Heloo, this is my first story on this sight, but I fell in love with gency so much I needed to make a story, this is more on the lengthy side, maybe (dont quote me) it will be 10+ chapters.
It was meant to read kind of like a novel, with very heavy gency. But it wont be completely gency.
Every time you see a % the perspective of the story has changed.
Timing, her life was absolutely full of of it, wether it be perfect or terrible, it was full of it, this was no exception.
She had taken care of a lot of extremely critical cases, hell, many of them when she was a field medic
but this case, it would give even her a run for her money.
Angela Ziegler, aka "mercy" the miracle worker, she had been all over the world, hell she had been surprised when she realized that she hadnt been to japan yet, then again, she was only there because it was required.

The Japanese government was getting increasingly tired of what the shimada family and their gang (well by now, small army) where doing to japan, so they of course sought the help of overwatch. Little did they know that their solution to the problem was one chance encounter away.

Angela was having a pretty stressful week in japan, she had a week there and the overwatch base she was stationed at wasnt the most spacious. So she decided that on the only free day she had gotten out of the week, she would do some old fashioned tourism and site seeing. As she was heading to her next location, the shimada family castle, making sure to stay at a safe distance. She heard what she could only describe a the whale of a beast, perhaps even the roar of a dragon, it shook her to her very bones as the noise was absolutely overwhelming. she immediately turned her head in the direction of noise, fearing that she had been recognized by the shimada, overwatch wasnt exactly in their good graces.
She saw something flying in the direction of the street, violently hitting a wall and painfully bouncing off, an audible crack being heard, making her cringe. She looked at the thing that had fallen onto the street and very quickly realized that it was a person, albeit an incredibly mangled one. Her heart was already rushing but this set her on edge, quickly, her instincts kicked in as she sprinted towards the body, giving no concern for her well being.
When she got to the scene, she gasped, the man was in terrible condition, the mere fact that he was still breathing was a miracle of its own, she panicked as she wondered if she had anything on her person that could remotely help him, and the blood nearly completely covering him made it near impossible to discern where the bleeding originated, she felt around desperately for something, at last, she felt something in her back pocket, something she kept specifically for emergencies, she pulled out a small red inhaler and quickly put it on the mans face, his body glowed as he inhaled the healing compounds, and with a jolt and wince the man seemed to regain at least some consciousness, quickly, now having at least temporarily stabilized her patient, she pressed a button she had stitched into her sleeve, a deeper voice responded "angela? Are you in trouble?! whats going on?!"
"Winston, I need a helicopter and an emergency crew, now! i found a man in extemely critical condition just outside the shimada family castle" she shouted in a panicked tone
"ive already sent a crew, just stay put"
she turned her attention to the man, still absolutely baffled that he was still alive, let alone conscious
hiding her panic as much as she could, she gave the warmest smile she could muster, and told the man "it is okay now, im taking care of you"
the man, one eye open, just stared in awe at the blonde.
"just stay with me" she cried, the panic in her voice more prominent now
"tell me, what it your name?" she said, desperately trying to keep him fighting
the man, seemingly mustering his strength, replied "genji, my name is genji"
she felt a wave of relief, albeit it short lived, as she was relieved he could still talk.
%
was he in heaven? No, he would never end up there, yet, there clearly seemed to be an angel standing above him. Had he died? No, the pain was still too great, and he could still feel himself fighting.
Yet, there seemed to be an angel standing above him, he swore he could see a halo above her head,
though that may be the blood loss.
His thoughts came rushing back to him, as his already terrible heart rate sky rocketed, he remembered why he was in this position, he felt the betrayal catching up with his mind, anger welding up inside him, reluctant anger at that, but he couldn't help it.
'how could he have brung himself to do this, to his own brother?!'
'what had he even done to cause this outrage in hanzo?'
his blood started to boil, a sharp pain coming from his collapsed ribcage as he let his anger overwhelm him, and one last question shot into his mind before he started to fade
'why?'
his vision started to fade severely, no longer being able to hold his head up, he collapsed.
The last thing he saw was this angel compressing his chest, as he heard what he thought would be the last thing he would ever hear.
"dont you die on me!"
'well, at least it was a voice sweeter than any he had heard, even if she was panicked' he thought, as his mind went black.
"dont you fucking die on me!"
%
she was losing him, fast, she went into complete overdrive, not even noticing the hoverbird landing behind her, she was pulled off by and emergency crew as they saw she was in an unfit state to care for him.
Both of them where quickly put on cots and flown to the medical bay of the japanese overwatch base.
Having regained her composure, Mercy decided to be part of the crew that brought genji to the emergency operating room, as mercy demanded she be the one to personally perform the surgery on her own, though the other doctors insisted she was too stressed, but she knew she was the only one who could save him.
Saving genji was the hardest thing she had done in her entire career, even if she was in her early twenties, but this was going to take a miracle. There was so much of his body that was unsalvagable that she doubted he would even have any organs or limbs left if she kept removing dead flesh. Everything from flesh to bone was oddly burned, not by fire, but by something else, it had rendered most of his body useless.
A full day had gone by, genji only living off of machines, and his condition looking for the worst.
Thats when, at 6 am, a familiar ape scientist knocked at the door to the room.
"may I come in? I have very important matters to discuss, I promise I wont be long"
'what could be more important than saving a mans life?'
she thought to herself before letting the friend in
without hesitation, Winston began his speech
"ive been informed on the situation here, and so has jack. I know this is a dire situation and I know how critical he is, but, jack wanted to inform you on how overwatch will be getting involved in Genji's case."
Jack, she already didnt like this. Sure the old man was like the father she never had, but his 'decisions' where always sketchy, always involving people owing overwatch something, usually their lives.
She did not reply, simply letting the gorilla continue informing her on what was going to be done to genji.
"as I said, overwatch is getting personally involved in genji's survival, im sure youve read his file, he is the second son of the shimada clan, and jack feels he could give us some crucial information on the shimada clan, that could finally let us get the upper hand we need, but, returning him to a fit state will require..."
the ape paused, sighing heavily
"complete cyberization"
those dreaded words, she knew this was going to be the hardest operation she had ever taken up, but she was incredibly weary of where this was going now, complete cyberization was insanely expensive, and she doubted they would do this for genji just for information, after all, she read in his file that he had received extensive ninja and infiltration training, but, either from ignorance or just hoping jack was going to do the right thing for once, she just accepted what was happening. as, even if she wanted to, refusing to do this would spell the death of genji shimada
"ive already gotten to work on basic plans for his suit, but connecting it to his bodily functions is going to require your extensive help, as so, ive been assigned as your assistant until the operation is done"
and so they began working on the man that would later save her.
Winston had copious amounts of sleep, and kept himself to his laboratory mostly, working on genji's suit. Angela, on the other hand, didnt sleep, she hadnt had a single ounce of sleep for days now, the operation took 8 days, a miracle span of time to make a man a completely new body she supposed. Then again, Winston was designing the tech.
But she hadnt slept much through it all, being too paranoid about the health of her patient to rest. Sorting out every last single detail to ensure he could live as normally as possible, but the work was starting to wear on her.
Later that night, as they both sat over their immense creation, performing some last tests before finally pulling the machines off of him, she noticed some peculiar slits on his right hand, she had only worked on the torso and life support, the arms and legs where left to Winston.
"Winston, what are those?" she questioned as she started to panic yet again, fearing that the biggest achievement she has ever worked on had been made into something terrifying .
Trying to hide what was obvious, he nervously chuckled and said
"well, they are for ventilation, cant let his suit overheat"
she knew damn well that wasnt why they where there, she ran over to her desk, where she flew through the blueprints they had stacked, she stopped when she saw the blueprint for a strange compartment in genji's arm, and the only word she was concerned with was 'shuriken'
Angela was furious, How could They do this? This man hadnt even agreed to anything! And they just decide that he owes his life to overwatch?! And just has to be their weapon?! For what? Letting him have his vengeance on the shimada clan?! So they wont have to deal with it?
She was furious, outraged, she couldnt believe that Morrison could just do this to her.
Tears started to weld up in her eyes
"Winston! How could you just let jack do this?! This wasnt even His decision to make! Youre forcing someone to be a living fucking weapon!"
she swiftly kicked him out of the room before he could speak, she was having none of it, and quickly locked the door. Retreating to her desk before crying into the blueprints, now scattered all around the room.
What she hadnt noticed was that she forgot to administer more anesthetic to genji, and he was already at the edge of waking
%
he awoke again, his whole body aching, and, a strange crying coming from the room he was in as his eyes opened, he immediately figured he was in a hospital, and in a hospital bed. He found he had no resistance when he moved his body, and felt the freedom to raise his hand to his face.
But he never felt his face, only his fingers running across a plate of metal, he felt his hand, but was shocked at what he saw when he opened his eyes again, steel.
Dumbfounded he assumed that he was given a protective face mask and a prosthetic, which was not uncommon in the world these days. His attention turned to the crying, he turned his head, and he saw his gaurdian angel again.
Ignoring his body and situation due to denial, he felt heartache seeing such an elegant lady cry with such pain in her voice.
Wether it was his playboy nature or something different, he felt he should at least attempt to help her.
"you asked for my name, but I forgot to ask for the blessing of knowing yours" he said, attempting to catch her attention, slightly startled at the robotic rasp his voice now carried
startled, she quickly turned to look at him, still unable to stop her crying.
She was speechless for a bit, not knowing what to say, clearly caught by surprise at genji's waking.
"I...I..my name is ugh, angela" she sputtered out in between the cries she was desperately trying to hold back.
%
oh god oh god oh god, this day keeps getting worse and worse, now on top of the living weapon problem, she had to deal with him possibly breaking down because of what he had become? She had locked them both into this room, he has weapons and deadly strength, what if he kills her? By now she was having thoughts about just accepting death.
And he had seen her crying, how long had he been awake? Had he seen the confrontation she had with Winston? Did he already know what was going on?
Her mind was absolutely racing.
"suiting that my gaurdian angel have a fitting name"
gaurdian angel? Was he not angry with her? But she had done this to him, she had condemned him to living as a weapon. He should hate her.
She started breathing heavily, she couldnt take this anymore, with the loss of Ana and the betrayal she felt from jack. She coudnt deal, not saying a single word, she retreated into her mind and began to pant and cry, not being able to control it anymore, she hoped he would just get it over with and put a shuriken into her skull, she didnt want to be so unable to actually help people anymore. She couldve been there for Ana, and she couldve saved genji, if only she had tried harder, if only she could not be limited.
And then she felt his arms wrap around her
