BOOM.
SCREAMS.
PAIN…
These sounds, feelings, they weren’t new to battle, nor were they unfamiliar to this old doctors heart. Angela Ziegler felt the concussive blasts of nearby plasma grenades ring in her ears. She quickly flew over to a soldier, her beams bright light seeping into the wounded man’s body.
His muscles tightened and then relaxed as her healing rays enveloped his whole body… being… soul.
He smiled brightly as he was suddenly filled with new energy and hope, he smirked at the doctor as he held up his rifle. “Thanks Doc!” He said cheerfully, instantly bounding into battle once more.
Angela watched the man go, standing behind cover with her staff in hand. There did she realize, that this man will be hurt again in a matter of moments. And that she would need to come and rescue him again….
And again…
Angela clutched the staff in her hand, her eyes wandering over the battle field. Yes, This repetitive cycle wasn’t new to her. Soldier 76 was leading the team, holding command of several Overwatch recruits to combat a large force of Talon soldiers attacking the Nepal temple. All dressed in Black and commanded by their very own skilled warrior.
Angela’s grip tightened once more as she looked at the large form of Reaper streak through the battle field. Easily diving around soldiers in a burst of black mist and then reappearing only an inch away. It was like he was a real ghost. Soldier 76 pushed past staggering recruits as he took on Reaper by himself, head on.
The two experienced soldiers danced around each other, alnost like it was a Waltz that only they knew. Soldier 76 firing shots into the already dissipated form of Reaper while Reaper’s shotgun blasts missed Jack’s war torn form just by a few inches. All of this while their lower ranked soldiers tussled around them. Mercy bit her lip as flashes of older days, the much more golden days played like a film reel over the scene in front of her. Reaper and Soldier 76 replaced with their counterparts, Gabriel Reyes and Jack Morrison. Their dances with each other not full of malice or anger, but cooperation and trust. Where their guns weren’t aimed at each other but at the enemies around them. Yes, Angela was stunned, this was the first mission she had went on for years. The first mission where Gab-no… Reaper had shown up, surrounded by his TALON comrades.
She didn’t believe it until she saw the truth disappearing and reappearing in front of her. She didn’t believe this ugly truth until it reared its ugly head, wearing a black hood and a white mask. No… she didn’t believe it at all.
There had to be good in him, there had to be a reason why he was like this. Even if Jack… Soldier 76 insisted that he was a traitor and couldn’t be trusted. There had to be a reason why Gabriel became so corrupted and twisted.
“ ANGELA. What are YOU DOING?!”
Mercy blinked out of her shocked state as she refocused. The roar and screams of battle forcing themselves back into her skull. She staggered on her feet as the familiar voice urgently screamed in her ear again.
“Angela! Go Help out! What are you doing just STANDING THERE?!”
“Ana, oh god I’m sorry!”
Mercy felt herself shake as she looked back up at the battle before her. She flew over to the closest teammate and began healing and saving whatever soldier she could. Snow crunched under her heels and small bits of snowflakes gently melted at the touch of her skin. It was so high up; Angela could feel her lungs heave at the pressure of the air. The sign of an incoming storm evidently clear on the sky above the fearsome battle below. Angela dodged more gun fire as she began to heal an almost mortally wounded soldier. Talon had been targeting, important omnic figure heads, and ever since the death of Tekhartha Mondatta, the Nepal temple was suspected as the next prime target. Luckily the newly recalled Overwatch stayed close just in case and now the simple guarding mission turned into a full on war. And honestly she had only come with the ground team to meet up with Genji and his master. Their repeated letters back and forth had her curious of how the young man was doing. Especially with the fact that he now seemed like he was at peace with himself…
She wasn’t even supposed to be on this mission… but now here she was. Stuck in the middle of a firefight, that started so conveniently while she was here. However it did not stop her from helping however she could, she became the ground medic instantly with Ana helping however she could from a nearby tower. Mercy flew over to a soldier covered by a fallen over pillar situated near a sheer cliff edge. His back was slumped as she tended to his most serious wounds. She could feel the rush of wind on her back while pointing her beams rays onto the soldier in front of her.
She was finally able to stabilize him, and not long after she watched the soldier return to battle. Another quick ‘Thanks Doc’ as she watched his retreating back. However before she could return to the fight she heard a loud cry of pain and then a black form slide in the snow just to the right of her. Angela blinked as she looked at the slowly rising form of none other but Reaper. She gasped, nearly falling back as a blanche white mask lifted itself to look over at her. She froze as her gaze met his, her heart practically stopping as he looked up at her.
“G-Gabriel…?” She said gently, her eyes softened for a moment while feeling her hand shake with anticipation. He seemed to look deep into her before they both turned at a shout.
“TAKE THIS YOU REAPER BASTARD.”
“WAIT YOU IDIOT-“
Angela eyes looked to the form of a young soldier, a grenade leaving his finger tips as Soldier 76 pulled back on his opposite forearm. However it was too late and it was only seconds later that the grenade rolled in between Reaper and her. Angela gasped as she stumbled back, nearly falling over.
Reaper immediately got up as a loud shot rang through the air.
“ANGELA NO!”
Seconds seemed to expand to minutes as Mercy saw a black form crash towards her, white blinding light, also followed by a deafening BOOM crashed through her skull.
All she could process was a bright… white light… and the feeling of air through her wings…
Falling… and then BLACKNESS…
