A/N: I noticed something in the first chapter… and I'm going to make sure I don't make that mistake again. If you paid close attention, you would've noticed it too.

Btw, stuff may be videogame-ish.

Disclaimer: I don't own Overwatch or TF2, except anything that isn't canon to either game, I guess- idk.

Anyways… let's start chapter 2! :D

Enjoy~


Chapter 2: Meet the Firebug, Part 1

Teufort, RED Base

Engineer watched helplessly as Pyro disappeared into the magical portal Merasmus conjured, one of the skeletons that came out from one of the portals had made it behind him seconds later grabbing his brown overalls, keeping him from going after Pyro. Upon noticing that the portal started to close, he clenched his gloved hand angrily and began to struggle against the enemy's grasp to free himself, hoping he would get free as soon as possible and make it into the portal in time. He became best friends with Pyro after working together for a year… and he would do anything to keep both of them together- no matter what! He grew angrier as the portal kept closing inch by inch. A short moment later, all that anger finally burst and he successfully freed himself from the skeleton's grasp by grabbing onto its' arm with his gloved hand and flipping it over him, shattering it to pieces. Engineer growled at the skeleton by his feet, stomping on one of the bones closest to his feet, snuffing it out like if it was one of Spy's cigarettes.

Just then, he realizes that he took too much time because by the time he looks up at the portal from the bones he was looking at, that the portal was a few inches smaller than the diameter of his teleporter. He gasps in shock and quickly runs towards the portal. By the time he gets there, he already has his entire gloved hand in the portal and about to squeeze, but all of a sudden the portal closes even faster, trapping his gloved hand in it. He tries to take it out, but instead it makes it worse causing his glove- and his gunslinger underneath- to come off, the portal finally closing completely. Engineer instantly brought his now handless right arm to his chest, holding it with his left hand; the pain begins to consume his entire right arm, since the gunslinger had been attached to his nerves, muscles, and bone.

He fell miserably to his knees, some blood dripping down his arm, curving around his other hand and continuing down to his elbow.

oOo

Some of the other REDs soon noticed his predicament once they had enough time to look at what happened to Engineer, since they were currently preoccupied with whatever else had exited the portals Merasmus had summoned, they wouldn't be able to help right away. A short time later, Demoman was able to find an opening to help Engineer. "Soldier! Go help Engineer! Ay'll take care of these bleatin' eejits!" Demoman calls to Soldier as he defeats the enemy in front of him. He pushes Soldier towards Engineer, using his Eyelander to block Soldier's enemy's attack from hitting Soldier. "Oh, no ye doon't, ye bloody excuse fer a reanimated corpse with that wee butter knife ye got there!" Demoman pushes the zombie version of him back and slashes its' head off. "Hey, Demo, what do you think you're doing?! I want heads from a living person, not a corpse." He raises Eyelander up and looks at it. Eyelander always complains about every little thing, like his mum, but not about jobs. Demoman sighs before replying. "Whot now, Eyelander?"

"I'd like it if you'd cut the heads off of living people, not the undead." Eyelander said in disgust. "… It just doesn't feel the same." Eyelander continues to complain as Demoman charges at another enemy, yelling one of his battle cries. After he'd defeated five of them, his tolerance and patience ran out, he stops in his tracks and repeatedly hits Eyelander on the ground- stopping Eyelander from his complaints. "Ow! Ow! Stop it! You're gonna to make me dull!" Demoman stopped and looked down at Eyelander. "Ye best stoop complainin', Eyelander, or else ay'll put ye in me closet t'be fergootten and use Claideamh Mór instead." Demoman could tell by Eyelander's silence, that he had him right where he wanted him, trying his best to hide a smirk. "O-o-ok! I'll stop complaining! Just don't use that- Hey! Watch out for- never mind." As Eyelander was saying this, the Horseless Headless Horsemann came at the distracted Demoman, getting him in his right shoulder. Demoman yells in pain. Just as HHH was about to hit him again with the axe, Demoman quickly turned around with Eyelander held up between them, successfully stopping the axe from getting him a second time.

With his shoulder hurt, he wouldn't be able to push HHH's axe away for him to counterattack, so all he was able to do as HHH tried to push his axe towards him was push back himself- leaving them in a stalemate. Soon, Demoman was slowly losing his strength right arm, making HHH get the upper hand and having him go on one knee just to keep HHH from successfully winning. He knew that if he didn't get help fast, he'd lose, so in order for that to not happen, he called for help.

"Medic!"

After what felt like an hour, Medic came to him, but made sure to stay away from HHH due to what happened to him a few Halloweens ago. "Ja, I'm here, Herr Demo." Just when Medic saw the wound on Demoman's shoulder, he saw something in his peripheral vision and quickly took a few steps back to get out of the way from the haunted bumper car speeding towards him. Luckily, he had backed up enough to not even have his feet be steamrolled, successfully dodging the haunted bumper car. Medic watched it as it continued straight until it swerved in the direction where Heavy is currently standing. He was about to warn Heavy, when suddenly, the haunted bumper car was grabbed by Heavy and was flown into a cluster of skeletons. Medic didn't take long to put his focus back on Demoman, closing the gap between them, he inspected the wound he had before aiming his medigun at Demoman and turned it on, the red beam instantly starting to heal the wounded shoulder.

As the wound healed, Demoman's strength grew in his right arm, he now was able to stand and push HHH hard enough to make him stumble back, taking that chance to counterattack. Demoman didn't let up as he gave HHH a barrage of attacks and in no time, he defeated HHH. He looked at Medic and smiled. "Thanks, Doc. Ay could'nae doone it without ya, man." He celebrated it with a swig of his scrumpy, he tried offering some to Medic in thanks for helping him, but Medic casually declined. "Sorry, mein Freund, but I don't drink zhat brand. Maybe I'll give it a try some ozher time, ja." Demoman sees Medic give him a sincere apologetic look and decided not to pressure him. "Ay, fair enough, Doc."

oOo

Soldier frowned, he had the enemy he was facing right where he wanted them, but got interrupted by Demoman. He grumbled as he hurried off to Engineer, having his rocket launcher loaded and at the ready, in case of incoming enemies as he went to his teammate. Lucky for him, with a smirk on his face, he blasted away three enemies when he finally reached Engineer. Before he spoke, he noticed Engineer quickly look at his handless arm, giving him a glimpse of the damage done to his teammate; however, he decided not to mention this to Engineer because he knew that pointing out another man's injury during a fight won't help the situation one bit. "Hello, Engi." Soldier helps Engineer to stand on his feet, making sure not to touch his right arm. Without saying anything, which was unusual even for him, he leads Engineer to Medic. Once he makes it over to Demoman, who he's seen Medic was helping, Soldier noticed that Medic was no longer there. "Hey, Cyclops!? Where did Medic go?"

Soldier sees Demoman turn around and then points. "Over there, Sol." He follows the direction of where Demoman pointed to and sees Medic has flocked back over to where Heavy is currently at now, no longer staying where Soldier previously saw him. "… Oh. Thanks, Demo." He looks to his right where he has Engineer's non-injured arm slung around the back of his neck and is holding him by the waist, gives him his best hopeful look. "Don't worry, Engie. That pain will go away soon." Soldier makes his way over to Medic, while dodging and killing enemies along the way… and what felt like no time at all, they made it to Medic with almost minimal damage on them. "Medic! We- Engie more than me- need healing, Doc."

oOo

Before Medic could turn to Soldier and give the needed attention, he manages to escape one of the enemies attacks, however, some of them hit Heavy's arm, but that will be completely healed in a matter of minutes, thanks to his medigun that's still on and pointed to the big Russian man. Now that he has a moments peace of no enemy attacks, Medic puts all his focus on Soldier, knowing Heavy will be fine without him for the time being. "Ok, vhere does it-?" Medic stops himself when he sees exactly where Engineer needs healing. He had helped Engineer the first time his hand was no longer where its' supposed to be, so he knew how Engineer seceretly felt about the matter. "… Oh." Knowing talking about Engineer's missing hand can be a touchy subject sometimes, especially when he is vulnerable like he is now, he points his medigun at Engineer and makes sure not to say anything as he's healing his fellow teammate.

After Medic healed Engineer, he instructs Soldier to take Engineer inside the base and into Engineer's room, so that he may rest. He doesn't want his hard-hatted friend to think right now, since he'd have to pick up and carry around his toolbox around to find better sentry spots if ever his sentries were to get destroyed by an enemy.

Just as Soldier turned to where he was told to take Engineer, Medic was able to catch Engineer mumble a thanks, Doc to him. When he heard those two words, he smiled, treasuring those rare compliments.

Overwatch, Abandoned Building

The sound she heard behind her sounded exactly like footsteps coming to a stop. Right then, whoever was behind her spoke up, obviously talking to her directly. "Oi, mate. Turn 'round noice and slow loike, alroight. I wanna get a better look at ya." Pyro wasn't all that surprised to hear a male voice, but she was when it had an Australian accent to it. She only knew two people with that accent, and that is Sniper and the shorts wearing mustache guy. Basically, she wasn't exposed to many people with accents and leave it at that.

She thought about what this mysterious person said and decided to do what he said, shrugging mildly as she thought this. She bends down and gently picks up the cat, caressing the cat's head, before turning around to face the guy. Pyro tilts her head in confusion, not expecting to see what she's now seeing in front of her. This guy is an inch taller than Sniper if he were to stand up straight, has a metal arm reminding her of Engie, a metal peg leg that reminds her of Demo, and a- is that a lifesaver with candy corn spikes on his back? Before thinking, Pyro unintentional asked out loud about it, unaware that she had actually said it and thought that she said in my mind.

oOo

When Junkrat stops a few feet away from the red wearing guy, he is able to get a good look at the guy's back. It looks to be some kind of tank strapped on the guy's back, just like the Riptire is on his. But is that tank used to help give that guy oxygen or something else? He shrugs at the thought.

After the red wearing person turned around, he is now able to meet him face to fa- mask? Well, seeing someone with a mask isn't new to this Junker because he's been partnered with a seven foot something tall man with a mask for five years and that had taught him a good lot of things, not that he'll admit it to the big hog. Plus, he had seen a few other Junkers with masks too, but not like Roadhog… or this guy. So, when seeing another masked person made him relax, if only just by a tiny bit. Those long times spent in the outback had given him a special kind of instincts, so even though he relaxed just a bit, Junkrat is still on alert. Just in case this guy tried anything. Junkrat then takes this time to look at this guy's other side, his front side. He notices what looks to be three old looking smoke bombs on a strap that goes across the guy's top half. He chuckles and lets a small smile creep on his face at the sight of them, but quickly wipes it off his face remembering he's trying to be in charge of the situation, stopping his eyes from noticing anything else about guy.

When the masked guy spoke a moment later after turning around to face him, Junkrat is able to understand what the guy is saying without a problem, but Junkrat becomes confused when he hears something about candy. Junkrat gives the masked guy a puzzled look, not fully understanding what he heard from the person in front of him. "Whot d'you mean?" He then sees the guy gesture for him to look at his back… and he does, then he looks back at the only other person in the abandoned building. Junkrat points with his thumb at his Riptire as he speaks. "Y'mean this? That's not whot you're sayin' it is, mate." When he tries to explain what it is, Junkrat sees he's not getting anywhere because it seems that the guy is no longer looking at him, but at the cat he's holding. He frowns, not liking that another person ignores him when he's talking about something he made himself that he feels so much pride in.

Right when he was about to give this masked red guy a piece of his mind, the front door to the abandoned building bursts open, pieces of the door spreading in different directions, but didn't go far enough to reach him or the masked red guy. Junkrat turns around angrily, being distracted by the loud noise, to face the person who dares to interrupt the start of his rant. When he sees who it is, his anger to the now identified interrupter fell away, leaving a smile on his face. "Took ya long enough!", saying this in a lively tone.

oOo

Even though he and Junkrat are far apart, in search of whatever Winston wanted them to find, Roadhog still managed to hear Junkrat call him from far away with his loud and insufferable voice. He begins to follow in the direction where he heard his name, maneuvering back to where they parked their vehicle and continuing on passed it, until he came across an abandoned building. Roadhog faintly hears Junkrat's voice coming from inside, so he walks up to the closed door of the abandoned building, stopping a foot away from it. Not wasting time, he breaks down the door with his left foot, shattering the door into many pieces with his strength. The first thing he spots when the door is no longer there is Junkrat himself. Roadhog walks up to him, looking down at his fellow Junker before looking up at a person in a red suit and a gas mask standing in front of them.

This person must be what that ape scientist called them to bring back to the base. If not, well, it will no longer be his or Junkrat's problem.

oOo

Pyro is startled when she heard a loud noise, almost dropping the cat in the process, but managed to prevent the cat from falling just in time. The cat used its' claws on Pyro to make sure it didn't fall from her arms, but Pyro didn't notice the pain as her focus was on the big man that came inside. She had looked down at the cat to make sure it was ok, so she had to look back up to get a good look at the new person, starting with the feet until she reached his head. But when Pyro finally saw the big man's head, she saw that he was wearing something similar to what she has on her head. Pyro unknowingly lets go of the cat to put her hands on her cheeks as she gasps, causing the cat to drop on the floor. The cat safely landed on its' feet, immediately running off to get away, but didn't go far because it was quickly picked up by the lanky Junker.

Pyro frolicked over to the big man and jumps onto the guy's belly, clinging to the belly by squeezing, so as to not fall. She really wanted this hug to last, giggling non-stop because of her happiness that she found someone like her. Just then, the guy who she saw first spoke up upon noticing what she had done. "OI! Get off, Roadie. Nobody can do that to him except me! Ya got that, mate?!" Pyro turned her head to face the Junker without moving the rest of her body, Pyro's giggling subsides before completely stopping. She tilts her head in confusion of why she should do such a thing. She now has seen two people like her. Why would she want to let go of someone just like her?

When Pyro first came to play with RED, after she and the others had practiced with their toys before being allowed to play in the playground, she came across her BLU counterpart on the playground. Pyro was overjoyed and went to go hug her BLU counterpart, but was disappointed when they air-blasted her into the water below the bridge. It took Pyro almost half a year of trying to be friendly to her BLU counterpart before they finally got what she was trying to do, finally receiving a hug back. From then on forward, they made a deal not to harm each other during the fight when they were alone together, only attacking each other so to not let the others know of their friendship. Hopefully the guy she first encountered in this new place- the lanky guy- will understand when she gets the time to explain.

Pyro thought the time would be now, but all of a sudden something strong peels her off of the belly, she looks around to see who it was and finds it was the big guy in the mask who done it. Pyro gives him a questioning look on why he had done this by tilting her head to one side. He must have got the message and gave her a short response. "That's long enough." She then sees him look over at the lanky guy, staring at him and then grunting, and then using his head to gesture over at the building's entrance. After a moment, the lanky guy gets what he's trying to say and waits for the big guy to move first- which he does. Pyro turns her head to watch the lanky guy… and he is indeed following close behind, petting the cat with his toy robot hand.

Turning her head back to where it was, keeping aware of what's around her, Pyro wonders where they are taking her. She had tried to free herself from the big guy's grasp by flailing around, but fails horribly, so she just hangs there- bored. Pyro soon started to doze off, not noticing that time had passed and the two Junkers had finally stopped. By then, she was almost completely asleep, but got woken up from the big guy shaking her. She looks around, confused, but remembers a moment later where she is at right now. She looks at her surroundings- wait… this isn't where she last remembered, Pyro thought. Pyro then hears the lanky guy speak and she keeps looking at him as he moves around the area where they currently are at, gesturing with his hands as he talks. "Listen up, gas mask wearin' red bloke! We're gonna take ya back with us whether ya loike it or not. Got that, mate!?"

Pyro quickly thought about it in her head, running through her limited options. She is in a place she doesn't recognize and those two are the only ones around at the time. Well, if they hadn't shown up like they did, she would've eventually stumbled upon some people, but from what Scout and Spy told her… they would not like her, denying her any help. Even if that didn't really happen, it saddened Pyro. Suddenly, Pyro felt like she was moving, breaking her from her thoughts. She curiously looks at the ever changing surroundings- just like how she feels when moving in a car or any other vehicle. Wait… that's it!- finding that she is squeezed in with the uncomfortable looking guy she met first, his grumbling is evidence of it. Oh well, Pyro is somehow comfortable and that's all that matters to her right now, so she waits and sees where they are taking her. Hopefully they will bring her to someone that will help her get back home to Engie and the others.

oOo

McCree finished his call to Winston a half hour ago. He was told to wait until they came out of the building before heading back, but that could take awhile. And just a minute later when he decided to take a quick power nap, he quickly opens his eyes upon hearing footsteps and sees those two Junkers come out of the building with- a person? That must be whatever Winston wanted them to get. McCree shakes his head to clear his thoughts. He needed to focus on what Winston told him to do, which was to head back to base when seeing the two Junkers. They'll be fine heading back on their own. They don't even know he is there, so why bother giving that away. So, with that, he quickly makes his way back to base to tell Winston what he saw those two Junkers are bringing back.

About an hour later, he had already told Winston what he wanted him to know and now, with Winston asking nicely, McCree found himself helping the scientist with a few things around the base. It wasn't like he had anything to do at that moment… and he didn't mind. It helped take his mind off a few things. As him and Winston were passing the main entrance, heading back to Winston's lab with some files he needed put back, the front door opens loudly and he could tell already, without turning his head, who it was by the sound of shrieking laughter followed by a grunt of annoyance- the two Junkers are back.

oOo

He didn't hear the main doors opening, but he heard the laughing. These ears of his can tell that it is no doubt the lanky Junker's laugh. Winston turns around to face the Junkers, which were still at the front doors; he sees that Jamison is preoccupied with talking to Mr. Rutledge. A moment later, he notices someone he didn't recognize. That must be what the energy was coming from, but he had to make sure, so he'll want the red suited and mask wearing person to come back with him to his lab. He will get a better understanding of the red clad person in his lab than right where they currently are. Winston could still have Athena do the scan right now, but the results wouldn't be fully accurate. That's what his inventions were made to do… give 100% accurate results he is looking for. Before he gets the attention of the two Junkers, Winston gives McCree the pile of files he was holding and tells him to put them in his lab for him, so that he may greet the Junkers and the unknown guest in their base.

After McCree leaves and before he greets them, he takes this time to observe this new person. He gives a good look at what this mysterious person is wearing and finds that… his?... outfit looks outdated yet almost new, but seems to be well used- as if this person has been wearing it for a few years. After that, he notices that this person is curiously looking at every inch of the room- he?- is currently in. Well, that wasn't unusual, in fact, he knows a few people that do that- Tracer, for instance. Before things get out of hand in his mind, Winston stops himself from over thinking. He will know more about what those two Junkers have brought soon enough. So, with that in mind, Winston walks up to the Junkers and greets them. "Hello, Jamis- I mean, Junkrat… and Roadhog. Thank you for taking and completing the task I gave you." Winston looks at both of them in turn, giving them a thumbs-up on a job well done.

Junkrat stops talking to Roadhog and turns to him when he notices Winston is there talking directly at them. Winston had to actually repeat his greeting several times, although Roadhog got it on the first. "No problem, Mate. This bogan over there was tough to foind." He sees Junkrat point with his real thumb over where they saw the mysterious person last, but when he wanted to look at the red clad and mask wearing person too, his face showed confusion. "Wait… where did that little piker go?" When he turns his head to look at the person the Junkers brought, no one was there. Winston looks all around the area they were currently in and couldn't see anybody besides him and the two Junkers.

Winston gives the Junkers a concerned look. "Oh, this can't be good."


A/N: I'm not that good at fighting scenes stuff, so that's why the focus isn't all towards their enemies, but on the RED Mercs… and their problems? :T

Sorry that not all of what Pyro is describing/sees is in Pyrovision, but I'll sprinkle some here and there, promise. I'll leave it to your imagination of what Pyro would've seen during those non-Pyrovision moments.

Aussie slang:

Bogan: young, immature person

Piker: someone who doesn't want to fit in with others socially, leaves parties early

(I got these terms from a website. If any Australians are reading this, let me know if this website I'm using is accurate… and if I'm using them correctly.)

I know you want to read more of this story (and my other stories) and I'm doing my best to finish another chapter, but because of the things going on where I'm at, I don't get a lot of chances to write my stories. Sorry… anyways-

Hope you guys liked this chapter. I was planning for this chapter to be 2k+ and not 4k+, so this will be in parts.
