Chapter 3.

The blue door slowly creaked open, and Valkyr's head peered around it. Hana raised a hand and waved to the new recruit. " H…Heh..Hey! Sorry for the poor introduction earlier, I am Hana Song and you are Valkyr, correct?" Valkyr nodded in response. "Well I've heard that we have a mission to go on soon so I thought I'd come meet you so that we can get to know eachother a little bit before we go?" Valkyr nods once again and opens the door for Hana to enter.

Hana was truly amazed once she had entered. The room was already completely decorated, the walls were a nice mix of silver and blue, there were little statues that seemed to move by themselves all over the place, and everything was completely spotless. "Wow. Valkyr your room is really pretty." Valkyr emits a sound that sounded rather pleasing to the ears. "Okay, so you can't talk, right? So, how exactly do you wanna, you know, get to know eachother?" Valkyr looks at the floor for a few seconds before pointing at Hana and then tapping the sides of her head. "Okay… so I talk, you listen, and you can make hand signals when need be?" Valkyr nods once again. Maybe this won't be as hard as I thought it would be. Hana took a seat on a nearby chair, while Valkyr sat on her bed. "So how are you enjoying Overwatch so far?" Valkyr nods and gives a thumbs up. "That's great! I thought you might, all the people here are really great… You've already met Lena and Angela, they're impossible to hate." Directly after Hana has finished her sentence, Valkyr had stood up and taken Hana by the hand, brought her over to the bed. She then layed back on the bed and posted the spot next to her. "Oh! Well, okay… I guess." Hana layed back next to Valkyr.

Okay, this is really weird now. Is she gonna kill me mid sentence? Or does she plan something else? Bringing her out of her thoughts, she felt a nudge on her shoulder. Valkyr was slightly pushing her arm, like an eager child waiting to hear the rest of a story. "Oh! Sorry, just lost in my own thoughts there. So…. Ugh, sorry but it's kinda hard to think of things to say when it's only me speaking…" Upon hearing this, Valkyr rose to her feet and wandered over her desk and grabbed what seemed to be an object similar to a tablet. She sat back down next to Hana and opened the device, opening some sort of writing program, she pulled a stylus from the back and began to draw something. After she finished, she turned the tablet to Hana and it read.

"Does this help?"

Haha breathed a not-so-subtle sigh of relief. "Yes this actually helps a lot, it'll give me a chance to ask more detailed questions and get to know you better." Valkyr began to write again.

":)"

"Haha, awesome! So, how was meeting the crew originally?"

"It was strange at first. I rarely make contact with humans, let alone be saved by them. I was very unsure about how I felt receiving help from Overwatch. Then my first interaction with anyone was Lena sprinting towards me and hugging me."

"Yeah thats Lena for you, I'd get used to it, cause it will happen again and if it doesn't you'll likely crash into her at least once."

"Yes I imagined so. How is it that she can teleport around? And what is that thing on her chest?"

"That's what's known as a 'chrono-accelerator', at least I think that's what is called… It was made by Winston here actually, what it is….."

What was originally supposed to be a five to ten minutes meet and greet session turned into a three hour conversation. They talked about anything and everything, whether it was about how some members of Overwatch fight, differing equipment that is used between the two, and conversations about rumors around the HQ such as Genji having a thing for Mercy or how Soldier 76 supposedly watches anime.

"... like I said we don't know if it's true, all we know is Mercy said she walked in on him and the was a Japanese cartoon on the screen." Laughing and rolling to her side, Hana got a glance at the clock. "Oh my god it's already 10? I guess I gotta get going, I'll see you tomorrow morning Valkyr!"After exiting the room Hana finally got done time to think about what had just happened. What just happened? That was just supposed to be like 'Hi, I'm your partner, k bye.' But somehow it just, went on longer, and I kinda enjoyed it? She seems really nice, but like Lena said she had a lethal vibe… I think I need to learn some more about her before I really start to trust her...

The next morning….

Hana's alarm clock rang for 6AM, the girl had gotten little sleep last night mainly due to her thinking back to the conversation with Valkyr. She seems okay, but I can't help but feel that she's hiding something, and I don't know what….

After crawling out of bed, Hana the on the usual tee shirt and jeans combo and then immediately went down to the debriefing room, where she saw Jack and Valkyr already waiting for her. Jack began to speak in that gruff voice, "Miss Song, nice of you to join us, we were just about to discuss your mission today." Hana turned her attention to Valkyr, she seemed to be pleased to see her, waving gently in her direction. She waved back and took a seat across from her, preparing herself for the mission details. "We received news of Talon agents working around these parts of Numbani, your task is to go to the warehouse they are hiding in and wipe them out."

"That's it? Sounds simple enough."

"Yes we'll I didn't get to mention it scouts say at least fifty targets, all well armed. You'll need to be at your top performance, but we know you can do it. You head out in three hours, any questions?" Both girls shook their heads. "Good, meet at the ship with your gear in three hours. Dismissed."

After leaving the debriefing room, Hana felt she could use the three hours to get some more rest. She simply couldn't get this new recruit out of her head, whether it was because she's interested in them or didn't trust them, she didn't know. I'm going to figure out just who she is and what she wants, she seemed really innocent and fun but I swear there's something off about her. This mission might just help me with my new personal mission.

Later….

Two and a half hours had passed and Hana had just awoken in time, she had to scramble to throw on her Meka outfit and she had to sprint down to the armory to grab her gear.

The armory is a rather large room filled with everyone's equipment, it's usually pitch black in there especially when people were already out, but this time the lights were on, and the doors open. When she entered Valkyr was already preparing herself. She had a vest like article on her chest that seemed to hold her tablet, and next to her lay a very flashy clip fed assault rifle, a white and gold pistol that seemed to fire rounds bigger than some sniper rifles, and a very nice looking Katana in its sheath. Valkyr noticed her walk in and pulled out the tablet. "Hello Hana, did you rest well?"

Hana was slightly taken aback by this, she didn't tell anyone she went to go sleep. "Um, yeah I slept fine, but how did you know I was asleep?"

"I wanted to talk with you some more before our mission, but you never answered when I knocked, so I peeked in and saw you asleep, I thought it best to leave you be."

"Well thank you for letting me sleep, we'll have to talk again after the mission is over." Why did she enter my room if I didn't answer? I clearly wasn't in a good position to talk if I didn't answer the door.

"Excellent. :) Are you ready to set out?"

"Not yet, I just have to grab one more thing."

"Okay, and if I may ask, how do you fight? And with what?"

Hana wandered over to another section of the armory. "Oh you know, nothing too special…." She opened the door to reveal her prized Meka, the pink colour and all the sponsorship stickers in all it's glory. She hopped in and wandered over to the firing range, where she set up by the closer range targets, one she opened fire with the two machine guns, bullets tore through everything in front of the devastating weapons. Valkyr sat back and watched the carnage.

"Rather impressive, I can see why they chose you to be my ally."

"Thank you, thank you." Hana bowed with her mech. "So, you know how I handle things, how do you like to fight? It would help me if I knew what to expect."

Valkyr sat still for a few seconds before writing, "Mainly just use the weapons you see here, from medium to close range. If it's my accuracy you're worried about…" Valkyr then walked up to the firing range, readying her rifle, once at least fifteen targets popped up she opened fire. She'd never say it out loud, but Hana was pretty impressed. She's no McCree when it comes to accuracy, but damn if she wasn't close to him. Targets seemed to drop the second they came up, and endless amounts rose. After about thirty targets were shot down, her rifle needed reloading, and rather than stopping, she tossed the weapon to the side and brought out her sidearm and continued shooting. The only thought Hana could think was what was that little thing, and where can she get one? It sounded as if a miniature explosion went off each time it fired, and every bullet seemed to go through their targets and onto the ones behind them. Once all rounds were expended from the firearm, Valkyr turned back to face Hana, "You won't have to worry about me missing. :)"

"You certainly have some skill…. This mission will prove your worth to us however, so stay on guard." God if this keeps up I'm actually gonna start liking her! "Well, looks like it's time to go, let's get to the ship. It's time to see what you're really capable of, Valkyr."

A/N: Would you look at that? I uploaded and it wasn't months after the last part! I promise things will kick up in the story too , kind of a slow burn happening right now but I'll make sure it's not too slow. Until then, I hope you're enjoying my story so far!
