Since she is still considered a member of Overwatch at this time, her MEKA Squad captain is able to call for their help during Hanaβs request for a second mech to be built. Overwatch offers the job to a few of their members, and Brigitte ends up taking it.

dva (hana song) x brigitte | dva (hana song) x dae-hyun
After Hana Song (D.va) self-destructs her mech Tokki, she endures a long recovery. At the end of it, she is on honorable leave from the Korean military and her e-sports career is at a screeching halt. When a prestigious mech racing ring recruits her, she convinces herself that she needs to win.
The only problem is that she needs a built-from-scratch mech for the races. With her mechanic Dae-Hyun repairing Tokki, Hana searches for more help. A second mech would help her recover from her PTSD, anyway. Eager to recruit her, Overwatch connects Hana with mechanic Brigitte Lindholm.
Despite feelings for Dae-Hyun days before, Hana can't shake her fascination with Brig. Amidst her desire for a new sense of purpose, another identity crisis forms: her sexuality.Β
As her physical wounds finally begin to heal, her inner world is again in pieces. Hana finds herself with a hidden agenda, two disassembled mechs, a blossoming crush, and an ongoing struggle with the idea of sacrifice.
