Being deaf can really mess with a person's mind if they had it prior, you can still hear in dreams and its only when you wake up does it feel as if you entered the dream or in that case, a nightmare. Lúcio awoke, his room dark and quiet. He hated it, he had started to wake up in the middle of the night. Especially if he had napped the day before, but Mercy recommended it. He was to rest and rest, and he had enough of it. He got up and rubbed his eyes, he looked over to the clock on his bed side table. When he saw the time then he flopped back on his bed again, growling. It was only one in the morning, he had only gone to bed three hours ago. He was wide awake and most likely wouldn't be able to sleep again for hours. Once he was out if bed then he went to walk around, not the safest thing to be doing on his own but then he thought of doing some maintenance on his gear. That would mean that he would have to sit at his desk however and he really wanted to walk around first, to stretch his legs. He decided on pacing in his room, going back and forth for a little while before heading to the desk that had his amplifier and tools on top.

Lúcio lost track of time and before he knew it. He saw movement out of the corner of his eye and he turned to his door to find Zenyatta there. Lúcio quickly looked over to his clock, he had managed to let hours go by somehow without noticing. It was seven in the morning, Zenyatta headed to where Lúcio had left his phone on his bed before heading to Lúcio.

-Could you not sleep again?-

Zenyatta wrote out and showed to Lúcio, who nodded and turned to take the phone.

-All this resting that I have been doing has messed around with my sleeping schedule-

Lúcio explained before writing again.

-I know that Mercy wants me to stay rested, but this is getting on my nerves. I would like to leave my room-

Zenyatta nodded in understanding, taking the phone once again to speak.

-Well the others are going to be heading out for a mission soon, if you want then you can come say goodbye and walk around. I will be staying back to take care of you-

He wrote and Lúcio frowned. He didn't want to be taken care of, he was twenty-six after all. Zenyatta saw this as Lúcio asked for his phone.

-Did Mercy ask you to do so, wouldn't it be better if you went with them?-

He wrote and handed the phone back over.

-I thought so as well, yes Mercy did.-

-They are about to leave soon, would you like to go?-

Zenyatta asked and Lúcio nodded, standing up from his chair. He had almost finished putting his amplifier together, when he returned then he would finish. Lúcio got his phone back before following Zenyatta out of his room and they headed for the hanger, where they had a single plane in it. It otherwise held a lot of empty space. Tracer spotted them first and zipped on over, she always seemed energised and in the morning was no different. Lúcio was quick to hand her his phone once she was over.

-Aw love you came to see us off-

She wrote quickly and wrapped an arm around him as she continued to write.

-Don't worry, you will be joining us soon-

She wrote and showed him with a smile, Lúcio went to return it before he looked over to where the others where by the ship. He noticed heading over in her mech, he gave her a wave before she got to them. popped out of her mech and jumped at them, crashing into them. She held a face of annoyance as she did, taking Lúcio's phone off Tracer.

-I don't want to go on another mission without u, it's so much more interesting with u around-

She wrote out and Lúcio smiled sadly before taking the phone.

-You know that you can listen to my music even if I am not there-

He wrote out and shook her head before taking it back.

-No, we all want you there. You make it more interesting and bearable-

She wrote out and Lúcio looked at her, he did want to go. He was done with being stuck at the watchpoint, so he understood her frustration. He was also the most mobile healer that they had, being able to get around on his own easily. Something that he was quiet proud of.

-I also think that we need you there-

added in and Lúcio sighed before taking the phone.

-I can't help that, just stay safe. Both of you-

Lúcio wrote out and the two of them hugged him tight before pulling away, Tracer gave a smile and a wave before zipping back towards the ship. got back in her mech and followed after as well once Lúcio walked to it with Zenyatta.

He and Zenyatta watched the group of them leave for the mission; Tracer, , Soldier, Mei, and Mercy. almost didn't go, being stubborn on leaving him alone once again. He had told her that she was stupid, that she would return soon enough and that he had Zenyatta with him so he wasn't alone. Lúcio put on a smile, of course, as they left, but once the plane left then his face fell. Zenyatta looked at him, he glanced back over and then looked away quickly. Zenyatta took the phone from Lúcio's gripped hand. Zenyatta asked if he was willing to join he and Genji for the day, Lúcio thought about it and shook his head. Explaining that he had to finish his amplifier from the clean out that he had done in the night. Zenyatta understood and headed back with him. Lúcio also didn't want to be left in a room with nothing to do with two people who weren't going to be doing anything.

It had taken him longer then he thought that it would take to put it back into one piece, he almost forgot some parts at stages of the reconstruction. When he finished he found that it had taken so long that there wouldn't be a point to go find Zenyatta and Genji, he would only disrupt them at that point. He got up to his feet and headed for his door, he knew that someone must be around. His mind brought Reinhardt to mind, he was resting after having a number of missions back to back. He was much older than the rest of them and need that rest. Lúcio headed for the training room, he hadn't been there for a while as he simply had no need to go there. There he found Reinhardt, doing some light exercise. Light only applied to him however, Lúcio couldn't even imagine trying to lift that much. The older man noticed him walking in, and put down the weights before turning to him.

'Oh Lúcio…' he trailed off as he remembered the fact that he wouldn't be heard. He didn't have much practice on the whole being deaf situation as he hadn't seen the younger man as often as he would have liked. Lúcio was already prepared for that as he held out his phone for the other to take.

-It's good to see you, when do you think that Mercy will be able to fix you all up-

Reinhardt right out said and Lúcio thought back to what she had told him.

-She told me that I would have to wait until the swelling in my ears die down, to see if it can still recover it-

Lúcio wrote out and the other nodded.

-That makes sense I think-

-How are you holding up, a few days must be starting to get to you-

Reinhardt wrote and looked at him with a look of worry. Lúcio realised that he was the first to get to the point, the others had tiptoed around the subject. Well, all but Mercy, but that was her job.

-It got to me in the first hour, maybe even less-

Lúcio wrote and Reinhardt pulled him into a bear hug, Lúcio normally loved hugs but he didn't like it at that moment. Where Reinhardt patted the back of his head like a child, Lúcio felt his eyes burn with the threat of tears. He wanted to push by it and ignore it, that wasn't going to happen however as he leaned into the hug. It was something about Reinhardt, something that always made you feel protected. With or without his armour on. And the old man knew that, knew that he had that affect and used it often. After a moment he let him go and started to write again.

-You will be fixed before you know it-

He wrote with a smile before a frown came to him and he started to write again.

-It can always be fixed, with technology if need be-

He wrote out, though he seemed as if he was thinking back to something in the past. He shook his head, more to himself before he looked back at Lúcio.

-Sorry, I just though back a little in time-

-To when this sort of thing was much harder to come by, I am glad that science learnt how to make people whole again-

He wrote and smiled again, handing the phone back to Lúcio.

-I can't imagine going back to that, I would have had problems if it was still that way. Want to tell me an old story of yours?-

Lúcio asked and he saw Reinhardt laugh, it's a shame that he couldn't hear it. Reinhardt shook his head at the end however, holding out his hand for the phone.

-I think that it would be very hard for me to tell it like this, how about I just tell you one when you can hear me, how about that?-

Lúcio's face light up in embarrassment, how long would they have to sit there for him to tell a story? Far to long for it to be any good. Reinhardt patted his back with a smile, telling him to calm down with a show of his hand.

-I will make sure that it's a good one, how about that?-

He wrote out and Lúcio nodded, he always liked the older man's stories and it was something that he was actually looking forward to.

-It should be about lunch time now, so how about we go get something to eat and try to figure out what to do for the rest of the day-

Lúcio followed him out of the room, just noticing that he hadn't eaten anything yet that day.

By the time that the others had returned it was already late at night, but they seemed somewhat proud of themselves. Tracer zipped onto the couch where Lúcio and Reinhardt sat once she had gone to go change clothes, she was smiling and hyper. She was excited about something, something important as she was quick to look around for Lúcio's phone. She spotted it in between Lúcio and Reinhardt, she leapt across Lúcio to grab it and jumped back to write. had also ran in and jumped next to Tracer as they both wrote, the only difference was that was out of breath.

-On the mission we got something to fix your hearing-

Tracer showed him with a smile before pushed in front of her for her own message to be seen.

-It was in with this gear that was in a load that we got back from what Talon had stolen, Mercy also got in contact with a surgeon friend that knows how to do the surgery to put it in-

She wrote and Lúcio felt himself pale, the other two saw that and where quick to write reassurances.

-Its small-

Tracer wrote and jumped in right after.

-It's not a big surgery-

Lúcio hadn't thought about surgery, how hadn't he thought about it. He rubbed his face and the other two panicked a bit before Lúcio took back his phone from Tracer to write.

-I just hadn't thought about it is all-

He explained and glanced over at the two of them.

-I will be fine, but I can see why the two of you were so excited when you came back-

He wrote and the two of them smiled again before Tracer jumped forward to give him a hug, she pulled away within a second. Jumping up on her feet before zipping off, he looked to for an answer.

-She is helping Winston with something-

She explained and Lúcio nodded.

-It would be nice to get my hearing back-

Lúcio wrote and he saw sigh

-It would be nice if we didn't have to type to talk-

wrote with a look and then continued.

-plus I want to listen to music without feeling guilty-

She added in and Lúcio gave a sad look, he hadn't known that.

-But never mind that, how about some matches?-

She asked and Lúcio got up with a smile, they both said a goodbye to Reinhardt in their own ways before rushing off.
