Y/N's Pov

For the past week, people from around Overwatch had been talking about Christmas Endlessly. Predicting what they would get, most of which are fantasies. Later on, I realized they were being sarcastic. How dumb of me. I even tried to fit in with the group around me by asking them what they were going to do over the holidays. Some of which are nice enough to continue the conversation including me in. Mccree would often bring me into these group conversations when it was appropriate. Mccree and I are close, despite that we have similar lifestyle in gang style life, nothing more. Which I feel pleased for someone to understand other than Genji.

Blackwatch had been laid off from missions since Christmas was close by. Christmas must of been a real special holiday worth spending. Since it was Christmas Eve already, the main founders and the rest of the members gathered around for the wonderful event. Surprisingly, Genji and I didn't sit together. He sat with Angela Ziegler alongside her is Fareeha. I sat mainly with Ana and Morrison who alongside him was Reyes. Mccree later came in to sit by me as the group settled in. Reinhartz was the one to announce the presents to everyone, but before that. He given a speech.

"I'm glad you all could get here safely from the hard Switzerland cold."

"Hey!",shouted Ziegler.

"Sorry.",He continued,"but anyway, before the night could begin, I would want to say thank you all to approve on this Christmas night together like we always did in the past few years. Our group has increased in size in such short notice. Shall we welcome Genji and Y/N to the team as our own."

The whole group clapped, Reyes of course gave a sly smirk. I only bowed my head multiple times before looking at Rein.

"Oh? Out of all things, where's Winston?",he asked.

"He's not here?",asked Fareeha.

The sound of the sliding the door caught everyone's attention as Winston walked in with a young woman in A full overwatch trainee suit. She had an object worn over her. Was she-

"Hey guys, meet Lena Oxton."

"Hiya!",she waved.

"You got her back, impressive.",said Ana.

"It took me a year, don't blame me. It was all my doing.",said Winston proudly.

"Well, let us welcome Lena!"

Everyone clapped once again. Soon taking their seats. Looking at the clock, I noticed it was time, I wonder if the old man even notices.

"It's time!"

'You're late.'

Everyone hyped up in joy as they got adjusted. Seating themselves back as they were before the night even started.

"Okay. . . Where shall we start?"

Reinhartz looked through the presents under the gigantic tree that Reinhartz and Morrison help put up.

"Let's start with the small ones, shall we?"

Rein started with the one ones, the size of a box.
