Fareeha sat down on the medical bench as Angela was humming happily. "You seem rather happy. What's all that about?"

"Eh not important. Because right now, you need to strip."

"Of course." Fareeha took off her top and Angela examined her. "Do you feel any pain?"

Fareeha gave an iffy sign as Angela moved her hands over any suspicious bruises and examined any sign of detrimental change. "Was there anything you encountered in the mission? Narcotic gas, injections?"

Fareeha nodded her head on that. "Actually Aryt got me with a needle during a fight. I don't know if he injected me with anything, but I'm not sure about that."

"Then I'll just extract a blood sample to find any problems with it. Until the results return I recommend that you don't do missions. It could be fatal on how it may affect your performance. Have you encountered any symptoms?"

Fareeha shook her head. "Should I have a close eye on me?" Angela walked up and looked her in the eye. "I suppose so. I shall inform Burr and we can probably assign someone to watch over you for any change that may happen before the blood tests run through. Athena."

-Yes Dr. Ziegler?-

"Send a message to Burr about Fareeha's injuries and the possibility to have her monitored before any results come and verify if it's enough to stop mission acceptance."

-Of course, Dr. Ziegler. Sending message.-

Angela sighed as Fareeha placed two fingers around the puncture wound. The doctor grabbed a bandage and covered the wound. "Now I would like for you to keep an eye on your own wounds and not to deal in any strenuous activity for the next few days."

Fareeha nodded. "That includes sparring sessions, your normal two kilometer jogs around the base, the hundreds of reps, and the flight simulation you perform in your suit."

"Geez Angela take my legs while you're at it."

"You've haven't gotten injured enough for that." The two shared laugh before hearing the door open and suddenly slamming. They turned and didn't know a blushing Noah was on the other side. He power walked away from the door.

"There you are. I was walking to the medical wing to pick you up, but it seems you found me. What's with the red face?"

"Is there anything we should be doing? I mean we can make some food or something?" Ana pondered on that for a minute before getting an idea. "Oh there is something we can try that is pivotal to what we do around here?"

"Really?!" Noah asked with anticipation. The next thing he found himself doing was frying burger patties as Ana was frying eggs. "Recently I've been wanting to go to Hawaii and found this nice recipe for Loco Moco. Just a bit of burger meat, gravy, rice, and fried eggs can go a long way. I think you can make my daughter some for all the trouble she went through this mission. Plus I would like my future son in law to cook."

"Um, I know how to cook."

"Excellent. Then get to it."

Noah liked this warmth that came with being around Ana. And with her thinking of him as her future son in law that would make her his...mother. Noah smiled sadly as he could barely remember who that was. That woman he let him remember something about him and she called him her son. Perhaps one day he can remember he fully. If he was a brat or a good child.

Ana opened the rice cooker and scooped some of the cooked grain on the plate. "Meat?"

Noah pulled the two patties off and placed them on top of the mat of rice. The sniper put the eggs on top and edged the plate with gravy. "And here we are. A beautiful plate of food for my daughter."

"Should we make more or…"

"If you're up to the task, but perhaps for another day. After we deliver this I believe you were showing me an idea for what you wanted to craft."

"First food delivery. Hopefully Fareeha won't yell at me this time when I deliver it."

"She yelled?"

"Well I was living with Sombra and...that's when all this stuff kicked off. I guess I should thank your daughter for basically helping me."

Ana smiled gently and patted Noah on the shoulder. "I guess so. Now come."

The two walked toward the medical field to see Fareeha walking out Reinhardt in tow. "Ana, Sebastian! It's good to see my friends!"

"Reinhardt, how's my daughter?"

"Ah Burr and Angela wanted to me to be her travel buddy!" Fareeha shook her head. Noah stepped up and held the plate to her. "Ana wanted to get you something so we cooked up some Hawaiian dish for you to try out."

Ana took the plate and handed it to Fareeha. "It's made with plenty of love from your boyfriend." She opened her mouth to retort, but Ana moved over to Noah and dragged him away. "Say thank you!"

"Thank you mother, Sebastian." Noah opened his mouth to correct her, but she dug into the food and seemed enthralled with it. Ana laughed as she dragged Noah away. "We should let her rest and enjoy some time off."

The sniper moved Noah to the lab and opened. "Torbjorn is out visiting his family for awhile, but I learned a few things about weapons craft from him so I can teach you a bit."

Noah perked up and saw Ana clear a table. "Weapons crafting is very important skill to have. So I suppose you had an idea earlier before your training session with Genji."

"My one training session, but yeah. I got this little nifty tool from Sombra. It's my personal translocator." He placed it on the workbench and the tool lit up. It emitted soft purple light before Ana looked on with intrigue. "Similar technology to Winston's work on the Chronal Accelerator. And given what we know about her from Burr, Talon had some good work in its RnD departments. What were you intending to do with it?"

Noah pulled out his short blade and put it on the bench. "I need my translocator to be more efficient than just a getaway or something to help drop off my items. I think if any of my work in helping Sombra build new ones is that I can add it to personal objects. My blade would be able to teleport to me or me to it."

"Strategic in weaponry and awfully unique. And you've made these?"

"Sombra knew a couple of people that helped me make these. If I wasn't fixing my motorcycle I was helping Sombra make these better." He tossed the translocator away and snapped his fingers. He disappeared then reappeared across the room. "I didn't think I'd be weaponizing these little toys but hey with all that's going on I can't afford not to care."

"A very respectable idea young sir. But how can you do teleport your equipment to you?"

"I can answer that." A voice said behind Noah. He screamed for a second and backed away as Sombra appeared behind him. "Hey you look like you've seen a ghost."

"I told you stop doing that! It freaks me out every time you appear out of nowhere." Sombra faked pity. "Oh no I'm sorry that I bothered you with my powers, but I'm here on my break to help you. Besides who else will help you with these?"

"Winston." Ana replied with a deadpan look. Sombra playfully rolled her eyes and picked up the translocator. "I guess so, but I wanted to seem useful. Now guess Grandma here just ruined my help."

Ana crossed her arms. "Aren't you suppose to help us keep tabs on Gideon and his posse." Sombra waved her off. "I'm on it. I'm on it. Geez you old Overwatch members don't take in the time for me to properly work. Just like Gabe."

Noah saw Ana's eye twitch before she closed her eyes and let out a deep breath. "If you're on it then I won't get in your way, but I prefer of you helped us prepare for our next strike against Vishkar."

"Of course, Mama Bear. I'll just leave my boy behind in your caring hands. By the way, Noah…" He turned to Sombra who planted a kiss on his lips. "Good luck, mi amor."

Ana had a wide eye open as the hacker disappeared. Noah turned to Ana. "I'm sorry. She doesn't do that all the time."

"I'm calling Winston." She marched off. Noah barely replied when she was on her communicator. He facepalmed hard.

Sombra reappeared in the office Burr provided and tuned in on Symmetra. She was typing up a storm as she was watching over Moonlark and Aryt's recovery.

"So close. I had her in my hands, but then you had to fuck things up."

"Fuck things up. If Gideon allowed me to kill Pharah, you would have Widowmaker's head on the wall. Plus as stoic as you are, you sure were enjoying playing with your food."

"I am Vishkar's top agent. You think I liked playing with my opponents. I was trying to get her angry and make a fatal mistake. That's what I was doing. I'm surprised more that you let her grab your gun and crush it. It'll take weeks for you to gain any edge on her."

Aryt growled. "I can take her without that gun."

"Bullshit. The only time you ever pulled an advantage over Amari was because of that gun. Without it you're just a knife wielding nut that can run fast."

"You stupid bitch. I'm more than capable of dealing with Overwatch agents. You lost against Burr's supposedly dead best friend. And how he beat with a fucking tranq dart is hilarious. Bet you fell with your ass in the air and a stupefied look on your face."

Aryt laughed at that image before Moonlark punched him hard in the nose. Symmetra clenched her teeth hard and walked in. "No more fighting! This is meaningless!"

The two assassins were slowly silenced as the architect felt more anger rush through. "Debate all you want about how terrible each performance was but do realize who we fight for? These criticisms would have more impact if it was under something worth it, but no we cannot have that!"

"Symmetra."

"Be quiet! I'm sick tired of how you two act like squabbling children. If you get so overwhelmed working for him, then...ARGH!" She left and Sombra whistled at the engineer. She seemed to have reached her limits. Symmetra strolled through the halls and hit the walls in frustration. It was so strange to feel such rage run through her.

He threatened her life, made uncomfortable advantages, and has questioned her own loyalty. Though given how things have started with attacks on Overwatch agents, their operatives being manhandled and yet...Symmetra could barely process how things were going. The building. When Gideon was disappointed by her actions at the party he destroyed a massive building.

Casualties were plenty along with numerous first responders getting sick from all the debris and leftovers of the explosion. It was just like before where Vishkar has repeatedly committed such assault, Satya couldn't maintain her view. The price of peace and the betterment of humanity was to employ such harsh measurements.

On that day…

Symmetra exited her vehicle and ran out to the ruined area. She turned and saw many people being moved or covered up since they passed on. The smoky plume of dust and fire covered the nearby buildings as people continued to evacuate.

"Help! Help us please!"

The engineer bolted to the side and found people trapped to the rubble. "Help us please, we've got wounded!"

"Gideon." Symmetra growled. She weaved her arms around into a bold rhythm before forming several turrets around the rubble. "Stand back and hold onto each other."

The survivors did and in a blue flash the rubble was gone. They ran out into the sky as Symmetra was approached by some of the medical personnel.

They didn't question or reprimand her. They handed her a medical mask to prevent her from inhaling any dangerous chemicals. Taking it, Symmetra began working with the others as they tried helping as many people from the blown up building.

Yet despite her help, many still suffered. Casualties kept racking up even when she called for Vishkar assistance. No one came out unscathed and at the end of it, her outfit was covered in the rubble and dust of the former building.

Satya opened the door to her own private office and shut it. This battle, this war as Gideon called it, was opening so many doors. Years of seeing the subtle darkness and now he's opened it. Satya sat on chair and contemplated what she's done. What kind of atrocities has she had a hand in, in creating a better future how many lives has she trampled.

Sombra continued to watch the architect before seeing her reach the peak of her revelation. "Might be a good time." Her programs broke down the firewalls, cameras ran looping footage, and the entire room was under her thumb. Gideon could find out, but Sombra didn't care. There's an opening.

-Hey. Satya, can you hear me, amiga?-

The engineer looked at her screen and saw the sugar skull. "Who are you?"

-Not important. Or will be later. The point is I see you find yourself stuck in a dead end job with an asshole the size of your corporation's hypocrisy.-

"Excuse you?"

-Believe me, chica. I'm representing a new employer that you may or may not consider due to your previous history. True we marked you as a potential candidate, but I think we can jump immediately to offering you a chance. If not you'll never hear this again.-

"History? Explain!"

-Lawrence Burr has had his eye on your company for some time due to your numerous exploitation, corruption, and overall powerful corrupt corporation with now some government influence. And Lawrence, as one of the heads of the newly established Overwatch Organization, wants to end it. So do I, but I don't see myself working under him.-

"You work for that thief. Noah Bastian's partner."

-Work with, get it right and so you know him too? I'm kidding I knew that, but listen I'm going to offer something that you could consider an escape from your more than usually horrible job.-

The sugar skull was replaced with the Overwatch symbol. Satya gasped at the insignia with the holographic choice.Accept or Decline.

"You can't be serious."

-Totally. This is a heavy choice, but hey once you accept you'll be able to help the world a bit more with a less dickish head.-

"I-I...can't expect myself to work with my...enemy."

-This is all up to you, but hey if you want to keep working for that puto then be my guest. Just know, you had a choice.- Sombra released her control of the room and Symmetra saw all her equipment come back to life. And most of it went back to normal with only difference being the choice on her screen. Looking over it, Symmetra minimized it and transferred it to her phone. The phone pushed out the message in clear view.

She let out a deep breath and looked around her before turning it off. Gideon was watching through his monitor and his expression was not that of amusement. He clicked off her video feed and pulled up the council.

"Start the plan."

0-0-0-0-0

Winston was fiddling carefully with the translocator as Tracer was zipping around. "So you'll be able to teleport wherever this thing can go?"

"That's the plan Lena." Noah said. "Wouldn't that be so badass?" Lena nodded at that sentiment as Ana peeked over Winston's shoulder.

"Any idea on how it can work?"

"Actually the idea of making this weapon an anchor for Noah is simple and easy to do. The translocator will bring its owner wherever it is placed and even if it becomes part of something else that function will always come through. However having the translocator come to Noah is the rather difficult part. It's obvious that there's an attachment to Noah that makes the translocator his anchor to where it is. However if I were to bet, perhaps it could work the other way around. I'll need to look over some blueprints."

"Winston, how's it looking?" Noah asked as Winston now realized that everyone was looking over his shoulder. He shooed them all away before attaching the final screw in. The translocator activated and the blade was complete.

"This weapon will be perfect for me." Noah said as he held his blade in his hand. The butt of the hilt glowed a soft purple as he held it right.

"Well what you waitin' for luv, give it a shot."

Noah nodded as Winston set up a dummy. He focused on the dummy before throwing the blade. It whistled through air and when Noah smirked, he disappeared. In a quick second, Noah reappeared behind the dummy with the hilt in his hand. He caught his breath as everyone looked at him.

"That...was...Awesome! Lena did you see that?"

"Sure did, you were here," She blinked at his beginning spot. "Then here." Lena appeared right next to Noah in a second. "Bloody hell I thought we were close before, now we can be twinsies!"

She pulled him in for an arm hug and Noah smiled brightly. "Damn I missed out on all this optimism."

"Well we were close friends before all this shite happened with your memroy, but I say bugger to that cause we can make some new memories. Although it's good to call you Noah again."

He smiled with more joy behind it. "Thanks. Glad to know I'm doing some good." Winston moved toward him. "Alright Noah, I understand this is great achievement, but I would like for you to run these through some more tests to further your skills."

"Of course."

"And…" Winston went to a work bench next to them and pulled out a gun and a holster. "I made some improvements to your old grappling gun. I hope you remember how to use this."

Noah held the tool and felt the familiar weight. And when he closed his eyes, the buildings of Dorado and the fires of Egypt came back. Then he especially remembered climbing the cliffs of Gibraltar and he...he killed somebody. They were insane, but they knew him.

"Shit are you crying?"

"I didn't mean to do this Noah. I swear."

Noah looked at the grapple gun and held it close. "No...you just made a few things clear. I did work with you guys and I fought many battles with this thing by my side. I surprised you kept it."

"I also have your old goggles reworked if you want those." Winston stated. Noah shook as he belted down the holster to his side and slid the grapple gun inside. "No that won't be necessary. That won't be at all. Thank you my friend."

Winston patted Noah on the shoulder. "Anytime my friend." Ana stepped in and looked at Noah's blade. "Now why don't we get some practice with that."

"Hey your nifty tools kinda like blinking so I can actually help you with this kind of thing."

"Sure. I'd love the help Lena." Winston nodded at that, but heard an alert. A message from Burr. Winston wondered off as Noah, Lena, and Ana were trying their best to make the new tool work for them.

The scientist made it to Burr's office where the door opened to see 76 and Burr looking at the news. A recent terrorist attack by the newest found remnants of Talon. Right at the heart of St. Martinique.

"My God, what happened?"

"This recent attacked started with a few suicide bombers, but then the area was claimed after Talon soldiers hit a standoff with the local authorities. They also been heard bragging about a new bomb they've developed. The government has immediately requested Overwatch to intervene."

"Jack, we need to move. I'll assemble you, Genji, and I to take part in this mission for containment and defense."

"Defense?"

"Winston they've bragged about a new bomb. Normally I'd have Junkrat or Roadhog dealing with this, but the recent Junker mishaps have left busy. I need you to come with us and if there is a bomb, defuse it. We can't risk anything."

"Of course. Then who shall hold the reigns if we're both gone?"

Burr nodded at the question. "I've asked either Ana or Pharah to be our substitutes while we're out. However with Fareeha under monitor for the recent mission and her blood work underway it'll have to fall on Ana. Inform her immediately and then we should go."

Winston nodded as Jack turned to Burr. "Any reason they'd hold the island city hostage?"

"I shouldn't be too surprised. It's my home and Talon knew that. But going after my home is one of their biggest mistakes. And that almost includes trying to drop a mountain on us." Burr got up and switched out his work attire for a shorter blue and black coat.

"I'll be back. Prep the ship."

"Whatever you say sir." Jack replied with an almost sarcastic tone. Burr rolled his eyes at the old soldier before making a beeline to the medical room. Amélie was lying there with the medicine slowly wearing off. She looking at the ceiling when Burr stood above her.

"Where are you going?"

"Recent attack in St. Martinique has called for our attention. I'm heading with a squad there."

"I should come." She tried sitting up, but Burr stopped her. "No. This is a simple elimination mission. I'll be back before you know it."

"You'll be safe out there, will you?" Burr chuckled and kissed her on the forehead. "I'm always safe, ma chérie. Tell you what, by the time I get back I'll get us some dinner and we can eat here."

"Don't you have a mission to do?" Amélie said coyly. Burr sadly grinned and pressed his lips against hers softly. "I'll be back before you know it. And if Moonlark or Aryt are there, I'll beat them into submission for hurting you like this."

"I prefer you come back here." She replied. Burr shook his head. "I'll be seeing you Amélie." He left and she flashed a rare bright smile. Burr exited the med bay and passed the training hall. He saw Ana watching Tracer and...his best friend train. And with something flashy now.

He almost forgot he was on the move when he saw both of Ana's training participants wear always moving. Tracer kept blinking to one area and Noah would appear next to her though slightly off balance. Burr grinned before running over to the dropships and picked up Sombra's call.

"Sombra?"

-When you get back we need to talk.-

"Fine, but after this mission."

He entered the drop ship where Winston, Genji, and Jack were ready. Burr got into the pilot's seat and lifted the aircraft up. "Alright let's go."

A couple hours into flight and Burr kept an eye on the events. 76 put on his mask as everyone else got ready. "Jack, you got a plan?"

"Considering the standoff, it would make sense for a drop off. Winston and I will stand back and help local enforcement along helping any citizen in danger of being caught in the crossfire. I think you and Genji should infiltrate the main holds and take them out from the inside. Find the bomb and inform Winston. After a confirmation is made we'll make our way and defuse it."

Burr mulled over the plan. "Not bad, but St. Martinique is huge with the recent expansion during the past decade. It'd be better if we drop Genji and me off separately as a way to cover ground. We'll keep constant radio contact and alert each other instantly of any movement."

Jack thought it over and nodded. "It'll be harder for them to find separate agents. Here, give me control and we can start." Burr let go of the controls and 76 took control.

"Winston, what's any possible chance they actually have a bomb under their possession?"

"Low, but from what we've heard, they don't appear to be bluffing." Burr nodded and saw the city below them. Genji opened the door and Burr hopped down to the closest roof. He rolled safely on top and watched the ship leave him. A few minutes later it stopped above another rooftop and Genji jumped down.

The evening sky was shedding its last few rays of sunshine as Burr pulled out his pistol. He climbed down the building and landed on the ground.

"Genji, do you hear me?"

-Loud and clear. I already spot enemies.-

"I want this done quietly. Take them out without alerting anyone else."

Burr looked around and saw a few men with guns appear. He hid in the shadows as they continued to walk. One sauntered off and Burr took a moment to examine him. They were armored. Not on the level of Pharah or Reinhardt's armor, but well enough to take a few shots.

The one that wandered off moved near him and was surprised to feel a blade slide over his throat. "Don't try making a noise. Your throat will be spilling red before you get a single click out."

The agent looked at him before trying to move. Burr moved his arm and held the man in a chokehold. He struggled for a little bit as his enemy tried fighting as hard as he could. It was almost astounding how long he lasted before Burr put more pressure. The neck snapped and Burr gently put him down.

"Hey where'd he go?"

"Trying to find any civilians. Guy loves scaring the shit out them." Burr crouched down and went towards the last two. His pistol was given a silencer and he knew what to do. One shot hit the first man in the shoulder. Burr charged in and kicked him in the chest. The second aimed his gun, but was hit with a bullet to the knee.

He felt a knee bash his helmet and cracked the protective glass, shattering its pieces into his eye. Burr covered his mouth and aimed his pistol at the other man before ending him with silenced shot in the head.

-Burr, are you there?"

"Yeah, still here. What's the status Winston?"

-So far the threats of the bomb are still there. No new information has been given, but the police are starting to call their bluff.-

"Hey what do you know? Maybe there is no bomb."

-I'd correct your statement soon Burr.-

"Genji, what is it?"

-I found out from one of the soldiers that there IS a bomb. Inside the local church near the heart of the town.- Burr's eyes widened.

"Winston verify his statement. Genji, meet me at the church." Burr reloaded his pistol and didn't see anyone else around. He ran through the alleys toward the alleged location.

0-0-0-0-0

Satya closed her computer and sighed in relief that her workload is done. Her phone buzzed and she looked at it.

"Off on meeting. Go upstairs to the office. Be seeing you. Gideon." Satya examined the message for any off messaging, but saw none. The elevator took her high up to his office and saw no one on the floor.

That was the first indicator something was wrong. She put on her visor and took out her gun as the doors opened.

"Symmetra."

"Moonlark, what's going on?" The assassin didn't say a word and waved at the door. The engineer walked in with extreme caution and saw Aryt standing there with his knives at the ready. In the middle of the room was a screen with Symmetra sitting before the Overwatch recall sign on her phone.

-Betrayal is one of the toughest pills to swallow when it comes from someone of trust. There's more, but that's all I have to say to you.- Gideon's message read. Moonlark stepped before Symmetra and pulled out her gun.

"So this is how it ends?" Symmetra asked. Moonlark pointed her gun at her head and sighed. She lowered it. "It's...hard to swallow this, but we'll give you chance."

Aryt pulled out his knife. "Chalaane ke lie aur rok nahin."

She bolted out the door as Aryt and Moonlark waited a few seconds. The two waited a second before following.

Symmetra ran down the halls as Aryt and Moonlark ran after her. She didn't slow down for anything as she heard guns clicking and aiming at her head. She turned around and faced her pursuers. They fired at her and she barely dodged. She activated one of the teleporters and jumped through.

Aryt and Moonlark jumped through and saw Symmetra exiting the building. "Gideon's not going to like her getting away."

"But we can mess her up enough for Gideon to believe she's dead." Little did they know another was watching this development. Sombra watched the two discuss what to do and sighed. She locked onto a signal and placed a translocator down as snapped her fingers.

Symmetra ran hard as Aryt and Moonlark continued to pursue her. The two caught up and jumped her. Symmetra hit the ground hard before kicking Aryt away and raising her arm to block Moonlark's hammer fist. She kneed Moonlark in the gut to get her away before Aryt ran to her.

She pulled out her gun and slapped him away. "Sorry Symmetra." The Indian woman didn't know what that meant before Moonlark punched her face and Aryt rammed into her. She kicked Aryt off before leaning against the wall.

An intense pain was felt as she saw a knife embedded into her side. Aryt looked at her with regret and mouthed an apology. Symmetra groaned before creating a turret. The two assassins took a defensive stance as Symmetra fired a beam into the debris above her and caved herself off.

The engineer ran from her attackers as blood was pouring out the wound leaving splatters in the puddles. She reached for her phone and saw the message with Sombra. Could they have someone ready to help? Any rational person would call the authorities for any medical personnel, but how could she not find herself vulnerable to any other adversaries.

Her brain was overpowered by pain as she clicked the accept option of the recall. A split decision that hopefully won't end with her body found in these alleys. She sat against the wall and tried pulling the knife out. It wouldn't budge. She tried again and fresh blood poured over the dry stains of the first wave. Symmetra stopped before feeling lightheaded.

A purple light was seen before she passed out.

0-0-0-0-0

Blue spot light shined down the buildings as Burr put down most of the opposition from his destination. A bomb was apparently in the local church. No one has been to the church, but that doesn't knock it off the list.

He found his pathway more clear as he got closer. Genji was already ahead of him, but not quite there. Pushing through, Burr ran outside the alleyway and found the church. It wasn't heavily guarded. In fact no guards were there.

"Genji. You said the church in the heart of the town, right?"

-Yes.-

"Well I'm looking at it and see no guards. And you're not here, so assume you didn't move them."

-No, the guard has a map and the center of the town was circled.-

"Winston/76, any verification?"

-Sources agree it's the most likely place to lay down a bomb. The underground tunnels are clear, the water infrastructure shows no change…- Winston paused.

-Sources point to yes. Listen I'm going in with the local swat team. We'll meet you there.-

"Let me and Genji at least confirm your thoughts. I don't want you bringing in locals to an empty building." They agreed and let the two in first. Genji landed next to Burr and drew out his sword. Burr pushed the door slowly as he tried aiming down his sights. The two walked cautiously down the path before seeing a lit screen on the stand.

It showed a bomb near the port and a map with the pier location revealed. And its timer had twenty five minutes left. The two were taken by surprise at this as Genji contacted Winston.

"The port! Winston, the bomb is in the port in a warehouse at Pier 42!" Winston and 76 alerted the others and their pursue began. Burr tried looking at the map for any other location, but saw none.

"Alright, Genji the bomb is under Winston and 76's care. We can probably find a way to-" A loud crash was heard and Burr turned around to see Genji dangling on the roof with a tendril holding him up. The front door slammed shut as he heard malicious chuckling.

Burr pulled out his pistol and aimed right at Gideon. The head of Vishkar sneered at him before slamming his hand on the ground and bringing Genji down with it. The cyborg broke the benches and tried getting up.

"Dr. Ziegler's work is much a miracle to spectate in action." Genji grabbed his sword and cut the tendril off. "Sharp."

"Genji, dragon." Burr ordered.

"Ryūjin no ken o kurae!" A green dragon burst to life and consumed the building as Gideon tried dodging, but the dragon caught a part of him. He grunted as the wound seemed almost burn him. He fell onto his knees as Burr and Genji approached him.

"Not bad. Pretty good." Gideon mumbled before waving his fingers. A metallic tendril bursted from the ground and hit Genji in the back of his neck. The Shimada screamed in agony as Burr didn't realize what just happened until it was too late.

Genji fell to the ground with his lights off and body limp. "Genji!"

"I wouldn't worry about him when you got your own problems." Burr turned and saw Gideon punching him in the face. The older man laid a severe beatdown leaving Burr completely defenseless. He was thrown, punched, kicked, twisted all throughout the church. Gideon then snapped his fingers and a tendril picked Burr by the ankle and threw him into the screen.

Sparks and glass hit Burr hard as he barely moved. His eyes caught Gideon sauntering toward him. Burr spat out a wad of blood as he tried to punch Gideon. He blocked it and starred his enemy right at his face.

"Nice hit, I can feel that. Not the same fourteen year old Katrina scrapped off the street." Burr let his anger course through him and help him fight back. He tackled Gideon and the two continued their fight. The Vishkar CEO threw Burr off and lifted his hands.

Metallic tendrils rose from the ground and aimed at Burr. He in turn clapped his hands together and brought two shields. Gideon looked at them with interest and motioned his hands forward. The shields defended with its bod and cut with the edges. Burr kept the pressure up as he threw one of them at Gideon.

The light shield hit a tendril and cut it down. Still flying it barely sliced Gideon's cheek. Burr panted hard before Gideon touched his cheek. His fingers dabbed the dark red liquid and he shook his head.

"Didn't Noah leave a good enough scar?"

"He should've cut deeper." Gideon smiled before taking out a remote. "I'm going to enjoy this."

"What're you doing?"

-Burr, we're near the bomb. We'll begin to defuse it once we have a visual.- Gideon waved the remote.

"NO, STAY OUT OF-!" A loud explosion was heard and Burr turned to see a massive white cloud in the sky. There was no fire, no plumes of smoke, all of it just white. It spread all over the town and covered it. Burr ran to the doorway and saw Gideon reaching for a gas mask.

"What have you done?"

Burr looked at Gideon who admired his work. "Don't worry. Your friends are fine. The explosion would've knocked them out before the drugs took effect."

"What drugs?"

"Talon's drugs. Deadlock's drugs. Katrina's formula. Or simply the substance that your lover gave your best friend. The very drug that broke him."

Burr looked at the ground as the realization took over. "The fear hallucinogen. What the hell did Katrina have to do with this?"

Gideon seemed to be listening. "Ironic that this product came from her and was eventually used against her own son."

"You son of a bitch."

Gideon smiled as Burr fell to his knees. The Overwatch leader held onto his blood soaked garments as Gideon strolled over and kicked him in the face. "Looks like homefield advantage doesn't help."

"Winston...76…" He looked at his other teammate. "Genji...we gotta move. We gotta tell the others." Gideon loved the dazed gaze of his enemy. He picked up by his jacket and threw him out the window.

Burr could feel the glass cut his face and clothes as he landed in the white smokey area. He breathed in and out before shutting his mouth. He groaned getting up and fell on one knee. Burr turned to see Gideon walking out and approaching him.

"Breathe it in, Lawrence. Admire its effects." A loud gunshot rang as Gideon stood still for a second. The CEO barely moved as red trickled down his face and onto the ground. Burr held his gun in perfect form before dropping it.

Yet he wasn't holding the smoking gun. "Burr!"

"Amélie?" Widowmaker dropped down. "What the-how are you here?"

"You honestly expected me to rest while you were endanger? How foolish." Burr grinned and walked up. The assassin held her arms open as Burr came to hug her. "Sorry I guess."

SHNK!

The sharp end of blade came from her stomach as Burr's eyes widened. "No. No Amélie!" He pointed his gun up and fired wildly. The attacker was hit and fell to the ground. Amélie fell to the ground in thud as Burr let the rage takeover. He ran up to see the killer and find...Noah.

He was clutching his neck as blood became a stream. "No. Nonononono, Noah?"

"I see you prioritize the people you love. You fucking traitor." Burr walked up to Noah with tears threatening to come out. "You brought me back when I didn't want! You left me to die when I needed you the most!"

"No, I didn't mean to let all this happen. I just wanted-"

"You wanted? I was pushed to the edge of sanity, your enemies destroyed me to get to you! All my problems began when I let you drink with me!" Noah began choking on his blood. Burr knelt down toward him. "Selfish. And when I needed you the most, you weren't there. I was...happy without you. Better without you!"

Burr couldn't reply as he felt all those words be true. Noah gave him one last glare of pure hatred before dying in front of him. Burr then heard a cough. Amélie was crawling toward him. "Burr, I thought you wanted to help me."

"No, I do. I do!" Burr saw her fall down on his lap. Her blood was intermingling with Noah's. "I wanted more for us Amélie. Once I stopped Talon and Vishkar I wanted us to settle down. I wanted that a life with you."

Amélie tried raising her hand to touch him, but it fell flat. Her eyes were

"A life with her? My wife?" Burr froze as heard that familiar voice. "Not only did you move in on her, you got my beloved killed."

"Gerard." The former Overwatch agent stood above Burr and his dead loved ones. His eyes were cold and unforgiving. "I...I can explain."

"You promised me that you would keep her safe if something were to happen to me. And I thought you had enough respect not to make a move on your friend's wife."

"No Gerard, I tried. I really tried!" Burr's tears were now flowing. "I tried to save your wife, I tried to keep my distance. I tried not to love her, bu-but-!"

Gerard grabbed Burr by the throat. "You worthless piece of shit! How could I have trusted some thief? How could you be my legacy?!"

Jack appeared. "How could you have led Overwatch properly?"

Winston next. "How could I have trusted you to help?"

Each member came up and questioned Burr. Gerard lifted Burr in the air and he saw Noah turning his back on him. Amélie wrapped her arm around her old lover and ignored the heart wrench in Burr's eyes.

"I...I failed. I can't beat him. I can't protect them. I deserve everything coming my way."

Gideon appeared next to him. "Glad you think so. Now sleep." Burr closed his eyes before feeling a needle be jammed into his neck.

*Next Time

"As a result of these events, I will assume head of Overwatch." Ana said.

Noah jumped down and saw the town. He walked in and examined the U.N guard cutting St. Martinique from public access. He looked at the problem with little concern as he threw his blade over the guard.

"What're...put down the gun." Angela warned as she reached for the staff. The assailant tilted their head before stepping into the light. The doctor gasped as they approached her and the other unconscious Overwatch members.
