Clemency was listening to breakup songs like she had actually broken up with Hanzo. She didn't have headphones so everyone had to deal with it. The twins were literally dying, nothing that wasn't My Little Pony or Little Pet Shop was poison to them. Grace was in the other side of the room (cave) helping Forgiveness finish some medical mumbo jumbo or something. But in the middle of the room, on a small plateau with a few computers, was the giant silverback gorilla; the good samaritan... Bill.


Charity finally had enough and ripped Clemency's communicator from her hands. Clemency yelled as Charity violently turned off the music and threw the device across the cave. Charity ran back to Pity and stuck out their tongues as they locked arms.


"Bill, could you please tell us your life story to keep them quiet?" Forgiveness said, giving the twins a stern look.


Everyone went silent. They knew better than to speak when Bill was going to speak. "K," Bill said in Scar's voice from The Lion King. "Once upon a time..."


Bill's life began like any normal genetically enhanced monkey's did...in Horizon Lunar Colony. He wasn't like the other kids because he was born with pink and green fur and (amazing, gorgeous, powerful) emo hair. Aubrey, his caretaker/mom, did everything she could to make Bill normal but no amount of hair dye could cover up his strange fur.


Bill was always picked on for having different fur. The only gorilla that didn't pick on him was Winston. Winston was too socially awkward to talk to anyone so Bill just followed him around until they eventually started talking. They conversed about everything including dream jobs. Winston wanted to be a scientist just like his dad and invent things or maybe build a black hole cannon just to have one. Bill just wanted to look like a normal gorilla.


Winston was a dorky daddy's boy but Bill fell in love with him. Winston was the only one that saw Bill for who he was, not what he looked like. They were so in love that they didn't even pay attention to the uprising the other gorillas conducted that killed all the scientists on the colony. When they finally realized what had happened, they escaped to Earth.


Earth was a scary place for Bill because there were at least 7.442 billion more people that would look at him and say, "Wow, gorillas aren't supposed to look like that!"


Winston was smarter than Bill scientifically so he got a job with Overwatch™. Bill discovered his abilities there. They were similar to Winston's except his ultimate was much more dangerous. Bill could kill anyone he thought of with his mind.


The problem with Winston working at Overwatch was that they never got to see each other. Winston would always lock himself away in a room where he'd perform dumb scientific experiments that helped nobody.


One day they decided to meet up finally. They sat awkwardly in the Dairy Queen drive thru line, waiting for the other 45 people ahead of them to finish ordering. They suddenly spoke at the same time to break the silence.


"I really wish we could spend more time together like this." Bill said


"I think maybe you should go out and see other people..." Winston said.


"What?" Bill's heart crumpled up. "What do you mean‽"


"I mean like... I'm always working and you have no other friends." Winston sighed. "Maybe you should go out and find someone else that will spend time with you..."


Bill couldn't believe that science was more important than he was. Bill's heart had literally crumpled up and was left a pile of dust in the pit of his stomach {he keeps the blood flowing through his veins through anger alone}. Love was dead. He left Overwatch so he wouldn't have to see Winston's stupid face and joined Talon. He wasn't really in Talon he was just there in case they really needed help.


It was many years until he started targeting Overwatch members and started killing them as a warning, hoping Winston would remember and fear the return of Bill.


When he flew off the map in chapter 6, he was rescued by a group of healing angels, after hours of hating both Overwatch and Talon for forgetting him. "Only characters with a lot of plot armor could survive a fall like that," they told him after he was fully healed "You must be important to the story." Bill befriended the healers and listened to their tragic backstory.


"I could release you," Bill offered. "But only if you help me."


The leader agreed and with a promise sealing handshake, Bill used his immense power to break the seal keeping the angel healers trapped under Numbani.


"And now I'm here, retelling my story." Bill finished. The Mercys hesitated before clapping their hands.


Forgiveness finally stepped in after the Mercys finished their round of applause. "When are you planning to attack?"


"Soon..." Bill stared off into the distance.


Forgiveness wanted a more specific answer but didn't dare ask for one. He just nodded and returned to his medical supplies.
