My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to go right out of my chest. I was scared. I tried my absolutely best to breathe as quietly as possible. I carefully crawled over to the window, my body perched against the floor as I poked my head up ever so slightly to look out the glass window that over looked the second floor.

Winston had already left to go and deal with our unwelcomed guests. I saw spikes of red lights, and one by one, Talon agents moved into the workshop. They carried black machine guns with scopes on the top that were equipped with red lasers to help target their prey. They wore all black, and had strange skull like masks with red glowing eyes.

I gulped nervously at their sight. They just looked so terrifying to me.

As they all huddled near each other, looking around the room, something dropped from the ceiling. They all reacted quickly, pointing their lasers at the object that landed in front of them.

A banana peel.

With their guard down, Winston saw his chance and from above, came soaring down and tackled them all beneath his feet, roaring. He grabbed one by the leg and sent him flying to the side before grabbing another by his helmet and slammed him to the floor, all the while as he got in another agents face, roaring his gorilla breathe all over him.

"Come on Winston, you got this!" I whispered to myself.

The Talon agents began to open fire on the gorilla. With his armour on to protect him, Winston grabbed the agent in front of him, tossing him against a wall before summer salting in between two more agents as he sprang up and smashed the two against each other with his hands like a sandwich, tossing them to the floor.  

I fist pumped silently, cheering Winston on for his victory.

But I may have spoken too soon. Right after that, a patch of black smoke came flying into the room, almost like it had a mind of its own. I covered my mouth with my hand to stop my quiet cheers as I watched the smoke fly up towards another catwalk on the other side of the room, and I tried my absolute hardest not to scream when I saw the smoke take the form of a masculine figure.

He was dressed in black like the other agents, only he wore different attire. He wore a long black trench coat with a hood over his head, a white skull mask that covered his face, black bullet proof armour, and leather boots.

The sound of his dark laughter sent a chill down my spine. Now I was suddenly even more terrified than ever, more so for Winston as it looked like he would have to fight him.  

Winston snarled at the leader of the Talon agents and just as he leaped up in the air to attack him, one of the fallen agents sprang up, firing a pair tasers at the gorilla and striking him. I forced myself to hold back a shrill of a scream, using both of my hands to cover my mouth as I helpless watched Winston collapse to the floor as more agents stood up to their feet and used their own tasers against him.

"No, no, no, no, no!" I mumbled quickly, my heart pounding even harder than before. 

I was so distracted by Winston's cries, I almost didn't notice the Talon leader enter the command center. I quickly huddled myself in the corner, pulling my knees up to my chest as I desperately tried to not make a sound.

I watched as the man slapped some sort of device into the computer hard drive, red sparks of electricity coursing through it as I looked over at the computer screens, the original feed fizzling out of existence as a download bar appeared along with an endless cycle of the computers files and information.

"Security protocols failing," said Athena. "Winston, Reaper is extracting the Overwatch Agent Database!"

So that's what his name was... Reaper. And he was doing what?!

If he got his hands on that database, he could use it to track and locate the other agents and try to take them out just like he was doing right now with Winston!

My mind began to race as I looked between Reaper and Winston. I knew Winston told me to stay put for my own safety, but I couldn't just sit around and do nothing! There just had to be something I could do to help!

As if the universe was on my side, I heard a loud 'THUD' and looked back out through the window to see that one of the Talon agents had slipped on Winston's banana peel, dropping his taser weapon. Winston laughed at the sight before letting his rage go, his eyes sparkling a terrifying, electrical yellow as his armour and fur turned red.

Yellow electrical surges coursed through his body as he grabbed the taser wires and began spinning the talon agents around in circles like they were on the worlds fastest merry-go-round.

One of the agents actually let go and came soaring towards the window! I pushed my back against the wall, shielding myself as I braced for the impact. The agent smashed through the window, crashing right into a side table as he knocked over a few books before collapsing to floor in front of me.

"Agent Extraction at 32%." spoke Athena.

I froze, looking up over at Reaper. He glanced over in the direction of the agent. I held my breath, praying that he didn't see me. With a heavy sigh, he tilted his head to the side, cracking his neck before he turned around and the body half of his body turned into the black cloud as he literally hovered through the window and back towards the first floor.

I saw this as my chance, crawling out from under the table, I ran over to the main computer. "Athena, talk to me here!"

"Agent Extraction at 50%."

I cracked my knuckles before typing away at the keyboard, slamming my finger tips onto the touch screen as my eyes frantically searched the monitor for any signs of retaliation against the virus Reaper injected into Athena.   

"Ugh, none of my firewalls are working!" I hissed, slamming my fist on the keyboard.

Before I could do anything else, the sound of gun fire filled my ear, echoing across the room. I immediately zipped around and ran for the hole in the window, looking through it to see Reaper shooting down Winston with a pair of pistols. When the gorilla was on the floor, Reaper made one more shot, instead aiming his weapon up in the air and firing a bullet that broke free a metal capsule from a chain that was attached to the ceiling.

The capsule came crashing down as Winston braced for the impact, shielding himself as he didn't have enough time to get out of the way. It smacked right into him, messing with his vision.

I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry out to him, I wanted to do something! But what good help would I be to Winston if I was dead! There just had to be something I could do!

Somehow, in someway, Athena could sense this as she began to call out to Winston as he began to stir. Reaper stalked towards the gorilla as I ran back to the computer hard drive, desperately trying to pull the strange device out. This was what Reaper was after right? He wanted the location of all of the other agents. But the stupid thing was locked in tight! It wouldn't even budge.

"Winston! He's going to have all agents locations!" Athena exclaimed.

"I'll be sure to send them your regards, monkey," Reaper spoke.

Winston scoffed. "I'm not a monkey---"

Suddenly the sound of the failing shield generator caught my attention as I moved away from the hard drive and made my way back to the window. The failed signs were going off as Reaper laughed at the sight.

When I realized what Winston was up to, my lips formed into a smirk as I glanced over at the Talon leader. "Oh, you are so in for it." I muttered.

"I'm a scientist!" Winston proclaimed.

The shield generator went off, sending Reaper flying across the room and smacking right into the work shop table. Winston summer salted forward, grabbing a weapon with his feet as he began to charge it. As Reaper got up to his feet, Winston let him have it, firing at the man with his famous Tesla Cannon.

Reaper cried out from the pain as the electrical energy coursed through his body and evaporated him! The man exploded in a pile of dust, raining down on the floor as his weapons collapsed. I cheered Winston on as the gorilla pounded his chest with victory, snorting at Reaper's ashes.

"Extraction... 90%."

Athena's voice sounded slow and degrading right about now...

I gasped, the realization hitting me like a ton of bricks. "Athena!"

I turned tail and ran back to the computer, desperately trying my firewall protocols again. I heard Winston come in, climbing up through the hole in the window. He grabbed onto the device Reaper plugged into the hard drive and pulled it out with ease, crushing it with his fist.

"Extraction... 98%."

"My fire walls still aren't working," I hissed nervously.

Winston quickly rushed over to my side, typing away at another keyboard as well. "Hang on, Athena!"

The screens suddenly fizzled and powered off, displaying nothing but a pitch black darkness as Winston and I's reflection could be seen on the glass of the screen.

"No!" I cried, my eyes widening.

"Athena?" Winston called. He frantically looked at all of the monitors, searching for any signs of response. "A-A-Athena?!"

I covered my mouth with my hands, hoping, praying some miracle would happen. Please be okay, Athena! Please, please, please!

Suddenly a blue blip appeared at the top left corner of the main screen. It blinked a few times before Athena's logo reappeared on the screen.

"Virus averted." She spoke.

I breathed a huge sigh of relief as I slouched in Winston's tire chair. Now that was seriously intense! Talon agents storming the place, hiding under a table and praying to GOD that I don't make a single noise and get caught, watching Winston fight and almost die, and exposing all of the Overwatch agents in one night?! No wonder I was feeling so hot and stressed, I was sweating like a mad woman!

"That was way too close," I spoke, rubbing my eyelids.

"Agreed," Winston replied as he bent down, picking up his glasses from the floor.

"I'm restoring all information and databases now," said Athena as the screens came back to life, charts, maps, and schematics filling the screens.

As I took the time to compose and calm myself down, a new image flashing up on the main screen caught my attention.

"Initiate Overwatch Recall?"

Winston noticed this as well, his eyes never tearing away from the screen.

"They might be danger," I spoke up suddenly. "Reaper may be gone, but what if more of those Talon agents come back?" I glanced over at the agent who was knocked out by the table I was hiding under. "They could go after them. You have to warn them."

Winston stood there silently as he looked between the image and his glasses. I slowly stood up from the tire seat, looking over at him with pleading eyes.

"Winston, with guys like that still out there... the world needs Overwatch. More than ever."

With his eyes narrowed, Winston slipped his glasses back on. "Hope, a man once told me to never accept the world as it appears to be. To dare to see it for what it could be."

Curiously, I stepped closer to the gorilla as we both looked at the holographic image. He gently raised his hand and tapped the "Y" button on the screen.

The image vanished and was replaced with a 3-D holopgraphic image of the Earth. One by one points popped up from all over the world. I gasped at the sight, a smile appearing on my face. They were the locations of all of the Overwatch agents!

"Establishing agent connections." said Athena.

I glanced at the main computer screen behind it, seeing the profiles of Overwatch agents pop up on the screen. First there was Genji, then Reinhardt, Mercy, Torbjorn, McCree, and then the profiles were coming up so fast it was hard to keep track of them all. Finally after cycling through them all, the final profile appeared on the screen and I gasped at the image. It was a image of a 26 year old woman with short brown hair, blue eyes,  a pair of earrings on her left ear, and wore orange googles with a brown leather jacket.

It was Tracer.

As the computer was going over the profiles of the Agents, Winston had stepped over to the side to put on his jetpack armour. I had to admit, he looked pretty darn cool.

"Dang Winston!" I stared in awe.

A pop up appeared on the screen reading "Active Call".

"Winston, is that you love?" A voice spoke through the speaker.

My mouth gaped open, nearly dropping to the floor as I looked over at Winston, pointing at the monitor. "Is that who I think it is?"

Winston chuckled at my reaction before looking over at the screen. "Hello Tracer."

"Oh-ho! It's been too long!" Tracer exclaimed.

"Yes," Winston smiled as he adjusted his glasses. "Yes it has."

"Is there someone else there with you?" Tracer asked. "Who's your friend?"

I looked over at Winston who motioned for me to go on a head. I gulped, chuckling nervously as I rubbed the back of my neck. "Um, hi. My name is Hope. Hope Ivery."

"Pleasure to meet'cha Hope," Tracer greeted. "How do you know Winston?"

"She's a recent hire of mine," Winston explained. "She's been helping me around in my facility."

"So what's the 411 big guy?" Tracer questioned. "Is it time to get the gang back together?"
