The group traveled to Numbani fast. When they arrived, people were asking questions about their arrival. Baptiste explained to them about Talon's attack, and that they'd be defending the city. The government accepted their help. They also offered the help of their OR-14. Orisa felt happiness when she found out that she was ok.

They got into positions, with Torbjörn's Turret hidden on the bush with him near the payload, Junkrat with Baptiste on the roofs, Orisa, Hana and Brigitte on their guard on different points, waiting for the attack. The others OR-14 were patrolling the city, wearing Efi's upgrades as well. They didn't have to wait much. Talon started attacking a few minutes after they got ready on different places. Many OR-14 were destroyed at first, for Talon was using more units this time. They managed to hold Talon for a few minutes until Doomfist arrived.

"I see that you are still alive, traitor." He said to Baptiste.

"Doomfist. You won't provoke a war. Not in my watch." Baptiste answered. Doomfist laughed.

"Only through conflict we evolve. The weak are to be disposed. Only the fittest."

"Whatever you plan to do, we won't let you do it!" Hana said.

"If you destroy th' world, then I can' get paid!" Said Junkrat. He and Hana fired to Doomfist, Junkrat his bombs and Hana her missiles. He dodged them and went to attack Brigitte. She wasn't expecting that when she received the punch, but she was prepared to hit ta wall or something. What she didn't expect, was no pain. She looked up, and saw a small device keeping her from taking any further damage.

"Hm... I see that you have stolen our technology, Baptiste." Doomfist said, looking to him.

"Well, I couldn't leave Talon with my hands empty. You won't won this day, Akande." Baptiste said firing to Doomfist. He dodged, but a small green orb grabbed him, and pulled him back where he was standing. While his shields avoided him from taking serious damage, the shields disappeared too.

"Damn you all!" He hissed, trying to get out from harm, but Brigitte's dash stunned him momentarily, making him vulnerable. Baptiste took the chance and fired to Doomfist, harmingi him enough to be no longer a threat for a while. The rest of the team was still fighting Talon's forces, but they have dwindled enough for the Overwatch team to take a small rest. The team put Doomfist on chains, keeping his high tech fist deactivated, thanks to Torbjörn's help.

"Ok, I'll call HQ and tell them that we managed to capture Doomfist. I think that Ana's methods of interrogation should be enough for him to reveal more about Talon." Said Torbjörn.

Before anyone could answer, a dark voice said behind them.

"I don't think so." They immediately heard shotguns firing. They thought that this time, Reaper would get them. But as he fired, they found that sky color shield surrounded them, avoiding more damage. When Reaper stopped fire, he hoped to see corpses laying. Instead, he screamed.

"What?!"

"Surprised Reaper? It is called Immortality Field. As Doomfist said, I stole it from Talon No matter how much damage you do to us, we won't die inside of it." He Baptiste said. Reaper grunted and started firing at the device, destroying it.

"Pathetic. If I destroy the device, you are vulnerable!" He then took position. Recognizing the posture, Hana activated Defense Matrix before Reaper could fire

"DIE! DIE! DIE!" He said, but all of his bullets were evaporated inside Hana's defense matrix. Brigitte went forward, no listening to her father's screams and he helped repair Orisa's cannon that got damaged against Doomfist. She went to stand in front of Reaper and punched him in the face.

"Mace to the face!" She screamed as Reaper flew towards a wall, hitting hard.

"Damn you!" He said entering in wraith form and trying to kill them again. The Overwatch team was ready for him again, but weren't ready for a purple orb floating to them, weakening Baptiste, Brigitte and Torbjörn. Orisa, Junkrat and Hana weren't affected because the first is an Omnic, and Hana as inside her MEKA.

"Guys!" Hana screamed. They then heard laughter.

"How lovely! More rats for my experiments! I didn't expect to not work on Omnics and a junker. I must then take you to study you." A female voice said. "Oh! What is this? A Talon deserter? My! My! It is Baptiste! It is soo good to see you again, dear."

"Moira..." Baptiste Said weakly.

"I was wondering what happened to the forces we sent to exterminate you. Now I se what happened. You are stronger than I expected." Moira said.

Baptiste looked to Hana. "Hana, use your Matrix Defense on the purple orb. You can absorb it." He said. Hana did, and eventually the purple orb was absorb by the Defense Matrix. The three affected were instantly feeling better.

"Thanks." Said Brigitte.

"No time for being grateful. We have more company!" Baptiste said, pouting to where three more Talon forces arrived, one Heavy Assault, Talon Reinforcement and an Assassin, all of them have red and purple plate on their left shoulder.

"Careful with those three. I recognize those plates. They are the best Talon has to offer!" He said. Hana, Orisa, Junkrat and Brigitte engaged the three new Talon agents, Baptiste faced Reaper, Torbjörn faced Moira with his turret. Doomfist was still unconscious, but the noise of the fight managed to wake him up. He saw his forces fighting against Overwatch. He managed to get free from his chains, and limply went to cover and pressed a button to call Moira.

Moira received a notification on her wrist. A healing request from Doomfist. She disappeared from the view of Torbjörn and went to where Doomfist is.

"They got you pretty bad, eh?" Moira said.

"Just heal me already, Moira." Moira took a yellow orb, instantly healing Doomfist from his wounds. After that, both of them returned to the battle, engaging Overwatch.

The Overwatch team now realized that Doomfist is free, with Orisa fighting him. Both teams engaged each other, giving the best they have to offer. They continued fighting for a few minutes when OR-14 reinforcements arrived, helping Overwatch to defeat Talon. Seeing that they are being overwhelmed, Talon decided to retreat.

"We have defeated Talon today." Said Orisa.

"Those folks weren' an easy figh', bu' we did it." Junkrat said.

"We should contact with HQ, and return." Baptiste said.

"I would like to stay for a bit longer if possible. I want to spend time with Eli." Orisa said. Baptiste looked to her.

"Yeah, you can do that. Numbani needs its defender, Orisa. You are perfect for it." He said, giving her a thumbs up.

"We'll then be get going to the ship." Torbjörn said.

After they said their goodbyes and making sure that Talon isn't coming soon, the Overwatch team returned to their ship and went back to Gibraltar. Baptiste made contact with Winston and Jack, and told them what happened. The understood Orisa wanting to stay with them, so they let them for two weeks. Their travel back was an uneventful one. Hana and Brigitte slept the way back. Baptiste looked at Hana with concern on his eyes.

"So young, and yet she seem to have seen the worst of war." He siad.

"It is expected. Her home, South Korea is attacked from Omnics every some months. She joined the military and entered their program MEKA, so they could fly them. Bastion arrived just in time when they were attacking again. And he actually helped her." Torbjörn said.

"It is then they became good friends? I still hard to believe what she told me back at the base was true." He asked.

"Yea'. She said tha' after th' attack, they became good shiellas." Junkrat answered.

"I know you have trouble with Bastion. Hell, even I have problem with it. But when I saw it the way it was acting, I had to study it further. That is, before the Swiss government discovered my actions. I thought he'd be destroyed. It never crossed my head to think that it'd arrive to South Kora and became good friends with that girl." Torbjörn said.

"You speak like you have a burden on your shoulders." Baptiste said.

"That is because I helped making them for protection. That was the main goal. But then the Omnic Crisis happened and they out of our control. Even after the War stopped, the wounds that Bastion Units made are still fresh on many minds." He looked to Baptiste. "Zaria doesn't trust Omnics, and she always remember me about the tragedy I helped to provoke on her home."

Baptiste remained silent, thinking on what to say, but found that he couldn't.

"We all got our own burdens to carry. Hanzo still carry his own for nearly killing Genji and turning him into what he's now. But he's doing the best he can do to cope with the present, having another chance with his brother. Zaria once asked help to Bastion when Talon stacked her home, knowing that his firepower would be useful for that battle. Reinhardt fought many Bastion Units during the Crisis. Hell, he lost his commander to them. Seeing Bastion should have provoked something on him. Something dark. Thirst of vengeance. But instead, he look at Bastion with hope and faith, believing that with his help Talon would get destroyed, and honor would be restored across the world, as well as receiving some of it. The junkers are no different."

"Tha's right! While we don' like the shiella, it is a good folk to see some explosions in the base and to talk to... sometimes." Junkrat said.

"We are not asking you to trust him or something like that. But look around you." Torbjörn siad. "Even my daughter has grown fond to him. Angela always enjoy playing with him chess. Zenyatta spend time with him on the garden. Mei shows him her lab and sometimes they do together some researches and calculations. Winston and Hammond ask him about using new technology. I've never seen Winston so engrossed on so many designs, and with Bastion's help, he can test many defensive technologies, as well as offensive ones." He turned to Baptiste. "You can stay out of that. We get it. But, a Zaria told you once, keep in mind that you'd have to do a mission with Bastion someday." He finished. Baptiste sighed.

"I know. But the pain is still there." Torbjörn put his on Baptiste's shoulder.

"We know about that. You could talk to Zenyatta some day. Ask him for help. He helped Genji and many people in the past. He should be able to help you."

Baptiste only nodded, deciding to sleep a bit before reaching Gibraltar.

When they arrived, they got a We on party from Genji and Zenyatta , telling them that they were needed on the conference room to make an inform of what happened. After that, they were told to have the rest of the day free. Hana was looking for Bastion to play with him a bit of StaCraft. She really wants to defeat his new strategy against her. She doesn't know how, but he always manages to either surround her forces or stop her economy in the first steps of the game. She's not a good looser, but she always look up to win against Bastion someday after he got really skilled on the game. But so far, she hasn't seen him on the base. He wasn't on his room, nor on his garden.

"Mat be he's with Winston." She said aloud. She made her way to Winston's lab, but hit someone by the head. Stepping back and subbing her head, she look to see with who she hit herself.

"Mei! I'm sorry. I wasn't looking." Hana said.

"It's ok, Hana. Don't worry. What are you doing here?" Mei asks.

"I was looking for Bastion. Haven't found him on his room on the gardens. I was hoping to find him on Winston's lab." She said.

"Oh! I see. Sorry for telling you this, Hana. But Bastion is on a mission on Illios." Mei said.

"On a mission? When?" Hana asked.

"A few hours after you guys left to Numbani, we received a message asking for help on Illios. Talon was there as well. Zaria, Angela, Ana, Bastion, Reinhardt and Fareeha went there to stop them. We haven't gotten any messages from them. It could be because they are struggling and can't contact us yet." Mei said.

"Are you sure that they are ok?" Hana asked.

"Yeah, don't worry about it now. You need to rest." An idea came to Mei. "Would you like to join me putting these flowers on the garden? It'll be a good distraction for you." Mei offered. Hana shield and nodded, walking with Mei to the garden to put the flowers she brought.

A day passed, and they still have no answer from the team on Illios. Concerned, Winston tried to contact them, only to get static in response.

"It could be a storm, Winston." Athena said.

"Or Talon is jamming their communications. May be we should try to-" Athena interrupted Winston.

"I detect a ship coming to the base. Over watch symbol in on it."

"That's them." Winston said.

"I detect damage on the ship, Winston."

"What?"

"The ship received damage. It can be repaired, though." Athena said.

"Athena, contact them." Winston said quickly. A few seconds later, Zarya's face appeared in the screen. Her face speak of exhaustion and anger.

"Zaria, what happened? Are you ok?" Winston said.

"We failed our mission. Sombra hacked our systems, making us vulnerable against Talon. We had to fall back." She said.

Winston put his hands on his face. Then look to the screen. "The rest of your team, are they ok?"

"It's... complicated. We'll talk when we have landed." She said, cutting the transmission.

"Athena, tell every Overwatch agent to wait for the ship to land on the hangar." He said as he then left to go to the hangar as well.

The ship landed with shrieks and complaints. When the door opened, the team exited the ramp. They looked just like Zaria. But there was someone missing.

"Where is Bastion?" Hana asked. Everyone waited for the answer to come. The ambient getting thicker by the moment. The team was looking sad and miserable. It was Ana who broke the silence.

"We knew this was inevitable." She said, looking to Hana. "Talon captured Bastion."

OMG! I can't believe how evil I am! I'm sorry for the delay, but I wanted to make sure this chapter ended like it ended. Now, question time! Do you like HanaxBrigitte or HanaxLucio? Or any other pairing? Tell me on the comments! Also, what do you think about this? Sad ending and all? See you next time :)
