"So.....hungry..." Mei struggles to get out.

She's been there for a couple of days without food. Ever since she got out of her cryo pod, Mei has been trying to figure out what happened for 9 years. After weeks of piecing information together, she ran out of food, supplies and her will to keep living. 

"I'm so...tired...and......cold.... so....so....cold..." 

Mei begins to close her eyes slowly and peacefully as if to drift off into a coma. When suddenly there's a crash outside her teams base. Snowball attempts to wake her up by pushing her cheeks but it doesn't work. You can see distorted figures of some people coming out of a helicopter and rushing into her base. 

"Mei Ling?! Mei!" A soldier seems to yell out. 

"Hello? Is there anybody here?" A woman seems to scream along. 

"Guys! Over here! There's a girl!" A man in a deep southern accent calls out. 

"She's out cold, let's get her to a hospital." The woman states. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mei wakes up in a nice lightened room with a needle in her arm and an oxygen tank on her face. Her eyes flutter open slowly then dramatically. She freaks out a bit. 

"Uh...um...excuse me? Hello?" She whimpers out loud. 

She takes a inhale of the oxygen mask and passes out again due to exhaustion. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moments later Mei's eyes slowly open again and the first thing she sees is a scrappy looking cowboy right in front of her nose. She screams in terror.

"Ahhhh!" 

The cowboy jumps back in shock.

"Whats wrong lil lady?"

"What's wrong with me?! You nearly scared me half to death!" Mei blurts out. 

"Jeez, you would think she would've been nicer after we SAVED her!" The cowboy states sarcastically. 

"Saved....me.......from what?" She asks confused. 

"We are Overwatch, a team of the best heroes in our world today. We finally picked up a signal that we assume you sent out a few weeks ago. We were hesitant to go check it out since there might not be any survivors but hey, we found one!" A blonde man laughs awkwardly. 

"Let us introduce ourselves, my name is Ana Amari, and what a pleasure to meet you."

"My name is Jack Morrison, I've heard many great things about your scientific work ma'am."

"Oh, why thank you!" Mei blushes. 

"But who is that?" She says in a disgusted voice. 

"Well my names Jesse McCree darlin, and I'm pleasured to be your acquaintance." He grabs her hand and kisses gently while slowly letting her hand down on the bed and still making eye contact with her until he finally breaks it with a wink. 

Mei turns tomato red and as her eyes widened she looks down immediately. 

"Psst, let's leave them alone. I have a feeling Mei has never met such a handsome southern like Jesse before." Jack laughs. 

"Ah yes, she could even do some scientific experiments on him" Ana winks and smirks at Jack again. 

They both leave the hospital room and close the door behind them. The sudden loud noise frightens Mei. 

"AH!" Mei jumps up and somehow manages to knock off her glasses onto the floor. 

"Don't worry darlin, I got it." Jesse bends down and grabs the pair.

He opens them up and is gently putting the glasses back on Mei's face and suddenly his eyes widen. He's staring at her. He's noticing her chubby cheeks, her round brown eyes, her cute pink nose and her thick pink lips. He's noticing her slight freckles, her mole under her right eye, the way her eyebrows curve. He's noticing her. 

"Jesse...?" Mei breaks the silence with her quiet voice. 

Jesse snaps back into reality and stares into her eyes and leans in. His lips meet hers and he can feel the heat coming from her cheeks. He grabs her lips with his and rubs his nose between her cheek and nose, he smiles a bit. Mei still in shock accepts this and her eyebrows relax when she notices how great a kisser Jesse is. 

Knock knock.

A well fit woman walks into the room in the middle of this scene and turns bright red. 

"Fareeha! Don't tell your mothe-"

The girl known as Fareeha runs out of the room shouting at the top of her lungs that Jesse McCree was kissing some girl. Ana and Jack both hear this and head to the room to investigate. 

Mei and Jesse are sitting in their own places a few feet away from each other.  Bright red and heated.

"Did you get a good saliva sample for your research Mei?" Ana teases.
