Chapter 2
-Kanian's POV The Next Day-
I woke up the next day to Hana sleeping soundly next to me. I went wide eyed for a minute and then yesterday came flowing back. I sighed and smiled and looked at Hana's sleeping form. I got up without waking her up and grabbed a fresh pair of clothes and walked into the shower. I tossed my clothes on the sink and turned on the water. I felt the warm water flow and removed my dirty clothes and stepped in.
I was lost in thought as the warm water calmed my nerves and my muscles. I heard the door open and opened the curtain to see Hana walking in. She rubbed her eyes and started to yawn as she undressed herself. I closed the curtain and cleared my throat.
"Occupied." I said. She stopped yawning and opened to curtain and saw me. She smirked and hopped in with me. "What, afraid of a little skin on skin contact?" she asked. I sighed and smiled. I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her. After our shower, we dried ourselves off and put on fresh clothes. We walked out and met with Lena and Angela.
"Morning Lena, Angela. How are you guys?" I asked. "We've been well Kanian. How about you and Hana?" Lena asked with a smirk. I became beat red until Hana came to my rescue. "How about you get yourself a man, and then we can talk like that, ok?" Hana retorted. Lena looked at her and smiled.
"I like you Hana, you got spunk just like me." She said blinking over to Hana and giving her a noogie. Hana grumbled and managed to squeeze out of her hold and began chasing her while yelling a string of swear words in Korean. I chuckled and scratched the back of my head. R7 beeped and rolled over to me and Angela.
"Good morning you bucket of bolts." I said hugging the astromech. [A/N: I plan on giving him R2-D2's personality (Rest in peace Kenny Baker ;~;) and Chopper's sass in Star Wars Rebels.] R7 did some beeps and smacked me lightly with his small mechanical arm. "Haha, it's good to see you too." I said. He looked at Angela and rolled around and beeped happily. "Seems R7 likes you Angela." I said smiling. She laughed and knelt next to the astromech.
"I enjoy your company too little one." She said rubbing his head. He made a sound that must've been a purr and rubbed his head on Angela. She chuckled and smiled at him. "You can keep him, little squirt likes to start trouble all the time." I teased. R7 rolled next to me beeping angrily. I put my hand on his head and stood there while R7 tried to punch me with his small arms. He eventually gave up and stayed near Angela's side. I chuckled and grabbed Hana and Lena's collar and stopped their chase.
"You gonna apologize and make up now?" I asked. Lena smiled and apologized to Hana. Hana just crossed her arms looked away. "Hana." I said looking at her. She looked at me and sighed. She apologized to and smiled.
"See, now was that hard?" I asked in an impersonation of Hana. She looked at me and scoffed. I let go of Lena and pulled Hana in. I wrapped my arms around her waist as she giggled when I did it. Lena smiled and felt someone hit her leg. She looked down and saw R7 beeping away.
"What is it R7?" she asked. I looked at him and could understand some of his beeps. "He says, there is a faint trace of a robot somewhere off near a forest. Near a town called Eichenwald." I translated. They looked at R7. "You sure?" Angela asked. R7 nodded. I ran to my room and switched into my gear. I levitated the lightsabers into my hands and hooked them onto my belt. I finished putting on my armor and saw Hana standing in the doorway in her skintight suit with a bunch of random sponsors. We ran back to the hangar and saw R7, Angela and Lena waiting for us.
Lena and R7 entered the cockpit. R7 plugged in coordinates for the signal and soon we were soaring through the clouds to Eichenwald. We arrived there in less than an hour. Me and R7 decided to do recon and hopefully find the signal. I jumped and landed as R7 flew next to me. "Lead the way." I said and followed R7. We came to a clearing and saw a robot with a machine gun arm and moss, grass, and flowers over it. On his shoulder, there was a birds nest on its shoulder. We hid behind a rock and peeked over to see it poking the water and examining the beauty of nature around it.
I saw the innocence of the robot and felt sympathetic towards it. I walked out of my cover and it looked at me. I waved.
"Hi there, I promise, I am not here to hurt you." I said holding my arms up. It looked at me and tilted its head. I walked a few steps closer until R7 flew and appeared in front of the robot. The robot looked at him and beeped. R7 beeped back and beckoned me forth with his arm. I walked over as R7 plugged into the robot's leg and began getting data on him.
After R7 was done, he looked at me and produced a hologram of who it was. It was a Bastion-Unit assault class used during the Omnic Crisis. I was confused on what the Omnic Crisis was and decided to ask Winston when we got back.
"Lena, Angela, Hana, you guys can come down. He's harmless." I said in my comms. I heard blinks and saw Lena appeared next to me looking at the robot. Hana and Angela came jogging and stopped to admire the robot.
"I can't believe there was still one alive after the Crisis." Angela said looking him over. A small yellow bird flew over and landed on Bastion's shoulder. It chirped something at Bastion and he beeped to R7. R7 beeped what he said and I understood.
"Bastion here, is fascinated with nature. Ganymede discovered him and reactivated Bastion. He was fascinated with Ganymede and wanted to know more about life." I translated. Bastion nodded at what I said. I smiled and walked over to Bastion.
"I know you're scared, but do you want to go with us?" I asked Bastion. "I can clean you up and give you a tune up." I offered. I leaned in close next to him and whispered. "Besides, Angela here is a neat freak. She will go berserk if she saw mud being tracked in." Angela must've heard me and smacked my arm. I smiled and looked at Bastion.
"So, what'd you say? I could make a small house for your friend." I offered. He looked at Ganymede and then nodded back at me. I smiled and helped direct him to the dropship.
-Hana's POV-
I looked at Angela and Lena with a confused look. R7 rolled along with Kanian and Bastion and started 'talking' with Bastion and Ganymede. "I guess he has a rather strong bond with machines." Angela said.
"But friends with a killing machine from the Crisis. That's gonna scare Winston." Lena said. I agreed with Lena and hesitated. I fought Omnics in South Korea, but this was a Bastion-Unit. It could configure into a tank and sentry to mow down enemies. They were a force to be reckoned with. I shuddered and remembered almost being mowed down by one until Reinhardt saved me.
I shook the thought and walked with Kanian to the ship. We were all aboard as Lena went to the cockpit and turned on autopilot to fly us back to base. We all walked back into the hangar and looked as Kanian and Bastion laughed and talked. He also seemed to be cleaning his back, which produced a giant Gatling gun. He continued to clean off the dirt but left the nest for the bird. He smiled and put an arm around him.
Kanian went into the cockpit to sleep for a bit. I looked at Bastion and saw it look at me. I shuddered and looked away. I heard gruff footsteps and saw Bastion standing in front of me with his head tilted. I shivered in fear. I didn't know what he was going to do. Bastion moved his arm and wrapped it around me. He was hugging me.
He beeped and whirred and R7 translated. "He's saying don't be scared, he likes you." I heard Kanian say from the cockpit. I looked and saw Bastion nodding. He patted my head and walked over and looked out the window at the clouds. I shook my fear away and walked over to Bastion. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him. Bastion looked down and beeped. I smiled at him. I understood what he said.
I walked to the cockpit and sat next to Kanian. "See, he's harmless." He said smiling. I looked back at Bastion and saw him, Ganymede, and R7 beeping and having a conversation. "I guess R7 is happy to have a friend to talk to instead of you." I teased. He looked at me and smiled. "Well, I'd better call Winston and tell him of our new recruit." He said leaning to activated the comms.
"Winston, we found a new recruit." He said. "Who is it?" Winston's gruff voice sounded. "He's a Bastion. But don't worry, he is harmless." Kanian said. I heard Winston gasp and sighed. "Ok, I am trusting your judgement Kanian." He said. "Ok, ETA back to base, 5 minutes." He replied. "Get some rest Hana." Kanian said. I was about to protest until I felt my eyes close.
-Kanian's POV-
I smiled at Hana's sleeping form and saw the ship guide our way back to the hangar. We landed and saw the bay doors open with Winston waiting for us. I picked up Hana and kicked Lena's leg. She jolted awake and saw she was sleeping on Angela. She went wide eyed and blinked out next to Winston. Bastion walked out along with R7 and Ganymede. Angela woke up and stretched. I carried Hana to our room and removed her suit with care and put her in pajamas and placed her on the bed. I pulled the covers over her and kissed her forehead. I walked out and turned off the light and regrouped with Winston and the rest.
"Well, he is harmless, but I want to run some tests to make sure." Winston said. "Nothing to excessive Winston. He's practically a little kid in an adult's body." I said defensively. Winston nodded at me led Bastion to his lab to run some tests. After they were gone, it was me, Lena, R7 and Angela alone. "Seems kind of empty, don't ya think?" I asked. "Yeah, most of the agents that got the recall either didn't answer or just think it's a hoax." Angela replied. I nodded and sat on the couch. I turned on the TV to the news and saw coverage of a man walking out of a warehouse holding a large rifle.
"The man, now known as Soldier 76, is still at large. If anyone has any information on him. Please call this number." She said as a number appeared on the bottom of the screen. Angela studied the figure and sighed. "What is it Angela?" I asked.
"He seems, familiar." She said. "Like who?" I asked. I really should hit the history books of this world if I am ever going to figure out anything. "Our old Strike Commander, Jack Morrison. Before Overwatch was disbanded." She replied. I grabbed a data pad and researched on this 'Jack Morrison'. I read up on how him and some man named Gabriel Reyes were the founders of Overwatch. After the Crisis, the people began suspecting Overwatch of crimes after their HQ in Switzerland was destroyed. Both founders were presumed dead. I watched footage of Jack in action and saw footage of Soldier 76. Soldier 76 seemed to be an exact mirror of him. I sighed and placed the data pad back on the table.
-1:00 pm Kanian's POV-
After everyone went to sleep, I activated R7 and we sneaked our way to a jet and took off. I activated the scanners to find any activity of any pulse rifle and Helix rocket discharge. I got a hit in a town called Dorado. We arrived were the discharge was spotted. I jumped down and looked around. R7 flew down.
"R7, do a full sweep of the area, see if you can track this 'Soldier 76'." I said. The alley was bathed in a blue scanner. I looked and saw a destroyed truck and many bodies on the ground. Thankfully, they were unconscious. R7 beeped and I understood. "Trail's gone cold physically, but let's try on a different plane." I said and used the force to sense for Soldier 76. I got a hit in some warehouse and jumped back to the ship along with R7. I took manual control and flew to the warehouse. I cloaked the ship and jumped down.
"Stay with the ship R7. I have a feeling we'll need an escape." I said in my comms. I felt Soldier 76's presence still in the warehouse. Before I could head down, I saw a Talon dropship fly by and saw a man clad in black jump down along with several goons. I grabbed my lightsabers and rushed into the warehouse as I heard gunfire erupt.
"Give it up Jack, die already!" I heard a man yelled. "Not today Reyes." I heard a gruff voice replied. I jumped down and activated my sabers and started deflecting bullets to give 76 room to breathe. They stopped their shooting and looked at me.
"You, you are the man that caused Widowmaker to fail her assignment." The man in black growled. I smirked. "Wow, 10 on 1, that seems far. No matter, I can give you a chance to leave now and I might not hurt you." I said. The man in black gave a raspy laugh. "As if you can defeat us all." He taunted. I sighed and force pushed them all at the way. The man in black was the one to shake off his dizziness first. He growled and started to fire his shotguns at me. I deflected them with ease and looked at 76.
"There's a ship hovering just above the warehouse. There is a small droid in there to bring you back to our base." I said to him. "Oh yeah, and why should I believe you?" he said still firing his rifle. "I am with Overwatch. They are reforming and need more members." I replied. He looked at me and sighed. "Sorry kid, but I ain't joining your little entourage." "Well, it's either you stay here and die, or join up and help fight the good fight." I said. He looked at me and sighed. "Fine, but we need to stop this first." He said. I dashed forward and started to slice all the goons in half and stabbed both lightsabers in the man in black's shoulders.
"I've killed Stormtroopers. I am not afraid to take another life." I threatened him. He growled at me and disappeared in mist and was gone. "Damn it." I cursed under my breath. Soldier 76 walked over to me and put a hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry, Reaper will be back." He reassured me. I nodded and looked at him.
"Well, you got a lot of explaining to Angela, Jack." I said. He looked at me with surprise. "I know it's you, I saw the footage of Jack and Soldier 76 and deduced it was you." I explained. He chuckled and removed his mask to show a battle scarred face. "Yeah I do. But not now. I need some time." He said. I nodded and we walked to the roof where R7 was waiting for us.
"So, who are you?" Jack asked. "I am Kanian Stark, I am a Jedi Knight from a different universe. I was brought here by flying through a black hole and crash landing at your Watchpoint in Gibraltar." I said. "And this little ass, is R7. He's my droid and best friend." I said kneeling next to R7 who smacked me over the head. "Ow, you fucker." I teased and rubbed his head. I walked into the cockpit and started to fly us back to Gibraltar.
We landed back in the hangar and was presented with a very angry Winston and Angela. "Kanian, it's 3:30 in the morning. Why did you take the jet?" Winston said angrily. Me and R7 walked out, followed by Jack. "Well, I was busy saving this old fart from a Talon attack." I explained. They dropped their glares and looked at him intently.
"Well, welcome to Overwatch, Soldier 76." Winston said shaking his hand. "Yeah, great to be here." He said nodding. "Well, you already know Kanian, this is Doctor Angela Ziegler. The medic of our team. I am Winston, the current leader of our small family." Winston said smiling. "It's good to meet you, but I am tired. Where are the rooms?" He asked. "Follow me, I'll take you there." I said and we left.
"Thank you." Jack said. "For what?" I asked. "For not giving away my identity. I just need some time to get my story right." He said. I stopped and looked at him. "Just tell her the truth. I'm sure she'll forgive you. But not without scolding you." I said. He nodded and opened a door to an empty room. "Thank you, Kanian." He said finally before entering his room and closing the door.
"You're welcome 76." I said and walked to my room. I opened the door to my room and saw Hana was up. She was in front of a computer playing some game while talking to the computer with a headset on. The lights were off. I flicked them on and saw Hana freeze. She was dressed in one of my shirts and wearing panties with slippers.
"Didn't I say to get some rest?" I asked. She looked over at me and smiled. "Well, I wasn't tired as I woke up around 10. Besides, where were you?" she demanded. "You got me there." I chuckled and walked over. "Whatcha' doing?" I asked and looked at the computer. She was playing a game and on the other computer, a chat was seen blowing up with questions. 'Who's the hunk?' 'Is Dva dating a fan?' 'Damn, he's cute.' I looked at Hana with confusion. "Well, I am a famous gamer." She said looking down in embarrassment. I looked her and smiled. I kissed her forehead and took my armor off and place it in the corner. I looked and saw the chat explode again.
"Guys, yes, this is my boyfriend. Come say hello!" she said waving me over. I walked over hunched next to Hana. "Uh hi, my name's Kanian Stark. Nice to meet you." I said awkwardly. I saw the chat explode again. 'I ship them.' 'You too are cute together.' 'Aw, lucky' the compliments kept coming. I smiled and thanked them.
"Well, I am tired. You sure you don't want to go back to sleep?" I asked Hana. "After this round." She said. After a few minutes, she said goodbye to her stream and shut it off. She stretched and yawned. I was already in bed as she crawled in and placed on hand under me and placed the other on my stomach and laid her head on my chest and started to snore away. I chuckled lightly and took off her headphones and placed them on the nightstand and turned off the lights. I placed my head on Hana's and felt sleep overwhelm me.
