With her shot lined up Widowmaker reached for the trigger, ready to take Mercy out with one simple head shot.
Just before she could pull the trigger however she heard the shot of another rifle, and felt the graze of a bullet barely missing her indigo skin. From the distance was Ana, laying on a snowy hill, her sniper rifle in hand. That first shot was just a warning, hoping that Widowmaker would choose flight over fight. She knew Amelie better than that, and she had the eye patch to prove it. Nothing stood in the way between her and her kill, and she would take out anybody who stood in her way.
Her instincts proved to be right, turning her attention toward Ana, Widowmaker fired a shot, Ana barely had time to roll out of the way, the bullet landing in the snow just inches from where she laid.
Getting to her feet Ana took off running, calling Angela on her earpiece as she worked to find a better angle to do battle.
"Angela, this is Captain Amari, there is a Sniper at your location, working to dispose of her as we speak but you got to hurry and finish what you are doing. I don't think I can hold her off forever."
"I'm working as fast as I can but I'm in the middle of a transfusion, stopping the procedure now could be life threatening."
"Just be quick, I don't know how long I can hold her off." Ana did a one eighty turn and fired a shot at Widowmaker's location, which happened to be a satellite tower.
Her location exposed Widowmaker grappled down, converting her sniper rifle out with a versatile rifle and fired round after round at Ana as she grappled down. Ana had to take off running to avoid Widowmaker's bullets, hiding behind a large iceberg as he planned her next attack.
"Coward," Widowmaker taunted as she walked toward the iceberg, "You've lost all your fight over the years. Afraid you'll lose your other eye?"
What Widowmaker didn't know was that Ana was actually readying a grenade and was just waiting for Widowmaker to get close enough for her to use it.
As soon as she was close enough Ana tossed the grenade over, causing Widowmaker to grapple toward safety to escape the blast, only to get caught in the explosion. Widowmaker hit the ground hard, grasping for her side as she moaned in pain.
Ana walked up to where Widowmaker lay, readying a sleep dart to knock Widowmaker out until they had all made their escape.
"Bedtime,"
Ana put the dart in her sidearm, but just before she could use it Widowmaker got up and kicked Ana in the face knocking her to the ground. Widowmaker aimed her Rifle ready to go for the kill but Ana quickly tripped Widowmaker causing her bullet to fly towards the sky. Her gun falling out of her hand Widowmaker reached for it only for Ana to kick it away and pin her to the ground.
Pinned and with no way to fight back Ana quickly fired her sleeping dart into Windowmaker's neck, knocking her out.
"You need a time out."
With Widowmaker now contained Ana got a call from Angela.
"The transfusion has been a success, heading toward the Slipstream."
"Excellent work Dr. Ziegler, I'll cover you." The next call Ana made was to Jack. "We're on our way with Tracer and Mei, please tell me you have your threat exposed of."
"They're falling back as we speak." Jack replied as Reinhardt fought off one of the last remaining talon agents. "The reinforcements you sent really did the trick, good work."
Angela walked up to Ana, pulling Mei and Lena behind her on their ice sled. With Ana leading the way, doubling as their body guard for the time being they slowly made their way to the Slipstream.
What nobody realized was that shortly behind them Sombra had worked her way free from her icy prison. Using her translocater Sombra broke free from her bonds and was determined to make one last strike at the heroes. She refused to let her targets get away, not when she still didn't have what she wanted. Cloaking herself to make herself invisible, she followed closely behind Ana and Angela. Once she was on the plain she would hack the controls, force them to hand over the files, then teleport out of their with the files before the Slipstream crashed and burned. This time she would not fail.
Most of the team was loading on the Slipstream when Angela and Ana arrived with Mei and Lena. Jack, Reinhardt and Torbjorn was holding off the few remaining talon agents, refusing to board until Mei and Lena was safely on the Slipstream. Angela picked up the comatose Lena and carried her onto the Slipstream while Ana helped lift Mei up, helping her walk onto the Slipstream the best she could with Mei's broken leg.
"The rest is on board, let's bail this icebox!" Jack replied, falling back alongside Reinhardt and Torbjorn.
As the last of the crew boarded the Slipstream Sombra tossed her translocater onto the ship and teleported on board, remaining invisible until and completely silent until the time was right.
The Slipstream took off, leaving the destroyed arctic lab and all of Talon's agents in the dust. Angela laid Lena down on the the back row of seats gently, not wanting to risk any more injuries.
"You'll be okay now Lena, your safe."
For most of the other agents this was the first time seeing the seriousness of Lena's injuries.
"Is she going to be okay?" Lucio asked concerned
"I hope so," Mei replied "She's saved so many people over the years, myself included, "She has to pull through,"
"She's a fighter," Ana replied "but the best way to make sure is to get her back on base."
Jack knelt down to his young agent, stroking her hair in a comforting way he whispered to her "We won't let you down Lena, you'll pull through, I promise."
"Well then," They all heard a voice suddenly speak out,"You better give me what I want then if you want her to make it."
Angela's eyes widened, she knew that voice. But how did she make it out, Mei encased her in ice.
Sombra became visible again, before anyone could do anything she ran over to the pilot and shot him in the head, before hacking into the controls. The plane's engine soon turned off and the Slipstream started going into a free fall.
Most of the agents couldn't move as they all had to grasp onto the seats to avoid slamming against the walls. That didn't stop Angela and Fareeha to fly over to Sombra and slamming her face into the controls.
"You idiot, unhack the Slipstream now!"
"Give me the research first," Sombra managed to spit out, "Then I will."
Angela had enough of this woman, grabbing her by the hair she slammed her face against one of the windows showing her that they were coasting over the southern ocean.
"Look, we are about to land in the ocean, unless you can survive freezing cold temperatures you can't teleport your way out of this one. We die, you die too, either way, Talon's never going to get that research. How badly do you want to die today Sombra?"
Sombra sighed, that woman had her beat, no job was worth her death, reluctantly Sombra went back to the controls and unhacked them, turning the engines back on. Winston quickly ran over to the controls and pulled the Slipstream up, getting it back to it's normal horizontal position. Jack then came at Sombra from behind and smacked the back end of his rifle over Sombra's head knocking her out. He then cuffed her to the armrest of one of the seats ensuring she wouldn't get up again.
With the last of Talon's threats taken care of, they knew all that remained was getting Lena back to the base and getting her the proper care she needed ASAP. Walking over to where Lena laid, Mei had her wrapped in her arms, having done that to keep her from flying across the plane went it went spiraling out of control after Sombra hacked it. Kneeling down again to his wounded agent Jack talked to Lena again in a fatherly tone, he didn't know if Lena could here him in her comatose state but if she could then he was going to ensure he kept her as calm as possible.
"We're almost home Tracer, hold on, your going to make it, hold on."
The usually chatty ride home was anything but the rest of the way, what could they say? Their agent, their friend was clinging on to her life. Even Junkrat who next to Lena was the most chattiest and loudest of the bunch found himself overcome with worry to the point that he couldn't speak. Praying to whatever God they believed in they all prayed their agent would make it.
"Hold on Lena," Mei cried holding her in her arms "Hold on."
