Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! This will probably be the last update of the year. Shout outs go to Tomas284, CavaliaFS and arielt25. Thank you very much.

See ya in the New Year. Hopefully it's better than the last.

It was once again early in the morning when she had gotten a phone call form Angela that she had to go quickly and that there had been a development in Lena's condition. Amelie hoped that this time it had been good news. Since she was now temporarily living at the base she only had to go to the bottom floor where the hospital bay was located.

She saw the gorilla and the angle figures standing and talking in front of the door.

"How do we tell her?" Angela said quietly. The rest of the base was probably sleeping and she didn't want to risk what they were talking about getting known until they knew further what was going on.

"I don't know. You do it. You were the one who broke it to her that Lena was missing." It was at this point where Amelie realised they were talking about her.

"Yes but if I do it a second time she'll start to despise me." Angela was done being the deliverer of bad news. She was totally 100% ready to leave it to someone else.

Amelie decided to make her self-known so she walked round the corner and her clicking heals was loud enough to get both of their attentions. They both looked like a deer caught in the head lights.

"Amelie you're here. There been progress made with Lena." She said happily hoping to god that Winston would take over and break the bad news to her. Amelie knew what Angela was like when she was trying to hide something and she could see it written all over her face.

"Good what's new?" She asked dreading that there had been one of Angela's 'Complications'.

Winston was frozen not knowing what to say so Angela elbowed the big lug before taking over once again.

"We've been able to remove her conditioning. She doesn't want to kill any of us." And without another word Amelie ran in before Angela could tell her the bad news.

"Wait Amelie! There something you should know first!" The doctor tried to call behind her but Amelie didn't hear her in time.

When she was in the room Amelie could see that Lena was wide awake and watching TV from her hospital bed, some animated show. She was sitting with her legs crossed as normal. She was so glad that she could be near her and not have to worry about being stabbed or nearly murdered. She went up to Lena but when she turned around there was something wrong. Lena wasn't looking at her right. It was like she was looking straight through her.

"Oi nurse. I hope it isn't too much bother but could you get me a drink please? I'm parched."

Amelie found it adorable. Whenever she was sick Lena would call her nurse or doc. Those were good days. She was surprised that she wasn't saying anything along the lines of I'm glad you're okay or I'm sorry for almost murdering you but then again maybe she didn't remember her time as a Talon agent.

"Lena thank god you're okay. I've missed you so much." She embraced Lena in a deep hug but then knew something was up when instinctively she pulled away from her.

"Oh sorry luv I'm sure you know me but I have no idea who you are. I don't remember anything actually. I don't know who you are. Could you still get me a drink though please?" She asked with a slight cough.

The room was tense but Amelie shrugged it off as one of her jokes. Lena pulling another hilarious prank like when she and Winston altering Hana's mech so any time it was rocket boosted it would play the neon genesis evangelion theme. Or making Lucio's gun play the Sonic X theme when it was switched to the speed boost.

"Stop joking Lena." Amelie was beginning to worry that this was one of Lena's jokes that went on for a bit too long.

"I'm not joking. Who are you?" She didn't understand why but the random French person in the room looked like she was about to cry. She reached out to try and comfort the stranger but she recoiled from her touch.

"Oh my god." Amelie cupped her hands around her mouth. She did not go through a literally month of hell for Lena to not remember her. She couldn't face it. She ran out of the room and put her back against the door while tears formed at her eyes. She could hear the British voice calling out for her to come back but there was no way she was going back in there without some form of explanation.

"I tried to warn you Amelie. We were able to remove the programming but I think he inserted a fail safe to wipe her memories clean in case she got caught." This had all been brought on by her and Winston. The training came in the form of a sound trigger and she and the scientist were up all night trying to figure out what it was. When they played a specific frequency she woke up and seemed okay but didn't have her memories.

All she remembered was that her name was Lena and she grew up in London.

What the two scientists didn't realise was that it was reaper who had already said the magic words and wiped her clean. They had done nothing wrong.

"Is there any way you can undo this?" Amelie asked wiping the small near tears away from her eyes. She wasn't going to cry until they told her there was nothing she could do. Despite being strong she felt this was her breaking point. She couldn't deal with Overwatch anymore if they couldn't fix Lena.

"We tried. We couldn't get them back." She was waiting for Amelie to go into another angry rage so she was bracing herself both mentally and physically for what was to happen next.

Winston interrupted them both before Amelie could being her true breakdown.

"I was doing some research and if we do a previous important event it might jog her memory." Winston said holding up a bunch of papers which had pictures of brains and long paragraphs on the mind and cognitive function.

They took a moment to think but then Amelie knew what she had to do, what all of Overwatch had to do to get her memories back. It was a long shot but if anything was going to work it had to be this. She was no longer feeling total despair but with filled with a newfound determination. The determination to get her Lena back.

Winston and Angela looked up as she got up excitedly as she was running towards the door, pulling out her phone and readying to dial some numbers.

"Where are you going?" Winston asked trying to catch up to her.

Amelie looked back and smiled. This was one of the things she had wished to do over and over again with Lena and now it was her golden opportunity.

"Get everyone together. We have a wedding to redo."

*Meanwhile with Reaper and Sombra*

Both Talon operatives were in their HQ. Reaper was working on a computer and when Sombra was looking over she noticed he was working on a file called 'Operation Widowmaker'. Being the super stealthy and information seeking person she was, she decided she would use her skills and find out what was this plan.

"So Gabe, what are you going to do now you're secret weapon is gone?" She asked still looking at her screen hoping it would just seem like casual conversation.

"I always have a backup plan." He said smugly. This plan had gone so smooth so far. It would assure his victory if it was completed all the way through.

"What is it?" She asked ever so carefully inching over to look at the computer screen

"Her wife." After the events of the day he wasn't really in a conversational mood, also he was aware of what she was doing but he decided to indulge her anyway. He was excited to see this plan come together and besides if he needed someone to fall back on he didn't want to be on her bad side.

Sombra was shocked but the abruptness of what he was saying. She had done some research on Amelie and that she was Lena's wife but there wasn't much else too her apart from she was originally born in France, she is divorced from a person called Gerard and she is a photographer.

"Wait Amelie? Where are you going with this?" She could always guess what he was planning. Gabe was predictable like that but right now she was totally in the dark. This only fuelled her thirst to find out more.

"All in good time. Let's just say I'm going to have a little talk with her." He had grown tired of her questions and he knew that if he stopped talking now it would annoy her so much so naturally he wasn't going to say another word.

He knew exactly how to get her to shut up.

"Don't you have a date with the Vishkar girl?" He only had to turn his head slightly but he could see her freeze for a moment but she kept her composure.

"It's not a date Gabe! It's simply a data transfer. She gives me information and I give her information." She folded her arms to seem like she was cool and collected on the outside but internally she was swearing at herself. She didn't know that Gabe knew she and Satya were dating.

"Do you always do data transfers at a fancy restaurant with dinner and then going to see Love Hacktually?" He smirked and she turned a bright purple. Well more purple then normal.

She took a moment and then said the best response she could.

"…be quiet..." She teleported behind him and slapped him behind his head. Playfully though. She didn't want to be fired. She still needed information on Talon.

They decided to both get on with their own work until about 10 minutes later reaper decided to break the silence

"Thanks. For saving Lena's old memories to the USB." He held it up. During Lena's time in captivity he had made Sombra take a digital scan of Oxton's memories and save them to a USB. If he had done the reconditioning correctly then hopefully when she saw the images on the USB her memories would fully return to her. It was crucial that this worked.

It was all part of the plan.

"No problem. I assume you're going to use it now." She said making more conversation while texting Satya underneath the table. 'See you there mi luz 3 XOXO.'

Sombra waited another 5 minutes before finishing up.

"I'm going to leave for my dat-a collect meeting." She said saving herself from further confirming his suspicions. He didn't look at her but she knew he was stupidly smirking under his mask.

"You go. I have a lot more I need to do."

And with that she left leaving reaper to wait for the pieces to fall into place.

Remember how I said that the wedding description in chapter 2 was going to be important. Now 14 chapters later the next chapter the re-marriage of Lena Oxton and Amelie Lacroix.
