<Present Day>
Over the next week, members of Overwatch slowly arrived at Gilbitrar.
Lena, of course, arrived first, eager to see her old friend.
Genji arrived 3 days after the recall was sent out. He remained quiet and respectful, never disclosing where he had been.
Angela was the last to arrive in the first week. She carried news of Reinhardt and Torbjörn, who were marked as vigilantes. The two were wanted in most of Europe.
Both men had made contact, but soon after, they fell silent.
"We are missing many people, Winston." Genji commented after 10 days of quiet in the base.
"I know. Some have been off the charts for years. Some are dead. Some just gave up." The scientist sighed, crossing names off a list.
"We don't know if some of them are dead, Winston." Angela responded quickly, thinking of Jack. "They were said to be dead, but bodies were never found."
Winston looked her in the eye, "they're dead, Doctor Zeigler. If they were alive, we would know by now."
"We never found him in the wreckage, Winston! Am I not allowed to hope?" Angela cried.
"What of Jesse McCree?" Genji asked, changing the topic.
"He is in the United States, wanted for criminal activity." Lena muttered. "That doesn't matter to us though. We're all criminals now, just being here."
"The world turned their backs on us, darlin', but we ain't turnin' our backs on them just yet." A voice came from the entryway.
"Jesse!" Angela gasped, rushing towards the cowboy.
The man took off his hat, setting it on the table before Angela crushed him into a hug.
"Take it easy, Doc. I had a hell of a time getting here." Jesse chuckled, looking at the others in the room, his friends. His family.
