"Vivian?" I hear Mei's voice come through the darkness. "Oh don't tell me you're dead..."

"She better not be dead!" I hear the voice of the skinny man, slightly clearer than Mei's. "The bounty on her head is pretty high!"

"What..?" I went as my eyes finally drifted open. I looked to my left to find the skinny man, Junkrat, grinning at me. This made me jump back, or at least try to do so. I was tied to Mei with a chain. "Huh?" I went still dazed.

Junkrat chuckled a bit before walking off. Me and Mei were now alone in some small room.

"Vivian I'm so sorry..." Mei said and I tried to glance back at her.

"It's not you fault."

"If I hadn't put the ice wall up-"

"Look that doesn't matter." I said as I looked around, frowning at the crack in the left lens of my glasses. Every part of me hurt, a rare occurrence, given that I often don't feel pain from even gun shots. "What's going on?"

"Well those two fools seem to think they can turn us into the U.N. and make some money..." She said and I could tell she was trying to get us free of the chain.

"Are they not wanted criminals themselves?"

"That's what I thought. If anything this whole thing will backfire and we'll all be in the U.N.'s clutches."

I laughed, making Mei pause in confusion. "Okay I'm confused."

"It's just strange how much we're making the U.N. seem like the villains..."

"They're trying to kill us."

"They're trying to make us face criminal charges. Yes they have considered taking a few libraries in their power but over all, that's what intention is on the surface." While I talked, Mei continued to attempt an escape.

"Are you going to help?"

"You want me to break the chain?"

"You've got beyond human strength."

"Alright." I said and I proceeded to try to break the chain. I stopped when I noticed sparks jumping to the chain. "Well shit."

"You can't break it?"

"Not without electrocuting you. Apparently I've got some cut wires." I sighed as the damage appeared on my interface in an unstable image. I am not in good shape at all...

"How bad?"

"Not horrible but not good." I said as I left the dying interface shut off.

The door to the small room we were in burst open and Junkrat walked through.

"Now Mei..." He said and I could feel her tense. "You must be warm in that parka."

"I'm fine." She said with a hard tone to her voice.

"Are you sure?" He said as he walked closer. "Mei-be you'll feel better."

I chuckled before Mei jabbed my side with her elbow. She let out a pained noise and I laughed a bit harder.

"What ever the hell I'm made out of is blast proof." I stated and I could see the look in Junkrat's eyes change.

"Would you like to test that, bot?" He asked as he took a step closer to me.

"Bot? Don't tell me you think I'm an Omnic?"

"You sure look like one."

"Why my dear Rat, I am more like you than you think, in fact, I have more in common with you than I do Mei." He gave me a very confused look as I went on. "Now just like you're missing and arm and a leg, I am too. Only my arms and legs are hunks of torn flesh and bone that can never heal."
