idk what im doing

On a rewatch of Expiration Date, something caught my eye. In the beginning, he wakes Scout to take the call. It was a video call, no hands required and noone else was on the road. It was a call he could’ve taken, or made Soldier take. It stands to reason that if Heavy could believe that Spy was Scout’s father, he’d figure out something as obvious as Scout liking Miss Pauling.

Why would he? Well, Scout is a lot less of an asshole when Miss Pauling is around. Spy probably isn’t the only one who’s been defaced with Scout’s drawings.

But, I think even deeper, if you look at scenes in MVM trailer, or Heavy with his family, or his lines with Medic, you’ll see a pattern.

Heavy is deeply loyal, and far more shrewd that most people assume he is. He knows more about the actual business than any of the other mercenaries. Everything from hiding his family from his employers back in Meet The Director, and refusing to open up to the director, which turned out to be a trap, to suspecting Miss Pauling’s intentions before any other mercenary, and doing everything he can to keep them secret. He is a roaring menace on the battlefield, but it is outside of the battlefield where he shows the true depth of his leadership and intelligence.

Being a defense class doesn’t just mean capping a point. He takes care of his team, and he takes care of his family. Whether it means trailing Miss Pauling and Soldier on a doomed mission to intercept Gray Mann’s base, or nudging Scout, a teammate Heavy doesn’t even always get along with that well in the right direction be it his possible family, or love. He watches over his comrades, protecting and guiding them, even at the cost of his own wants and needs, or his own glory.
