Television programs all across Sunset City were turned to Channel 3 news as the usual 2 o'clock anchor, William Knight (of the Knight Report) turned to the camera. He cleared his throat before speaking.
"I am William Knight. We interrupt your regularly scheduled broadcast to bring you breaking news as there is an armed robbery in progress at Sunset City Federal Bank. The perpetrators are Australian criminals, Jamison Fawkes and Mako Rutledge; known more famously by their aliases Junkrat and Roadhog" he said.
As he spoke, images of the criminals' mugshots appeared in the top right corner.
"Their spree of mayhem and chaos has caused untold millions in property damage around the world. Last year these deranged criminals managed to steal the Crown of London and have appeared to set their sights on Sunset City. I'm being told now that the Channel 3 Chopper is currently in the air following the high speed pursuit. We go now live to Rob Frost in the Channel 3 Chopper, Rob?" he said.
Cut to live footage of a sprawling city, camera pointed at the streets below as an armored truck barreled through traffic with no regard for the safety of others, police cars following close behind.
"Thank you Will. We are currently following the pursuit below as criminals Junkrat and Roadhog have made off with an estimated 35 million in cash. The police are in hot pursuit and...wait a minute. The back door is opening" he said.
From the back of the vehicle, a short figure climbed onto the roof and seemed to be carrying something. A weapon. He fired it at the oncoming police cars and a bright explosion occurred, opening a hole into the sewer below that sent the nearest cars crashing into it.
"My god! They appear to be armed with some sort of explosive weapon and are slowing the police down considerably. It appears...." he began.
Suddenly the anchor noticed it. A pair of miniature projectiles with smoke trails. Rockets. Rockets that hit the choppers tail and sent it spinning out of control and careening toward the street below.
"We're going down! We're going down!" he said.
Just before it seemed the channel was going to cut back to Knight, a figure leaped out of nowhere and landed on the front of the helicopter. It wore a cybernetic suit of armor that had a pair of 'ears' on either side of the head, perfect rectangles that were at least a foot long and it was holding on tight, using a series of jet bursts to stabilize the spin before pointing an arm out and firing some sort of metal chord at a nearby building. With a sudden jolt and the sudden roar of jets, the helicopter swung to a halt and landed safely on an open stretch of road. The figure let go as the chord whined back into the arm. It wasn't hard to recognize who it was. The Jack Rabbit.
"Well, wasn't that fun kids? Please exit the helicopter and remember, hugs not drugs!" The Jack Rabbit said in a synthesized voice as it was backing up, giving a piece sign (or bunny ears) to the camera before turning and running after the truck, jets propelling it up and forward at incredible speed and velocity as it leaped over vehicles and swung with the grappling gun.
The camera shakily turns to Rob, clearly shaken.
"B-b-back to you..." he said

NOTE: I am fully aware Junkrat and Roadhog are Overwatch characters, I merely added them because I figured they would be a fun addition to the stories universe. I am an avid Overwatch fan if my avatar wasn't perfect evidence of that
