Who| Ana plus anyone who wants to bug her
What| Exploring her new surroundings
Where| Observation Deck
When| Post Lantern Plot
Warnings/Notes| None
Superheroes. That was new.
Well, if you wanted to get technical, Overwatch had been as close to superheroes one could get in Ana's world. After all, they had super soldiers, super intelligent apes, cyborg ninjas, some goofball who still thought it was the wild west, among many, many others.
But still, actual superheroes were new. And now Ana was one of them, super powers and all.
Once the situation had been explained to her, about this new reality and the threat of Chronoblivion, it didn't take Ana long to accept joining the Legion. It had been a long time since she'd been in any kind of formal unit, but at the very least the Legion seemed laid back enough she wouldn't have to say 'Sir, yes sir' to anybody any time soon.
After her release from Med Bay, Ana took to wandering around Legion World, quietly stalking the halls to get her bearings. The Anthramite clothiers had tried to convince her to adopt all sorts of different costume designs, but she decided on simply slapping the Legion symbol on the shoulder of her cloak. She wasn't much one for flashy designs. Flashy could get a sniper killed.
After quietly sneaking for what must have been hours, occasionally testing out her new found invisibility powers, she found herself in the observation deck. In her later days in Overwatch, Winston would occasionally tell her what it was like to watch the earth from afar from the Horizon lunar colony, but it didn't really prepare her for the sight. She gripped the rails as she watched the earth spin slowly below.
On a whim, she sat down on the edge of the platform, letting her feet dangle off the edge. This drew a couple curious glances from some nearby staff, but Ana paid them no mind. An experienced sniper felt comfortable with heights, and this was certainly the furthest up she had ever been.
Even if it might seem childish for someone her age, she decided to just enjoy herself for the moment.

Over time, Ana had become acutely aware of the effect it had on some people. Even though it certainly wasn't healthy reinforcing something like that, she was typically more comfortable around the other Overwatch members who understood. Even spending seven years wandering the world on her own hadn't really help much in this department.
Even so, she continued talking, even though her tone shifted ever so slightly. She still wasn't used to anything anyone could call 'civilian life'.
"Oh?" she replied, a little more warmly. "She sounds like quite an amazing person. But people who go through extraordinary things like that tend to be. The ones who have been through the most often are the ones most willing to give."
Despite going through her fair share of hardships, Ana only ever considered herself two things: a soldier and a mother, but not much of a hero. She was often much harder on herself than she was on everyone else.
