Overwatch High A.U

Chapter 8

October 24th

Tracer walked through the hallway before her eye caught on a poster on the wall. It read "October 30th Halloween Ball" On the bottom of the poster it said "costume necessary!". Tracer kept this in mind as she continued on to her first class meeting Genji. Class went normally for the most part, "Hey Genji" Tracer asked, "Are you going to the Halloween Ball?" She asked. Genji looked up "No not really, why?" He responded. Tracer rubbed the back of her head, "I don't know it sounds like fun and I'm new here so might as well try to meet new people." She said. Genji responded with a small "hmmm.". "What's stopping you from going?" He asked. "No one to go with" She answered. Genji laughed "Used to" He said "We're going" He said. Tracer was taken aback by his forwardness "Oh Sure!" She answered "What's with the enduseasthm?". "Can't keep me away from a party" Genji said, a small smile forming. Tracer continued to her next class, As soon as she arrived she remembered her promise to Emily and walked over to Hana. "Hey Hana!" She said, Hana paused her game and looked up "Oh! Hey Tracer, what do you need?" She said with a cheerful smile. It just hit Tracer what she was doing and suddenly she felt embarrassed, "Oh! I just wanted to say that my Girlfriend likes your streams and she wanted me to tell you!" Tracer thought she was embarrassed but suddenly Hana's face looked as red as a cherry "Wow! Really!" She said "I didn't think anyone would watch" Hana admitted "I'm glad she likes it!". Hana seemed to be getting even more embarrassed by the second to the point where Mako slid her some water. After drinking half a bottle she finally seemed to calm down. "Sorry, I just didn't expect for people to see my streams already" Tracer talked to her a little bit longer before the bell rang, demanding that she sit

Morrison sat in his office, A large stack of papers in front of him along with Reinhardt and Ana in his office. "Well...What do you guys think?" Morrison said dreading the response. Reinhardt was about to speak before Ana burst out "Its idiotic Jack!" She yelled, "I can't believe you are even considering this" she huffed. Morrison sat back "I know it's risky but. He stopped for a moment "I just can't let things continue like this" He finally let out. Reinhardt rubbed the back of his neck, "Well, We're receiving some new help." Reinhardt said to lessen Ana's concerns. Ana was still not happy as she let out a large sigh, "I'll go along with it Jack just for you, But don't expect anything good to come of it." Jack stared at the ceiling, I'm more worried about the students accepting the big change. Morrison looked at the Halloween Ball flyer in his office, "Let's hope my plan goes well."

After School

Genji and Tracer walked into the mall, Bustling with Halloween sales and decorations. The two had one mission and one mission only. find the best costume they could, The duo walked into a store, costumes hung up all around with people of all ages trying to find one that fit them. Tracer darted to the women's section, she dung through the isles trying to find something that wasn't just a sexy version of something. Genji did the same but in the mens section. Before long Tracer got what she could consider her costume, it was just a simple corset with black clothes and cloak with a pumpkin head, Her take of the headless horseman. Genji after looking for a while, found his own holy grail, a super Sentai helmet. He found the rest of the accessories and the two of them had found their costume for the party.

They left the store with their treasure, and went to the food court, Genji getting a banana while Tracer got a burger. "Hey Genji" Tracer started, swallowing the last bite "Can I ask you a serious question?" She asked. Genji nodded "Yeah what's up." He responded. "Well, I've heard other people's stories of what happened to you and your body, but I've never asked you and I wanted to hear your side.". Genji prepared his lies, "It was such a shame" and "It was an accident". Genji wanted to tell her the lies that he told everyone else. But something about her just made him melt his facade, "It was supposed to kill me." Genji started, his eyes glued to the floor. "I had come home drunk.. Again"
