The author has something to say: Enjoy!

Reyes walked alone in the streets of Dorado.The occasional hot and humid wind from the sea, wrapped in the cheerful sound of clarinets and pan flutes, accompanied by the rhythm of tambourine beating, is like a warm hometown welcoming a long-lost prodigal son.

Rarely have the people of Talon ever seen the face beneath his mask.Even if it is incomplete, after all, he can see his Latino ancestry at a glance.Living in the US Army and Overwatch all year round, his English is so standard that no one can tell that his mother tongue is actually Spanish.

"Dude, we're really lucky." Before going ashore, the black shadow said to him cheerfully: "It's Hanukkah these days, and there are people wearing masks to carnival everywhere. I don't have to worry about where to get it for you You're wearing a different outfit!"

It's as if I'll wear it when you get it, Death thought silently.

"After going ashore, I may have to meet with the people from the organization first." The black shadow looked at Reyes with some worry, paused for a moment, and summoned up the courage to say to him:

"Don't run around! If you cause any trouble, and you don't understand the language, it will be very troublesome."

Reyes was silent for a moment.Soi Ying didn't know if he acquiesced, or was secretly angry at her rude tone.

"I will try," said Death at last. "Don't worry, if it doesn't work, I still have Google Translate."

Even thinking about it now, Reyes couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.He had no intention of telling Sombra the truth, because even the god of death needs some private space occasionally.

He likes this city.Although he has left his hometown since he was a child, he, like all Latin American residents, loves music and this inclusive ocean.

He hasn't been back for a long time, so long that he has forgotten the taste of the famous local hot tacos.He originally wanted to show up quietly and squeeze into the lively crowd to buy one, but new electronic music is very popular these years, and almost every vendor is scrambling to compete with his own speakers.The noise was so loud that he had to give up the idea of ​​joining the carnival.

Just when he felt bored and was about to return to the meeting place where he had made an appointment with Sombra to continue waiting, an unusual voice came to his ears.

It was a soft female voice with a slight London accent.She stood in the center of the square, holding half a dozen assorted tortillas and corn sausages in her hand, and carrying a bag on her chest that was a bit bulky for tourists.She is not too tall, but when she started to sing, the voice seemed to have penetrating power, breaking through the chaos of various speakers, and reaching Reyes' ears directly:

"Green and green hills, the beauty is looking forward to,

Her eyes are like the deep sea, her appearance is unparalleled..."

Ah, it's an old song.thought Reyes.

Although he never saw her face, Reyes knew that the singer must be a foreign tourist.Occasionally, when someone came to strike up a conversation with her, she smiled and gave them food, and pulled the people around them to dance together.It's a pity that she didn't know anything about local Mexican dances, and she danced so unrestrainedly that it affected the queues of many booths and caused some small confusion.

Reyes saw several stall owners turn off their stereos and leave their stalls.Are they looking for trouble?Just for a non-malicious foreign tourist?

Unexpectedly, when they walked to the girl, they suddenly sang together with her:

"Hey hey hey--

Don't cry, don't be sad,

The singing takes you, and your mood is flying.

The sea sails, the blue sky soars,

Peace and joy, this is my hometown..."

Reyes gazed at the joyful crowd, as more and more joined in the singing.This is a classic Mexican folk song, catchy and known to all ages.Although it is a bit clichéd in normal times, there is nothing more suitable to sing in public than today, the day to celebrate the victory of the Omnic War.

He felt a little sad, which is a rare emotion for him.He has been carrying too much weight for the past 7 years to be able to detect these ordinary subtle emotions.But he also dreamed of the romance of the blue sky and the sea, and danced to the cheerful folk songs.Those days were too far away and beautiful, and it was incompatible with his current body of the living dead.But he was surprised to find that those memories never disappeared.

In his short life of more than 50 years, he shared this memory with only one person.

It was late at night, and only the necessary guard posts were left on the road in the training camp area.They saw Gabriel Reyes, recently promoted to lieutenant colonel, walking leisurely down the road and saluted him along the way.Reyes returned the salute one by one, he seemed to be in a particularly good mood today.

Ever since they lifted the library's 9:[-] p.m. closing limit, Reyes always likes to go to the study area at midnight.In this way, he can finish his evening training leisurely and take a hot shower.As for cultural courses... books don't run away on their own, do they?

Although this place is called a training camp area, it is actually a military academy.Reyes was no stranger to the military academy, but he was still somewhat dissatisfied with being transferred here from the front line of the battlefield.But he didn't expect that this short military academy training would bring him two surprises.

There are very few officers who have come to participate in this training program, and there are even fewer who will remain in the library at this time.But Reyes knew that the person he was looking for must be here.Before he came, he went to the other party's dormitory. The roommate said that he hadn't seen Jack Morrison all day.

Sure enough, just as he walked past the corner bookcase, he saw Morrison buried in his book in the corner.

"Hey, Captain America, do you want to catch up with the 70 years you have slept in by studying so hard?"

Morrison looked up.In order to save energy in the library at night, only a few lights are turned on.Morrison took a moment to adjust to the bright light before seeing Reyes' face coming from the darkness.

"What time is it?" He gave a weary smile.Reyes walked over slowly, put his arm around his shoulders from behind, and ruffled his hair.

"It's early morning, Jack. You can wait for the book. You should take a rest."

"I know," Morrison said. "I'm just a little excited."

They were silent for a while.Reyes found a chair nearby, moved the thick stack of books that Morrison had placed on it to the table, and sat down.

"What do you think, about that Overwatch, do you want to join?"

Morrison turned his head to look at him, his blue eyes exuded excitement and determination:

"Of course!"

"Because can I be transferred to work together?" Reyes teased, "I know that the cooperation in the Mediterranean theater last time could not satisfy you. At that time, omnics were too crazy, and we only came here once a week at most... "

"Gabriel!" Morrison punched him on the head. "It's business."

"I understand." Reyes still had a smile on his face.In fact, Morrison has been smiling ever since he said he wanted to join Overwatch.He smiled lightly, but couldn't stop, his eyes were shining with excitement and hope like Morrison.

Morrison looked at him in a daze.Because Reyes' expression like this is so rare, it's hard to look away.

Just as Reyes thinks his eyes are like the clear sky, he thinks Reyes' black eyes are like the deep sea.He is the only one who can occasionally glimpse a ray of magnificent light under the sea through the calm sea water.He didn't know what the story of that Latino teenager went through alone in the years before he knew Reyes, but he learned to hide himself at a young age.He never let others approach easily, let alone open his heart.This made him a strong and good fighter, but it also made him isolated from the crowd and alone.

"You know, your dazed look is the cutest."

Morrison laughed too. "Whatever you say, Gabby. I know you won't say another word to anyone if you get out of this room anyway."

Reyes raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. "Jack, do you think the Overwatch they're talking about can really break the existing international structure? Recruit soldiers, scientists, and even video game players from all over the world, regardless of race or origin, and build a world together. Human confrontation organization... can this really be done?"

"It has to be done, or we're all going to die," Morrison said gravely. "The omnic crisis is spreading. We continue to discriminate and suspect each other like we are now. No one has a chance of winning."

"When I first joined the military, I wanted to make a difference," Reyes whispered.He tilted his head and looked at the night sky outside the window, "In our place, young people can only smuggle arms or sell drugs, or do very cheap processing labor to make a living. Women and children are always starving, worse Unfortunately, they have no access to education."

He stood up.Talking about the past made him feel a little unnatural, but he decided to go ahead. "So I decided to join the military, and my parents supported my decision. I always hope that people can let go of those selfish thoughts and really look at the lives of the people around them. Even the color of the skin No matter how different, no matter how big the gap between men and women is, we are all the same human beings!"

Morrison listened quietly.He had never seen Reyes like this.He was amazed that there was such a pure treasure hidden in the depths of the dark ocean. Under the black clothes, there was a pure white soul.

Now, he finally has a chance to fight side by side for each other's ideals with Reyes, and work together to create a future without discrimination, equality, fairness, justice and hope.

He walked over and took Reyes' hand.

"Together, Gabriel. Everything you want will come true."

"I think my book is almost finished. Are you interested in going to a fun place with me?"
