"So let me get this straight, you believe that Widowmaker is actually Amelie Lacroix, a former agent of Overwatch and wife to Gerard Lacroix that went missing?"
Ryuko looks at Angela and nods firmly "Think about it, take away all the blue and purple and imagine her with normal skin and blonde hair, and her face is a perfect match! And you said it yourself, she wasn't acting right when she was saved"
Angela sighs and and holds her face in her hand "I hate that what you say is true, Amelie was a wonderful woman and a good wife to her husband. If she's had her mind reprogrammed she'll be mortified to find that she killed Gerard herself"
Lena looks sadly at the two while they talked, while their newest recruit walks over and leans against the wall next to her "Is there something troubling you Miss Oxton?"
She shakes her head and sighs "No Genji, just thinking about what she's saying is all. And we're allies, call me Lena, Miss Oxton makes me feel old"
The cyborg chuckles and nods, before his tone turns serious "What she says is most likely true, Talon has also twisted my brother to join their side, and I must get him back before they do the same to him as they did to Amelie, whether he joins Overwatch or not I do not care"
The bubbly brit smiles at that "Spoken like a brother caring about his sibling, good. The Tin Man's still got his heart after all"
The pair chuckle off to the side as Ryuko paces around "We need more opinions, just us five won't cut it, everyone's torn on what to do"
Winston nods in agreement from the ceiling, having climbed up so he had something to do "Well Athena picked up a beacon from an old Overwatch base in the Arctic, I believe it had cryogenic storage pods in case anything went wrong to keep the people there alive"
Ryuko's shoulders slump and she groans "Why the Arctic? Why there of all places?"
Everyone starts chuckling at her reaction, knowing she wasn't gonna enjoy this "We should hurry, who knows what recourses they may have left. They may be out of food and water, or under attack for all we know"
Everyone nods and gets their gear before boarding their aircraft, shooting off in the direction of the Overwatch base

Timeskip: 10 hours later

Ryuko's eyes snap open just as Angela was about to shake her awake, surprising her when they emit an orange glow similar to lava "You're awake I see"
The young woman blinks a few times until the orange glow is replaced by her normal eye color "Yeah, I'm a light sleeper"
Angela chuckles a bit and smiles "Well we're here Ryuko, so you'd best have that fire ready since you don't have a coat"
Ryuko smiles and nods as everyone gets ready in their thick fur jackets and pants, while Ryuko hits the button to lower the back door
She bathes herself in her fire just as the wind comes in, blowing her back a slight bit, but revealing the base to her and the others
They could see the communications tower, part of it had collapsed but it was held up by some sort of ice wall "What the hell? Well whoever's living here is probably still inside"
Ryuko walks up to the door and types some numbers into a keypad on the side, smiling as it opens
Lena walks up to her and gazes curiously at the keypad "How did you know what the code was?"
The black haired girl chuckles and smiles brightly "I read up on every code log I could find back at base and memorized them all"
Angela and Lena chuckle a bit as the team walks in, looking around while walking quietly to avoid detection if there were enemies nearby
Ryuko moved up to a lit room and quietly peered inside, surprised to find someone making coffee like it was an every day routine "Um.. Miss?"
The woman eeps and spins around, searching for something to defend herself from this unknown intruder "Hey hey hey, cool it! We're not here to hurt you, we're Overwatch!"
She seems to instantly calm down, sighing in relief and dropping to her knees in exhaustion that she had seemed to be pretending she didn't have "Oh thank god.. I um.. I'm the only one here, everyone else's life support failed while they were frozen"
While everyone else walks in, Ryuko gains an interested gleam in her eyes "Can you take me to the cryo pods miss?"
The woman nods softly and grabs her coffee from the table "Y-yes, and please, my name is Mei Zhou, so you can call me Mei"
Ryuko smiles softly and nods while Mei leads her to the cryo pods, leaving everyone else to search the base for anything important
Lena glances at Angela with a bit of a smirk "You think Ryuko's gonna put the moves on her?"
Angela giggles and nods "Indeed I do, whether it's now or later is the real question, she's quite the charmer"
While Lena and Angela enjoyed their gossip about Ryuko, the girl in question was currently using her flames to melt the ice of everyone that was frozen, before the flames wrap around their bodies as well
Once Ryuko releases the flames and they dissipate, the scientists start to cough and gasp for breath, shocking Mei to her core "H-how?.. T-that's not possible, it shouldn't be! To bring back the dead is.. It's insanity!"
Ryuko gives Mei a sideways glance to see a tear going down her face "Perhaps, but you're not exactly complaining either"
She turns to Mei and gives her a comforting hug before turning to leave the room "Trust me, it'll get a lot easier if you just learn to accept the insanity that is me, everyone else has"
And with that, the door shuts behind her, leaving Mei to greet her formerly dead friends happily and tell them of what happened while they were frozen
