Both Angela and Amelie had sprinted into the infirmary room. Beside the now conscious Pharah were Jack, Reinhardt and a very exhausted looking Ana. Both her eyes looked like they were begging for sleep but she also had that worried mother glare as well.
"Mom please go get some rest, you haven't slept for 2 days." Said Pharah trying to get her mother to look after herself now that she was awake.
"I'm not leaving your side. Besides I enjoy spending time with my little girl." She pinched her daughter's cheek and Pharah gave a groan of embarrassment. At least Angela wasn't here to see this.
"Pharah thanks the gods you're awake." Said Angela as she ran up to her significant other hugging her tight. It was a sweet moment and they bombarded each other with kisses and quite "Thank goodness you're okay."
Amelie while glad that they were having a tender moment she was more concerned with finding her other half. She decided to cough and get their attention.
They all turned to look at the source of the noise and their attention was directed at the distraught wife and immediately the room was filled with a lot more dread and anxiety. Pharah stopped planting kisses over the angle like woman and looked away to avoid her eyes. She felt like the guilt would eat her alive more than it already was.
"Amelie what are you doing here?" said Ana trying to take away some of the pressure that had been directed onto her daughter. Amelie was still glaring at Pharah but she then directed her attention onto the older Amari.
"Where is Lena? What happened?" She asked checking around one more time to make sure that Lena wasn't just unconscious and Angela had make some kind of mistake and she had been found by the time they had been traveling to the base.
Pharah sighed knowing she would have to tell them what happened but now that Amelie was in the room it was going to just be that bit harder. She knew she had failed the mission and now she had to tell it in front of everyone.
"We were on the mission…"
"Oi Pharah, How are things going with the doc? Bet you two are having a smashing time." Lena said as her and Pharah were carefully making their way to where the supposed minor Talon base was located and currently under construction. If they would be able to shut it down before anything more was done it would mean that Talon would be weakened and then they could attack it even more.
They might even be able to finally capture Gabriel Reyes.
"Pretty Well. All I need to do know is get my mother to stop embarrassing me in front of her and everything will be perfect."
"I'm sure she's not that bad." She reassured her.
"Baby pictures Lena. Really. Ugly. Baby. Pictures." She said remembering one of her in Mcree's hat and making a really ugly face accompanied with very chubby baby cheeks.
"Yikes, At least Amelie and I don't have to worry about that." She said to lighten the situation.
"How is she doing? I don't think I've seen her since the wedding." Pharah said wondering how Amelie had been doing looking around at some papers that had been left on a desk.
"She's been fine. I'm still trying to get her to become a member of Overwatch or at least part time." She blinked around the room just to make sure that no one else was there.
"You know it's not her thing Lena." Since her and Amelie were good friends she was told things that not even Lena knew about. One of the main things was that she wanted Lena to quit Overwatch badly, It wasn't that Amelie wanted Overwatch disbanded or anything she just wanted Lena out of harm's way so they could have a proper family.
"I know but an office romance would be totally lush." Pharah rolled her eyes. Scanning for any more useful documents before they could destroy the base once and for all.
"It won't last long. They never do." The sceptical-ness in her voice was ringing clearly.
"You're dating our doctor. And I'm pretty sure your mum is doing Reinhardt. And then there's probably Genji and-" Lena said putting her in her place. Pharah turned a shade of red not even thought possible before countering her argument.
"Well yes, but that's diff-"She was going to interrupt but a sudden loud bang had got them both to lift up the weapons. Ready to attack what was coming. It had come from a corridor on what seemed to be the floor above.
Lena nodded to signal that she would go up first before she would then jump jet up and launch a rocket at it. They couldn't afford any gun fire in case of any explosive material that they might be using in their construction.
"It's clear."
Pharah jumped up to join her and then they both looked around to see if they could track the source. It seemed to come from a pile of wooden boards. Lena dashed over to t to check it out while Pharah kept a look out, making sure there were no sneaky enemies waiting to attack.
"I guess it was nothing. I wonder what did make that noise though." Just as she stated it she spotted a sniper aiming right for the Amari's head. She blinked them both to safety as the bullet missed them by a fraction of a second.
"Where did that come from? How many were there?" Pharah asked reloading her rocket launcher readying to aim at the attempted assassin.
"It's all a set up!" Lena cried as she began to zigzag all around the room shooting at the source. As she made her way around she began to notice more people surrounding them. By the time her chronal accelerator needed to have a cool down period she had counted at least 20 more Talon agents with guns.
"Lena how long until your pulse bomb is ready?" Pharah shouted taking out 2 who were hiding behind a wall with her concussion blast.
"It's at 45%. What about you?"
"It's at 70% I'm not-" She was stopped midsentence by a dark presence that was filling up the room. She couldn't take her eyes of the shadow like figure that was forming before her. The man in the skeletal mask was one she knew all too well.
Gabriel Reyes.
Reaper.
Her old friend.
"Gabriel…" She tried to say something else but no words came out of her mouth. Gabriel gave a small laugh before pointing one of his shotguns straight to her visor. She dogged to the side as he made a powerful shot just missing her wing.
"It haven't seen you since you were a teenager. Little Amari, all grown up." He taunted as he kept on shooting at where she was hiding. Thankfully due to the fact that it was a construction site she was able to locate several opportunities to take cover and possible attack points.
"What do you want? Why lead us here?" She questioned as she tried to blast him over and over with repeat rockets. It was all in vain as he was quickly able to go into his wraith form and take no damage.
"Not you, just her. " He pointed to Tracer who was now raining her own type of justice onto the unsuspecting agents of evil. Blinking left and right not letting them know what hit them. When she heard her being mentioned she stopped for a moment and blinked to where she could get a good look at him.
"What are you going on about mate? I don't see-BLOODY HELL! AHHHHHHH!" Lena screamed as she felt her leg get caught in a bear trap, her one weakness. She could feel that it had cut her nearly to the bone. She wanted out of it and now. Pharah took her eyes of Gabriel for one moment too look and see if her comrade was okay and he took advantage of her distraction and shot her point blank in the chest, penetrating her armour.
Pharah could feel the bullet enter her body and it was burning like the fires of hell. She didn't scream but good lord did she want to. She couldn't fail this mission and if she showed any weakness the enemy would win.
With them both not able to move reaper made his way over to Lena who was trying to reach for her guns to destroy the trap with.
"What should we do with them sir?" One of the few soldiers who had escaped tracer's time gun asked his superior nervously.
"Kill Amari, Leave Oxton. I have other plans for her. We need her for some experiments."
"She's more useful to us alive."
"And how did you escape?" Angela asked hooked on every last detail of her story.
"They were closing in but thankfully my barrage was charged and I got them all. I was able to call for help before I lost consciousness."
Amelie hadn't been listening to the rest of the story. She had blanked out after one specific part and had only been focusing on that.
"Experiments?" Amelie asked fearfully. She knew that Talon would do whatever it took to get results and that most likely meant Lena would be going through hell until they found her.
"I am so sorry Amelie. If I hadn't got distrcaed she wouldn't have been taken."
Amelie looked like she was considering what to say next. She could have told her what she truly thought but since she had been shot she decided to go with "It's okay Pharah, you tried your best."
"Did you get anything else? Hear anything useful?" Winston said still writing down the last few words from her encounter with the Overwatch gone AWOL.
"Yes I overheard the radio on one of the guards after I used my barrage say they were meeting up at their base in Northern Ireland."
"They only have one known base in Ireland." Winston said looking over the report sheet showing the locations of all known bases. It seemed the discreet as no one really bother to look as the base in Ireland had been taken out years ago.
"Where's my armour Winston?"
"Excuse me Amelie but what do you mean?" He asked as he saw Amelie walking out of the hospital room.
"Where is my Overwatch uniform? I need it if I'm going out." The determination in her eyes was burning bright and nothing was going to stand in her way. Not Overwatch, Not Talon, Not anyone.
"Amelie I don't think it's a good idea." He said raising one of his giant hands to block the doorway.
"I don't see why not. I have the right training." She argued not even giving him a chance to explain himself.
"It's true. Amelie has proved she is capable of Talon missions before." Ana said speaking up. She saw no reason why she couldn't help out the team.
"I'm thinking what if she finds Lena…not alive…" He couldn't bring himself to say the word dead. The image of his best friend dead was an unthinkable thing for him. He had saved her once before and he was scared he wouldn't be able to do it again.
"She's a hero and heroes never die." Amelie said quoting Angela. She felt a small smirk crawl onto her face as she saw Winston's fight for his argument leaving him.
"It's in locker 34." Winston said giving in to her demands. No point in holding her back, it was her wife and she could do what needed to be done in order to save her.
"I'll bring her back. I promise."
"You will. We all will."
