Chapter Four

I sleep in the next day until 1:00 p.m. as I have nothing on my schedule until later today. It's nice to feel well rested for once. 

At 3:00, Overwatch heads to Rialto for our training program. Our battle simulator. It was developed by several genius scientists a couple years ago specifically for Overwatch agents. We train for our missions by going through a simulator and fighting other Overwatch agents. It always feels so real. You can feel everything that goes on as if it was real. Everything except for the pain of the wounds we inflict upon each other. Those are minimized to a small sting. Instead, we have health bars that determine where we're at physically when we get damaged. 

Today on my team, we end up with Winston, Orisa, me, Tracer, Lucio, and Ana. And the other team is Zarya, Hammond, Ashe, Symmetra, Baptiste, and Mercy. 

Oh shit. I just hope I can stay clear of Ashe's deadly aim. She's the opponent I'm most concerned about. Just because she was nice to me yesterday, I know it doesn't mean she'll go easy on me. Even if I wish that was the case. 

My team is on defense and the other team is on attack. The first minute of the match goes well and we hold the point well. thankfully Ashe seems focused on our other healers and not me. And it seems to be working as she finds a way to pick one of them off at the very start. She knows how to strategize, that's for sure. 

Symmetra comes at me attempting to throw up turrets behind me, but I airbed her turrets to reverse them so that they begin to laser her instead. She is quickly eliminated and sent back to her spawn. I look over just in time to see Lucio booping Hammond off a cliff. Nice one. 

Until Ashe sneaks up and shoots her coach gun, propelling him off the cliff too. Shit. We're down another healer. It's just me now... 

I look over to see Orisa backed up into a corner, trying to shake off Baptiste and getting closer to being eliminated. I quickly airbed over to her and knock Baptiste back with a large gust of wind, throwing him into Winston, who chases him down with his taser, eliminating him quickly and going back to help Tracer fight Zarya and Symmetra. 

I look around trying to monitor where Ashe is aiming. Uh oh. Where did she go?! 

I look up hearing a click of someone's boots just in time to seem her smirk as her bullet flies straight into my head. I grunt in surprise and throw up a barrier as Orisa shoots a few shots Ashe's way to try and ward her off.  But she is also busy trying to help fight the others, so I don't get much help here. 

I duck into a building to grab a med pack only to me met with a turret. I smash it with some earth and run to the med pack only to get flung backwards by Ashe's coach gun. Shit. She's gunning for me now. That's exactly what I was trying to avoid. 

I water bend her feet to freeze her in place while I duck behind a pillar to try and evade her, but she hucks a stick of dynamite near me and detonates it instantly, causing me to yelp in surprise as I go up in flames, quickly getting eliminated and sent back to spawn. 

Damn, I knew I couldn't take Ashe in a fight. But even with me gone, when I get back to the point, my team has managed to hold the point and we're now contesting overtime. 

I know that doing too much bending on too large of a scale will shred my strength, but I really want to win this one. So, following my impulses instead of any sort of common sense, I begin creating winds moving in a circular motion, speeding up more and more until I've created a miniature tornado and using it to haul the opposing team off of point so that they lose overtime. And it works! My team is declared victorious and Tracer blinks over to me, yelling excitedly and giving me a big hug. I hug her back timidly, not really used to the affection from other people.
