The Beginning part 13

After Genji had managed to clean up Hana’s mess he headed down to the medbay where he found Winston in almost as many tears as the baby he’s most definitely holding wrong. 

“Oh lord. Okay, first of all, that’s not how you hold a baby.” He says, taking the screaming child from the struggling ape. “Second of all, you rock the baby, not shake it. Thirdly, this baby is a she, not an it.” He says, too busy ranting and demonstrating to notice the baby is completely silent.

The baby stares up at him with a curious face as he lectures Winston. 

“Genji... Genji. Genji!” Winston says, stopping the rant. “She stopped.” He points out, pointing at the child. 

Genji stops and looks at the curious child in his arms. The baby smiles at the green toaster of a man holding her. He sits down in one of the chairs with her and begins to tickle her, messing with her galaxy hair. 

“If I didn’t know any better I’d say she looks like the cowboy.” He chuckles, snickering at his own joke. “But how did she get into the base?” 

“I’m unsure. All I know is that Angela found her after my machine blew up. Again.”

Genji nods and starts to gently talk to the baby watching the glowing lights of his face mask. Meanwhile, Winston is tending to a headache that’s starting up. 

When Angela returns she is slightly shocked to see her boyfriend talking to the mystery baby she found. 

“Angela!” He smiles, looking up at her, the little girl in his arms reaching for his mask. 

“Genji. I’m surprised to see you. I thought you were spending the day with Hana.” She laughs and puts the things she bought down to take the baby from him. 

“I was until Winston called me because he couldn’t understand how to calm her. The baby.” He says as he gets up and takes his mask off. 

“I see. Her blood work should be done soon so we can find out who her parents are.” Angela says, laying the baby down and starting to put a diaper on her. 

“Then maybe we can find how she got into my lab.” Winston says, rubbing his head. 

Angela nods and dresses the baby in a plain pink onesie. 

“Genji, take her while I download the results of her blood work.” She says, handing the baby back to her boyfriend before sitting at her desk. 

The baby looks at Genji and gives a big smile, touching the scars on his face. Genji starts to tear up.

“Angela. Angela, she’s not scared of me.” He cries, feeling very attached to her.

Angela smiles warmly and opens the results up. She reads through them and writes some notes before stopping, dropping her pencil.

Winston notices and stands up.

“What is it?” He asks, thinking she found some sort of disease. 

“The baby is Agent Hanzo and Mccree’s.” She says softly in shock.

The Beginning part 10

~Last Time~

“She threw herself off the roof? Why?” Jesse asks.

“She was reminded of something bad in the past. But she’ll be alright.” Kaaru smiles as they continue their journey. 

~story time~

The girl sat alone, feeling horrible as her dog leaned on her. 

He whined softly and pat him softly, staring at the empty container of ice cream on the table in front of her. Toby licks the sticky melted ice cream off her hand as she pats his head, hopping onto the table to lick it off her cheeks as well. He even licks at the cast of her broken arm, making her smile softly before a large warm hand is set down on her shoulder.

She looks up in surprise to see the version of Mccree she grew up with smiling at her. 

“Was that ice cream any good at what it’s job?” He asks, sitting down next to her.

“no.” She mumbles, making him smile.

“Ya want some of your favorite feel better cookies?” He asks, putting Toby in his lap.

“The banana nut chocolate ones?” She asks, a little hopeful.

He nods and smiles. 

“Let’s get bakin.” He says and stands up, going into the kitchen. 

The girl follows sluggishly and sits on the counter like a toddler as she watches her dad bake her favorite cookies, Toby in her lap as she feels tired from straining herself.

“What happened ta yer arm?” He asks her as he bakes, not letting any sort of tone enter his voice.

“What happened to your face?” She retorts jokingly. “Ya used to be every fangirl’s living wet dream. Now ya look like everyone gay grandpa.” She adds, making him laugh. 

“Well, accordin ta your Otōsan, this gay grandpa looks as good as any other time in mah life.” He says proudly. 

“Then according to my depressing existence I fell and broke my arm before it was done healing from the first break.” She says and he looks at her. 

“Who said ya were depressin?” He asks and she waves it away. “Kaaru, what happened? Ya know you can talk to me.”

She mumbles and he steps closer.

“Kid, I can’t hear ya when ya mumble.” He says, trying to be gentle. 

“No one said I was depressing. I said I was and then tried to jump off a building.” She sighs. 

“Ya aren’t no one sweetheart. You’re my little girl. Ya kick names and take ass. You’re my legacy.” He says, sitting on the counter next to her. 

She sighs and leans on his shoulder until the cookies are done. 

“I’m so tired Papa.” She sniffs as he puts the cookies on the cooling rack. 

“Then once these are cooled, we’ll go and rest. How’s that sound?” He says and she nods. 

“Wait, we can’t go to my room, Otōsan is there.” She says, making him laugh. 

“We’ll use one of the spare rooms by the offices.” He says and she nods.

They get to an empty room and snack on cookies late into the night. 

~reality~

“Aww, that’s sweet.” Jesse says, making Kaaru laugh. 

“Yeah, it was. It’s my favorite part personally.” She says

“I wish all stories ended like that.” He huffs.

“That isn’t the end. Not yet kid. But, we’re close.” Kaaru chuckles.

The Beginning part 5

Come nightfall in the desert, Kaaru is loading her gun as she smokes a cigarette, a serape draped around her shoulders that she bought, the pattern and color much like her father's except brand new and untorn. Jesse snores next to her, still fast asleep. 

She's ready to kick him.

"Jesse, get your ass up." She says, flicking his nose.

He groans and turns over.

"I said, get up." She says, rolling him into the still hot sand.

He jumps up and pouts at her, rubbing the hot sand off his singed arm and face.

"We gotta move." She says, getting up and flicking her cigarette into the sand, starting to collect her bags.

“What for? The sand is still hot and when the sand’s hot, the snakes are out.” He says, shivering at the thought of the animal.

She thinks for a minute, looking over the desert. 

“My father once taught me somethin about that. He and I had awful fears of snakes when I was little so when he took me on a campin trip out inta the desert, he showed me a snake nest. At nightfall, they all were borrowin inta the sand to keep warm. No snakes bothered us at dusk or all night.” She says. “And they won’t here neither. Them snakes are borrowin in for the night. And if we do happen upon one, I’ll shoot it before you can say “tickle me silly till i’m blue in the face, the checkered flag is mine i’ll win this race”.” She smiles at him and he stares.

“Was that a NASCAR reference?” He asks in disbelief.

“Yeah? What of it?” She asks as they start to walk.

“Nothin’.” He says, looking away from her.

She chuckles.

~storytime~

Mccree looks at the girl in absolute disbelief. 

“I’m sorry, what?!” He asks as Hanzo tries to process the information he was just given.

“My birth, I have to write a report on it.” She says. “It’s for the lowlife of an ape that calls himself a scientist.” She adds, letting her anger for Winston seep into the conversation.

“Why do I get the feelin you don’t like him much?” Mccree asks. 

“Oh I don’t. He’s a selfish asshole who wanted to and did experiments on me as a child. But only during my lessons with him and after he had me kill-” She suddenly stopped, unable to physically say anymore. 

Hanzo looks at her, his attention perked at the last thing she said.

“Finish that sentence.” He says but she shakes her head, mouth shut tight. “I order you to tell us what you were saying!” He shouts.

“I can’t! It’s against the rules! If I do tell you then you’ll remember too much when I leave! Once I disappear, all you remember is my code name and that I once existed but everything else goes away! You won’t remember who I am or what I’m doing here! You won’t even remember the things I’ve already told you! And if I break the rules the entire timeline will be broken! I won’t exist.” She says and Mccree puts a hand on Hanzo’s knee.

“Darlin, we better listen to her.” He says, convinced she’s telling the truth. 

“Why are you believing a child? She has no proof of any of this!” Hanzo scowls at him. 

“You didn’t believe me when I proposed.” Mccree says with a bland and upset face. “Or Genji when he said he forgave you.” He adds, making Hanzo back down. 

“Fine. But I won’t believe her until she gives definitive proof.” He says and she shrugs.

“Would this count?” She asks, two purple dragons in her lap growling at the men, summoned from her adrenaline spike. 

She hushes them as they glare at Hanzo the most. 

“Shinpaishinaide. Kore wa kakodesu. Sore ga otōsandesu. Kare wa tada konran shite imasu.” She says in hushed Japanese to the dragons. (Don't worry. This is the past. That is Otōsan. He is just confused.) 

Hanzo is astonished.

“You have dragon spirits.” He says, shaking his head slightly.

“Yes. They appeared two months ago on my first mission.” She says.

“How are you born?” Mccree asks.

“I don’t know. You’ve never talked about it.” She shrugs.

~reality~

“She has dragons?” Jesse asks. 

Karru nods. 

“Yes. But that’s not even the best part.” She smirks. “But that’s enough for now. I’ll tell you more in a few hours.” She adds, putting her serape on him as he shivers. “Keep ahold ah that for me.” She smiles.
