The Beginning Part 4

The Beginning part 4

Kaaru and the boy are walking through the desert, their car broken down and their destination 15 miles away. 

“Where are we going Mcada?” He asks and she hums. 

“Well, We’re tryin ta get to Arazonia, which is 15 miles north. Across this desert unfortunately.” She says and he cringes. 

“Can I hear more of the story as we walk?” He asks and she smiles a bit. 

“Sure thing Jesse.” She says.

~storytime~

Mccree and Hanzo stare at the girl in front of them. They can’t believe their ears! There was no possible way she was one, telling the truth, and two, even possible if it was true. 

“I don’t hear any questions.” She says, looking expectantly at them.

“How?” They ask in sync and she nods. 

“Okay, not the best question I’ve been asked by the two of you from any point in time but whatever.” She shrugs. “I have a similar ability to Lena’s blinking. But instead of just going back a few moments, I can go back entire years. I collect intel but because I’m currently grounded by you in 2093 I’m technically supposed to use any of my abilities.” She says as Toby grabs her holo-album.

“Why should we believe you?” Hanzo asks as Mccree tries to process he’ll have a daughter in the future. 

“Alright alright, better questions already.” She nods as she opens the album and swipes through photos before bringing up one of Mccree and Hanzo with a little girl in a kiddy pool in the backyard of a little house on the treeline. “This was when I was 4. Genji took the picture.” She says.

“Pictures can be faked.” Hanzo huffed. 

“Fair point. Hold on. I have something that might help.” She says, digging into her pocket.

“What are you doing?” Hanzo frowns at her. 

“Looking for a note you gave me.” She says. 

“What good will a note do you?” Mccree asks. 

“It has a bunch of your secrets listed on it.” She says and Hanzo rolls his eyes, taking a drink of his coffee. 

It takes her a little while but she finds it and Mccree looks at Hanzo worriedly. He simply rolls his eyes again.

“Mccree can’t dance without stepping all over his partners feet.” She says, making him flush. 

“Only Reaper knows that. And he can be bribed.” He says looking away.

“Hanzo can’t swim.” She says and Hanzo chokes on his coffee.

“Y-You could have found that out from Genji.” He says insistently.

“Mccree is a Narcolept. Hanzo an Insomniac.” She says, not looking at the note. "I know that one from experience." She says as Mccree looks at Hanzo, starting to believe her. 

"Everyone knows that." Hanzo insists. 

"Fine, I'll tell you something you don't even know yet. You're wedding is tomorrow because Mccree is going on a 2 month mission to Siberia to track down talon agents left in that part of the world. And he already knows." She says and Mccree looks at her shocked. 

"Only Morrison knows that." He says and Hanzo looks at him.

"Why were you keeping that from me? You promised to be honest with me at the beginning of our relationship." Hanzo hisses.

"He planned to tell you tonight but I beat him to it." She shrugs, suddenly sipping from a tea cup.

"Darlin I didn't know what ta do. I was just tryna figure out the right words ta explain myself." Mccree says, pleading with the fire in Hanzo's eyes. 

Hanzo looks to the girl with a deep scowl. She knows it well as the teacup disappears and toby barks at him. 

"Why are you here?" He insists from her.

"I'm here to write a report on my birth." She says simply, causing them to go into shock again.

~reality~

Jesse looks at Mcada skeptically.

"Time travel? Now that's impossible." He says, causing her to laugh.

"Maybe right now but this story is based in the future." She says as they stop at a little tree to sit under until dark.

"Then how do you know it?" He asks.

"That's another long story entirely." She laughs. "Go ahead and sleep some kid, we're walking all night." She says and he nods, leaning on the tree.

"Goodnight Mcada." He mumbles and she smiles a bit.

"Night, Jesse." She says softly, keeping watch.
