Overwatch One Shots and Imagines

Angela 'Mercy' Ziegler- Hope (a)

Wait ... what?

How could this be possible? You never thought this would happen, to anybody ... but especially not to you. A day that was ... actually going well? You can't remember what had made you want to actually leave the flat today. The past two months had given you nothing but despair and a bad case of indigestion from all of the microwave noodles.

But, something made you want to go outside so there you are. You didn't come out for much, but you didn't need to. Just feeling the warm Numbani sun on your face lets you know that ... for once ... everything was going to be okay. The cute girl at the record store remembered your name, there was a sale on pachimari plushies AND on Lucio singles ... it felt good to have hope.

Your next stop, the convenience store on the corner to stock up on cup noodles. Just because you wanted to go outside today does not mean you would want to again and the noodles are much cheaper from here than over the internet. So why not stock up?

Fantastic, you can see the store now. You always forget just how long the walk is from the bus stop.

You think that is the last thing you can remember before being hit by the car, you know you should have listened to mom, with Doomfist breaking out of prison you never should have left the flat. You knew you would regret not taking her up on the offer of staying with her in London. But, can't dwell on the past. Looks like you are now stuck under the rubble of what once was the convenience store. Your only friend being the battered and ripped pachimari plush, but what else has changed.

The only thing you can hear is the sound of screams coming from outside in between the intense ringing coming from inside your head. You don't think you'll be able to forget the cries of pain until your death, you pray that will come quickly. You can't see anything and with every breath it is getting harder and harder to hang on to life. The screams slowly start to fade out. Is this finally the end? The death you have been dreaming about for so long?

"Commander, I am detecting life forces from the nearby buildings" You can just about make out what the woman is saying. It gives you hope.

"That voice .... God damn it I know that voice ... But from where?" You struggle to make any sound at all but this is your one chance to save yourself.

"Angela, we have no time, we must stop Doomfist, this is our one chance and I will NOT throw it away, the civilian search is being handled by the first response unit"

You know that you recognize that voice as well. It doesn't matter who they are, you need to get their attention,

"H...Hel..." Is all that you manage to cough out through the blood and smoke.

"Commander, I can hear th-"

"ZIEGLER" The male voice cuts into the females "We have no time, I repeat, I will NOT throw away our shot at Doomfist. Let search and rescue do their job -"

"COMMANDER" The woman snaps. "When I became a Doctor and when I joined Overwatch, I took an oath that I would let no man or woman come to harm. You can carry on and attempt to stop Doomfist. But I will not sit here and allow somebody to die or come to harm just because you deem them not important enough. There has been too much suffering already."

You start to recognize the woman's voice, It is Mercy, from Overwatch or at least... what used to be Overwatch. She has been your hero ever since you can remember. She is the sole reason you took up a career in the medical profession, you were going to do great things and then Overwatch disbanded and you just kinda ... gave up.

"Fine" The male voice, grumbled. You now recognize the deep, husky voice as Winston.

The rubble around you starts being lifted. You start to see sunlight, the feeling of the sun of your face is better than anything you have ever felt or could even imagine feeling. You are greeted by a familiar face.

"Are you okay there? Do not worry, we are here to help."
