/Ruby grinned as she twirled around/

/Ruby/: So turn that frown upside down silly.

-Banko furrowed his eyebrows and stood silent. He looked out the window and stared. He had no idea if he could trust these girls words but he wanted to-

OT: I definitely wrote a reply to this. I guess it didn't post :/

/Mercy kept at Electrojack's heels as she frowned/

/Mercy/: Rein, align with Pharah and Aisling. Take out as many as you can. We will be rendezvousing with you all shortly.

/Ruby/: I think they very much want you here. Or Mom wouldn't even speak to you at all. And Dad would have been the one to attack you. My brother...he isn't so sure about you. But it's clear from everyone else that you are wanted here Banko.

/The girl smiled over at him/

/Ruby/: You're wanted. And we're happy you're alive and here with us.

-Banko rubbed the base of his nose and pondered for a moment-

“I heard they all slowly went their separate ways after a while. Silver had my mom and grandma to take care of. Ash and Zoey had a life, and your parents had you and your brother. But they all still kept in contact. But... his death changed them... they could never recover.. Ash went missing for so long... I think he blamed himself. Then Zoey’s in that hospital... him leaving broke her... and your parents just dropped off the face of the earth. Finding them with vague hints from Ash was no help.” He said, getting up and walking towards the window. “I never even knew about them being alive until recently. They wrote me this letter for when I was older. I never even opened it. Ash had one for me too. I don’t know why they didn’t just... see me... they weren’t even there when Mom died...” the boy bit his lip. He shook his head and looked down. “Maybe it was a mistake coming here. Your mom just left.. they don’t even want me here.”

/Ruby smiled at the thought/

/Ruby/: We rarely ever see anyone from my parent's past. But yeah, the pictures I've seen of them all together. They were happier once. However, I guess things kept happening and eventually everyone broke off from each other. It was too much for everyone.

-Banko looked around the house and saw a picture on the wall. It was of the original group. Silver, Alice, Zoey and Ash all stood smiling. They looked much younger. This picture had to have been taken years and years ago-

“They all look so much different...” He said. “And happier...”

-Reinhardt readied his hammer, touching his finger to his comm device once more-

“Mercy be prepared. There’s a fight ready for us. Alsing and Pharah are under fire.” He said

-Electrojack moved up the stairs to a higher floor, his hand over his pistol as he readied to move up higher, hearing more sounds the closer they are to the higher floors-

/Pharah continued to scour the area, scanning for any sign of movement. Aisling followed close behind, trying to stay at her heels should they need to act/

/Pharah/: I'm keeping a lookout. So far there's-.

/There was a sudden gasp on the radio as Pharah barely had time to dodge two speeding missiles surging from below towards their direction. She zipped through the air and grabbed hold of Aisling, their speed quick as the missiles turned to follow them/

/Pharah/: Missiles were trained on us. They knew we were here. Rein, everyone needs to be prepared. There's a fight ready for us.

/Ruby shrugged as she watched him intently/

/Ruby/: It's probably hard on her just as much as it is for you.
