I know there’s a common idea that when McCree came into Overwatch, everyone was skeptical of him, mad about Reyes recruiting him, etc. But what if it was the opposite? The OG Strike Team has seen some shit. They busted their asses to save the world. Jesse McCree’s villainy is probably nothing to them.
And they’re invested in making the world a better place. McCree is shown at their rather intimate Halloween party without needing Reyes present, so they all like both him and Angela enough that they’re in the same social group.
So what if when Gabriel drags Jesse McCree home, the OG Strike Team members are all invested in what they privately refer to as “Gabriel’s pet project.” Ana, as we know, decides to teach Jesse a thing or two about aiming. Torbjorn gets one look at Jesse’s gun and is morally offended by, “That piece of scrap!” and insisted on making Jesse a new gun.
Reinhardt is thrilled to have a new victim, err, ‘fan’ for his tall tales. They’re all determined to get this kid on the straight and narrow because they’ve seen enough lives cut short. And they’ve seen more than their share of teenagers lost to villainy in the cities they couldn’t save.
So Defensive, Angry Teen ™ McCree slowly warming up to these literal legends. Realizing that there actually are good people out in the world, ones who want to make it a better place. And he can be one.
Young Jesse McCree.
