A blinding light overtook the area, the onlookers all covering their faces in response. In those few seconds of intense shine, Angela's desire came to fruition. She had all the medical knowledge locked away inside her head, her first attempts at toying with the subject of life and death shown in Genji. But to bring the fully dead back to life, to mend broken bones in mere seconds? That was something that she had never actually considered possible.

Yet here she stood, radiating a light that seemed to be doing exactly that. She felt the breath of life enter each of her fallen comrades, their eyes opening suddenly to the blinding light that filled them.

Genji's head was put into place, his spine corrected and every connector from his brain to his body reattached.

Lena's chest was pushed back out, the mark of the fist that had crushed her leaving her as those ribs were popped back into place to give her heart and lungs the proper space once more.

Jack's throat expanded back to it's original sizing, the light filling his lungs with the first cool breath of his renewed existence.

Once their wounds were healed, each of them were risen to their feet to face the monster that had taken their lives mere seconds before. Angela smiled as she felt their presence surrounding her, the warmth of their life filling her with a renewed sense of courage, bravery and hope.

The light soon faded, allowing those around the group to see what had transpired in the last few seconds. While everyone was rather shocked that the fallen heroes had returned, it was only the Anubis controlled Gabriel that spoke out.

"Ah, how considerate of you Angela! Here I thought that this day couldn't get any better. But now I get to kill all of you, including those three all over again? Well this might as well be my birthday!"

The AI cackled as he began to make his way forward, each step letting off a powerful surge of electricity as the gauntlet glowed brightly. The revived group of heroes quickly took their positions around Angela, knowing that they couldn't let history repeat itself.

"So, anyone got any good ideas? Because I reeeeeally don't want to take another punch like that..." Lena nervously laughed as she readied her pistols, fidgeting in place a slight bit as she looked at the others.

"Yeah, I got something." Jack spoke up, though not too loudly as he looked at Lena with a grin. "I think my plan is about to come around, we just need to keep him distracted for a bit longer. Think you and Genji can keep him at bay? He's strong but doesn't seem too agile. So use that to your advantage until I give you the signal."

Lena smiled and nodded, looking at Genji as she smirked. "It'll be like target practice, just like the old days?"

Genji brought up his right arm, shurikens swiftly slipping between his fingers. "Hopefully you have gotten better at aiming."

With a shared chuckle, the two of them rushed the creature, Lena dashing up quickly to his side and starting the process that they had all seen in the field at least once.

"Whatcha' doin' over here?" She would ask in her highest voice, an angry growl the only response she got before a swing came at her. He might have gotten her the first time, but Lena was a quick learner and wasn't about to let her guard down again. The swing hit nothing but air as Lena appeared on the angered being's other side, a laugh coming from her now.

"Come on now, you really gonna hit a girl?" Another swing, another miss.

"Well no, guess not. Since you ain't hittin' nothin'!" The girl dodged another swing by going backwards before waving her finger at the now enraged AI before she looked up. Her sudden upward glance caused the creature to follow in sync, only to find Genji's feet soon placed firmly upon his face. The power of the kick sent the AI to the ground, though not for very long. The gauntlet soon went to grab at the nimble ninja, finding nothing but air once more.

"To think, we were all afraid of you. I am more afraid of my mentor than you." Genji wasn't usually one to taunt, but it honestly felt good to have such an easy way of controlling the AI's actions. The sad part was that the thing reminded him of himself when Gabriel had first taken an interest in him and wanted him for Blackwatch. THe AI wanted nothing but power, to kill those who he believed had wronged him. It was a sobering experience to see what might have happened, had Genji not sought out and found inner peace.

As the team of Genji and Lena kept the AI busy, Jack grabbed Angela and quickly brought her to Reinhardt, the old German finally free of his wall. He quickly brought both of them into a tight embrace, the armor he wore making this much harder to pull away from.

"AHHH MY FRIENDS! I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU ONCE MORE!" His voice boomed as he let the two go finally, smile wide as he looked them over with that usual mix of energy and charisma.

"Glad to see you as well old friend, but we don't have much time. Angela, I need you to stay right here and heal Reinhardt, I'll need him in tip top shape for my plan." Jack had quickly taken the wheel once more, his age seeming to have been long forgotten as he had his second chance at life. Angela nodded with an eager smile, ready to help in any way possible.

"Alright, Reinhardt. You remember that old move we used a few times throughout the omnic fights? The uh... what was it... Ground Smash?"

"AH YES! THE EARTHSHATTER! HOW COULD I FORGET?!" The large man stood tall as he grabbed his hammer, his smile that of a man who couldn't wait to unleash hell.

Angela attached her beam to the large man, knowing that he shouldn't have too much damage compared to the others thanks to his armor, but she was going to make sure he was optimal. She watched as Jack waited for the AI to turn his back before running towards where Sombra and Amelie still sat. Jack spoke to Sombra quickly, the younger girl nodding along and flexing her fingers a bit as she shot a dirty look towards the AI, who was still swatting at the Genji and Tracer duo.

Jack stood tall as he made his way in front of Sombra and Amelie, starting to walk towards the AI. Anubis quickly took notice of this and forgot his current quarrel to handle the lone man, that murderous smile becoming wild.

"HEEEEERE JACKY BOYYYYY, TIME TO DIE AGAINNNNNN!"

Jack stood with a wide smile on his face, egging the AI on by putting out his arms a bit and giving a 'come on' motion with his fingers. As the creature grew closer, Jack could feel his heart racing, along with everyone else's doing the exact same. Angela's eyes widened as she looked back to see the scene, Reinhardt soon pushing past her with his hammer in both hands.

"Angela, thank you for this opportunity to fight. I know it came at a high cost for you, but we will make it up to you." The man turned and nodded at her, his smile warm before he raised that massive weapon into the air, the jets on the back firing loudly.

"HAMMER DOWN!"

The floor shook as Reinhardt's hammer slammed downwards, cracks rippling towards the AI, the bloodthirsty thing once again caught off guard in it's attempts to maim. As the floor crumbled around it's legs, the AI fell face first and was left vulnerable. Jack looked backwards at Sombra, shouting and pointing at the AI.

"NOW'S YOUR CHANCE, DO IT!"

Sombra nodded and tossed a small device toward the AI, her body suddenly disappearing before reappearing right above where the AI laid. She landed gracefully, knees in the AI's back as she ripped back Gabriel's hood, her fingers working over the place that she had messed with not too long ago. Screens would appear above her other arm, Sombra's brow furrowing as she worked. Jack shouted a bit as he ran back to Angela and Reinhardt, finally picking his weapon back up to prepare for the worst.

"WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME, YOU NEED TO-"

"WILL YOU SHUT IT? I'M WORKING!"

Sombra snarled a bit, the AI putting up quite a bit of a fight compared to when she had put him into Gabe. She felt sweat starting to form along her forehead, knowing that whatever the old man had done wouldn't last long. She was getting close, just a few more seconds...

"YOU... FOOLS!"

The screech from the floor caused Sombra to flinch and jump backwards, her body thankfully better at responding to imminent danger than her conscious self. The AI wasn't quick to rise though after it's angered yell, many of the surrounding onlookers noting the gauntlet had grown significantly dim. As the body rose from the floor, it's quick turn made many of them gasp.

The color was once again gone from Reyes' face, his eyes locking onto Angela as his labored breathing became audible.

"Angela... please... come... clos-" Reyes' gravelly voice cut off as he fell to one knee, his breathing only seeming to grow worse. Angela felt compelled to run towards him, her body going through with the motion before her mind had actually come to a rational thought about what could happen. She fell to her knees in front of the man, taking him by his shoulders and helping to pull him up enough so that she could look him in the face.

"Gabe... is it really you? Please... please let it be you..." Her whisper was full of sorrow as she had almost forgotten that behind the AI and the gauntlet, there was still the broken man. Gabriel nodded as he blinked a few times, though he couldn't seem to keep his head up for too long on his own.

"It's still in me Angela... I can feel it.. gnawing at my brain, trying to control me... you need to..." He coughed, his body slightly dissipating as his eyes flashed a bit of red.

"You have to kill it Angela. If I can do one last thing right, it's help you kill it. Just... aim for my head and when I..." He coughed again, body growing even harder to keep a grip of as Angela nodded softly, eyes starting to leak once more.

"If we time it right, we'll do it. Then I can say that I beat Jack. I did something he couldn't.. heh..." Gabriel weakly smiled as he leaned back a bit, his head pointing towards the ceiling.

Angela took a deep breath and rose to her feet, pistol in hand. A few shaky moments were followed by a sudden pointing of her barrel at the man's face, right between his eyes. The two of them stared at each other, the memories of their shared time running through both of their minds.

"See you around kid..."

A gunshot rang out through the room, the onlookers all flinching at what they had just witnessed. Where Gabriel had been sitting, was nothing more than a cloud of black smoke and the gauntlet. The smoke quickly dissipated into the air around Angela, while the gauntlet cracked and fell into two pieces, every bit of light soon diminishing from it. Angela stood alone for a few seconds, watching the smoke fade away from her sight, before she felt her mind clear. She turned to Sombra, only flashing her a glance before demanding an answer.

"Alive? Or dead?"

Sombra finally pried her eyes from the scene to check her readings, flicking through everything she had before nodding softly, not needing to ask who she had meant. The others began to make their way towards Angela as she stood over the gauntlet, putting her weapon away.

"I hope you've found some form of peace Gabe..."

Jack's hand was soon on Angela's shoulder, patting a bit before the woman was pulled into a tight embrace by nearly every other person there. The warmth of them felt wrong somehow after what she had just done, but she knew that if there was ever a time to have people beside her, it was now. Her hold matched the embraces she was given and then some as heard Ana and Jack talking over what they should do with the gauntlet itself.

"There's no real reason to keep it. We just saw what it can do in the wrong hands Jack."

"Well yes, but if we just throw it somewhere then how will we know that said wrong hands won't find it and rebuild it?"

"It should stay here." Angela piped up as she joined the two of them.

"It wasn't ours to begin with and while it is powerful, I don't believe anyone would be foolish enough to steal it now that it's broken."

Jack and Ana looked at each other, before nodding in agreement. Jack picked the gauntlet back up and looked around a bit, sighing softly.

"I really hope we have the money to fix this, they won't let us see the end of it if we don't..."

Popping up from behind him, Sombra was smiling brightly.

"Don't worry Jacky, I've got that all worked out for you all already!"

She brought her arm around him to show two separate accounts, one being drained as the other one was filled to what the estimated amount for repairs would be.

"Call it a favor, for actually helping Gabe this time around..." The comment was a bit sharp, though Sombra didn't stick around to hear any ifs, ands or buts. She was gone as fast as she had appeared, with Amelie seeming to have slipped into the wind during the Overwatch reunion tour. Jack sighed to himself and shook his head.

"Well, I guess the only thing to really do is go home. I don't know about you all but I need some sleep..."

Angela and the others nodded as they all made their way back towards the drop ship that had brought them there in the first place, though something caught Angela's eye before she walked out of the large hole in the wall. She whipped her head around, looking for whatever it had been that had gotten her attention, though she saw nothing but an empty museum now. She felt compelled to speak and while she felt silly for talking to the open air, she did so anyway.

"I'm sorry for what happened to you Gabriel. But just know that I am always here. You might not admit it, but you need a guardian angel."

Angela smiled to herself softly as she pictured the face that Gabriel would have made at such a comment. She made her way towards her friends, excited to get back home and put all of this behind her.

For the first time in what felt like ages, she felt content with the world.
