Swapped Roles AU

To say that she was a child prodigy was an understatement of the century, she was a genius with such a high IQ she was able to keep up with the scientists in Overwatch at the age of 12. Fareeha, at one point in her life, wanted to follow in her mother's footsteps and be a soldier. But when she hung out with the few scientists around in the Watchpoint, she knew what her true calling was. She made it her goal to become a doctor, to save people that way, and she became good at it. Good enough that Overwatch accepted her into their ranks.

Looking back, the thing she regretted most was the constant arguments with her mother. Her mother was more than happy with her career choice, but Fareeha, from a doctor's viewpoint did not want Ana to continue serving. She wasn't getting any younger, and she was getting slower because of this.

But she refused to retire, always so stubborn as an Amari was. That must have been what caused her death. From there on, everything went downhill in Overwatch. Overwatch might as well have died along with Captain Amari, because not long after, it was shut down along with the explosion of the Zurich base.

That was another mistake to add to her belt. All this time looking back, she saw how the organization went to shit, and why it should remain shut down. So why the hell did she accept the Recall? Maybe it was her insatiable need to help others, maybe it was because it was addicting.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a knock on her door, she looked up and raised a brow, "The door is always open for people to come in."

The automated door slid open and there stood a woman with blonde hair, blue eyes, and quite the muscular build. It was impressive considering she appeared to be about… 5'7" maybe? That seemed about right. Must be a new recruit they picked up recently.

"How can I help you uh…" She waited for the woman to fill in the rest for her.

"Captain Angela Ziegler. Helix Security Chief."

Fareeha stood up and crossed the room so that she stood in front of the Security Chief, "Well, it's an honor to meet you. I'm the head of medical here, Doctor Fareeha Amari."

The shorter woman seemed to have stars in her eyes when she said that, "Oh! I know who you are! I use to follow your career, I-... I mean, uh, same to you."

Fareeha chuckled, "Now why are you here?"

Angela blushed bright red, possibly due to embarrassed from her previous outburst, "I- Winston told me to check in with you first and leave you my medical files before I show them my prowess."

She was handed the files and she opened it for a quick peek, then closed it and nodded, "Thank you, I'll leave you to it then. Good luck!"

The captain nodded and scurried off. Fareeha watched her leave then set the file down on her desk and took off her lab coat. It wouldn't hurt to go see her prowess now would it?

Angela Ziegler was quite impressive. Fareeha took note instantly of the suit she wore. It looked big and bulky and was white with an orange to yellow gradient near her feet and on the tips of her jets. It had gold highlights on the shoulder padding and the joints. It truly was an impressive set of armor.

"It's called the valkyrie," Winston explained, "it's Helixes latest technology. It's pretty awesome!"

Fareeha smiled, it certainly was. She wondered briefly if they would be able to fly together, she hadn't flown the Raptora in years.

"Must you always hurt yourself like this? If you come back from a mission without at least one injury I might consider your offer." Fareeha tisked as she patted Angela's cheek, "And stop hitting on your doctors, it's unethical. Do you want to get them fired?"

Angela grinned up at her, "But if I don't flirt with them, I won't get put under your care."

"You're incorrigible."

"You love it. How about this, I take you out to dinner and I'll stop flirting with them."

"I have work tonight."

"You have work every night. Live a little, Doctor."

Fareeha rolled her eyes, "Alright fine, but just this once. And don't make me regret it."

Angela laughed.

Fareeha looked at her in confusion, "What?"

"You look like a bird in that."

It was the first time in perhaps years that she wore the Raptora, and she was being mocked! "You're one to talk, looked in a mirror yet?" Sure, she was inspired by a falcon a little bit, and it did have aspects like a falcon, like her helmet almost looking like a falcon's head, but she didn't need to confirm that for Angela. Fareeha's own armor was different from Angela's walking rocket launcher. It was a bit more form fitting, and it had medical supplies here and there should the case be dire. It was prominently blue with some silver highlights, she hadn't really intended it to be a nod to the Overwatch colors, she just liked the color blue.

"Touche," was Angela's response before she took off into the air. Fareeha followed after, a ghost of a smile on her face.
