-----------------------------
It had been a couple of years since Mercy had left Overwatch when they had left her to fend for herself during an attack on base.
Mercy and Moira were still on the run as usual. They had decided to settle in a hidden base for a little before going on the run again.
Mercy wanted to chill and watch TV to pass time since there were no experiments to work on. Plus, Moira was busy doing her own thing so she couldn't bother her. She turns the TV on and it's set on the news channel. Mercy see's that Overwatch agents have been dying as she hasn't been there to help. She is still set as missing and people are still on the lookout for her.
News reporters were saying that Overwatch misses Mercy and hopes that she'll turn up soon. She felt vindictive after hearing those words. They missed her? She knew they were lying. They don't miss Mercy as a person, they miss all the medical work she would do for them. Without her and her constant advances in medical technology they were struggling to keep the team up and running.
The entire time she worked there she was embittered. No one would treat her fairly, they only talked to her when they needed something. She did everything for everyone but no one did anything for her. Moira came into the living room where Mercy was watching TV and noticed how menacingly she was watching the news. She then realized what was happening and quickly shut the tv off.
"Mercy dear could you dispose of this harmful chemical outside near the sewers? It's a painful chemical. If it comes in contact with your skin it'll burn it off so be careful." Moira walks towards the angel devil handing her a closed bottle with some purple substance inside.
Mercy shakes her head.
"Ah okay, i'll be back in a little then." Mercy gets up and heads to the door, before she leaves Moira gets one more word in.
"Take your time, catch your breath and calm down." Moira gives Mercy a welcoming smile.
It's a dark cloudy night, about 11pm. Mercy walks in a back alley not wanting to make contact with anyone. She looks down and sees some flowers. Still having this anger inside of her she opens the bottle that Moira wanted her to dispose of and poured a little bit of it on the flowers.
She was fascinated at how fast the flowers withered away. Moira was very talented. She closed up the bottle and kept walking. That is until she hears some fighting coming from one of the allies. Although Mercy had become a weird mixture of an angel and devil there was still good inside of her. She still wanted to help the world. She was very confused with her feelings. To be good or bad, she constantly thought to herself.
Her wings lit up and she started walking towards the noise. She felt trepidation. She was worried an innocent human being was being hurt by someone evil. She didn't feel like flying so she ran and ran her wings lighting the way.
She finally gets to where all the noise is coming from. She couldn't see very well, even with the light shining from her wings. All she saw was a figure on top of another figure.
In desperation, she opened the bottle and threw the substance on the figure that was on top of the other. The figure immediately topples off the other and screams in pain. She rushes to the figure that was on the ground and grabs the figure's hand. It felt robotic, was this an omnic?
She rushes them to a better lighted area. They finally arrive at an area with a lamppost. She hears a soft robotic voice call her name.
"Angela..?" She quickly looks back in horror.
It was her old co-worker Genji, who also happened to be her past lover. She had saved him years ago and built him a robotic body. He is still alive because of her.
"Angela what.. what happened to you?"
The two hadn't seen each other for years and he had never seen what Mercy had become today.
Mercy just stared at him with a look of desperation. She didn't know what to say or what to do. Genji tries to cup Mercy's face but she slaps him away. They stare at each other for a couple of minutes.
"How did you know it was me, Genji?" Mercy's voice was a little soft and shaky.
"There's no one else in the world who has wings like yours. They certainly look very different but I could still recognize them no matter what changes. Please tell me, what happened to you?" His voice is cracky but it has a tone of love and concern.
This confused Mercy. She felt angry but she also felt relief. This scared her though.
"Why didn't you come back.." Mercy started.
"Why didn't you help me!" She started to raise her voice.
"I.." Genji was at a loss for words.
"Angela I'm sorry. I did attempt to go back for you but I was held up by people who were begging for help. As soon as I finished my business with the people I immediately went back to get you but you were gone. I heard what happened with you and Ana. Angela, why are you with Moira? This isn't you. This isn't the Angela I fell in love with-"
"Shut it! You don't know me! You don't know who I am and you don't love me! Your full of lies!"
Mercy truly loved Genji but ever since the incident she felt those feelings fade. She was much happier with Moira.
Mercy turned around and attempted to run into the allies to get back home to Moira. Genji grabbed her hand.
"Angela please! All I wanted was you! You're my reason to keep living, these last years without you have been horrible. We need you back Angela." Mercy ripped her hand out of Genji's hand and turned to look him in the face. She was furious. Tears ran down her cheeks.
"We?! So you just want me back so I can return to Overwatch and be treated like crap while doing all the work for everyone! Is that why you said we? You don't want me for me you want me for my work!" She yelled.
"Angela please." His voice softened.
"You know that's not what I meant. We don't need you back, I need you back."
Mercy felt her heart throb. She looked him in the eyes softly.
"I don't need you Genji. Not anymore" She smiled at him then ran down the alley. Genji watched her bright wings slowly fade away.
