Epilogue
After the returning the Avengers back to their home world, Thomas had decided to stay. Staying true to his word, he had helped Overwatch back to their former glory. During that time, him and Angela grew close. They eventually married and had a son. His name was Steve Anthony Greene-Ziegler. During those times, tragedy struck.
On a routine scouting mission, Thomas was killed by Widowmaker. Everyone of Overwatch mourned the death of Thomas 'Sparky' Greene. He left behind a son, and a loving wife.
-3rd POV-
"Mom!" an older boy, no older than 26, walked around the old base in Gibraltar. Steve knew his mother was here. Whenever she was gone, he had always found her here. Steve walked to the Hall of Honor and found his mother, Angela Greene-Ziegler, sitting on the ground holding a picture of his father. "There you are, there are times I forget that you do come here." Steve said walking over to his mother and kneeling next to her.
She jolted awake and blinked the sleep out of her eyes. She looked at her son and smiled. "I'm sorry Steve if I scared you." She said apologizing. He chuckled and kissed her forehead. "It's ok, I understand mother. I miss him too." He replied. He then sat next to her and looked at the picture of his deceased father.
"Not a day goes by that I miss him." Steve said. He put his head on his mother's shoulder and smiled. "I do to." She said and placed her head on his. She then remembered something in their old room. She got up and placed the picture back on the wall and kissed it. Steve, with a confused look, got up and walked with his mother.
They headed off to the dorms and passed other recruits. "Hello Miss Ziegler, Mr. Greene." The recruits said as they saluted them. They smiled and nodded at them. They walked until Angela stopped in front of her old room. The one her and Thomas had when he came to their world. She sighed and opened the door.
A gust of dirt blew past. The room was left as it always had been. She smiled and reminisced on old memories of this place. She walked over and looked under the bed.
"Mom, what are you looking for?" Steve asked. She grabbed a backpack and stood up. "This my son." She said holding the backpack and gave it to her son. "What is it?" He asked.
"You're father's armor." She said with a smile. Steve looked at it and looked at his mother. "Are you sure?" He asked as he slipped it on. "Yes, I almost forgot about it." She said with a smile. As he placed the backpack on, it spiraled around him as it creaked.
-Steve's POV-
As the rest of the armor spiraled around me, I looked and saw the HUD light up and a voice sounded. "Hey boss, wait, who are you?" A voice said. "Hello Dan." Angela said with a smile. "Dr. Ziegler, is that you? What happened to Thomas?" He asked. "Yes, it is me Dan, but Thomas, he's passed on." She said with a sad smile.
"Oh, I-I'm sorry." The old A.I. said. "I take it, you're his kid?" Dan asked me. "Yes, my name's Steve Anthony Greene-Ziegler. It's nice to meet you Dan." I replied. "Yeah, you too." He said with a sad voice. "I'm sorry, I guess you two were close." I said. "Yeah, you're father, the nutcase." Dan said chuckling. "Yeah, that I can see." I said with a smile.
"So, Dr. Ziegler, I am glad you are still in good health and stunning as ever." Dan said. My mother chuckled and smiled. "Thank you Dan. But, I want you to know that you are going to be Steve's A.I. I am giving the suit to him, as per order." She said. I looked at her. "What?" Me and Dan said in unison. She walked over and gave me a note. I opened it and gasped.
Dear Steve,
If you are getting this note, then that means you have found my old armor. It also pains me to know that I am dead. I am sorry, I wish I was there to see you in that armor. Just know, that I love you. I also give you the mission in protecting your mother from doing anything crazy. I love you from the bottom of my heart my son. I, also allow you to have my A.I. Dan, he maybe stubborn, but he's a good guy. Goodbye, and consider this a birthday gift. I love you.
Your Father, Thomas Greene.
The face plate was open. I saw a wet mark hit the paper as I cried. My mother walked over and put an arm around my back and hugged me. "He truly did love you Steve." She said with a smile. I wiped the tears away and smiled.
"I know, I just hope I can make him proud." I said. She looked at me. "You already have." She said.
