My Uncle's Team

Chap 3

"And remember. NEVER! EVER! ABANDON! YOUR! MEDIC!" Heavy shouted, causing the younger Overwatch members to wince.

"Okay, We get it." said with a huff but went quiet when Reaper and Soldier 76 glared at her.

"Heavy doubts it." He said before turning to Ana, Brigitte, Mercy, Lucio, and Zenyatta. "I presume this is a common occurrence."

"More than we would like to admit." Mercy answered with a sigh, with the others agreeing.

"And what's worse is how they constantly act like we are their personal clinics and want us to follow them into situations we shouldn't." Anna added.

"Or sometimes only heal them." Lucio added, remembering all the times or someone else kept demanding that he follow them. This caused Heavy to glare at the younger members again. But before he could give another tongue lashing to them, the landing of the Orca cut him off.

"We're here, loves. Good old Stuttgart, Germany." Tracer said after blinking into the room.

"Ah, it's good to be back home in Germany." Reinhardt said as the Orca's door opened.

"Excuse me, Mr. Heavy." Zenyatta said, getting his attention.

"Да?"

"Would you mind telling us about your team's medic?"

"YES! TELL US MORE OF HIM! I BET HE IS A STRONG WARRIOR LIKE YOURSELF!" Reinhardt cheered, causing Heavy to chuckle before nodding.

"Medic is a good man and VALUABLE MEMBER of the team." Heavy began, glaring at the younger members when he said valuable. "He is little crazy, but he will stick by your side in the front lines and keep you alive. UNLESS YOU ABANDON HIM!"

"WE GET IT!" The younger Overwatch members shouted, annoyed.

"I knew he was a brave man." Reinhardt said. "Where can we find him?"

"Medic works at the clinic at the center of town."

"I'm curious as to what field of study your medic specializes in?" Mercy said, curious.

"And if can he help omnics." Brigitte added as they exited the Orca.

"I am unsure; you all can find out when we meet him." Heavy answered, curious if Medic made any advancements to his medi gun. Yet, in the back of his mind, Heavy wondered how the others would react to Medic's quirks and stories.

Twenty Minutes Later

"Is that him?" Ana asked as a man wearing a field medic's coat walked out of a clinic. In his right hand was a book about how to treat Omnics while his left head cupped his chin. And on his back was a strange device that none of the Overwatch members had seen before.

"Yes. That is Medic." Heavy answered, excited to see his teammate again.

"Well, what are we waitin' around for? Let's go meet the bloody bloke." Junkrat said, only to become confused when Heavy held him back. "Hey, what gives?"

"In my years working for R.E.D. Team and alongside teammates, Heavy has learned many things about his co-workers. And one is that Medic does not like to be surprised or sneaked up on from behind. Unpleasant memories are all I will say."

"Then how should we do this, uncle?" Zarya asked.

"You." Heavy said, turning to Genji.

"Yes?"

"Heavy requires your sword or knife."

"Uh, okay." Genji said, confused but gave him his wakizashi.

"What do you plan on doing?" Mercy asked, equally confused and worried. Instead of answering, Heavy smirked and used Genji's wakizashi to make a large gash on his arm, which bled immediately, shocking everyone.

"And he says we are the careless ones." huffed.

"Here, let me patch that up." Lucio said, but Heavy stopped him.

"It's all part of plan." He explained before turning toward where Medic was. He then raised his hand and shouted in a loud voice. "DOCTOR!"

And it got the desired result as the Medic stopped walking and instinctively shot something toward the Heavy. This shocked all the Overwatch members, yet, their shock turned to horror when they saw a giant needle in Heavy's head. But before anyone could say anything, Heavy removed the syringe with no visible damage to his head. And whatever was in the syringe healed his arm entirely.

"Uh, what did your medic just shoot you with?" Reinhardt asked, curious but also worried. He was never big on needles, even with Mercy. And the thought of getting shot by a giant medical syringe was something he wasn't thrilled about nor wanted to experience firsthand.

"That is a trade secret." A voice answered. Turning to it, they saw that the Medic had quickly reached them.

"Ah, good to see you, Medic." Heavy said, smiling as they shook hands.

"Always a pleasure to see you, Mikhail."

"Is that your name?" Soldier 76 asked.

"Yes. But I prefer codename. Easier for everyone."

"I see you made some new acquaintances. Who are they?" Medic asked.

"We are Overwatch. Noble heroes with the mission of keeping the peace and protecting lives from villains such as Talon!" Reinhardt declared, startling Medic but causing him to chuckle afterward.

"Anyway." Medic said, adjusting his glasses. "I take it this isn't a courtesy visit."

"No, doctor. Something came up. Something from our work that has caused us lots of trouble."

"Australium, I presume."

"Yes, doctor. And Talon has gotten their hands on it. Some of their machines are already powered by it."

"Then that means they are already unlocking its secrets. And that would surely attract the attention of the Classic Medic and Engineer."

"Don't forget about her , doctor."

"Yes. Her. Where there is australium, she would surely be not far behind."

"Care to fill us in on who you are talking about?" Reaper interjected.

"Later. We have more important things to worry about now." Medic answered, ignoring Reaper's growls while turning back to Heavy. "I take it you are trying to get the team back together."

"Yes, doctor."

"Have you recruited any of the others yet, or am I the first?"

"You are first doctor. Can't leave behind one who keeps us alive."

"Danke." Medic said, smiling. "Now, where should we start?"

"Hold on." Soldier 76 said, getting their attention.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Before we begin, we need to know if we can trust you."

"You can trust Medic. He is a good doctor." Heavy interjected.

"And if my uncle trusts him, so do I." Zarya added.

"You must be Heavy's niece. A pleasure to meet you."

"Alright. But we have our eyes on you." Reaper warned.

"This will be fun." Medic said with a smile that sent shivers down everyone's spines.

"Oh, would you like to join our group? Heavy already has." Tracer asked. Reaper and Soldier 76 were about to speak up but decided to let him answer. While they felt uneasy about this man, he would be a valuable asset if he were even half as good as Heavy. And they knew that they would need all the help they could get going forward.

"Doctor?" Heavy asked, extending his hand. Medic looked at it for a moment before shaking it. He then turned back to everyone.

"Dr. Ludwig, at your medical service. But please, just call me Medic." He said, taking a slight bow.

"Ah, it's good to be on team again." Heavy said, glad that they were teammates again.

"Now, do you need anything before we leave?" Ana asked.

"I have everything I need. But might I bring someone along? I never go anywhere without him."

"Sure, but who?" Reaper asked.

"Archimedes." Medic called out while raising his hand with his index finger sticking out. Everyone was confused but understood what he was doing when a pigeon landed on Medic's finger. "My pet dove."

"Aw, how cute." said when Medic started petting the dove.

"Wait, is that blood on its chest?" Lucio asked, pointing to the red bloodstain.

"Oh, don't worry about it. Archimedes likes to mess around sometimes." Medic explained, forgetting that only his team knew that messing around stood for going into a patient's abdomen that was undergoing surgery.

"Well, it would be nice to have another bird as Ganymede was getting lonely." Mei said, smiling.

"Who?" Medic asked.

"Ganymede is the name of Bastion's pet bird. And Bastion is an omnic so that you know." Genji answered.

"Which reminds me, do you know how to heal omnics?" Ana asked.

"Yes, I do. At first, they were quite a challenge, but I can now heal them as easily as putting a baboon's uterus into a human patient."

"WHAT!" Everyone, minus Heavy, shouted, shocked.

"Yes, the procedure is quite simple. But that is a story for another time." Medic explained as Archimedes flew to his shoulder.

"Uh, I'll go start up the Orca." Tracer nervously said before blinking away, soon followed by a few others.

"We better get going. Every moment we waste here, Talon is one step closer to utilizing australium." Reaper said before motioning for them to follow.

"Medic." Zarya said, moving over to him.

"Yes? What is it?"

"You worked alongside my uncle for many years, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, since I can't get any stories from my uncle, do you think you can share some of your stories?" Zarya asked, unaware of the mistake she was asking.

"YES! Tell us of your stories on the front lines. I bet they are heroic tales of brave men fighting against tyranny." Reinhardt added, equally excited.

"And if you don't mind, would you share some of your medical stories." Mercy added.

"Very well." Medic said, adjusting his glasses. "Let's see. Ah, I have the perfect one. This one happened years ago at a place called the Granary."

Three Hours Later

"...And when the patient woke up, his skeleton was missing, and the doctor was never heard off again." Medic finished telling the story of how he lost his medical license the first time.

"HA! HA! HA!" Heavy laughed. No matter how many times he heard this story, he always found himself laughing. However, the Overwatch members were not laughing at all.

"You monster." Mercy managed to say in between fits of vomiting.

Currently, Heavy, Medic, and the Overwatch members were heading back to Gibraltar as the Orca was low on fuel, and they needed to resupply. But, and against Heavy's wishes, the Overwatch members kept asking Medic to tell them some of his stories from when he worked alongside Heavy. However, they all quickly regretted their decision when Medic started telling, in horrific detail, about all the experiments he did on his patients and teammates. For the first few stories, they surprisingly managed to keep themselves composed. Yet, that changed when Medic told them of the time he implanted a baboon's uterus into the Classic Heavy's abdomen. Once they managed to stop vomiting, they tried to ask Medic to stop, but he continued, with each story becoming more horrific. Although, unbeknownst to everyone, Heavy would have stopped Medic but thought the stories would act as suitable punishments for the younger members.

"¡Eres el diablo, bastardo enfermo!" Sombra said, wiping her mouth clean.

"I wouldn't be surprised if he is Satan." Reinhardt added, feeling his stomach churning at the thought of a patient still LIVING without a skeleton.

"Talvez devêssemos chamar-lhe Satanás." Lucio agreed, amping up his sound wave to help everyone relax.

"Er, I can't say I am him, but we have met on a few occasions." Medic said, recalling all the times he met the Devil and tricked him into returning to the land of the living.

"Are you serious?" Mercy asked in a deadpan throne as she finished vomiting.

"Quite, Fräulein."

"I can see now why you wouldn't tell us any of your stories, uncle." Zarya said, disturbed.

"Well, I do believe that I told my fair share of stories." Medic said, turning to Heavy and Zarya. "How did you become her uncle, Heavy?"

"Ah. Now that is a good story." Heavy said, smiling. But before he could begin, the alarms went off.

"Looks like your going to put that story on hold." Soldier 76 said as he, Winston, and Reaper came running into the room.

"What's happening?" asked.

"Talon is attacking an Omnics Rights movement in Kings Row." Reaper answered.

"EMILY! WE HAVE TO GET THERE NOW!" Tracer said before blinking into the cockpit. And, had everyone not fastened their belts, they would have been thrown across the room by the sudden change in direction the Orca took.

"Looks like its Team Time, doctor." Heavy said, grabbing his minigun.

"Right. So, let's go practice medicine." Medic agreed while taking out his medi gun.

Forty-Five Minutes Later

"Okay, we're here. Now, Talon is attacking where Mondatta's statue is located." Soldier 76 said as the Orca's doors lowered.

"And remember, don't abandon your Medics." Heavy reminded.

Nodding, everyone exited the Orca and headed toward Mondatta's statue. However, that would, unfortunately, take some time as Tracer had to land the Orca about a mile away to avoid Talon shooting them down. Luckily, Lucio's Amped Up Speed Boost allowed them to reach their destination quicker. Symmetra stayed behind to work on creating a shield generator as everyone knew that they would be under heavy fire from Talon. Yet, to everyone's surprise, they felt like they could tank more damage after Medic used his Medi Gun on them for a bit.

And that proved to be mighty helpful, for as soon as they neared Mondatta's statue, they came under immediate fire from Talon. Luckily, their overheal, as Medic calls it, allowed them to get to cover without sustaining any serious injuries. And from their cover, they could see that Talon had set up base inside the cathedral. Thankfully, there were no civilian casualties so far, and for the ones that were injured, Mercy quickly healed their wounds. However, that still left the question of how they would break through the lines as it was a stalemate. Any time someone would try to create an opening, they quickly retreated into cover to avoid getting gunned down. Yet, they knew that wouldn't last as Talon's Heavy Units slowly pushed forward while Talon's Snipers shut down any advancement they made. There were assassins out there as well, but thankfully, they didn't have to worry about them due to Junkrat's mines and traps while Torbjorn had his turret out.

"DAMMIT! WE NEED TO BREAK THROUGH THE LINES!" Soldier 76 said before firing some rockets to force a Talon Sniper to reposition themselves.

"AND WE BETTER COME UP WITH A WAY FAST AS WE'RE LOSING GROUND!" Reaper added before killing two Talon hostiles that tried their luck.

"Medic. Think you can give me some heals?" Tracer asked, appearing next to Medic and Heavy. Medic nodded and healed her back to full overheal. "Thanks."

"No problem, fraulein. Now-CAREFUL!" Medic before quickly taking out his Ubersaw and killing a Talon Assassin that snuck behind then and tried to kill Tracer.

"That was close. Thanks." Trace said, slightly disturbed at the blood that landed on her face.

"UNCLE!" Zarya shouted, getting their attention.

"WHAT?"

"Do you have a plan to break through this stalemate?" Zarya asked before ducking back into cover. But because of this, she missed the crazed look Medic gained.

"Uh, Medic. Why is your healing thingy crackling?" Tracer asked, pointing to Medic's Medi Gun. But instead of answering, he turned to Heavy and nodded.

"YOUNG ONES!" He shouted, getting their attention.

"WHAT!"

"THIS IS REWARD YOU GET FOR STICKING WITH YOUR MEDIC!"

Without waiting for them to say anything, Heavy and Medic exited their cover and moved directly into the line of fire. The Talon hostiles were confused for a moment but quickly composed themselves and focused fire on them. Some Talon operatives even took out rocket launchers and other explosive launchers.

"FIRE AT THOSE IDIOTS!" The Talon commander ordered.

"UNCLE!" Zarya shouted, worried.

"COVER THEM!" Solider 76 ordered, but it was too late.

*BOOM*

Too late for the Talon Operatives as before anyone could react, the duo emerged from the smoke unharmed. But what was most noticeable about them was the fact that they were now both glowing bright red and unaffected by anything Talon fired at them.

"HA! HA! HA! I AM BULLETPROOF!" Heavy shouted as he mowed down any Talon Hostile he spotted.

"FOCUS FIRE!" The Talon Commander ordered. All the remaining Talon hostiles fired everything they got but had no effect as the invincible glowing men mowed them all down with great joy.

"RUN, COWARDS! I'M COMING FOR YOU!" Heavy shouted as he killed the remaining Talon Heavy units and assassins.

"RETREAT! WE LOST THIS POSITION! RE-!" The commander began but fell to the floor when Widowmaker shot him in the head.

"KEEP UP THE PRESSURE! DON'T LET ANY ESCAPE!" Reaper shouted after snapping out of his shocked stupor. This also made everyone else snap to attention, and within moments all the Talon hostiles were dead. Unfortunately, while all Talon operatives outside the cathedral were killed, those on the inside managed to escape.

"HA! HA!" Heavy cheered as the Uber ended. He then turned to Medic with a smile on his face. "Feels good fight by your side again, Doctor."

"Same here, my friend."

"Uncle, what was that?" Zarya asked as they walked up to them, followed by the rest.

"And please don't say about protecting-" began but stopped when Brigitte slapped her head.

"It's called an Ubercharge. When charged, we become invulnerable to all damage for a full minute. It used to be only eight seconds, but I managed to upgrade it." Medic explained.

"Now, that is something that can help us turn the tide in any fight and possibly allow us to strike hard at any of Talon's bases without much resistance." Solider 76 said, already thinking of ways to best utilize an Ubercharge for future situations.

"Can you use it on anyone, or do they require something beforehand?" Mercy asked, curious.

"Yes. Without the needed modifications, the voltage produced by the Ubercharge would kill any person or omnic."

"What kind of modifications?" Ana asked through narrow eyes.

"We'll tell you later." Heavy answered, causing Ana to glare at him.

"Right. We should focus now on searching the cathedral for any intelligence Talon might have left behind." Reaper said as Sombra, Pharah, and Symmetra headed inside the cathedral.

"And once they are done with that, we'll head back to base to refuel and then search for your next teammate." Soldier 76a added.

"Who is he, and where is he located?" Tracer asked, curious. Medic and Heavy looked at each other for a moment before nodding.

"The Sniper. And he is in Australia."
