Tracer x Reader
------------

The new Magnetic Energy Meso-sonic Equalizer bullet train, (Commonly known as MEME) was announced three years ago to be replacing every Hyper-loop train that ran through the city of Numbani and every major city in the planet. It was proclaimed and herald to be one of the finest work of engineering coupled with the collective effort of both humans and Omnics alike. It could take you from Paris to Egypt within minutes. It's said to be one of the final pieces of technology recovered and reused from the government raid on an old Winston Lab, which simply shows how stunning and magnificent his mind was.

And on this particular day, I had the honor to ride the "crowning achievement of Omni-Human kind". However, what they didn't mention in the grandeur speech of unity is that there were different trains for different classes, and not all of them are well maintained. Especially the one that travels between Germany and Numbani, which I luckily had the chance to sit in. The immense G-Forces exerted on the human body in the train is far greater than any astronaut or pilot would ever experience, so you have to be wearing a dorky safety-orange vest that pulsated with electromagnetic fields to keep you from having your shit pulled out of your intestines due to the forces. It wasn't already insulting to have to be sat down and be strapped to a vest, its more insulting that they NEVER wash them. The feeling of having a sweaty Germans chest sweat go up your nose at mach speed makes me want to reconsider every decision leading up to me boarding the train. The sweat didn't help considering I was trying to focus on what I was going to do for the next few weeks.

My parents had shown me a scholarship opportunity a few months ago for a pilots school a few kilometers north of Numbani, for which I applied for and instantly got the thumbs up. The brief moment of happiness that I had upon hearing I was accepted was decimated by the fact I had to go move there, because my parents refused letting me live under their roof as a 22 year old adult. Thinking about it now, I think that's the real reason they even showed me the scholarship.

The train finally halted to a stop over the course of 100 miles, so that wouldn't fly out of the window at the speed of sound. The pulsing fields finally settled over clamps in the station, where they locked into place. My skin started to feel tingly and my ears began to loosen.
"Must be depressurizing the cabin" I thought to myself.

After a few minutes of waiting, and me scrolling through my Touch Bracelet looking at funny pictures of Omnics dressing up as cats, The doors slid open, as 4 Omnic attendees began to unbuckle our vests and pulling out carry-ons and luggage out of the overhead compartment. I didn't have much to my name, a few textbooks for the school, A laptop, and some pairs of smart-clothes, so I was traveling light. But then again, so was everyone else considering this was the most budget and cheap train you can get on this route.
I lugged the bag over my shoulder and started to tread on through the door. The blast of searing savanna air nearly melted my face off. That would have bothered me more if I didn't look out the window of the terminal. Now, I've seen Numbani in VR tours and Holograms projected in Virtual chambers. But the sheer size of it all made me stop and die on the nearest bench. I was no stranger to technology and city but something about THIS city made my insides cry. The lush green imported trees flowing up and down every building, with a small haze looming over the city made all the colors from buildings and vegetation to pop out. The sun was around high noon, casting shadows directly down the sides of the coneish-beak like buildings with trains running through them. All this scenery made me feel like I was 21 again. Good times.

I got up and started to walk outside and holler for an Umlaut, a taxi based drone system. One hovered a few meters above and started to land in-front of me, shining some yellow and black lights on the ground in front of me to signal caution. Once it plonked down, I went to the trunk and put the few bits of luggage that I did have inside. I casually walked back to seat in the rear right and closed the door behind me. I felt the rotors under me start to whirl faster and faster until they were just a constant rumble under the soles of my feet. We rose quickly up a few hundred feet and started to drift to the South of town, which is where I marked my destination and where my new apartment was. The ride was nice and gentle as we flew over the commercial and financial districts beneath, bustling with autonomous cars and streaks of light whizzing by on the tracks.

In the middle of watching a news video on my Bracelet, I felt the drone jolt a little.
"The fuck" I whispered to myself.
But then jolts became more and more frequent, this time making a noise on the undercarriage. Once I heard that, My primordial sense of being a little bitch kicked in and I started to panic.
"You couldn't even make it ONE day in the city without being killed by a freak accident?"

I began hyperventilating, a neat trick I picked up in the gym locker rooms of my middle school. My adrenaline kicked in and I started to tap every button in the interior in hopes of some emergency descend system that was in every new model Umlaut. Nothing appeared.
"There's nothing IN HERE". I started to scream. Shrieking, even.

All my nerves suddenly dropped and sank when I felt the left rear door start to creak. I was hoping that somehow Superman had heard my pleas and was here to help this damsel in distress. The door flew open due to the high altitude outside and I had to hold onto the seat in front of me so I wouldn't be sucked outside. While holding on, I peeked out the window to see us hovering over the largest building in the district. Suddenly. A woman-esque shaped jumped up to the seat next to me and slammed the door, creating a few brief seconds of awkward silence while alarms kept on beeping. I sat there in shock, not even taking in what had just happen and just starting at the leathery upholstery of the seat in front.

"Sorry bout' the entrance luv', very dramatic, I know" A very cheery British voice said in my direction.

Even though I heard the voice, I still didn't look at her, I was still trying to get my heartbeat to be slower than the drone rotors.

"Luv, you alright? Didn't mean to cause such a commotion- Well I mean to, sorta my style, still, just a bit o' good harmless spook, ts'all".

I looked up from my leathery refuge and scanned her. She looked young, in her early 20's, with short yet still luscious brown hair. She seemed to be sporting some retinal goggles, which tinted her eyes and nose bridge with orange light. Her face was very short and narrow, but soft. She was wearing an aviator jacket, which wasn't too common nowadays. The real showstopper was her chest; In the very middle was this large circular light, pulsating with blue energy.

All of this is irrelevant however, because just judging from the circular light in her chest, I already knew who this was. I had just stumbled with Lena-fucking-Oxton, or more commonly known as 'Tracer'.

I would be understating if I said I've heard about her. She was my biggest idol growing up and one of my biggest influences to becoming a Pilot. I had figurines of her, Posters of her face with the quote, "Keep calm and Tracer on", I even had all latest comic issues of her in my Laptop. To have her right here in front of me, casually looking at me funny, was amazing.

Wait, shes looking at me funny. Oh shit, I must look like a complete freak just staring at her for more than 3 minutes without saying anything

"You funny in the head? You wanna say something? Don't be shy." She playfully said.

"My god" I thought to myself, shes even more charming in real life!

"I-I uh, sorry, I just uh"

"Ahhh, I see, You know who I am. That's good, still means I'm at least somewhat relevant. I bet you already know all about me but I'm a sap for good hello's so, here goes nothing; Hello there, I'm Lena Oxton, You can just ring me as just 'Tracer' though." she giggled slightly, which has become a staple of her very charismatic and friendly attitude.
