The Calm

"So, what'd Beak send us? What's on the file?"

"Open it and find out. It's our next assignment since Wave gives us the information. This is top priority over anything the Strike-Commander has assigned. Is that understood, Jesse?"

"Loud n' clear, Gabe. Now let's see what our high n' mighty informant has in store."

Both of them looked at the file Laserbeak had given them. As they read, their faces became grim. At the end of the file was a couple of notes, one to lock up technically most of the Shimada clan, and to recruit both Genji and Hanzo. McCree was a bit put off by those notes.

"I can understand why we need to take down the clan, but why recruit? Why would Wave want us to take two of them clan members in?" McCree asked. "That's a weird request."

"If Wave asks us to recruit them, then we do as such," Gabriel replied. "I never questioned him since he gives such extensive and detailed information for the mission. Beside, what he says usually benefits the world and us in the end. Wave has never led me astray."

"Oh yeah? Give me one good example where his recruitin' was actually good."

"There were a few from Deadlock we took in, but they weren't on Wave's list," Gabriel said. "He only requested one person."

"And who would that be?" McCree asked.

"Go back to your room and pack," Gabriel said as he moved to leave his office. "We're leaving as soon as you're ready."

McCree quickly stood up and followed right behind Gabriel. He wasn't going on a mission to recruit people that could possibly be a danger here in Blackwatch. Despite how people in Overwatch treat him, McCree cared about everyone, especially Gabriel and Captain Amari.

"Who did Wave ask you to take in," McCree growled as he held Gabriel's wrist. "I have to know."

"He asked me to recruit you," Gabriel said, shocking McCree. He took that moment to get out of McCree's grasp. "He gave me a file on you. I didn't trust Wave, but I saw your potential. And let me tell you. Recruiting you was the best decision I ever made. Now, get ready McCree."

With that, Gabriel left a very shocked McCree in his office. McCree was always given a hard time since he joined Blackwatch. Gabriel always trained him harsher than any other recruit, but he was allowed on deadly missions. Gabriel was training McCree to get stronger so he could survive the missions he was sent on. He finally seen how much Gabriel's harsh treatment towards him was actually how Gabriel cared for him.

With that final realization in mind, McCree quickly made his way to his room to prepare. He packed two months worth of supplies, unsure of how long this mission would take. McCree wouldn't let his realization get the better of him, because that would just get in the way.

Once McCree was done, he met Gabriel on the jet. Gabriel immediately took off once McCree was on board. They headed off to Hanamura, telling Athena that he was on an important mission that required their immediate attention. As they went, Laserbeak sat on the jet with them.

With Soundwave

Soundwave was notified of Gabriel and McCree's movement. He was relieved to hear them moving fast. Soundwave could feel the happiness flow from Laserbeak's side of their bond. Laserbeak had two people she talk to on the outside. Now she wasn't alone.

Soundwave turned back to the scene before him. He watched as Hanzo gave Genji the task to collect money from the shops in town. It was one of more simpler tasks, but Soundwave still worried. He knew Genji was very nice to the people in town, so this would be hard for him.
