Redemption From Resemblance (McHanzo)

Plan, Argue, Sneak (Not in That Order)

A/N: Just a quick note that I'm fully aware what I wrote isn't an accurate representation of what actually happens at shipyards. Apparently no one actually cares about timing but I decided to go with my scenario because it worked with the story.

Again, it's the future.

And this chapter kind of got away from me.

“You mean to tell me you don't know where they are?” Jack raised his voice slightly, not happy with the news he just received from Winston the moment he returned to base. Finding out that two operatives are out there without any way to contact them was not something he was expecting to come back to. Winston shakes his head, looking upset with himself.

 
“Not at the moment. I'm still searching with Athena's help.” Jack sighed and Genji decided it was his turn to ask.

 
“What exactly happened to my brother and Jesse?” Winston grabbed his data pad, pressing a few buttons as he started explaining.

 
“The mission I sent them on was to respond to an alarm at one of the old bases. It should have been shut down and inoperable. Jesse managed to contact me when they arrived saying that someone had restarted the base to hack into old files on alive members.” He then turned on the monitor, pulling up the audio files saved from Jesse's communicator.

 
“This was the last thing transmitted from their location.” Those in the room listened as McCree talked about deleting the files with Hanzo, some looking startled when they heard a gunshot. A few looks were shared and Jack felt himself stiffen when a faint distorted voice was picked up, insulting McCree and sounding amused. A few more words were said and the last thing to come through was static, leaving most on edge as to what happened.

 
“I lost contact with them three days ago and have been trying to find them since. I have yet to find a lead.” Winston couldn't help the defeated tone in his voice and Fareeha was soon adding in her information that she gathered from the audio, details the others already figured out but didn't say anything about out loud.

“It sounded like they were ambushed by Reaper, which also means that Talon was there. He must have somehow fried or jammed their communicators.” Hana huffed and popped her gum, trying hard not shout out that it was pretty obvious.

“So what are we going to do about it? Just wait and hope you find them?” Fareeha gave the girl a stern glare which only earned a roll of Hana's eyes as Winston spoke again.

 
“Unfortunately, yes. I've been trying to pinpoint their locations via satellite but it's proving rather difficult. Either they're constantly moving or are holed up in a building somewhere. I could try using the security cameras but that would require knowing where they currently are in the United States.” Mei just stared down at the floor, worried for her fellow teammates and hoping nothing bad had happened to them. She had already lost so much once already, she didn't want to go through the feeling of losing those precious to her again.

Jack simply refused to believe anything bad happened to them.

“Use the cameras. Start from where you sent them and go through all the footage you can. I want them found as soon as possible.” The knowledge that Reaper was the reason Winston lost contact with Hanzo and McCree made Jack's blood boil and nerves become overwhelmed. None of them were sure if the two were in the hands of Talon or if they were safe somewhere and Jack wanted to make sure quickly. He wasn't trying to make it seem like Winston needed to overwork himself just to find them, not since he had Athena to help, but the last thing Jack wanted was to find out Talon brainwashed two more members of his team. The sooner they were located, the better.
