It's strange, but in that moment, Winston believes what Jack says with absolute certainty. There's no reason for him to trust him after everything that happened, after he left them to their own devices for so long when he could have announced himself much sooner. But the fact that he and Ana have come here at all means something, and while Jack's voice might be rougher now than it ever was when he was in command of Overwatch, it's also familiar enough to take Winston back to those times.
Back then, he'd trusted Jack Morrison with his life countless times. He'd had utter faith in him, and it's nice, to feel that again, if only for a brief moment.
After that, the man is gone, footsteps echoing down the hall, and Winston is alone. He has a minute or so that he spends pacing up and down, forcing his limbs back into functioning order, but that's when he hears urgent running from the opposite direction.
Well, it was only a matter of time.
Wherever Jack and Ana end up, a short while after that they'll hear an echoing roar, something rage-filled and monstrous, coming from where they'd left their favorite gorilla.
After everything that had happened, Winston wouldn't let them down. And if there was one way to bring himself up to full speed, it was by letting the simmering anger in him take over. ]
