[?] Β Β Β Whatβs Hanaβs affiliation with Overwatch in this fic?

Since this is before the cinematic on the timeline, Hana is affiliated with Overwatch when the incident occurs. For the sake of this fic, Hana is inactive/on leave from all organizations during her recovery (e-sports, MEKA Squad, and Overwatch).Β In this fic, Overwatch is eager to re-recruit Song as she was not fully onboarded before the incident. Since she is still considered a member of Overwatch at this time, her MEKA Squad captain is able to call for their help during Hanaβs request for a second mech to be built. Overwatch offers the job to a few of their members, and Brigitte ends up taking it.

dva (hana song) x brigitte | dva (hana song) x dae-hyun
After Hana Song (D.va) self-destructs her mech Tokki, she endures a long recovery. At the end of it, she is on honorable leave from the Korean military and her e-sports career is at a screeching halt. When a prestigious mech racing ring recruits her, she convinces herself that she needs to win.
The only problem is that she needs a built-from-scratch mech for the races. With her mechanic Dae-Hyun repairing Tokki, Hana searches for more help. A second mech would help her recover from her PTSD, anyway. Eager to recruit her, Overwatch connects Hana with mechanic Brigitte Lindholm.
Despite feelings for Dae-Hyun days before, Hana can't shake her fascination with Brig. Amidst her desire for a new sense of purpose, another identity crisis forms: her sexuality.Β
As her physical wounds finally begin to heal, her inner world is again in pieces. Hana finds herself with a hidden agenda, two disassembled mechs, a blossoming crush, and an ongoing struggle with the idea of sacrifice.
