"Now then where should we begin?" Moira asked as Hauru stood up from her position, her head down. Silent.
"Ah, first things first:...heel." the word had a sharp tone to it, Hauru felt like she had been whipped. Hauru took a deep breath and took her first step toward Moira. She slowly came to the scientist's side in silence.
"Good girl...that wasn't so hard now was it?" Moira stated, she reached out her hand and patted Hauru's head softly, making Hauru cringe at the touch. It was gentle but sinister nonetheless. The scientist's hand went to her side and there was a golden flash similar to Mercy's healing stream. The bullet wound soon vanished from Hauru's side but she didn't even notice.
"Now let's go to your chambers, you must be hungry." Hauru followed Moira in silence to the door.
She didn't even glance at the bodies on the ground that she had created. All she stared at was she her feet, the cold steel underneath them seemed endless. She saw her reflection through the dark squares she walked over. She studied herself and her golden eyes with concern. She would be stuck here her whole life now. She would never see Sandulf again, she would never hear the warmth of Angela's voice. She would never hear the energetic, playful, giggle of Tracer as she blinked away in a flash after she touched her ears. The smell of Mei's hot chocolate on a cold night she would certainly miss. The booming voice of Reinhardt, the racing car games Dva and Lucio would play. Zenyatta's stories, Genji's soothing voice of comfort as he helped Mercy wash the blood off her face and arms. McCree's hat...she would miss that too along with Winston and Athena's science conversations she never understood. So many things...all gone...but the price of that was worth paying.
When they arrived at her cell door Moira opened the solid metal door that she had escaped out of so many times. She walked in slowly, accepting her fate. The bars of her cage reflected off the polished floor, a reminder of the life she now faced.
"Here." Moira's voice spoke, making Hauru turn to see a soldier toss her a slab of raw meat.
"Eat up. You have a big day tomorrow." her hollow voice echoed in her ears before the door closed behind her.
Hauru held the slab of meat to find it dry and stringy when she looked at it. She wasn't hungry though. Anger built in her as she stared down at the meat before she chucked it at the bars of her cage. It flew to the bars at high speed and hit one. Electricity shot through it, making it turn into a black husk of what it once was. Hauru then ran to her door and pounded her fists against the metal like all the times she did before. The fury quickly burned out as sadness overwhelmed her. She turned her back toward the door and leaned up against it as she slowly slid down to the ground. She then placed her head on her knees and sat alone in the cage she would remain in for the rest of her life.
She remembered Mercy's stunned face when the soldiers dragged her out of the torture room. Hauru cursed herself for not being able to free them but she knew that Moira wouldn't go with the fact of Talon freeing both Genji and Mercy. The only thing she could do is to make sure no harm came to them by doing what Talon wanted.
There were only a few things Genji remembered. He remembered Overwatch was retreating the battle after they were being overrun by Talon soldiers. Bombs and gunshots rained down at them as they dodged through buildings and streets. Mercy flew above them, watching over them, her staff in hand, taking the rear of her team. Genji was also behind the group, making sure everyone was getting away safely. There was a sudden snapping sound which made him skid to a stop and look up. He had watched in horror as Mercy crash-landed not far from him, her wings were dismembered and mangled. Genji went back to her before they both got caught up in an explosion, leaving them unconscious.
When he woke up he found himself in a brightly lit white cell that was large and spacious. Metal bars allowed him to look into the dark hall. His faceplate and swords were gone while his armor was still intact. He sat up while he scanned the area around him. Where was he? Suddenly a beeping noise sounded from the other side of his cell door. A soldier came in dragging Mercy by her wrist. He threw her into the cell and slammed the door behind him as Mercy scrambled to her feet. She went to the door and pounded her fists against the cold steel.
"Let her go! She doesn't deserve this!" she screamed as the sound of her pounding echoed through the facility.
Genji went to her side as she pounded the door. Her wings were gone, and part of her suit was ripped. He reached out for her shoulder but she quickly turned away from the door. She went to the bars of the cell and looked out with a desperate look in her eyes. He heard Mercy cry out in pain as she let go of the bars of their cage.
Genji went to her side immediately and took her hand that she was holding. Mercy looked at him suddenly with wide eyes as if she didn't even know he was there. She stared at him as he scanned her hand.
"Genji…" she whispered, tears began to form in her eyes.
"What is it?" Genji asked, puzzled by her tears. The tears streamed down her face as she lowered her head, making the tears fall to the floor. Genji pulled her close to him and wrapped his arms around her.
She cried into his shoulder as they sank down to their knees. He held her there for a while as the tears dripped down his armor. He hated seeing her cry. She rarely ever cried but when she did it tore Genji apart. He tightened his hold on her shuddering shoulders.
"What's wrong?" he asked her after she had quietened for a moment. He felt her take a deep breath before she answered him.
"They have Hauru," she stated, Genji's eyes widened at the name he heard.
"What?" was the only word he could speak as shock struck him like an arrow. Mercy was starting to cry again.
"You should have seen her...they muzzled her like a dog...she was bleeding...and then she…" tears streamed down the doctor's face.
"Ahh such a sad sight to see…" a low, dark voice spoke from the shadows of the hallway. Both Genji and Mercy turned to see Moira was standing in the shadows with a triumphant grin on her face. Mercy suddenly sprang to her feet and ran to the bars of the cell. She stopped before Moira.
"What did you do with her?" Mercy asked coldly, rage and panic were shown in her blue eyes. Moira chuckled.
"She is back where she belongs...in a cage," Moira said cooly, the smile still on her face.
"How can you do that, she's a child?!" Genji snapped, he was beside Mercy now, staring at Moira as she chuckled again a dark gleam showed in her eyes.
"She isn't a child...she's a monster...made for the purpose of war...and that is what she will be for the rest of her short miserable life." Moira mocked, she watched the rage build in the agents.
"Verdammt Sie! She doesn't deserve this!" Mercy snapped, Moira's smile got bigger.
"Of course she does. Like I said she's a monster, a war dog. Nothing more...it's intriguing though, I have never seen her so desperate...you recall what she did for you both don't you Dr. Ziegler?" Moira asked Genji looked down at Mercy whose face was reflecting panic.
"She gave up her freedom...something I admire from her...she did it for you both…" Moira said she watched Genji's face turn from rage to shock, this made the scientist chuckle a little.
"Pity...the tests she will go through will take a toll on her." Moira pulled out a small vial of red liquid from her pocket and held it up to them.
"This serum...I have tested this for years now and she will be my first test subject I test it on...this will make her stronger, faster, tougher but...there's a catch." Moira mocked, she looked at Mercy who was staring at the serum with wide, worried eyes.
"Her life...will be shortened...I guess she will die in her thirties at most...shame really…" Moira watched as the tears from Mercy stream down her face.
"What did you call her...Hauru?" Moira asked she didn't get an answer.
"Hm, so you've given it a name...pathetic…" With that Moira was gone, leaving both Genji and Mercy in shock.
Mercy fell to her knees and buried her face in her hands. Her sobs echoed through the cell as the tears rained down her face. Genji was motionless, taking in the shock of Moira's words. He looked down at Mercy who suddenly threw her head up and screamed in grief. Her screaming echoed through the facility as she hugged herself. Genji felt rage build up in him and went to the steel door. He screamed in rage and punched the door in fury, making a dent in the solid steel. He kept punching the door in his rage until he found it to be no use. Tears now streamed down his face as he placed his head against the steel.
"Hauru…" he whispered softly as he went to his knees, his fists clenched tightly.
Mercy's sobs made him look back at her, she was leaning down over her knees, the tears dripped down on the floor as she hugged herself. He went to her slowly and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. She tensed at his touch but didn't resist it. Together they let their tears fall to the polished floor, their sobs softening slightly.
