NOTE: Please keep in mind this is an AU (I know the leaders of Overwatch was Morrison)

"You killed an Overwatch Agent."

"I did."

"Who? And why?"

Sighing I stood and crossed my arms. I thought for a long moment then said, "Ghalt."

"The Ghalt?"

"Yes."

"And you expect me to believe you kill the man who was at the top of the Overwatch chain?" He asked and I looked away from him, but did not answer. "Why did you kill him?" Still I did not answer, I let him think about it for a long few second before he figured it out. "He killed your Omnic parent?"

"He did. I asked the description of the man who killed him and he fit it. So, I hunted him down, fought him and killed him."

"How?"

Chuckling I turned to look at him right then, "I fought him, got him weak, then I allowed him to kill me. The moment he turned his back on me, I revived and shoved a sword through his heart. As he lay there dying out on the ground I then removed his head and hung it on what was left of the Overwatch headquarters door. To set a reminder that you do not fuck with a phoenix." I narrowed my eyes on him, though I knew he couldn't see it through my helmet, "you probably don't believe that, do you?"

"It is far from believable." He growled lowly. I unclipped my chest piece just enough to stick my hand down it then pulled out what looked like a data chip on a necklace. Then, I tossed it to him. "What is this?"

"I recorded the fight. Everything I do, is recorded in this." I said tapping the side of my helmet. "If I see something I desire saved, to hold onto the memory, I save it. That is the only thing I have saved, at least, on my person."

"And the rest?"

I stared at him hard a moment, "gone." My wings spread wide and I stood there watching him. "Do what you wish. I will be back by sunset." I then jumped and took off into the sky.

I flew around high in the sky, I needed to practice with my wings as it was. They were swore and my skills were diminished from not having used them in a couple years. However, as I flew around, memory returned, skills returned and I quickly adjusted back to them.

As the sun disappeared over the horizon, I landed in front of the entrance to the lab and folded my wings walking inside. Inside was darker than usual, most of the lights were shut off and most of the computers were as well, aside from the one Reaper normally used. Curious, I casually glanced around then stopped near the center of the room. Even if I wanted to find him, if he didn't want to be found, he would disappear into shadow and I wouldn't see him.

I heard something soft behind me and remained still, smirking lightly. I very suddenly tilted my head to the side as a sniper bullet veered past. Chuckling, I spun around, ducking down as another bullet passed. "Gonna have to do better than that." I muttered and began running where I saw the bullets coming from. Using my wings, I quickly skipped from side to side as the bullets came flying at me. I then thrust my wings down and shut into the air, swinging out my staff.

Whoever it was, dodged my swing and I spun around swinging it again, only to stop it just shy of their neck, the barrel of a gun aimed directly for my face.

"Hello, dear~" She chuckled in a thick French accent. I said nothing, only watched her. She lifted her arm and suddenly grappled away from me, firing her gun. The same second, I moved from the bullet, spread my wings and followed after her. On the main floor, we spent a long while dodging each other attacks. She had little care for the equipment in the room and I had to take a few shots to my armor to keep her from destroying anything. After all, I didn't know what Reaper needed and what he did not.

Growling lightly in close combat, I began spinning, spreading my wings out, which quickly were engulfed in flames. She was hit in her leg as she grappled away and I stopped turning to face wherever she disappeared too, however she blended right into the darkness. I saw the flash of the sight on her gun and saw she wasn't aiming at me but the only light source in the room, the single computer. Gritting my teeth, I spread my wings and jumped forward just as she fired.

The bullet collided with my shoulder and I slammed into the wall. Grunting in pain, I sat there a moment collecting myself. I heard her heels walking across the floor and looked up to see her just a few feet away. Quickly, I grabbed my pistol and aimed it up as she aimed her gun at me. I smirked and stood as we watched one another, I began moving my wings slowly and when I saw her finger move on the trigger I curled my wings blocking the bullet, then burst them forward sending fire her way which threw her across the room. I wouldn't let her get away, instead, I was right at her when she hit the ground.

Before she could even realized what happened I stepped on her arm that had the grappling hook and crushed it beneath my boot. I spun the staff around and shifted it into a sword. "It's been fun." I smirked and swung downward. A bullet from the darkness shot out and knocked the sword out of my hand, I watched it fall to the ground a good distance away. Hissing I turned drawing up my gun and saw Reaper step from the shadows.

"That's enough." He snapped and I sighed moving off the arm of the person I held down and backed away. "Why are you two fighting?"

"She fired at me about sixty times before I even attacked her." I said crossing my arms.

"She's an ally." He said stepping up to me and looking down at the women as she stood brushing herself off.

"Pleasure fighting with you," She smiled.

"And you are?"

"Widowmaker." She bowed her head. "And you are Phoenix, right?"

"I am." I nodded then turned towards Reaper. "Did you know she was coming?"

"I did not. But it is no matter. Widowmaker, come with me, we need to talk. Phoenix, heal yourself up." He said and the two of them walked away. I watched them head up into the private lab and talk to one another.

Sighing, I removed my armor and set it on the table, working to remove the bullets and heal myself. After a while, I glanced back at the lab to see they were side by side, shoulders brushing as they spoke and looked at something together. Frowning a bit, I forced myself to look away. Were they close? I knew they used to work together but, how close were they? Standing, I began replacing my armor.

I wasn't sure why I was so worried, it wasn't like he had the ability to care at all. Maybe she was just another body to take frustration out on. Was that all I was to him? I looked down to the palm of my right hand to see the scar stretching across it. Did he do this to her as well? I shouldn't have expected him to have that much loyalty to only me, I knew it from the start so why did it hurt this much now?

I dropped my head and turned, they were still so close to each other, talking about whatever it was they spoke about. I had to fight the overwhelming urge to fly in there and rip her from his side, but I knew that was unwise. This was his decision after all. Turning, I left the building and flew up onto one of the ridgelines cascading over the base and sat there, one foot kicked off, the other leg bent up to hang an arm off of. I simply stared at the moon and tried to wash away my thoughts, but they buzzed around never allowing me some peace.

My thoughts summed up to this: I belong to him, but I am not the only one and I had to accept that. Somehow, I still couldn't accept that. but at the same time, I couldn't end it. I was in far too deep. What if I just flew really, really far away from here?

"Would he be able to find me?" I muttered staring at my palm which was currenly covered in armored gloves.

"And why would I have to search for you?" A voice said from behind me but I didn't move. My heart was in my throat from fear so I dared not speak. As calmly as I could, I glanced over my shoulder to see Reaper standing there.

"I remained amused that you hid from me within shadow during the fight and wondered if I could do something similar to you." I shrugged and looked back out towards the moon.

"You're a horrid liar." I didn't respond. "Let me guess, you think I bonded with Widowmaker as I did you." Still, I was silent. He chuckled softly. "You are a stupid and foolish bird."

"As I am well reminded of that day after day." I sighed.

"She and I are nothing. Allies once, but she was more useless than you. Good at keeping small enemies at bay, but against a large foe, she always ran away to hide and take a shot. She works with a terrorist group that has a lot of information I need. So, I keep her as an ally."

"And will she be staying?" I asked looking over at him.

"She is already gone."

"Good." I growled looking away once more.

"Is this jealousy going to be a problem?"

Chuckling, I stood and faced him, "I told you, did I not? Anyone that gets close to you, I will kill. If we remained bonded like this, that will remain a fact. If you release your leash on me, then I will turn my head on whatever body you wish to punish next."

"You think I move from body to body, having my way because it pleases my nature?" He hissed and walked towards me. "You're more idiotic than I thought. Before I met you, there was never any other. It wasn't even a desire of mine. The thought of what you and I do disgusts me to my very core. With you, it's different and I tolerate it. Do not ever presume I will take another in simply because your body bores me."

"So, that's it? You desire simply my body to punish as you please?" I asked tilting my head out of curiosity.

"There is no simply. I desire your body to punish, yes. But as I previously stated, I also desire to keep you at my side."

"For what reason? As you so blatantly state day after day, I am rather useless."

"That is true, until I watched this." He said lifting the data chip I gave him earlier. "You had much more on here than simply your fight with Ghalt. There were many images of you fighting Omnic, of you fighting Overwatch agents to keep people or other peaceful bots safe, and of you fighting off soldiers after the second crisis among other things."

"So what of it? Now you see I'm not full of lies and I am capable in a fight?"

"Widowmaker showed up while you were in flight." He said suddenly. "I had already watched a good portion of this video and I asked her if she would stand against you so I could see it for my own eyes. She agreed and you did not disappoint."

"Okay?" I shrugged. "Now you're happy. Cool. What was so important that you two had to discuss in private?"

"That I did for multiple reasons. One, you needed to heal, I know you needed to remove your top armor, so I wished to give you privacy to do that. Two, I wanted to see how you would react with her on me. Something, I asked her to do while in the privacy of that room. Three, what we discussed would not have been kept from you, if you desired to know. It was simply the locations of Omnic bases in the states and their movement."

"So..." I stopped a moment, thinking trying to figure it out.

"I was testing you tonight and you did not disappoint. You are the fighter I thought you were. You reacted exactly as I expected you to react. However, I still expected you to break into the room and toss her off of me, yet you respected me enough not to do it. She has no desire to be with me as I have no desire to be with her. She has her own man in her organization."

"I don't know whether or not to be enraged or relieved." I muttered looking down.

"You might be neither in a moment. You had something else on this data chip I was curious about." Tensing up, I slowly lifted my head to stare at him. "You were married once." My entire body froze as I stared at him, it isn't your helmet that records data, it is your eyes. They aren't human, are they?"

"They aren't..." I muttered.

"Tell me."

"About the wedding or my eyes?"

"Let's start simple, your eyes."

Nodding, I thought for a moment. "It was during the first Omnic crisis. I was on the frontlines, there was a mother and two small children hiding in a bus. I rushed to them to guide them to safety. But it was an ambush, while I managed to get them to safety and kill the Omnic, with the help of , the exploding shrapnel of the Omnic hit my face, that is where I got this scar and lost my sight. took me into Winston who gave me these mechanical eyes, and placed the armor on my wings. Since then, my eye sight was increased so that I can remain high in the sky but still see as if I was on the ground and I record everything, but save it, to that." I said pointing to the chip. "At night, I got through the days data and delete most everyhing, save for important moments."

"Interesting." He said looking at the chip, turning it from side to side. "Now, the wedding."

"You saw what happened." I growled crossing my arms.

"Explain."

Sighing I closed my eyes. "I was with someone for a couple years, we decided to get married. The day of our wedding, we were attacked by Overwatch agents who killed everybody, but me. They killed my fiance, they killed all the guests and they tried to kill me. Why? Because I killed Ghalt. Happy?" I hissed opening my eyes to stare at him.

"How many did you kill?"

"Five of the eight that went after us, before I had to escape."

"You killed five Overwatch Agents?" He asked curiously.

"They were peons, weak agents that meant nothing, I didn't even recognize any of them. Not worth remembering their names at least." Shrugging slightly I continued watching him.

"And what of him?"

"In summary?" He nodded. "The exact opposite of you. He shared his love with me. He was kind, he was generous, had a heart of gold. A doctor that had no special ability but did his best to help people during the crisis."

"Did you sleep with him?" He asked, lowly, quietly. I sensed it though, in his voice, he was jealous. I could have lied, egged him on, fed off that jealousy but telling the truth seemed like a much better option.

"I did not." I answered, truthfully. "I desired to, but we thought it best to wait until we were officially married. He would have been my first, but he was not. He was killed before I even made it to the alter."

"Then who was your first?"

"Why all this jealousy? It's in the past, Reaper, leave it be." I snapped turning my back on him and facing the moon.

There was a sudden coldness in the air and I felt him against me from behind. An arm wrapped around my waist to keep me against him, the other hand made it to my chin, turning my head to the side and exposing the side of my neck which was still covered in armor.

"Who was your first?" He hissed in a low growl right into my ear, which sent shivers down my spin.

I closed my eyes as I felt his talons against my cheek, making sure I wouldn't move my head. "You were." I answered. "After that day, I kept to myself, remained alone. I never partnered with anyone else until I joined you that one day a few months ago."

He chuckled, "That is hauntingly delightful to hear. Now, I want you to do exactly as I say, is that understood?" I nodded slightly. "Reach down and remove your armor."

"Right h-here?" I asked, suddenly fearful. "We are right on the edge of the cliff."

He chuckled, "why is a bird afraid of falling? Now move your wings off to the side and do it."

"A-alright." I muttered and began clipping off the armor from my waist down. I pulled them off and tossed them to the side, careful not to throw them off the ledge. The cold night air breeze made me shudder slightly.

"There is no shuddering yet, it is about to get much, much colder." He hissed removing my helmet and exposing my neck. No matter how violent he was the next two hours, we did not moved for the cliff edge, but he did have it exactly how he wanted it.

By the end, I was laying on my back, head hanging off the edge of the cliff, eyes closed simply trying to catch my breath. He was hanging over me, hands on the ground keeping him upright as he watched me breathe. "Phoenix." He growled and I lifted my head to look up at him. "There will be no other, than you."

Smiling lightly, I nodded and reached up touching his helmet. I leaned up and kissed the skull of his mask. "There will be no other, than you." I echoed and rest back down. I watched him move back then lay on his back on the ground. Curious, I sat up slowly and watching him, normally we would have finished off the night but he ended it. Why?

Maybe I should make a move.

Smiling to myself I crawled over top of him and breathed out his name, getting his attention.

His hands reached up and touched my shoulders, stopping me, "no more, Phoenix. This was enough." He then moved me off of him and I kneeled at his side, watching him with a slight frown.

"Enough? This is unlike you, are you alright?" I asked softly and he nodded, but as I looked over his body, I knew he was lying. "Something is wrong, what is it?"

"You truly want to know?" He asked in a low voice.

"Yes, of course, I wish to help." I said in a worried tone.

"Your wings, since you've regained full ability of them once again, have focused solar energy around you."

I looked at my wings and quickly folded them up on my back. Standing, I moved away from him towards my armor, then began putting them on. "How does my wings effect you? I thought you rapidly regenerate?"

"I do. However, you are unaware of the amount of solar energy you are radiating. To someone like me it is exhausting. I am not injured, I am merely tired. I assumed since it was night it would effect me as much since there is much more darkness. However, your wings, spread collected what light there was reflected off the moon. You are quite powerful, bird." He said and I slipped my helmet, then turned my head to stare at him quite shocked. "I just need a few minutes alone, I will be alright, do not worry."

"Yes, alright." I bowed my head and quickly flew off. I landed at the entrance of the lab and paused looking back at the ridgeline. With a slight frown, I entered in, found a perch and sat down.
