Chapter 11 Dead. Dreams. Dawn

Abel's Dreams / Humanities Conflict

-Insert theme: What's the Price of a Mile by Sabaton-

He awoke in a devastated bunker, he didn't leave it like that last time. Abel stood up and groaned, his dream self was bruised and bloodied from what ever happened. He examined the damage and came to one conclusion "Did i get shelled..? And why is everything... Normal..?" he barley noticed but he wasn't the half rotten corpse he usually was and the world wasn't made of flesh and marrow. Abel crawled out the devastated bunker and noticed the whole fort was under siege, he could see the field guns firing, men charging on the fields, fields that where green.

Abel had no place in this war zone, he quickly looked through the rubble for anything that would help him. All he found was an old white button up shirt, a Brodie helmet Mk 1, a pair of pants, boots and leg wraps. No weapons, great, Abel sighed and got dressed quickly. He could hear movement behind him and quickly moved out of the way, a soldier in a black trench coat missed a charge with his riffle and bayonet.

Abel tackled the man down, picked up a small fragment or rubble and started smashing it into the man's face, getting bloodied up in the process. Abel picked up the dead man's riffle a Mauser Gewehr 1898 with bayonet and s full internal clip. "Alright... Now where the hell do i go..?" Abel rushed to the opposite direction of the war zone, he could see open fields as far as the eye could see, trees here and there. This would have been enjoyable if it didn't start raining, hard.

Abel groaned and started running into the field, unsure of why everything was changing, and unaware of the place he was heading, the bloodiest chapter in the history of Greta Britian.

-Song Ends-

Watchpoint:Gibraltar Medical Ward 7 PM

Angela was coming out of intensive care along with Winston and Mei, all 3 in turquoise medical clothes, Angela was sighing as she threw away the blue bloodied gloves. She was already used to this, Winston could stomach much worse, but Mei ran to the sink and started puking. "They should be better withing afew days... Good work you two." Angela said flatly to both her friends, she had been showing them some medical procedures in case she wasn't available. But this time she needed both of them to help her. Ana was the hardest of the two to stabilize, her spinal cord being damaged and exposed to the elements was the main problem, the second was her blood loss and internal bleeding. Thankfully Pharah was willing to give some blood to her mother via blood transfusion. Angela had to go hours along with her assistants to repair, heal, and seal Ana's back.

After her was Abel, his procedure wasn't as bad as Ana's, but his body from the inside was in horrible conditions. Internal bleeding, heart attacks, a collapsed lung, broken ribs, torn muscles, and broken arms where just the tip of the iceberg. Oddly however, when she started using her staff did Abel's body begin to heal rapidly, accepting the healing waves and repairing most of the damage, his procedure took only an hour. Winston took note for most of the procedures, and was the best candidate to hold down a disturbed Abel while he slept. Abel was not having good dreams, but he was still alive.

Mei finished her current actions and took a shallow breath "W... What should we do now..? I mean... We just..." Mei was cut off by Winston shaking his head and stating "Wait... We are all tiered and not in the right state of mind... Let's recollect ourselves and discuss this in the morning.." Angela nodded in agreement and went to the locker rooms. Mei snuk into Abel's room and left something there to keep an eye on him, her beloved drone Snowball "Listen... He is injured... If anyone tries something on him Snowball... Set the alarms off" Mei told her drone and he gave a low deep to confirm.

Winston watched as Mei closes the door to Abel's room "Good thinking... But keep in mind... He is not defenseless.." Winston said and walked away. Angela had finished changing, but she was not gonna leave. With Ana in such conditions and Abel unconscious she swore to stay the night and make sure nothing would happen to them. Winston agreed but insisted that 76 stay too to guard the halls. Angela agreed and let her two assistants leave for the night.

Watchpoint:Gibraltar Lena's Room 10 PM

Lena and Hana where both sitting silently in Lena's bedroom, they got informed as to what happened exactly, Hana was silently begging to god that Abel survives, Lena on the other hand was scared. Unlike her Korean friend, Pharah and her saw the amount of devastation that Abel and Reaper left in their fight. She also saw his expression, an alien look compared to his docile face. Rage and hatred personafide, everything bad about the human persona was embodied in him during the fight.

Lena looked at Hana and finally said it "I'm Scared." Hana looked st her abit puzzled "He will be okay... He hasn't surrendered before.." Hana reassured but was quickly replied to "Not of that... I saw him... He looked so... Evil... Like if he killed all the good in his soul... Like he could kill anyone who tried to get remotely close love..." Lena stated and had tears streaming down her cheeks. Hana could feel her worries and hugged the British woman tightly.

Lena cried herself to sleep that night, only asking one question "How could someone so kind be turned into something so horrid?"

Ana's Dreams

Ana was laying in a soft and plush bed, a soft blue blanket covering her body, she awoke when the sun gently caressed her eyes as it slowly creaked through her window, she yawned and finally opened her eyes, greeted by a familiar room, her room. Well, her old room, back in Egypt, her room was littered with photos she had fond memories of. One said photo was of her in a hospital bed, cradling a newly born Fareeha, another was a photo of her with the old Overwatch members, another was of her when she was a child sitting with her parents by the Nile River.

But besides those photos where other photos, more recently taken, they where all of her with a man, both either hugging or walking together. Ana sat up and stared at these photos, the way she seemed happy in them, but the face of the man was familiar, she paused and noticed she was sleeping in nothing but a baggy blue shirt and a pair of silk panties. She blushed but didn't object to it, the heat of the day would prove her current attire to be appropriate for her personal space. She stretched and looked out the window, the market streets slowly buzzing with vendors and shoppers of all color, race and nationalities.

Her attention was drawn back to her room, and one photo she didn't see earlier, it was her and the man, both sitting by the Nile, both their foreheads pressed together, her white hair let lose and gentely running down her back, and his dark raven hair up in a messy ponytail. Her eye closed as his are, his gentle smile reassuring any joy she felt on that day. Her dark skin contrasting his Almond Beige skin, she was wearing a blue summer dress with a black sash around her waist, while he wore a white button up and black pants. She knew the man in the photo, it was someone she cared dearly for, someone she swore to protect, it was her child, her lover.

"Abel.."

Medical Ward - Ana's Room 11 PM

Ana awoke panting hard, her dream being interrupted when she felt another person watching her, and she wasn't wrong, she found Angela staring at her, blushing at the Egyptian woman. "What happened..? How long have i been..?" Ana asked but was cut off by Angela "You got shot twice in the back... You have been out for afew hours... But... What where you dreaming..?" Angela asked a silent Ana, she knew she wouldn't respond and admitted "You where saying his name alot Ana..." Now Ana blushed harder.

Angela smiled and kept adding "He is also okay... He is a quick healer.." Ana looked and asked "Okay from what...? What happened to him?" Angela swore to herself and sighed "He took on Gabriel alone... Both fought with all they had... But Gabriel escaped." Ana was left speechless, her Abel took on a man she hated by himself. Angela explained with excruciating detail the fight, the way Abel just used everything, and sadly the outcome of Volskaya Industries or what was left of it.

"... I want to call in a favor Angela..." Ana demanded to the doctor, Angela raised a brow and asked "What favor...?" Ana leaned close to Angelas ear and whispered "Your assistance 7 years ago.." Angelas eyes widden, she remembered what she was talking about. 7 Years ago Angela was a young and ambitious woman, she saught out to help the best of the best in scientific and medical breakthroughs. She ended up helping a woman she thought highly of commit a single crime. "... What do you want...?" Angela asked and Ana whispered.

Medical ward - Abel's Room - Midnight

He was sleeping, his body again covered in cold sweat as he descended into his dream world, unaware to the arrival of an intruder. Said intruder shut snowball down and looked down at him "What have the Talon pigs and Overwatch wolves done to you my child...?" Moira sat by her son, she brought a whole set of syringes, both empty and full of a strange purple liquid. Moira took a blood sample from him and watched as the blood filled the syringe, she studied it, tasted it, and put it away. "How disappointing... They altered you so much... But somehow made you better... I saw it... You will defy everyone... You will kill god..." Moira stated until she felt another presence in the room, a certain doctor.

"Nurse Zielger... How long has it been darling?" Moira smirked and stood up, left arm outstretched over her creation in a protective manner, and she made a purple biotic orb come out of her right palm, Angela had her staff and wings on and replied "Dr Zielger... And far too long for this.." Mercy said as both doctors had a short stare down.

However they where interrupted by a certain young man tossing and turning "... Let's do this outside darling... My child has to rest after today's events.." Moira suggested as both left the medical ward through the emergency exit, unaware to Moira that the Silent alarm was tripped. Both women stared each other down again, both ready to fight under the moon light. "How did you know i was coming? Did you pick up my ship somehow?" Moira asked as she lunged at Mercy, trying to use her biotic arm on her. Mercy side stepped and hit Moira in the back of her head with her staff, and answered "After i examined his blood for the first time, i realized it was of your creation... How you did it i still don't know.."

Moira groaned and popped her neck she threw a purple orb at Mercy but she just dodges and lunges at Moira with her Guardian Angel ability, tackling Moira down "I supersede you Moira... Surrender.." Angela demanded as she held her Caduceus Blaster. Moira giggled and Faded to Mercy's back, and gripped her shoulder "Oh Darling... You think you are superior?!" Moira screamed at Mercy as she slammed her to the ground with one strong pull and push of her arm "I am genetically superior here... But i will enjoy partaking in some barbaric activities..." Moira added as she popped her knuckles.

Angela shot one round at Moira's chest and shot upwards. Her wings fully active giving her flight, she used her own staff on herself and aimed at Moira "I warned you Moira..." Moira grinned and was ready to use Coalessnce but was halted by a gun to the back of her head, a blade over her throat, and a rivet gun to her abdomen. "That's not fair Angela..." was all Moira said until her lights where put out via Reinhardt hitting the back of her head with the butt of his hammer.

Winston watched from his office and nodded at his team, Moira was taken to the holding cells, where Amèlie was and Angela hurried back to the ward. She found Abel still asleep and Ana waiting, Angela sighed and nodded at the Egyptian sniper and went to get changed to her medical uniform. Angela was about to do a procedure she had only heard of and red about in theory papers.

Watchpoint:Gibraltar Mess Hall 9 AM - The following Morning

Abel woke up, he was tiered, his body felt like absolute shit, and he felt like everything that made as much as an inaudible sound gave him a headache. He wandered the facility without a sign of anyone, until he reached the mess hall and found the early birds of the team eating or talking. However when he entered the place became deafening silent, he knew why and didn't even bother to explain himself, they all saw it. He grabbed his food and went to a lone table in the far end of the mess, everyone just watched him eat slowly, his hands and forearms bandaged and his hair lose, covering his eyes.

Roughly 3 minutes later did Lena and Hana arrive, they could feel the intense atmosphere and looked at the direction everyone was looking, and found the cause. Lena paralyzed right there, Hana also found it hard to move. Both could see Abel sulking by his lonesome, eating slowly and coughing every now and then. He didn't even bother to put a shirt on, he was bandaged from his waist up to his neck, underneath his body was horribly bruised.

Lena was the first to move, she stepped up to Abel's table and gave a weak smile "Mornin' Love... Umm hope you are getting better.." was all Lena could think of saying, Abel just stopped and looked away from her general direction. "Love, what's wrong?... You don't have to..." Lena was cut off as Hana joined in and sat infront of Abel and asked "Ummm hi... Why are you sitting here alone?" her voice was low but still had it's soft caring tone in it. Abel sighed and replied in a whisper, a strained and forced whisper "... Don't wanna hurt anyone.." he rubbed his neck and tried clearing his throat. Both women looked abit confused by his answer and asked simultaneously "Why would you hurt us?" Abel looked down and put his hands out, they where bandaged to keep the cuts and torn skin from getting damaged or infected.

He couldn't find the right words to reply to them, but tried anyways "I'm too... Strong..? No... Dangerous?... I Can't explain it... It just feels... Horrible... I feel like..." he stopped and coughed abit, he really couldn't find the right words "Like... If I'm ripping something... Like when you get angry... But worse... Like... Cold... Sharp... And lethal..." those where the last words he said before Hana hugged him, he yelled loudly in pain, Hana jumped off and watched him pant, she forgot about the bandages. Lena sighed and noticed everyone else watching and listening, she whispered to Both her friends "Abel, your room, 5 minutes.." then she leaned her head back, motioning to the rest of the team. Both nodded but Hana couldn't wait and gave him a quick, minute long, Kiss.

Abel blushed slightly and watched Hana give him a small smile and walked away, both women heading to the Hangar. Abel looked at the rest of the team and said "What..?" he was getting thumbs ups and afew nods, mainly from 76, Winston, Torbjörn and Mcree. This made him smile abit and finish his breakfast quickly.

Abel walked out the mess and made his way to the hangar, until he stopped and saw 2 women he didn't know walking to the mess, being escorted by Angela and Satya. Moira smiled at the boy, and Amèlie stared at him, "he looks cute when he isn't getting a wet one from that Egyptian wench" Amèlie thought and kept walking. Abel couldn't help but feel some sense of danger around them. He sighed and continued walking until he turned a corner and bumped into his step-sister. Abel was prepared to get punched but it never came, instead she looked and asked him "Has mother awoken yet?" Abel shook his head and looked down, Pharah groaned and pushed him aside "Then don't talk to me unless she wakes... Got it brother?" She told him, he nodded and kept walking, Pharah also noticed she was calling him brother, making her blush abit.

Watchpoint:Gibraltar Abel's room 10 AM

Abel was arriving to his room, he could hear two firmiliar voices inside talking, he knocked on the door and heard them rush to the door, Lena opened it and smiled her radiant smile at him "Come in Love, make yourself at home." she stated as she zipped back to his bed, Hana was looking through the selection of music he had, most of his "Favorites" where heavy rock, metal, and alternative Rock.

Abel walked to his closet and put on his hoodie and turned to look at his guests "Okay... What did you two wanna tell me?" he said in his low, sorrowful tone. Both of them pouted at that tone, Lena spoke up first "Well i wanted to ask..." she leaned close to him and gave him a small peck on his nose "...Are you really okay?" Abel blushed and Hana gave Lena a pout. Abel thought about it and sighed "Honestly? I got no idea... I mean i am okay... But i feel like i have to.. " he stopped and looked down "i feel like i have to kill... Something is just telling me to... Go... Look for Reaper and...!" he stopped when he saw his fists bleeding, mainly his palms.

Hana could see it in him, frustration and hatred. Reaper ruined his peace of mind, Hana hugged Abel gently and told him "Vengeance won't solve anything... It will kill all that is good in you... Then only a shell of what you are now will remain... " Abel was gritting his teeth, she could see he really ment it. "So he can get away with shooting Ana..? She could be dead and Reaper would be left without being..!" he stopped, Hana was abit scared as his grip was crushing her hand. Abel let go and looked away "Sorry... Just... This is new to me... Feeling all these things..." He got up and slumped onto his bed.

Lena watched him and saw his back heaving, he was sobbing. Lena wrapped her arms around him and lipsed to Hana "Hug him". Hana nodded and both hugged him, they could see how hard it was for him, having a new perspective on the actions people did. Lena smiled and said "Let it out love... Bottling it up won't help..." Lena remembered something and got giddy "Actually, i know one thing that will make you happy~" Both Hana and Abel looked at Lena with confused looks until Lena said "You two still got a date to attend~!"

Abel blushed and scolded himself for forgetting. Hana smiled and said "Oh right... So... You up for it Abel..?" Abel looked at Hana, her smile had an effect on him, made him wanna keep her smiling. Abel simply nodded at her and said "Yeah..."
