Questions answered

When Genji woke up, he was sore everywhere. Every movement he made him wince, especially his back. He honestly wanted to go back to sleep. But he remembered that he got woken up, and it was probably the time for the debriefing of the mission. He cursed under his breath.

The mission wasn’t a total failure, but it wasn’t exactly a victory. He wasn’t looking forward to hearing everything that he did wrong. The only thing that saved their life (probably. …OK, maybe a bit more than just a probably) was the intervention of this “Mockingbird” person. He hadn’t heard about them, but Gabriel did, and they knew his boss well enough to enter the private communication link that they had…

Or they hacked into it. That could be it, too. Either way, Gabriel didn’t seem that surprised that they managed to slide their way into their comms. In any case, the cyborg was glad, if it wasn’t for all the questions that ensued in his mind. He hoped they would be answered during the meeting.

The ninja stood up, wincing at the pain. Time to get ready. He wondered what type of clothing he would take on, before shrugging and taking a hoodie with some slim pants. Both black, of course. As was his entire wardrobe… Ah, there was some red here and there, he saw.

He sighed, closing the closet. This was going to be a day, wasn’t it ? He was already looking forward to the end, so he could sleep and hope for a better day tomorrow.

He got out of his thoughts. He needed to go to the briefing room now, or else he’ll be late. He didn’t want attention on him.

He walked into the briefing room, noticing that he wasn’t the first, but certainly not the last to be there. Not exactly the last, to be more precise. Everyone was there besides Cassidy, which made him arch an eyebrow, but he didn’t comment on it. He sat down next to Gabriel, in front of Moira. He didn’t answer her greeting, barely shooting her a glance.

Genji as well as the others waited patiently for Cole, the sound of the commander talking quietly to someone breaking the cold silence.

When the cowboy finally arrived, he was almost late. He looked grumpy, as did everyone else, but it actually looked rather faint on his face. The only way the ninja could tell was because he knew him rather well.

Noticing the newcomer, Gabe told something to his interlocutor on his phone, then turned to his team.

It's late...

Genji looked at the clock again, for the nth time.

4.39 AM.

He sighed. The ninja hasn't managed to sleep since now, the thought of what happened on their last mission still on his mind. How he escaped death again. How if Mockingbird didn’t think of checking on them they wouldn’t have come off that easily.

He felt his phone make a quick buzz. He looked at it.

Speaking of which…

Mockingbird you sleepin ?

Was he ? Did he want to pretend ? … Let’s see what he wanted, first.

Genji What do you want ?

Mockingbird idk im just bored, i guess

Genji There’s Cassidy for that.

Mockingbird ye but he sleepin i dun wanna wake him up yknow im a tease not cruel

The Shimada sighed. They were just bored… He didn’t think he could be a good distraction. But at the same time, he didn’t really want to sleep now, Genji was too awake to even attempt it.

Genji I’m not sure I’ll be a good disraction Distracyion

Mockingbird r u ok

Genji Distraction

Thoughts

Mockingbird

Heya there~

How was your day ? :3C

Genji looked down at his phone, a bit surprised to see the message. It has been a few days since the last time they talked, and the Shimada always forgot to message him. Not that he had anything to talk about.

Genji

Uneventful.

Mockingbird

Do you want to make it more lively ?

‘What is he planning to do ?...’

Genji

Depends.

Mockingbird

Tell me a name

And I’ll tell you what I know about them

‘Does he always have to cut off his messages…’ He shook the thought out of his head. He took the time to consider it.

Genji

What’s the trick ?

Let’s be real, this was too good to be true.

Mockingbird

I’m bored

And I need to be entertained

Plus it’ll train my informant skills

That seemed like a good enough reason. Still, he was wary.

Genji

Gabriel Reyes

Mockingbird

Ooo

Wanna know some tea about your boss ?

I see how it is

There’s a lot of censure about it but

I managed to find a file speaking of a special agent protocol

Maybe you know about it

I think the government wanted to be hush-hush about it

Since it was pretty hard to find

Alongside someone else

They were numbered

He was the 24th

Dunno what it was exactly

Enhancement of some kind

Then he joined Overwatch as the og leader

And the rest I assume you know

Unless ?...

Genji

I do know the rest.

That was some really interesting info. He wasn’t sure of the validity of it. Maybe he should ask for someone he did know… He typed slowly and had to rewrite it numerous times.

Genji

Hanzo Shimada ?
