Burr was in the middle of listening to the new briefings given to them by U.N. ambassadors. The administrations were constantly arguing about the new sanctions to perform lockdown on many cities where the Second Omnic Crisis was taking place. Overwatch branches were doing their best to help governments and the local people, but it didn't quell many of the riots down there.

They could act assertive, however the current status being among the other nations was the closest they've come since he joined Overwatch. It was best to reach some sort of compromise, sooner or later.

A stack of papers were dropped on his desk as Burr looked up to see Fareeha. "Are you attending the U.N. meeting?"

"In a way. Canada, America, and China have all come up to us and asked for services to protect them. With Helix International out and other services deemed not enough, we've been asked to step in. We'll be leaving in the next couple of days."

"Would you need anyone else?" Fareeha asked. Burr shook his head. "Lucio, Soldier 76, and Ana will be accompanying us." He noticed the twitch in her muscles when he mentioned her mother.

"Of course those are very wise picks. Is there anything you'd like me to do?"

"Considering your armor is still under repair from Reaper, I'd like for you to take care of Angela's patients. McCree and Noah. I believe you were taught basic medical procedures."

"Of course. Angela taught me along with my training in the army. I can support them." Burr smiled and picked up some of the papers on his desk. "Thank you, it means a lot that you'd do this. I know you prefer to be out there."

Fareeha chuckled. "No after what's been going on these past few days, maybe a break would be nice."

"That's surprising." He signed a few documents and closed some folders. "Here before you go." Burr pulled something out of his desk and held it out. "Bourbon? I don't drink."

"It's for Noah. This is just to dull some of the pain. Angela suggested pain meds, but I don't want him to become addicted to it."

"So you go with alcohol."

"He can drink and unlike you, he won't make a fool of himself." Fareeha's mind flashed back to one of the few times she drank with the team. It was messy with rockets everywhere and her apologizing like a little child making the biggest mess in the kitchen. "Whatever! This for medical reasons anyways!"

She took the drink and left the room with Burr holding back his mirth. Sighing, Burr went back to his paperwork on funding before Winston came in. The door opened and the scientist was holding a pair of gloves.

"Bannana Man!" Winston rolled his eyes as he moved closer to the desk. "Good afternoon, Burr. I trust you find your new hand quite comfortable." The man flexed his mechanical fingers and did a few tricks with it. "Comfortable enough though I did like my flesh and blood one."

"Of course, but we haven't perfected complete regeneration. I'm sure you'll grow accustomed to it before the next mission."

"Don't worry I will." He closed one of his eyes and eyed the gloves in Winston's hands. "So...I trust you took a peek at Noah's new toys." Winston nodded and placed them on the desk.

"I ran a few tests on the fabric and it's quite brilliant. These gloves are capable of fitting any hands no matter how tiny or large they may be. The elasticity is amazing." To demonstrate, Winston put the gloves on and Burr interests peaked with how it easily wrapped around the gorilla's large hands.

Winston grinned at how fit they felt. "But it does more than fit to any size. I've discovered that it's shields are powered by electricity."

"What?" Burr looked closer at the gloves as Winston pulled up Mercy's mission report. "According to Mercy, when Noah saved her there were blue sparks emitting just before the shield appeared. Running tests, I found out that it ran off both bioelectricity and static electricity. The currents run through the fabric and you won't believe what they hit."

"Try me." Winston pulled an image of what looked like tiny bugs on the surface of the glove. "Nanomachines."

"Exactly. These nanomachines, surrounding all the fabric, when powered by the electricity, shoot one solid laser beam. And these beams are as thin as the hair of a man. The resulting heat from all the beams form a nonthermal plasma shield. It can look like hologram, but…" Clapping his hands together, the shield shined to life.

"It's not." Burr finished. "Go ahead shoot it."

"In my office? Really?"

"Do not worry, I'll manage any damage your office may take. So go ahead try it." Burr sighed and pulled out his pistol. Aiming it carefully, he fired one round. The bullet bounced off the shield and hit the roof. "And that's not all. Here for the next demonstration please come to training area." Burr got up and followed Winston to the room.

Once they reached, Winston clapped his hands once and re-summoned the shield. "How do you know how to activate it?"

"It activated in many ways. In one I clenched my fist tightly and let my bioelectricity build before releasing it, another is static by rubbing on cloth, or in my case clapping them together once. They react rather well when coming into contact with one another." Burr took notes in his head on practicality. He's seen the thing in action, but Winston's demonstration was proving it more and more.

"Could you throw it?"

"Huh?"

"The shield. If I were to grab the shield, would I be able to throw it?" Winston carefully placed his hand around the sleek edge of the shield and cautiously gripped it. The two were amazed to see the disk be held tightly in Winston's fingers. "Holy crap."

Winston slowly moved the disk around in his hand with it tracing the air with soft blue light that faded quickly. "Winston, throw it...over there." The gorilla took aim and threw it with all his might. Making a whirring sound, the disk whistled through the air before cleanly slicing through the target.

The two were more than surprised. "Hohoho, that was so cool!"

"I don't believe it. These are quite the tools." He removed the gloves and handed them to Burr. "Hm? Winston, these are Noah's."

"I know, but due to his current condition, it would be unwise to let him wield such power. Until then I think it'd be smart to let you wear them. I've actually thought of giving you these if Noah was out of commission."

"Bannana man." Burr faked a tear as Winston almost face palmed. "I'll wear these until my buddy's all better." Once the gloves were given, Burr placed them on and the fabric tightened perfectly around it.

"Hopefully my artificial hand won't get in the way." He clapped his hands once and a blue shield expanded when the the gloves went apart. Waving his human hand, the shield responded and covered his right side. "Now how do I turn this off? I can't exactly throw this away every time I'm done with it."

"Here place it between your hands and close around it." With a simple shift of the fingers, the shield was between his hands. Placing his hands together, the shield shrunk with every distance between the closing. "Wow. This is quite the piece of tech we got here. Noah told me a Talon soldier stole this off Helix guard. How could they get this type of tech?"

"I'm looking into it. So far I found no plans like these so these are probably one of kind. Though if I were to guess, I'd would say Vishkar Corporations or Volskaya Industries. With the Second Omnic Crisis becoming more and more of a reality their profits have skyrocketed."

"So it seems." Burr sighed. Winston glanced at him curiously. "Are you alright Burr? Is your hand causing discomfort?"

He shook his head and looked around him. "No it's just...just this. Winston, I've spent a lot of my life working for anyone with a shiny penny and I had Noah at my side for most of those excursions. And yet I always wanted to be you guys."

Winston stared at him and wanted him to continue. "Three years ago I met you and from there on we did our best to rebuild Overwatch. Recruiting and meeting heroes, making allies, and overall giving people like Talon or Vishkar hell. It's been a rollercoaster and I have you and everyone else to thank for it."

"Oh you're just saying that."

"I'm serious Winston. And despite many hardship and unfortunate circumstances…" Images of Widowmaker, waking up from his coma, and losing his hand flooded his mind. "I just wanted to take the moment a peace and thank you. Honestly I was growing tired of my job along with Noah, but I'm not one to settle down. I go with the hand I've been dealt."

"That's a nice idea Burr. Is there anything else you want to say before the U.N meeting?" Burr nodded. "Have Ana, Lena, Lucio, and 76 get ready. We got a job to do."

"Of course." Winston passed the order to Athena and the AI went to work. The scientist left the training room as Burr pulled out his phone. Scrolling through photos, Burr found he had lots of images from his adventures.

The first was an old photo, but it still warmed his heart. It was him and Noah celebrating his twentieth birthday party surrounded by stacks of food and drink. The days before they split were one of happier times in his life before Overwatch. He stares at the picture fondly swipes left.

One with McCree and him having a drinking contest.

Another with Hana. The two were battle damaged, but were smiling brightly as they held a victory pose.

A photo with Genji was there with the two at a ramen shop. It had the caption, "awkward times with my man Genji". He remembered asking Genji to do a favor for him if Noah ever joined Overwatch. That was training him and hoping that he wasn't too rusty.

Now he came across one of his favorites with him and Lena jamming out to one of Lucio's newest singles. It was a fun day with the Brazilian joining the group.

His other favorite was him trying to deadlift with Reinhardt and Zarya. He remembered being nothing more than a puddle of sore muscles and tired bones. Burr almost chuckled at remembering that.

Then his swiped right one last time and his eyes were stuck on the last photo. It was taken around Halloween and the time when he was with Talon before confronting Noah. Now this one thing he'll always regret. Due to both their foolishness and not thinking about tomorrow would bring. A woman was holding his phone with the camera pointed at her and Burr. Burr was winking at the camera with the woman having a small smile on her face. Her eyes were warm as the two were close. Taken at one of the few bright spots in a job in Ilios. The caption read, "Avec mon chérie".

It was hard to know who was hurt the most: him or her. Probably him since he could actually feel something, though maybe her to how ruthless he's heard being now. And that beating he got a months ago almost seemed warranted. Almost.

"A U.N meeting with some of the open leaders of the leading nations. Seems right up your alley, chérie." He could almost imagine her taunting him about it. Or rather he could imagine her standing there as if she was facing him right now. A spark of hope ran through his body before he quickly suppressed it as he always did. This wasn't a movie, it was reality. Putting his phone away, Burr walked out of the training room.

Widowmaker was at the shooting range getting perfect headshots when she heard footsteps behind her. "Are you sending me out on a mission?"

"Of course. You are our best assassin. Have you seen the news?"

"They'll be expecting me. Do you really expect me to complete such a mission with Overwatch there?"

"We got some hired help to distract them. You just do what you normally do. Shoot to kill, clean, and untraceable. We've got the world on edge as it is. A few more bullets then everything changes. Nothing will stop us, not Vishkar, not the U.N, not Overwatch."

"You sure like hearing yourself talk." Widow said as she holstered her rifle. "Keep your hired help from getting in the way and consider it done."

The Overseer chuckled and left the frenchwoman to her own doing. The sniper rolled her shoulders and got ready for her mission. It was time to feel alive.

Sombra was watching along with watching Overwatch's deployment schedule. She whistled to see Burr was going to be at the U.N. meeting. "Oh this is gonna be interesting." Pulling up the hired help, Sombra studied the two. Now she had her full attention taken for this upcoming week. Until then it's best to get some work done.

"Dhanyavaad, I will not fail you. The representative will be safe at the meeting." A woman said.

"And we advise you do not interact with the Overwatch agents while on duty. They may return to battle our common enemy, but they are not our ally."

"Of course they may one day stand against us on the betterment of the world." She replied. "I assure you my mission will be held up with the utmost importance. Do you know of the agents that will be there?"

"Yes and there are two of them that have desecrated what we have worked for. Though the urge to amend those mistakes is strong, now is not the time. See to it that thing go smoothly for us." The woman respectfully acknowledged her orders and turned to leave.

"And Symmetra." She stopped and turned to facer her superior. "Do not fail us like you did three years ago. Count this as your redemption." Her mind flashed back to when two individuals broke through Vishkar and not only escaped, but left with their hands full. Her anger flared at the mistake along with the shame it brought her. "I will not fail this time."

Turning her back this time, she wasn't going to let anyone get the better of her anymore.

Bonus

Taking a quick detour to the med bay, Burr bumped right into Noah who seemed a little out of it. "Oh sorry Noah."

"Tsk. Come on Burr. Don't need to apologize."

"Any reason why you're out of your bed and not…" He noticed the hazy look in his eyes along with the blush. And the smell of alcohol. "You're drinking again are you?"

"So what of it. I was just-moooving through the day in a little pain when I realzied it was HAPPY HOUR! And I took a few shots of someone's hidden stash near his cabinet." Burr took note to make sure that those were empty from now on. "And the lord must'vve been lokin dow at me because some hottie was holding some bourbon. Nicely handing me my drunk and disappeared."

'Fareeha. I probably shouldn't have lied about him not making a show.' Burr thought as he held his friend up. "And then what happened?"

"I meeeet a time traveler with a nice ass and a girl. And I know it was Brit, be-because I heard her speak and it was soooo….something." Burr was a bit surprised. 'Openly blabbering out anything. Yup he must have no bourbon left.'

"Did you get her number?"

"Oh no, no. I think she has a girl because she was video chatting with some gorgeous red head and I gotta say. Damn! That girl has good tastes. AND another thing, Mister Burr sir, I want to say that previous hottie came back while I was walking toward that other woman and was yelling about how I shouldn't be outside. So I ran."

"Oh, wait how did you-?" On cue the doors opened and it showed Fareeha and Lena panting. "How...can...he...get...away so fast?" Lena wheezed.

"Are you...even...hurt?" Fareeha asked. She glared at Burr who chuckled nervously at the two. "So how did he get out?"

"The bloke just tripped me when I was blinking toward him! I hit Fareeha when I fell!" Lena said. Fareeha got up pulled Noah close by the collar. "Alright enough of this. You need to go to bed. Now!"

Burr watched as Noah struggled hard to be free. Drinking in moderation was the best he can do, but give him more and all that's left is child. He stopped struggling and winked at Fareeha. "Would you care to join me? I goot the room." He slurred.

Fareeha froze at the proposition as Burr and Lena both almost bursted out laughing at the suggestion. "Alright, alright that's enou-"

POW!

Burr caught Noah with a fist marked across his cheek while Fareeha was looking extremely flustered by that. Lena appeared next to Fareeha and tapped her shoulder. "Was that really necessary, Fareeha?"

"Shut up!" She said before marching off to blow some more steam away. Burr leaned down and checked Noah's pulse. Still alive from what he can feel. "Alright buddy let's go." Picking him up, Burr had Lena follow just incase he woke up.

"Is he always like that when he drinks?"

"Only when it's hard."
