Sorry this chapter took so long to come out, personal stuff. Thanks to the anonymous reviewer, kind of made me want to write more. I will try to publish more often than it has been so far. Hope you all enjoy this one! :D
Chapter 3:
We were about to hug until both of us realised my current clothing situation. I quickly rummaged through the wardrobe Lena was once standing by and pulled out a plain white shirt and some light blue slim fit jeans. I ran into the bathroom across the area and re-emerged 30 seconds later. I walked back over and we then hugged.
"Feels like forever since I last saw you." She pulled her head from my chest and looked me dead in the eye and put a delicate hand on my cheek. She continued. "You got so much taller! And just as handsome as thought I you would become," she said letting go and going back to stocking my wardrobe. I blushed even more than before and turned away, not wanting her to see my embarrassment.
"Wait. How do you know what size of clothes I am? These fit perfectly," I questioned, quite confused.
"It wouldn't be fun if you knew all of my secrets, would it?" she responded. I just shook my head and smirked. I know she wouldn't tell me anyway. I remembered that she was a tough nut.
"I'm going to greet the other agents, try to catch up with them," I called as I left the room.
"You go do that luv'! I heard her shout back. I walked casually along the corridors, actually taking in the surroundings this time. It did bring me back to when I was younger, all the times I walked through here as a trainee. I guessed I was an actual member of Overwatch now, since I was 16 rather than 13. I was 6'1 now, and it didn't look or feel like stopping anytime soon. I was reasonably well built for my age, but I had to since I was playing in the top tier of football, it would surely make things here easier.
As I progressed through the facility, I started to hear distant laughs. It wasn't hard to figure out who's they were, especially if you were with him for a lot of your childhood. I turned the final corner and my suspicions were proved correct. Reinhardt's laugh once again boomed through the corridors. All the other agents were there. I walked through the open double-doors. Lucio looked up from his steak and pointed at me.
"Ethan, my dude! Didn't expect to see you up already!" he shouted above the rest of the noise. They all quietened down as a result and looked in my direction. There was a general cheer, most of the agents taking part. Apart from Hana, who was engrossed in a game on her phone. They all got up and properly greeted me. It felt good to be back.
