I'm back! I hope you have all been having a good time. Hopefully a better time than me anyway. I'm sorry I had to take that time off. Turns out it wasn't worth it in the end and it ended up a complete disaster :( . I'm sorry again. I will post a proper chapter with shout outs soon but for now I'm just giving a quick little update ( I mean really quick so it's less quality). Enjoy.
Amelie should have been dead. She was becoming aware of a voice beside her and urging her to wake up.
"You okay mate?" Said a girl in a black beanie and a green jacket with a small, cute little smiley face button. Amelie backed up momentarily but then relaxed seeing as they were probably part of the Mondatta audience.
"I'm fine. What happened?" She asked pulling herself off the green sofa. Having her wife nearly murder her took a lot out of her.
"You were falling of the building but then you got caught by those 2 omnics. They seem to know who you are." She said signalling her robot boyfriend to bring in the two other.
Entering the room was Bastion and Zenyatta. Their faces were blank but it was clear by the way that they were moving that they showed concern. Amelie didn't know that they were coming here but after the evening she had it was a welcomed nice surprise.
After she became fully aware of what was going on she scanned Bastion up and down before finally breaking the awkward silence.
"What are you two doing here? And why is he looking like that?" Amelie asked walking up to them. Zenyatta looked normal but Bastion was wearing a beige over coat and a fedora.
"Bastion felt insecure about people wanting to hurt him because of what happened during the omnic crisis so he didn't want to be noticed." Bastion booped and bleeped happily in response taking of the hat to show Amelie that it was him. Amelie gave a small chuckle and hugged him. She didn't speak onmic but she could read him loud and clear.
"We were originally here listing to Mondatta speak but then my friend Athena alerted us of the assassin who was on the roof and we caught you from falling."
Amelie sighed, dreading having to tell the team what had happened.
"It was Lena. She was the one who shot at Mondatta." She didn't want to believe the words that she spoke but she had to. It was so surreal. It was like some kind of weird month long nightmare that just kept on going and going.
Bastion made a noise of panic while Zenyatta brought his mechanical arm up to his chin, looking like he wasn't sure.
"How do you mean? Lena has already embraced the iris I'm sure there must be some form of misunderstanding." He questioned, certainly sure that this had just been the result of her fall and she must have hit her head, causing this absurd delusion.
"I think that somehow Talon made her an agent. I triggered her." She said sitting down once again and trying to think over how in the hell she didn't notice anything wrong with Lena. She should have known that something was up when she saw her accelerator turn red during their training session.
"I will contact the others and make them aware of the situation." Zenyatta said going out of the room to make contact with the watchpoint.
Bastion had took a small white flower for Ganymede's nest and gave it to Amelie. She only noticed when he made another boop. She took the flower and put on a small pained smile.
"Merci, Bastion." She said placing it in her hair. He and Ganymede looked at each other and seemed to nod in approval.
She suddenly remembered the reason that the girl had been here in the first place. Modatta. She went up to the couple and caught their attention.
"How is Mondatta? He isn't dead is he?" She asked nervously. She hadn't seen what had happened to him after she fell but she knew that another crisis could be looming around the corner if anything major happened.
"He's fine. Your Bastion here was able to help him" She pointed to him currently just sitting and playing with Ganymede.
It was going to be a long road a head for all of them.
Meanwhile with Reaper
He was looking through the files when he spotted a familiar name on one of them. He knew he shouldn't, it was all in the past. Yet somehow the overwhelming urge to look at the file somehow momentarily took over and he picked up the folder reading 'Special pics'
He began to look through the photos of Jack and was filled with the nostalgia of the old days. There was a picture of Ana holding a new-born Pharah, Angela dressed up as a witch and then there had to be the one that caught his eye.
Jack. Goddamn. Morrison
He studied the picture and remembered the day that it was taken. It had been the run up until Christmas and he and Gabe were put in charge of getting everyone's present while the other's stayed and got everything set up.
He remembered the small café were they had stopped and decided to get a drink. It had been so cold and Gabe being Gabe had refused to listen to Jack when he told him to go get a jacket. Jack had taken them inside when he had seen Gabriel beginning to shiver even when insisting that he was fine.
"I'm not cold. I'm fine." He said, quite obviously trying to hide his chattering teeth.
"What do you call there then?" He said pulling back his sleeve and revelling goose bumps all along his arms.
He grumbled something under his breath before taking a sip of the hot, black coffee. When he looked back up there seemed to be an overly joyous look in Jack's eyes
Quite suddenly, Jack reached across the small table and kissed him on the lips. It was at the beginning of their relationship so they hadn't really had any deep kisses.
"Look up." Jack said hoping that he could cover the awkwardness of the situation. As Gabe looked up he soon turned his attention back to Jack. He couldn't believe the little stunt he had just pulled.
Of course it been mistletoe. Only Jack was that much of a boy scout he would actually do the tradition of kissing someone under the mistletoe. Gabe looked unimpressed and Jack began to think that he had messed up and began to sweat slightly.
"You also had some crème on your lip." He said covering, thinking it would somehow change the situation entirely.
"Sure Morrison." He said giving Jack a quick smirk while taking another sip, making the other turn the colour of the candy canes.
Gabe leaned over the small table again and kissed the Boy Scout, causing him to have an internal meltdown.
Jack pulled out his phone and quickly snapped a picture of the unsuspecting Gabe. He wanted this to be the first of many happy memories together.
"Asshole." He said gruffly, folding his arms as if he was throwing a temper tantrum. They then proceeded to finish their drinks and get the rest of the gifts sorted and Jack made sure they walked under any mistletoe he spotted. Every time they did Gabriel got a little less grumpy and more in love with his adorable, blond idiot.
Jack. Goddamn. Morrison.
He was pulled from his thoughts as heard a member of Talon knocking on the door.
"Yes…" He was annoyed that his trip down memory lane had been ruined but he knew himself he needed to stop looking back at the past.
"Sir, It seems that Agent Tracer has been activated prematurely." She a nervous solider, hoping that his boss wouldn't take out his rage on him.
Reaper sighed under his breath.
"Let's go get her."
I think Bastion in a little disguise because he's nervous about people would be so adorable ( Also this may or may not have been written at 3 or 4 am). Also is there an actual name for the girl form the alive short? Because it would be a big help if anyone knew what it was. Thanks and things should be back to normal soon.
