Everything started naturally, no one gave orders, and everyone already had a tacit understanding.

At first, Xiaomei suggested that everyone was busy for two days and couldn't eat well, so it's better to leave everything alone and go get something to eat first.Later, Tobion appeared in front of everyone with a freezer of various wines on his back, saying that the reunion dinner could not be done without wine.Winston tossed around in the warehouse for a long time, and brought out three big boxes of snacks, ranging from peanut candy to banana milk.Seeing how generous he was, even Genji's omnic monk master Zenyatta contributed a few pieces of vanilla custard in the end.

"Although we don't need to eat like humans, we passed the dessert shop on the way here, and this little thing looks really tempting." Zenyatta still maintained the posture of sitting in mid-air, narrowing his eyes calmly and Zen-like. "In the face of everything in the world, we must always learn to open our hearts."

They gathered in the station's largest room, which used to be a conference hall, with its blackboard and screen still quietly in place.When Winston decided to rebuild Overwatch, he briefly used it as an office.

Morrison saw that the execution plan was also listed on the blackboard. Winston's round and lovely handwriting was not commensurate with his huge body.

[First launch a satellite, and then use the former contact channel to send out a signal, tell everyone your position, and ask them to come to meet up.And then... then figure it out. ]

Such a simple and crude plan can produce the current effect.Morrison couldn't help feeling that maybe even if he had decided to reconvene Overwatch at the time, he couldn't have done better.

Several young people are busy setting up the venue.Lucio blares to music as he rolls diagonally across the walls, leaving traces of colored paint everywhere he goes. DVA showed up with a bunch of her favorite Onion Squid Muppets, then laughed and joined in the smearing.Farah changed into a clean shirt and jeans, but the plain clothes could not conceal her tall and outstanding figure.She stood in the middle of the room and directed McCree to hang onion squids around, while Angela stood in a corner of the room, watching this scene with great interest.

Before they destroyed the chamber, the Shimada brothers walked in barefoot.They held a few fresh sea fish in their hands, and Genji said that he would make Japanese sashimi for everyone to try.Everyone cheered before seeing Mei and Tracer bring the dinner.

There is wine, food, music, snacks and desserts.The most important thing is that everyone is here, it is a good time to hold a party.

"Eat! Drink! Friends!" Tobjörn was the first to raise his glass, "For Overwatch!"

Everyone raised their glasses with him.Some are silent, some are solemn, and some remember, but everyone has hope and smiles in their eyes.

"For Overwatch!"

When the wine was half drunk, several gray-haired old people took the lead in quitting the carnival.

Morrison sat on the sofa, his face flushed slightly.From the very beginning, everyone wanted to clink glasses with him.He drank the wine in the glass again and again, but filled himself again and again.He hadn't been this relaxed in a long time.Reyes was by his side, occasionally taking a drink from his glass.McCree even came quietly to ask if they were planning a big wedding at the Watch Station.

"You know, sir. It's like dropping flower petals along the beach, exchanging rings in everyone's blessings, and then we will pack up a separate dormitory for you, so that no one will disturb you. You can stay in it for as long as you like." Wait - oops!"

His forehead was thumped violently by Reyes, and it became red and swollen visibly.

"Come on, Gabby." Morrison stopped Reyes before he was about to get up and go after McCree. "Jesse is just happy for us. After all, we hid it too deeply back then."

He looked at the happy crowd with a faint smile on his lips:

"Besides, a big wedding, inviting everyone from Overwatch. Isn't that what you wanted before?"

Reyes was slightly taken aback, looking at Morrison in surprise.He thought back for a moment before he vaguely recalled the scene when he said this.It was all 30 years ago. He thought Morrison didn't care at all. Even if he had heard it at the time, he would have forgotten it long ago.

Morrison's expression seemed to have completely guessed what Reyes was thinking.He smiled, leaned closer to Reyes on purpose, and lowered his voice: "We're going to have a carnival for three days and three nights, setting off a hundred different kinds of fireworks. It might be hard to find a hundred different flavors of tacos, after all, there are Not Mexico. However, this does not prevent us from doing A on the beach, let you see how I GC in the ups and downs of the sea..."

They had just experienced life and death again, and at this time they were sitting side by side chatting and joking, completely oblivious to the fact that Anna and Reinhardt had also come to them.Seeing their heads touching each other and whispering intimately, Reinhard almost spilled the drink in the glass on himself again.

"Please, Reinhardt, it's the end of the 21st century." Anna said, "Even if you just found out that they are a couple now, you don't need such a big reaction, right? We have to talk about things in a while, so hurry up Put away the ghostly expression on your face."

Reinhardt showed an extremely complicated expression.He didn't know how to explain to Anna what he really cared about, so he finally sighed and walked over to Morrison and sat down.At this moment, Farah looked over here:

"Mom, come and take a photo with us! Xiaomei said that you have always been her idol, and she wants to take a photo with you!"

Several girls waved to this side, and Farah ran over and grabbed Anna's hand.Seeing Reyes sitting on the sofa, she smiled at him too:

"Uncle Reyes, could you please come over and take a picture for us?"

Reyes glanced at Morrison, who nodded.He stood up and took the camera from Farah.

"It's only been a few years, and now there is such a new model?" He fiddled with the small mechanism in his hand with some surprise, "I can't even find where the shutter is."

"It's all controlled by voice now. The camera will align automatically, but someone still needs to control the angle of view." Farah said patiently and gently, "It's actually very simple. Look, it's here..."

For a while, everyone was enjoying themselves, except for Morrison and Reinhardt who were left alone in the corner.

"Old man," Morrison was the first to break the silence.He leaned back, spreading both arms across the back of the sofa. "Gabriel and I have known each other since before we joined Overwatch, just like you and Ana."

"I know." Reinhardt took a sip of the drink in the cup bitterly.There is too little wine in the monitoring station, and it has all been consumed just now.Now he had to drink some sort of tea that McCree had concocted, and the cowboy had no talent for it, I have to say.

"Hey, don't be so dejected." Morrison raised his head towards Anna and Farah, "Although many things have happened, at least you can still guard them now. Although you are all old, you are still in good health , Farah is also very good, and the days will get better and better in the future."

Reinhardt didn't answer.After a while, he finally worked up his courage:

"Jack, since you and Reyes have been together all this time, when did he and Anna..."

Morrison looked as if he had been suddenly frozen by Mei's cryogun.He froze for a moment, and slowly recovered his language:

"So, Anna hasn't told you yet..."

He stared at Reinhardt, then looked at the Anna mother and daughter who were having fun over there, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Morrison was laughing so loudly, so heartily, that it was as if the blond, handsome, high-spirited Overwatch commander had come back to him.His laugh drew a happy crowd, and even Reyes turned to look this way.

"I always thought you didn't like Gabby very much, and I thought there was something wrong between you two." Morrison laughed until tears flowed, "Reinhardt, I really have to say, there is a sense Now, I suddenly understand why Anna has been hiding it from you for so long..."

Reinhardt was in a daze from the very beginning.He didn't understand why Morrison was so happy all of a sudden.He turned his gaze away in a daze, and instinctively searched for Anna's figure.He quickly saw them, and the picture had already been taken, Farah and her mother stayed together, turning their eyes in their direction because of Morrison's laughter.

At first there was some doubt in Anna's eyes that she didn't know what happened, but they disappeared within a few seconds.She sighed, seemingly reluctant, but finally made up her mind and took her daughter's hand.

"Oh, you can't miss this." Morrison stood up cheerfully, pulling Reyes over with a sharp hand.Anna and Farah came together, and Morrison offered them their place on the couch.

"Okay." Anna glanced at Morrison, "Today is probably a special day, and everyone is rushing to reveal the secret on this day. Then there is something, maybe I should have told you a long time ago..."

She took Farah with one hand, then Reinhardt with the other.

"Let me introduce you." Her nonchalance didn't look like she was announcing a serious secret at all. "Fariel, this is Reinhardt Wilhelm, your biological father."

The young Pharah's eyes widened in amazement.It wasn't until this moment that Reinhardt suddenly realized that with her straight and handsome nose and angular forehead, she actually looked more like himself than the Latina Reyes.

"Reinhardt,"

In the blur before his eyes, he heard Anna call his name.

"This is Farrell, our daughter."

The aged Silver Knight wept silently, tears rolling down his statue-like cheeks and wet his beard.He heard Anna sigh again, but this time he never cared what everyone around him thought of him.

"Fala... Farah, she is my daughter...!"

After crying for a short while, he stood up abruptly, wiped his face with the back of his hand, and turned to hug Faree.

"God, Mom, why didn't you ever tell me?"

Farrar looked like she really wanted to avoid that bear-like embrace, but she was always a good, kind kid.

"Listen! My daughter's first words!" Reinhardt exclaimed resonantly with a hint of excited crying. "How beautiful! Farah! Farah is my daughter!"

Seeing him so excited, Farah had to raise a hand and pat Reinhardt on the back in embarrassment and resignation.

"Because I was young at that time, and I didn't want anyone to interfere with my daughter's education." Anna looked at Farah apologetically, "I'm sorry, dear. I didn't mean to deprive you of the right to enjoy fatherly love .”

"I understand, Mom," Farah replied quickly. "I just think...uh... well, I get it, Mom."

She was hugged by Reinhardt and refused to let go, so she could only make a few helpless faces at Anna and Morrison and Reyes who were watching the fun.Reyes spread his hands quite innocently, while Morrison made the sign of the cross on his chest with a solemn expression of condolence.

It wasn't until Reinhardt finally seemed calmer and let her go reluctantly, but Farah still kept that incredulous expression.

"I just wanted to say, Mom," she couldn't help but glance at the veteran duo who were still standing by and refused to leave, "I really thought all these years that my father was Uncle Reyes, or Uncle Morrison..."

"Oh, my baby." Anna walked up to her, raised her head, and stroked her hair lovingly. "Then all these years, haven't you felt that, as a girl, your height is particularly different from ordinary people?"

Farah and Reinhardt looked at each other.In order to take a closer look, Farah couldn't help taking two steps back, and looked her father up and down again.

"My God..." They all heard Reinhardt's deliberately suppressed excited voice,

"Look, my daughter's first steps!"

It seems that it will take a while for him to calm down.Before Farah had time to call for help, Reyes dragged Morrison away from the confession scene without hesitation.

They made clever turns around the monitoring station, avoiding the jovial young people, and finally found a secluded spot.

It was an equipment room, not too far from the carnival conference hall, but when everyone was busy eating and drinking, no one would want to come to a room full of instruments.As soon as they walked in, they saw a line of words appear on the screen at the door, and at the same time a gentle female voice sounded:

"Hello, welcome back."

Reyes opened his mouth wide in surprise, and Morrison was silent for a while before he remembered that it was Athena through the icon on the screen.When they left Overwatch, Athena was just an auxiliary information management program. It seems that Winston has not been idle at the Gibraltar monitoring station in these years.

"Good evening, Athena." Morrison replied gently, "You and Winston have stayed here all these years, must you be lonely?"

"Well, strictly speaking, as an intelligent AI, I don't understand exactly what 'lonely' is." Athena answered smoothly, with a relaxed and simple tone. "As for Winston, I think all he needs is engineering and peanut butter."

Both Morrison and Reyes laughed at her humor.The atmosphere in the small room was relaxed and happy for a moment. Morrison turned around the room a few times and quickly found two stools.

"Genji started making sashimi for everyone." From this monitoring station, Athena could always see and hear everything that was going on.At this time, she also dutifully conveyed the news from the main venue: "Wow, that's the golden eye sea bream. Genji's knife skills are good, if you don't go there, you will have no luck."

"Not yet, Athena." Morrison said, "After tossing all night, these two old bones just want to find a place to be quiet for a while, as long as you don't mind letting us sit here for a while."

"Then, I won't bother you." Athena said understandingly, "If you need it, you can call me anytime."

After saying this, she turned off the screen.

There was a sudden silence in the room.They each sat down on a stool and found that it would spin.Morrison stepped on the stand like a little boy and spun around a few times. When he stopped, he realized that he had no idea how to break the silence.

From the beginning, Reyes didn't say a word.He sat silently next to Morrison at meals, smiling only occasionally when someone spoke to him.When Farah asked him to take a photo, he also behaved very well, exactly what a gentle elder should look like.Only those who are very familiar with him will realize that deep down in his heart, he has always been full of thoughts and uneasiness. Going with the flow is just his tenderness towards the world.

Morrison wanted to ask several times, but in the end he just lowered his head to cover up.He tapped the beat on the table with his protruding knuckles, and followed the solemn and slightly sad waltz from far away in the conference hall.He instinctively felt that this must be from Reinhardt, and as long as he bent his broad back and reached out, Anna would definitely accept his invitation.

Just like when they first met, one is the young and promising pioneer captain, and the other is the famous silver knight.The girl's long black hair poured down in the generous palm of the knight, and the two pairs of black eyes intertwined, and inadvertently locked each other's lifelong destiny.

Morrison also thought about the first time he met Reyes.

He remembered that many years ago, it was Reyes who took the initiative to walk towards him.At that time, they were fighting together in the Mediterranean theater, and each was still a junior officer in the army.Once the side defense was torn apart by omnics, an assault team was urgently needed to repair the front.When everyone was silent, Reyes stood up and asked to be the commander of this mission.

[You and your men alone are not enough. ] The commander said, [Find another person to go with you.Who do you want? ]

At that time, Morrison was still a teenager who had just been promoted to a sergeant, and he joined the army with a passion and ideals that were not clear at the time.The bloody battlefield and the strict hierarchy in the army taught him to be silent, but he still always stared at a pair of burning eyes.As Reyes glanced around, he glanced up, not even sure if he could be seen in the crowd.But their eyes did meet, though only for a brief moment.

Reyes made his way through the crowd and walked right up to him, saying nothing, just raised his jaw at Morrison.The young sergeant seemed to have waited a lifetime for this call, and stood up suddenly from the ground.

Before they could even exchange a word, Reyes turned and walked out.It wasn't long before he discovered that the side battlefield was really like putting out a fire.Half a minute later and everything is irreversible.They fought side by side, soaked in blood, but their first cooperation seemed like partners for many years.

At the end of the fight, Reyes asked his name for the first time.

[I'm Jack Morrison,] he still remembers his answer back then, [You can call me by my first name. ]

He thought about it, slowly thinking about some things along with the leisurely music.He looked at Reyes' frowning brows, and there was an imperceptible sigh in his tone:

"I always feel that Anna and the others already know."

Reyes glanced at him, seemingly unsurprised by his guess.The understanding between old comrades-in-arms is like a bond of hearts, a tacit understanding cultivated in a lifetime of military service that no one can reproduce.He thought for a moment, then said:

"Are you going to wait until the excitement is over and find a good time to hold the meeting?"

Morrison hesitated.He didn't really want to come back from the bottom of his heart, but now that he saw his former comrades-in-arms, after the excitement, there were bursts of suffocating grief.Although no one said anything, everyone still saw him as the commander of Overwatch.He could see in those eyes that they were all expecting him to lead the new Overwatch and take on the responsibility of defending the world again.

How is he going to face all this?How can he speak again, so as not to let those bloody truths wipe out the light of hope and trust in their eyes?

He was thinking about how to explain it to Reyes, and thinking about what was going on in Reyes' mind, and before he knew it, most of the song was over.The main melody of the violin is like a lover crying to his heart, low and melodious, and a few lines can take years.Reyes, who had been listening to the music with his head sideways, suddenly spoke, and said lightly:

"Jack, I'm tired."

Morrison turned to look at him.He buried the broken half of his face in the palm of his hand, and leaned lazily against the edge of the shelf where the case was placed.His voice was very low, but he spoke clearly, as if he was reciting an ancient passage:

"Maybe there were people who needed us, but I've seen enough of the world. I've done what needs to be done. Now there's not much left in this withered body, and while we can still remember Let's go together for the crazy years we've had in the past."

Morrison heard every word he said, but didn't understand a word.Morrison was amazed that there had been so few surprises in his life.He looked at Reyes and thought it was not something he would say, but at the same time it felt like he was the only one who would say it.With countless thoughts intertwined, he asked his instinctive sentence:

"When, now?"

The familiar black eyes closed slightly, then opened again vaguely.There was a warm smile in those eyes, and Morrison could ignore all other expressions.

"Well, right now."

He reached out to Morrison, and Morrison grabbed it without hesitation, pulling him to his feet from the stool.

Reyes staggered and almost fell onto Morrison.He kicked away the wires that were holding him back, and stood carefully.The piece is still going on, and hilarious sounds come from time to time.But none of them had any intention of saying goodbye.

It's just that in life, there may always be some moments when you suddenly realize the existence of fate.

The sound of the violin stopped abruptly.Winston let out an exclamation as someone spilled something on the floor, and there was another rumble of footsteps.Morrison looked back at Reyes as they walked to the door and tapped on the screen they had been talking to before.

"Athena, what happened?" Morrison asked.

The screen came back on, but there was a hoarse sound.The text was intermittent, and Athena couldn't even utter a complete sentence.It was a sign of a system malfunction, as Winston must have just discovered.

"That's impossible!" they heard Winston's voice again. "Athena! Answer me, Athena!"

The entire monitoring station was suddenly plunged into darkness.Then the backup power kicked in, and only a few rooms lit up.

"Let's go back," Reyes said briefly. "It's too dark here to see anything clearly. I don't know what's going on. Let's go and have a look."

Morrison and Reyes groped in the dark, nearly tripping over the wiring on the floor several times.When they followed the light to find the conference hall, everyone stood in the center of the conference hall, staring at the largest display screen in front of them with stern expressions:

Just a few minutes ago, the Athena system was displayed on it, and music was playing slowly in the room.

Morrison saw the familiar face on the screen, and his pupils shrank into a dot for a moment.

"Jack." Seeing him coming, Anna called his name with trembling lips. "To connect us all, that satellite that Winston launched earlier..."

"It just exploded," Winston said in a low voice. "I put part of Athena's core data on it, and it went along with it... It's all gone."

"Maybe it's just a glitch?" Reyes asked. "Why is the Secretary General of the United Nations on the screen? Is it just a video, or instant messaging?"

"This is instant messaging," said the secretary general. "Good evening, Death."

Morrison suddenly pulls Reyes behind him.Reyes looked stunned, he didn't move, and even Morrison was as stiff as a stick when he pulled him.His lips twitched for a moment, and he managed to find his language. Just as he was about to say something, Morrison spoke first:

"What do you want, Nathan?"

"Look who this is," said the Secretary-General of the United Nations, fixing dark eyes on his face: "Our hero, Rogue 'Soldier 76,' Commander of Overwatch, Jack Morrison."

"Did you blow up the satellite?" Morrison asked. He saw Winston clenched his fists and his eyes were so red that they seemed to be able to spew fire.

"Of course." The Secretary-General said, "Not only did you openly violate PETRS regulations by gathering in former Overwatch strongholds, you also launched satellites that were not licensed and registered by the United Nations for communication. These two alone are enough for the United Nations to dispatch troops .”

He smiled lightly, and continued: "Besides, who told you to blow up the Lijiang Tower? Didn't you Overwatch always practice Tit for Tat? Now it's your turn, so it's hard to accept it?"

Tracer let out an exclamation and looked at Morrison in disbelief.McCree whistled, but Reyes glanced at him lightly, and he didn't dare to continue speaking.

"You didn't answer my question," Morrison said in a low voice. "What are you trying to do?"

"I still want to ask you this question." The Secretary-General said, "After I first received the news of the satellite launch from the Overwatch base, I thought it was a false alarm, or at most it was Winston who wanted to eat a banana but pressed the wrong button. After all, we were a little worried when we first let him stay at the monitoring station, but no zoo dared to accept him with his size."

Mei and Farah pulled Tracer behind her.She almost took out her double guns and smashed the screen in front of her.

"But seeing you here, I don't think these things are strange at all." The Secretary-General glanced at all the people gathered in the conference hall, "16 people. With these people alone, you want to subvert the existing Does the international landscape bring Overwatch back to the surface?"

"What the hell is this old man talking about?" Genji impatiently stuck his knife on the ground, showing the temper of a young man for the first time. "Are we all going to be here listening to his bullshit and waiting for someone to come and take us down?"

"Don't worry, Genji Shimada," said the secretary general. "If we wanted to deal with you quietly, we wouldn't have blown up that satellite first."

He looked at DVA who was biting his lip, then at Zenyatta who was still calm, and even glanced at Torbjörn.The old dwarf sat uncomfortably on the ground and smashed a wine bottle with his engineering hammer.With a crisp sound of "pop", the secretary-general finally said:

"Since Morrison is back, he must have told you a lot. But it doesn't matter, you are smart people, many of you are still young. I hope you understand that the banning of Overwatch is an international decision. , It’s not a result that can be changed by just a few of you. Don’t take your precious life for the whim of a dangerous wanted criminal.”

He spoke so quickly that he didn't pay close attention to the momentary flash of confusion in everyone's eyes.Morrison clenched his fists all the time, and kept his head down, unwilling to look at his face.But he didn't stop, because he knew Morrison had been listening.

"This is the resolution of the United Nations. You must hand over the internationally wanted criminals among you, including Jack Morrison, Jesse McRae and Shimada Hanzo. Others, just promise not to participate in any form of Overwatch in the future activities, complying with international common laws and PETRS regulations, we can not be held accountable." He meaningfully glanced at the faces of Anna and Reinhardt, and then looked at Pharah and Doctor Ziegler intently for a while.Until no one noticed that Lucio, who suddenly pulled out the sonic gun, raised the gun towards the screen.A huge sound wave blasted past, and the moment the screen shattered, it was also accompanied by the Secretary-General's last words:

"You've got three days before ICBMs level this place."
