Venice incident go brrrrrr.

Gabe was a bit sore from his last talk with Jack, and was ultimately heartbroken about losing his close-ish friendship with him. Jack used to be so different before, and now he can hardly tell who he was. Things were different now, and Gabe had to adapt to those changes. With his metaphorical black heart torn in two, Reyes was ready to make a drastic change to himself to pick up the pieces. Not just hair-dye or a nose piercing; that's child's play. We're talking genetic modifications.

"Ok, Gabriel. Being that I'm a decent enough doctor, I'm gonna have to ask what do you want to become with this experiment?" Moira asked as she gestured to an examination chair similar to a dentist's chair.

Gabe thought for a moment, what would be a cool ability to have? He was already a super soldier, just like Morrison, but what could amp up that? "I want my abilities to be stronger than they already are. Faster, too."

Moira wrote those words down in a notebook. "Anything else?"

"Will it be done in time for the Venice mission?"

She hummed in thought, "I'll try to make it work. Don't expect a miracle in a day."

This was simply the consultation, since Moira had to get the chemicals for what Reyes was asking for. He wasn't the only one requesting her aid either, for there are rare occasions where agents request her assistance in similar areas. All of it is hush-hush, unbeknownst to the common crowd. This gave the black in blackwatch a different meaning- and one befitting to Moira as she gets to expand her genetic research with willing participants. However, she left her laboratory door unlocked the day she was supposed to deliver her chemical orders. McCree and Genji were able to walk right in without any form of repercussions. They were looking for Reyes and figured he would be with Moira in the lab, but nay. Genji was the first to notice the test-tubes of genetically modified chemicals with two different labels to identify them: Super Extreme and Vape Cartridge. Jesse was brought into attention of these test-tubes by Genji's red contact lenses looking at them; and Jesse was recently relapsing from his unlabling addiction, which is exactly what it sounds like. Out of pure instinct, Jesse unlabeled the test tubes which made it 100 times harder to identify the differences between them.

"Oops, guess this is gonna make things harder to identify." McCree said casually.

"That's nothing-watch this." Genji then proceeded to fill up a bunch of test tubes with water and surrounded the chemical test tubes laying on the counter, switching around the tubes until it was unidentifiable as to what was a genetic altering chemical or what was just tap water.

"Those contact lenses changed you." McCree said as he looked down at what seemed to be a pile of filled test tubes.

The two left the lab unscathed by their actions, simply because no one ever liked Moira enough to feel guilty about pranking her. Unfortunately, Jesse and Genji were not just pranking Moria but their boss as well. Moira was able to waft her way into breaking down which chemicals were which, but she only broke it down to three test tubes. Using the eeny meeny miny moe method, she was able to deliver the chemical she promised to her agent customer and also distribute the other chemical into Reyes's bloodstream. However, the eeny meeny miny moe method is not a method that's recognized by the scientific community. And unfortunately, Moira gave Reyes the wrong gene enhancements and accidentally turned his cells into vape clouds. And, no, the vape clouds did not smell like cotton candy or mango or any wacky flavors that appeal to teens. It smelled like burnt wood and axe body spray. Gabe felt like he was rickrolled; to suddenly make a drastic change and have it blow up in his face was slightly expected by now considering his track-record but that didn't mean he couldn't be upset about it. It almost felt like he was a Sims character being locked inside a pool to drown. Anyways, he decided to incorporate the smoke as part of his aesthetic and trained just in time for the mission in Venice.
