Chapter Text
Angela was the one that talked to the world. She announced Jack’s death and apologized for Overwatch’s actions during his reign. At the same speech, she semi-ceremonially burned the folder that contained the nuclear codes Jack used to hold the world hostage.
Lúcio’s people had searched everywhere and in the end, it seemed like Jack had the only surviving copy. It was over.
Overwatch hid from the public for a few months. When it emerged again it was to break up the begging of a small gang war in the U.S. It did so without any casualties. Then disappeared from the public again. They kept acting as a shadow organization, appearing only when non-combatants were in danger.
Fareeha was now the leader of Overwatch. Angela, Lena and Lúcio were close and involved with every decision.
As he did during his days as a rebel leader, Lúcio kept making music, albeit slower than he used to.
Torbjörn returned to his home with Ingrid, the kids and Bastion.
Reinhardt was never the type to retire. He joined the new-new-new Overwatch. At this point, he had been involved with most of the integrations of the organization, so why stop now?
After Hana escaped the MEKA base. Yuna and Dae-Hyun had spent some time in prison. Yuna was too valuable to the MEKA project to keep her locked up for long but Dae-Hyun was released only a few days before Jack’s death. They remained with the MEKA project, mostly because leaving would result in another manhunt across the planet. Bonding from their similar experiences, they formed a close friendship.
Hana and Brigitte began travelling the world with no care in the world. And they would have a lot to care about, if Sombra wasn’t helping to keep Hana’s identity hidden. Eventually, they reached Korea and met up with Dae-Hyun and Yuna. They stayed there for quite some time, then began travelling around east Asia.
Lena and Emily went back to their apartment and continued leading quiet, ordinary lives. Except Lena’s managing of a shadow organization, but given the craziness of the past years, that seemed pretty tame.
Hanzo moved back to his family’s mansion with McCree, where he spent most of his time trying to find his brother. McCree, while supportive of Hanzo, was more focused on trying every different food in the country.
Amélie and Ashe were still wanted women. That didn’t stop them from moving back to Utah, in a proper house this time. Sombra might have had a hand with that as well. Ashe opened a shooting range. Amélie would sometimes pass by and help Ashe teach a thing or two, but she mostly remained at their home. As time passed, she eventually began getting out more and teaching ballet.
Sombra spent most of her time at their home. As she spent more and more time with Symmetra rebuilding poverty-stricken areas, a friendship was formed. It then took a few years for that to develop into something more. After all, they both had walls up for most of their lives.
But that’s a story for someone else to tackle.
