//------------------------------// // Fashion District, Manehattan // Story: Heroines of Overwatch // by ThePegaKris //------------------------------// "Going to street level." The elevator said. It was still nighttime and I needed to get some sleep. Tracer was standing next to me, looking hyper and cheerful, which was nice. I just hope she doesn't get on Pinkie Pie's level of insanity! "How come the technology from my world doesn't work in yours, Tracer, but yours does?" "Your world is still an alternate dimension and in order for us to contact you, you need our technology. Winston and I have worked really hard on this device we just gave you, so be careful not to lose it." "Oh. So do you have others for my friends?" "Yes love! We always come prepared to the fight! However, I can't provide them the cellular devices unless you convince your friends to come and help us." "You are now on Floor 5." The elevator said. "I swear that I didn't press any buttons, Tracer." "Oh, don't worry about that, Sunset. I forgot to introduce you to another part of the team, so let's get off here." "Okay." I think I see a connection between the two of us. In this world, Overwatch is meant to save the world, and back home, the girls and I are meant to save the world. I actually think I'm ready to accept this team's offer to go and defeat this Talon organization. From the looks of it, Reaper is probably the leader of it, so that makes him public enemy number one. When Tracer and I got on this floor, we came across a big room that was somehow covered with arcade machines, gaming consoles, desks, movie posters, and film awards shelved everywhere. Whoever lives on this floor must be very rich. All I heard was the sounds of a girl having fun at a central computer. "Nerf this, haha!" "Hello there, D.Va!" Tracer greeted. "D.Va?" As soon as she paused her video game, she got up from her chair and was carrying a bag of chips in one hand and green soda in the other. She was wearing a multi-colored outfit with patches on both of her legs that said 'M.E.K.A.' Her face paint was pink, too, and she had pointy earphones on. "Hi Tracer! Who's the new chick?" "Hi, I'm Sunset Shimmer! Nice to meet you! D.Va is what I heard to be your name, right?" "Bingo!" She replied. "Her real name is Hana Song, and she's actually born right here in South Korea!" Tracer said. "Sadly, her hometown here was destroyed by the Omnic Crisis many years ago. Her family died as well, except for her mother, who went missing over the years." "I'm so sorry to hear that, Hana." What was even more sad to see was that she started to shed a tear and looking aimlessly out the window down below. Aww man, now I feel like crying myself! She kept staring outside and started to drink away. "I'm okay... I really do need some company right now, though." "There there." I went to approach Hana and gave her a hug, which she returned as well. "Thank you, Sunset! You may call me D.Va if you want to, by the way." "Sure thing, D.Va! So, umm, how did you become a part of Overwatch?" "Story time! This may seem crazy to you, but I happen to be the number one gamer in the entire universe! I was recruited by the Korean army because they saw how fast and well I play games, so I enrolled and eventually joined Overwatch. I'm also a movie star!" "How did you even get fans during the Omnic Crisis?" "I've been live streaming all my operations to my fans and they really love me!" I'm still tired, but I do feel honored to be talking to a celebrity who's also a fighter and gamer. She looks very young, though, almost like me. The only person I know who loves gaming...secretly and is somewhat famous is Rarity. "That sounds cool! By the way, how old are you, D.Va?" "19." "Wow, you're like two years older than me! What do you use to fight?" "D.Va uses a big mech, which can tear down through enemies and absorb a lot of damage, just like a tank." Tracer said. "If all else fails, her mech can self-destruct and kill enemies within its big explosion. She can call another mech down, too!" "A big mech, huh? Sorry if I'm interrupting, but I'm just very sleepy today. I really need to go to bed!" "I understand, Sunset." as Tracer put a hand on my shoulder. "You will be joining us, right?" "I really don't know yet. I just need to think about everything that just happened. The situation that you guys are in right now sounds serious, but I just mysteriously got here." "Would you like to crash in here before you leave?" D.Va asked. "Oh really? But, I don't want to invade your privacy, home, or operations!" "No no, it's perfectly fine with me! You can sleep on my bed for tonight while I sleep on the couch. I need to rest up anyways." "Are you sure, D.Va?" "Uh-huh!" I went to hug her again, tightly enough this time. "Thank you so much!" "Well, I'm glad that's over with!" Tracer added. "I'm going to sleep as well and remember that I'll be guiding you back to the portal, Sunset." "Thank you, Tracer." "Good night you two!" as she got back on the elevator. "Good night!" D.Va and I waved. Now that I can get some sleep, I'll be able to think about this decision. So far, these guys of Overwatch seem really nice to me. Tracer and I have only encountered Reaper, but I have yet to see the other members of Talon. If they're responsible for this Omnic Crisis, then they'll definitely pay for it. I want to help Overwatch, but I feel like my friends don't want to fight evil forces anymore. Have any of them ever held a gun before? "Have a good night, you two! I hope you enjoy your silk scarfs! Miss Pommel, what time is it?" "Closing time, Miss Rarity!" "Excellent! You did very well tonight with the sales, so here's a little bonus for your paycheck!" "Thank you! Have a good night, Miss Rarity!" as Coco left. "Ladies, you can come down now! 'Rarity For You' just closed!" "Any luck calling Twilight or Sunset?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Unfortunately not, darling." Rarity replied. "Twilight has things to do with Shining Armor and Sunset hasn't received any of my phone calls." "Sunset hasn't received any of our calls lately." Fluttershy said. "Ya think something is wrong with her?" A.J. asked. "It would be no fun if she is sad right now!" Pinkie frowned. "This sleepover will still continue." as Rarity closed the front door. "Sunset usually doesn't hide things from us like this." "What makes you think she's hiding something from us?" Fluttershy asked. "Girls, if she's going through a lot right now, then leave her alone." Rainbow said. "We can't force her to speak unless she wants to." "When did you get so smart all of a sudden?" Pinkie brought up. "Alright, enough already!" A.J. halted. "Let's just go to bed and hopefully Sunset will call us tomorrow." "Oh my... When will this ever stop?" "What, Fluttershy?" Rarity asked. "Even I'm getting annoyed by how many times we've mentioned Sunset tonight! I'm sorry if I'm being too blunt, but it's happening! I'm going home!" "You hate Sunset now?" Rainbow raised an eyebrow. "No, but she's strong enough to take care of herself and so am I! If she needs us, then she needs us!" Fluttershy started to walk to the door. "You think you're strong enough by yourself?" Rainbow crossed her arms. "You're too afraid of the dark to even walk!" "Shut. Up." as Fluttershy left. "Way to go, Rainbow Dash!" A.J. said. "You just had to open your big mouth!" "Fluttershy started this, not me! C'mon, let's get her back in here!" "No use, Miss Dash." Rarity hummed. "Once Fluttershy reaches her breaking point, she gets frustrated and aggressive. Let's just sleep and then we'll find her and Sunset tomorrow, okay?" "Aww man!"
