As soon as they returned, Tracer relayed the news to Winston.
"It all makes sense now. I knew Edison was creating monsters, but I never realized how depraved his methods truly were."
"We need to stop him, Win. Where is he?"
"Athena picked up chatter from a Talon base in the Lower Caribbean. It seems that a farm has been established there for the production of biological specimens used in experiments. Chances are, that's where you'll find him. And Tracer, make sure to send a message to that bastard."
"Will do, Win."
Several transfers later, Widowmaker and Tracer were on a cargo flat headed to resupply the farm. Tracer had a series of explosives stored in various pouches on her tights, which she would use to destroy the whole mess before any more beasts could be born. Widowmaker, on the other hand, wanted only to find out if her husband Gerard was still alive. Maybe then she could finally get the forgiveness she needed to leave her old life behind for good.
As they reached the main campus, the two women split up. Tracer began lining the exterior with bombs while Widowmaker began a manhunt for Dr. Edison, driven by rage rather than numbness as she gunned down any guard, scientist, or worker foolish enough to try and stop her.
Eventually, she reached a door labeled "RESTRICTED ACCESS". To her surprise, it slid open as soon as she approached it.
A voice greeted her as she entered. "Welcome to my lab, Agent Widowmaker. Are you here to test my new soldiers?"
"What have you done with Gerard Lacroix, madman? Did he die in the course of your cruel desires?"
"Gerard Lacroix? You must mean Subject One. Yes, he and I know each other very well. After all, I was the one who sent him to his death."
Widowmaker was shocked enough to lower her rifle. "What do you mean?"
"Have you ever wondered how we made you the perfect assassin? What chemicals and drugs we used to slow your heart, scramble your memories, convince you that the man you loved was evil and had to die? If you had, you would have know that it was I who oversaw everything. The abduction, the testing, the rebirth, all of it."
"Your service to Talon was such that they insisted I recreate the experience so they could make an army. I saw in their request a chance to unlock the full potential of humans through cloning. All I needed was DNA strong enough to survive the procedure. And what better DNA than that of Overwatch's newly deceased?"
"Your husband is very much alive. In fact, he's just completed his final test. Would you like to see him again?"
