Sorry for the delay and for the shrotness of this chapter. Got a lot to study and run out of ideas, but now I got some new of them. Anyway, I hope that you like this chapter as I did (I'm a bad person lel)
Morning came a bit too early for Hana's liking. She felt a body pressed against her own and wondered who could be. Opening her eyes, she found herself in the middle of some one else's chest. Pulling away, she saw the figure of Brigitte. 'That's right.' she thought. 'She came here last night to comfort me. And I asked her to stay.' Getting up slowly and softly to not wake up her companion, Hana made her way to the bathroom with some fresh street clothes instead of her MEKA uniform. She started the water and felt her body relaxing after crying last night. She was still depressed and very worried about what happened to Bastion. Even when Brigitte came. But more tears fell while she was under the shower. She hugged herself tight. She just want Bastion back. Want her best friend with her again. Even if less than a day has passed, she misses him greatly. When she exited the bathroom, she wasn't surprised to see that Brigitte already left, but she didn't expect a note on her computer's monitor.
'Left to get some breakfast. You may join if you like ;)'
Hana sighed. In her depressed mind, she can't go and bear the faces of all of Overwatch's members. She just can't. More tears came to her eyes and she sat on her bed. She put her knees closer to her chest and hugged them. She only wants her friend back. She laid on the bed again, shaking and sobbing.
"Hana? Hana, are you there?" Said Brigitte knocking on Hana's door. Both she and Angela brought a tray of food for Hana since she didn't appear on the mess hall a few hours ago. The two women looked to each other before looking again to the door, not receiving any answer. Angela took off a special card and slide it through the card's reader, opening the door. Inside they found Hana sleeping as she hugged her knees. They entered the room and placed the tray on her desk. Angela then at at the edge of the bed and started accommodating Hana on the bed.
"I know that she's bond to Bastion. But Sombra was controlling him. We couldn't do anything against him." Angela said. Brigitte sighed.
"I still find it hard to believe that she got so bonded to him. I mean, my father created them, yes. But his creations provoked a to of harm." Brigitte said.
"Even so. Bastion proved me that everyone can change. I still cannot understand how he formed emotions and feelings. According to Zenyatta, it is natural that happened." Angela answered, putting Hana's feet stretched on the bed.
"What do you mean?"
"It is like teaching a baby. At first it doesn't know what to do. It only reacts out of instinct. But as time passes, its mind start developing all the emotions and feelings, and it learns how to reacts to them. It is natural, after all." Angela put Hana's hands over her belly. "Zenyatta thinks that that happened to Bastion. After his reactivation, he started exploring nature around him. It was Ganymede that found and made him not follow the order to destroy the nearest city he found." She gently put the covers up to Hana's chin and caress her hair.
"So... what do we do now?" Asked Brigitte. Angela stood and looked at her.
"We helped her. But we cannot forget that we still have our own missions to do. And I don't believe that Hana will be healing us too much in the future." Angela said as they started making their way out of the room.
"Yeah. With her current mental state, she won't be performing as needed." Angela nodded at Brigitte's words.
"Angie! Bri! We need you help on the conference room." Lena said as she appeared from behind them.
"Ok. What is going on?" Angela asked as the three of them walked to said room.
"There was a breach on Rout 66. Talon wants to recover their base there. The Deadlock Gang asked us for our help." Lena said.
"Deadlock Gang? Isn't that Gang Jesse used to belong to before he was forced to join Overwatch?" Said Angela.
"Yeah, it is. Jesse received a message from his ol'pal Ashe. They have been having trouble with Talon attacking their supply posts. They injured one of their own, BOB, I think it was the big Robot that can compete with Reinhardt or even Bastion." Lena said before coughing, realizing her mistake. "Anyway, apparently, BOB got pretty damaged there. Ashe asked that we bring someone that could fix him and help the Deadlock Gang." She said.
"I'm sure that Jesse made a deal with her." Brigitte commented.
"Yeah. The deal is that the Deadlock will help Overwatch in secret with any information about Talon they have." They arrived at the conference room, and they found Jesse, S:76, Baptiste, Winston, Torbjörn and Hammond waiting for them and Ashe on the screen.
"Well, well. You took your time, don't you?" Ashe said.
"What do you need?" Angela said.
"I believe tha' the small brit there explained you everythin that you should know. Everythin's 'bout business, y'know." She said.
"Quit bein' the Gangster now, Ashe. As you said, this is business. Now, I understand that ya know somethin' about Talon, innit?" Jesse said. Ashe closed her eyes and sighed in frustration.
"You never were the easy type, were you, Jesse? Anyway. " Ashe opened her eyes. "Apparently, Talon has started usin' a new 'prototype' weapon across the world. We were the first target coz we always cut off their supply routes. They used this prototype against us. We still don't know what it is. That's everythin' we know." She said.
"Did you manage to get an image of it?" Asked Jack. Ashe shook her head.
"The only one who can show you that is BOB, but he was severely damaged by that weapon while he protected the Gang as we escaped. He did manage to get to our base, but he collapsed."
"I can repair anything! Jus' let me see the damage, and I will have him in good shape in no time!" Torbjörn said.
"Papa, let me help you with it." Brigitte said.
"See? Me and my daughter will have your friend repaired before you can say 'deep'" Torbjörn said chuckling a bit. Ashe's face softens a bit.
"I appreciate your help. The Deadlock Gang will wait for you all." She said before ending the transmission.
"Ok team. As you could see, the Deadlock Gang will aid us against Talon if we help them. Now, Torbjörn and his daughter are already chosen for this mission. Reinhardt and Orisa will provide with shields. Angela, you will aid the members of the Gang should they need anything. Jesse, you are going too." S:76 said.
"Woah, wait a sec, commander! I never said that I'd go there." Jesse said.
"I am sorry Jesse, but you are the one who knows the Gang better than anyone else here. Not to mention that you also know Route 66. Because of that, you are going."
Jesse groaned in annoyance as the rest of the room preparing for the travel.
"Hey, just for you to know. If you need any help, I will be going there in a short time." Baptiste said.
"Thanks, Baptiste. We will call you if something happens." Angela said smiling.
"Yeah... thanks Bap." Jesse said as everyone got into the ship to go to Route 66. The ship started its engines and flew to their destination.
A dark ship entered the hangar of Talon's HQ. Inside is a woman known worldwide as Sombra. She just returned from her mission on South Korea with the Gwishin Omnics. She was exiting the ship when she received a transmission on her ear. She touched the device there and said.
"Yes?"
"Where are you, Sombra?!" Reaper's voice sounded really annoyed.
"Gabe, cálmate. I have just arrived at the base. I'm on my way to the conference room."
"You better have completed your task, Sombra. This could proved Talon a definitive blow against the newly reformed Overwatch." Akande's voice was heard form her earpiece. Sombra entered the elevator and pushed a button that'll take her to her destination.
"I know, Akande. I know. If you want an advance, it was a success." The elevator's doors opened, and everyone stared at her as she entered the room. "The Gwishin got their blueprints and we got the technology we needed." She said.
"Good. It seems that you can move very well outside the base." Moira said.
"Please, viejita, I always got victorious on my missions." Sombra said.
"Yes... and that is why you still haven't hacked the Bastion Unit to obey us." Reaper said, gesturing to a screen, showing Bastion with his optic changing time to time to purple, but staying blue most of the time. Bastion was unmoving, the virus Sombra planted avoids him to do so. Sombra laughed a bit.
"Please. I got the intel we needed from it anyways. I don't see why we still need the Unit." Sombra said.
"For starters, it'd provoke the moral of Overwatch to dwindle, making them doubt to shoot it." Akande said. "And we can show the world how one of their so called 'heroes' turned against them. The world will explode into another war."
"That's why we need you to finish the job, Sombra dear. Do it for our purposes." Moria said. Sombra looked at each member on the room. Akande, Moira, Gabe, Max. Finally, she sighed.
"Fine. I will finish the job." With that, Sombra left the room and went directly where Bastion was being held. She entered the room smiling.
"Hola my friend. I hope that you are having a good time, right?" She teased, knowing full well that Bastion cannot move nor answer her. "You have Ben giving Talon a hard time for some time before you were captured." She continued. "But now, you will have the honor to serve us." Sombra raised her hand and pink holographic wires came to Bastion. Bastion made a series of sounds, fighting back Sombra's hacking, but it was useless. In a rapid motion, Bastion saw how every memory of him and Hana were deleted. All of their times together are no longer there. Bastion's systems were shut down forcibly after a few seconds.
Sombra watched as the unit turn off for a few seconds before its systems restarted. Bastion stood on all his glory and his optic shined brightly.
But it was no longer a soft blue.
It was a bright pink that turned to red.
