Pharmercy Overwatch - Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland

Christmas was nearing and Zürich made sure everyone knew. Christmas lights were lighting up every street you walked in, with Christmas trees standing on every square. Some of the bigger squares even had Christmas markets on them, as people gathered around the little stores and stands.

It had been a while since Angela had seen the city at all, let alone at this time of year. After Gibraltar went under construction, all agents were asked to move to the new watchpoint in Zürich. The one that was destroyed many years ago, now rebuilt and looking better than ever. Maybe because Overwatch was better than ever, with Winston being their new leader.

Outside the window of the lab she could see the city coated in a nice white blanket. Snow was still falling, but not at a rapid pace, which created a beautiful scenery. Dr. Ziegler had been working all day on a pile of paperwork, which she had finally finished. Now she was just looking out of the window as the sun was gone, making the Christmas lights stand out even more. With a cup of coffee she sat down near the window, wishing she could just walk out. Not like she couldn't, but she didn't want to go alone.

It would be lonely to walk through those happy streets, filled with people laughing and talking. No one to talk or grab a drink with.

A knock on her door brought her back from her thoughts, her beverage no longer steaming. Before she could even answer, the door flew open, followed by a flash of blue light. "Oi Doc!" Lena suddenly stopped in her track noticing Angela was still wearing her lab coat. "Oh sorry, I forgot ye were still working!"

Angela smiled as she stood up from her chair, leaving the drink on her desk. "It's fine Lena, I've finished my work. Why are you here? I thought you were going out today." The thought of Lena and Fareeha going out to see the city was a bit sad, since she had been wanting to do the same. She thought her paperwork would take longer so declined the offer, which she regretted now.

"Well as you know, Fareeha and I were going to explore the city..." Angela nodded at that as she obviously remembered. "But my chronal accelerator has been acting up, so I need to get it fixed." The doctor's eyes immediately traveled from Lena's face to the device around her torso. The light was indeed flickering weirdly and it had some scratch marks from the past couple months.

It would be irresponsible for Lena to go outside without her device as it might cause her to vanish again. Something Angela would rather not go through again as it had left her crying for days last time. Lena was the recruit she had seen growing up, her first mission, Angela was their to assist her. Their friendship had built up after that first mission.

Still she didn't know why Lena felt the need to tell her all this. "And you came to me because..?"

A smug smile appeared on the younger woman's face, making Angela raise an eyebrow. "Because I was wondering if you still wanted to go with Fareeha. She still doesn't know why I'm late." She wiggled her eyebrows, which made Angela catch up on what she was going for.

Lena has been teasing Angela over her crush on Fareeha for weeks now. Each time Angela wondered why she had told Lena about her crush as she started to regret it more and more. Normally when Lena tried to set them up, she succeeded. Angela had no way around them, either Fareeha was right there or Lena new the doctor's scheduled too good. Today's plans though, were rejected as Angela really did had work, but she was done earlier than expected.

There was no reason for her to say no, she was the one longing to go outside minutes ago after all. The other reason, was just Fareeha herself. The thought of her and Fareeha walking through Zürich in its Christmas glory caused her to smile. "Tell her I'll be there in a minute or five."

"You got it!" Lena said cheerfully before zipping back out of the room. Angela was about to take of her coat before she heard Lena zip back to the door. "I'll make sure to tell her she has a date." And with that and a wink she left Angela flushed.
