Lena stared at Winston as he worked on a new project of his.
Lena had no clue of what he was making, Winston didn't tell her what he was working on or even acknowledged her presence as she was sitting quietly on one of the work tables. Lena was bored, she didn't have any upcoming missions to prepare for, and she also didn't want to go home in case she was needed. She decided that she would go see what her buddy Winston was up to, Lena let herself in and took a seat on one of the tables. She didn't say anything to inform him that she just came to check up on him, because he look to be deep in thought, as studied his blueprints.
Lena was quite eager to learn about her friends project, but she didn't want to startle him, so she started fidgeting to indicate her presence and due to her anticipation.
"Hey ya Winston. What ya workin on there luv?" Lena asked with a silly grin.
Winston flinched at the sound her voice. It had startled him. Lena saw him flinch and guess he didn't notice her fidgeting. "Sorry. I guess I gave you a start." Lena apologize.
Winston collected himself and sighed, still working. "That's okay. When did you come in?" He asked.
Lena turned around to face the clock and then back at Winston. "I have no idea. Probably not that long though. So what ya doing there?" She asked again.
"I'm trying to make a smaller version of your Chrono Excelerator, so it's less of a target on the battlefield and more lightweight. I'm also attempting to increase your recall time so you can go back further in time."
"That sounds great! How far will I be able to go back in time?"
"I'll need you to test that out for me when the time comes. Now if you don't mind I would like to work in peace so could you please leave, I would appreciate that."
Lena gave heavy sigh. "Augh...Fine." She hopped off the table and walked out.
Lena wander the halls for awhile. As she made her way towards the medical wing, Lena thought she could go see what Angela was up to, if she wasn't busy.
Lena knew her way around the base like the back of her hand, so she paid no mind to the name plaques on the walls that indicated whose office was whose.
Lena found the office and opened the door, she meet by Angela and Genji having a conversation about something. Angela noticed Lena as she looked over to the door. She greeted her with her million dollar smile, "Ah hello Lena, is there anything I can do for you?" Genji looked over at Lena. He wasn't wearing his mask so his very damaged face was visible. He then quickly put it back on, then turned to Angela again. "Well then Angela I guess I will be leaving now." He made his way towards the door. Lena gave him a weak smile and moved out of the way for him.
"Bye Genji." Said Angela.
As soon as Genji left Lena dropped he smile and walked towards the doctor. Concern written all over her face, "Is he okay?"
"Mentally or physically?"
"Mentally."
"He has yet to overcome the way he now looks. Genji has accepted that this body was faith, and his brother did not want to do this to him, but he comes in everyday asking the same questions; 'Do you fear what is behind this mask, what is still human? Am I that hideous? Is there something you could do or maybe something I could do, to prevent people from fearing me for my scars?'.
Angela sighed, "He can only fix what has happened if he comes to peace to peace with his face, or that this never happened. Makeup couldn't fix it, trust me I've tried."
Lena's heart sank at Genji's pain. She had felt that her condition was terrible, until Genji came. Lena always wanted to help him find his way around this, but now she has an idea.
