Haunter Returns

The recall was out. All former Overwatch agents received a video from Winston the gorilla calling for action. There were many different reactions across the board and it wasn’t any different for Melissa- call sign: “Haunter.” The older woman watched the video repeatedly, processing the information. She had been just a twenty-something kid when Overwatch was first formed.

That’s what her teammates had called her, “the dumb kid with a paint gun.” An artistic scientist by trade, she had managed to develop one of the first true cloaking devices that mirrored colors around it. Armed with this and various paint-based weaponry, the organization had sought her out. Battlefields were decorated with bright paint bombs and enemies blinded from causing more harm. All while moving unseen.

She made friends relatively quickly amongst teammates- Reinhardt, Jack Morrison, Ana… Gabriel. She loved that man more than words could say. Practically followed his every word. Somewhere in a photo album, she kept photos; Many of them were shots taken with the others that had silly words or phrases across the top. At some point she had gotten them printed for the album and stored in a database so they would never be lost.

One of her favorites had been right before a mission with Gabriel. She begged and begged until he finally agreed, he even smiled for it. Of course they both looked like dorks and he forced her to promise not to show anyone else. He kissed her cheek.

Was this recall going to change anything? Melissa had attended so many funerals for her friends of that time. For God’s sake, her own child was an adult now! After the rift began between Morrison and Reyes, her own relationship with Gabriel had begun feeling… strained. Unwarranted anger directed at her after missions. Accusations of her “always taking Jack’s side.” The kisses stopped. So did the sweet words and moonlit walks.

The explosion was just another sign it was time to retire. Five years of reconnecting with family. Five years of getting her affairs in order. Five years of making new friends, going to the park to paint whenever she wanted. Five years of… not using the technology she herself had designed. No more late night drinking with comrades. No more going out to fight for what was right for the hell of it.

Five years of nice things. But just nice.

She had been watching the news. There was chaos all over the world, Winston was right about that. Strange masked figures causing trouble for everyone. Masked figures that reminded her too much of old ghosts. Her gut made her question who had really died back in the old days.

In a closet, next to the old photo albums was Melissa’s equipment. Camouflage devices, paint gun, mines- The woman found herself looking at everything that had been collecting dust. Was she going to spend another five years sitting on her couch, waiting for phone calls from her kid? Playing board games instead of being at the gym or shooting range?

Melissa needed a break from being Melissa. There was too much going on to stand by and not do anything. It was going to be difficult and she was definitely going to be a bit rusty. But it would be good to catch up with people who actually knew the person she was. A smile grew on her face as she wondered: Does McCree still wear all that cowboy getup?

Haunter had some phone calls to make.
