.:Mercy:.

Angela awoke from her slumber, it was always a rare occasion when she got to sleep in so she indulged in not having to set any alarms for this morning. The doctor looked over at her side table, her clock read 11:35am. "OH NO I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE HELPING WITH THE PARTY" Mercy got out of bed in a hurry and ran to the bathroom to shower and dress so she could meet with everyone as soon as possible. The party wasn't until 2 but she could only think of all the issues they might be having right now without her.

She hurried down the hallway with her gift and phone in hand and took the elevator to the first floor. "I can't believe i didn't get a phone call or text or anything! I hope everything is going okay" she thought to herself as she fixed her hair into her signature ponytail. As she walked into the garden all attention was on her, everyone thinking it might have been Satya and Jesse coming in early. A premature party horn went off and Hana yelled "Surpri-oh it's just you Angie" the gamer pouted.

"Well geez don't sound so disappointed" she joked. The doctor looked around and everything seemed to be done already. She was pleasantly surprised on how nice it all looked. "Wow, looks like you guys had everything perfectly under control without me! I guess I worried about waking up so late for no reason"

"Well I figured you could use the rest since you're always overworking yourself so I told the kids to contact me first before they came to you. But everyone seemed to get their jobs done fine on their own, well except for these two" Ana said with a smile while ruffling Lena's hair

Angela smiled "did you guys have cake troubles?" Angie asked while looking for the cake. She turned around to see it front and center, a beautiful 4 layer cake covered in pastel flowers "This doesn't look like you had troubles at all!" Angela gasped at the cake before her. "You guys made this?! It's incredible!"

"Thank you my friend" Reinhardt smiled "I can't wait until the birthday girl herself sees it!" he patted Angela on the back and thrusted her forward unintentionally.

The doctor looked around, she saw the present table and placed her gift with the others. As she walked around looking at everyone she couldn't help but smile. Everyone seemed happy talking amongst each other, and everyone was wearing their normal casual clothes. It was rare not to see at least one person wearing their uniform or battle clothes because they were about to go on a mission, so it was nice seeing everyone together casually without any missions in place for once.

.:Symmetra and McCree:.

McCree was picking out clothes for Satya while she was in the shower. He had just gotten out himself and had a towel wrapped around his head while he fixed his clothes properly and looked through her closet for something nice. He tucked in his shirt to show off his ridiculous signature belt buckle and folded up the sleeves to give them the classic rolled up look but neater, half of the buttons being undone to show off his chest. He looked in the mirror for a minute to make sure he looked good, everything straight and all of the buttons aligned, and took the towel off his head so his hair could finish air drying. His shirt was a deep red color and was wearing black jeans. The cowboy even dabbed on a touch of cologne, something that he usually only wore for special occasions. He went back into her closet looking for something cute and girly but also not too fancy. He pulled out a beautiful yellow sundress covered in white flowers, it wasn't over the top but still nice enough to wear out at events. "Perfect! I've never seen her in this before, I wonder why she doesn't wear this more often, she looks beautiful in yellow" the cowboy said to himself.

Satya turned the shower off, grabbing a towel to dry off and exiting the shower. Jesse peeked his head into the bathroom with the dress in hand to put it in the bathroom for her, assuming she was still behind the curtain at least, but he was wrong, he blushed as he saw her bent over tying a towel onto her head. She stood up to see her boyfriend watching her and blushed furiously "J-Jesse! Why are you spying on me?!" she yelled, with her face hot with embarrassment trying to cover up.

"I-I'm sorry darlin' i was just gonna tell you i picked out clothes for you to wear! I-I didn't think you stepped out the shower yet" The cowboy retreated his head in embarrassment then stuck his arm thru the door to hand her the dress "H-here, I wantcha to wear this today, i think it'll look beautiful on ya". She took the dress and he closed the door, feeling bad for peeping on her like that.

"Jesse isn't this a bit much? I thought we were just staying in today" Satya questioned, confused at her boyfriend's choice in clothing. She liked it but it just seemed…unnecessary.

"Well darlin' since we don't get too many days off with each other like we have been lately, I didn't wanna waste them all just spending them inside all the time, as much as i do love our alone time together, I figured we could go on a lil date! I planned a little lunch for us down in the picnic garden. Sound good t'ya?"

She smiled while placing the dress on a hook and continuing her routine, he's always being such the charmer. "Always the romantic" she giggled "It sounds wonderful, i'll be out in a moment" she said before she started her hair dryer.

Jesse could barely contain his excitement, waiting outside the door like a smiling puppy he couldn't wait for her to come out and take her downstairs. After a few minutes of waiting she opened the door. Jesse couldn't contain himself and grabbed both of her hands, taking a minute to observe his beautiful girlfriend before him. He let go of one of her hands and spun her around while holding the other above her head. "I'm sorry miss have you seen my girlfriend? She was supposed to be in the bathroom but all I see here is an angel" He said with a huge smile still on his face.

She chuckled at him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips "I'm glad you like it. Though it still feels like a bit much…"

"Darlin don't be ridiculous you look beautiful. C'mere let me do your hair for ya" he took her hand and walked her back into the bathroom. He stood her in front of the mirror behind the sink, and braiding a section of her hair on the left side, then on on the right side, and combined the two braided pieces to look like a crown going halfway around her head. He kissed the top of her head after admiring his work.

*bzz bzz bzz*

"Jesse…." after a week of constant messages Satya was getting fed up

"Don't worry darlin, it's just Angie, wanted to know if we wanted anything from the store" Jesse lied again, he felt bad for lying to her so much lately but it was all going to be worth it in less than 10 minutes.

"Everything's all set! We're all down stairs waiting! :)" Angela messaged Jesse

"We'll be down in a few, get ready! But tell everyone don't do anything til we're right in front of them!" Jessie replied. He turned to Satya and held out his hand "shall we?" he smiled

"We shall" she grabbed his hand and returned the smile.

The couple entered the garden and Jesse suddenly snaked his hands over her eyes "Ah! Jesse what are you doing?!" she giggled and grabbed at his hands

"Everything's suddenly so bright! Your beauty! It's blinding! I need to shield your beautiful golden eyes from yourself! I can barely see m'self you're shinin' so bright!" Jesse teased and laughed as they stumbled across the garden while he covered her face.

"You're so silly Jesse. Let go I can't see!" she giggled and pulled at his hands. They had stumbled their way to be in front of the party guests, who were trying their hardest to be quiet and not start giggling with them as well, ready for Jesse's signal

"Yer the boss sugar!" Jesse put his hands on her shoulders

"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Everyone cheered in unison as Satya stared in surprise and bewilderment. Party poppers and party horns were going off. Junkrat and Lucio almost having a party horn battle amongst themselves. Mako's head was covered in confetti from the party streamers thanks to Jamie popping his too close to him. Hana ran up to her and gave her a huge hug then put a fluffy pink crown on her head that read "Birthday Girl" and had bright pink fake jewels within it.

"Happy Birthday Sati! You look so pretty!"

The architect looked down at the happy gamer, still clearly confused about everything that was happening. "Wh….birthday? It...it's not…." She looked around the garden again trying to process everything. Familiar faces smiling in front of her and colorful decorations everywhere behind them "Did….did you guys do this for me?" Satya asked clearly confused and flustered. Everyone giggled at her, it was actually cute to see her flustered like this since she was always so calm and collected about everything.

"Of course it's all for you Sati! We threw a surprise party for you!" Hana said bouncing up and down clearly overly excited to throw her friend her first birthday party ever

"But why would you all…" Satya trailed off clearly still trying to gain her composure back

"Well after you told us that you never had a birthday party before your boyfriend behind ya organized us all to help out and throw one for ya! Ain't he a keeper?" Lucio spoke up explaining the situation she was in, partly teasing McCree in the process. She turned around and looked at the cowboy behind her.

Letting go of her shoulders he scratched the back of his head, about to explain himself "Well darlin' I-" he stopped short when he heard sniffing and looked at the architect in front of him, he immediately took her into his arms once he saw a tear fall down her cheek. "Angel what's wrong?! Don'tcha like it?!" he asked with concern in his voice, pulling her close and wiping a tear from her eyes.

"No...it's not that it's just...this is the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me before so i'm just a little...overwhelmed by how much everyone cared and how much hard work everyone put into this" She said in between sniffs while he wiped away her tears from her face, smiling gently at her. A sympathetic "aww" was heard from most of the members behind her, Hana ran back up to the couple giving her another tight hug, which was followed by Lena and Fareeha, then Ana, Mei and Jamie, Angela, Zenyatta and Lucio, everyone slowly joining into a group hug except for Mako since he wasn't one for hugs, Jack trying to keep his grump persona even though he actually really is touched by her reaction, and Hanzo and Genji. Genji not joining simply because he's trying to get Hanzo to join and Hanzo being too stubborn to join and getting more and more flustered by Genji's comments.

"Brother why don't you join in the hug to comfort her? You do like her after all right? This is the perfect time to give her a hug without question!" Genji nudged at his brother

"Be quiet Genji, why don't you go and join in the hug? You can sneak a hug onto that speedster girl without question after all" He said smugly with his arms crossed not budging to his brother's teasing.

"How did you?!-" Genji just crossed his arms and pouted, he didn't think he knew about his small crush on Lena

Jack looked over at the brothers, they were speaking Japanese so he couldn't understand them but he could only guess it was more brotherly teasing. The last one to actually join in the hug was of course Reinhardt, squeezing everyone together until they couldn't breathe. The large german man couldn't contain himself and forgot his own strength again. Once Reinhardt let go everyone slowly walked away trying to catch their breath.

Jesse was still holding Satya, readjusting the birthday crown that Hana gave her and kissed her forehead. "See angel I told you everyone liked ya" he said in a small happy voice. She just smiled and rubbed her eyes a bit. She's never been so overwhelmed by happiness like this before so she was trying to regain her composure, straightening out her dress and wiping her face to make sure she didn't look like she was crying anymore. He understood this so he just held her loosely in his arms until she was ready to face everyone again so she would feel less embarrassed. She turned away from him, regaining back most of her composure and he let go of her.

"Thank you everyone for throwing this party for me. It really means a lot to me" she paused and bowed slightly "I...would love to get started but I am unsure of what people do at these events, let alone what we should do first…." she trailed off, eyebrows furrowed and index finger tapping her chin showing visual signs of confusion.

Everyone chuckled at her, she was being especially cute today, some guests even had a slight blush on their faces because it was the first time they've ever seen Satya like this, the normally calm, collected, and somewhat sassy architect being so flustered, emotional, and confused. It was adorable, charming even, to see her this way, this side of her. Hana grabbed her hands and started leading her to a table with one of her party games set up "This way Sati! We're gonna play games first!" the small korean solider said excitedly as she walked her friend to the table whilst everyone followed behind them. Lucio started playing the music to set a more happy and carefree mood.

Satya simply followed behind her friend as everyone walked with them, wondering what type of games they play during these occasions anyways. She felt a little shy still after getting so emotional in front of everyone, it was the first time that's ever happened to her. But she couldn't help but smile because it was just this morning that she was worried these same people didn't like her, only to come downstairs to this, and entire party just for her to celebrate her existence. They might be eccentric at times but honestly she could not have asked for better people to be her friends and coworkers, and she definitely couldn't have asked for a more caring boyfriend. "I definitely have to make this up to him" she thought to herself. After a week of suspicion caused by the amount of texts and calls he was getting it was all because he was setting up this, what a fantastic, loving man she's fallen for, her heart fluttered a bit thinking about everything he was going through behind her back just for her. She wanted to make it up to everyone for doing such a sweet and caring gesture for her, but especially for Jesse for planning and organizing the entire thing. But she would have to think of that later, for now she had to think about what kind of game it was Hana was about to make her play.
