I think at that point Genji knew McCree well enough to be able to tell the difference between a passing fancy and like, McCree actually falling for someone. I don’t think Genji was super protective of Hanzo so much as like, “Hey, my older brother is weird and super emotionally constipated, so if you’re serious about this he’s gonna need space and patience.” Like, Hanzo’s a grown-ass dude, and McCree may be a charmer, but it takes a hell of a lot more than charm to get Hanzo to warm up to you.
When their eyes met at the airport, the red thread between their hearts pulled tight, knitting together to the point of never being untangled. Hanzo left his bodyguards behind in order to make a beeline for tall, bulky Jesse McCree, stepping through the arrivals doors and sticking out like a sore thumb amongst the Japanese natives.
“Whoa, Hanzo!” McCree beamed as the shorter man reached him and practically threw himself into those long, safe arms. “Shucks, darlin’, I missed you, too!”
“Fool,” muttered Hanzo into his partner’s neck. “You will never be away for such a long time again.”
Jesse chuckled, not making any move to extract himself from this rare Hanzo-hug. “A long time? Hanny-bee, it’s only been two weeks.”
“Yes, but…” Shimada frowned, pulling back to get a proper look at McCree’s face, running his hand gently along his strong jaw – his beard had grown out. He hated it. “I missed you from the moment I lost sight of you.”
So, Overwatch’s Retribution event has come out and I’m thriving from all this data and sweet lore (despite the more questions this is giving us then answers)
There are thousands of new lines (including all of Reaper’s re-done, the poor man’s voice is probably dead)
Including this line between Moira and Reyes;
Moira: “How are you feeling, Commander?”
Reyes: “Fine, no ill effects so far.”
Moira: “Let me know if that changes.”
This isn’t the only strange interaction between them both, implying the Reaper state in Reyes.
But this line stands out, as Moira is questioning how her “test subject” is handling.
To me, I think this is because this might be Gabriel Reyes’ first mission since Moira genetically altered him, or at least since he’s stabilized.
Further, Moira is unknown to have be with Blackwatch until after this mission, originally haven thought to have been cast from Overwatch’s team and banned from their resources, no one seemed to know she’d then taken into Blackwatch.
Where, such, she’d have perfect invisibility to work on her research, where Reyes came into play.
In this event, Mccree also plays a huge part, as this is where he himself starts to realize this and things starting to go wrong. Whether or not he knows why, I don’t know.
But he does give a big fuss when Reyes makes a sudden decision to shoot Antonio, and gets angrier when he realizes Gabriel doesn’t regret it.
Because, to him, this doesn’t seem like something he would have thought Gabriel to do. (Because Mccree’s anger can’t possibly be him being pissed about this because of morality stuff despite being part of a blackops team.)
Notice how out of it Gabriel seems;
Right after Antonio is killed, Mccree becomes furious and begins to practically scold his commanding officer, who has been shown to be lenient with Mccree, but not to a point where Mccree could talk back to him in such a way.
Mccree pulls Gabriel around by the shoulder to yell at his face, but Gabriel does not get aggressive, tense, or defensive.
He lets Mccree shove him back while his eyes blankly stare at the floor.
It’s the smallest attention to detail, and you can easily miss it, but right before hand as well, as Mccree runs out of frame to yell at Reyes, Moira is seen in clear shot to the right.
At the last few seconds where Mccree is now off screen, Moira’s expression changes from what seems like boredom;
To a smile.
At first, I thought this was her amused by Gabriel’s change in “ideology”, but thinking on it, and putting together her interactions with Reyes in the picture.
This is pride.
She’s proud of her experiment, amused even. But not by Gabriel’s own actions.
