Coldest (An Overwatch Fanfiction)

Chapter 4 - Five months later

I was training with D.Va and Mei, who had become my close friends since Isla died, when Mercy glided in with a worried look on her face.

"What is it Mercy?" I asked.

"The rumours have expanded, they're no longer rumours. They're now on the news, Soldier 76 called a meeting with all of us. We all need to go right now." She hurriedly replied before flying back out.

"I'll take you guys out quickly!" D.Va chirped.

Mei and I hung on to her mech as she flew through the corridor, reaching the staircase. I hopped off, running up the stairs as fast as my legs could carry me. As I turned the corner I saw most of the Overwatch members gathering in front of Soldier 76 who was standing on a table with Ana and Mercy behind him.

"News of our workings have been released in the media. People in towns and cities are whispering about how corrupted we were." Ana started, making little quotations with the word corrupted.

"Sooner or later, governments from those towns and cities will be sending their politicians to tell us to bring Overwatch down." Mercy continued with a disapproving glance. I knew that she always preferred the peaceful way.

"Be prepared to pack up and leave to a secure area Winston and Symmetra have secured for us. Today we are going to explore the area before heading back here. Understood? We leave in five minutes." Soldier 76 dismissed us.

"What are we going to do? They're going to be asking for the fall of Overwatch again and if the government finds our secure area then it'll all be chaos." Genji fretted.

"It'll be alright Genji!" I hugged him. "We'll make sure they don't find us. Symmetra can make a teleporter that can teleport us to another destination if time comes."

He sighed heavily. "We should go start packing." 

I nodded before jumping off to get my duffel bag. I pulled down three copies of my normal outfit which I'd changed (A zip up, tight black shirt with holes in the shoulders. Black shorts with tights underneath and boots.) I got the hoodie that Winston had managed to make that'll protect me from the cold and underwear (of course). By that time, my duffel bag was mostly filled, so I filled the rest with gadgets. I packed my laptop, charger cables and my phone before zipping it up. I stuffed the pockets with food supplies, water and bullets (including an extra gun). 

I finished packing, just as Mercy opened my door to call me to check out the secure area. I followed her through the teleporter Symmetra had set up in a hidden area. She would keep that open so that when the time comes, we could flee without waiting for her to do wavy hand movements to set the teleporter up.

I stepped through, gasping at the dip in the temperature. "Why is it so cold?"

"It is in Siberia, Russia. Madam Volskaya helped with this, I knew she would never betray our trust." Zarya nodded approvingly, running her hands over the titanium walls.

"Alright." Ana's voice rose commandingly over ours. "My daughter shall lead the girls to the door over there." She pointed. "Reinhardt can bring the boys to the door next to it."

I took a good look at the base. There were three tables, with holograms of Gibralter, the world and the area each on one situated around the room with chairs dotted. There were two doors to the left next to the short corridor where the teleporter was kept. The bathrooms were to the right, one for girls and one for boys. A large door stood to the opposite wall from the left, closed tight. Out of the windows situated on the wall opposite the bathrooms I saw snow, a lot of it, flurrying down.

"What do you suppose we're going to do about food?" I whispered to Mei.

She shrugged. "They must have some backup robots here, not Omnics. They clean and cook in the old base so I can only imagine they'll do the same here."

We walked in to the girls' room and I found the walls were the same, blue-gray metal colour. There were three white bunk beds with white sheets and pillows ready to be set up. There were two beds at the head of the room which I could only imagine were Ana's and Mercy's. Pharah occupied a bunk with Zarya whilst D.Va occupied one with Mei. Symmetra and Tracer took the last which left me to heave a bed in to occupy the last space. There were gaps underneath the beds, able for us to put our stuff underneath. I wrote my name on my bed with marker before heading back out with Tracer. After a tour we headed back to the base, as Soldier 76 called Volskaya. I was making some lemon tea, taking the nacho chips they served with a bowl of hummus, a bowl of almonds on the side and a banana when I overheard their conversation.

"What are the politicians doing?" Soldier 76 asked.

"They're going to make their move soon, earliest is by next week. Be prepared." Volskaya replied, before hanging up.

I quickly ate my food, sipping at my lemon tea as I looked around the room feeling sleepy. I decided to go outside with my tea. I sat, leaning against a wall looking over Gibralter when I heard Genji behind me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, shifting slightly.

"I could ask you the same thing." He replied, a smile in his voice as he sat down with me.

I sighed. "I'm taking the most of Gibralter as I can before those politicians kick us out." I leaned my head on his shoulder.

Genji put his arm around me. "I saw you going out and I was wondering if anything was wrong."

"I'm wondering who is spreading those rumours. I have a hunch but it can't be right." I shook my head.

"You don't have to figure it out." He soothed, rubbing my shoulder. "We'll find it and kill it off."

I sighed. "Maybe you're right. Maybe everything will turn out good..." I closed my eyes blissfully.

I'M SO SORRY THAT I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN SO LONG!!!! This is a new chapter for you guys! I hope you like it! I'm finally reaching the exciting part and I've realised that I haven't really built on Genji's and Night's relationship so I was like hey, why not do it now? But, as all of you Overwatch fans know, Gency has basically been confirmed on the PTR (Valentine's Day voicelines) but don't worry! I have it figured out. It'll just take a while. Okay I've got to go byeee!
