…is Junkrat
At opposite ends of the world, from both the harsh Australian outback to the lush prairies of Switzerland, these two won’t let geography impede their destiny.
Mercy is so kind, sweet, and gentle. She’s like a mother to all of her patients who come her way, and isn’t exclusive to any of the sick and needy.
Junkrat is impulsive, brash, and leaps before he thinks. There’s no job he’d ever turn down to make a quick buck, and he’ll blow up anyone who gets in his way. Even if he blows himself up in the process…
But as they are different, they are also alike.
Two sides of the same coin.
Mercy is a highly educated doctor and received her PhD through formal education. Junkrat toiled away in his workshop alone learning the craft of demolitions, even if it meant blowing off an arm and a leg to reach a breakthrough in his research.
She learned to help people; he learned to hurt.
Our star-crossed lovers would meet one day when Mercy is traveling the world searching for new patients to help. As she is visiting the dangerous city of Junkertown, Mercy approaches the front gate to state her business. But the Junkertown Queen doesn’t trust Mercy, and orders her guards to apprehend Mercy and throw her in the dungeon. As Mercy is cornered fearing for life, she hears the loud scream of an unknown bystander…
“Dipstick!” Boom Boom
Suddenly, the guards exploded and flew off the edge of the cliff, and Mercy stared at the mysterious silhouetted figure who helped her. He introduces himself as Jamison, but Mercy’s only concern is to know what happened to his blown off arm and leg.
Junkrat tries playing if off, saying “It’s nothing…”, and casually explains that he studies demolitions. She stops him before he could finish, and scolds him for developing such tools to harm other people. But as she stared into his eyes and saw his ambition, she knew she had to be there with him if his experiments ever went wrong.
Mercy would stay beside Junkrat, teaching him to be more conscientious, while Junkrat takes Mercy out on a night borrowing Roadhog’s motorcycle, as they raid the Junkertown Queen’s treasure stash.
In the day, Mercy will tend to his wounds. And at night, Junkrat will leave a steel trap and a concussive mine by her bedside to protect her.
Mercy x Junkrat are the perfect couple, just as The Witch of the Wilds was for Dr. Junkenstein.
