A/N
Hey everybody. I just wanted to say a late happy holidays and happy New Year. Thank you so much for being here supporting me as I stumble my way through this mess of a story, especially those that have been here since the beginning, and more importantly, thank you so much for helping me out. I know it wasn't the most serious of problems but that last bit of lore threw my thinking and planning in for a loop and I wasn't sure what to do. So thank you everyone who, reviewed, PMed, or did the poll. You guys are the best.
This chapter is just a short little fluff chapter to get me back into the swing of things since I really didn't get a chance since I asked for your help. So with the holidays over for me, I can get back to work.
Anyways it seems that the popular majority of you want me to continue the story as I intended so I'm going to do just that. I'll be honest, it was the way I was leaning when I asked but I wanted to hear what you guys had to say and for everyone to have say in the matter. So thank you again for helping me out. Disclaimer time. (Is this even necessary anymore?)
Disclaimer: Overwatch belongs to Blizzard Entertainment and its respective developers. All I own is the plot of this story and some of its characters.
Now onto the story.
Overwatch dropship, En route to Ilios, Greece
For the second time today, Winston was in the back of the dropship, only this time he was here to discuss the growing relationship between one of his agents and one of Soldier: 76's soldiers. If he had known that this was going to happen when he asked her to get close to the young soldier, would asked someone else. While he was happy that his friend has found someone she got along with that well, he didn't want her to get too attach encase that person wasn't who he said or made himself out to be.
"So what did you need to talk to me about?" Tracer said as she looked around the back of her ship, happy to see that everything was still in order, despite the amount of people that have been back here.
"I wanted to talk to you about Ghost. You two seem to have gotten increasingly close since he and Soldier agreed to help us."
"Yup." Tracer said cheerfully. "I even got him to take off his mask." She stated proudly.
"I noticed. Tell me, besides his appearance, what else have you discovered about him?" Winston asked, adjusting his glasses. This made Tracer pause as, while she had come across some new information on James, she promised him that she won't tell anyone, leaving her in an tough spot.
"Nothing really. I was only able to convince him to take off his mask this time around. I've already told everything else."
"And what were you two whispering about? I heard you two mention something about Blackwatch." Winston said. This put Tracer in an especially bad spot as she wasn't sure what to tell Winston. Deciding to take a page out James's playbook, she decided she would tell the truth but leave out part of it.
"We were talking about former Blackwatch agents, like Jesse."
"Is that all?"
"Yup. We were talking about how Overwatch members would react to them showing up again, not well we reckoned." Winston seem to buy it as he snort and nodded. Even he wasn't exactly fond of most Blackwatch agents as most of them shared their leader's sentiment on him.
"Alright. Can you describe what Ghost looks like under his mask, eye colour, scars, other notable features?"
"Of course. James has these beautiful dark brown eyes and the most adorable smile." Tracer said as she recalled James without his mask, making her unknowingly smile. "No scars that I've noticed, a few freckles, but that's about it."
"I'll take your word for it." Winston said before sighing. "Now the reason I wanted to talk to you. While I'm not oppose to your growing relationship with Ghost, I'm going to ask you to exercise caution. I don't want you to get hurt if he isn't who he says he is."
"I can take care of myself, Winston." She said with a giggle. Winston was always looking out for her, something she's always been grateful for. "Besides, I have a good feeling about him. He won't have opened up as much if he was trying to trick us."
"Regardless, exercise some caution." Winston said as he began walking toward the stairs. Tracer did a mock salute as Winston passed before blinking back to the cockpit. As she got there, she noticed Ghost still sitting in the copilot seat.
"Were you waiting for me?" Tracer asked but got no response. "James?" Again, no response. Walking in front of him, she noticed that he had his mask once again reequipped. Taking her previously abandoned seat on his lap, she gently began removing his mask. "James, are you alright, love?" When she got the mask off, she was surprised to see that him fast asleep. With a smile, she gave him a quick kiss before placing the mask back on his face. "Sleep well, love." With that, she decided that she could use a quick nap as well and join the Ghost in his slumber, using the unsuspecting soldier as a pillow.
A/N
Well that's a wrap everyone. I really can't thank everyone enough for giving me the motivations to continue this story. You have no idea how much it means to me. So thank you.
Normal story stuff picks up once more next chapter as well as the story once again expanding to focus on everyone a little more instead of just Ghost and Tracer's growing relationship. That being said, anything else I would mention down here is probably said up above so besides this small snip bit, that's it for this short fluff chapter.
So what did you guys think of this chapter? Like it? Hate it? Somewhere in between? Leave a comment/review or shoot me a PM if that's more your style.
Thanks again everyone. I will see you next and as always, have a great day. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.
