*Gibraltar: Watchpoint*

Lena waited in the Engineering Room, endlessly fidgeting in her seat as her leg bobs up and down rapidly as she waits for Winston and his team to finish the repairs so she could return to the meeting room.

Currently the meeting consists of Jack, Reinhardt, Torbjorn, and an aged historian whose name Lena forgotten. Despite her insistence, they remain divided if Quillion is a Talon spy or not while reviewing Lena's report regarding his frozen hibernation. She was in the meeting until her Chronal Accelerator began blinking randomly, forcing her to follow Winston so she will be in range to remain anchored to the present while it was brought for repairs.

"I don't get it Winston, don't they trust me?" she asked.

"They do trust you, however the day he arrived is the day our shuttle crashed into the hangar for the first time since my Recall, it will be hard to blame them for being cautious" he replied without looking up from his eyeglass as an engineer passed a tool for him.

Lena groaned and rest her head on her arms on the table. Though his words ring true, she is still upset that they treated Quillion like a criminal immediately. She wish Mercy is here to give her opinion but she is currently in the Operation Room, operating on Genji.

"What do you think happened? I mean... The only time I have seen Genji so hurt was our fight with Doomfist" she said worryingly.

"I don't know" he said "But if this is a new enemy, we need to be prepared"

Both stayed silent as those words hang in the air. Genji has always been one of Overwatch's best fighters. To see him bested and so damaged is a rare and concerning occurrence.

"And his shuttle... It looked like as if it was being crushed by something, what could've done that..." Lena continued slowly.

Winston said nothing for a moment. He has been bothered by the sight of the shuttle as well.

"We just need to wait for Genji to wake up to tell us" he replied confidently.

"Yeah... Just need to wait..." Lena said, more to herself than Winston.

Soon silence fell between them, the only sounds are Winston's tools poking at the Accelerator, sparks flying randomly as he worked.

"And… Done, good as new" Winston declared, holding up her Chronal Accelerator.

Lena gave a whoop and ran towards him, grabbing her harness and strap it onto herself as fast as she could.

"Whoa there Lena, you have to remember that…"

"To always be careful and use it responsibly, okay got it! Cheers Winston!" Lena said quickly before blinking away.

"Well, she is more active than usual" Athena voiced out.

"She has a good heart, she has always been eager to help her friends" Winston sighed.

"I thought we are all her friends"

Winston chuckled "We are her family Anthena, it is different"

"How is it different?"

"There some things that a family member will not share with one another. However to a friend? It is much easier" he said as he reached for a peanut butter jar.

"And our new… Guest… Is her friend?" Athena asked.

"I hope so… She does not have many friends… Let's just hope that Jack and the others will be lenient"

*Gibraltar: Watchpoint Meeting Room*

Tracer blinked outside of the meeting room door, trying to eavesdrop on what was being said by pressing her ear against the door.

Unfortunately, the doors are thick and the only voice she could hear is Reinhardt, which was no surprise considering he has always enjoyed being the loudest. From what she could make out, he was agreeing to something enthusiastically while laughing loudly.

"That's good, laughter is good" she muttered under her breath as she pressed her ears harder against the door but to no avail as the voices continued to be blunted mutters. It was not long before the impatient Brit had enough.

"Sod it" she said, opening the doors and walking in, gaining the attention of everyone in the room. Jack is holding some papers while the historian is standing over him, as if in the middle of explaining something, as Reinhardt and Torbjorn are reviewing the recording when they arrested Quillion in a holo vid earlier. She had to make an attempt not to wince when the recording replay Quillion being thrown into the wall by Reinhardt's charge.

"Lena" Jack said "We were just about to call you in, please take a seat"

"So what's the verdict?" Lena said as she took a seat next to Reinhardt while Jack motion the historian to explain.

"It took a while but I think we found something that fits your report" the historian said while flicking his fingers on his tablet and mirroring it onto the screen.

"Athena, if you please"

"Of course" the AI responded "30-33 years ago the Omnic Crisis began, attacking countries randomly. Due to its urgency, the United States issued the classified Soldier Enhancement Program to create the perfect soldier"

Lena nodded impatiently, the inner circle of Overwatch all know this "So what does this have to do with-"

"But results from conventional testing is too slow" Athena continued, ignoring Lena "In desperation they called for volunteers from different countries to risk their lives to speed up the research"

Everyone quickly glance at Jack for confirmation which he gave with a small nod.

"The prospect of potentially becoming the perfect soldier was well received and thousands of soldiers volunteered, however the results from this stage is undocumented"

"I was told there was an 84% fatality rate, out of the thousands, only hundreds survived" Jack said without emotion.

"During this period there is a curious little article that mention a rise of superior class soldiers" the historian added.

"What happened to these men?" Reinhardt asked "I fought in many battlefields and I have never seen them"

"Most countries sent them to the front immediately, unbeknownst to them that the survivors will suffer major side effects which normally lead to fatal results" Morrison said.

"Combining all this information, we may have found information regarding the prisoner, we estimate that there were 40 volunteers from Malaysia and only 5 survived" Athena finished.

"All the names of the 5 and dates are redacted, so we know little to nothing about them. However, we did find a record of a project regarding a highly experimental Cryo Freezing Project that had been conducted in Malaysia as well, therefore..." the historian said.

"Therefore, it is probable that your friend could be a survivor like Mei" Morrison said "As Torbjorn just confirmed that his weapon models are close to that period"

Lena almost jumped with joy.

"So he is going to be released?" she asked hopefully.

Jack looked at her for a few seconds before "We need to confirm two more things before we can consider letting him out"

"What might those be?" she asked her smile fading slightly.

"First, we will interview him to see if his story matches your report and our records. Second, if his story is consistent, we need to know if he will join us or leave, either choice will be dealt with as per our procedures"

"So... When will the interview start?" Lena asked, her eyes narrowing.

"I am currently speaking to him now" Athena said "But he has been uncooperative. He said he will not answer any questions we ask until, and I quote, we "apologize with a bed of roses""

"Maybe I knocked him a bit too hard eh? Hahahahahaha" laughed Reinhardt.

"Knocked him? You barely touched him!" Torbjorn countered.

"Did you not see him flying to the wall? I definitely got him!" Reinhardt shot back.

Their banter went on for a few minutes before Jack stopped it.

"Keep trying Athena, he will talk sooner or later"

"I can get him to talk!" Lena interjected, her hand in the air as if in a classroom.

"Lena, I know that you feel somewhat responsible for him because you rescued him and he did the same in turn, but we could not risk the security of our operation because of that" Jack said.

"You are already having enough trouble talking to him, maybe he just needs a friendly face yeah? Maybe he'd answer the questions if I'm there" she countered.

Jack thought about this for a moment.

It is true that he might trust her more than them and would get him to talk, but is she doing this for personal gain or for Overwatch?

"Is this even something to ponder on Jack?" Torbjorn voiced out "Lena has been one of our most capable agents, surely she can get him to talk"

"I shall go with her!" Reinhardt said loudly "If anything goes wrong, she can get behind me!"

"Err... No... I think I'll be fine alone luv, besides, Athena will be there to watch over me"

"Very well, go ask him about his background and if he chooses to stay or leave" Morrison conceded.

"Yessir!" Lena said, giving a 2-finger salute before disappearing in a blue light.
