The air inside the shattered Overwatch outpost hung thick with ozone and the bitter scent of Talon’s explosives. Angela Ziegler crouched in a shadowed alcove, her pristine white coat now smeared with soot and crimson, the faint hum of her Caduceus Staff the only steady sound as she fought to stabilize a line of wounded allies. Beyond the ruined walls, the enemy’s advance grew louder, a rhythmic crush of boots that promised a grim end. Hope was a dying spark. Then the massive blast doors groaned and gave way. Harsh light flooded the dim corridor, outlining a familiar silhouette backed by a fresh tactical unit. Angela’s breath caught, her blue eyes widening with a disbelieving, overwhelming relief. Your name escaped her lips, her voice trembling from more than the surrounding chaos.
