My Uncle's Team
Chap 5
"Our next teammates are Spy and Scout." Sniper, Heavy, and Medic simultaneously answered.
"Oh, a double. I wonder how they'll be and what they can do." said, curious.
"Hopefully, they're nowhere as near disgusting as this Sniper." Sombra commented as Medic used his Medigun on her to remove the Jarate effect.
"We should probably avoid telling her about Mad Milk. I still don't know what it is, and I doubt even the ankle biter knows." Sniper whispered to Medic and Heavy, both of which nodded.
"But unless they are close by each other, I don't think we'll be able to pick them both up as we don't have a lot of fuel left." Tracer said as she blinked in front of everyone.
"Then it shouldn't be a problem as Scout and Spy live near each other now." Sniper said.
"Now?" Pharah asked, curious.
"They used to hate each other but made amends a while back. It's best if they explain it themselves." Medic explained before turning to Sombra. "Okay, Fräulein. That should do it. Although, I do recommend taking a long shower later to get rid of the smell."
"Uh, thanks. If anyone needs me, though, I'll be on the Orca, trying not to throw up." Sombra said before running to the ship.
"So where are Spy and Scout located, uncle?" Zarya asked.
"They live in Boston, Massachusetts, near Fenway Park, little bear. Scout was born there and loved to be near anything baseball related. Spy moved there while back to be with loved one." Heavy answered.
"Ah, good old USA." Soldier 76 said, smiling beneath his mask.
"Never was one for what Boston offers in terms of food, nor was I ever really a big baseball fan. But they do have some great cannolis and decent beers." Cassidy added.
"Wait till you try my family's moonshine and that snake's cannolis. I guarantee you they will be the best you'll ever taste." Sniper said.
"Just try not to do what you did to Tavish and Miss Pauling, Sniper. I don't think they'll be able to handle it." Medic said, chuckling.
"What?" Mercy asked, confused and worried.
"Inside joke between another teammate and us. You'll understand when you see him." Heavy answered.
"Anyway, times a wasting. Let's get going, loves." Tracer said before blinking away toward the Orca.
"Peppy Sheila, ain't she." Sniper said, chuckling.
"You said it." Junkrat agreed.
"Anything you need to get before we leave, Sniper?" Reaper asked.
"Mr. Mundy. And Nah, I got everything I need right here." Sniper answered, holding up a bag.
"What about van?" Heavy asked, curious as he remembered Sniper never went anywhere without his camper.
"Had to scrap it a while back. Already had decent mileage before joining Red Team."
"I'm honestly surprised it was never destroyed during our years working for Redmond." Medic added.
"Same here, Doc. But then again, nothing is it seems when it comes to us, Mercs."
Heavy, Sniper, and Medic chuckled a bit as memories of their time working for Redmond came to mind. While it wasn't always good or 'sane,' they did look back at those times with fondness. However, those memories quickly turned as the less pleasant events resurfaced. The Robot Wars and facing off against their classic counterparts certainly left them with many scars. But they knew those battles were nothing, and their sacrifices would mean nothing if they allowed Talon to get their hands on Australium or recruit the TFC Medic or TFC Engineer. But Medic, Heavy, and Sniper knew the real threat was the Administrator.
"She knows what we're doing, doesn't she?" Sniper solemnly asked.
"More than likely." Medic answered.
"Should we tell the others?"
"Our teammates, yes. Overwatch, no. They have enough with Talon. Last thing they need on plate is more dangerous people." Heavy answered.
"Then we better hurry. I doubt The Administrator lost her touch. And I'm sure she is already pulling some strings to either stop us or get Talon to meet our classic counterparts. Not to mention, she probably has some Australium already."
"But that will not stop us. We will find her, Sniper. And we will crush her." Heavy assured.
"Of that, I have no doubt, my friends." Medic agreed. Nodding, Sniper, Heavy, and Medic ran after the Overwatch members to catch up. But all of them were unaware that someone was watching them this whole time.
Some Unknown Location
"You don't know how right you are, Mr. Mundy. And soon, I'll finally be able to pay off my debt." A mysterious aged lady said as she watched the Mercs and Overwatch members enter the Orca. However, her head went limp right after, with a machine beeping wildly next to her. It then sent a powerful electrical shock to the lady, reviving her. "Damn it. Not again. I'm running out of time."
The lady got up from her chair and walked over to a nearby monitor. She then brought up an interface that showed the levels in her unique life-support machine. And to her great annoyance, it showed that the fuel levels were nearly empty. Growling, the lady slammed her fist into the console, nearly destroying it.
"Soon. Soon I'll have what I've always wanted. But first, a test to see if the Mercs and Talon are truly worth my time." With that said, the lady retreated into the darkness, ready to continue her plans. Yet, she was unaware an old acquaintance was listening to her this whole time.
Mercs and Overwatch Heroes
"So, why did you become a sniper, Mr. Mundy?" Mei asked as Tracer flew the Orca to their destination.
"Sniping is a good job, mate. It's challenging work; outdoors. I guarantee you won't go hungry 'cause at the end of the day, as long as there are two people left on the planet, someone is going to want someone dead."
"That's, unfortunately, true. The part about people constantly wanting others dead, I mean." Mercy said before clarifying.
"Eh, true or not, it still brings in lots of money."
"Do you go around taking any bounty you see?" Roadhog asked.
"Nah. I only take bounties that want me to go after blokes that need a bullet in their heads, like some corrupt politicians or molesters."
"That's good." Pharah said.
"But do you ever feel bad about the families of the ones you killed caused by your chaotic behaviors and barbaric ways of ending someone's life?" Symmetra asked.
"Tch, feelings?" Sniper asked, sounding slightly offended. "Look, mates. You know who has lots of feelings. Folks who bludgeon their wives to death with a golf trophy."
"Then how would you describe yourself?" Reaper asked, feeling slightly off-put by Sniper's description of people with 'feelings.'
"I'm a professional. And professionals have standards."
"Like?" Reinhardt asked, curious.
"Be polite. Be efficient. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet."
"Does that include dousing people with your piss?" Sombra asked, glaring at Sniper.
"Yeah. Got to have some way of dealing with those pesky snakes trying to sneak up behind ya and backstab you."
"By snakes, I presume you mean Spy?" Winston asked.
"Yup. He's got some fancy tech like this feisty one here. And the piss will reveal him to everyone." Sniper explained, earning a growl from Sombra.
"Disgusting but effective, wouldn't you say, Roadie?" Junkrat asked, cackling.
"Yeah." Roadhog answered.
"Effective or not, I would still need you to come to my office so I can examine you, Mr. Mundy." Mercy said.
"Sure thing, doc." Sniper answered.
"You know, seeing Sniper in action has me curious." said, getting everyone's attention.
"About what?" Brigitte asked.
"Which team has the best sniper? Ours or theirs." answered, pointing between Ana, Widowmaker, and Sniper.
"It would be interesting to see who is the better marksman." Ana said.
"Just so long as he keeps that filthy jar and its contents away from us." Widowmaker added.
"No promises." Sniper said, smirking.
"But what about Hanzo?" Zenyatta asked, curious.
"What about me?" Hanzo asked.
"Do you not consider him a sniper?"
"I do. But it's not the same. And I want to see who has the better rifle." explained.
"Are you saying I can't outperform someone because I have a bow and arrow?" Hanzo asked, raising an eyebrow.
"N-no. I-"
"Listen here, you little ankle-biter. Just because someone uses a different weapon doesn't mean they can't kill you." Sniper said. But before could make a retort for the name, she stopped when she saw Sniper reach into his bag and pull out a bow and arrow. "But if you're so keen on making it an even playing field, so to speak, we can make that happen."
"Wait. You know how to wield the bow and arrow?" Hanzo asked, surprised.
"Yup. I call this beaut the Huntsman." Sniper said, smiling at his bow.
"More fitting name is Lucksman." Heavy commented, with Medic agreeing as they both remembered all the cheeky kills Sniper got from using the bow and arrow.
"Very well. When we have the time, we shall see whose bow skill is superior." Hanzo said with his tattoos briefly glowing.
'Okay, loves. This is your captain speaking. We should be arriving in Boston, Massachusetts, in about a half hour. And then give us a few minutes, and we'll land near Fenway Park.' Tracer said over the intercoms.
"That should give us enough time for you three to give us some info on your teammates." Soldier 76 said.
"Very well. What would you like to know?" Heavy asked.
"From their names alone, we know what they specialize in." Reaper began. "But we would like to know how they do so."
"Scout is the little bugger that likes to get in, hit hard with his scattergun, and get out before anyone notices or could react." Sniper began.
"And ze Spy is a man of mystery. He can cloak and disguise as anyone he pleases. And when I say this, I mean he can become a perfect copy of the person as he can mimic their voice." Medic added.
"Spy also has device to destroy machines and knows how to kill others with one strike." Heavy finished.
"So, that's why you asked if we already picked him up when you 'heard' Sombra sneaking around earlier." Lucio said with Sniper nodding.
"Yup. We had to deal with a snake like that for a long time that we had to develop a method of tracking him down."
"What did you call it?" Genji asked.
"We never really gave it name. We simply called it spy-checking." Heavy answered.
"Think you can teach me your methods?" Widowmaker asked, glancing at Sombra.
"Sure." Sniper grinned with Medic and Heavy chuckling.
Meanwhile
Little League Park, Near Fenway Park
'That's my boy.' A figure thought as he watched a young man that appeared to be in his mid-twenties teaching some kids how to play baseball. However, if anyone knew their music history and were paying close attention, they would become confused as the figure should be nothing more than dust now. The figure in question was the singer Tom Jones.
"Way to go, Slugger." The young man said as the kid he was helping hit the ball. "And it looks like this was the farthest you hit the ball."
"Thanks, Jeremy." The kid said, smiling.
"Hey, no problem, kid. Now go run to your parents. Training is over for today." Jeremy said.
"See you next week." The kid said before running home.
"Ah, kids." Jeremy, AKA Scout, said, chuckling. Once the kid left the field, Scout turned to the bleachers and headed toward 'Tom Jones.' "Enjoying yourself, Spy?"
"Indeed." Spy said as his disguise faded to reveal he was wearing the same outfit he wore while working for Red Team. "Although, I'm still surprised you didn't continue trying to go for the major leagues."
"Eh, I got tired of trying to get recruited. And then, after seeing some of the deals they offered, I figured it wasn't worth it."
"But you still wanted to stick to something baseball related."
"Yup. And teaching some kids the joys of playing baseball was the next best thing."
"Will I ever see grandkids in the future?" Spy asked with a smirk.
"Not likely, considering my heart goes to Miss. Pauling. Even though we hadn't seen her since we defeated the TFC team."
"Anyway, let's head to our homes. It was a long day, and we both deserve a rest."
"You said it." Scout said as the duo left the field and walked toward the respective homes. However, a couple of minutes into their walk, Scout became deep in thought. "Hey, Spy."
"Yes, Jeremy?"
"Do you think we will ever see the others again?"
"I'm not sure, Jeremy. We did lose contact a while back, and I have not recently seen any reports or news articles involving our teammates. The last one I read that mentioned our friends was a few months ago when Sniper bagged some poachers."
"I wonder if it would be possible to get together at one point."
"It would be nice seeing them again, even the bushman."
"And what about mumbles?"
"Yes, even the abomination." Spy said, shuddering as the memories of the arsonist burning him alive came to mind. But he snapped back to attention when he and Scout heard the sounds of an aircraft approaching. Looking at the sky, they noticed it was an Orca the recently reestablished Overwatch group used to travel. Thinking that something terrible was about to happen, which generally involved Talon, Spy and Scout raced toward where the Orca was heading.
Other Mercs and Overwatch Heroes
"We're here, loves." Tracer said as she blinked in front of the others.
"And not a moment too soon. I can't wait to meet Spy and Scout." said. "They seem like they enjoy having a good time. Well, Scout, anyway."
"And thank you three for the wonderful advice on how to spy check." Windowmaker said with a smirk while eyeing Sombra.
"No problem. Be sure to put it to good use." Sniper said as Sombra slowly moved away from them.
"I will."
"So, where can we meet your teammates?" Reinhardt asked as they waited for the Orca doors to open.
"We don't need to go anywhere. Here comes the Scout." Sniper answered, pointing to the distance where two figures were running toward them.
"And the other figure?" Reaper asked.
"You'll see." Medic answered as he, Sniper, and Heavy walked off the Orca to greet the two.
"Hey, hey, hey. It looks like we got here just in time." Scout said as he and the other figure reached the Orca. "Where's the fire?"
"Good to see you too, you little ankle biter." Sniper said, chuckling as he tipped his hat.
"Same here, camper." Scout said, laughing. "And good to see you too, Lard Ass and Doc."
"Good to see, Tiny Baby Man." Heavy said, smiling.
"It's sssoooo good to see one of my earlier experiments. I wonder if all my adjustments are still working. I'm sure they are, but it wouldn't hurt to perform some invasive exploratory surgery on you, Scout." Medic grinned while pulling on the bottom of his medical glove and letting go a second later, resulting in a loud snap. The sound caused a shiver to go down all the Overwatch heroes' spines while the Mercs simply laughed.
"Ah, doctor, doctor, doctor. Never change." Scout said, smiling.
"Well, aside from that line, that makes me fear and worry for any of Ludwig's patients." Ana said, stepping to the side while grabbing Pharah's hand. "You must be the Scout."
"That's right. I am the Scout here, and don't you forget it." Scout said, opening his arms wide and basking in his ego.
"Then, who is your friend here?" Symmetra asked.
"We'll give one hint." Heavy said before turning to the figure and nodding. The figure nodded back before taking out what seemed to be a notepad and opening it. And to the Overwatch members' shock, smoke covered the figure momentarily before fading to reveal the figure now precisely resembling Reaper.
"Wow." Lucio, Junkrat, Mei, , and Tracer said, amazed. And the rest are speechless while Reaper silently fumes.
"That's amazing." Cassidy said, rubbing his eyes.
"Thanks." The fake 'Reaper' said, further shocking everyone as even the voice was precisely the same as the real one.
"You know, now that I can see you in a different light, you are definitely wearing too much black, dad." Sombra said, looking up and down at the real Reaper and the fake one.
"So I take it you are the Spy." The actual Reaper said, clenching his fists and silently praying for god to give him patience.
"Oui. I am the Spy." The figure answered as his disguise faded to reveal his true form.
"Good to see you, snake." Sniper said.
"Same here, bushman." Spy said before turning to Heavy and Medic. "Hello, Mikhail. Ludwig."
"Spy." Medic ad Heavy replied.
"That's amazing. How do you do that?" asked.
"A trade secret that involved years of practice." Spy answered.
"Can you disguise yourself as anyone?" Lucio asked.
"Yes. But I would need to know what they look like and how they sound for it to work. Other than that, there is no limit as to who I can disguise."
"Now, that's a mighty useful ability to have." Junkrat said.
"Indeed."
"So what brings you three here along with Overwatch?" Scout asked.
"And on such short notice, might I add." Spy said.
"Talon got their hands on something you two had a run-in with in the past." Soldier 76 answered.
"Australium." Spy and Scout simultaneously said.
"And we fear Talon might bring our Classic counterparts along with special help." Heavy added with Spy and Scout catching the hidden meaning.
"Yeah, that's bad." Scout said.
"That explains your sudden arrival. You three are getting the team back together to stop Talon." Spy said.
"Well, it started after uncle here saved my comrades and me from Talon's machines. He then discovered the australium powering the robots and decided it would be best to get his old team together." Zarya answered.
"Wait, your Heavy's niece?" Scout asked, surprised.
"Little bear is my niece. It's long story." Heavy said.
"Now that you two know what we are dealing with, are you willing to join?" Reaper asked. Scout and Spy looked at each other for a moment before shrugging.
"Sure."
"Yes."
"Welcome aboard loves." Tracer shouted.
"Do you need anything before we leave?" Mercy asked.
"Nah, not really. We travel light." Scout answered.
"A habit from our days working on Red Team." Spy added.
"Alright then. Get on, and we can head back to base to refuel before looking for the rest of your teammates." Soldier 76 said. Spy and Scout nodded before boarding the Orca, followed by the others. However, before the Orca could close its doors, a sudden explosion caught everyone's attention.
*BOOM*
"What the bloody hell was that?" Sniper asked as they saw a black cloud of dust rise from nearby.
"I don't know. But we better check it out." Pharah said while loading her rockets.
"Wait a minute. It's coming from where the orphanage is." Scout said, horrified.
"Then we have no time to lose. Tracer, Lucio, , Reinhardt. You four go on ahead and try and save as many kids as possible." Soldier 76 ordered.
"On it." They said before running/charging toward their destination.
"Pharah. Grab Ana and Sniper and bring them to the top of one of these buildings, where they would have a clear vantage point of the orphanage. I feel like we would need it. Hanzo, Widowmaker. Go with them."
"Keep the piss inside you." Pharah said before grabbing Sniper and Ana and taking them to the top of the nearby buildings, followed by Widowmaker and Hanzo.
"The rest of you- Where's he going?" Soldier 76 began but asked when he saw Scout running toward the orphanage at speeds he wasn't expecting. Even Tracer was having a hard time keeping up with Scout.
"There is reason he is called Scout." Heavy said, smirking.
"Anyway." Soldier 76 said, shaking his head. "We better hurry and board the Orca. The others will be able to hold Talon or whoever is attacking off until we get there."
Nodding, everyone boarded the Orca while preparing themselves for the battle; unaware someone was watching and recording the entire thing.
Orphanage
"Something is not right." The Talon commander in charge of the invasion said as she observed the area Talon destroyed. She knew Talon was ruthless when it came to achieving their goals, but going after an orphanage wasn't something even Talon wouldn't do. Doomfist even made it known in several meetings that Talon would never harm orphanages. To the commander, it seemed something that Moira would authorize. "But orders are orders."
"We secured all the kids and adults in the building, mam." A Talon Enforcer reported, walking up to the commander.
"Good."
"Permission to speak, mam."
"Granted."
"Remind me again, why are we attacking this random orphanage and securing everyone inside?"
"Honestly, I don't know anymore. We received an order to clear out this building, wipe out any resistance, and secure anybody inside. And then search for this weird gold-colored rock/bar thing that can supposedly power all of our machinery. But why on earth would it be in an orphanage? Something is not right here."
"I'll say. Doomfist banned Moira from ordering any more missions after the last one, which ended in disaster."
"But orders are orders. Get back to your post. We need to keep this area secured until we find this rock." The commander ordered.
"Yes, mam." The Enforcer said. However, as soon as he turned around, he noticed something in the distance that was closing in fast. But he never got the chance to figure it out as a bullet ended his life.
"What the? IT'S OVERWATCH! EVERYONE! GET YOUR ASSES TO THE FRONT LINE AND FEND THEM OFF UNTIL THE OTHERS FIND WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR!" The Talon commander barked. But as soon as she said this, three more Talon troops fell to the ground. One was killed by a rocket, the second by an arrow, and the final one by another bullet.
Mercs and Heroes
"There they are. The Talon bastards." Scout shouted as he ran toward the orphanage while holding his scattergun.
"We should think of a plan, Scout." Reinhardt wheezed out as he tried to keep pace.
"I have a plan. Don't get hit and free the kids." Scout said as he continued running despite Talon starting to fire at them.
Knowing Talon would probably use the kids as a shield, Scout decided to keep Talon's focus on him while the others freed the hostages. But that didn't mean he would not inflict pain and humiliate Talon. Ducking and weaving through the cars and rubble, Scout dodged all the bullets and missiles Talon sent his way until he was up close and personal with them.
"EAT IT, TALON!" Scout mocked as he ran up to two Talon Enforcers, shot them point-blank, and ducked out before anyone could hit him. Seeing a Talon Assassin heading for him, Scout double jumped out of the way before firing two shots at the Assassin's head, killing it. "HA HA! MISS ME!"
"WHAT YOU IDIOTS DOING!? KILL THAT, HUH!?" The Talon commander shouted, infuriated that her troops couldn't land a single hit on this scrawny kid. But her attention shifted when she heard a frightful whimper nearby. Looking behind her, she realized the kid was acting as a distraction to allow the other Overwatch members to free the hostages. "DON'T LET THEM ESCAPE!"
"GET BEHIND ME, EVERYONE! I WILL BE YOUR SHIELD!" Reinhardt declared while bringing his arm up and activating his shield.
"Calm down, kids. Everything will be alright." Lucio said as he played some soothing music to try and keep the kids calm despite the situation. "Tracer."
"Yeah."
"We got this. Go and help Scout."
"Are you sure? Scout seems like he's got everything under control. And you could use some extra firepower." Tracer asked before shooting some Talon Troopers that tried to flank them.
"I'm sure. can provide enough firepower, while Reinhardt's shield should keep us safe. And I can give us a speed boost so we can get out of here quicker."
"Alright. But be careful, loves." Tracer said before blinking toward Scout.
"Woah. Got some fancy tech there." Scout said before blasting three more Talon Enforcers with meatshots to the face.
"Yeah, Winston made it for me." Tracer said before blinking behind some Talon Troops and gunning them down.
"You'll have to tell me about it later."
"You betcha."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING!?" The Talon commander shouted, furious that two kids managed to kill off most of her unit without taking a scratch. Spotting a briefcase nearby, she ran over and opened it to reveal a launcher. The Talon commander picked it up and aimed it at Tracer and Scout. But before she could pull the trigger, someone shot it out of her hands.
"How's about ya call it a day?" Sniper shouted as he waved from a nearby building. Next to him were Hanzo, Widowmaker, and Ana, each supporting the others and taking out potential threats. But it was evident that Sniper had them beat in number of kills.
"Doomfist will want to know about this." The Talon commander said before running over to a nearby Talon vehicle to call for backup.
However, she became confused when it wouldn't activate. Figuring it got hit in the crossfire, The Talon commander ran to where she had her unit place some emergency communication devices and radios. But, just like with the vehicle, each wouldn't activate. The Talon commander wondered what could have caused this but got her answer when she felt a tipped blade pressed against her neck.
"You won't be telling anyone about this." The voice said before the owner plunged a butterfly knife into the commander's back, piercing the spine and killing her instantly. The body fell over to reveal Spy, cleaning his knife while retrieving his sapper. Hearing a low growling from behind him, Spy quickly turned around and fired a shot from his Ambassador into the head of an Assassin who tried to sneak up on him.
"Damn. Now that's a revolver." Cassidy said as he and the other Overwatch heroes finally arrived. They would have arrived earlier but had to land a bit farther than expected due to Talon firing at them. "Mind telling me who gave it to you?"
"Trade secret. But the person is also dead." Spy answered.
"Shame."
"Enough talking. We need to help the others." Reaper said before firing his shotguns.
Nodding, some Overwatch members rushed in to help Scout and Tracer distract Talon while the others helped escort the hostages to safety. Talon, seeing that Overwatch and their new help surrounding them decided it would be best if they tried to retreat to a better position. However, this proved nearly impossible as Sniper, Hanzo, Widowmaker, and Ana kept picking off any stragglers. And any time they tried to retaliate, Spy would backstab them before slipping away. Knowing they were trapped and outgunned, the remaining Talon members dropped their guns and surrendered. Unfortunately, before Reaper or Soldier 76 could give the order to tie the Talon Troops up, the sounds of a dropship approaching caught their attention. And from the ships came six Talon Heavy Assault Troops and eight Talon Assassins.
"SHIT! GET TO COVER!" Reaper ordered before turning into his wraith form to get to cover safely.
"Oi, Scout. You're hurt badly." Tracer said, noticing that Scout had a few bullet holes in his arms.
"Oh, didn't notice that." He said, sounding surprised. "Hey, doc. Come on, man."
"Hold still, Scout. This will only hurt for a moment." Medic said before firing his Syring Gun at Scout, healing him and making the wounds fade.
"I never had a problem before with needles. Now, I think I might." Tracer said, face pale as she watched Scout pull the giant syringe out of his arm.
"Surprisingly, they don't hurt." Scout said, surprising Tracer as he threw the needle to the side.
"Really?"
"Yeah, although that could just be from years of Medic shooting needles at me."
"MEDIC! HOW LONG UNTIL YOUR HEALING GUN IS READY!?" Soldier 76 shouted.
"Almost ready. Give it a few more minutes." Medic shouted as he healed everyone to full overheal to charge his medigun faster.
"You heard him. Hold out for a few more minutes, and we can push forward." However, everyone nearly froze in horror when they heard a young kid crying. Peeking around their cover, everyone saw a child, about eight years old, hiding behind an overturned car.
"Looks like we don't have a few moments." Pharah said, firing a few rockets before quickly retreating to cover.
"But how are we going to get to the kid? If we step out, we'll get gunned down instantly." Mei asked.
"Reinhardt, , Symmetra, Zarya. Do you think your shield will be able to last long enough?" Mercy asked.
"Even if we combine them at the right moment, we won't be able to make it past a few feet before they go down." Zarya answered before turning to Heavy. "Uncle. Do you have any ideas?"
"Yes. Scout." Heavy shouted.
"Gotcha." Scout said, smirking.
"You're not seriously thinking about going out there. It's suicide." Sombra asked, shocked.
"Watch and learn." Scout said, pulling out a soda can and opening it.
"Bonk: Atomic Rush? I never heard of that drink before." Symmetra said, causing Scout to laugh nervously.
"Yeah. But for your safety, never drink this. It's not exactly safe." Scout said before drinking the contents in one go. And as soon as he finished, an aura covered his body. "Let's do this."
"WAIT!" The overwatch heroes shouted as Scout left his cover.
"UN-FREAKIN'-TOUCHABLE!" Scout shouted as he ran toward the kid, confusing everyone as, despite the Heavy Assault units firing at him, none of the bullets seemed to connect.
"How is he doing that?" Mercy asked.
"And what was in that drink?" Brigitte asked.
"That is something only Scout can do after drinking his Bonk drink." Medic explained.
"What would happen if we drank it?" Genji asked.
"I would not recommend that unless you wish a painful death, as Bonk contains pure radiation." Medic explained with a chuckle.
"GOT THE KID!" Scout shouted as he picked up the kid and ran back toward the others.
"I AM FULLY CHARGED!" Medic shouted when his Medigun alerted him.
"Once Scout gets back, activate it." Solider 76 said with Medic nodding.
"Ya can't hit what ain't dere!" Scout mocked as he delivered the kid the Mercy.
"Danke." Mercy said as she began accessing the kid for any injuries. Scout nodded before running back to his spot. However, the Heavy Assault units, annoyed, decided to try a different tactic to deal with Scout. They shifted their aim to a car and fired at it. The result was the vehicle exploding with enough force to send Scout flying away. Thankfully, the Bonk: Atomic Ruch effect was still active, preventing Scout from getting hurt.
"WOAH!" Scout shouted as the explosion sent him over the nearby buildings.
"He will be fine. Scout has gone through far worse." Spy assured the others.
"If you say so." Mei said, unsure.
"It's Team Time, doctor." Heavy said, smiling.
"Get zem. Raus, Raus!" Medic said, activating the Ubercharge as Heavy ran into the open.
"HA, HA, HA! RUN COWARDS!" Heavy shouted as he fired Sasha at the Heavy Assault units. With no cover and limited mobility, the Heavy Assault units accepted their fate and let the two hundred dollar custom cartridge bullets tear them to shreds. The Assassins fared slightly better, but Spy put them down with a shot to the head from the Ambassador. And the ones he missed, the rest of the Overwatch heroes, took care of and eliminated.
"Is everyone okay?" Mercy asked as she healed the members who were hurt.
"Yeah, we're okay, Mercy." Mei answered.
"But what about Scout?" Sombra asked.
"Scout is fine. He will join us in a moment." Spy assured before a noise attracted their attention to a nearby wrecked car. A moment later, a Talon Enforcer stood up. "In the meantime, we should check to see if any Talon agents remain in the building."
"Right. Cassidy, Sombra, Mercy, Zarya, Mei, Symmetra. Go inside the orphanage and check for any Talon agents and kids they might have missed." Reaper ordered. "We'll deal with this guy."
"Right." They said before heading into the building.
"Now. I think you know how this goes." Reaper said, cracking his knuckles as he approached the Talon agent.
"Oh, I know. But if I'm going down, I'm taking at least one of you with me." The Talon agent declared before bringing up a grenade launcher and firing it with the grenade hitting Spy and exploding on impact, causing chunks of his body to go everywhere. However, while the Overwatch heroes were horrified, the Mercs were unfazed. Seeing this as his chance to escape, the Talon agent threw the launcher at everyone before running as fast as possible. But before he could get far, a baseball hit him on the head, stunning him.
"BOOM! I'M BACK, DUMMY!" Scout declared as he ran up to the others before picking up his baseball.
"Scout. You're alive and unharmed." Brigitte said, surprised.
"The power of Bonk." Scout said with a smirk as he rested his Sandman bat on his shoulder.
"Augh. What did I just get hit with?" The Talon agent said, turning around once the stars swarming his vision faded. But before he could do anything, a loud buzzing sound caught everyone's attention as Spy appeared from thin air next to the Talon Agent.
"You got hit with a Sandman Ball. And it seems like you chose death." Spy said before delivering three swift stabs to the Talon Agent's body, killing him. Spy then cleaned his knife before turning to the others. "I told you Scout was okay."
"But how are you not dead?" Pharah asked, shocked.
"Simple. I used my Dead Ringer. It allows me to feign my death and leave a fake body of myself behind to confuse others." Spy explained while showing off his Dead Ringer.
"I'm starting to think you guys can do the impossible, like bringing someone back from the dead." Junkrat said.
"Outside of our respawn machines, yeah. Medic brought me back to life after I died." Sniper said as he, Widowmaker, Hanzo, and Ana arrived.
"Now, that sounds like an interesting story, uncle." Zarya said as she, Cassidy, Sombra, Mercy, Mei, and Symmetra exited the building.
"We'll tell you on trip to our next teammate's location." Heavy said.
"What did you all find?" Soldier 76 asked.
"Thankfully, nothing. No Talon Agents and no other hostages or kids left behind. Everyone is safe." Symetra answered.
"But they did leave behind some tech I can hack to gain some useful information. Be right back." Sombra added before disappearing.
"Now that we're done here, where to next and who are we picking up after we refuel?" Tracer asked.
"We should probably get our explosives friends first." Spy said to his fellow Mercs.
"Not looking forward to that, but I am looking forward to finally trying that Scotch of his." Scout added.
"Did I hear explosives?" Junkrat asked, cackling. "Who are we picking up next?"
"Our friends, the Demoman and Soldier." The Mercs answered.
