Shout outs go to .121, slavik, kelissandra and TheSwedishMoose. Have a good time and a good new year to all of you. Hopefully let it be better then the last.
To say that the plan was risky was the understatement of the year. It would require everyone from Overwatch and it needed to be exactly prefect if it were to work.
The wedding of Lena and Amelie.
Again.
The first time round it had been stressful enough but this time is was absolute chaos trying to get everything exactly the way it was. Amelie was currently working with Satya, Zenyatta and Mei when the first problem occurred. She was helping Zenyatta put up one of his orbs when a very worried Mako came running into the main room.
"Are you alright?" Amelie asked nearly dropping the orbs.
He only pointed to the kitchen and then they all proceeded to her a loud bang along with a McCree and an unconscious Junkrat. Zenyatta was the first over as he was technically the doctor among them. He looked him over and gave him a small healing orb before giving a thumbs up. Amelie put her head in her hands and took a moment before she found out what was going on. Amelie glared at both of the men and sent a shiver down both their spines. It was the 'I will go France in 1789 on both your asses' stare.
"There was a kitchen explosion. He knocked his head real good." McCree said coughing out black smoke. Amelie thought with the amount he smoked he would be immune to it.
"Merde! Is the food okay?" She said realising that one of the key things that Lena she said she had loved about the day had gone up in a fiery blaze.
"About that…." He held up a charred piece of steak and before she could even touch it the food ended up disintegrating before her very eyes. When Jamieson woke up he was a dead man. She hadn't even been told what caused the explosion but she had a pretty good idea that he had been involved somehow.
"Baise moi. Okay, we have no food but we can still make this work." She was already thinking through every option of how this could work. Anyway she looked at the situation it just kept on coming up negative.
A beeping noise from her phone was letting her know that it was time they she go and help somebody else. Next on her list was getting into her tux. During their original wedding it was Lena who had been in the tux and her in the dress. This time she was determined to see Lena in a dress.
"Just try and get something sorted please. I have to go." She said trying to get out.
"Will do." Jesse said with Mako nodding in agreement. He looked down at the passed out junker and groaned. Mako wasn't complaining though. He enjoyed Jamie more when he could be quiet.
All the other preparations had gone of perfectly. Now it was just time for the ceremony.
Amelie was waiting by the makeshift altar. By her side was Zenyatta who as well as a medic counted as a religious figure who could bind them. Lucio started the music and everyone tuned to see the main event.
Lena was wearing a light blue dress with short sleeves and a slightly poufy skirt. Amelie and Lena had each chosen wedding dress when they first started dating for fun and thankfully she had kept the magazine in which she had circled her ideal one. She seemed to be happy enough but she was clearly still trying to remember all the faces that were looking at her.
She was being walked down the aisle with Jack. He was pretty much a dad to everyone at Overwatch and they would have gotten Reinhardt as he was the ultimate dad of Overwatch but he would have burst into tears because she was like a daughter to him and he was a big softy on wedding days. Amelie could see Ana handing him a tissue already. Jack didn't want to do it because he felt weird about weddings, for obvious reasons, but it was for Lena and Amelie so he did it anyway.
"You look beautiful Lena." Amelie said softly to her as Zenyatta was beginning to say the boring opening wedding introductions.
"Thanks Amelie. I can see why I liked you before." She whispered back. Amelie for a moment thought that it had come back to her as she used her flirty tone of voice but then reminded her she didn't remember anything.
After a while it was time for the 'I do's'.
"Do you Amelie Lacroix take Lena Oxton to be your wife?"
"I do." She replied confidently.
"And do you Lena Oxton take Amelie as your wife?"
"I do." She said not really sure.
This was so surreal to her. The situation had been explained to her time and time again but it was just so unusual. She didn't know anything about who she was but out of everyone there she trusted Amelie the most. She always looked at her with such warmth and kindness. The others kinda scared her but the few who didn't she assumed were her best friends. Especially the gorilla.
"You are joined in the Iris. You may become one." He said closing the omnic book.
They were going to exchange the rings when the next problem came up. When they were meant to get them from the box the found only the purple cushion in its place.
"You have got to be kidding me." First the food now this she was beginning to think that it was just going to get worse.
"Improvise. If we don't Amelie will have our heads. Not just because she's French but because she will literally kill us all." Angela whispered underneath her breath. They looked at each other for ideas but everyone seemed to be coming up empty.
Genji had a weird idea but he thought that it might just work. He took out a small orb he had gotten from Zenyatta and make a notion for Torb to come over. Luckily Lena and Amelie were helping looking for the missing rings so they would have a chance to make a replacement.
He took of one of the golden circular plates and took the Swedish man's gun and used two bullets to make two perfectly usable rings. Everyone was amazed at the speed at which he had made them and gave him a thumbs up for practically saving the day.
"How did you get one of his orbs?" Mercy asked playing with the remains of the orb. Wondering how it's healing technology worked so she could use it as her own.
"Oh Master gave it to me so I wouldn't have to constantly ask you for healing on the battlefield." He said thinking of all the time he had annoyed her endlessly asking for healing. She remembered two and the two looked at each other before the realised they should probably get the rings to the currently not so happy couple.
"We have something like the original rings until we find out where the other ones went." He handed them the rings and Amelie looked a lot less tense. Zenyatta looked at the rings and looked back to Genji who was hiding behind the doctor. He was going to treat his student well tonight. Even if he did ruin a gift it made two people very happy.
"You may *now* become one." Zenyatta said again but this time for definite.
Lena and Amelie kissed each other and were now married for the second time. They waved to everyone as they cheered on. Reinhardt clapping loudly while Pharah shoot confetti from her cannon. It was an uproar of happiness. It would have been louder but Junkrat was still passed out.
Next off they all headed to the wedding reception where they encounter their next and final disaster of the day. It was the worst of them all.
As soon as they were in the reception area they opened the doors expecting the music to start playing and the lights to be glowing like last time. The first time around it was an orange and purple themed colour scheme with banner and balloons covering the floor and ceiling. The music was a mixture of punk and ballet, combing their two favourite genres. This was not like last time.
It had been completely frozen over. Ice and snow now adorned the floor and ceiling.
Amelie was *this* close to losing it. She looked closer at the damage and noticed that there were broken bits of scrap metal with cryo-warnings on them and she instantly looked towards the scientist.
"It was the only way I could stop the fire from spreading from the kitchen. It got bigger then expected and my technology started to malfunction. I'm so sorry. Bastion and I were trying to fix it." She said running out from the now charred kitchen. Bastion running in as well along with a fire hydrant. Spraying the walls with foam in a panic, thinking that the fire was still ongoing. He msitook one of the orange balloons for a flame and made it pop with the cooling agent.
"Oh no this is-" Amelie was not angry. She was panicking. Her mind was going to all the negative options, like Lena not remembering or Lena getting cold. The chronal accelerator would always act up if it was too cold. She hoped that if Talon fixed her chronal accelerator that they also fixed that problem.
"An ice rink!" Lena exclaimed. The dance floor had been changed to an icy ground and unlike her newlywed wife who saw it as a negative, she saw it as a great possibility.
Lena was happy and it wasn't what Amelie wanted but seeing Lena act like her old self was sure to do something good for her memory and honestly it was what Amelie needed too. Just Lena being happy to make her feel better.
"Anyone got any skates?" She asked to the room only to be met with negatively shaking heads.
No more than a second later blue and white skates had attached themselves around her feet. A smug looking Satya having just saved the day made more pairs for the rest of the team. She loved it
Lucio and were able to hook up each other's speakers and were able to find some cool wintery sounding yet dubstep style music that everyone could skate to. Reinhardt and Ana decided to sit it out and make everyone cups of hot chocolate or tea. Mei had already made an ice sculpture in the shape of the overwatch logo. It looked well.
Just like before everyone was helping make this all the more special. It was just as fun as the first wedding. If not more. There were two types of people there. Those who could skate and those who could not. Mei was defiantly the best due to her year of working with ice and living in the arctic followed by Satya who skated with absolute precision. The one who fell on their but the most was Winston. His size didn't help him much and it was making Lena laugh at the big guy.
The rest of the day consisted of them doing different winter sports and doing all kinds of winter activities. Snowball fights, snowmen building and naturally making giant ice forts. It was one of the most fun snow day Overwatch had had all year. Amelie completely forgot to be mad a Jamieson for starting this mess she was having that much fun.
It was reaching 4 in the morning when most of the people had decided to either go home or go to bed. Lena and Amelie were left on their own, drinking marshmallow hot chocolate. It was nice and quiet before Lena looked up from her drink with sadness in her eyes.
"I'm sorry there's still nothing. I really am trying though." Lena said taking Amelie's hand. Amelie sighed and gave a supportive look.
"Well it was worth a shot." Sure it didn't work but they had fun. Amelie was beginning to wonder maybe Lena losing her memories permanently would be okay. Sure their old times together were lost but Lena still loved her and was learning once again how to be a hero. Then again, she was a new Lena and she was homesick for the old one.
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault." She reminded her. The stereotype of British people was true for her mostly. Apologizing for things out of her control.
They watched the night sky and noticed a shooting star. They didn't looked at each other but both wished for the same thing.
Their shared wish could be coming true sooner than they thought.
