#post recall

Possible Trigger warnings!! 

(Post-Recall - Overwatch) (Dad!Reaper x Child!Reader)

Reaper meats a child and bonds with them, but not wanting the child hurt or influenced by Talon ends up leaving and re-joining the re-called Overwatch. 

After finally settling down at Overwatch and becoming friends with many in the group, Talon finds out the reason Reaper left them, and they want him back.

Cue Talon eventually kidnapping the Child, hoping to force Reaper to join them again.

How does Overwatch react? What would they do to get the child back? How would they cope with the missing child before finding out Talon has them?

Possible added ideas - 

When Reaper re-joins Overwatch the group is skeptical and wary of both him and the child, and thus takes awhile for the group to accept that the bond between them is true, and not some plot to take them down.

Overwatch group, although still wary of Reaper, have become just as infatuated with child reader, and begin to treat them as family. Even some of the harder Agents (Soldier, Hanzo, etc.) begin to spoil and soften around the child.

Child is injured  (or tortured), and Overwatch’s & Reapers reaction.

Cute Father-Kid interactions between Reaper and Child (possibly caught by another agent. And if it was filmed? No one needs to know :P)

Cute interactions between the child and other Overwatch members.

Jesse had a bad feeling about this mission from the moment Winston told him he’d be going back to Route 66.

‘You’re our best agent, you know the area intimately,’ Winston said.

He’s not wrong. Jesse is the only American out of the six of them who have answered the recall so far. He’s also the only person between them not currently on a mission or recruitment drive, so he had no choice, really.

Being back in his old stomping ground was strange, to say the least. He hadn’t been in this part of Deadlock territory since Gabe bused in, shutting the entire operation down. He was surprised that shitty little diner where he used to hang out was still open. He was even more surprised that he wasn’t allowed in, told to ‘scoot or cop a faceful of buckshot.’

He didn’t care much anyway, he always hated the coffee there, and he didn’t need coffee at that moment. He supposes he did it for nostalgia’s sake, as stupid as that was. But it didn’t matter. The mission was to investigate after several eye-witness reports claimed the Reaper was frequenting the area. The mission was to watch, report, but do not engage

If only Jesse had realised sooner it was a trap.

She has an old comm as a memento of her time in overwatch. But obviously it didn't work or it could be tracked. She heard about it as a low whisper between the terrorists in Egypt and deceieded it was worth checking out. Her curiosity hadn't killed her yet and, who knows, it might not be a red herring.

So she fixes the comm and sends out a signal. Leaving the comm in the location she was going to end up fighting them in. She knows it was designed to only transmit a signal to overwatch officials, but there's at least a gallon of sand in that thing and overwatch isn't as organised as it used to be. She leaves it 2 weeks before enwuutinh through her own channels of activity in the area. Finds there is rumours of a large ship arriving within the next day. And goes to set up her course of action. She believes the terrorists she is fighting got dealt a heavy enough blow last time and so couldn't muster the strength for another attempted attack on civilians, it was rather hard for their leader to come back from the dead, leaving her free to do as she pleased for at least 2 weeks before they decided to get outside help.

The next day an old orca arrives, and Ana gets in position

The ship that arrives looks like it belongs to overwatch, but not so much that anyone who wasn't in it, would know. She was close to the engineers that built to old ships, so she knows the quirks of an overwatch build. Being around torb puts those things in your head, whether you want them or not.

She doesn't know the condition of the forces coming to intercept her signal. Whether they'll be 30 or 3. But she makes an estimate at the usual strike team size of 6. They can't have changed old ways so quickly.

..................................................................................

As they were assigning missions on who next to bring back, they finally got wind of ana's location, so she was next on their list of people to call. But they know ana, they know she wouldn't let them see her if it wasn't a trap or a set up. So they send those that have a hope of reasoning with her. Mcree, mercy, Jack, torbyorn, Reinhardt and then zenyatta to ensure peace was kept. This team was there to ensure ana they meant business and to bring her out of hiding

They hadn't told phrara yet, it was a shock to all of them. But as soon as they started doing work around Egypt in the old overwatch channels, phara got wind and wanted to enlist. They couldn't keep this a secret forever. Of jack or of Ana, and ana needed to be there to see her daughter and the accomplishments she made in her stead. That was the only way to gain either of their support. So with that though in their mind, they set off to reunite with one of their oldest comrade

Of course nothing goes swimmingly, when they see the ruins of an old desert town they know they're in for a hard time. This was ana's preferred hunting zone, and hunt she did. A bullet strikes the stonework behind which mcree crouches. He knows her, he knows that shot "back off now or you won't hear the next one". He also knows better than just to walk out in the open. She has him in her sights. And he never doubted her aim before. So he shows her the greatest sign he can, throwing his hat and serrape around the corner followed shortly by his peacemaker

He crawls the opposite way around the building, waiting a few seconds before shouting "im coming out", slowly he raises his hands above his head ignoring the fear on his teammates faces and he closes his eyes and opens his arms "ma'am, I'm sorry" there is no hesitation in his step but his voice shakes as he says "We abandonned you, an' we deserve whatever pain you can hit us with" slowly going to his knees, he continues "but we need you, now as much as ever, the world is in chaos an'... an' i can't sort it out, not wothout you. It's jus' not right" he's almost shaking as he waits for something, anything.

A bullet tears through the air and lands straight in mcree's flesh arm. He yells and drops to the ground clutching it, writhing about in pain

This causes mercy to promptly drop any caution and fly straight to him, healing beam fixed on her target as she signals over to the left where Reinhardt is and he charges over, raising his shield. Mercy's quiet muttering of "you're a fool, an apsolute idiot" as she tries to relieve his pain but to no avail, ana had hit him with one of her anti-healing bullets, blood was still steadily flowing out of his arm as she bandaged it, soaking through layer after layer, she quickened her pace and told rein to hold his ground a little longer

Mcree's pain-filled yelling was all that they could hear and they desperately needed to get in contact with the others at the drop off site in order to head back, they left torbyorn and zenyatta to defend the orca, as it was in an open area and likely to be attacked, Jack promised he would only come out if he was sure he wouldn't be recognised or it was an emergency. News spreads fast in these parts and the only people who know about overwatches recall is those who were initially contacted and those that have applied since

With no other option they agree that Reinhardt should carry mcree and boost his way away from ana's rifle and mercy would follow, making it a dangerous but necessarry risk in order to escape and decide on their next move, if Ana wanted to stay hidden then so be it. She'll have to wait while mcree is still bleeding. Mercy slowly lifts mcree and moves behind Reinhardt so his armor can block some damage when his shield goes down. In one fluid movement mcree is moved from one person to the other and they duck their heads as rein charges away, mercy flying erratically behind in order to not be shot

They take it at a run, being careful not to move mcree's arm too much. Angela is trying to make contact with the orca, using any communications she can, that the mission failed and they were on their way back, but as they got closer the echo of gunfire gets louder and the yelling of battle get fiercer. They climb the brow of the sand dune they were on and see the chaos below

The ship was surrounded with black-clothed bandits and intermingled between were some carrying heavy weapons and large shields. They seemed organised so they made the assumption that it was a branch of the terrorist group that farreha had mentioned was growing in support. Though they couldn't have had this many numbers surely? There was gunfire from the front of the orca and as they approached from behind they heard a yell of "Molten Core!" Before fire steamed over the top of the orca and waves of the nearest group were mowed down. This bought the remainder of the group time to run around the side of the orca and into the main holding bay where Angela's main supply of medical kit was. Mcree was given the barest minimum of care to keep him safe as mercy saw the flames die down and rushed out to help. Jack was shooting from the top door of the ship, mask on and biotic field down. Reinhardt had shielded torbyorn's turret and zenyatta was behind his shield too, firing his orbs out at rapid pace. It was bloody, but that never stopped the old soldiers, they powered through. It got harder and harder to defend all the angles they needed to, every time the turret knocked down a few at the center, more would come from the side and with mcree out of action and jack taking the left side they had to rely on zenyatta to take the right and protect the main doors from sabotage.

Hard going would be an understatement.

The peaceful monk was splattered in blood from where his orbs had smashed into the enemies. Reinhardt's shield was heavily cracked and torbyorn's turret had begun to spark but they could see the end now, only a one more group. This group, however, had a large, hooded man carrying a heavy machine gun. That was slowly chipping away at their massive shield as he got closer and closer. The constant fire of the gun was only beaten by the turret that seemed to be doing nothing as the man was heavily fortified by shields. Jack had almost finished with the left side groups and was about to sprint over to the right side to assist zenyatta when there was a mighty crack as the blue barrier broke into many pieces and a few seconds later the turret exploded raining molten metal onto the strike team. This was the final moment. Rein readied his hammer and dealt strong strikes to those at the front knocking their shields back and Jack managed to get precise shots off in that short window with his tacticasl visor. But that still left more than 10 enemies and little more than mercy's pistol and zen's orbs to fire with. Reinhardt, having taken most of the damage from the machine gun, was showing his fatigue as, just when his hammer was raised for another strike, the machine gun was aimed for his allies. Preventing him from swinging too recklessly they were stuck, half inside the orca as some sort of protection and time running out.

There was a flash from one of the nearby buildings and the constant tear of the machine gun was silenced. The man lay slumped over and Reinhardt saw this as oppertunity, so he took it, reckless as ever, with another flash he was sparking blue and there was a yell of "You're fired up, get in there" before Reinhardt slammed into the man on the ground, his heavy armour crushing the gun and pinning the man to the wall. He then turned and swung his hammer down, crashing into the ground causing the remainder of the enemies to fall, shields down, torbyorn's new turret gleaming and his shotgun firing pellet after pellet at the prone foes. Not one of them got back up.

Mercy went around, healing everyone and then helping set up the orca for flight. She was so busy she didn't notice the grey haired lady walking over the bodies, rifle slung on her back and carrying in her arms, the red serrape and hat of the cowboy's

She assisted the team, no words were needed yet, they needed to get in the air, then they could discuss what happened. The bodies would draw attention, and they didnt want anyone waking up and raising the alarm. They needed to escape unseen, so they were thankful for her local knowledge

Talon takes over Hanamura and Overwatch receives the distress signal. They send a strike team and along with it, the two brothers who were banished and thought to be dead. In the depth of the night after the fight, Angela and Jesse catch a glimpse of Genji and Hanzo in a different light; one that is intimate and unguarded. The silence of unspoken love underneath the gentle cherry blossoms in the place they hope to call home again.
