*Author's note: This is the first story I'm going to write here in FanFiction, so in case I make a mistake, or lack some things here and there, do let me know. Also, here, I made Angela (Mercy) the foster parent of Hana (D.Va) because I think it's really cute, and most of us can agree that we can easily see Angela being the mother of Hana. Obviously, they are two different people with different races, so that's why I made Angela be the foster parent (duh). The only time I will stop writing is at the last chapter, when there's a choice to choose between Fareeha (Pharah), Genji, or neither, but that's all on you guys based on the popular choice. If you are unhappy with the choice, don't worry, I'll make another story for your shipply needs (or another story of the same ship, I'll do that too). Anyways, enjoy!*
A buzz from the doorbell startled Angela awake. She turned off the muted television and placed the TV remote down on the table. She wondered what kind of idiot would bother her at this hour. She glanced over at the clock on the wall behind her.
Eight thirty two...
The buzzer was pressed again, and Angela placed her hand on top of her forehead in irritation. She rubbed her forehead and moved Hana's legs off her lap, who was still sleeping peacefully. She stood up from the couch and walked towards the front door before looking through the peephole. She smiled to herself as she saw a familiar face, it was Torbjorn, and what appears to be some food with him. She unlocked the door and greeted Torbjorn with a bright smile.
"Torbjorn! Didn't expect you to be here, would you like to come in?" Angela shuffled a little to the side, but Torbjorn shook his head.
"Nah, I'm here to give you this. They're leftovers from the party! We were wondering why you weren't there, we made sure that you were invited. Did you get the invitation?" Torbjorn asked as he reached his arms out to hand over the leftovers to Angela, who took it with curiosity on to think what's inside.
"I did, but I couldn't go since my muscles are sore from yesterday's surgery. Besides, it's my day off today, and I wanted to spend time with Hana so we can bond together," Angela set the plastic plate aside on the nightstand next to the door.
Torbjorn nodded. "It's alright Doc, everyone would understand that you'd rather be with your kid. You work too much! If you're tired, just stay home and relax! We won't mind."
Angela sighed deeply. "Thank you, but another reason is that I know how you guys can get when you drink a little too much... you really should take better care of yourselves..."
"Heh, you worry too much Doc. There were no drinking this time, just a feast. We were doing a celebration party for the new recruit Lena, she saved a child from being abducted!" Torbjorn crossed his arms and gave and shook his head. "She even put out a fire from a Pizzeria."
Angela was surprised on how the new recruit could do so much in under a week. "Wow! Lena deserves that party. I'm glad that she's doing a good job in helping people, I just hope she doesn't get hurt..."
"Again, you worry too much Doc. Lena had it under control. She was sad that you couldn't come with your kid, actually. She enjoys being with Hana. In fact...," Torbjorn holds out a chain with red tsubaki petals on it from his pocket. "She wanted to give this to Hana, but since you weren't there, and she had to leave early, I was asked to come and give it to you personally. Pretty, isn't it?"
Torbjorn held out the chain, and Angela took it from his hand, admiring the red petals that were beautifully printed on the metal. "Yes... it is. Hana will love this. Thank you for bringing us leftovers and for bringing this chain to us. I should thank her personally whenever I have the time. It's nice to know that Hana has a friend," Angela smiled, and put the chain away in one of her pockets from her long white coat.
"What?" Torbjorn gave Angela a confused look. "Does the girl not know any other children?"
"Oh. No... she's homeschooled, and I don't like how... the children behave around here... They are very reckless and I don't want that to be rubbed onto Hana."
"Aw... no wonder she's very emotionally lonely when you're not around. It's because you're gone, and she has no one else to be with," Torbjorn frowned.
"R-really? Maybe I should ask my boss to let me--," Torbjorn interrupted Angela before she can finish.
"No, no, no. The hospital needs you, they need your talent, and so do the patients. Angela, for your young age, you are a miracle worker. We know that you want to be there for Hana, but we got this. Don't you already have Genji and Fareeha looking out for her for you? Even Lena watches over Hana, and in one visit, that girl fell in love with Lena!" Torbjorn chuckled. "I bet it's Lena's bad luck of being clumsy."
"That, or her bright personality. Something that Genji and Fareeha sorta lacks. Hana finds Genji to be cool, even saying that he's like a super hero, but she finds him scary, and she can't tell if he's awake or if he's sleeping during his meditation, which she finds super boring. And...," Angela sighs. "She finds Fareeha to be cool too, but Fareeha is too serious, and she always sleeps. She even lets Hana do whatever she wants, even drawing on the wall!"
Torbjorn laughed. "You have your hands full, haha."
A soft mumble caught both of their attention. Hana slowly walked up to Angela, rubbing her eyes. She grips on Angela's long coat and asks, "Mommy who's at the door?"
Torbjorn speaks up with delightment. "Hey kiddo, remember me?"
"Mommy... it's the dwarf I was talking about...," Hana whispered.
"I am not a dwarf!" Torbjorn said in anger, frustrated that everyone says that.
Angela laughed. "Ahahaha! Oh my Torbjorn, that word will never stop being used on you, huh?"
"Argh... Well... I best be going then... It's almost Hana's bed time isn't it?"
Angela looked behind her, but from her angle, she couldn't see the clock right, but it was almost Hana's bed time anyway. "Yeah, it is."
"Alright, well I'll see you another time. Be good Hana," Torbjorn waved to Hana, who hid behind Angela's leg. "Haha, what a cute kid. Don't stress too much Doc! Make sure to take a break! G'night!"
Angela waved Torbjorn goodbye. "Bye Torbjorn!" She closed the door and locked it, checking twice to make sure that it's properly locked. She turned around to find Hana looking at her own feet, raising one foot and then the other afterward. "Now...," Angela said, catching Hana's attention. "Let's see what he brought us, ja?"
Angela grabbed the plate from the stand and took it to the kitchen, setting it down on the table in the middle of the room. She removed the aluminum foil and it revealed a vanilla cake with a light-blue frosting. Hana gasped and stared at the cake in awe, revealing her teeth, one missing at the corner, which made Hana look more adorable than usual. Angela could've sworn that she saw saliva escape from her lips, too. She glanced over at the clock to her left, above the sink. It was almost Hana's bed time...
Angela rested a hand on her cheek. "You can't eat sugar before bed."
"Aw...," Hana plopped down on her chair in defeat, and looked down on her feet, pouting.
Angela took a deep breath. "But...," she continued. "I'll let you eat it this time, but you have to brush your teeth twice, got it?"
Hana nodded. "Mmhmm, mmhmm!" She took a fork from one of the cabinets and took a mouthful of cake. She hummed at the sweet taste of the cake, and realized that Angela wasn't eating any. "Aren't you going to have some, Mommy?"
Angela shook her head. "I'm not hungry right now..."
"Ok..."
Angela waited for Hana to finish her cake, at the meantime, since Hana was being quiet, Angela could hear the droplets of rain hit the window between the sink and the clock. She looked over at Hana, who was too focused of her piece of cake. She had frosting all over her mouth, even up to the tip of her nose.
How does she even... ugh, never mind, Angela thought.
She ripped off a piece of napkin and cleaned the frosting off of Hana's face.
"Careful not to get any frosting on your--," Angela saw how the piece of cake on Hana's fork parted, landing on the bottom of Hana's shirt. "--clothes..." Angela sighed.
"Sorry...," Hana apologized, almost at the brunt of tears.
"It's okay sweetie, it's not your fault. Hurry and finish your cake so I can wash it as quickly as I can," Angela pat Hana on the head.
"Ok..." Hana took a mouthful of cake, and Angela asked if she was done. Hana nodded, so Angela took her hand and took her into Hana's room.
"Here's your pajamas, change as quickly as possible so your shirt won't be ruined."
Hana's pajamas was a blue buttoned shirt with a pink bunny smiling on the chest area, and the pants were blue, with pink and white stripes at the side. Hana removed her shirt and slipped onto her pajama, putting her head on the wrong hole, and getting stuck.
"Help..."
Angela unbuttoned the shirt, and pushed Hana's hand off the sleeve so Hana's head can slide off easier. "Make sure that it's unbuttoned Hana..."
"I keep forgetting...," Hana pouted.
"That's okay, go and brush your teeth, ja? Button up your shirt, I'll join you shortly."
"Okay mom!"
Why do I get the feeling that she's going to mess something up... Angela thought.
Angela threw the shirt at the washing machine and turned it on. She went back into the room and found Hana still fumbling on her buttons. She found the problem; Hana buttoned up the buttons wrong. Hana looked up and ran towards her, holding the top button up.
"Mommy, there's no hole for this one!"
"Yes there is, you just didn't do it right. Here, let me do it..."
"Oh... I'm sorry...," Hana pouted.
"Don't be, it's not your fault Hana," Angela smiled at Hana, and patted her head. "There, all buttoned up. Come on, we have to brush our teeth."
Hana ran to the bathroom with her arms flailing with delight. Angela couldn't help but smile at how cute she was. Angela took the stool from the corner next to the bathtub, and brought it in front of the sink, where Hana jumped onto it to reach her toothbrush. Angela took her own toothbrush, a mix of white, orange, and bright yellow. Hana had a navy blue toothbrush with pink polkadots, her two favorite colors. She took the paste and put it on both of their brushes, knowing Hana well enough that she would squeeze the paste too hard. When Angela was done, Hana thought she was done too, but Angela grabbed her hand and shook her finger.
"Nuh-uh, you have to brush a second time remember?"
"Oh yeah!" Hana jumped back onto the stool and gave the paste to Angela.
"Hana, this isn't that hard you know...," Angela sighed.
"...I never do it right...," Hana pouted.
"It's alright, I'll have you try at it again another time," Angela said as she put some toothpaste on Hana's toothbrush. "It's raining tonight, I doubt it'll get stronger later on. But if it does...," Angela whispered. "I'll have to buy a new umbrella..."
"Wits laiwing? Ban I sweep wi luu?"
"What? Hana, finish brushing your teeth first, look you got paste on your sleeve...," Angela looked at the sleeve, and rubbed it with her wet finger.
"Sobby..."
"What did I say?"
Hana squared her shoulders and continued to brush her teeth. Angela nodded when the paste on the sleeve was gone. "When you finish, go straight to bed, okay? I'm just going to change." Angela went back into her room and removed her long white coat. Making sure that the chain was out of her pocket, and placed it down on top of the drawer. She removed her orange polo shirt and put on a black t-shirt with bright angel wings on the back. She slipped out of her white chino pants and put on a black venus pajama pant. Angela slowly walked up to her bed and crashed, still having her sore muscles. She heard Hana running around in her room next to hers, and then stopped. Then Hana ran out of her room and popped in front of Angela's doorway.
"Can I...?" Hana hesitated to ask, slowly pointing her finger up to Angela.
Angela put her hands on her face and nodded. "Turn off the lights."
Hana went back in her room and turned off her light, coming back to Angela's room afterward to do the same. She jumped on top of the bed, and hugged Angela tight, who was in pain due to the sore muscles. Angela, however, didn't want to say anything. She didn't want to tell Hana to let go because she was causing her pain, she didn't want Hana to feel bad. Tomorrow, she would only be free in the morning before she goes back to work... she'll have to call either Genji or Fareeha to watch over Hana.
"Hana, that reminds me... who do you want to look after you? Genji or Fareeha?" Angela asked.
"I want you," Hana pouted.
"I know you do, but I'm going to work in the morning. I'll only be with you for a short while."
"Is work more important than me?" Hana puffed her cheeks and glared at Angela.
"What? Hana, you're more important to me than anything. You don't understand, I have to go to work. My job is important, I save lives and help people, you'll understand one day," Angela said as she kissed Hana on the forehead.
"Hpmh!" Hana returned the kiss on Angela's cheek. "I want... Can't I have Lena?"
"Lena?"
"Yeah! She's so fun and cool! She's like, 'cheers luv! The calvary's 'ere!'" Hana said with the worst british accent ever, because it was collided with her korean accent as well. Though the words still sounded adorable to Angela. "She always plays video games with me, and she's really good!"
"I'm sure you're better than her though, correct?" Angela chuckled.
"Of course, no one can beat me! I am... D.Va! Yeah!"
"Diva?" Angela questioned.
"Yeah! That's how people should know me! I'll become famous that way, you'll see!" Hana grinned, her missing tooth revealed again. It made Angela blush on how cute Hana was when she grinned... that big goofy grin of hers...
"I'll call Lena tomorrow, but if she can't come, you have to choose between Genji or Fareeha. Who do you want? Just in case," Angela said.
Hana tapped her cheek with her finger. "Hmm, I think I'll have... Fareeha. She let's me do whatever I want!"
"Yeah... I need to talk to her about that...," Angela reached for the cover on her feet and pulled it up on top of them. "Good night Hana."
"Night Mom," Hana said, and buried her head in Angela's neck.
*Okay, short chapter, but there's more chapters to come. Don't worry, just because Pharah is first doesn't mean that she's actually first, it'll be Genji. It's only at the end, when Mercy comes back is when she gets a little chance with Pharah, so... I'm doing both on the next chapter for you guys. I think I did okay here, though I do need to add more detail, especially the kitchen, but too much details bores people out, even me haha.*
