Overwatch High A.U

Chapter 1

The lukewarm air rushes through the bus as it barrels through the road. The bus seemed new and spacious, Lena or "tracer" as everyone calls her now, tightened her shoelaces and adjusted her jeans making sure the rips weren't too high. She looked out as the bus pulled into the school's drop off point. She was accepted into "Overwatch High" a private school for those with abilities ranging from the strange to the impossible. Tracer's power was her power to blink through time with the help of her chrono accelerator. The bus stopped and the occupants started piling off, tracer joined them and headed into the school.

The school smeed to be made of porcelain as the floors looked insanely shiny, to the point where they could pass as mirrors. The walls were made of the standard concrete but tracer couldn't help but wonder the amount needed as the school was massive, the walls were painted grey with splashes of orange which tracer liked as it's her favorite color. She followed the students into the school making a beeline to the dean's office. Passing through the office and the tired looking receptionists, she arrives at the office door. Mr.Morrison was engraved onto a metal plate on the office door. A small sign stated to knock so she did just that. A scruffy voice came from the room "Ah! Come on in". Tracer did just that, she pushed open the door and took in the room. It wasn't large but like a smaller sized classroom, the walls had pictures of Morrison in active duty were framed on the wall along with the overwatch flag. The only thing that looked odd was that someone was already in the office. He was wearing faded jeans and a hoodie that looked like it was thrifted, black hair covered his face but she could still see scars easily. "Hello there! It's lovely to meetyou Ms.Lena." Mr.Morrison stood up from his desk and approached her and shook her hand. "I'm so excited to have you here professor Winston has told me so many good things and I can't wait to see what you accomplish here" the principle stated as he walked back to his computer and printed out a piece of paper. "Thank you Mr.Morrison!" Tracer started but before she could finish Mr.Morrison interjected, "here's your schedule! I tried to put you in the classes I think you'd enjoy based on what Winston told me." he said giving a piece of paper with 5 classes and times to tracer, she could tell that Morrison, while wanted the best for all his students, had way too much work to do. "Thank you" tracer said as she looked over her classes. "Now i would guide you around the school but a nearby school needs me to come over for a conference, so my friend here will take my place.". Morrison said gesturing to the boy in the chair "Oh hell no" the boy exclaimed ''I'm not gonna do that'' he said sitting up. Mr.Morrison didn't even look up from his computer, "Guide her or its detention for the stunt today". The boy was silent for a second, "fine" he said standing up and adjusting his hair. "Proper introductions too Genji." Morrison added. With a sigh the boy stuck out his hand "My name is genji it's lovely to meet you".Lena could almost smell the sarcasm. "Genji, you and Lena should have similar classes so make sure she gets there and teach her about the school". Before Genji could respond Morrison was already packed and out the door.

The pair walked through the main hall of the school, "Right now is homeroom, its just 30 minutes and it's just for announcements, role call and bonus time for the extra curricular stuff we have." Genji said as they continued to walk, "But i don't wanna deal with that so lets show you your other classes''. As they walked Tracer could hear the metal all aroundGenji,She already felt the metal when she shook his hand, but her mind couldn't help but wonder why he was covered in metal. As they climbed the stairs genji darted toward a window on the new floor. "That's the field, if you do track or football you'll be there a lot." Tracer looked out over the field and saw the athletes doing various exercises, just watching them made tracer wanna join in for a jog. "See her over there?" Genji pointed to a girl leading a group of guys in stretches, "That's Fareeha, she's the quarterback for the school football team." Tracer saw her and even though she was just doing sprints across the field she still looked immaculate along with her skin shining in the sun. Genji looked over his shoulder and leaned into tracers ear "just so you know she's our head nurse's daughter and lets say that they have never been on the best terms, Fareeha actually had to hide her application for the school from her." Tracer looked back at him "Why do I need to know this information?" Genji shrugged his shoulders ''it's the most recent drama". They continued their way through the halls and as Genji showed her the best vending machines and where the library is, she could feel that he was warming up to her.

"So here we are class number one" he said "we both have bio together, so don't worry i'll help you out if you need it." The offer calmed down tracer a little bit as she was happy to have a somewhat familiar face in the class". "So not to be rude" tracer said looking at her sneakers and fiddling with her pockets "Why were you in the office this morning?" Tracer asked. Genji let out a light sigh "I popped the tire on my bus" Genji scratched his hair a bit "The bus driver was being an ass". "I mean there's worse things you could have done." Tracer said. "You could have axe bombed it" Genji looked confused "Axe bomb?" 'You've never heard of it?" tracer gasped "It's when you take a can of axe tape the lid down and throw it in a place" Genji thought for a second and nodded "i'm not that evil" he snickered. The bell then rang and people started walking out of class. As soon as all of the students barreled past them Genji led her in the room. The classroom was pretty underwhelming, it looked like a standard class around 5 rows of desks. Tracer followed him to his seat and chose an adjacent one. Tracer started playing on her phone idling scrolling Tik Tok and watching people coming into class. Tracer looked towards Genji who after plugging his phone into a charger, reached into his pockets and revealed a small notebook in which he started to doodle random scribbles. After the room filled with students the last one in was a short girl with a backpack looking like it's about to burst. She paced over next to tracer "Hi you're new here right! My name is Mei!" She said, grabbing and shaking tracers hand "Oh hi you can call me tracer!" she responded with enthusiasm. Mei sat down and pried out a textbook from her back pack and started to do a worksheet. Tracer's head nearly melted when looking at the equations. The bell rang warning students that class is starting. Tracer saw an omnic walk into the class making the class go relatively silent, they sat at their desk and started doing roll looking around and making notes of students. "You are the new student right, Lena?" Tracer shot up in her desk "Ah yeah that's me but just call me tracer" she said. Tracer sighed relieved that she didn't stutter. The omnic nodded and continued. A knock at the door made most of the class turn over to see another student open the door, He walked in and tracer saw that he had a tattoo covering his left arm, "I apologize for being late. I forgot I was recently shoved into this class." the boy said. Everyone in the class stopped everything, Tracer could almost see the tension Mei even stopped doing her work and looked almost scared. Tracer looked over and saw Genji stopped his doodling and was just staring at the late student. "Honzo it's alright just take a seat" the teacher finished his roll and proceed with class, the overhead projector lit up putting some diagrams on the screen, "now this is just gonna be review for some but i want to make sure that tracer is all caught up." the teacher said, Tracer tried her best to keep up but zoned out a little bit, before she only zoned back in to hear "Now Honzo which fits as the best description A,B,or C?" the Omnic asked almost immediately Honzo replied "C" the omnic clicked a remote and the rest of the options got erased leaving only C highlighted in green. "Good job Honzo" the teacher replied "It's just what happens when you're the best in the family". Tracer heard what Honzo said then jumped when she saw a chair fly past her head and hit Honzo dirently. Genji sprinted toward Honzo and started to wail on him punching him fast and aiming for his face and stomach, Honzo started blocking and trying to counter but was failing as Genji seemed to keep going no matter how hard Honzo seemed to try. The class erupted with people yelling some cheering people on, there was one buy with a hat and stuffy hair and stubble that shot up and yelled"Hell yeah fight!" in a thick country accent. Then punched a guy knocking him to the ground. This chaos proceeded to develop as more and more people started to try and break up the fight. Tracer dove under her chair as people started to throw things and saw Mei there as well "Is this normal?" tracer asked her "only for those two" Mei said as she scooted closer to her, "They're brothers. I don't know much all I know is that there was a serious fall out between the two." After a bit more chaos There was a shout "Stop now, last warning!" there was a few seconds before a sigh and a few sounds of tumbling before silence. Tracer got out and saw the two brothers knocked out on the ground with everyone returning to their seats. A woman was standing there her uniform was blue and with a hood and it seemed she was the one who took them down. After a quick conversation with the teacher she grabbed the two and exited the classroom.
