bear is bigger than you!
Heavy: Da, then this is fair fight yes?
Heavy looked back at Medic and smiled bravely.
Heavy: Heavy will be back…now run!
Medic nodded before running back to the campfire, the bear let out a mighty roar before charging at Heavy, its first victim. But to the beast's surprise Heavy ran at it too, as Heavy charged at the bear he tightened his fist before releasing his battle cry
Heavy: EEEYAAAAHHH!
Both giants closed in on each other, the beast opened its deadly jaws wide but Heavy grabbed onto it to keep it away. The beast chomped randomly at the air, trying to free its jaw from Heavy's grip but with no use, so it used its deadly claws and successfully hit Heavy in the chest. 3 deep gashes were now place on Heavy's chest but he laughed at the beast.
Heavy: Ha! Is nothing but a scratch!
Heavy slammed his giant fist to the giant bear's head, earning a whimper from the bear.
Heavy: Take that!
Another huge punch to the animal's head.
Heavy: And this!
Another hit.
Heavy: Boom!
And another hit.
Heavy: Haha-AH!
The beast bit down on Heavy's arm and pulled on it, it spun around before letting go of Heavy's arm sending him flying to a tree. When Heavy hit the tree the impact almost made the tree tip over, he groaned as he picked himself up and saw the beast a few feet away from him, it stood on its back legs and let out another angry roar, Heavy chuckled.
Heavy: You fight well giant bear, but only one will come out alive in this fight.
The beast growled like as if it agreed, there can only be one winner. Heavy dusted off the dirt on his pants and cracked his knuckles before speaking.
Heavy: And it won't be you.
The beast released its roar before charging at Heavy again, Heavy ran at his opponent with no fear and roared back.
Heavy: RAAHHHH!
Medic could hear the all the shouting and roaring from behind him as he kept on running to the fire, despite how dark it was he was able to maneuver around some obstacles before reaching the campfire. Medic breathed heavily since he was exhausted from carrying this angel including her staff all the way here, he was thankful for being somewhat fit otherwise he would be dead from exhaustion right now. As he tried to catch his breath, he realized that all the roaring and shouting was gone, it was just silence.
Medic: Heavy?...Heavy!
Nothing responded to Medic's shouts, which started to worry him. He had a thought to go look for him, but there could be something else out there, and he couldn't just leave the angel by herself. So Medic regretfully chose to stay, and hope that Heavy will soon return.
*8 hours later*
Medic hadn't slept at all that night, reason 1 being that they were in a forest that is deadly at night, reason 2 being that what happens if the angel woke up while he slept? Medic didn't want to take the chances. But he was fine really, sleepless nights is something he is familiar with. The sun chased the darkness away as moved more up to the sky, Medic checked his watch and read it was 10 in the morning, he really should start moving to search for the others, including Heavy. However he couldn't since this angel has not woken up yet. He had set his healing beam on her earlier and has kept it on her ever since, it is amazing how she hasn't recovered yet. As time went by Medic continued to observe this figure and realized this isn't an angel, but a women with advance technology. Her wings were mechanical and Medic assumed it acted like thrusters, and the halo she wore was just a cosmetic.
"I'm starting to think that she meant to look like an angel, she sure fooled me. But what on earth are you doing here?" Medic thought.
Medic was confused for a minute but then remembered the other strange girls back at the base, she's one of them!
Medic: You must be one of them, but I wonder why you appear in the forest.
"…mmm…"
Medic's eyes popped open when he heard a noise coming from her, was she finally waking up?
Medic: Hello?
Mercy: Uhhhh….ohhh…
Mercy started moving her head slowly but was still not fully awake. Medic snapped his fingers and waved his hand in front of her face to help wake her up.
Medic: Hellooooo! Please get up, I'd rather get some progress done today than to stay here guarding you.
Medic gets his wish when Mercy starts to open her eyes, and the first thing she sees is Medic who was very close to her.
Medic: Ah! She wakes!
Mercy was surprised to meet the Medic so quickly, and he was right in front of her.
Mercy: You-you're the m-me-me-me-
Medic: Me-me-me-are you going to keep doing that? You sound like a sheep calling for a medic. Me-me-me-MEM!
Mercy: ….
Medic: Ah forgive me, where are my manners. I am ze Medic, please to meet you.
Medic extended a hand to Mercy, she grabbed his hand and he pulled her up on her feet, her legs felt weak when she tried to stand and almost fell if it wasn't for Medic's support.
Medic: How are feeling?
Mercy: A little weak and…surprised.
Medic: Surprised?
Mercy: Hehe I don't know how to tell you this but…I'm from the future.
Medic: And?
Mercy: You already knew that?
Medic: From what you are wearing, it is pretty obvious. That and I believe you with the other girls yes?
Mercy: Other girls?
Medic: Ja, I've met Symmetra, Tracer, Amelie, and Mei. You know any of them?
Mercy: Y-yes! I know them! They're my friends.
Medic: In that case, any friend of theirs is a friend of mine.
Mercy: Thank you. Friends call me Mercy.
Medic: My coworkers know me by Medic, you can do the same.
Mercy: Coworkers? Oh you mean Engineer and Scout!
Medic: So you know those two?
Mercy: Yes, very brave men they are.
Medic: Ha! Engineer maybe but I'm not sure about Scout…oh dear.
Medic remembered back at the base Engineer and Scout were dead when he left, and he's not sure if they respawned and got out of there in time.
Mercy: What?
Medic: I am sorry to say this but…something unfortunate happened before we met. I'm not sure if you are aware of this but me and my other coworkers are in war with robots, and yesterday morning we were attacked and were unsuccessful to defend the base, the base is now gone.
Mercy: Oh no, I'm so sorry.
Medic: Not only that but all of us got separated when we ran away, your friends including mine are out there somewhere, wandering around in this huge forest. I wasn't alone before, I was with my giant friend Heavy, when we found you on the ground we were attacked by a enormous bear. Heavy fought the bear off while I carry you away…he never came back.
Medic looked down to the floor with sadness, Mercy felt sorry for Medic, a lot of bad things happened to him and his coworkers, and last night it was because of her that he lost his good friend.
Mercy: I really am sorry for you Medic.
Medic didn't respond, Mercy tried to think of something to reassure Medic but then something caught her eye. There was a red glowing beam connected to her, and the source of the beam was coming from a strange looking device.
Mercy: Excuse me but what is this?
Medic looked up to see what Mercy was talking about and realized she was referring to his medigun.
Medic: Oh that is my medigun, my greatest invention yet.
Medic walked over and picked it up before deactivating the healing.
Mercy: Wait, does it heal injuries in seconds? Like a big cut in the flesh?
Medic: Yes, how do you know?
Mercy was having a hard time containing her excitement, she remembered why she wanted to see him in the first place.
Mercy: I don't know how to say this Medic, but I am just so excited to see you. I have heard little about you device from Engineer when he was in my time but it was enough for you to have my interest.
Medic stepped back a little and blushed a tiny bit. "Looks like I have a fan." He thought. Mercy took notice at how he backed away from her and immediately was embarrassed.
Mercy: I'm sorry I'm just very happy to finally meet you, I'd really like to know more about your invention and how you come to make it. And then maybe I can tell you how I made mine?
Medic: I believe you are interested in being a medic?
Mercy: Actually I already am one.
Medic: What?
Mercy: I'm already a medic.
Medic: Pardon me Mercy but how did you become a doctor? Where I'm from, only men get that job offer.
Mercy: Oh…well things have changed a lot in the future.
Medic hummed with interest, how strange the future was to him.
Medic: You say you have your own healing device?
Mercy: Yes, here it is.
Mercy she held out her caduceus staff for Medic to see, he was interested to see how it works but there was no time for that, they needed to move and find the others, the sooner they find the others the better.
Medic: I'd love to know how this works Mercy, but we really don't have the time, we must move to find the others.
Mercy: Oh right.
Medic: Now let's move.
Before Medic could even walk forward he was stopped when a hand grabbed onto his shoulder.
Mercy: Umm there is an easier way to fine the others.
Medic: Really? What is it?
Mercy: I could carry you while I fly, we would be able to find the others faster.
Medic: Oh no, I'm not really good when it comes to heights…
Mercy: Oh come on, I promise I won't drop you.
Medic: No.
She turned Medic around so she could see his face and gave him a reassuring smile.
Mercy: Please?
Medic: Nein.
Medic doesn't want to be harsh on her but there was no way he was going to be convinced to do it.
*10 seconds later*
"I can't believe she convinced me to do this, and I don't even know this woman!" Medic thought as Mercy wrapped her arms around him.
Mercy: Are you ready?
Medic: no…
Mercy giggled before she started flying into the air, bringing along a terrified screaming Medic with her. Mercy stopped in mid air and started looking all around.
Mercy: Umm where do we start our search?
Medic was trying to regain himself, he tried to ignore the fact that they were so high in the air but it was impossible.
Medic: I errr…we head that direction.
Medic just pointed his finger in a random direction since he didn't know where to start.
Mercy: Alright here we go!
Medic gulped before Mercy went full speed to the direction he pointed at, but what they didn't notice was Soldier who tried catching their attention from on top of a tree. When Soldier saw the angel leave with his Medic he was devastated, an angel from heaven just straight up kidnapped his medic how else was he supposed to react to that? Or was it an angel? For all he knew it could be a robot in disguise. He let out a curse and shook his head, he should have fired a rocket at the angel even though he might hurt doc. But Soldier thought that if the angel kidnapped Medic it might come back for Soldier too, he growled before jumping down to the ground, they ain't going to take him so easy.
Soldier: They may have taken you Medic but they won't be taking me, I'll avenge you Doc.
After he said this a bright light appeared above him, he let out a shout as he was blinded by the unexpected bright light.
Pharah had just exited out of the crazy spinning time portal, she caught herself from falling just in time and regained control in the air with her jetpack. Pharah gasped when she realized she was in an entire different environment, first she was at the base and now she was in the middle of nowhere, above the forest. Suddenly she heard the sound of an rpg firing and a missile passed her head, when she heard another rpg firing she took evasive action and dodged another flying rocket. Pharah tracked the smoke to where it came from and saw a man on the ground, he wore a red uniform and a black helmet that had 3 silver stars on it, he also wore a grenade belt across his chest carrying 3 grenades along with a green parachute, and what he held in his hands was a green rocket launcher. Pharah's eyes squinted at the red soldier, why does he look familiar? But then the red soldier pointed a finger at her and yelled "Flying robot!"
To be continued…
