For half a year Talon kept Amélie as a prisoner, they starved her, gave her just enough food to keep her alive, gave her small amounts of water and told her that her husband didn't love her and would never come for her. She didn't believe them at first, but as months went by of being stuck in this cell, she started to lose track of time and reality. She started to believe them and she started accept that her fate, that she would eventually die in her cell. The happiness she had in her, started to fade away and all that was left of her after those agonizing 6 months, was a woman whose hope had faded away. In the beginning she cried a lot, but as time went by, there were no tears left to cry. She broke, Talon broke her.

During that time, she was told that she was loved by Talon and that they would take good care of her, she started to believe every word they said. She was being brainwashed by them, but she was to far from reality to take notice.

After those 6 months Talon subjected her to an intense program of neural reconditioning. They broke her will, suppressed her personality, and reprogrammed her as a sleeper agent.

She was released once the program was done and they left her somewhere, where they knew Overwatch would find her.

She layed by the side of the road near the Overwatch headquarters unconscious, Jack Morrison was the one to find her. Recognizing the woman, he brought her inside the headquarters to their doctor, Angela Ziegler. Running many checks on Amélie and not finding anything, Overwatch figured that Talon didn't think Gérard would come. One thing didn't click in Jack's mind, if Talon didn't see the use in her anymore, why would she still be alive? He shook the thought of, thinking of it as pure paranoia.

Gérard rushed into the Headquarters, having just heard the news of Amélie's return. Once he saw her in the Mercy's office, he ran over to her and pulled the woman into a warm embrace.

"Amélie! I thought Talon killed you! God I'm happy you're back!" Gérard was genuinely happy with his wife's return.

Amélie, thanks to Talon's experimenting, could not feel any emotion upon seeing her husband again. She was told to go back to her normal life by Talon, so she did.

Gérard had to leave Amélie due to a mission, but he wasn't worried, because she had to stay at the headquarters for a while for further examination by Angela.

Amélie was having a little tour around the headquarters, she didn't have anything to do, so she decided to have a look at her surroundings. Amélie was almost knocked to the ground when a younger girl ran into her.

"Oh I'm sorry Amélie!" The girl called out, catching Amélie before she could fall.

"It's alright, it happens." Amélie told the girl, it was Lena Oxton.

"It's great to have you back!" The young brit exclaimed as she scanned over Amélie's body, checking for anything unusual, like wounds. The french woman seemed no different than usual, only more silent, which wasn't that surprising considering she was held hostage for so long by Talon.

"Yes it's great to be back."

Amélie and Lena have never really had a conversation, they've seen each other at party's and greated each other, but that's about it. Amélie was always chatting with everyone at the party's and Lena was to scared to talk to her, something about the beautiful french woman made her nervous.

"Well, I should get going, see you around Amélie!" Lena waved as she walked off in a rush, the brit always seemed to be in a rush.

Amélie watched Lena take off as she continued her tour around Overwatch, she went into the archive room, deciding to go through some files. It was mostly just information about Talon, their members and missions. She didn't find the files that interesting, so she continued her search and her eyes landed on a file with her own name. Curiously Amélie took the file and scanned through it, it was just basic information until the last page.

"Amélie Lacroix, Talon's most recent victim, murdered and hidden."

Looking at the date of the paper, it was the day after she was kidnapped. Overwatch didn't even try to find her, they just declared her dead. Amélie put the file back in it's place and left the archive room, continueing her tour once again and soon returning to the dorms, where she was granted a room for two weeks.
