I woke up and he wasn't there. But the warmth remained. We must have slept in. Glancing at the clock reading at 6:00 a. M. Nope. He must have just left. today I would have to explain what happened on the mission. i walked into the bathroom to change and brush out my hair/ It really needed a touch up, as I pulled it into a bun. Sliding on eyeliner I heard a soft knock and I opened the door to breakfast.

" sorry angel. Didn't want to get caught bringing you food. But I know you rarely eat as it is" he said softly closing the door and balancing the plate.

"i don't think it matters if we get caught... "

"sorry, old habits..." he said walking over to the bed, and placing the plates on the large night stand i had, he removed his mask.I sat next to him and gave him a kiss and he handed me a fork. I really had missed this as well. We had certain rituals after missions. He would make breakfast and bring it to whichever room we slept in. Unless that mission was a disaster and he would be in meetings all night. This one was a minor disaster but there was nothing to talk about til later today. We ate in silence and I just enjoyed his food and company.

" thank you so much for this. I really really missed this. And you. "

" ah you missed my omelets more. Don't lie"

" maybe..." i said with a smile.

he moved the plate and tackled me.

" say that again " he said while pinning me down.

" I said. I missed your omelets more than you" with a mischievous glance

He kissed my neck and whispered " that's what I thought."

Rolling over he just stared at me.

" god Ange I've missed you" he said softly.

" I've missed you too" I said softly.

He looked at his watch.

" probably time for me to go" he said with a sigh, "let me know when Ana says anything"

Then he softly kissed my lips , I tried pulling him back down but he pulled away with a slight laugh. " later angel. Later". Then he got up and put on his mask after taking another look at me.

It was already nearing 8 am. And I knew... my phone beeped.

" post mission follow up 9 am" said the text from Winston.

When the meeting arrived I walked into the room , jack and Genji already present. We would be the only ones needed since the rest of the team failed to witness it.

I took my seat and listened as jack and Genji explained their side. But I kept replaying the kids dying in my head. When it was my turn I could hardly focus. I explained the lack of answers we received. But that the kid was about to speak when I heard Genji yell at me to get down...

Winston nodded and explained that while the mission was a success in some ways it failed in others. I knew I failed, I could have spoken faster. Or moved one kid from the others, we could have made sure they would be covered from incoming attacks. But nothing could be done now. On the good side we had a bastion unit now. Torbjorn was working on oiling him. And Winston had a code in works to understand it better. We were dismissed.

I went to go look for Ana. I needed to remain calm... focused. I knocked on Ana's door and she answered.

" hello my dear" said Ana pulling me into a hug, then returning to her small table and sipping her tea.

Ana motioned for me to sit and I did.

" so I talked to him. And we both want to meet him. So whenever is okay we will" I noticed my hand shaking.

" okay, i'll update winston. But this is the most ideal course of action. You two will take a small jet. Lena might pilot it. Or we could have a set course in mind for it. But that could be tricky. I do know jack has the capability of flying in emergencies. He's just. Not very good" she said with a slight laugh.

" however, In the next 48 hours Meera does need to move. Originally we though they were just after Fareeha, but the problem is. John hasn't been outside in weeks. He's too noticeable, I mean he looks like just the two of you. With the growing threat of talon we do worry about our families. So... I will speak with Winston about giving you two some time to collect John and Meera and move them to a closer location. That way we can all keep better watch" she said then sipped her tea.

" Ana... how?"

" I have had a lot of time to come up with this plan. It's something we used to do when Fareeha was young, so this is just another day. The problem is that Fareeha had UN protection. Now we have nothing but each other, so we must look after each other. I'll even request that we all remain on call if something goes wrong" said Ana.

She really was the right choice to entrust our son with.

" Ana I cannot possibly thank you enough " I could feel tears running down my face, and she embraced me.

" Ana. You don't think it's too soon to be putting all of this on him?" I asked. Even I was surprised i asked this outloud as it had been in the back of my thoughts.

She pulled out of the hug and softly smiled. " my dear. As we have all learned one day we could be here and the next we could be gone. I think it's the right thing to do".

" thank you" I said.

" I will talk to Winston immediately" said Ana. We both got up and left. And I went looking for jack. I should be working on more nanotech. But it's about time I focused on what could have been but still can be.

A sound came from the corner of the room, i didn't notice Fareeha was in here the whole time.

"i wanted to apologize... i was out of line yelling at you like that" she said carefully.

I nodded "i understand" i said softly, i didn't want to go through with another debate.

" he really is a good kid, i just... i get upset and i focus that anger on one thing, and it just so happened to be you"

"it's fine, i really understand" i said shuffling my feet slightly "i should go" i muttered.

I walked outside and noticed him running. I climbed onto the roof and decided to do some mild stress smoking, and watch him. I truly cannot believe the amount of progress he has made... but at the same time small things could make him decline... normally ptsd makes you shy away from any form of intimacy, which is why him sleeping next to me is a bit off, however. It could explain besides the obvious screaming issue I have. That any form past what we are doing is off the table. But I'm rushing things, and I don't want to push him into anything. The issue is, if I hold back he will know immediately and start building his walls again. I exhaled a larger cloud of smoke than I expected, and tried to relax some more. The best thing is to try to restore some form of normalcy to him. If it's through cuddling and treating him the same , just with a more cautious approach that is fine. I can deal with that. However the idea of meeting our son in a few hours was also weighing on me. I lit another, what if he doesn't like me. He will love jack. He's just like captain America. Probably a bit more like Bucky right now. But still. I'm the one who gave birth. Who carried him for months and yet. I don't know how he will react. Probably frightened. All this moving so young cannot be good for him, but it's not like there are any other options. It's not that I regret... I just. The timing. Everything in my life has been timing off. Nothing seems to ever go as it should, the child of this kind of life as well, and losing my parents so young i cannot help but wonder if appearing and disappearing would be good for him... I noticed he noticed me. And was coming over. I inhaled and tried to finish before he could reach me but fuck. He is always so fast. I heard him climbing the ladder.

"Hey" he softly said. I shielded my eyes from the sun in his direction and he sat next to me. I took a last drag and flicked the cigarette. I wanted to curl into him and tell him the news. But who knows who would come out.

" I spoke to Ana, and she is currently speaking to Winston. Apparently we would take one of the smaller jets and autopilot it out to them, pick them up and move them to a new location since they are apparently being watched" I sighed. My eyes glanced around.

" okay" he answered.

" and that's about where everything stands. Well that and it will need to happen within the next 48 hours or less".

I could hear him take a sharp inhale.

" I know... I'm nervous too. But at least you have a logical excuse for not being there" I said.

He nodded and got up and paced.

This is when my worry started again. Would the pacing be enough to help calm him down... or was this the beginning of a panic attack.

" we can go inside and be in private for a bit. While we wait to hear what's going on" I suggested. It was really the only good idea I could think of.

He nodded,we went into my room. He carefully removed his mask and I sat on the bed. Sure I had chairs but honestly the bed was more comfortable. He just paced some more and I rolled onto my back staring at the ceiling. Something in this uncomfortableness felt strangely comfortable.

"so Fareeha apologized to me" i said trying to break up the silence.

" that's good, you didn't deserve that, hell i did the same thing to you, and you didn't deserve that either"

"Jack it's fine.." i mumbled.

" what if he doesn't like me ?" He asked.

" hum. He will love you, captain America" I said.

He looked at me and slightly frowned.

" what? It's his favorite apparently. I really don't know too much about him..."

" more than me" he said gruffly.

I looked down and felt my face twitching into sadness

" fuck. Ange I'm sorry that wasn't fair to you "

" no... it wasn't. I don't know like anything about him. And I'm worried about him and..." I stopped myself.

" I'll be fine. If anything this is good for me... "

I looked at him skeptically.

" if I've told you anything recently, please don't treat me like I'm fragile" he said his voice shaking slightly.

" you aren't. If anything you have been making great improvements and I'm very impressed. "

" thanks doc. Now what does Angela think?" He said. He looked slightly annoyed with me.

" sorry. Force of habit. I'm not used to having people around me that aren't patients" I admitted. Which was true. Besides Genji for the past few years I've dealt with patients constantly. Never really developing anything more than a professional relationship. The other doctors I never really befriended as I had wished. Closeness hurt. Everything hurt back then.

He grunted and walked over to me and gently stroked my cheek.

" I'm sorry I'm on edge" his voice had a slight shake and he sat down next to me.

I put my head on his shoulder and sighed.

" honestly. I don't know how you are doing so well, I feel like I'm breaking apart. " if he didn't want me to treat him delicately then I would just come out and say that , but guilt ate me after the words came out.

He stroked my hair.

" years of practice" he said into my ear. His warm breath tickling my neck. " plus I had to constantly have the appearance of being strong despite how I truly felt. I mean I had to hide being with you for years from basically everyone as well" he kissed my neck. " and that ... was no easy feat either"

" hush, you were allowed emotion. At the properly allowed times of night. Sometimes. " I said teasingly.

I kissed his nose and he flinched.

" I'm sorry..." I said.

He looked panicked.

" what if he is scared of my face ?" He asked. His voice tightening.

" why. Why would he be scared of your face?" Then my heart sank. I'm such an idiot. But I was so happy to have him alive that I never really processed the long scar running down his face. Honestly I didn't mind it or notice it. But it wasn't on my face. He covered his face in his hands.

" jack. He won't be scared of your face" I gently rubbed his shoulders but he flinched again.

" jack... you are a fighter. You are the best I have ever seen. All soldiers have scars" I said as I gently tried to touch him again.

" Ange. It's so hideous. "

" actually. I find it rather hot if I am allowed to say that. " I said.

He slowly removed his hands.

" have you completely lost your mind?"

" not in the slightest. You aren't hideous, you never could be. "

He half smiled.

" it's this whole, chicks dig guys with scars. If it really bugs you though I can fix it. But I would encourage you not too" I said

He stroked my face and pulled me into a kiss.

" are you sure it doesn't scare you?" He asked when he pulled away. His eyes looking right into mine.

" not in the slightest" as I leaned my head on his shoulder.

He relaxed a little bit, and just held my hand.

Truly I'm thrilled that situation didn't escalate into him completely hating on himself. The scar was extremely attractive, it added a new angle to his perfect face. Sounds weird but truly he was and will always be attractive. But I also was completely in love with him, everything about him.

" when do you think we will know?"

" soon I think. Ana works fast" I kissed his cheek gently.

He slightly smiled at me and laid down. I joined him. Throwing a leg on top of his and pulling myself into his side. One thing I will say about new overwatch is nice is the lack of constant going. Moving under the radar was tough. But we picked and chose our own battles. And getting this sort of downtime was wonderful. As much as I wanted to be our healing everyone I could, I knew I had limits. Rarely did I think I had limits. But I need time to work and to heal.

He was slowly stroking my shoulder. I kissed his neck and sighed. I could easily take a nap like this. A slight buzz came from the corner of the room and we sat upright.

I got up and checked my phone.

" we need to head to Winston's room" I said. My hands were shaking and jack picked up his mask and walked over to me and gently kissed me.

" Angel I ..." he said softly.

" we can do this" i said as I kissed him holding his hand for a few moments. Then we opened the door. Hands falling to our sides while walking out and heading to Winston's room.

Jack knocked on the door and we were told to enter,Jack hesitated and I motioned for him.

Ana and Winston motioned at us to sit. He was in his tire slowly swinging.

" it appears you two will be leaving in a few hours. For Egypt. If you want Lena can join you but if not she can remotely pilot it if things go wrong. 76 I'm not sure how briefed you are on this situation. But I trust you will take care of our Angela and her friends. " he said sternly.

" I have been informed" said jack strongly.

" I will have the team prepped and ready to go just in case as well. The flight won't take as long as you would expect. The new safe house is only a short distance from us. Absolute secrecy is a must. I'm already against this in many ways. But it seems this was an idea made by Angela and Ana. I want the jet to be well prepared. So I will let you two go prepare " he added.

Jack got up first and I followed after, Ana was close behind me after exiting his room.

" if anything goes bad you must, contact us. " she said softly. I nodded.

I hugged her and walked off to grab my Medical supplies. Technically since we had a few hours I could give him his medication and he could nap it off quickly. I rushed over to him and lightly touched his arm, he responded with a flinch. Idiot. You cannot just grab him, no matter how light.

" sorry. Uhh I wanted to ask you something. Since we have four hours did you want your shot? Then you can like nap it off quick or whichever. I have to prep my medical supplies since this jet is tiny" I hurriedly said.

He sighed as we stood in his doorway.

" I'd rather be unmedicated for this" He said sadly.

" it hasn't been long that you have been on this... Withdrawal however can already develop. So would you rather be using medication that clears your mind. Or be pissed off and stressed?"

"You are right"

" well I will go get it and meet you back here"

" I just have to load up some weaponry " he sighed.

" okay just uh? Child proof it? Or put it someone a kid couldn't get it" I said questioning myself.

" that's a good point..." he nodded and walked off. I went over to the lab and mixed his medication. The progress is good. This was going to be okay. Everything was going to be okay. Until it's not...I heavily sighed and packed up my spare field medical kits. Including some spare nano shots. Just in case. And headed over to the little jet. Lena was happily getting it ready. Whizzing in and out of it, as I carefully stored away my medical gear.

" oh love! Heard about you going off with 76" she winked.

"What do you mean? It's a solo mission "

" oh but I thought"

" yeah he's coming with me but only because I cannot go alone" I tried to sound convincing.

" mhmm you could've picked any of us" said Lena sounded slightly hurt.

" naw it was Ana's idea" I said loading my things inside.

" whatever you say. Just if you get time...oh oops! Hey 76!"

I had a solid blush on my face.

"Hey" he said. He started looking at where to put the stuff that would be safe from small hands.

" I was just saying that " Lena started and I punched her in the arm softly.

" ow. I was just going to say do you know how to fly in emergencies, Ana said you could. But I can always be on call for Assistance" said Lena lightly patting the pilot seat.

" well loves. Take care if I don't see you before you go. She's all fueled and ready"

I thanked her and eyed jack.

" do you think this will be safe enough?" He asked pointing to where he stored the weapons.

" I think it will be fine " I said " now if you are ready I'll inject you. And I can finish what I need to do and we can leave" I added.

" sounds fine" he said gruffly.

Soon we were in my room and I was injecting him.

"Are you alright?" He noticed my hands were shaking.

" I just... ugh. " I flopped face first onto the bed after disposing of the needle.

He slightly laughed. Removed his mask and joined me face first.

" you do realize how absolutely ridiculous you look" he said into the bed.

" speak for yourself, now rest. The tiredness after injection shouldn't last long now that your body is growing accustomed to it " I said into the bed as well.

He grunted and rolled onto his back slowly, i could see him twitch a little before passing out.

I got up and began rifling through my drawers for something less Morticia Addams. Granted. We would be wearing body armor under anything. So humph. I recolored my roots in a quick fashion. Sticking with the jet black. Not ideal but eh. Twisting my hair into a ponytail I heard jack waking up.

I was wearing something more comfortable for the time being. Even though the flight would be short I still needed to be comfortable.

He stretched slightly and asked if it was time to go.

" eh we still have like an hour but I don't think heading over early to scout it out would be a bad thing..."

He nodded and walked over to me,Gently kissing my lips and stroking my neck.

" I'm so nervous" I admitted.

On that note I grabbed some remaining items and we headed to Winston to inform him of us leaving. He wished us well and told me good luck.

We got onto the jet and jack started it up...

A/N : I feel like adding more would be too much. So I'm leaving it at there. I didn't really want a cheese closing line because I'm rather notorious for those. Whoops! Anyways thanks for reading as always. I will probably put up the next chapter in a day or so, because i feel really mean for having a ridiculously long break in between the two... and i mean it's already written.
