Hard Time Chapter 1

~{Hard Times Part 6}~

The ride back towards the airport was certainly an interesting one. Ana questioned Jesse's attire to which he explained in great detail the incident that happened. Hanzo remained quiet as he stared out the window taking in the scenery to try and reason with his deep thoughts. The same attitude reflected onto the plane, except this time McCree was wearing a gift shop sweatshirt in an extra large and sweatpants. They certainly didn't compliment the hat he wore nor the boots he had on, but given the temporal notion behind it there were no issues. Ana and Winston sat in first class dining and enjoying their stay up front, but again, Hanzo and Jesse preferred to lay low in economy class.  

The flight from Tokyo to Gibraltar took around 24 hours, and the drive back towards base took another hour no thanks to traffic. Hanzo stared at the building they were approaching. He noticed the concrete loop that centered towards a huge mountain of rock before turning around towards the exit. It wasn't too impressive to the Shimada. There was a huge chained gate with circular security cameras right out on the edges of the foundation. There was an extended path that took them towards a secret entrance that folded inside of the rocks overtime. Hanzo let his eyes wander up and down taking a long gander at the carvings that were intentionally dug into the rocks. A secret entrance way, smart. 

Once Ana drove through it seemed that the crack in the rock had closed up and as soon as that happened a row of lights lit their path. McCree still to this day couldn't help but grin. It felt nice to be back home, as well as work for Overwatch. It didn't use to be this good, but luckily things changed. Such a shame it took the best people in the beginning down with it. "Soooo, what are your thoughts so far Mr. Shimada. Impressed?"

"More like underwhelmed." 

"Don't worry. Give it time and you'll be glad you came here. Now I know it ain't much now, but I'd be happy to introduce you to everyone. A majority of them are excited to see you." McCree glanced to his left smiling softly, but then it faded as he noticed Hanzo's and slightly shaking. Ana looked through the rear-view mirror to check on why it had suddenly gotten so quiet.

 She then cleared her throat, "We are closing in on the hangar. Some of the agents are actually out on a mission, but will be arriving later tonight. Take it slow Jesse, I know you are just as excited to show him the team as we are."

"I ain't givin' him special treatment, Mrs. Amari. I'm just sayin', like I do with every new recruit, I wouldn't mind showing them around." Jesse said defensively. 

Soon the car had stopped. Ana looked to Winston, "You boys can get out, I'll just park the car near the back. I don't want any scratches on this car. The wind from the air-carrier is absolutely horrendous."

Winston gave a nod before popping the side of his car door out. McCree did the same before shutting his side of the door. The car still seemed to be sitting even when the two got out, but one person was still being waited upon. Ana turned from her seat slightly to check on the Shimada. "Is everything alright?" 

"Hm? Y-Yes. Sorry." Hanzo was next to move out of the car. He closed his eyes taking a deep breath. New surroundings, new people, a new beginning is what he told himself. He felt the movement of the car shift forwards before it turned around and headed back. Hanzo opened his eyes feeling a wave of an overwhelming emotion hit him. Anxiety made his heart pound so fast he was surprised he wasn't having a heart attack--unless he actually was and didn't know it. Nonsense, it would be something he would notice right? 

The two Overwatch agents stepped towards the Shimada's side. "Why don't we start walking. We can show you around as we speak. There should be a few agents around, but they might still be at training." 

Hanzo nodded without a word and followed the two.

 "An' over here is the big man's place. Winston's one hell of an engineer and ITE wiz. He build the A.I. system called Athena."
