Oh my god I can't believe that just happened. Lena was touching her lips slightly still dumbstruck of what just happened. She was making her way back to her room when she saw commander Morrison's office door cracked open with light escaping from the room. She didn't really pay any mind to it until she heard what sounded like arguing. She crept closer to the door to see what the commotion was all about.

"Jack he isn't ready, didn't you read any of the reports I forwarded to you?!" Angela was furiously yelling while holding her medical reports in her hand. "He's not mentally prepared for field work, he clearly is unstable and is showing clear signs of ptsd. Shutting himself off from everyone, avoiding eye contact with everyone. Jack what if he freezes up out there what then?!"

Jack seemed to let her yell on and on unfazed by her aggressive tone. "We can't keep him sheltered forever, Reyes finally came to that realization why can't you?"
"Because he has clear medical evidence of mental trauma!" Angela shouted back.

"Lena was peeking into the cracked door, studying who else was in there she saw Genji sitting in there too along with Winston

"I'm afraid I would have to disagree doctor." Genji interjected. "As of lately he seems to have become more, relaxed I guess is the best way of putting it. While he still seems to be understandably burdened with stress of his family's fate, he seems to be less depressed. Wouldn't you agree Ms. Oxton?" Everyone's eyes shot up before they saw Lena peering into the door.

"Oh sorry loves I was just passing through and heard some yelling, just making sure everything is ok and all." She was rubbing the back of her neck her face turning bright red.

"Well now this is no surprise." Winston started to chuckle. "Lena's flirtatious personality is no doubt the cause of that."

"If you don't mind me asking where are you coming from Ms. Oxton?" Genji asked as if he already knew the answer to the question.

"The landing pad." Lena was almost ashamed of how vulnerable she looked right now.

"Unbelievable, all of you." Angela stormed out of the door before turning to everyone in the room. "If anyone dies on this mission Jack their blood is on your hands!"

The shuttle was almost to it's landing zone, Reinhardt saw Chris starring in space still touching his cheek where Lena had kissed him. His leg bouncing nervously, Rein smiled and looked over at Jamison making sure his explosives were all in order

"Ah what a glorious time to be alive!" Rein said breaking the silence. The two looked up at the German. "Two promising agents on the field for the first time. Allow me to be your shield and we shall conquer our objective in no time at all!" Rein said standing up holding his rocket hammer

Chris just smiled and shook his head pulling up the schematic to the factory.

"It looks these 4 beams will be the best spots to plant the explosives. It looks like they are pretty deep in the factory. We'll plant the C4 at the base of the beams on the bottom level of the factory."

"What about the tin cans in the place mate, aren't they gonna light us up as soon as we get inside?" Jamison asked placing his grenades on his belt.

"It appears most of the units are not online yet, but we should still is caution entering.

Both Jamison and Rein nodded in agreement.

"All right guys this where you get off" The pilot said over the intercom. All three jumped off and made their way to the factory.

"We need to get this done as fast as possible. We'll split up to plant the explosives at these three pillars then we'll meet up at the forth and we'll be out of here before the night is over." Chris seemed to assume control of the mission neither of the other 2 seemed to mind. Each one got a set of explosives and set out for their destinations.

Rein had the easiest one to do since stealth wasn't in his repertoire. Jamison and Chris, on the other hand had the tougher ones. Chris was making his way down a dark hall when he noticed lights starting to peer around the corner. "Fuck." Chris looked to see a couple of boxes and leaped behind them. These weren't omnics walking by. They were humans. What the fuck. This doesn't make any sense.

"Mates we got problems here." Jamison said over the intercom.

"Whats is it?"

"Talon" Rein interjected as well. "I'm at the position of the forth pillar and there seems to be a meeting going on here. Waiting for you guys to group with me." Rein said.

"I'll be there in a jiff mate." Jamison said.

"Copy that, I'll be there momentarily." Chris said

.This isn't good, if Talon is somehow teaming up with Null Sector, we are gonna have much bigger problems on our hands. Chris thought to himself before he finished planting his explosive.

"Alright guys I'm on my way to the rendezvous point.

"Rein, Jamison come in"

-static-

"Fuck they're jamming comms.

Chris sprinted and the worst came to realization as he felt the building rumble and heard gunfire down the So much for stealth./em He came around to see Rein shielding Jamison on the lower level from a rain of gunfire from Talon operatives. Jamison was lobbing grenades from time to time as that was the only form of firepower at the time.

Shit. Shit. Shit. He saw a couple of Talon mercs come up from the lower levels and started firing at him as he took cover around the corner.

He took out both is sidearms poking shots when he could and still taking cover from the spray of bullets. emWe aren't getting anywhere here/em. Chris looked around seeing a support beam that was holding his platform up. emIt might work but it's going to be risky./em He holstered both weapons and sprinted full force at the operatives he swept on of the legs and stabbed him the neck as he fell with his blades holding the body up as a shield as the others fired at him. He tossed the meat shield aside as he quickly disarmed the others kicking one off the ledge and stabbing the other one in the gut before kicking him back too.

He waved at Jamison from above pointing to the support beam he spotted earlier. Jamison nodded and chucked one of his last grenades close to beam. Chris whipped out his sidearm in a very "McCree" like fashion and lined up his shot and shot the grenade as he jumped off the platform causing the grenade to destroy the beam as the platform swung down taking out a big chunk of the Talon force.

Chris landed on some boxes as both Rein and Jamison helped him up

"Quick thinking mate, lets plant this last bomb and blow this joint sky high." Chris ran over to the last support beam planting the explosive.

"Alright, lets get out of here before anyone" -POW-

A sniper shot cracked through the air piercing Chris' shoulder/p
p style="text-align: left;""Ah fuck!" Rein put his shield up immediately shielding the other two as Jamison helped Chris to his feet. "Rgggh, we have to get outside to call for our ride they're still jamming it in here." Chris grunted in pain.

The three made their way through to the roof of the factory still weary of the sniper that was still lurking about.

"This is Reinhardt we need extraction ASAP!

Chris was becoming pale from the blood loss in his shoulder

"Hurry we have one bleeding out" Rein yelled into the comms.

Just as he yelled a transport pulled up

"Common let's go!" Rein picked Chris up and threw him in the shuttle. Jamison was quick behind and Rein threw his shield up blocking a couple more gunshots from hitting his comrades. They were away from the building when Jamison pulled the trigger causing the factory to implode in the distance.

Rein was doing what he could to stop the bleeding. Chris was losing conciseness fast. He reached up and grabbed Rein with his other hand.

"Tell..tell Lena..I'm..I'm sorry.." He exhaled a breath before passing out.

"Pilot step on it! Inform Morrison of our situation."
