Chapter 37

"Wait, you're serious?" Charles asked. "Yes, as we speak, the old Overwatch HQ is being rebuilt." Ted said. Charles looked at him with a surprised look.

"That's good news, I'll take the Commander back to our base to spread the news." Atticus said. Ted nodded as the two walked back to their ship.

"So, what do I do as a Commander?" Charles asked. "Well, we go and rally the troops is the first thing." Atticus said as they entered the ship.

~Aaron~

Hand in hand, Lena and Aaron walked around the base as they awaited for Charles and Atticus's arrival.

"So, what do ya think will happen love?" Lena asked. "I'm hoping that Overwatch would be reinstated to bring peace to this world." Aaron replied.

"Pfft, nerd, I swear you've been hangin' out wit Zenny for too long." She said bumping into his side.

"You wanna see Jesus?" Aaron asked as he twirled her around and lifted her off her feet. "Aaron! Put me down!" She said giggling.

"What's the magic word?" He asked. "Now you dolt!" She said as her laughter filled the air. Aaron placed her down as she rested her head on his shoulder as they walked to the hangar. The two noticed the ship land as Atticus and Charles walked down the ramp. Angela glided past them as she wrapped her arms around Charles, tackling him to the ground.

"Hi, Angela!" Charles squeaked. She looked at him as she grinned happily. "I've missed you!" She said kissing his face multiple times. Atticus whistled as he walked away back to Lawson. Angela stood up as she helped Charles up.

"So, what was the verdict?" Angela asked. Aaron and Lena looked at them as they nodded. "Well, Overwatch is being reinstated. The old building is being rebuilt." Charles said.

"You mean?" "Yes, we can finally go back home." Charles said as Angela grinned. "Woohoo!! I hope my collection survived in my locker." Lena said.

"Really? You're worried about things in a metal box?" Aaron asked. "Oh shut it, you and your little armory." Lena teased as she walked away.

"L-little? I'll have you know I've created a dozen powerful weapons that could make yours seem powerless!" Aaron said as he became flustered. Lena giggled as the two walked away, Aaron sighing in defeat. Angela and Charles walked to the command room as Lawson, Ana, and Winston waited for them.

"Is it true?" Winston asked. "Yeah, we can go home." Charles replied. Ana and Winston cheered as Lawson smirked.

"He would be glad." A voice said from the doorway. The group turned as Hana smiled. "Yeah he would be, wouldn't ya Jack?" Charles asked as he looked out the window to see the sun setting, a beautiful orange, red, and pink sunset.

"He would be proud of what you've become, helping with the true reformation of Overwatch, battling against Talon, saving people. You truly have become a true leader." Ana said. The rest of the agents piled in as they smiled at Charles.

"I, honestly don't know what to say." He began. "Speak from the heart kid." Lawson said nudging his shoulder.

"This has been a wondrous, adventurous, wild ride. You have all been my family from the very beginning. From the house, all the way here, I've been honored to have been apart of this great team. I could have never been more proud to have fought with you against Talon, never imagined that we saved my parents. I wish I could do more as a leader, but I am inexperienced. I don't think I am right to be a leader. Which is why, I am giving leadership of Overwatch to you, Ana." Charles said. The group looked at him as he stepped down and stood next to Angela.
