Ghost of your past // Private

// Trigger warning for mentions of depressions and possible suicide attempts and violence

It had been seven years since the fall of Overwatch. No one had been in contact ever since the final day. Everyone went their separate ways, or they had ended up dying in the explosion at the main base. And the omnic crisis wasn't getting any better. In fact, it was only spreading and getting worse.

Word had gotten out, however. Winston had sent out a video calling for any remaining overwatch members to meet up with him. Because the world still needed heroes. Of course, Jesse wasn't going to deny that. Overwatch had become his family. And he wasn't about to turn his back on them.

Jesse soon arrived at the base Winston was located in. He entered the building, looking around. He soon arrived in a larger room, which appeared to be a common room. Instantly, he was greeted with a few members from Overwatch. Jesse looked them over before smiling.

"Hello there." Jesse greeted, looking the group over. This was the first time he had seen everyone in seven years. The group looked over. Instantly, a few members moved over.

"My, it's been a long time Jesse. It's nice to see that you've grown into a fine young man." A woman said, giving Jesse a quick embrace before moving away. Jesse galnced over at her and smiled.

"Ana. It's been far too long. I'm glad to see you're still going strong." He said. Ana was a mother figure to him. Really, she was the mother of the whole group. Everyone respected her. Pharah was in the room as well. She smiled.

"Ah, good to see the cowboy didn't kick the bucket yet. You had us worried." She said. Jesse chuckled.

"Jack is going to be so happy to see you again." Ana said. Jesse glanced at her and his smile faltered. He looked a bit confused.

"Jack? He's...He's still alive?" Jesse asked. Ana stared at him before her eyes widened.

"Oh. I guess you wouldn't have known. Yes, he did survive the explosion." Ana said.

in the far corner sat a man, he was asian, fairly muscular, and wore an odd outfit. he had a bow and quiver of arrows set on his lap, and he just tapped his foot on the ground. he hadn't been a part of overwatch but since he discovered his little brother was alive, he thought that genji might try to join up. if so, he would join up too. he looked at the group and paused when he heard the door open, and watched as a man in a red, white, and blue leather jacket. he had heard about him. soldier number 76- or was it just soldier 76? either way, the man wore a mask to sheila his identity.

of course, jack doubted that anyone would recognise him, as his mask and body type had changed slightly- as well as his outfit and voice. with age came.. a cracked voice and wrinkles. of course, he was still just as fit. he shifted when he saw eyes land on him. he blinked. "uh.. is yo still a thing that's said or am i too old to say it?"

Genji had of course joined with his mentor, Zenyatta. He had made piece with his brother as well. Of course Hanzo still seemed to having a hard time coming to terms with forgiving himself, but he was trying. Genji was currently standing next to Hanzo, leaning against the wall.

Ana and Jesse looked over at the sound of another voice. Ana smirked. "Never too old at heart, Morrison." She said. Jesse blinked, looking at Soldier. Morrison? So this...this guy was Jack? Jesse looked him over, a bit lost for words.

he smiled slightly and moved to take off his mask, humming. "well, in that case.. yo." he greeted, and looked at them, chuckling. "i'm glad to see a few familiar faces." he said and moved closer to inspect jesse. "ah you've grown up so much." he huffed. "you're not a little skinny kid anymore.."

[Leafwing12]

Jesse blinked, looking Jack over. He blinked. "It's nice to see you again, sir." Jesse said, smiling. "You are one lucky son of a bitch to have survived that explosion. Someone must have been looking out for you." he said.

[dannychan]

he hesitated and sighed. "yeah. you could say that.." he muttered.

[Leafwing12]

Jesse blinked, his gaze softening and smile falling a bit. He set a hand on his shoulder. "...I'm glad you're alive Jack. These past years, I thought you were dead. It's...Really great to see you're still here." He said.

Pharah blinked, watching them. "You of all people should know Jack is too stubborn to die. Besides, Mercy patched him up." She said.

[dannychan]

he smiled slightly and sighed, holding out his arms for a hug. "you know, just a pat on the shoulder isn't very cowboy like. bring it in." he said and smirked.

[Leafwing12]

Jesse blinked. He then hugged Jack, smiling softly. "Wouldn't want to break your back, old man." hes aid teasingly.

[dannychan]

he gave jack a squeeze and chuckled. "may be old, but i'm tougher then ever."
