Chapter Text
“Shipment arriving in 15 minutes”
Athena chimed, Winston nodded “thank you Athena, ill call some agents to help unload”
He tapped his comm, sending a few messages to agent Tracer, Cassidy, d.va, and agent Hanzo.
After a minute he got responses from all four
Hanzo: very well.
Tracer: I’m on it! :)
Cassidy: sure
D.va: XP
he huffed out a small laugh and set his comm on his desk, it was nice to have agents back on the watchpoint. It filled him with pride when he sees the team in the commons joking and talking amongst themselves and Reinhardt’s booming laughter while he tells some of the younger agents stories from when he was a crusader.
Winston smiled to himself and got back to work on his computer.

Cassidy gave a knock on Hanzo’s door, it opened a few seconds later, Hanzo emerged wearing his usual getup including his bow and quiver.
“Ready partner?” He smirked and stood back a bit so Hanzo could come out. He gave a curt nod but Cassidy noticed something was off. “Whats up with the bow? We’re only unloading boxes”
Hanzo frowned “I do not have a good feeling, its always best to be prepared for anything”
Hearing that from Hanzo made him feel a little unsure. “Well, mind if we stop by my room on the way so I can grab Peacekeeper?”
Hanzo nodded “we must go quickly, the shipment arrives shortly”
They stopped at Cassidy’s room and got Peacekeeper and a few flash bangs and bullets and made their way to the hangar.
He’s been meaning to make a move on hanzo soon, maybe after they unload they could go out to town and go to their favorite bar. Hanzo looked at him from the side “are you alright?”
Cassidy shook his head from his thoughts and cleared his throat. “Yea I’m good Darlin’ just thinking”
Hanzo didn’t look satisfied but he nodded, knowing Cassidy wouldn’t say what was wrong out in the open.
Once they arrived Lena and Hana were already there waiting. “Took you two long enough” lena teased with a grin. Cole rolled his eyes “s’ my fault, grabbed Peacekeeper before we left”
Hana popped her bubble gum “why do you need weapons to unload a shipment? Wont they get in the way?”
Cassidy shrugged and looked to Hanzo,
“I did not have a good feeling about this, I brought Stormbow in case something is wrong” he said and looked up and saw the shipment slowly descending down into the hangar.
They all looked up and made some space for it to land.
“You’re just paranoid old men, its just some boxes. Its not like someone filled it with a bunch of bastion units” she said jokingly.
The crate opened with a hiss and hanzo slowly drew an arrow, Cassidy gripping Peacekeeper’s handle.
It opened all the way. It was only boxes, “see! Its nothing, probably just a hundred jars of peanut butter” tracer smiled and went to grab the first box.
Before she could even reach to pick up a box a voice was heard behind her “gotcha”
She gasped and blinked away from Sombra before she could hack her. And when she returned she had both pistols.
Doomfist crashed through the boxes, Reaper and Widomaker emerged from the crate. Talon soldiers behind them.
“Shit! Athena, Talon!” Cassidy shouted into his comm and began shooting the soldiers. Hanzo climbed up onto a walk way and covered hana as she called her mech.
They picked off the soldiers while overwatch agents rushed out to join the battle.
Hanzo killed talon soldiers with deadly accuracy, not noticing Widowmaker aiming at him until last second. He quickly stepped out of the way, the bullet grazed his stomach and he let out a grunt and put a hand over the wound as it burned his skin. “Han!” He heard from below, he growled and fought Widow as he bled.
Cassidy cursed and aimed at Widow but before he could even get a good shot at her a cold chill ran up his spine “idiot cowboy” it growled and slammed its shotgun across Cassidy’s cheek, “Fuck!” He cried and blindly fanned Peacekeepers hammer at the wraith. It laughed darkly as it dissolved into thin air and made its way behind him “goodnight, ingrate” It growled lowly but before it shot Jack came and tackled the reaper “Son of a bitch!” Jack yelled and strangled it.
Cassidy let out a breath and shook himself before looking up at Hanzo, he was looking weaker by the second as his punches became more slower and uncoordinated.
“Such potential, wasted” she said and kicked Hanzo in his chest, knocking him down with a wheeze.
“You could’ve been master of the Shimada clan, been a valuable asset to talon. But no, your weakness holds you back” she said and brought her foot down right where she grazed his stomach.
He let out a pained groan and tried to get her heels off of him “no! I-I will never join talon! I wont be talons mindless slave! Like you!” He shouted in defiance and rolled, sending them both falling to the ground with a big thud. Hanzo was sure he broke a rib or two. Widow cursed and raised her rifle and screamed as a bullet went right through her arm, She retreated and left hanzo to bleed out on the ground.
“We need a medic!” Cassidy shouted into his comm and quickly made his way over but looked behind him in time to see Tracer throwing her pulse bomb and recalling the same time Sombra shouted “Apagando las luces!” Then a big explosion, he covered his eyes and then everything went black.
Hanzo opened his eyes slowly, ears ringing from the explosion. He blinked to try and focus his eyes as a figure stood in the middle of the hangar.
His eyes focused a little better and saw everyone was unconscious except for some overwatch agents who took cover.
The figure slowly walked towards him, the sound of spurs jingling with each step. He looked up at the man, seeing a soft red flannel shirt and muscular dark sun kissed skin.
It was..Cole, but different..
He crouched down and picked up Hanzo with care “lets getcha out of here darlin’” is the last thing he heard before his body gave in to the darkness.

When Hanzo finally woke up, he was in the medbay. A biotic emitter focusing its beam on his injured ribs and where he was grazed leaving a warm tingling sensation.
Doctor Ziegler rushed in looking a little stressed and checking his vitals and the wound. “Do you remember what happened?” She said as she sat in the chair next to his bed with a clip board.
He hummed, “I was fighting Widowmaker, I fell and she was about to finish me but Agent Cassidy shot her through the arm, Then there was a explosion and I saw...Cassidy...but..”
She stopped writing and set down her clipboard
“That is Cassidy, but it appears that he’s not from this time, Winston’s theory is that Tracer recalling the same time Sombra hacked might have something to do with it”
Hanzo stared “I suppose thats not impossible..” he then sat up a bit “what of the other agents? Are they safe?”
Angela looked a little concerned “Agent Mei, Tracer, Cassidy, and Hana vanished during the explosion..which most likely means they are trapped in the future”
Hanzo panicked “what if they are injured! There has to be some way to reverse this!” He said sitting up more. Angela slowly pushed his shoulders back down “please calm down! I’ll explain as much as I can, you must relax before you cause more damage to yourself” she told him and waited until his heartbeat went back to normal.
He let out a deep breath “what of talon? Did they escape?” She shook her head “the explosion knocked them unconscious and we currently have them in holding chambers under surveillance”
“We have them here?” He said incredulously. She sighed “I don’t like it one bit either, but we dont have much of a choice at the moment until we know why this happened”
He sighed and nodded, she made sure everything was in working order and turned the lights down so he could rest.
He rested his head on the pillow and closed his eyes, thinking of Cole the whole time, his distant laughter and voice lulling him to sleep.
