Just an idea after playing the beta for Overwatch and watching the cinematic trailers for the game. A bit short, but it's just an intro to see reactions. I hope you like it...

Outside of Denver, Colorado

In an abandoned sector in Denver, partially destroyed from the Omnic Wars, a scooter is seen driving through the wreckage to an unknown location. Although it's hard to see, anyone near-by could see the young adult with a long, leather trench coat and dark pants wearing a simple backpack in the night. As the driver stops in front of an old warehouse, he takes off his helmet to reveal medium-length brown hair and equally brown eyes, gazing at the warehouse like a man on a mission. He steps off of his scooter and walks through the entrance of the warehouse, with the pack still on his back. As he walks through the hallways of the broken-down building, he takes notice to several high-tech sensors and cameras here-and-there watching his every move. He continues to walk and soon finds himself in a dark, open room with several tables filled with strange devices scattered across the room. As he looks around, he opens his mouth as if to say something but is interrupted as a large gorilla wearing glasses and space-armor jumps down from above him and lets out a big roar in the stranger's face. After a few seconds past, the stranger lets out a small chuckle and says,

"Is this how you treat your delivery boys, Winston, or am I just a special case?"

The gorilla stared at the boy for a moment and lets out a big laugh as he puts a hand on the man's shoulder, causing his legs to buckle a bit before straightening out.

"Sorry about that Richard, but you can't be too careful these days. The camera's keep shutting down from the low voltage and the only other defense mechanism I have is the motion sensors. You could have been the military for all I knew!"

The man, now named Richard, shrugged the pack off of his shoulders and started to open it up as he replied,

"I am technically military, you know, even if I was discharged. Once a Marine, always a Marine as we say. Anyways, here you go..."

He pulled open the bag to reveal a few bushels to bananas and about a dozen cans of peanut butter. Winston's eye's widened as he saw the food I for him and takes the bag to throw it up to his second-floor workspace. He then jumps up onto his tire swing while Rick takes the stairs up to the second floor, talking to him along the way.

Rick's POV:

"So Winston, how's the shield generator coming?"

Rolling his eyes at me, he replies,

"Still not working. I swear it's as if something in my head is holding me back!"

I chucked at this and said,

"Well, maybe you should let me have a look at it. Me and my dad knew more about these kind of machines anyways before the company shut down."

"No thanks Rick, I've got to solve this for myself, no outside help."

I held my hands up in mock surrender as I walked onto the catwalk towards Winston's bedroom/secondary laboratory while Winston's still swinging on his tire until Athena's voice comes from the computer.

"Richard, can you please convince Winston to take a break from his work for a bit? It's been 43 days, 7 hours, and 20 seconds since his last Cardio workout."

Looking back at Winston with a smirk, I said,

"You know she's trying to keep you in shape, right?"

He jumps from his tire to the second floor in a huff, grabs my bag, and takes out a banana and a can of Peanut Butter. He walks towards his computer while replying,

"Healthy body, healthy body, that's all she talks about this. That's why I have this!", and he peels the banana while opening the PB can with his mouth, spitting out the lid next to a small pile at the end of his work station. Chuckling, I pulled out a normal chair and sit down beside Winston as he turns on the News for the day while he snacks on his 'Healthy Diet'. I watch how the anchor talks about the Russian-Omnic conflicts reaching 50,000 casualties, and I saw Winston out of the corner of my eye put his food down on the table with an angry huff as he rapidly types on his computer. He pulls up a hologram of the Overwatch logo with the words, 'Initiate Overwatch Recall?', and the options Y and N, and his finger hovers over the Y option as I reach out to his arm and grab while saying with a sigh,

"So, we're doing this again, hm? Winston, when the war ended, people were afraid of you guys. They saw an unchallenged military group that could attack any country they wanted to, including the US of A. That's why they put up the Petras Act, to give the people some peace from fighting."

My friend sighs heavily and drops his arm as he says sadly,

"I know...you're right Rick. That's the way the world is...but I do miss the good old days.", and he begins to look at some of the pictures he put up on his walls, thinking back on his earlier years. I decided to give me some space, so I stood up and walked over to the open wall that led to his main laboratory. Leaning back on one of the pillars, I pulled out a pocket knife with the Marine's logo on the handle. I opened up the blade to find the words, 'Semper Fi', lightly printed onto the blade. I smiled, remembering my time as a soldier before the Omnic Wars started, when I worked as an Engineer and Commander of both men and Omnics. Suddenly, I heard, a beeping noise behind me and I turned to see Winston looking at a red panel on his computer screen that said, 'Intruder Alert'. I rushed over as Winston commanded Athena to "Kill the lights", causing the entire room to go dark like when I first arrived. I whispered,

"Let me help you. The Whiplash suit is ready for combat and you can't do this alone."

With a smirk, he replied, "Watch me.", and he jumped up quietly to a platform above the doorway as several armed soldiers with black armor walked slowly into the room with weapons drawn, searching for any sign of movement. I watched as Winston dropped one of his old banana peels onto the ground in front of the soldiers, causing them all to immediately point their guns at the trash. Relaxing, the continued to slowly sweep the room as Winston dropped down from above them and crushed three soldiers while grabbing a fourth and throwing him across the room. He grabbed another by his head and knocked him against the floor, making the poor man go unconscious, as he roared loudly at the remaining soldiers.

As they fought, I saw a moving shadow go across the room and up to the second floor, manifesting itself as a hooded man with a skull-like mask walk towards Winston's small server farm. He pulled out a small device that attached itself onto the wall of one of the severs, causing electricity to spark and Athena to call out,

"Security systems are failing. Winston, their accessing the Overwatch agent database!"

Knowing I had to do something, I activated a small switch on my wrist and a long, thin cable came out from underneath my jacket. I grabbed onto a small handle that came with the wire and used it as a whip to wrap the intruders arm with the wire, causing the soldier to look up at me and pull out a pair of black ornate shotguns aimed at my head. Before he could shoot, I pushed a button on the handle, causing a large voltage of electricity to go through the wire and electrocute the masked man. He tried to use his shadow abilities again and again to escape, but my grasp on his arm was too strong and he went unconscious after fighting over the wire for a few minutes. I rushed over to the server farm and pulled the black device out, dropping and stepping on it before it could do anymore damage. Unfortunately, the data was still being extracted from Athena and was currently at 80%. I was about to call out for Winston until a body from one of the soldier came flying up here forcefully as my friend joined me on the second floor, punching the soldier in the face for good measure.

"Winston, can you stop the virus?"

As I said this, he pushed me out of the way and started typing rapidly on the keyboard, trying desperately to stop the virus. Unfortunately, all his attempts to stop the data transfer only made it go faster, until it was 97% completed. I tried to think of an answer to how to stop the virus, until I saw how Winston's computer was connected to an old wall outlet. I desperately grabbed at the wires and pulled them from the outlet, causing the computer to shut down right before the transfer was complete. Not a second after the computer shut off, I felt myself being lifted up into the air by the scruff of my neck as Winston stared at me with his Primal Rage going through the roof. He yelled,

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT"

"Because," I replied calmly, "I though the virus worked two different ways. One of them installed a chip into your servers to activate the data transfer both wirelessly and normally. I cut off the chip's transfer, and the only way to stop the data being sent to God-knows-where, I forcibly shut down your computer. Cutting off the head of the snake as they say."

After I gave him my explanation, he calmed down significantly and looked hopeful that my theory could possibly be right. I walked back towards his computer and plugged in all the wires back into the wall outlet, causing Athena and his computer to turn back on. Athena called out,

"Virus quarantined. No data lost."

We both sighed, tired from our fight and relieved that nothing was lost. Clapping my hands, I said,

"Now, time to interrogate our prisoner..."

But when I turned around, the soldier I fought with was gone, like he was never their to begin with. I groaned and sat down on the floor, exasparted at what happened as I heard Winston chuckle behind me and say,

"Well, at least the Whiplash works all-right, you should be proud of that!"

We laughed, trying to calm ourselves from our fight when the original Overwatch logo came up again like it did before. I could tell that Winston was thinking, so I put my hand on his shoulder, despite our height difference, and said,

"You know I'm with you, no matter what happens. But now, I think we know what we need to do."

Nodding, he leaned forward and pushed the Y holographic button, causing the logo to disappear and a giant, orange hologram of the world to appear. I watched as several pop-ups from locations all over Europe, Asia, and the Americas appeared to represent retired Overwatch agents signing in again. On an adjacent screen, several pictures and profiles flew by to represent agents who were still alive and ready to answer the call to arms. I started walking away when Winston called out,

"Where are you going?"

I turned around and said solemnly,

"I'm the son of the Omnic Inc. CEO, it's because of him the Omnic Wars are happening right now. So, I doubt your friends would want to meet me. But, I will be investigating what happened here today. For now, keep me in touch with whatever developments come up and I'll be glad to help out."

"They won't be like that Rick, I know it!", Winston argued. I was about to say something back when one of the profiles behind him stopped on a picture of a spiky-haired girl named Tracer as a popup appeared saying, 'Incoming Call'. I smirked and said,

"It seems you've got people to catch up to, big man. I'll talk to you later."

I turned and was about to leave until Winston said,

"If you're going to help us like this, you're going to need a code name. You know, something to hide your identity if anyone suspects anything."

Nodding, I replied, "Well, just call me...Thunderbird. How's that sound?"

With a thumbs-ups from Winston. I walked out from his laboratory as he activated his call and talked with the girl, who was actually talking with a cute British accent, and I exited the old warehouse. As I got outside, I saw my scooter was completely trash by those soldiers when they got here. With a sigh, I pulled my trench coat off of my body, revealing a metallic chest piece over a black shirt with a small circle of electricity that glowed yellow in the night, arm guards coated with wires that connected the cable ships, now wrapped around my arms, to the chest piece, and a flat back-piece that didn't seem like much to the suit. I stretched my arms a bit, trying to get used to the durable arm-guards, and said,

"Well, the only way home seems to be...up!"

After saying this, I pushed a small button on my left wrist that caused the metallic back-piece to open up and reveal a pair of eagle-like wings made completely out of steel. They began to spark as the wings themselves suddenly were enveloped in electrical energy that caused me to lift slowly into the air. Holding my arms above me, I said to myself, "Up up and away", and I found myself flying through the air at around half of Mach 1, heading back home to prepare for my next mission now...as a Hero.

Not bad for an introduction, but I will say that Rick's origins will be revealed as the story progresses. Also, Rick's suit is a combination of Whiplash from Iron Man 2 and Falcon from Captain America:Winter Soldier, just to give you a picture. Pairings will be seen, but I'm debating over the story being either OCxTracer or . I'll most likely put up a poll and as the story pick ups, you can vote for which pairing you want to see and I'll write according to that. Please tell me what you think in the Reviews or just Favorite/Follow the story if you want more. Until the next chapter!

NEXT: Rick goes to England to secure a Human-Omnic relations rally and fights against a dangerous sniper with the help from a cute English time traveler(NOT DOCTOR WHO XD).
