Updates on sat now, sorry

I woke up to my ringtone. Thinking it was just my alarm, I picked up my phone with the intent of hitting the snooze button and going back to sleep. But, it was a text from Craz.

(C: Czar ; E: Emma)

C: Morning sunshine.

E: Very funny Czar.

C: Anyway, congrats on getting in. Looks like I’m going to have to get used to calling you Siren now huh?

E: I guess.

E: Craz what did you do. You pull this shit when you’ve fucked up.

C: I might’ve told Tracer and Ana that you were an agent now.

E: God fucking dammit.

C: Sorry Emma. I also told Saturn.

E: Who the fuck is Saturn?

C: Trenton’s call sign.

E: Oh. He told me he found out while looking through the Agent database.

C: Okay.

C: So now you're a healer?

E: Yep.

C: I remember my first days here. They always needed healing, even when they were at full health. Sometimes, it’s still like that.

E: Really?

C: Really. You're going to be very tired and frustrated for a while.

E: …

C: Anyways, I have paperwork and you have training.

E: Bye then.

I Turned off my phone, rubbed my eyes and yawned. Then I got up and took a shower. After that, I went into my closet and changed into a light gray t-shirt, black jeans, and my uniform boots. I braided my hair, and put my goggles on my head. Then I went out of the door to go to the Training Arena.

When I showed up however, I noticed the lack of people there. The were about 9 trainees, not Including myself. They were politely chatting with each other. After staring awkwardly for a couple minutes, I introduced myself. They were very comforting and welcomed me with open arms.

“ Alright, training is in session!” a feminine voice said kindly. We whipped around, now listening intently, some also saluting her. She waved them off with a motherly smile;

“ There’s now need for vat right now.” Now was I able to get a better baring of my surroundings. The only thing that was different was that they were 4 people standing behind her. I could tell who most of them were, like Ana and Czar. Then I finally noticed something about her.

“ Blonde hair, blue eyes. Wait, holy shit it’s Mercy. Goddammit brain why didn’t you recognize her earlier?” I thought, now internally screaming, with a bit of fangirling. “ She’s a total legend!”

“ I realized you must be confused as to why you don’t see very many of you here. I got the report that some people have not completed the placement exam correctly” she said, with an almost undetectable shiver, then added, “ But as you might not know yet, you have been sorted into the support class. Have you been told yet?” We quickly nodded, then she spoke again.

“ Every week on Thursday you’ll have large group training. Monday through Wednesday is individual training. Friday and the weekend are your days off.”

“ And here’s where I come in Angela” Craz interrupted. He then paused for a minute, then explained, “ Today we’ll figure out what weapon you’ll use later on the battlefield.”

“ I’ll take that one. You can fight over whose left to take.” And piped up, with her arm wrapped around Craz's shoulder, and a finger pointing at me.

Then I heard quiet whispers from the others.

“ Is she the one they were pointing at?” one said.

“ Is she the one whose friends with Saturn?” the other whispered back.

“ That’s the guy with the rings right?” another person joined in saying.

“ Her name’s Emma right?” one said in a slightly jealous tone.

“Alright, please come with me now” Ana instructed, making her way to the practice range. I followed, trying to ignore the stares I was getting.

Sorry for the late update and no update last week

Trenton and Cass were started playing beer pong with whiskey. Trenton sucked at beer pong and Cass was awesome, but Trenton is a heavyweight.

Trenton, Cass and Czar started a shots match. After a few hours, Trenton got wasted. He’s currently flirting with Mei, while Ana and I are snickering in the corner.

“ So, should we help them?” I said, as Trenton was trying to get Mei’s phone number. Even though he already has her in his contacts.

“ Come on-” he tried to say, but hiccuped. “Cutie-pie give me your digits.” Mei turn extremely red. (not like it wasn’t red already.)

“ Yeah. I’ll take care of Cass” The woman, who told me to call her Ana, said, while referring to my passed out drunk roommate.

“ Okay Trenton, you’ve had enough.” I said, while trying to pry him off of Mei.

“Je ne suis pas ivre, vous stupide pute” He said in french I guess. [Trenton said “ I am not drunk, you stupid whore”].

“Trenton, vous avez mangé un putain de chaussure!” I yelled, but nobody understood what I said. Everyone except Trenton. [I said “ Trenton you have eaten a fucking shoe”. I had meant to say “Trenton you have had fucking enough”]

“Se faire baiser et vous ne savez même pas parler Français. Quoi, avez-vous utilisé google translate, vous stupide pute.” He said to me. [He said “Get fucked and you don't even know how to speak French. What, did you use google translate, you stupid whore.”]

I started going off on him, until, well, I realized he had past out drunk when I started talking.

“ I’m going to go.” Mei said, kiss Trenton on the cheek, then left the dorm.

“ I guess the party’s over,” Lena said “ Bye luv” soon after that she left.

Then Ana grabbed him by the shirt and dragged him into the guest room, followed by Craz.

I finally had a moment to breathe since the incident. I let my hair down, changed my clothes into a big t-shirt and shorts, and grabbed 2 wine glasses, and poured what was left of the red wine into one.

Then the door to the guest room opened, revealing a tired Ana. she sat down, and poured wine into the other glass.

“Well, that just happened.” I sighed as I took a sip, then turning on Netflix.

I woke up on the couch to the smell of bacon, potatoes, and eggs. I got up from the couch and saw Trenton making breakfast with a resting bitch face and Craz was behind him making pancakes. Then I heard hurling from the bathroom.

“ Feel like shit?” I said, getting the plates out.

“ Yeah, what did I do last night?” he asked, putting the egg hash on the plates.

“ Well,” I answered,” You were heavily flirting with Mei and trying to get her number”

“ Oh.”

“ I wasn't done. You also called me a whore in french when I tried to pull you away from her, and Ana had to step in to actually get you off. In short terms, you were a dick.”

“ Crap, Sorry. By the way, they postponed training. You have 2 hours to get ready.”

“ Okay. But who’s throwing up?” I said, making my way to the bathroom.

“ It’s Cass. She’s done hurling, It’s safe.” Trenton said and sat down next Craz. They started talking to each other. I couldn’t hear them though.

“What are you talking about” I asked

“Private stuff” Craz said quietly.

“Okay” I said Trenton got up and took his and Craz’s plates and rinsed them off.

“Bye” Trenton said. Him and Craz left.

When I finished breakfast, I made my way to the bathroom. When I opened the door however, the room heavily smelled like puke. I immediately grabbed the can of Lysol from the cupboard under the sink, and sprayed the bathroom until I could barely breathe from the overbearing smell of the Lysol. I gagged, then I opened the door so the smell could air out.

When it was done airing out, and I was done cleaning the bathroom, I whipped out my phone to take a look at the time.

“ 7 O’clock” I thought, “ I have an hour”

I went back into the bathroom, and sighed with content. I grab my Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash and go into the shower.

I was washing my hair, and somehow thought back to getting into Overwatch.

Codename: Siren

Real Name: Emma Adler

Nationality: American

Class: To be determined

Class: To be Determined

“ Wait, why did it say ‘ To be Determined’?” I thought.

“ Siren, you have 45 minutes!” Cass yelled, probably waiting outside the door.

I step outside, cover myself with a towel, and open the door.

“ Today you have Training with the other recruits, and your instructor is a woman who goes by Zarya. You also take the Class Placement Test and get assigned a weapon.” a tired, yet unfazed Cass told me.

“ Class Placement Test? ”

“ The class placement test is what you take to find out your Class, or group. There are four Main Classes; Offense, Defense, Tank, and Support. After you get sorted, training is personalized for what Class you got into.” Cass answered.

I went into my room when she was done talking. It was the way I left it for the most part. But, I saw some boxes that lied on my bed and a note.

‘ Sorry I was a dick. I apologized to Mei. Anyways, your uniform is in the boxes along with something else. ‘ -Trenton

I grabbed the boxes and sat on my bed. It had a denim jacket with fleece inside and the overwatch logo on one of the pockets, a dark gray tank top, cargo pants, and a pair of combat boots.

“ Wasn't there-” I was about to finish my sentence when I saw a smaller box inside the box that had the boots.

I open it and it contained a pair of battlefield goggles, and another note.

“ Because you have piss-poor vision, and you can’t bring your glasses on missions.” — Trenton

“ Very funny” I said to myself, but still put on the outfit. I put my hair into a messy bun, and put the goggles on my head.

I made my way out of the room, and I was greeted by a crying Cass. I was in a hurry, so I couldn’t console her. I made my way to the Training arena, and at the door I was greeted by an intimidating woman with pink, spiked hair, and a deep scar running along her forehead. She was staring me down at me for what felt like for eternity.

“ Codename?” she loudly asked with a heavy Russian accent.

“ Siren” I tried to say unaffected, but came out as a very low whisper.

“ Jesus Zarya, get off her ass” a voice behind her said. It was Craz.

“ Thank god “ I thought, relieved.

They were having their own private conversation in Russian, I presume, until Zarya instructed me to go into the training area. I swiped my card to go in, and the trainees that were chatting whipped their heads at me.

“Attention!” Craz bellowed at the trainees, who were now listening intently.

“ First is the Battle Simulation Test, Also known as The class Placement Test. We’ll temporarily assign roles and see how you do.” Zarya explained to the now internally screaming recruits.

“ First off, Offense”

We were tasked to escort the payload, and already people were failing. Me and 1 other person actually completed the test.

“ Next, Defense”

We were told to do this time to keep the area, or point, controlled by our side. We did better, but people still went off to “ show off their skills “ and get solo kills.

Czar sighed, then took the trainees that went off aside. They were told to pack.

“ Now We’ll put you in a mock mission to see what role you naturally take.“ Czar said, a bit groggily. It was getting late, as it was 7pm.

We were deployed to Kings Row. We were to escort the payload, which looked like an enormous rocket. It was going as planned, EVERYONE ON THE FUCKING OBJECTIVE, when we were jumped by a tire that was heading straight for us. A man that went by Steven went in front of us, absorbing the damage, so we wouldn’t get hurt. I immediately rush to his side, health pack in hand.

“ You need to take better care of yourself” I scolded when he was back to full health.

In the end, we earned a victory. My team members were ecstatic, picking each other up and swinging each other around. Even Steven picked me up, but I immediately told him to put me down.

We walked back to the training area like tired, dying animals.

“ Excellent Job recruits. Results will be ready tomorrow. Dismissed” Craz said, barely keeping himself awake.

I was walking down the hallway to my dorm when I got a text from Zarya.

(Z=Zarya; E=Emma)

Z: Hey

E: Hey

Z: So I noticed your performance in training today

E: …

E: Did I do something wrong?

Z: No, not at all. Craz and I were talking, and we saw you was a medic-in training.

E:...

Z: Your excellent performance at keeping Agent Steven and the rest of your team alive strengthened our idea.

E: Thank you ma’am.

Z: You looked exhausted when you're dismissed. Get some rest.

E: Got it. Night.

And put my phone back in my jacket’s pocket. I opened the door, and everything was dead quiet.

“ Cass must be asleep by now.” I thought as I took off my boots at the door, and put my jacket on the coat hanger. I quietly made my way to my room to change into a tank top and shorts. With my goggles still on my head, I sat back down on the couch.

I pulled out my phone, and went on Tumblr for a bit. I was scrolling through my dashboard, until I got a text from Trenton.

(T=Trenton; E= Emma)

T: You on Tumblr again?

E: Yeah. What are you doing at 10:30 pm?

T: Just got done with paperwork.

E: Oh.

T: How was your first day of training?

E: Tiring. A bunch of people surprisingly don’t know what the objective is.

T: I know. Was the same when I was training.

T: Did they give you your electronic I.D. yet?

E: No. I think we get it when they assign our class.

T: Hmm. I checked your profile in the overwatch database. You're a medic now?

E: Yeah. Zarya texted me about it not that long ago.

T: Cool. Only 200 out of 593 recruits will become soldiers in arms, and only about 10 will become medics.

E: Cool.

E: Hey, I’m signing off for now.

T: K, bye.

I exited out of Messenger and shut off my phone. Then I passed out on the couch.

Siren’s Story

Once we made our way to the front desk again, the secretary wasn't there. “Hey, let’s go talk to Mei” Trenton suggested with a cute smile. “ Hey, Luv! Who’s this?” A woman with a thick British accent I didn’t recognize said to Trenton. “Lena, this is Emma.” Trenton said, introducing her to me. Taking a couple moments to register what he said, she smiled cheerfully. “ So you must be the recruit Trenton keeps talking about. My name’s Lena Oxton, but you can call me Tracer.” “Yeah, yeah, yeah” Trenton said not listening “where’s Mei?” “ Oh, she’s out on a mission. I’ll show you where to go.” “Lena can you take Emma, I have mountains of paperwork to do.” Trenton said. “Alright, I’ll take her” Trenton walked away, then Lena whispered in my ear “I think he has a crush on Mei.” “ Don’t tell anyone I told you this, but, when I met her for the first time her face went beet red around him.” “I know it’s so cute.” Tracer squealed like a fan girl. “ How about we try to get them together?” I said. “Yeah, let's call it operation ‘bang, bang’” She said. “ What the fuck Lena.” I said laughing. “L-M-F-A-O” She said laughing, then she blinked away. “ Well, she wasn't much help, was she?” A voice said behind me. I turned around, and I saw a woman with red hair, and deep brown eyes, holding a cigarette. “ My name’s Cass. Now,” she added, putting the cigarette out, “ The higher ups told me I was finally getting a roommate. And from what I just heard, you’re the one they were talking about” The woman, who I know now as Cass, said to me. “ My name’s Emma. Emma Adler.” I said “Hmm, well, I’ll show where you sleep” Then she pointed to a doorway “Follow me” She opened the door to an OK sized living room that connected to a dining room/ kitchen. There were 5 other doors. She pointed to the 2nd to last door “That’s your room, The last one is mine and the middle is a guest. Each one has a walk-in closet and personal bathroom. The first room is laundry/storage and the 2nd is another bathroom.” she said, picking up an ashtray that was beside her, and went inside her room. ` I take a better look around the living room, and I notice a picture that’s on the mantle. I pick it up, and I see what looks like a younger version of Cass with a baby that looked just like her. “They look so happy together. I wonder what happened.” I thought to myself. “Hmm I wondered what happened to them” I said accidentally out loud. “What, is there something you need” Cass said “Huh, no I don’t need anything” I said as she walked and saw the picture in my hands. “Oh, that’s Marco.” She said, like she didn’t want to talk about it. She took the picture set it on the mantle like before. “ Training starts tomorrow at 7am.” “Oh, good, that going to be…” I was interrupted by a knock at the door. “Wonder that is.” It was probably Trenton. But when I opened the door, It was Trenton with his arm around a shoulder of a Human sized tomato (aka Mei). Trenton’s roommate and Tracer were behind them. He’s isn’t very talkative mostly talks to Trenton. His name is Czar, he’s from Russia, but people call him Craz. “Hello, Emma are you settling in well” Trenton said “Mei and I brought some gifts and party supplies” In their hands were some shopping bags. Then he whispered to me that he had brought my whiskey.(Me and Trenton’s fav. liquor) In their hands were some shopping bags. “Hey, Emma” Tracer said Mei finally said “Hey, Emma” “You wouldn't believe how long it took to get her in my car” He said smiling with a huge grin. “Are you gonna let us in” He said with a pout. So I let them in, and they sat on the couch next to each other. “ Holy crap Emma, what’s with the fuckin’ noise?” Cass said, on her laptop and an ashtray on her side. “ Cass, we have guests.” I slightly yelled at her. “ Let me guess-” she said, but stopped. We got everything set up, we heard another knock at the door. Cass went and opened the door, and she let in Tracer, and another woman I couldn’t recognize. The woman had silver hair in a braid, kind brown eyes, and an unusual tattoo on her eye. They came with red wine, rum, tequila and Vodka, with Cass kindly thanked them, and putting them up in a cooler in the kitchen. “ It’s an honor to meet you Captain Amari.” Trenton said, saluting the woman. “ Wait. The Captain Amari? She died, didn’t she?” I thought, confused. “ The others are on a mission or to busy with paperwork.” Tracer said, though I didn’t notice her till now. I hadn't realized I’ve been staring too long when the Arabic woman came towards me and holds out her hand. “ So, you’re Siren.” “ Yes ma’am “ “ there’s no need to be so serious around us anymore” she said, then added, “ Overwatch is your family now.”

Siren’s Story

It had been two weeks since that, and Trenton and I are still packing. Jesus Christ, you never know if you need to let go of some stuff until you try to tetris it into moving boxes.

“Wait, doesn’t that mean we’ll live on base together?” I asked while taking a break.

“ Sometimes, you know, we might be deployed to different bases. Besides, I already have a roommate.” he answered.

After 3 hours, we heard my doorbell ring. Trenton opened the door, and he saw one of the moving vans in my driveway.

“ Well, are you guys ready?” I said, while looking out of the door as well.

“Yeah, time to play tetris, bitches!” Trenton said, grabbing a box that was labeled ‘electronics’.

“ Really, Trenton. Just fuckin’ really.” I said tying my hair into a messy bun, and grabbing another box labeled ‘ramen noodles’ (Don’t judge me).

“ Come on, you know that was funny.” Trenton said with a sly smile.

“ Uh-huh. Sure it was.” I said sarcastically, trying to hide the fact that I smiled when he did that.

“If comedy was a person I’d be that person.” He said

...

I had been another 3 hours, and we were finally done.

“ Okay. You guys can follow us, we’ll be in a Rav4” Trenton said, pointing to my car. “I’m driving!”

“Yeah, like hell I’m going to let you drive again after last time” I shuddered.

“I only almost hit 1 person, jeez”

“No, like 5”

“Fine, you win”

We got in, and I handed Trenton a Coke. I backed out of the driveway, and we were finally on our way.

We were going to the reserved parking for Staff, but when we pulled up, the paparazzi was EVERYWHERE. As soon as they saw us, they swarmed our car and the moving vans.

Trenton Yelled “Get off ya lazy bums” in his slight Boston accent.

One reporter heard him, and they, confused, backed out. After hearing this go down, the rest of the paparazzi back off as well.

“That worked” I asked confused, but not surprised.

Siren’s Story

(Reader’s POV)

“You have to do it!” someone said that but, I couldn’t see who said it “ Agent, you have to kill him! Just do it!”

The voice was coming from nowhere, but yet everywhere. “Agent down! Agent down!” I heard my own voice say. “Stay with us, please!”

I heard random voices yell: “ MAN DOWN!” ,“Emma”, “MAN DOWN!”

...

“ Emma get your lazy ass up.” I woke up with a jolt and saw Trenton towering beside my bed, obviously annoyed. “ You need to get up, you have your job interview today and you're going to be late.”

“ wut.” “wait…” “SHIT!” I took a look at my clock and I had about 10 minutes to get ready, so I just threw on an outfit quick, got a toaster strudel, grabbed my phone, and headed out of the house to get into my car and headed to (hopefully) my new job.

...

I pulled up to the security checkpoint in 5 minutes. “ Full name, I. D, and purpose of visitation please.” The security guard, obviously bored said to me at my arrival.

“ My name’s Emma Adler, and I’m here for a job interview” I answered as I handed over my Driver’s License.

They took about 30 seconds before they said “ you’re clear” he said as I went past him,he perked up and said suddenly “oh, and good luck, too.”

I was able to get to the Base in three minutes. Nice job, Emma. You got your lazy ass up and ready in 5 minutes, Record. I thought to myself. I quickly walked over to the receptionist. “ Oh, she’s out on her lunch break ” a bright voice said to me. When I didn’t say anything she continued, “My names Mei, Mei-Ling Zhou.”

“Emma, Emma Adler.” I said probably like a soldier. Okay Emma, Make good first impressions. I thought to myself.

“Oh, you must be the recruit. I’ll take you to the interviewing room” Mei answered.

As Mei and I made our way down a hallway, we started to talk again.

We were almost on our way over to the Interview room, A voice behind stopped us.

“Hey.” And just like that, Mei’s face went beet red. I turned around, and I saw Trenton.

“ Hey man, how’s it going?” I answered with slight anxiety.

“Don’t worry, you’re going to do great.” Trenton said with a quirky smile, oblivious to Mei’s blushing.

“ Umm Emma, it’s time to go.” Mei interjected, with her face looking down, even redder than before, if that was possible.

“ Well, I have some paperwork to do, Bye Emma.” He said, walking away from us. “See you later Mei”

She shot him a quick glance and said “Bye”, then she put her head back down ‘til he was gone.

We were standing at the door when I said “ Thanks for showing me where to go.”

“Your welcome.” She answered as she entered the code to open the door.

I added, “ Don’t worry, I won’t tell Trenton you have a thing for him.” I whispered as I got my papers ready and went inside.

I walk in the room and I notice a very short, but stoic woman sitting at a desk, probably working on paperwork.

“So you must be Ms. Adler, are you not?” the woman said, a bit uptight.

“Yes ma’am.” I answered, a bit more anxious than before.

Alright then, please take a seat.” she said, pointing to the leather chair in front of her. When I sat down she said,

“ Alright, first I need your copy of your application papers.” When I handed them over, she added “ Oh yeah, I need your I. D. as well for your background check.”

She started looking at my papers, nodding here and there, then she started asking me questions:

“ Full Name?” she questioned.

“ Emma Brooke Adler” I answered.

“ Nationality?” she asked,

“United States” I replied.

She looked at my papers, then reached for something under her desk.

She pulled out a little plastic card, then she held it out in her hand.

“Nice to meet you Siren” she added with a cheerful smile “Welcome to overwatch.”

I stare down at the tiny piece of plastic in my hands,

Codename: Siren

Real name : Emma Adler

Affiliation: Overwatch

Nationality : American

Class : To be determined

“ Oh yeah. That cards are what lets you in doors temporarily until we assign you a class, and roommate. The higher ups will eventually give you an electronic card.” She said breaking me out of my daze.

“ Siren we are now comrades, my name is Ruby.” said Ruby and held out her hand for me to shake. I shook her hand, and as I was getting up to leave, she said,

“You should head home to grab stuff from home for moving day. You have two weeks.”

I nodded, and headed out the door. I sighed, put up my long hair into a ponytail, and made my way down the hallway. Everyone was either in their dorms or went home by now except Trenton, who was waiting around the corner.

“Told you, you could do it.” he said as I stopped by him. “I’ll take you home.” Trenton said as we were in the parking lot.

I got home, took off my heels that were killing me, and made my way to my room.

It’s been a long day. I thought to myself as I sprawled across my bed.
