Borrowed Time (BrigittexMaleReader)

Chapter 1 - Recalling the times

Y/N: "Mum... Dad..." you manage to get out with you balling your eyes out, She looks up at you.

Mom: "Y/N... is that you?" she barely gets the words out as she wipes away the tears on your cheek.

Y/N: "I'm here Mum, what can I do?" as you try to pry them free from the debris, but to no avail it doesn't budge, You hear a whimper from your father. 

Dad: "Son, you have to get out of here, keep the Z drive safe, find a way to get to Brigitte, you will be safe with her" you can do nothing but stand there in disbelief. 

Y/N: "But I need to save you guys, I can get you out of here" you exclaim with tears still filling your eyes as you begin tugging at the boulders of rubble surrounding them knowing fully well you are powerless in this situation.

Dad: "Please save yourself, you are more than enough to make a change in the world, find somewhere to run and don't stop running" He says coughing  with the smoke filling his lungs, before you could respond a blue blur blinks past, a full figure of this character revealed in the entry to the workshop. 

???: "Let me get you to a safe place love, take my hand" you hear the figure say as you turn back to your parents.

Mom: "My little Y/N, don't let anyone discredit your work, always look to turn the tides and prove them wrong" The final words your mother manages to get out before passing out and head collapsing to the floor from blood loss. 

Dad: "Now go Y/N, we will always be proud of you" your father says as the building starts to collapse, with tears flooding your eyes the figure from behind you grabs your arm and pulls you out of the stairwell as the entrance to the workshop collapses, eyes full of disbelief you pull at the chunks of concrete to try and get back to them, hands now grazed and bleeding from the concrete rubble from your worthless efforts.

You hear footsteps approach behind you. 

???: "I'm sorry for your loss love, but we need to get you away from here, Ill take you to my comrades" It comes to your attention that this figure is no ordinary soldier but rather an agent of Overwatch, Tracer was her name, you never noticed with your mind in a panic, eyes still full of tears, looking back at the rubble that once was your home then back at her, one thought came to your mind recalling what your father said as you walked with Tracer 

Y/N: "I will make you guys proud, Mum and Dad".

Still being in a devastated state by, Tracer gets you in contact with her team who are in the middle of their response to the invasion of Null sector, that's what they were referred to as, "I need to find Brigitte" You blurt out in a panic, a man in a suit of steel then turns to you. 

Man in armor: "You know Brigitte? You must be that kid she would spend all the time with back at Gibraltar" Tracer then chimes in 

Tracer: "Brigitte is with her family in Sweden, well all of her family but this one" she points to a short man in the distance with a long blonde beard and a metal claw for an arm. She goes on to explain "That's Torbjörn, her father and well known builder of the iron clad family" You stand there in awe of even their presence in London. 

Y/N: "What do you want me to do?" you question as they get ready to move, the man in the steel armor looks at you.

Reinhardt: "I am Reinhardt by the way, as for what you can do? We will have you patched up by Dr Ziegler here and send you to Gibraltar while we clean up here" You then nod and thank Reinhardt as Dr Ziegler turns to you. 

Mercy: "Lets get you patched up shall we? Also you can call me Mercy". 

Y/N: You nod and ask "Do you know when I will be able to talk to Brigitte?" She sighs in response. 

Mercy: "Probably not for a while, Brigitte is in training to become an Overwatch agent like her godfather Reinhardt over there, but you two will meet again eventually" You then think to yourself as she finishes patching you up.

Y/N: "I wonder if she will even remember me" Tracer chiming in and reassuring your thoughts. 

Tracer: "Don't worry too much love, Brigitte is busy but I'm sure you two will find time to talk once this is all over" With that note she signals Reinhardt, Torbjörn and Mercy to head out. 

You stand there waving them off as a dropship takes you out of the city, the last thoughts you have before passing out of exhaustion are of gazing down at what was once your home, now turned into a battleground, but you will return, coming back stronger than ever.

Arriving at Gibraltar you don't recognize it at all, but you have memories deep down that arise to the surface of what it used to be.

Winston: "You must be the kid Tracer was telling me about" You turn around to see a big gorilla "I am Winston, we've met before but its been a hot minute, give or take a couple years" He says, you have vague memories of him but the recognition is there. "Anyways, to get to your room, head down this hall and its on the left at the very end" He says joyfully, You turn to him. 

Y/N: "Thank you Winston, it means a lot" you say, he waves you off with a smile as you make your way down the hall, all these doors labelled with the names of Overwatch agents until you reach the end of the hall and notice a door with "Brigitte" on it but you played it off for now, entering your room there's a single bed with a window, mini fridge, air conditioner and even a fully laid out kitchen. You say to yourself "I wish i could've done more" as you lay down on your bed, eyes aimed straight at the roof thinking about what the future possibly holds for you.

That's it for the first chapter despite it being a tiny bit rushed, I hope I did a good enough job to explain Y/N's past and leave out for speculation his potential motivations to change outcomes of battles and fates in the future, This being his introduction to Overwatch and the process of becoming an Overwatch agent. Next chapter is a time skip and should be explaining more around what he has been up to during the time skip between now (The Past) and the recall made by Winston (Takes place after the events of Null sector attack on Paris). Please leave any speculations, criticisms and motivation in the comments and I'll be sure to look at them :P
