I quickly stuffed all my research into my bag. I will perfect this, after all Genji was near death when we found him, and he's now functioning as far as i can tell. He hadn't been by in months, something to do with attacks in Hanamura, He would be in contact if anything needed work done. Walking into the lab and Winston looking down at me.

" we wanted to start with bugs first" he confessed.

"not a problem" wincing as he killed a large cockroach, and handed me my Caduceus.

"now show me how it works..."

"well, i place my hand down on this part, and i say ' heroes never die' and then the revive should happen" Explaining my theories out loud always sounded stupid, but on paper the methods and science were soundproof, as far as i could tell.

"you see, here's the basic plan, and how the nanotech works... instead of just restoring hands, and feet... now it can restore full life form when fully increased in function..." laying out the plans, and indicating the processes.

Winston nodded. "well, give it a try"

i could feel my heart in my ears, squeezing the trigger like button and shouting "heroes never die" a gold light appeared, the partially squished bug curled up. "ugh, i guess there's a few more steps i need to consider, and this is just a bug aftera-oh!" The bug uncurled, but part of it vanished, "what the..." mist followed it.

"Doctor... what is that? " asked Winston

"i... i honestly don't know what i did... " grabbing a jar and ensnaring the bug inside.

"i think it's safe to say, we will not be taking that version into the field anytime soon"

" i understand, I'll get back to work" sealing the jar and studying the effects it had on the bug were a priority. It felt good to be working again, and to have the support backing it. A pat was felt on my shoulder

"thanks Winston"

"it's been a pleasure, keep me updated" he said while leaving.

Digging through my desk i found a new small notepad, " Cockroach A" was what i decided to title it. Quickly making my first observations on the bug. It's neither living, nor dead, if i used this on a person... oh god... no. No. This is for saving lives Angela, there's going to be failures, but the only true failure is death, now.. back to work!

Turning down the cells, and increasing the nanobots should work better than before, and shouldn't turn into the undead... but this is just another hope, I'll need to run it by Winston later. What time is it? The clock showed 11:30 pm... shit. Breakthroughs always made me lose track of time and everything. Flinging my notes into my bag and hurrying off to grab something to eat, probably just an apple, and tea for later. Sleep would be a welcomed thing.

For the next three months, most of my time was spent in my lab, working on the resurrection. Dealing with Ana's " you are eating for two " lectures, always in secret. We had already discussed where the child would go after it's birth. Since i had no family, Ana's family offered to look after the child. There's a lot i admire in Ana, actually, there is probably nothing i don't admire. She was beautiful, wise, kind and so compassionate. Her fire and her energy were contagious, and her doting ways with Fareeha were heartwarming. Fareeha was getting older now, going into her teens, she didn't know a thing about the child coming to stay with her, it was meant to be kept that way. I saw little of her as it was, and my belly wasn't as big as it should be for how far along i was, but everything looked normal. i just looked like i put on a bit of weight, which luckily could be played off as grief. However, eating was the last way i wanted to handle the situation. The bed was still always cold, his scent was fading in every way. I had snuck into his room and stole a bunch of his shirts, curling into them at night. Pathetic, but it helped with the nightmares. News of the explosion at headquarters had spread, the news was full of lies, saying that overwatch was potentially a terrorist organization. The investigation into the deaths of Reyes and Morrison were tearing apart the team more and more. Jesse had already packed his bags, and Lena contemplated starting the begriming of her personal world tour with him. But she didn't want to leave the group behind. My lab crew was completely gone, they left months before, and the growing stress and growing child weren't helping. I avoided leaving the building, i didn't want anyone picking up on my pregnancy, my grief or what happened. The United Nations was working hard at the investigation, and the human welfare inside the building. Countless hours spent going over what i was trying to accomplish, how it would save lives, but they didn't care, they were looking for reasons to destroy us.

Ana kept randomly disappearing, she said she had some leads and was trying to be as covert as possible. But today was the day i needed to move out of my in building flat, and to the studio i shared with Jack, i was three weeks away from 8 months. When jack was alive i worried he would figure it out, but i was working so hard to keep him and Gabe from attacking each other, that i didn't want the news to be tarnished, ugh, keep telling myself that. But in truth, i was worried about the rift, i wanted them to be civil before revealing the news. I was also worried with his new position that he could lose his job, sure we could have played it off as i got randomly pregnant by someone random. But that wasn't who he was. He would own up to anything he did. Eating the last bit of ice cream (that he bought!), using the last bit of shampoo or even forgetting the tiniest things.

"ready to go love?" asked Lena scooping up a box. "it's a good thing it's winter!" she said pointing at my puffy jacket. "then again, it's hard to tell Anyways, you sure it's not just a food burrito?"

Rolling my eyes and laughing "oh I'm sure..." She shot me a smile. It was so kind of her to help me, we had been slowly moving stuff out for weeks, trying to avoid any suspicion. But today was the day, the last of my lab notes i had ticket into a bag.

"okay, love, I'll meet you there!" she said zipping off at lightening pace. i waddled down the streets, with my bag in my hands. Something felt weird . i picked up my other phone and dialed Winston.

" Eyes on me" i stated simply.

"I'm on it" he replied grumpily. He sighed, marching outside. He was more of a higher target than i was, so i welcomed the brief distraction while i darted down the street, taking the longer route.

Finally the welcomed site of my studio came into view. Trotting up to the door, and smiling seeing Lena propped up against some previously moved boxes.

"what took ya so long?"

"I'm not you! and i had some of our watchful friends keeping an eye out on me" i flatly said.

Lena picked up a photo from a box near her "this one's so cute!" she exclaimed, it was Jack and i during one of our brief "vacations" his hand in my hair and we were staring directly into each others eyes, smiles practically rendering our faces useless. But now it's just a memory, that's what pictures are good for, reminding you, hurting you.

"that's one of my favorites... but I'm missing my absolute favorite, probably got lost in the move or something. someone could have found it so i wouldn't blame anyone for destroying it".

"nobody would have destroyed it"

"we are currently under investigation, have you not noticed the piles upon piles of work that has been destroyed? years of work, just... destroyed" i was crying again, this happened more frequently now, I'll blame the hormones.

"uhm, do you need me to stay tonight? we could watch some movies and drink some... uh.. milk?"

Smiling i responded "i would love that, besides the goon squad is lurking, better you be out having a fling, than be caught wandering into the base late"

We laughed and made some popcorn, watching some random movies i had been collecting throughout the years. I always tried to have foreign films, it helped keep me fluent in multiple languages. Tonight's choice i thought was appropriate for Lena "Run, Lola, Run", it's a much older film now, but the filming style was perfect,and i knew she would love it. With everything that has been going on, i was truly grateful for Lena, she had already fallen asleep and i curled next to her as usual when we did these nights.

A/N: i'm so sorry, another short one, i have more chapters ready but i don't want to overwhelm anyone.

Edited: apparently i messed up and had this chapter attached to the previous chapter, if this is your first read-through then you are fine! it got edited, and that's about all, then some typos cleaned up!
