We'd been in London for a few weeks, waiting for Talon's next attack. I'd seemingly began to fit in with the rest of the crew. I stayed with Angela though, but not just because I had a crush on her. She was kind, supportive, and we'd formed a close bond in combat- becoming an unstoppable pair. I was able to get Mercy to others faster than she was able to on her own. People started referring to us as 'The Pharmercy' and Angela seemed to be quite amused by it, but I'm sure I blushed every time someone mentioned it. London was beautiful. After picking me up in Cairo and receiving some more information on the next Talon attack, we came straight here. The whole city was amazing, and seemed so alive, contrasting to the hot, dead sands of Egypt. Lena was extremely overjoyed to be back home, and we got to meet her girlfriend, Emily. Winston constantly reminded us of our goal though, and the tourist feeling soon wore off as we prepared for our next encounter.
"Fareeha? I'd like to speak with you!" the blonde chimed in as I took a step out of the impromptu gym. "W-Why me?" I asked, looking around. I still hadn't gotten used to talking to Angela so much. She nodded, pulling on my arm. "Come to my office…" she suggested, pulling me along down a hallway. She swung open her door, and pulled me inside. "The door?" she said, letting go of me. I closed it, and sat beside her on couch. She sighed, glancing over at me. "The others- they think we're- ah- romantically entangled." She said, her stark blue eyes glancing at her nails. I felt the blush rise to my cheeks. "And why did you drag me to your office to tell me this?" I said stifly. "No, I just- wanted to mention it. I was wondering..on the next mission, Winston wants me to take out the new members to get some on-field experience. Can you come with me?" She said, watching me with puppy dog eyes. "You're the only one who really knows how to help me out there. I need you." She continued on, seemingly closer to me than before. "Of course, Doctor." I mumbled, as Angela pushed her weight against my shoulder. "Thank you, Fareeha." she said warmly, hands In her pockets. "Say, Angela, my armor is damaged. I best take it to Torbjorn, okay?" I said awkwardly, trying to stand up. "O-Oh. Ja, of course." Angela said, looking down sullenly. "But I can stay, if you tell me what you think about people thinking we're...dating." I blurted out, looking at her. Her pale face slowly heated up. "I-Well, that's a difficult question to answer. I think that you're an amazing person. And if I was to- you know, 'date' anyone here, I'd like it to be you. I mean, we're like best friends, right?"
Lena held my Helmet in her hands as we made way to Torbs shop. "I dunno. I definitely think you two are a match made in heaven. Angela don't like talking to people too much. She's always been quiet. Till she met you, that is." The Brit said, piling some of my gear onto Torbs desk. "I think we're just friends, that's all." I sighed, jotting down a note thanking Torbjorn for agreeing to take a look at my armor for me. "Well I think you two will be snogging in a weeks time." Lena said, chuckling as she clasped me on the back. "I said that we're friends." I repeated, shuffling into Lena and I's shared quarters. Rooms were stuffed at the London HQ. "I bet you can trade spots with Mei, ya know. Sleeping in the same room would jumpstart your relationship!" Lena chuckled, falling onto her bed. "Shut up, Oxton." I mumbled tiredly, slipping into my Pyjamas.
"Alright, rolecall time." Angela said cheerily, her Valkyrie suit donned, as she stood at the head of the plane's seating area. "Hana?" Angela called out, looking at a tablet. "Here." The Korean called from her seat. "Lucio?" Lucio straightened out, sitting forward. "Audio medic, ready to amp it up!" Angela smiled, her perfect lips curv- stop. I chided myself, looking down. "Fareeha?" Angela said sweetly, actually taking the time out to look at me. "Here, Doc." I said, and Lena flashed me a grin. "Lena?" Angela called. "Cheers luv!" She said happily. "Rienhardt?" she asked. "Here!" he said, his loud voice scaring Hana and Lucio. "Angela, here." she muttered, pressing a few buttons on the tablet before going to sit directly beside me. "Lena, let's get outta here." Angela said with a polite nod, looking over at me with those stunning blue eyes. "Keep the skies clear for me?" She said, almost worriedly, and I struggled to pull my eyes away. "we'll keep the skies clear together." I mumbled quietly, and she leaned forward to peck me on the nose. "W-What?" I said, a little stunned. "For good luck." she explained, looking me straight in the eye, her cheeks slightly red. "W-well, ah, I don't anything to worry about." I said, looking back at the Swiss.
