Chapter 22

"Bad news Jack." Ana said as she came back into the temple. Soldier looked over at her, and she had a worried look on her face. "They've been caught."

"What do you mean?"

"The government has caught up with their actions. They are under arrest and have been taken in." Ana sighed.

"IDIOTS!" Soldier roared. "Why can't they just sit back and do nothing."

"Yelling won't help." Ana scolded him.

"Well we can't join them now. As usual, up to us!"

"Not true."

"They are in jail Ana." Soldier muttered. "They can't help."

"Unless they are freed."

"You have the money to bail them out?" Jack asked sarcastically.

"We break them out." Ana said calmly, sitting down.

"Great. How?" Soldier grunted, not happy with the answer.

"You're the super shoulder and strategist. You tell me." Ana countered.

"I never devised a strategy for breaking into the government's high security holding chamber to free teammates." Solider looked at her. Even beneath his mask, Ana could see his annoyance.

"I know you don't like this idea but they are the best we have at the moment." Ana told him harshly. "They will do well to aid us. They've had our training, know the routines and will help us. We can't always be alone."

"I know..." Soldier sighed. "What about your daughter. You'll have to explain that you're alive."

"I will deal with her. But let's focus on getting them out."

Soldier looked at her to find determination looking back.

"Okay."

Mei sat alone in a cell, listening to the gentle waves of the sea crash against the ship. She hasn't cried since getting on board, but was extremely worried for Snowball's safety. Every now and then, a guard walked by, but paid no attention to her. She was slowly losing hope.

Footsteps were heard. Mei looked up, and an Omnic guard walked past, glancing at her.

"Please." Mei called, running up to the bars that held her. "Please help."

"No can do prisoner." The Omnic said, continuing to walk.

"I need food." Mei said. The Omnic stopped, looking back. Mei noticed that it had a set of keys on its body.

"Food?" It repeated. "What food?"

"Anything." Mei begged as her stomach rumbled. The Omnic's eyes seemed to roll in annoyance as it backtracked to Mei's cell.

"Listen here prisoner." It hissed. It reached through the bars and grabbed Mei, slamming her against them. "You're here to be quite and not complain. Understood."

"But..." Mei whimpered.

"Silence." The guard through her back, and she tumbled to the ground. She didn't move.

"And stay silent." The Omnic growled, before walking away. Mei listened as the footsteps faded away and were gone.

The scientist got to her feet happily, and almost skipped towards the cell. Pulling the key from her pocket, which she got after the Omnic grabbed her, she quietly unlocked the door.

"Stay silent huh?" She whispered to herself. "That's the plan..."

With no clue where she was, where she was going or how to escape, Mei walked the opposite way from where the Omnic went, hoping to find Snowball.

Pharah was roughly thrown to the floor, hitting her head on the cold concrete. She growled at the guards, who just laughed at her.

"Should've stayed in Egypt, Pharah." One snorted. Pharah slowly got to her feet, glaring at them.

"Think you made her mad." The other said, smiling widely. "Oh well. No rockets to get you out." The guards walked away, howling with laughter.

Pharah sighed and slumped against the metal wall. It was rough and cold, uncomfortable to lean against. She let her body slide to the floor as she thought about the others. She saw Tracer have her chrono accelerator taken off her, which could be dangerous unless someone describes what it does. Some sort of device was placed on Genji, presumably to shut down some parts of his body. Winston was thrown into a cage, and Mercy disappeared almost instantly.

"Was joining Winston a good idea? Would it have been better to have stayed with my men back home? What if I'm needed? I can't go to help." She closed her eyes and sighed again. "Did I do the right thing? Would Mom have been proud of me?"

A light tapping was heard. Pharah opened her eyes to find Chairwoman Ruby staring down at her. Pharah jumped to her feet, a strong gaze appearing onto her face.

"What?" She almost spat, staring intensely at the woman.

"Tut tut, you have an attitude." Ruby growled. "Listen, you're going to be here for a long, long, time, so you better get use to me. If you're in my good books, you'll have more then grub."

"What's happened to the others? Where are they?" Pharah asked in annoyance.

"Don't know, don't really care." Ruby yawned. "Although one of my men said the gorilla is being shipped to a zoo or something?"

"He's called Winston." Pharah snarled, approaching the cell bars.

"Once again, don't care." Ruby sneered. "The only reason I'm here with you is because I know what you stand for."

"Which is?"

"Justice. Protection. Duty. The law." Pharah narrowed her eyes. "Oh, was I right with them?"

"Listen here Pharah." The woman's expression changed. It was a softer one, almost kind. "Here, we do what we need. Protection of the citizens is a priority. Any action against people that can do harm is always on our list. Prevent the damage before it is done. And Overwatch was disbanded for that reason."

"We helped people." Pharah argued.

"You caused damages." Ruby retorted. "You know how many buildings collapsed, roads upturned, people injured? The national government understand where you come from and what Overwatch stands for, but you cannot deny the facts. Since the beginning, Overwatch has damaged society. Not to mention the riots caused against Overwatch once your hidden agenda was discovered."

"That wasn't our age-"

"People were put into hospitals because of those riots. The people wanted Overwatch off the streets and out of the world. Add that to the damages, we had to take action. And you are once again attempting to bring Overwatch back."

"Talon is on the move." Pharah hissed, gripping the bars. "They attacked Winston to gather information on Overwatch agents to take them out before they do anything. Because for years we stood up to them and took down plan after plan. They hate us. And want us dead. Now look where we are, locked up. That's good enough for them. They'll attack before you even see them blink."

"As stated, we are dealing with Talon." Ruby came face to face with Pharah. "I came to you because I am aware that you are a woman of honour and justice. I know what you've done in Egypt, I know your passion to protect. Clearly you can't see things from the world's view."

"Neither can you." Pharah gave Ruby one last glare, before she turned away from her. Ruby huffed, before walking away from the cell. She didn't notice Pharah wiping a tear away.

"Sorry Mom. I failed."

Stuff really isn't looking good. Seems like action is going to break out every soon. But who'll move first? Overwatch? Or Talon? Hopefully you all enjoyed!
