Hey guys, GameQ here with the another chapter you've all been waiting for, chapter 11. By the way, thanks for your reviews concerning about whether or not Bell should be removed, you're reviews mean a lot to me. And in case none of you didn't notice, i updated the announcement chapter to declare Bell removed from the future. Some previous chapters were edited because of this, just another thing you should know. Okay let's check some of the reviews, my apologies if yours isn't them.
Gues10 UK, thank you for your kind review, makes me happy to see another reading enjoying my fanfic. Again i'm not sure about this fanfic being in a SFM animation. That's a little bit too much. The best i could ask for is a well made poster for Time Error, and I already have one of my friends doing a couple for me.
Treefrogger: Well then. Lets wait another day for this to come back and then a while for this to disappear...
Mr. Frog...i don't feel so good.
Lauren Thorn, the reason why I haven't added the other mercenaries into this story is because i'm still sort of following my original idea back in Time Error version 1, I don't wish to add too many characters into the story otherwise i'll have a hard time keeping track of them. But I may make another story where the Overwatch heroes interacts with the MannCo. mercenaries.
Okay let's continue to the story!
I now give you chapter 11, i hope you enjoy.
Time Error
Chapter 11
"YEEEHAW!" Engineer's battle cry filled the bar as he gave the giant one hard slug to the face with his gunslinger. Many bits of teeth flew from the man's mouth as he dropped to the floor knocked cold. The crowd surrounding Engineer and the giant cheered and groaned due to the bets they have made while the two fought.
"Hell, that was easy." Engineer said as he wiped some blood from his bleeding lip. It wasn't so hard for him to defeat the giant man because the big oaf was drunk, he wasn't. This made dodging a breeze for Engie, though he still took a couple hits.
"Fuck yeah! I just got fifty bucks from this!" A stranger yelled who Engie recognized him as the person he asked earlier of where the bathroom was. Speaking of which, Engineer still had to use the restroom and was about to until he was grabbed by man.
"Sir, you have to leave." The man said.
"Hold on sir I ain't the one who started this mess it was that mean fellur' on the floor right d'ere."
"A bar fight is not what I will tolerate in here, you BOTH will get out of this building now." The man said, Engineer now understands that this man is the bartender.
"Listen mister I really meant no trouble it won't happen again and d'eres a lady waiting for me-"
"Get out of my bar, now!" The bartender grew irritated as Engineer continued to talk back.
"Can't I at least use the restroom?" The bartender had enough and whipped out a sawn-off shotgun.
"I'll take that as a no." Engineer calmly said before casually walking towards the nearest exit.
"And don't come back!" The man shouted before looking down at the unconscious man. "Ugh someone help me get this bugger out of here."
After watching the scene end, Symmetra sighed and went through the exit Engineer used. When she walked outside she was surprised to not find Engie anywhere.
"Dell...Dell?" Symmetra called out, but did not receive an answer. She slightly began to panic, wondering where Engie could have possibly gone. But she then heard a whistle coming from an alleyway next to the bar, then a slight zip.
"Dell?" She called out again, and to her relief she received a response.
"Hmm? Satya?" Dell walked out of the alleyway. "Oh you're here, well that makes things easy, I was wondering how I was going to get back in there to find you."
Symmetra walked up to Engineer, "Are you hurt?"
"Ah I'm fine Satya."
"Good!" Dell was surprised by the quick slap in the face he received from Satya, a handprint beginning to form on his cheek. It stung as he lightly held it in shock.
"S…Satya?" Engie could only utter before Symmetra shut him up.
"Don't you dare use my name!" She hissed, Dell fell silent while looking at her dumbfounded. "One moment I'm waiting for you back at the table, next I am watching you get kicked out of the bar because you got into a bar fight."
"Well it wasn't my intent-" Symmetra interrupted him again.
"A bar fight. Of all things you had to fall for, I expected better from you but it looks like I expected wrong." Symmetra turned her back on him and crossed her arms with a sigh. "You're supposed to be a hero, Engineer. Heroes don't fall for something so low."
The two remained silent, but Engineer stared at her with guilt. "That's the problem here Satya, I'm not a hero." Engie thought.
"Sorry for slapping you Engie…I think the beverages are starting to get to me." She apologized, rubbing her temples.
"Guess it is, since you never called me Engie till now." Engineer stated. Symmetra froze for a moment before letting out a little laugh, then turning her head towards him.
"Let us return back to the base, I think I'm done for the day." Satya said while holding out her hand towards him, her face slightly flushed as she smiled at him with a dreamy expression.
"Yep, you're going under. Let's get going." Engineer said while awkwardly avoiding her hand. What else is he suppose to do? She just slapped him a couple seconds ago.
"Wait what about Scout and Tracer, how're we gonna find them?" Engie asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah…damn I forgot about that." Symmetra said, surprising Engineer even more.
"Did you just say…" Dell fought to control his laughter.
"What? Damn? Yes I said damn, I'm a grown woman Dell I can say whatever the hell I want!" Satya yelled while Dell tried to shush her.
"Umm Satya, I thought you said you can handle alcohol?"
"Yeah I can handle it, you on the other hand look blurry, what the hell?" Symmetra said as she leaned over touched Dell.
"Okay maybe we shouldn't have stayed there for 3 hours, because you're obviously gone at this point." Engineer said as Symmetra poked and inspected his cheek until she gasped.
"Dell who slapped you?" It was now Engie's turn to sigh. He grasped Satya's hand with his own and then began leading her at a slow pace so she wouldn't fall over, but he failed to notice the blush on her face when he grabbed her hand.
"How am I going to find Scout and Tracer while in this mess?" Engineer mumbled to himself.
"Oh yeah, hold on let me get take something out." Engineer stopped and watched as Symmetra pulled out what looked like a phone and began tapping on the screen. After a couple moments, she put the device away.
"There, they should be meeting us at our rendezvous point." She said while rubbing her head, staring at the device too long gave her a headache.
"Annnnd where would that be?" Engineer questioned.
"Here. So now we just wait until they show up I guess." Symmetra said, though swaying a little due to her vision giving her dizziness.
Engie doubted she would be able to hold up for long and spotted a bench in a park nearby. After carefully crossing the street and entering the park, they both sat down together.
"We didn't go too far from the rendezvous point so I'm pretty sure they'll be able to see us when they get here. Right Satya?" Engineer didn't receive a reply back, but felt some weight on his left shoulder. He turned to see that Symmetra had laid her head against him and was now sleeping. Dell rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"And earlier you were lecturing me about how I was supposed to be a hero?"
*Tracer and Scout*
Scout and Tracer were currently in an Airplane Museum, after Tracer had shown Scout the sites for baseball she decided to have Scout see her interests. Scout agreed since she helped him get the Sandman and allowed her to lead him there.
During their time there, Scout had surprisingly admitted he wanted to fly a plane before. But he never got the chance to learn how to fly one, and so he gave up on it. Tracer made a mental note to do something about that. Suddenly Tracer felt a vibration from her phone and received a notification. When she checked it, the notification was Symmetra's text message.
"Oh, hold on luv' I got a message from Symmetra." Tracer said as she took out her phone.
"Yeah alright." Scout said, chilling on a railing nearby. As Tracer checked the message, her face contorted into a mixture of confusion.
"Blimey, what in the world are you saying Symmetra?" Tracer said to herself as she tried to make sense of the message she received.
"What's up?" Scout asked, Tracer shook her head.
"It's like as if I got a message from a child who's still learning how to spell properly. Did she give the phone to Engie or somethin'?"
"Ha! Lemme see." Tracer tilted the phone slightly towards Scout as he leaned to see the message. This is exactly how it looked.
"Leno wefr gat to goe bak 2 da bass, it iz getin l8. Met us he're." A location was attached to the horrifying sentence.
"I can't even understand what she's saying! What's wrong with her?" Tracer's exclaimed.
"Uhh it's pretty obvious what's she's tryin'a say here." Scout said, looking at her like as if she was the one who was crazy.
"Oh yeah? Then what's she saying then?" Tracer tested.
"Alright watch a genius get to work here." Tracer rolled her eyes. "Leno, we got to go back to the base it is gettin' late. Meet us here." Tracer's jaw dropped after hearing a perfectly understandable translation from Scout.
"It's weird though, like why would she call you leno?" Tracer stayed silent for a moment, her cheeks blooming pink.
"Lena."
"Huh?"
"My real names Lena, Scout."
"Wait what? You mean Tracer wasn't your...oh."
"Of course Tracer isn't my real name, though I wouldn't mind it being my name, it isn't."
"Oh, Lena huh. Not bad, seems to fit ya." Scout said.
"Thanks Scout, and if you don't mind me asking of your name?" Scout knew she was going to ask for his name, and he wasn't so sure about it. Sure they're friends, but his name's a bit too personal and only his parents, his brothers, including some of the mercs know his name. Engineer being one of them. Not ready to give up his name, Scout quickly changed the topic.
"We should really get going though, Symmetry uhh, whatever her name is said we gotta go." Scout said, Tracer looked at him for a moment before understanding what he did.
"Oh…okay." Suppressing any sadden feeling in her chest, she began leading Scout back to where Symmetra and Engineer are. Minutes of uncomfortable silence passed by as they walked, which was quite surprising given the fact that these two are usually chatter boxes.
Scout was busy in his mind arguing that he had his reasons for not saying his name, but another part of him argued back that it was only fair that he said his name too since Tracer said hers.
"It's not like I asked for her name, she's the one who gave it to me." Scout thought while idly walking next to Tracer.
Tracer on the other hand felt a little sorry for what she did, she didn't mean to make Scout uncomfortable by asking him his name but she was curious.
"Guess this is what I get for being curious." Tracer thought. A scream came out of the blue and knocked Scout and Tracer out of their thoughts.
"Help! That man stole my purse!" A woman cried out as a man dressed in black ran from the scene holding her purse.
"Ugh of all times!" Tracer growled as she reached for her backpack but was stopped by Scout.
"Wait what're you doin'?" Scout asked.
"Uh hello? Purse snatcher? We're heroes?" Tracer whispered harshly, it took a couple seconds before Scout realized what role he was supposed to be playing here.
"Oh yeah! No fuss Lena I got 'dis!" Scout yelled before running after the purse snatcher. The thief ran into the alleyways to attract less attention and to lose anyone following him, but unknowingly to him he was still being followed by a certain runner. After he reached an empty area with a couple dumpsters nearby he stopped running and checked the purse for anything worth taking.
"Yo wassup?" A Boston accent sounded off to his right and he looked to see a young man sitting on the dumpster casually. The thief looked at him with a bewildered face. "ey' just to letcha' know, you picked a bad time to steal a purse from a girl." Scout said.
Feeling threatened, the man took out his knife and held it towards Scout, giving him a glare. "Back off!"
"Wooooo~ you're real scary! I'd like to see you try and stab with me with that!"
"You gonna get what's coming to you!" The man shouted before running at him.
"Pfft!" Was all Scout said as he watched the man run at him with the knife. At the last second he dodged the knife by leaping off the dumpster, then jumping in midair back towards the thief and giving him one solid kick to the nose.
"Argh!" The man yelled as he grabbed his broken nose that bled. "You asshole!"
"Ha! Is that really all you can do? I didn't even get to use my Sandman yet, unless you ready for another round?" Scout grinned as he pulled out a wooden bat with a baseball.
"Hah, what're you going to do with that? Play baseball?" The thief taunted.
"Uhhh yeah." Scout said as he tossed the ball in the air before batting it towards the man's head with his Sandman. A loud knock sounded off in the alleyway as the baseball made contact with the man's noggin. The purse snatcher fell to the floor with a groan as he held his head.
"That was easy." Scout mumbled while grabbing the purse and looking in it, and he recoiled in shock.
"Ya kidding me!? All this trouble and that's the reward you get? Unfreakin' believable."
"Wha…Huh?" The thief uttered, clearly confused with what Scout was saying.
"Yeah that's right! You heard me! This is the saddest excuse of a reward I've ever seen! You mind as well be robbing a wishing well."
"If you really think that, then what would you suggest I do?" The purse snatcher asked.
"The obvious answer to that is, aim higher ya dumbass!" Scout said, the man was curious and remained quiet, Scout rolled his eyes and sighed.
"I'm dealing with a rookie here." Scout mused.
"Look pal, we both already know the risks of this stunt, jail time. And who knows how long you'll be stuck there before you get out, so ya mind as well aim higher."
"What should I aim for exactly?"
"I dunno, anythin' better than this sad attempt to earn a buck. Get a crew, make plans for a robbery or somethin'." Scout said.
"But…wait a minute why am I taking suggestions from you? You just stopped me from stealing a purse, aren't you going to arrest me and take me to the police? Are you a hero?" The man asked.
"Well here's a little secret between you and me pally, I'm not a hero." Scout admits.
"Then what are you!?"
"Nearly the opposite. Now get da hell up and jump into that dumpster if you don't wanna get caught. Leave the purse, it ain't worth it."
"Oh. How much was it anyway? I didn't get to check."
"Five bucks."
"For fuck sakes!" The man jumped into the dumpster filled with embarrassment and frustration. Before Scout close the lid he whispered for him to stay there for awhile after he leaves.
"Scout!" Scout straightened at the call of his name, Tracer came running in almost out of breath. She looked around for the purse snatcher but did not find him at all.
"Where's the thief?" Tracer questioned. The purse snatcher tensed for a moment until Scout replied.
"Lost em'. He gave me the slip when I was chasing him in this dark alley." Scout explained while he sat on top of the dumpster lid. "He did leave the purse behind though so that's alright."
"He gave you the slip?" Tracer looked at him confusingly. She wondered how the thief was able to lose Scout, especially since he is a very fast runner. Scout shrugged.
"I don't really know this place much, maybe he used a path I didn't see him take." Tracer looked down in anger, she couldn't blame Scout for losing the guy since he made a good point. All she can do is be mad at herself for not being able to chase the purse snatcher with Scout. Scout noticed her stress on her face.
"Hey don't sweat it, we got the purse back didn't we?"
"Yeah but we didn't get the scumbag who took the purse, now he is still out there probably going to steal another purse."
"Ha! Believe me, I doubt he'll try doing another stunt like that again since we'll be the ones chasing him now." Tracer was still unhappy about the criminal getting away, but a little smile manage to find its way on her lips after Scout's statement.
"So uh, shouldn't we give this purse back to lady or what?" Scout asked as he hopped of the dumpster and held out the purse.
"Right, let's go." Tracer started running out of the alleyway, Scout looked back at the dumpster where the thief hid for one moment before following Tracer.
After they returned the purse to its rightful owner, they continued on their way towards Engineer and Symmetra which took them sometime since they were really far apart. After finally reaching the two, Scout and Tracer started bawling in laughter.
"Shut your trap you two!" Engie growled.
"Ugh my head…" Symmetra caressed her head, feeling an incoming hangover.
"Luv' what'd ya get yourself into?" Tracer chuckled as she gently pulled her from the bench she sat.
"Dell wanted to get a drink around here, so I decided to bring him to a bar and…things went on from there." Symmetra explained.
"Dell?" Tracer wondered out loud, Symmetra realized her mistake and attempted to recover from it but before she could, Engie beat her to it.
"Yep, that's my name. But don't get use to saying it, I honestly prefer the name you've given me."
"Dell huh? Interesting name Engie."
"Ah it's nothin'." Engineer said. Scout looked at his best friend with surprise, he didn't expect Engie to reveal his name.
"Anyway, let's return back home." Tracer said as she assisted Symmetra. Engineer walked behind the two with Scout, but Scout was busy looking at Engie's face. After a good 4 four minutes of non-stop staring, Engie finally had enough.
"Quit staring, you acting like a damn stalker." Engie spoke.
"The hell happened to your face Engie? Ya look like you had a fight with someone." Scout said.
"He did." Symmetra muttered.
"Engie got into a fight? With who?"
"Some idiot at the bar, but I'm going to overlook it as self defense this time."
"Haha! Engie what happened?"
"A big ole guy started messing with me when I wanted to use the restroom, thought I'd teach him a lesson."
"Oh. Did ya win?"
"Damn straight I did, but wanna know the best part?"
"What?"
"I still had to use the restroom. And they kicked me out."
"HA!"
The conversations went on from there, the two secret mercs chatting about their adventure in the city while following the two heroes who gave little chat here and there. After a long walk, they managed to reach their base without being spotted by anyone. Since it was late only a couple of the Overwatch heroes were awake since they were doing their night shifts.
Symmetra decided she should go to her room and get some rest to deal with the hangover, Engineer agreed with her. But before she could go, Engineer wanted to say something to both her and Tracer.
"Thanks you two, you gave us quite the trip. Now at least we have something to look forward to as we return to our time, even though I doubt I'd live long enough to see it." Engineer chuckled slightly at the last part. Satya smiled.
"You're welcome Engineer, I'm glad you enjoyed it." Was all Symmetra could say before aching in her head continued to annoy her. She bid Engineer a good night before leaving to her room, Tracer walking beside her just in case.
Scout yawned while Engineer watched the two heroes leave. "Welp, I'm exhausted. Can we go to our rooms now? I'm ready to call it the night."
"Yeah, guess we can." Engie stretched before walking to their room.
*Next day*
The night has passed and morning came to, the two mercs rose from their slumber and got changed before heading out of the room to meet up with the Overwatch agents in the lounge.
"Yo Engie, watcha think we gonna do today?" Scout asked.
"Well I got to continue on building a new TTPB with Winston and Symmetra, so that's one thing I got in plan." Engineer said.
"And how's that goin'?"
"We're making decent progress but sadly it will still take a bit before it's finished."
"Pfttt. That's stupid." Scout replied.
"Pardon me?" Engie looked at Scout confused.
"Oh come on, you build that TTBP-"
"TTPB." Engie quickly corrected.
"-TTPB in one night. Ya hear me? One night! So why is it taking so long to make another one?" Scout pointed out.
"I'm going to admit, the first TTPB design was greatly rushed. I was a little too eager to finish it you could say. This time me, Winston and Symmetra are going to make sure it works for the better next time."
Engineer thought for a moment before adding in one new detail. "Plus since you're here, we gonna need to build a second one. So that's definitely gonna take time."
"Ey don't be seeing me as a dead weight here, it was not my fault I was sent here." Scout put up his hands in defense.
"Nah you ain't dead weight or nothin', in fact I'm relieved in a way since someone I'm familiar with is here." Engineer said.
"Ha! No prob Engie!" Scout held out a fist towards Engie, the Texan chuckled before doing a fist bump with him.
The two mercs reached the lounge and entered, then greeted by the heroes that occupied to room.
"Good morning Engineer, Scout." Winston greeted.
"Good morning you two." Mercy said while making herself a cup of coffee. Soldier 76 and Pharah sat together in one table, both of them waving at Engineer and Scout. Reinhardt was nowhere to be seen, Mei was there too but no sign of Symmetra or Trace-
"Good morning!"
Nevermind.
Tracer's cheery face blinked right in front of Scout and Engineer, startling them.
"Mornin'." Engineer casually greeted back.
"Oh hey Lena." Scout said, Tracer was caught a little off guard when Scout used her name, as was the others who overheard it, but she smiled back.
"Are you ready to continue from where we left off after breakfast?" Winston asked.
"Yeah, but we gonna need Symmetra too, where is she anyway?" Engineer pondered.
"Haven't seen her yet I'm afraid, she possibly could still be asleep."
"Symmetra? Sleeping in? Now I've seen everything." Morrison said.
"76 is right, it is not like her to sleep in." Mei said.
"I'll go check on her then, be back in a bit." Tracer said, but before she could leave the room, she bumped into said person they were talking about.
"Oh sorry luv'! Didn't mean to bump into you, I was just about to check on you." Tracer apologized.
"It's fine Tracer." Symmetra said tiredly before walking over to the coffee machine.
"Are you alright Symmetra? You seem tired." Mei asked.
"Who isn't tired right now?" Symmetra mumbled, Tracer and Scout being the only one to raise their hands.
"Looks like me and you are the only ones Scout." Tracer commented.
"Basically." Scout said.
"You make a fair point Symmetra but you're usually up and going by now, is something the matter?" Mercy asked, Symmetra sighed.
"I just…had a hard time getting up this morning that is all." Symmetra said, sounding slightly annoyed but still keeping her composure.
"Oh alright then, but just in case let me know if you're feeling different later." Mercy said before continuing on with her morning. Satya let out a relieved sigh as Mercy left her alone, and as she prepared her coffee Engineer came to see her.
"Mornin' Symmetra, getting ready to start the day I see." Engineer said as he observed her making her coffee. Then with a quick look behind to see if anyone was listening, he quietly spoke to Symmetra.
"How's the hangover treatin' ya?" He whispered.
"Not good. It has lessened a little but it's still there." Symmetra murmured. She then slightly blushed as she recalled how she acted while she was under the influence of alcohol.
"Dell, I would like to apologize to you for what I did when I was umm." She secretly began.
"Tipsy?" Engie suggested.
"Well uh-" Symmetra stammered but was interrupted.
"Loaded?" Engie continued.
"Not rea-"
"Buzzed?"
"Would you please stop?" She asked.
"Hold on one more, wasted." Engie finished.
"I wasn't that far gone."
"It was like I was staring at another lady."
"Do you want me to continue or not?" Symmetra questioned, feeling her patience being tempted.
"Sorry, ahem. Continue." Engineer fixed his posture and stared at Symmetra intently.
"I'm sorry for my actions back then, this includes about me slapping you. If there's anything I can do for you to forgive me, please let me know." Symmetra finished.
"Ah you're fine Satya, I'm gonna admit I deserved it. But we're good now, yeah?" Symmetra nodded, relieved Engie held no grudges against it.
"Now, are you still gonna be helping me and Winston with our project after breakfast?"
"Of course I will Dell." Engie smiled.
"Alrighty then, till then let's eat."
*Talon's base*
Reaper, otherwise known as Gabriel Reyes, stood with Widowmaker next to him. They were meeting sudden new recruitments, and Reaper was surprised but pleased of who they were. Reaper let out a grunt before speaking.
"I'm not surprised of you two showing up here." Reaper spoke, referring Junkrat and Roadhog. Junkrat let out a laugh while Roadhog said nothing but you can still hear his breathing through the mask.
"You on the other hand, I am." Reaper crossed his arms and stared at stared at Genji. The cyborg ninja remained quietly but stared back at Reaper.
*To be continued…*
