Amelie` screamed out in agony, her hand clutching at her right eye. She shook as blood soaked her palm, her breathing erratic. She gripped her radio, briskly bringing it to her mouth.

"H-Help! I'm hit!" Amelie` gasped out, curling over as the pain in her eye never subsided.

The soldiers took positions, firing their rifles wildly towards the large Omnic. The Omnic's eyes glowed red as its shoulders opened up, a hail of missiles flying out of the openings. Its kneecaps opened, a platform sliding down. The clanking march of hundreds of Omnics was suddenly heard as they marched down the platform, guns ablazing. The soldiers began to retreat a bit, further into the city as the rockets landed, pummeling the defenses.

Amelie` struggled to her feet, before the watch tower she was in was suddenly knocked over by one of the missiles, propelling Amelie` forward. She hit the ground with a thud, her head slamming back against the cold ground. Her eye rolled up into her head as she laid limp on the ground, unconscious.

Lena fired her SMG towards the robots, blinking around. She lifted her radio up after hearing Amelie's distress call.

"Love? 'Ello? Amelie`?!" She growled, throwing the radio down. "Bloody hell! They're jammin' us!"

Zarya's energy weapon was smoking as it tore through a group of Omnics, severing them in half. The pink haired woman began to withdraw with Lena, more missiles coming down in front of her.

"We need to pull back, Lena!" Zarya screamed, soot spraying over her.

Lena shook her head, looking around for the watch tower that was there. "Where the bloody hell is she?! We need to find her!"

Zarya gripped Lena by the shoulders, shaking her as she pointed towards the advancing Omnics.

"She's dead! We must go now if we don't want to die too!" Zarya yelled, gripping Lena's hand tightly as she started to run towards the groups of soldiers who were retreating.

Lena tried to free herself from her grip, turning back as she was pulled briskly along.

"Let go! No! She's still alive, god dammit! Amelie`!" She screams out as she is pulled towards the retreating soldiers.

Lena closed her eyes tightly as the next round of rockets devastated the front lines, destroying everything in a fiery explosion. The Omnics continued into the city, destroying everyone they saw. Lena fought as hard as she could, tears coming down her face. Zarya had some bullet holes in her, but she continued to fight.

"For mother Russia!" Zarya screamed as the large machine on her back lit up in a blue light. The energy weapon went into overdrive as a large beam of blue energy shot forward, tearing down the Omnics who were advancing like a knife through butter. Lena shot down some Omnics, a large frown on her face as she blinked around.

The citizens streamed westward, running from the battle as they were slowly pushed further and further into the city. Suddenly, jets flew overhead.

Lena watched the jets which had Russian markings fly towards where the Omnics were streaming in from. They left, and a few seconds later, all hell broke loose.

The ground shook under her feet as the carpet bombings began. They leveled half of the city as they tried to destroy the robot invaders. Lena blinked towards the new defensive lines, tripping on some rubble. She crashed into the ground, next to a person. She turned to the person, before swiftly screaming and jumping up. The man was dead, his corpse burnt and unrecognizable. Lena slowly turned around, her jaw dropping. Piles of citizens were dead, while others limped towards the safety of the red army. Lena felt sick. She wanted to vomit.

She puked, holding her stomach tightly as she lost her lunch. She wiped her mouth, coughing a bit. Zarya gripped her shoulder, pulling her towards the defensive lines.

"Come on! The time to mourn is later!" Zarya screamed, more jets flying overhead.

Amelie` slowly opened her eye to a lamp. It flickered a bit as some dust fell from the ceiling. The ground shook, before returning to normal. There was a figure in front of her, the person's back was to her. They had a small pot with a small fire, cooking something.

"Amelie` LaCroix...It has been a long time..." The figure said in a strong Egyptian accent. It was a female voice too.

Amelie` was confused, her hand had dried blood over it, and she was blind in her right eye.

"W-Who are you?" Amelie` coughed out.

The figure turned, smiling. She had greying hair with an eye patch over her right eye. She had a black Egyptian tattoo under her left eye.

"Did you forget me, Amelie`? Because I didn't forget you." The woman said, glaring at the french woman.

Amelie` frowned, shrugging. "I'm sorry, but I don't...A lot of things happened when I was with Talon."

The woman laughed.

"Fine then. I am Ana. Ana Amari." Ana said, turning back to the pot over the fire.

Amelie` stared for a few moments.

"Amari? Are you Fareeha's mother?" Amelie` asked, curiosity now filling her.

Ana turned back to her, a frown on her aging face.

"Yes...I love my daughter very much...I haven't seen in her probably...Ten years give or take." The mother frowned, closing her eye for a moment.

"Why? She misses you very much..." Amelie` said.

Ana stared down at the pot, before turning angrily to Amelie`.

"Because of you! You! You're the reason why I need this!" Ana points to her eyepatch.

Amelie` frowns, clearing her throat.

"I...I'm sorry...I must've been brainwashed by Talon at the time...I promise, it was never my intention. It was Widowmaker's..." Amelie` pleaded, her hand covering her bleeding eye.

Ana stared her down.

"Let me share my story then, Amelie`." Ana spat out.

Ana shot down some Talon grunts, brushing some of her brown locks out of her face. She lifted her radio up.

"I got you Morrison. Two more dead ahead..." She whispered, taking out two more men.

Morrison gave a thumbs up in her general direction, carrying some wounded soldiers.

"Reyes, let's go!" Morrison yelled out as Reyes quickly followed him. Suddenly, one of the wounded soldiers who were trailing them dropped to the ground, his head exploding into brain matter.

Morrison slammed against the wall with Reyes, lifting his radio up.

"We got a sniper! Ana, you see her?!" Morrison screamed, looking around.

Ana looked around, firing towards the sniper. She missed, and the sniper fired at her direction. The shot barely missed, forcing Ana to jump from her position.

"Found him! Relocating!" Ana yelled, jumping to another position. She ran across the open to another building. She opened a window, sticking her rifle out. She spotted the sniper again, who was busy with the group to notice her.

Ana fired a shot at the sniper's head, but the helmet stopped the bullet from going through. The broken helmet revealed half the face of the sniper. Ana stared in amazement, her jaw dropping.

"Amelie` LaCroix?!" Ana gasped out. She hesitated. She didn't pull the trigger.

Amelie` didn't hesitate. She scoped in quickly and pulled the trigger, sending a bullet into Ana's scope. It shattered the scope, fragments of the glass and bullet went right into her bionic eye. Ana dropped to the ground, clutching her eye.

"That is what happened, Amelie`. I gave up on Overwatch after that. I couldn't live with myself anymore...And I abandoned everything..." Ana sighed out, stomping the fire out.

Amelie` stared at the ground, feeling devastated.

"I'm so sorry, Ana. You should've left me to die out there...Why did you save me?" Amelie` questioned.

Ana turned to her, pouring some of the contents of the pot into a cup.

"I saved you because I'm not a...Well...Widowmaker. I shot your scope to settle the score. You shot my right eye out. I shoot your's. Now, I'm here to help. I know you're apart of Overwatch now. I've been following you and that Tracer around for quite some time."

Amelie` was shocked. How didn't she ever see her?

"Thank you, Ana...I mean, you saved me..." Amelie` gritted out, the pain in her eye growing.

Ana offered the cup to her.

"Drink. It's a herbal remedy right now until I can get you back to the Russians." Ana whispered.

Amelie` took the cup, drinking it slowly as she clutched her eye.

The machine gun fired bullet after bullet, the casings flying onto the ground. The men yelled as the flames were shot towards them. Lena watched in horror as men were being burned alive. One screamed in agony as he rushed away, burning. He tried to find a source of water, but couldn't. He rolled on the ground, but it was too late. He slowly stopped, the fire boiling him alive.

Lena blinked down the street, Zarya following closely behind. More jets. More bombs.

"Why the bloody hell are they leveling the city?!" Lena screamed to Zarya.

Zarya continued running.

"Because we lost!"
