Overwatch (MercyKill) Mercy X Reaper

4

Angela POV

He was comforting for being so mean.

His embrace made me come back to reality,back to the alleyway,back to looking at the dead body on the floor. A man I killed.

"Reyes." I said as I looked up.

"I know about your parents." He says. He knew. He knew why I broke down. He knew that I looked up to overwatch. He knows I'm still unstable even looking at a gun. And yet that comforts me. For all I know everyone could know about my parents. But hearing the words was like a huge weight being lifted off my shoulders.

"I'm sorry." He says holding me a bit tighter. I was ok with him knowing,Lúcio does even know about that day. But how does he know?

"How?" I ask. I can feel his heartbeat on my back. I didn't realize how close he was to me until I felt that heartbeat.

"Morrison and I were discussing abut you becoming a member. I was looking through files,when I saw a mission report from Switzerland of a little girl with the same name,I knew it was you." He explains.

"It said that a little girl was found lying next to her dead parents crying,when Ana found you." I suck in a deep breath,my tears have stopped a bit.

"Why have you been such a jerk to me?" I say. I feel him take a deep breath.

"I still think you're too young to be on the field. Seeing this after seeing your parents killed." He says,his embrace a bit more loose.

"I didn't want you here. I wanted you to leave and never look back. Go have a better life instead of one full of bad memories." He says.

My heart was beating faster,he was only trying to let me have a better life. His words were full of sorrow,but he wasn't crying,you couldn't even tell that he was sad. His stern face blocked out inside emotions.

"I'm sorry." He says. He shouldn't be sorry I should be thanking him,telling him over and over again that I'm sorry. But I can't talk. Every word coming from his mouth makes me speechless.

He lets me go and stands up,his warmth no longer with me as cold comes back to me.

I stand up as well and look up at him as he looks down at me. I pull him in for a hug,compared to him I'm like a twig,hugging a bear.

He does move for a few seconds which makes me nervous. Did I make a mistake hugging him? When suddenly I feel his arms wrap around me.

"Thank you." I say letting go. I look up at him again and smile,his sip mile filled me with more warmth than his embrace did.

"Let's head back." He says handing me my gun.

"I'll fix up your arm back at the medical bay." I say taking the gun and walking behind him. He looks down at his arm,it's almost like he forgot about it.

"Hmm,I don't feel it any more." He says shrugging.

"That could be bad." I say chuckling a bit. He smirks as he looks down at me as we continue walking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been a few days after that mission,Reyes still acts like a jerk to me,but on the battlefield he is a totally different person.

I guess he's just trying to keep his reputation as the edge lord while still being nice. I play along with it,just so no one gets suspicious.

Lúcio and I were hanging out at the med bay.

"So,you won't believe what Kim did on yesterday's episode of keeping up with the Kardashians." Lúcio trails off,but I mostly ignore him as I think about Reyes.

He's a real gentleman towards me,I guess since that mission I can really get to know Reyes.

I have like a huge crush on him,but I can't just say that. He's so cool and edgy,he's way out of my league. Plus he's super tall compared to me. I'm still a bit ticked off abut the whole prostitute the thing but,c'mon I have to forgive him.

"And then she threw her wig into the pool!" Lúcio's laugh snaps me back into reality. "So Angie,what are you gonna do for your birthday?" He asks.

Oh right,it's in 3 days but be honest I stopped caring about my birthday along time ago. Just didn't care after my 12th,all the magic from the day didn't really matter to me. Eventually I stopped getting dolls and got money. Then no more parties and I didn't really care anymore.

"Oh,just be happy?" I say shrugging.

"Honey,you can't be serious." He says sighing.

"Lúcio,I'm serious,I just want to hang out." I say looking at him. He looks at me like I'm crazy.

"Girl,we're throwing you a party." He says getting up. I grabs his wrist and pull him back in his chair.

"Lúcio,listen to me. I don't care about my birthday. I'm not being an attention grabber,I just don't care about it anymore." I say spinning around in my chair again.

"How can you not care about your birthday?" He says huffing. Sometimes Lúcio drives me crazy,in a good way.

"Lúcio,I'm turning 20,I don't need a party. I'm not 7." I say as Lúcio sighs again.

"Girl,trust me. Every birthday girl needs a birthday party." He says.

"Lúcio I'm fine,you can just give me a candle to blow out." I say. He raises his eye brow,oh I swear I can't fight him anymore.

"Alright,I'll just give you a candle." He says.

"Lúcio you-" I freeze. "wait what?" I say surprised. He isn't fighting anymore?

"Yeah,I'll just get you a candle." He says grinning.

"What are you planning Lúcio?" I say. He gets up and walks away.

"I'll just get you a candle." He says grinning one last time before fully exciting the med bay. Oh no,this isn't going to be just a candle.

----------------------------

Alright,chapter 4 complete. This one is actually a lot longer than the other ones,which I'm happy about.

The beginning of the chapter was really full of the feels,but now,what is Lúcio going to do for Angela on her birthday? I'm pretty sure it's going to be more than a candle.

Also,thank you guys for reading!
