WE NE E E E E D MORE (also trans mccree gives me life)
let me elaborate on this!
Jesse lost his right eye during one of his first missions with Blackwatch. He got a mechanical eye implant that is connected to his nerves and allows him to slow down time for himself, which is how he makes Deadeye work. He slows time down to perfectly line up his shots. (being able to shoot more than 6 bullets is a talk for another day,) the longer he has it in effect, the more it strains his eye and brain and gets lightheaded. it also glows while it’s active, and the iris remains red for a few minutes after.
all of this is canon, to my version of McCree at least, and here’s where the AU stuff comes in:
one day he gets hit with an EMP (not necessarily from Sombra) and his eye stops working and he goes blind in that eye. once he gets it repaired, its effect gets enhanced so much so, that he doesn’t only slow down time, but stops it entirely. the longer he holds time still, the worse his headache gets. he rarely uses it because of this. he could potentially get more used to it and use this ability more excessively. he could stop time, move, continue, and it would seem like he was teleporting. which is kinda hilarious and terrifying at the same time. Jesse, of course, would use it to mess with people.
