Chapter 3: Brigitte, Reinhardt, and the Dragon

solarbird and bzarcher

The war is won. Oasis and the Concordat are at peace. Overwatch has been folded up again, this time made into an intelligence arm for Helix, under new - and the UN hopes better - leadership. The Gods are free - largely - to do as they will.

Brigitte discovers something impossible, something she never thought she'd ever see.

Reinhardt has seen the impossible before, and recognizes it.

Not all the hurt between our opposing sides no longer at war dates from that war, or even from what happened in London.

Some of it started further back - years earlier, in fact.

Reinhardt, through Brigitte, encounters someone he thinks he knew but never did, and someone else he once knew very well.

After so much time spent on opposite sides of an unwanted war, some of the opponents will find each other again afterwards, in a time of peace, but this time either as victors, or as the defeated.

These are some of those stories.

But the Great Game never ends, not even with victorious Gods - it merely changes. And as the dust settles, old players begin feeling out their new positions - and questioning their old relationships.

It took news of Pharah and Mercy's daughter - and the defeat of Overwatch - to bring Ana Amari to Oasis. But now that she's there, Moira O'Deorain has something she feels duty bound to let her know.

The war is won; spring - a slippery thing - has come at last to Russia. The snows have melted, with only remnants left to clean away. Overwatch has been folded up again, this time made into an intelligence arm for Helix, under new - and the UN hopes better - leadership. Oasis is again at peace, with the Gods free to do largely as they will.

In the midst of all these great actions, of these large shifts of state, a single person can be very small, and difficult to find, no matter how urgently that person may need to be found.

Overwatch - or what is left of it - is at war with the Gods of Oasis. Russia is in a parallel war with itself, Katya Volskaya's government against the popular uprising led by the Aleksandra Zaryanova, the Goddess of Russia. As winter set in, Zarya's March to Moscow slowed to a crawl, held, waiting for a change in the weather.

But now, it is spring - a slippery thing, in Russia, but still inevitable - and the time for waiting is over.

But with Jesse McCree having upset a precarious balance, Lena, Hana, and Sombra have intervened in Russia's rising civil war, and the fragile peace between Overwatch and Oasis has been shattered.
