Hana's arms fell to the sides and Hana's expression changed from serious to shock and sadness. "You.. you leave?"

"Yes."

"How… When… why?"

"You're my best friend. But I want to do something more rather than play all day. I want to become something. I don't know what, but I want to do other things in my life."

Hana's looks away and walks to the window. The Bastion Unit watches her as she does that.

"Where are you going to go?"

"To UK. I have earned a scholarship to go there and study. The Commander already knows about this. I just wanted to say good by." said.

Hana takes a deep breath and the turned around with a smile on her face.

"Whatever you want to go, and if it makes you happy, go. I won't stop you." She said as she hugs her friend.

"You sure?"

"Yeah. I have help here. The Bastion Unit will help me. I'm sure of it."

's arms hug tighter as tears starts to fall from her eyes. Hana does the same. Bastion looks curious to the two girls, and wondered what is that. To find the answer, it stood up and walks to the computer. With his hand it starts searching about that interaction.

"What is the Bastion doing?" Asked .

"I don't know. But let's go and help you gather your things." Hana said as they walk out from the room. As they left, Bastion found what they were doing. Then, started searching for more things, like war, nature, technology, science, history, and the strange videos they showed him. 'Games' they called them. Bastion wasn't too much interested on games, but found them quiet them fun.

Fun?

Bastion thought about that strange series of data and and information. He search for the word 'human feelings' as they appeared in many of the texts he put on his hard drive. As the data as downloaded, Bastion couldn't understand what 'feelings' are. He considered it strange. It never happened to him that he can't understand data. Even with his limited way of communication, he can still process data and create logical answers. May be one of the humans knows more about it. The 'feelings' thing are human, after all. So after he exited the computer, left the room and went to search for the human.

As he walked through the base, every human gave him stern looks. Some even held hatred. Hatred. Another human feeling. And Bastion is recognizing them. As Bastion searched for his 'friend', he couldn't help but to review the conversation that his human friend held with another human. With all of his data, he concluded that the feelings they were showing were sadness, and happiness. He asked an officer, and couldn't communicate well with her, due to his beeps and whistles. After a few minutes, Bastion decided to use a computer to communicate with the officer. Doing that as easy and Bastion got where his friend is, known as D. Va* as well as Hana Song. He went to where Hana is, and found her talking with her friend as well as carrying a heavy bag.

"UGH! This bag is heavy! How many things do you have here?" Asked Hana

"Oh, you know. My stuff." Said her friend.

"That means your beauty cosmetics, games, books and comics?" Said Hana.

"Yes." Responded her friend as they both laughed. After they laugh died, they tried again to move the bag, but couldn't. In that moment Bastion decided to approach them to hep. Then took the bag on his left hand and lifted it from the floor.

"Umm... thanks Bastion." Said Hana's friend.

"Yeah, you saved us, big guy." Hana turned to her friend. "Where do we have to leave this?"

"Oh! On the car that is on the airport of the base. From there, I'll stay until tomorrow and leave"

"Ok. Come on Bastion, let's leave Asha on her transport." Hana said.

Asha. Hana friend's name. After they arrived at the airport, Hana and Asha hugged again and wished good luck for each other before Asha walked on her special room as Bastion put her bag on a little car. His data told him it was a carrying suitcase. After that, Hana and Bastion left the airport and headed to her room. But before they could do that, the Commander approached them both with some armed guards

"Commander. What do you need?" Asked Hana frowning.

"I was asked to bring the Bastion Unit to the Labs, so it can be dismantled." Said the Commander.

"What?!" Asked Hana. Bastion made a series of rapid sounds, obviously angry and upset.

"You can't do that! This Bastion helped saving South Korea! Why is going to be dismantled?"

"I know that it helped us dealing with those Omnics, but its a sign of the Omnic Crisis. Some people don't want to see anything nor deal with something that comes from that time. The president ordered to dismantled it as soon as possible."

"It's not fair! He saved millions of lives and-!"

"Fair?! Do you think that this monster won't start killing people?! It's a killing machine, for gods sake! We can't let it walk around freely! We have to destroy it!"

"NO! It helped us! It deserves our gratitude!" Argued Hana. Bastion started making noises, clearly annoyed with that.

"It is not your decision, little one! The president ordered to dismantle it right away."

"If the president appreciates his charge, he won't do that."

"And why's that?"

"If he do that, I'll tell everyone about it, and why it shouldn't have happened."

The reaction on the Commander's face turns dark. "You wouldn't dare."

But Hana kept her position. "Try me. I am the person with most influence on the world."

They continue like that for a few seconds when Bastion's bird flew to the window to go outside. Bastion made some noises as he tried to follow his bird, only to be stopped by the windowsill.

"Why'd you want to keep it functioning?"

Hana looked at her Commander, anger and disappointment on her features.

"Because it saved millions of lives. It saved me from getting killed. It repaired my MEKA when it needed repairs and I didn't have any mechanic to do that for me. It protected me for getting hurt and to destroy all the Omnics that threatened our country."

The Commander seemed to be analyzing that as he looks at Bastion, who's been making noises to its bird friend.

"If you want to keep it, you'll have to speak with the President."

"I know about that. And I know that my uncle will understand my reasons."

"Uncle?!"

"Yes, he's my uncle. C'mon Bastion, let's talk with him." Bastion look at Hana, look at the window, and made some beeping.

"Don't worry, I'm sure your friend will come to you soon." Said Hana. Bastion looked one more time to the window and followed her to their destination.

When Hana's Uncle answered Hana's call, he wasn't expecting to see the Bastion Unit on her side. His shock was quickly hid and asked for an explanation. Hana explained what the Bastion Unit did, and why she wanted to give it a chance. Reluctantly, he complied, understanding her motives, the only thing that he asked, is to be careful with it. It'd have to be with her at all times, along with two fully trained troop just in case until they can truly be sure that it won't attack them. They finished their call and he sat a on his chair. All of his advisers and counselors were there.

"I don't like this."

'I agree. We cannot have it around people."

"It needs to be destroyed."

"I know. But my niece is the person with most influence on the world, and she can use that against this government. I cannot allow that."

"She's only 19! She hasn't seen the Omnic War! You can't be serious, Mister President!"

"I trust Hana. And if said that that Bastion Unit can be trusted, I will believe her. Even against my judgement."

The room fell silent.

"Besides, it is true that the Bastion Unit saved millions of lives. We'll have to wait and see."

"Let us not forget, that Miss Song will have two of our best soldiers with her at all times."

"If anyone has something to say..."

No one said nothing.

"Then this meeting has finished." Said the President.

Two months after the Battle...

Hana has done a lot of progress with Bastion. She managed to teach him how to play some simple games. And he actually enjoys playing them. Hana lost contact with . Apparently, she's stuck with studies. Bastion was received by the people with some reluctance. But after Hana explained what happened, and why she wanted to give him a chance, people started feeling less scared around it.

Bastion continues seeking for some answers for those strange 'emotions' he's been having since he is with his female human friend. Feelings like Happiness, Fear, Joy, Sadness, Jealousy, Ager, Upset, Love, are confusing him. Every time he seeks on that web called 'Internet', becomes more and more confused. He even went to a library, but was left the same. A lot of emotions confusing his systems, and no answers. Now, it's dark, and Hana has been playing all day on her console.

"(Yawn) I think I'm going to sleep."

"Beep, but, bap, beep"

"Yeah, yeah. I know. I have to eat my dinner and brush my teeth before I go to bed."

Bastion looked to Ganymede's nest on the windowsill resting. Bastion is worried that she hasn't eaten in days. According to the veterinary, Ganymede is warming her eggs. It's normal, she said. And Hana reassured him that she will eventually eat when the eggs have opened.

"You know, to have only one hand, you cook great, Bastion. How do you do that?"

"Beep, burp, beet, squeak, breeches, bleh, doop."

"I see. But still is impressive. Okay, I have eaten my dinner and brushed my teeth. I'm going to bed."

"Beep, dop dop (understood)"

After Hana got on her bed and fell asleep, Bastion went to her computer and started searching more information about himself, the world, etc. But then again, he couldn't find something of relevance, other than an old organization called 'Overwatch' has returned.

Overwatch.

He knows that he's heard that name before, and even seen it. On the programming of that Bastion Unit that showed him the battle of that beautiful forest. Where he woke up, and where he found Ganymede. Well, more exactly, Ganymede found him.

The next day, Hana tried to teach Bastion how to play StarCraft, and they spent until noon lunch practicing.

"I think that I will join Overwatch."

"Boop, beep, brruuh?"

"Yeah, I heard that they've returned, and that the UN will lift some of the mandatory they put on them. Apparently, Reinhardt and Mercy will come here, to South Korea, to pay a visit. Isn't that exciting?!" She says imaging that day. "And I am the one that will be receiving them! What do you think- OMG! I forgot! Reinhardt's country was attacked by the Omnics as well, and a lot of people died because of the Bastion Units. Oh no! What i am going to do?!" Hana said.

"Boop beep?"

Hana looked at her friend, seeing him tilt his head. "I don't think it'd be a good idea if you come with me when they arrive."

"Beep bup biirrp boop bleh."

"I know you appeared on TV, but your existence was declared a secret by law. I don't know what my uncle'll say or do if you go with me."

That left Bastion a little upset, but understood the reasons.

"Beep bop burp brrih breeh shoo shi."

"(Sight) Yeah, I know they might freak out if they see you. You're right. It'd be better that remain here while they talk with my uncle." And with that, they continue lunching. Hana eating some chips with fish they bought and Ganymede eating some seeds on her nest on Bastion's shoulder."
