Kore and Soldier:76 quickly walked, the snow crunching under their feet. As they traversed the harsh, cold landscape, a drop ship soared above their heads, before doing a 180° turn and slowing down. It cautiously hovered down towards the ground. It got as close as possible and its doors slowly opened, coming into contact with the ice and snow.

As they boarded, Kore could feel judgmental, yet fearful, eyes fall upon him. But as his gaze wandered around the ship, among all the hardened soldiers, terrified recruits and new heroes (obviously called in should the situation have gotten out of hand) there was one face who just beamed happiness.

It was, of course, Mercy. She was a grown woman, yes, but she couldn't help but be taken back to years before, when she was just a young woman and he was just a small child. Despite the horrible things that he did, she guessed she just understood. She knew that he had all that time travel business. Something that played a big part in his life.

She knew him better than anyone. So she figured that out that his intentions wera somewhat pure. Using this as evidence, she believed that everything he did was for the greater good. The reason that Kore knew he could count on Angela was because they shared a mutual trust. It was stronger than anything else in the world.

Kore took one look at her, before she got up and quickly walked over to him. He stepped back, preparing for what he knew was coming. Angela threw her arms around him and squeezed him as tightly as her small, fragile body could. She took a step back. She inhaled deeply, taking in the sight of her beautiful son, now a grown man. She felt happy.

Once again, she wrapper herself around him. Except this time she was more gentle. She softly pressed her head against his chest and let go of her deep breath. She longed for the moment that she could hug him again. In all honesty, she hadn't had physical contact with another person for months. Except for patients, but that doesn't really count.

Finally, she said something. "I missed you, sweetie". Well, now Kore was annoyed. After all this and she was just trying to embarrass him. He replied "Ang, I'm really not in the mood. I get that its been a long time but really?". Angela retreated and rubbed her hands down her Valkyrie Suit, as if she were trying to straighten out creases.

"I'm sorry, Kore. Its just that, well..." her voice trailed off. Kore smiled at her. "Its alright. I get it." he answered. Mercy grabbed him by the arm and led him to one of the two tables in the ship. There was one in the opposite corners. She sat in the corner and invited him to sit next to her.

He rolled his eyes, then reluctantly sat down and shuffled over to Mercy. She grabbed his hand. Kore looked up at her, only to see her smiling brighter than the sun. He just smiled back and slid down in his seat.

He ended up getting the best sleep he had in weeks. He glanced around the small space. He noticed that Soldier was looking at him. The older man gestured for Kore to come over to him. Kore teleported over to Soldier's position. "What do you want, Morrison?" he questioned.

The old man remained silent. "You know what? I'm just gonna go back to sleep.". As he got up to leave, Morrison grabbed his arm. "You will not hurt her." was all the older man said. Kore was quite confused. Why would he ever hurt Angela? He replied "When have I ever harmed her before? What makes you think I would?".

Morrison reached to his face and slowly removed his visor. He was not afraid of taking it off now. Everyone else was sound asleep. "You hurt her more than you realise. You didn't just leave Overwatch. You left her. Who she cared about most just up and left without a trace. You broke her that day".

Kore felt a sudden rage start to boil inside of him. He wouldn't let some old has-been tell him off. "I didn't just leave, asshole! I fucking DIED. I was there at Zurich. But you wouldn't remember, would you? You know why? Because thats how I became this. I was erased from history! As far as the laws of time go, I DON'T FUCKING EXIST! And thats your fault. If you had just let Reyes walk past you in the hall. But you had to pick him up on his attitude. You were the lead commander. Not a kindergarten teacher."

Kore felt all those eyes on him once again. "It may seem like some small, petty detail but not to me. I control time. I went back, time and time again, trying to stop it from happening but I couldn't. But think about it. Just because you had to start an argument over the guys fucking attitude thousands of people died. And me."

Angela had made her way over to Kore. She snaked her hand around his hand and tangled her other arm around it. She stared at him.

"You were there?"

AN: So, how about that. 10 chapters in. You know, I'm quite happy with how this has turned out. It already has 20 favorites and 29 follows, so this being my first story I'm quite proud of that. So after this chapter goes up I'm quite confident that after a while we'll reach 30 follows, just to give me the satisfaction of having an even number. But thanks so much to everyone who has favorited and followed, it means a lot. So in the next chapter I'll try to get Kore into Overwatch and provide some background with the other heroes that he sees as he moves around the Watchpoint.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed. If you did, please favorite and follow this story.
