Chapter 10
~Two years after Overwatch's Renewal~
Kanian bumped from a pothole the bus hit. Why a bus? Even though Overwatch was still his job, Jack told him to go out and get an actual job. Kanian did work at a restaurant during the time of the Order, so this should be easy.
"You're 5 minutes late. I don't care if you're a hero. Don't think you'll be getting any special treatment. The floors need mopping, after that you can start on the dishes." The old owner snapped.
"Yes sir." Kanian replied grabbing a mop and bucket. He had on the most ridiculous uniform. He had on a blue and white striped down shirt with a pair of white pants, a belt, and an apron with his nametag. He sighed and wished he never took Jack's advice.
"Are you deaf? Get your ass to work. You're on the clock." The man snapped before going back to his room.
"Sir, yes sir." Kanian said rolling his eyes. 'Why have you forsaken me?' He pleaded to the heavens. He pulled out the mop and began to make strides in cleaning the sticky floor of the old run down restaurant. He heard the door open and perked his head to see Hana walk in with his lunch.
"Well hello there, I would love a boy toy to go." She said wiggling her eyebrows at him. He sighed and smiled at her.
"Sorry, boss wants me to wash the floor and do the dishes. I don't think I'll be home until 7:00." He replied. Hana crossed her arms and pouted.
"I'll have some words with your boss." She said stomping towards the manager's door. Kanian laughed and used the Force to pull her back to him. She yelped as she became weightless.
"Kanian!" She squealed. He laughed lightly as she came back down to him with her arms crossed and a pout on her face. He grasped her chin with his hand and kissed her. Hana reluctantly leaned in and returned the kiss.
"You can't be doing that on me. It's not fair." She said smiling at him. "In due time little one." He replied. "What? You can't call me 'little'! We're the same age!" She retorted. He looked her in the eyes and smiled warmly at her.
"What? Is there something on my face?" She asked pulling out her phone. Kanian grabbed her phone and placed it in his pocket.
"Yeah, just how beautiful you are." He replied kissing her cheek. He saw her face flush red before dying down. "After we first met, you still make me feel like some high school girl." She said with a grin.
"When's you're break?" She asked. "Should be-" He was cut off by the old man coming out. "What the hell did I say? You're on the clock!" He yelled at Kanian.
"Sorry Mr. Elliot." He replied before returning to cleaning the floor. Hana looked at the old man and walked up to him.
"What do you want?" He scowled. "My boyfriend has been working here for the past two years, yet you still treat him like shit you old geezer." She spat. Kanian perked up with a worried look. He quickly walked over to Hana's side and brought her away from the fuming old man.
"Forgive her sir, please." Kanian said. Mr. Elliot just stood there and scowled. "Kanian, I want your nametag and apron. Now!" He yelled. Kanian held his head down and removed his nametag and apron and returned them to the owner.
"Your paycheck will be sent to your HQ." He said opening the door for the two. "Please sir, just give me a chance!" Kanian begged the old man. Mr. Elliot shook his head and pointed outwards. He sighed and walked outside to the hot summer air as the door slammed shut behind them.
"Well, I know I'm not going back. The food tastes like shit anyway." Kanian said with a smile. "I don't know, you seemed very happy to be working there." Hana said. "You're right, I did enjoy being normal." He replied. Hana smiled at him.
"Well, time to go back to our regularly, schedule, broadcast of Overwatch Now." She said putting on a TV announcer's voice. Kanian giggled lightly at his girlfriend. "You having a giggle there?" Hana asked placing her hands on her hips. Kanian stared into her brown orbs as she waited for his response. He leaned forward and planted a kiss on her forehead.
"Oh." She yelped lightly as Kanian continued to walk towards the park and sat at a bench. Hana looked to find a hotdog stand and bought two of them. Back with Kanian, a group of girls came over and waved hi to him.
"Hi hero~" The middle one cooed. Kanian looked at her and sighed. "Taken, sorry." He said to them. The middle girl strutted over and laid on his lap.
"Oh, what's a strapping, young, hero like yourself doing in the middle of a park by himself?" She asked. Kanian shifted in his seat to get her off. "Ma'am, please get off of me." He said loudly. "Aww, don't get restless. I only want to have some fun~" She said grazing her chest on his.
"I think he asked you to get off." Hana said standing in front of the three girls. The middle one looked at her and flipped her the finger.
"You can have him when I get done little girl." She spat glaring daggers at the gamer. Hana walked over to the bench and placed the two hotdogs next to Kanian and crossed her arms.
"I'm going to ask you, one last time, get off of him." Hana said sternly. The woman got up and towered over the small Korean.
"And what are you going to do?" She hissed. Hana just exhaled slightly and with lighting speed, she clocked the taller woman in the mouth. She fell down to the ground and held her cheek.
"Now, are you going to leave?" Hana asked politely. The woman shook off her dazed and glared at Hana.
"I don't know who you think you are, but you are going to get your ass handed to you." She yelled throwing a punch that Hana easily caught.
"Yeah, forgot to introduce myself. The names Dva little girl. Now if you don't step off my man, I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson." She said leaning into her face more. The woman, realizing who this girl was, backed off and ran away with her friends. Hana giggled as she tripped over herself running away. She looked back to Kanian as he had a red blush covering his face out of embarrassment.
"What?" Hana asked picking up the hotdogs and handing one to him as she sat down next to him. "Just glad I have my own personal hero." He said resting his head on her shoulder. "Aw, I'm glad to have been your hero." She said taking a bite out of her hotdog. After the couple finished their snack, an explosion was heard.
"Can't even enjoy the rest of the day after I got fired." Kanian mumbled. They deposited their trash in a bin and took off their clothes to show off their armor and weapons. Everyone in the park watched in awe.
"Care for a lift?" Kanian asked crouching for Hana to get on. "Why thank you, now let's get to it!" She said with a smile. Kanian ran and leapt from the ground and landed on a nearby building. He continued until he reached the source of the explosion. Kanian saw Talon thugs robbing a facility that held something of importance.
"Come on." Hana said still clutching onto Kanian's back. The Jedi jumped down and landed in front of the villainous act that was still going on.
"Seriously, Overwatch is back and you guys are still being little fucking thieves?" Kanian asked aloud making the nearby grunt freeze and look up.
"I don't even know these guys, they gave me this uniform and forced me into this." He said taking off the helmet and darting away.
"Now, are you going to the right decision and leave like he did, or are we going to do this the hard way?" Kanian asked pulling out his lightsabers and activating them. The green and blue blades shone with such ferocity and calmness.
"Feh, it's just the puny Jedi and his bitch. We can take them." The leader of the entourage scowled. He aimed his weapon and fired at the two agents. Kanian just deflected the bullets, or melted whichever you prefer, and sighed.
"We've been through this, can you just accept defeat and surrender?" Kanian asked still deflecting the bullets. "I don't think they want to surrender hon." Hana said behind him. "I think you might be right. Hard way it is." He said before dashing forward and slicing the leader's gun and gave him a glare.
Unfazed, the leader headbutted Kanian and pulled out his pistol and fired at him. Kanian kicked the gun out of his hand and hovered the green blade in front of the leader's throat.
"Look, I've kind of hand enough of killing you seemingly endless grunts. Can you just do the logical decision and surrender?" Kanian asked. The leader hesitated before nodding. "See? Was that so hard, and because of this, I'll ask to have a lenience on your sentences. Sound fair?" He asked the remaining grunts. They nodded and disarmed themselves as the police arrived and arrested them.
"Nice work Kanian. Usually you'd be slicing them down one by one." Hana said elbowing him. Kanian chuckled. "I guess those two years taught me to suppress my anger and showed me happiness these last two years." He said.
"Oh, I almost forgot, happy birthday!" She said giving him a kiss. Kanian parted his lips and gave her a questioning stare.
"Your birthday, July 23? Don't tell me you forgot." Hana said crossing her arms. "Thanks to you, I almost did." He replied pulling her in close.
"Well, consider this your last birthday." A familiar French voice sounded. Kanian turned just as Widowmaker appeared and aimed her rifle at Hana's head.
"One move, and this one dies." She purred. "Seriously Widow?" Kanian asked as the police surrounded her with pistols raised.
"You're either foolish or brave. Have you not noticed the dozens of police cars? Are you getting dense these past years?" Hana asked suppressing a chuckle.
Widowmaker cursed in French and dropped a smoke bomb that covered her escape as she grappled away.
"You're not getting away that easily." Kanian said jumping after her. "What about me!?" Hana yelled. Kanian was focused on bring her to justice. He watched as the Widow jumped from rooftop to rooftop, trying her best to avoid the Jedi.
Kanian took a step back and launched forward until he appeared in front of her. He tripped the purple assassin and kicked her gun away. He pulled off her glove that held the Venom Mines she always brought along.
"Are you done? You're beaten." He stated. She chuckled which made Kanian give a confused looked. He heard the undeniable raspy laugh of Reaper.
"Edgelord is behind me. Isn't he?" He asked turned to see a shotgun aimed at his skull. "No, the Grim Reaper is here to collect a soul." Reaper said. Kanian sighed and cleared his throat.
"Okay, now before I arrest you, can I ask you a question?" Kanian asked him. Reaper had a confused look on his face.
"Where do you keep getting those guns? Like do you have some kind of portal where there are infinite guns you have stored?" He asked. Reaper shook off his moment of confusion and dug the gun further onto his face.
"Shut it. Now, die." He said before Kanian used the Force to throw the two off balance and throw Reaper's guns away.
"Seriously, we've through this before. I gain the upper hand, you try your best to kill me but ultimately fail. You then escape to fight another day." Kanian said bluntly.
"Seriously, this is boring. I might as well ask Tracer to take over. I know she likes to follow me and Hana. Isn't that right?" He called out. Seconds later, the familiar figure of Tracer appeared from behind a wall.
"Aw rubbish, how'd you know I was here?" She asked crossing her arms. "I can sense you, you know." Kanian replied. "Yeah, yeah, you and your magical 'Force'." She said making air quotations.
"It's a real thing, you're just too dense to learn about it. I have plenty of holo books in my room about it." Kanian said glaring daggers at the speedster. As the two were arguing, Widowmaker and Reaper tried to make their escape until the found themselves pinned to the wall by a piece of metal.
"I'm not done with you guys yet." He said looking back to Tracer and arguing some more. "Why don't you go stalk that Leon fellow. I know you've had a crush on him since he came here two years ago." Kanian retorted. "That is a different person, the one that came here was an actual speedster!" She yelled.
Widowmaker just sighed and watched as the two agents bickered back and forth. "Are you going to arrest us?" She called out. "IN A MINUTE!" The two yelled back. "Oh mon dieu." She said shaking her head.
Hana managed to climb to the top and navigate her way to see Reaper and Widowmaker against the wall held by a piece of metal and Lena and Kanian bickering.
"Really? Now you choose a time to bicker when you have two of the most dangerous terrorists trapped?" Hana yelled. Kanian turned to her and pouted.
"Tell the Brit here to stop following us." Kanian said crossing his arms. "I swear to god, you both are children." Hana said walking over to the pinned assassins.
"I apologize dearly for the way these two have been acting. Now, come along. There's two cells with your names on them." She said pulling on the metal beam.
"I've got it." Kanian said pulling the beam off the wall and holding Reaper so he didn't wraith away. Lena walked over and slapped cuffs on Widowmaker's hands.
"At least give me the safe word cherie." She whispered into Lena's ear. That made the Brit grow bright red and stop in her tracks. Hana sighed and pulled off her gloves and shoved it into Widowmaker's mouth.
"Are we done here?" She asked impatiently. "Y-yeah luv." Lena stuttered. Widowmaker chuckled lightly, despite the glove in her mouth.
"I want that back when we deposit you in your accommodations." Hana said to the Widow. She just laughed and continued to walk forward towards the ship Lena had used.
After getting the criminals locked into their cells, Hana looked at Kanian and Lena with a disapproving look.
"She started it." Kanian was the first to say. "You fuckin' arsehole, that is a complete bloody lie you wanker!" She fired back. The two began to argue back and forth until Hana stomped her foot.
"Okay, seriously, you're both adults. Kanian, you are a 21-year-old man, act like it. Lena, you're a 24-year-old girl. You both act like children, and I should know, I was the kid in Overwatch. Stop this senseless bickering and make up already." Hana yelled before sitting at the controls.
"Sorry for teasing ya luv." Lena said with an apologetic smile. "Yeah, I'm sorry too. Still best friends?" Kanian asked. "Of course silly, I just need to read up on this 'Force' that's all." She replied with a smile.
~Timeskip~
"I hope you love these. They were specifically designed for you two." Jack said. Reaper snarled as Widowmaker just sat on the bed and relaxed into the sheets.
Jack walked out and closed the door. He nodded to the trio before leaving. "Well, now what? I got no job anymore." Kanian said. Angela walked in with a small chocolate frosted cupcake with a single candle.
"We couldn't have a big fancy party, so we made you a cupcake in hoping that it will suffice." She said with a smile. "Thank you, Dr. Ziegler. You didn't have too." Kanian said. Angela chuckled and patted his shoulder.
"You don't have to sound so modest. Enjoy this cupcake. I've still plenty of work on studying those bacta bombs." She said giving the cupcake to Kanian and walking away. R7 rolled in and beeped happily at the sight of the young couple.
"Hi R7, how are you doing you bucket of bolts?" Kanian asked kneeling down. R7 beeped furiously and rolled over to Hana's side while purring, or whatever robots make.
"Fine, be a prick. I was only kidding." Kanian said crossing his arms smirking. Hana giggled as R7 moved his little robotic arms, waving them while beeping some very bad language that Bastion didn't need to hear.
"Oh don't say that R7, you'll scar poor Bastion." Kanian said placing an arm on the robot. Bastion looked between the two and left to visit Ganymede. R7 beeped at Kanian before rolling off after the robot. Kanian kicked his metallic butt before waving bye.
"Told you he was a pain in the ass." Kanian said with a smile. Winston lumbered in and nodded to Hana and Kanian. "Kanian, I would like to let you know, we managed to get your crashed ship out of the building and in a big garage. You can do what you wish with it." Winston said.
"Thank you Winston, I think I'll go and work on it." He replied walking away. Hana watched as the Jedi strutted out of the room and towards the garage holding his wrecked ship. "Is something on your mind Agent ?" Winston asked noticing her frown.
"What? Oh, nothing Winston. Just taking a stroll down memory lane I guess." She replied with a smile. She was not ok, she was worried. It had been two years since Kanian said he 'saw' this Darth Vader character. Kanian was so calm that he didn't even think about Vader or his old life. He must've had good reason to, he must've been holding in so much pain.
"Well, have a good afternoon." Winston said before walking off towards his lab. She sighed and walked to their room to stream.
"I don't even know if I want to stream. It would be better if Kanian was here." She said lightly before the door opened to their room. She twirled to see him walk in.
"Oh, hi Kanian." She said putting on a fake smile. "You're hiding something." Kanian said crossing her arms.
"What? No I'm not! You better not be reading my mind." She retorted turning her back to him.
"It's called a 'Jedi Mind Trick', and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know something is on your mind." He said walking to the bed. She sighed and walked over to him. She stared into his eyes and studied them.
"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked until she threw her arms over him and buried her face into his neck.
"Hey, hey, it's okay. If you don't feel like talking, then I understand." Kanian said holding the trembling Korean. Hana took a shaky breath before a single tear fell down her face. Kanian noticed this and lead her to the bed and laid her down. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close as she let loose a barrage of tears into his shirt.
"You're okay Hana, I'm not going anywhere." He whispered into her ear. She went ridged and looked him the eye while rubbing away her tears.
"I just keep thinking about what happened on that day. You said something about a 'Darth Vader'. I'm just scared he might come here and take you from me." She said leaning more into his chest. He smiled lightly and stroked her hair.
"Well, if he was real, we'll be ready." He said kissing her forehead. She looked at him and nodded lightly.
"I'm glad you're still here and not an illusion Kanian Stark." She said snuggling in more. "I'm glad you choose me, Hana Song." He replied as he heard he snore lightly. 'Maybe tomorrow, today has been very hectic.' Kanian thought before joining Hana in her slumber.
