Gray looked at his hostage, this young female scout that had hacked into his accounts two hundred years ago. She caused him so much hardship, been the pea beneath his bed and had nearly caused him to have a stroke. She stole his Australium and his money, and now she was his prisoner.
Sarah looked back at the old man as he sat at his desk. She was disgusted by the smirk he gave her. He looked at her with such cockiness that made her sick. She then looked down at the little girl who stood next to the old man. She heard about Olivia Mann, but she never even guessed how innocent she looked. Her orange eyes were looking at Sarah with a look of intense interest. If Sarah could read minds, she'd know that Olivia was admiring Sarah's beauty.
"You caused me a great deal of pain in the past." Gray said to Sarah, breaking her out of her gaze at the little girl. He stood up and propped himself up against his desk and said, "I may not have you all, but I will soon. They'll come for you and I'll be ready." He ordered the Heavy to take Sarah to his prison. As Sarah walked out with the Heavy, she turned to look back at Olivia, the little girl watching her walk out with a look of concern on her face.
Of all the times Mercy had someone recuperating on her beds, never in a million years would anyone ever think she would be laying on one herself. Burke used his old fashion method of setting up a medic beam to heal her as he left her asleep. Her bruises and open wounds were slowly fading, which was more than could be said for Genji. He was also laid out on a bed, still unconscious from his attack. The medic beam was healing his organic parts, but his mechanical side was badly damaged. Despite the metal of his armor suppose to be stronger, it wasn't strong enough to defend him from his limbs being shredded and his abdomen and chest from being punctured by drills. His left leg was so badly damaged that Burke had to remove it. Burke knew that Angela was the only one to fix him, but…
"What's the word, Burke?" Jack asked him as he observed his patients. Burke softly looked as Jack, who was accompanied by the rest of the group minus Scott who was loathing elsewhere over Sarah's abduction. Burke left the medic room and closed the door and told them, "Angela suffered a vicious beating after being…thankfully there wasn't any fluid so they didn't…inside her. There is extensive tearing and bruising from repeated assaults so it wasn't just one person."
"God damn it!" Duncan shouted as he smashed his fist onto a table, breaking it in half. "We need to find them! And we chop them to fucking pieces!"
"Duncan, calm down!" Mei begged him. He pointed to her and told her, "Don't tell me to calm down! We gotta make them pay!"
"Angela." Genji's voice was heard from the intercom linked to the interior of the room. Burke jolted around and went back inside. Genji stirred as he tried to wake up and Burke tried to stabilize him so he wouldn't move.
"Angela, where is she?" Genji wheezed, Burke telling him that she was safe. Genji began to tear up and he began to sob, "I saw what those monsters were doing to her. I tried to get away to save her, but they overpowered me. I couldn't do anything."
"Genji, listen to me. You need to rest. None of this was your fault." Burke urged him. Genji tried to lift his arm, but it weighed a ton and he could barely get it a few inches up. As he struggled to raise his arm, he said, "We can find them."
Genji was able eject a shuriken from his hand and said, "I have tracking shuriken. I ejected it into their ship. Find them, Burke…for Angela."
In this dark moment, there was finally a moment of clarity. If the shuriken stuck to the ship then they can locate Gray Mann and save Sarah. Burke urged Genji to rest, but Genji looked over at Angela and began to cry harder as he looked at her sleeping form. With everyone hearing about the tracking, they stormed to Winston's lab.
On the roof of the headquarters, Scott was sitting against a wall in a panicked curled position, rocking back and forth. McCree opened the door to the roof and told him, "Kid, we got something." Scott jumped up and followed him down stairs.
"We got it!" Winston cheered. The monitor showed that the location was on a remote island just a few hundred miles off the coast.
Sarah sat in her cell, contemplating how she got herself into this position. She thought about Mercy and Genji, hoping they were okay. She had no idea what the two had gone through.
A clattering brought her out of her thoughts and she looked out the door of her cell. There was little Olivia, who accidently stepped on Sarah's empty food tray. She looked down at the metal tray in fear and slowly looked at Sarah. Sarah only looked at her, surprised that the little girl would ever grace her presence to her.
Sarah was expecting the girl to be bragging about her current position, but she just looked at her, the same concerned look she had when Sarah was taken away. Not knowing what to make of the situation, she aggressively asked the little girl, "What do you want?"
Olivia shied back at Sarah's angry tone, but she didn't want to leave her. She looked at Sarah, looking at her like she wanted to tell her something. Sarah didn't want to pay much attention, but there was something the look Olivia was giving her. The sad look the little girl gave her just made her feel like there was something on her mind and she just wanted to let it out. Against her better judgment, she crawled over to the gate of the cell and asked Olivia, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Olivia said nothing at first, only continued to give Sarah that same look. She did begin to move closer to the gate slowly. When she placed her hand on the chain link, she asked, "Are you scared of me?"
Sarah's eyes widened. She couldn't be serious. Olivia may be the daughter of Gray Mann, but she was just a child. Sarah always felt a little sorry for Olivia, in the back of her mind she always thought that Olivia would be better off without Gray. To think of her as a threat would be ludicrous, but she could just tell in the girl's voice she was being serious.
"Why would you ask that?" Sarah asked Olivia. Olivia told her with a slight shutter in her voice, "I don't want you to be. You're pretty."
A flutter went through Sarah's heart after Olivia said that. Olivia Mann, daughter of Gray Mann and heir to his empire, just called her pretty. More importantly, she just said she didn't want Sarah to be afraid of her. Sarah didn't know what to think about this. Was this a ploy just to keep Sarah occupied? Was there some kind of trick in this somehow?
"I don't want them to hurt you." Olivia said, bring Sarah back from her thoughts. "They want to hurt you and your friends."
"Olivia, why are you telling me all this?" Sarah asked. Olivia just looked at her, and Sarah saw it in her eyes. Pain, sorrow, feeling alone.
"What did they do to you?"
Genji was sedated again because he was constantly trying to get up. Burke tried to inform him that his leg was removed, but Genji didn't listen to him. When Genji was under again, Burke thought it was best to let the two of them just sleep and join everyone as they planned their retaliation. Angela was Burke's friend and he promised Genji that he'd get them recompense.
However, Burke wasn't aware that someone was awake. After he turned the lights off and left, Angela slowly opened her eye to see him walk into the elevator. When he was gone, she tried to sit up, still in pain. She gasped as it seeped through her body, but she tried to fight through it as she climbed out of her bed. She stood up, but she felt the sting from her assault still thrashing at her. She fought back the pain as she slowly walked towards Genji's bed.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
As she staggered towards his bed, she thought over what happened to the two of them. She thought to herself that she was stupid to let this happen. She thought about them taking Sarah, about them pinning Genji down and tearing him apart, and she thought about what they did to her.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
If it wasn't for the pain she was feeling, it was the pain of what she had to endure that caused the tears to leak from her eyes.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
She reached his bed, supporting herself on the edge so she didn't collapse.
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
Ignoring her pain, she slowly climbed in his bed.
And I held your hand through all of these years
She crawled under his covers.
But you still have…
She wrapped her arms around his sleeping body.
All of me
She pressed her face into his hair as she cried hard.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
She held him tightly as she went over all that the two of them had been through. She felt like she failed him. He was her patient, her friend…her love. She felt like she showed weakness and let herself get assaulted as he was being tortured. She just couldn't see any other way around her blame. She also blamed herself for letting Sarah get taken. She had another jolt of mental pain go through her when she thought that they would do the same thing to Sarah that they did to her.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have…
No, she wasn't going to let it happen.
All of me…
