The competition rules were clear and loud, and everyone was getting ready to be the fastest in the place.
It was the speed test, with Lena as the coordinator, and everything was going perfectly wrong.
For some reason, Reinhart listened himself in the competition and he occupied most of the start line zona, and so, the competitors were reduced to just a few.
Soldier 76, because he wanted to demonstrate that heroes are capable of everything,
Lucio
Lena Oxton, herself, since she wanted to have fun.
Some soldiers from Soldier 76 selection (Tracer supposed he didn't want them to win either, because they're were all kinda overweight)
And last, but not least, Danny, from the self proclaimed Special Forces.
"Weren't you supposed to be a doctor, or something?" Soldier 76, who was right next to Danny, asked him with a serious tone in his voice.
"Well, I have to get people to safety as fast as possible, so yeah" He laughed, and Mercy, who was spectating from the outside of the field, smiled at the little boy.
"Yes, you are right! Safety is number one priority!" Reinhart laughed next to them, stretching, "I wish you two good luck beating this man up!" Danny laughed with him, and at some point, Tracer joined the laughter.
Soon enough, they were all ready, with Dva as the referee that was only there because she wanted to shoot the Go! Gun, and a lot of people as viewers, including the rest of the Pawcifisters, who were cheering Danny as hard as he could, with loud whistles and flags and confetti.
"Go, Danny!" Logus yelled from the steps, waving a paw flag at him with excitement and joy.
"Someone's a little excited" Bruce mocked Logus mood and earned a stern look that quickly turned into a laughter, and it didn't stop until someone coughed behind them, making them compose themselves.
More because it was Mercy than anything else.
"Is that...your medic?" She questioned them with a soft tone and a small smile on her face. Making Logus and Bruce keep silence.
John slowly nodded.
"Ah!" She clapped her hands together, making a girly noise, "That's wonderful! Do you think I could meet him after the competition?" She asked, almost as if they could actually say no.
"Sure" Bruce agreed nonetheless, feeling like maybe something could happen between the chief of the medical quarters of Overwatch, and their own little medic, "Let's just hope he wins, because if he doesn't that's gonna take his mood a bit down" Mercy made something like a disappointed/Sad noise before nodding.
"Then we'll have to cheer him hard, yes?" She smiled at them and sat beside them, next to Bruce, who was staring at her intensively, "What is it...uh…" She tried looking for his name in her memory.
"I'm Bruce" He introduced himself, "This is Logus" He pointed to his big friend, "And Johnny" John slightly bowed in front of her, with a smile on his face, "We're the special forces, Pawcifisters" He grinned when she nodded, accepting their position without questioning.
"I am Angela Ziegler, it's a pleasure to meet our Special Forces in person. I beg you to keep us all save from danger" She smiled and something moved inside the 3 members of the Pawcifister's heart.
Well, they didn't call her an angel for nothing.

"Was there even a point in participating?" Bruce wondered as he watched Danny crossing the line in first place, with Soldier 76 behind him, and then Tracer, "I mean, sure Tracer can move quicker, but in terms of long distance, anyone could win against her" He laughed as he saw Danny looking at Tracer with joy, he was enjoying his win against their idol #1.
"What the heck, you're faster than light, love!" Danny laughed.
He wasn't, but running all the time from enemies and a mad Johnny gave him experience in that aspect.
"Fancy how Lena's chronal accelerator has to rest every few uses, huh" Angela snickered at John's comment, and nodded.
"Yes, is one of the things that troubles Tracer and Winston the most" She nods to herself, "I feel bad I can't help her in anyway possible...science isn't my thing...or at least, not that kind of science" She giggled, "Anyway, can I speak with him now?" She asked with puppy eyes, and Bruce laughed.
"It's not like he's our son, sure you can do whatever you want with him" he laughed as he walked to wards the exit, "But make sure he's on time for the next competition, I think it's lifting, or strength, or something" He went to meet Lena and Danny, who were both talking with Reinhart about the next competition, in which he was the leader.
"Hey there, love!" She instantly skipped to his side and hugged him, shocking both him and his friends.
"Uh...when did this happen?" John wondered while Logus looked at them both gobsmacked as Bruce returned the hug, resting his arms on her waist for a second before removing them quickly.
"Wot?" She replied with another question and realized this wasn't something people normally did, and let go, "Sorry, love" She laughed nervously, scratching the back of her head.
"It's okay, I don't mind" He said and ruffled her hair playfully, "I like hugs" She beamed at him and hugged him again, her short hair tickling his chin as she rubbed her face on him.
"She is an affective woman, yes" Angela said as she stepped closer and tapped Danny's shoulder for him to notice her, "Hello"
Danny blushed and checked both of his sides, before looking at her with a surprised yet confused look.
"Me?" He questioned and she giggled.
"Yes, you. That's why I tapped you" She smiled at him, "I understand you are a medic?" She asked him, this time with quite a serious tone, and he just nodded, "Where did you learn?" He snickered.
"Internet" He replied, "I'm self-taught, 'till some point" She blinked in confusion…
You can't just self teach yourself medicine.
"Every time we were playing in the orphanage and someone got hurt , I'd look for a way to heal them, since we didn't have money to go see a doctor, and there weren't many kind doctors in our area" He explained, "It was just the basics, but then it turned into something of my interest, and I started checking stuff at the Cybers, I started buying books, looking at videos, volunteering in hospitals...the first fifteen years of my life were all self taught, just like the others. The rest I learned it either in the army or taking important classes with different people" That made Lena separate from Bruce and turn to see all of the Pawscifisters.
"Wait, you said you participated in the Omnic Crisis.." Bruce nodded, looking at her confused, "That was years ago!... How- Just, how old are you all?" Bruce laughed.
"I'm twenty one" He replied with a grin, and behind him, Logus placed his hands on Bruce's shoulders.
"Twenty four" Logus said, without actually demonstrating any emotion.
"Twenty three" John waved at her with his usual, cool expression.
"And I'm the youngest, just reached twenty, two months ago" Said Danny, without taking his eyes out of the Angel in front of him, who was just as confused.
"Wait, wait! Just one second, you participated in the omnic crisis?" Angela asked Danny, surprised, "But, that was a long time ago! You weren't even born, or maybe just a baby when it occurred!" Bruce sighed, and clapped twice to get everyone's attention.
"John, would you kindly?" The mentioned blonde coughed and fixed himself before standing straight and focused.
"I believe you are all familiar with Climatologist, Mei-Ling Zhou, otherwise known as Mei, accident?" The two former agents of Overwatch nodded knowingly, "Well, basically, the same happened to us, just that it all happened in a different time, now, I believe Boss already told you, Lena, about our story in Russia, when the omnic attacked" The brit girl nodded, already getting a bit closer to Bruce, unknowingly, "We weren't trying to survive. We were currently on a mission to deliver food, and help to a town nearby our military base...but it all went to hell, quite literally, after we got there. We were attacked by hundreds of them, and even when we were still the Special Forces, there was no way we could've survived that shit…" He sighed, "We were supposed to die there, to be honest, we were all ready for it" He chuckled, "We even said goodbye and all that cheesy stuff you say to your comrades before you die" Bruce laughed next to Lena.
"I remember Logus crying so hard" Logus laughed and nodded at Bruce's comment, "Ah, dude. I think that was the hardest thing we've been through" John nodded, "Good thing we will only have to go through it once more!" He laughed it off just like his team, "Damn if it wasn't for that Freezero guy we'd be dead" Danny nodded and started talking about something else with Angela, who was slowly leading him away from everybody.
"Freezero guy?" The remaining members of the special forces nodded simultaneously.
"He didn't tell us his name, so we just decided to call him that" John explained, "He didn't tell us anything, actually, he just appeared out of nowhere, shot us with something weird that freezed us, and, well, I guess he left afterwards" Bruce nodded.
"It was like blink of an eye, really. We needed a lot of information to realize that we were a bit out of time" He scoffed, "The town was all burned down, without any population, just the four of us" He sighed, "Don't ask us how we survived, we don't know…" He shook his head, "We tried looking for the guy that saved our arses, but not a single thing we found, so we gave up after a year, and decided to go back to saving people" Logus hummed in agreement.
"And that's basically how we got here" Logus finished with a grin as he walked away from them, stretching his arms.
"Time to go,we're winning all the competitions, so you better not miss it, Lena" Bruce ruffled her hair once more before turning his back on her, making his way next to Logus.
"W-Wait! I'll go with you!" Lena tried, but a hand stopped her.
"Before that, could you check on Danny? Mercy took him somewhere without us noticing, and I'd like to know if he's alright. You know the place better than me" John plead, "If you find him, call us" He took her hand and left something inside of it before leaving.
She slowly nodded, watching them go, readying herself to go look for those two lovebirds, when she received a call from Winston.
"Yeah, love?" She answered, and waited patiently.
"Lena?...We have a situation" She blinked in confusion, "Mercy and the new guy, Daniel….they are gone"...
