Lucio x doomfist

The Doomfist Gauntlet sat within the newly fixed case on top of a parked payload in the Numbani streets. An armored Overwatch escort was heading towards the payload to get it delivered at the museum. There was added security since Widowmaker and Reaper had attempted to steal it months before.

The day was October 29th and the air was slightly chilly through the metal forest of the city. Lucio and Zenyatta were in the front armored vehicle. Lucio was there, not only as security, but to give a special concert during the Museum Celebration with the arrival of the gauntlet. Zenyatta accompanied him for he was to give a speech on the harmony between humans and omnics as part of the ceremony and tribute to Mondatta. The streets were chained off where thousands of citizens came to witness the parade of trucks and the Doomfist itself be transferred to the Museum site. It was a huge event for the people of Numbani. The previous Doomfist had terrorized their city until Overwatch had put an end to him for what they hoped would be the last time.

"Hundreds come to see their past, Lucio. It almost makes me forget that this device we guard was such a horrible thing to them," Zenyatta told him as he sat cross-legged on the chair within the armored limousine.

"People remember the past, Zen, but it doesn't mean they are still haunted by it. They look at a future where they know they are safe, and this is a way they can see it," Lucio replied respectfully while the envoy of Overwatch vehicles surrounded the Doomfist payload and slowly paraded down the streets.

Zenyatta made no further reply. Human thinking was still slightly unknown to him, but he wanted to strive to be as human as he could. He was, of course, and omnic [robotic beings that believed they weren't soulless machines but actually had souls and free will of their own]. He was part of the movement that helped to mend relations between humanity since the near cataclysmic Omnic Crisis. If Lucio meant that humans celebrated events that had devastated their lives, then he didn't want to judge until he understood; he simply looked out at the window of the moving limousine; hundreds of people were gathered on the sidewalk, cheering at them with signs that held a lot of love towards various Overwatch members. Children sat on their father's shoulders over the crowd, waving their little arms at their heroes. Zenyatta began to feel that other Overwatch members should have been called to help escort the Doomfist judging by the 'I love you, Tracer!' and 'Power to you, Reinhardt!" signs.

The escort moved further and further down the street when suddenly there came a flash of metal against sunlight that flickered in the sky. No one saw it until it flew at an angle towards the first armored car, catching the heavy tire with a loud boom. The armored car swerved and rolled onto its side while the sound of a powerful sniper echoed through the city street from high above, sound catching up to the visual. Civilians dropped to their knees as the Overwatch foot soldiers that marched around the escort raised their weapons into the air. They were calling orders and lining up in formations. Lucio took a look outside while Zenyatta opened the door, hovering out of the vehicle to examine the hold up. There came another mini sonic boom as one of the Overwatch guard's helmet shattered to pieces. The guard fell onto the pavement, his head spread across the blackened road in fine chunks of meat and bone that flushed the street in a brilliant pink. Zenyatta examined the towering structures above him, eyeing a violet shape on one of the skyscrapers above.

"Widowmaker," he called towards Lucio as Lucio danced out of the vehicle. He went to the crowd trying to calm them down of their panic as he set his music beats into his headphones while prepping his sonic amplifier.

"We have to get these guys outta here, Zen. They will be sitting ducks, and Widow can get a few rounds off into them if we don't hurry."

"Civilian casualty prevention is our number one concern, I agree. But Widowmaker is after the gauntlet no doubt. You get the crowd moving, I'll make sure the gauntlet is kept safe." Zenyatta immediately turned to one of the ground troopers.
