Chapter 2: Fate

You stood there in pure shock as you gazed at the sight before you.

"Winston.

Here.

Right now.

Standing in front of me.

Staring at me angri-"

"Who are you, why are you here, and what were you doing in my bananas?" You snapped out of your trance as he fired questions at you. "Well, I.. Uh... I guess..." You stuttered, "You guess what?" Winston asked, with a mixture of caution and curiosity in his voice.

You had to think quick, why were you here? You didn't even know yourself, but you needed a response. Fast.

"I want to join Overwatch." You said, gritting your teeth.

"You want to join Overwatch?"

"Well, that is what I just sa-"

"Why."

"Why what?"

"Why do you want to join Overwatch?" He asked, toneless.

Again, more questions you didn't know the answer to.

"I- I haven't figured that out myself..." You said. There was a long pause.

Winston chuckled to himself, "Well, you're no assassin, thats for sure." he said with relief in his voice. "How would you know that?" You asked, scratching your head. "Well, you would be attacking me right now, or giving me a rehearsed explanation on why you want to join."

Well, that did make a lot of sense now that you thought about it, your sloppiness ended up being a benefit in the end.

You giggled to yourself "Well, I guess you're right." You said, smiling. "I helped myself to some of your bananas, I hope you don't mind" You said, "Uh... Don't worry about it." Winston said back. "Now what do I do with you?..." Winston pondered to himself. He went to pick up the box of bananas. "I wasn't expecting any new recruits, the video was meant to bring back all of the ex-members of Overwatch..." He said, placing the box at the other side of the room, "But, I don't see any point in not letting you join." He said with reassurance.

"So, what do I do now?" You asked him, "Well, you could start by telling me your name." He said, moving over to a seat and beckoning you forward. "It's (Y/N)." You told him as he took a seat in a large tire a few metres away. "And how old are you, (Y/N)?" He asked you, "17" You told him, "You're pretty young, huh?" He questioned you, smiling. "I guess so?" You said, with a confused face. Winston chuckled and continued, "And where do you come from, (Y/N)?" He asked you, "Well (Y/C) is where I come from from originally, but I've been to a lot of places." You said back to him.

"Well then, welcome to Overwatch." Winston said, you grinned to yourself in excitement, "But, you aren't a full member yet..." He said "What do you mean?" You questioned him with uncertainty. "Well, I'll have to speak to some of the other members of Overwatch about your recruitment, to see what they think." He told you, "That makes sense I guess, I understand" You said back to him. "I know Lena will be here tommorow, and maybe some other members might show up, you can introduce yourself to them then. I have a spare room with a bed in it, you can sleep there for tonight." He told you.

"I don't really know what to say, thank you. I wasn't expecting you to be so nice..." You said, grinning, "Is it because I'm a 350 pound gorilla?" He asked you with a straight face, "No, no it's just that-" "Haha, I'm only pulling your leg!" He exclaimed, interrupting you. "Oh, right..." You said, looking at the ground.

"Anyway, how about I show you around the lab for now?" He asked you, "Sure, why not." You said back.

Time flew by as Winston showed you around the lab, he told you about how Overwatch used to be and about all of the hero's that were apart of it. He also showed you a few inventions he was working on. They were impressive, to say the least.

When night came Winston showed you to your room, it was cosy, with a view of the ocean, a single bed and an old Overwatch poster by the window. You slid your katana under your bed, changed into some pyjamas and rested your head on the pillow. You started thinking back to what you said earlier.

"I want to join overwatch."

It felt like you were just saying it out of pure pressure, but at the same time, you meant it. "Perhaps it was fate, climbing into that box of bananas and ending up on Winstons doorstep." You thought to yourself.

You closed your eyes and drifted off to sleep.
