Overwatch One-Shots (Requests: CLOSED) ON HIATUS

(PLATONIC) Right-Hand Man: Winston x Male!Reader

(NOTE: Reader's codename, Hamilton, is based on his ancestor, Alexander Hamilton. Reader is also Gabriel's older brother, being 60 years old during present times while Gabriel is only 56~)

"Winston," (Y/N) eyed the scientist warily.

    "Hamilton," Winston replied with a nod of his head.

    "You know damn well I don't go by that name anymore," the man growled defensively.

    "Fine, (Y/N)," he nodded.

    "So, what do you want Winston? Last time I saw you, you pulled me out of the rubble that was the Swiss headquarters." (Y/N) recalled, taking a swig of his red wine. Winston sighed while sitting down, he slid a holo-tablet his way causing the man to raise an eyebrow. (Y/N) cautiously picked up the tablet, turning it on and looking through the various pages about the Overwatch recall, his eyes went wide before he tossed the tablet back at Winston without a care.

    "No," he said stiffly. "There is no way in hell. Go find someone else to play puppet with."

    "Hamilton, please-"

    "STOP CALLING ME THAT," he screamed and slammed his hands on the table. The bar was completely empty, the bartender was quietly cleaning dishes in the back, so his outburst wasn't looked down upon.

    "Stop calling me that," he said again, quietly this time. "I left Overwatch after the explosion for good, I can't-" He trembled and slid back into his seat, letting out quiet sobs into his hands.

    "(Y/N)," Winston sighed. "I know you left Overwatch, but we need someone like you to help us."

    "Why? So I can just be another version of my brother?" (Y/N) asked with a cold glare, "I may have been his right-hand man, but I am not going to try and take his place like that. Not while he's dead."

    "He's alive," Winston whispered.

    "What?" The man looked up, his eyes wide with surprise. "Gabe's alive?"

    "Yes, but he's not..." The scientist paused, trying to think of the right words to say before sighing. "He's working with Talon."

    "He's..." (Y/N) hung his head, trying to process this all through his hazed mind, the alcohol blurring his memories.

----

    "(Y/N), this is your little brother, Gabriel." His mother smiled on the hospital bed, showing the young boy his newborn brother. He was small, with light brown skin and tiny tufts of brown, curly locks.

    "My baby brother," he smiled and held his finger out for the baby to grip him. "He's so strong!"

    "Just like his big brother," his father grinned and ruffled his hair.

----

    "(Y/N)!" A young Gabriel cried while he clutched his scraped knee, the older boy ran over, forgetting his bike.

    "Gabe! Are you alright? What happened?" He asked, his eyes filled with concern as he spotted the scraped flesh.

    "I tripped and-" his words broke as he sniffled.

    "It's alright, let's go inside and get you a band-aid."

----

    "The SEP??" (Y/N) asked, gazing in awe at his once little brother. The SEP had turned him into a huge man, taller than before and he had large muscles.

    "Looks like you'll have to look up to me now, big brother." Gabriel grinned, his brother smiled before hugging him tightly.

    "I always looked up to you."

----

    "Gabe!?" (Y/N) screamed as he tried finding his brother through the heavy smoke, he coughed heavily, doing his best to cover his mouth and nose. "Gabe where are you?!"

----

    "Hamilton!" Winston's voice ringed in his ears as he felt a heavy pressure being lifted off of his body, Winston helped the injured man stand up, his torso was covered in blood as well as his arms and his, now useless, leg.

    "Winston, my leg-" he whimpered in pain, his leg had been cut almost completely off and gushed blood.

    "I know, we'll get you to Angela, it's going to be alright." The scientist reassured him as he carried him to the outer part of what the building used to be, (Y/N) heaved and rolled himself out of Winston's arms before vomiting a mix of bile and blood, he dry-heaved and tried his best to stand up.

    "Hamilton!" Angela's voice called out and he was surrounded by her staff's golden healing light, she ran her fingers across some of the cuts on his face. "Shit, let's get you to surgery, I won't let you die."

    "Where is he?" (Y/N) asked, "Where is my baby brother? Where's Gabe?"

    "He's gone, Hamilton, he died in the explosion." Angela bit back a sob as Winston helped pick him up, the man sobbed and thrashed in the scientist's grip.

    "Don't lie to me! He's not dead! He can't be!"

    "Hamilton!"

----

    "Hamilton!" Winston called out, snapping the man out of his phase. He shook his head and chugged the rest of his wine before looking up with a wild glint in his eyes.

    "Fine, I'm joining." He smirked, "But we're going to fight to get my baby brother back."

    "I thought you might say something like that," Winston smiled and stood up from the table. (Y/N) stood up as well and slapped a 20 on the table, the two stepped out of the bar and walked a few blocks before stepping into a car and driving off.

    "So, how long has this recall been going on? Who's all joined?" (Y/N) asked as he calmly drove through the empty streets in London, Winston opened the holo-tablet and scrolled through a list of different names.

    "Lena Oxton, Angela Ziegler, Jesse McCree, Genji Shimada-"

    "Whoa wait, Jesse and Genji? Those rascals are back in Overwatch?" (Y/N) grinned and shook his head, "I remember trying to train those two. Are they still misbehaving?"

    "Jesse more or less, but Genji has been away in Nepal with the Shambali. He's doing a lot better now," this caused the older man to smile.

    "Good, that place wouldn't be the same without those two dumb dorks." He chuckled and stepped on the gas pedal, speeding through the streets until he reached the outskirts of the town.

    "Lead the way, Winston."

The drive itself took several hours until they reached the old Gibraltar base, they stepped out of the car and walked up to the doors, Winston scanned his handprint.

    "Welcome back, Winston." A female A.I. greeted, opening the doors to the base, the two walked inside.

    "ATHENA, this is (Y/N) Reyes AKA Hamilton, he's joining the recall," Winston explained to the A.I.

    "It's nice to meet you, Hamilton." The A.I. greeted the other male, who listened in awe.

    "I guess it's too late to turn back now."
