As a new trainee at Helix Security, you became an addition to Pharah’s strike team. Being taught by the Lieutenant herself was a dream. — Currently, her lessons surround flight manoeuvres, though you’ve only gotten a few metres off the ground at most.

“There you go, like a bird.” Pharah chuckles, standing back as the thrusters push you off the ground again.

You don’t know what gives you the courage, but you feel the urge to boost yourself higher. That same courage only lasts about a second before the engine splutters and whirs from the sudden acceleration, sending you spinning back down to the ground with a scream.

Preparing for an unforgiving impact, you squeeze your eyes shut until you find yourself in a firm set of arms instead. Peeking up, you’re met with that familiar, amiable smirk.

“Not your finest hour, princess.” Pharah grins down at you, completely unperturbed by watching your less than graceful descent.
