What happens when small Rei goes up to Amelie and asks “Why are you blue?”

nitewrighter:

Well Amélie’s circulation is… closer to normal humans’ circulation by the time Rei comes around. Like literally one of the reasons she and Sombra defected was because Sombra was starting to get the feeling that Talon’s treatments to keep Amélie Widowmaker were gradually killing her, and Widowmaker herself was feeling the last shreds of Amélie fading (You can read about it in Rain and Rain Pt. 2!) So one of the first things that happened when they defected was that Widowmaker had to begin treatments with Mercy first to stabilize her, (Because being away from Talon basically had Amélie’s body destroying itself attempting to return to normal) and then to try and safely transition back to well… normal living human vitals. So Amélie’s skin tone is closer to her ‘Talon’ skin by the time Rei’s around, but maybe Rei might see a picture when she’s small.

Rei: Why were you blue?
Amélie, not glancing up from a newspaper and completely deadpan: An evil wizard cursed me. He tried to turn me into a blueberry but he missed with his magic wand and it only turned me blue.
Rei: *gasp*
Amélie: I got better though.
Rei: *relieved sigh*
Amelie: But… he is still out there, looking for naughty little girls to turn into blueberries.
Rei: *gasp*

Between her uncles, who does little Rei like getting piggyback rides from the most?

nitewrighter:

Well McCree actually makes the effort of making horse sounds so that’s a big plus, however, Hanzo can climb walls but it takes a little convincing.

Rei: Wall-climb! Wall-climb!
Hanzo: As your Uncle, I must insist that your safety comes first.
Rei: …
Rei: …Dad would wall-climb.
Hanzo: You think I don’t know what you’re doing, but I do.
Rei: It’s okay. Dad can probably wall-climb faster anyway.
Hanzo: *scoffs* I find that highly doubtful. 
Rei: Mmmm–no, I’m pretty sure Dad’s the best at wall-climbing. He said you’re not as fast as him.
Hanzo: …
Hanzo: Hold on tight.
Rei: *grins*

I’d say it’s a tie, honestly.

Rei’s parent-teacher conferences?

nitewrighter:

Teacher: Your daughter is a pleasure to have in class. She seems to be doing well in her subjects… I have some concerns about art, however…
Mercy: But Rei loves art! It’s her favorite subject!
Teacher: Oh yes, and she’s very talented. I’m just concerned about her taste in subject matter. *slides paper forward* She drew this the other day.
Mercy: …
Genji: …
Teacher: Now I’m not particularly concerned about Rei being violent herself, and I’ve been keeping track of her other drawings so I’m aware she’s only telling a story here, but you must understand this kind of subject matter isn’t really good for her age group.
Mercy: Well this explains why her red colored pencil is a stub compared to the rest of them…
Genji: That’s amazing! Angela, she must have broken into your medical texts again! The anatomy on the entrails here is—well it’s far better than I could ever draw at her age! And look! She got the angle of the sword right on the exit wound and—!
Mercy: *clears throat*
Genji: …and we’ll be talking to Rei about what’s appropriate to draw for her age.

How does Genji explain to Rei that deflected a giant bell being thrown at him. If Genji can deflect a giant bell… can he deflect anything? Deflect: apple deflect: ball deflect:…. REI

nitewrighter:

I like to think that the HOTS Promo animation is Genji making up a crazy bedtime story for Rei.

Genji: And then Diablo threw my family’s shrine bonshō at me!
Rei: *gasp* Did it hurt??
Genji: I deflected it, of course.
Rei: …you mean dodged it?
Genji: …no, I deflected it. I had to bend backwards and the whole thing was in slow motion.
Rei: That’s so cool!!
Genji: But then Diablo threw me all the way across the castle grounds and I smashed into the main hall!
Rei: No!
Genji: Yes!
Rei: Did you die?
Genji: No because that’s when…*looks around Rei’s room* That’s when… uhhh…*Glances at a D.Va poster Rei has on her wall* That’s when D.Va showed up!
Rei: Yaaaay!

In terms of the deflection thing, he is very good at deflection, and also redirecting things thrown at him. Rei’s thrown a snowball at him in Nepal and he’s easily caught it without even turning his head. And then Rei has to run because what goes around comes around. “Sono teido ka?”

Rei blurts out her first Japanese word in front of Hanzo.Hanzo gives Genji and Mercy the neutral face if disappointment

nitewrighter:

Hanzo: …where did she hear that word?

Genji: *flashback*

Past Genji: *sprinting out to a Watchpoint dumpster with pantsless Baby Rei under one arm and holding an extremely full diaper at arm’s length with the other* Kuso-kuso-kuso-kuso-kuso-kusokusokusokuso—

Genji: *flashes back to present*

Hanzo: Well?

Genji: …I don’t know. She probably heard it from you. I blame you.

Hanzo: Hmph.
