Borrowed Time (BrigittexMaleReader)

Chapter 13 - Repressed Memories

Brigitte and I walk the streets of my home one last time, It will be a while before I come back here. So many good memories of my family, short lived but good nonetheless, It was only a matter of time until we came across the memorial. I looked at Brigitte forcing a smirk as she looked back gripping my arm ever so slightly tighter, It was comforting to have her here by my side but she didn't have to come with me.

Y/N: "I'm glad you're here but you didn't have to be"

Brigitte: "I wanted to be here for you, be that someone to make sure you aren't lonely"

Y/N: "I'm not that lonely am I?"

Brigitte: "More than you know"

As we walked through, grave by grave the memories were coming back to me. Ones where we were smiling and the ones of their final moments, until I came upon their resting place as I began to bite my lip and clenching my fists. There was only so much I could say and do, Brigitte stood behind me as I knelt on the the ground planting a bundle of flowers we had picked up yesterday, I just began to vent what was on my mind.

Y/N: "Hey mum and dad, hope you guys are doing well... wherever you guys are now. I just came to say your baby boy is doing well... I'm an Overwatch agent now, like dad was back in the day, with the help of Brigitte of course. I know you always tried to push me away from it because of the whole thing you guys went through with the government but this time feels different, like the world needs us, more than ever. I'm sure dad would agree with me, especially if he were alive, he could've seen the crew all together again and how happy they are to be back"

Brigitte: "Not only that but you've pulled me away from edge multiple times, you were made for this and I'm sure they know looking down from up there that I'm in good hands"

I turn around to see her chuckling to herself and wearing a comforting smile, I shoot one back at her and began laughing myself.

Y/N: "She's right, I've done so much since you guys have been gone, living my life to the fullest and keeping her away from harm to the best of my abilities like you guys would've wanted. Also may have busted the Z-Drive dad, sorry about that one"

I get up off my knees and turn to Brigitte as she yawns

Y/N: "Tired already?"

Brigitte: "I usually like to sleep in, also different time zones throwing me off"

Y/N: "Its nostalgic"

Brigitte: "I see why you like the place though, from its views to its people"

Y/N: "We can come back again, after saving the world okay?"

Brigitte: "The world cant wait huh?"

I look at her and chuckle while patting her on the shoulder, walking out of the memorial there was a cold breeze that blew through, chilling but refreshing, like getting all that out was a new start. However, something was off, there was no one around although when we entered the streets were full of people.

Y/N: "Somethings off Brigitte"

Brigitte: "Like what?"

Y/N: "I don't know, but the streets aren't usually this empty"

Brigitte: "Now that you mention it, that's a bit odd"

Y/N: "You have any weapons with you?"

Brigitte looked at me confused and questioned

Brigitte: "I've got the gauntlet within my bracelet... why?"
