The Beginning part 6

Kaaru pants as she stops at a tree, the sun starting to rise.

“Ya had ta choose the largest hill.” She says as Jesse plops down beside her. 

She sits down and sighs, Jesse curled up in the serape to hide from the rising sun.

“Yeah yeah. I’m tired.” He groans. 

She huffs and lays down, tired too. 

“Ya want more story?” She asks and he nods with a little groan.

~storytime~

Hanzo hums as he thinks of questions that may be able to be asked of the girl without screwing with the timeline. 

“Which language were you brought up in? Japanese or English?” Mccree asks and she looks away.

“Neither actually. My first language is ASL.” She says as Toby licks her cheek. 

“What? Why?” Hanzo asks, confused why they would do that and not teach her to speak their languages.

“Y-You’ll find out once I’m born.” She says and they nod. “Any other questions?” 

“How old are you?” Hanzo asks.

“Almost 16. I think. Time is a little funny for me.” She says as Toby hops down and tugs her pant leg of her pajamas. “And it’s my bedtime. Good night you two. I’ll see you and your younger doubles from 15 ish years ago in the morning.” She says, waving to the highly confused men as Toby waddles behind her.  

They go to bed, curious what she meant by younger doubles and come morning people are running around freaking out. 

Except for the girl. She looks absolutely calm and collected, like she expected it to happen.

“Hey kid, what’s goin on?” Mccree asks, yawning as he puts on his prosthetic arm for the day, having taken it off so he wouldn’t get Hanzo cold. 

“New arrivals. 22 year old Jesse Mccree and 23 year old Hanzo Shimada. They’re both passed out from the sudden time jump in the infirmary.” She shrugs. 

“What are ya talkin about? I’m 37 and very much awake.” He says and she laughs. 

“Sorry no but they’re your younger self, being brought here by the major time table event that’s going to happen. It’s a fixed point in time and enable for it to work 2 versions of the people that will be majorly affected within the past and future 20 years will come and be put through an experiment they won’t remember to create the thing that will change the course of their present versions lives forever.” She says and Hanzo frowns at her, wearing a white kimono coincidently. 

“So you’re saying you brought them here.” He says and she nods. 

“Pretty much. Let’s go see em! I’ve only visited the past twice and both times you two acted like total cheese balls.” She smiles before making a mad dash to the infirmary.

“Total… cheese balls?” Hanzo asks, assuming it’s something that Mccree would say. 

“Don’t look at me like that Han.” Mccree frowns as they follow the girl to the infirmary. 

“Like what?” Genji asks, butting into the conversation as he starts to walk with them.

“Like I’m you.” Mccree says and walks faster as the doors to the infirmary are opened by the girl.

“Agent Mcada recognized. Access granted.” Athena chimes and Mccree and Genji stop dead in their tracks.

“What’s wrong?” Hanzo questions. 

“Agent Mcada was a friend of ours in BlackWatch. But she died during a raid.” Mccree shakes his head. 

“Incorrect my fine gentlemen! Now hurry yer butts up!” She says, poking her head out of the door. 

The three men go in, only to find a 23 year old man, who looks identical to how Hanzo did, yelling at a 22 year old man, who is identical to how Mccree did, in japanese, using foul language and hitting the younger with a hospital pillow.

The girl interjects and the young Mccree hugs her. 

“Mcada! How’s my time travelin future daughter doin?” He smiles widely. 

“Oh ya know, just a little older and a whole lot more grounded.” She smiles before the young Hanzo yanks her away from Mccree.

~reality~ 

Kaaru laughs a bit at her story before realising Jesse is already asleep. She smiles and turns over and dozes off herself with one final goodnight to the boy.
