An explosion… The ringing, it is horrible the pain, pain fades. There was someone there, Jack looked around there was Gabriel. Others were in the building, the dust cleared and he could see his old friend lying there lifeless. The ceiling cracked he could hear the building supports creaking they were probably damaged he tapped his com. Static; he was 10 floors up and needed to get down it was coming down. One of the support columns fell to the floor below. He realized that he did not have time to find the underlying cause of the building. He looked at shattered windows that covered the walls and out over chaos outside a news helicopter was twenty feet from the widow, if he had a running start he might be able to get to it. He backed up to the wall behind him and sprinted to the window with the floor giving way beneath him.
He ran faster he leapt into the air he grabbed for the support under the helicopter; his fingers grazed it he fell down. Down to the ground below. He tried balled up so he could roll on impact and survive. It wasn't realistic at all but he was tough and his armor could absorb some impact, maybe. Then he saw a gas tanker rushing toward him, shit he thought to himself then he heard Mercy's voice and he went straight into the tanker but there was no explosion. It was a water truck 'Thank you God' he thought to himself. Good news, he wasn't dead, bad news his leg was broken he pulled himself to a crack in the tank water was rushing out so that wasn't difficult despite his injuries. He rolled onto the pavement he looked up at Overwatch headquarters; burning parts of the building collapsed dust flew everywhere. He just lost his home, his family, and Gabriel was gone, his teammate, his friend, they were like brothers and he was gone, just like Ana and Lial.
