"Sombra, how long to EMP?!" shouted 76, ducking behind the payload, bullets whizzing over his head. "I need these bots fried!"

"¡Hijo de puta!" yelled Sombra, suddenly appearing next to 76. "Sorry, Abuelo, there's not a whole lot I can do. They're not responding to my hacks. These damn omnics are getting smarter. Their firewalls are too good…"

"Damn! Where are the others?" 76 popped up from cover just long enough to blind fire a few rounds at the oncoming hordes of omnics.

A small army of sentry bots marched their way up the streets of Numbani, peppering Sombra and 76 with shots. It seemed like, no matter how many the two scrapped, there were still more. They approached the payload relentlessly, determined to retrieve what it contained: the Gauntlet of the legendary Doomfist.

"The teleporter is being hacked. Not my work. Satya is working on it," said Sombra. "Don't know if they'll make it in time…"

"No time to just wait for them," said 76. "Sombra, flank around and get their attention. I'm heading up and around to scrap as many as I can."

"I hope you know what you're doing, Abuelo," sighed Sombra. "Be right back." She waved her hand and vanished from view. After a few moments, shots flew from the rear of the crowd. The omnics about-faced to pacify this new threat, which gave 76 the opening he needed. He sprinted to the right, up the stairs, and into the top level of the cafe. He readied himself, then ran out of the side entrance.

"I've got you in my sights!" he shouted, activating his Tactical Visor. He fired wildly, his gun auto-aiming at the most dangerous targets first. Even with his Ultimate Ability, 76 knew that it was unlikely that he'd be able to defeat all of the omnics. When his Tactical Visor expired, he had destroyed half of the sentry bots, but nowhere near enough to consider the area safe.

"Halt!"

A green orb flew in from nowhere, sticking to the wall opposite of soldier. It burst, dragging every single omnic in range to the wall. Soldier fired off a Helix Rocket, all the while wondering where the orb had come from.

"Abuelo!" Sombra tossed her Translocator, appearing next to 76. "That yours?"

"No. But, if they're on our side, I don't give a damn who's it is."

"Citizens, this is a danger zone! Please remain behind the Protective Barrier at all times!" called a mechanical female voice. Before 76 could wonder what exactly was going on, a curving blue barrier fell in front of them, blocking the incoming shots.

"You sure this ain't us?" asked Sombra. "That looked like Alexsandra and Reinhardt to me."

"It's not them…" growled 76.

A large, four-legged bot leapt in front of them, glowing yellow and firing a large gun mounted on its wrist. On the omnic's back was a small girl with dark skin, wearing traditional a Numbanian gown and headress. She hopped off and ran behind the shield, shocked at what she saw.

"My word… These aren't civilians,Ori!" said the girl. "This is Overwatch!"

"Incredible!" said the omnic. "The odds of us meeting an Overwatch agent today of all days are astronomically low."

"So, am I an agent now?" asked Sombra. "Do I get a rank and badge?"

"Who are you?" asked 76. "And, more importantly, who's your friend?"

"I am Efi Oladele, friend, and that over there," she said, pointing to her omnic companion. "That is the protector of Numbani."

"The OR-15," noted Sombra. "I've been reading about you and your friend, mija. Incredible."

"Thank you, Miss, but she prefers the name 'Orisa'," said Efi. She glanced at her friend, who was easily dealing with the remaining omnics. "Now, Orisa is going to put down her Drum. When she does, fire at will."

"Her drum?" asked 76.

"Ori! Supercharger!" called Efi.

"Team up for a special attack!" said Orisa. She grabbed a device from her back, which 76 assumed to be a part of her, and slammed it to the ground. Beams of bright green light shot out at 76 and Sombra, bathing them in light and filling them with energy.

"That feels like Abuela's Nano Boost," said Sombra. "Are we sure she's not ours?"

"Shut up and shoot!" ordered 76, spraying down the horde of bots. Sombra shrugged, then joined in on the festivities. Between 76, Sombra, and Orisa, the attacking omnics didn't stand a chance. Within two minutes, the lot of them had been reduced to scrap.

"Good work, Ori!" said Efi, patting her friend on the back. "You were excellent out there!"

"Thank you for saying so, Ms. Oladele. I was a bit concerned, this being my first real mission," said Orisa. "Is everyone okay? Are there any injuries."

"We're fine. Better than fine, actually," said 76. He took off his Visor to see the little girl a little better. "I don't think I ever properly introduced myself. I'm Jack Morrison, commander of Overwatch."

"Of course! Your reputation precedes you!" said Efi. "It is truly an honour to meet you, Commander Morrison."

"Really, we should be the ones honored. You saved our skin back there."

"We're just doing what we think we is right. Keeping the people of Numbani safe. Isn't that right, Ori?"

"Your safety is my primary concern," chimed Orisa.

"Is that so? You wanna know what I think?"asked 76. "I think you two can be doing good in more than just Numbani. I think you two could be vital in keeping the whole world safe."

"What are you saying, Commander Morrison?" asked Efi, hardly daring to dream.

"It might be a bit unorthodox, given your age and all, but… Would you like to come live with us? Join Overwatch and keep the world safe?"

"Orisa, call Mama," said Efi, with a grin. "I need to ask her to help pack my things."

"So, Song, this is Efi Oladele and her friend Orisa," said 76. "She's the newest recruit to the House."

"It is nice to meet you, Ms. Song," said Efi. Orisa remained silent, staring past 76 and DVa.

"Aw, nice to meet you, too, Efi," said DVa brightly. "Is she going to be sharing a room with me?"

"Hope you don't mind," said 76. "I'm running out of places to put us all. I need to talk to Vatswana about expanding the house. So, in any case, this arrangement will probably be temporary."

"Oh, I don't mind. There's not too many free beds here," said DVa. "She either has to bunk with me or Amelie, and I am not letting Widow bully this nice little girl."

"Frankly, I'd be more concerned for Widow. Efi isn't your average 11 year-old." 76 checked his watch, shaking his head. "I gotta go. Sombra and Symmetra are trying to find a way to firewall the teleporters. You get settled in, Efi. I'll have something for you to do by morning."

"Thank you, Commander Morrison," said Efi. She climbed onto Orisa's back and the two sauntered into the room. "Thank you for allowing me to stay with you, Ms. Song."

"It's not trouble, really. Us youngsters have to stick together," said DVa. She noticed Orisa's blank stare. "Er… Is she okay?"

"Hm?" Efi leaned around to check on Orisa. She followed her gaze, laughing when she saw what it was Orisa was staring at. "Ah. I think Ori would like it if you introduced your friend there."

"Hm?" DVa followed Orisa's gaze, tracing her sight line all the way to her very own MEKA. "Oh, I see! You like my MEKA?"

"She's beautiful," said Orisa. She crossed the room, grabbing MEKA'S Fusion Cannon and shook it as if it were a hand. "Hello, Ms. MEKA. My name is Orisa. It's wonderful to meet you."

MEKA remained silent, though that didn't seem to deter Orisa in the slightest.

"It is okay if you are shy. I was at first, as well. With time, I'm sure we will become the best of friends."

"Ori," said Efi, stifling a giggle. "That's not-" DVa grabbed Efi's shoulder, shaking her head with a grin.

"Let her have this. With all the weird junk that goes on around here, she's going to need a friend," said DVa. "Speaking of friends, let's go introduce you to some of mine."

"Okay, Ms. Song,"said Efi. "Ori, I will be back. Stay out of trouble, okay?" Orisa didn't respond, too focused on holding MEKA'S "hand". Efi shook her head, believing that the strangeness DVa had referenced had only just begun.

The two set out of the room to introduce the rest of the OverHouse to its newest member.
