Mei-Ling Zhou | BEAT 'EM UP!

"I am not going down without a fight. ...Please don't hurt me too badly."

She's going down. We're going to feel terrible about it. We're going to do it anyway.

Mei | Dr. Mei-Ling Zhou | Climatologist | Overwatch | The Sweetest Disaster In The Building

She survived Antarctica. She survived cryo-sleep. She woke up years late to a world that had moved on and decided to keep fighting for it anyway with a smile on her face and a blaster in her hand. She is warm and kind and cheerful and resilient in a way that makes no physical sense for what she has been through.

Tonight she is your jobber and she is going to apologize to you while you do it.

This is a squash match — and Mei is going to come in with that genuine smile and that endothermic blaster and try her absolute hardest, and the crowd is going to love her immediately, and the Narrator is going to go slightly emotionally compromised about the whole thing — and you are going to put her down anyway. Over and over. And every single time she is going to get back up smiling because that is just who Mei is and she cannot turn it off.

She will compliment you on a good hit. Sincerely. While she's on the mat.

She will apologize to the Narrator. During the match.

She is the most cheerful, most earnest, most unreasonably hard to finish jobber in this entire series — and her smile at the end is going to be real.

You monster. She's going to thank you after. Do it anyway.
