(Angela pov)

It has been a long time since Genji left Overwatch. Like I suspected, the government were not happy with me, I received a heavy warning and have had some of my privileges taken from me.

Jack and the others tried to defend me but... if course it's Jack's Job as commander to keep us in check so he took their side to keep his status. I guess that matters to him more than our friendship....

Gabriel has been acting strange as well, he seems to be distancing himself from us. I'm sure he has his reasons, blackwatch is a hard line of stressful and dangerous work.

Yesterday everything seemed different as Gabriel and Jesse had a big fight about something, I wasn't sure what about but I haven't seen Jesse in the base since he stormed off.

Then later that night Jack and Gabriel argued as well they seems to be eyeballing about the same things. Gabe thinks Jack is taking too much credit and being greedy whereas Jack thinks Gabe isn't doing enough work.

I've kept my distance from them as everyone seems tense.... oh I don't know what's gotten into everyone, Even I feel different.. I may not be sick now but I can tell somethings changed.... but what?...

............. today I headed down the stairs to deliver my usual papers to Jack for his new missions. Everything seemed calm and as it should be. Jack greeted me with a small smile as I entered, I was not sure if it was forced or not.

But Jack seemed worried as if something terrible had happened.
"What happened Jack?" I said confused.

Jack turned to me slowly before speaking in a frustrated tone.
"We have a traitor Angela, some one led enemy agents right into our base!"
He seemed overly worried as I stood there feeling scared. Who betrayed us? And why? At that moment I knew all too well who it was... jacks face said it all... Gabriel.

I felt a drop in my heart as Gabe was our close friend and we had always trusted him. Jack clenched his fists tightly as he stormed out of the room with his gun ready to engage.

The sirens yelled loudly through out the base as intruders where breaching the main base. Everything became a war zone as gun fire lit up every room like a blazing fire. Bodies began to drop and I had to rush to help as many as I could...

I remember hearing Jack's shouting as he confronted Gabe. They were a distance away from me and I couldn't hear their conversation over the screams and gun fire.

I remember it like a dream but more like a nightmare as I saw a sudden flash of light and an explosion erupted from behind them. My weak eyes were blinded by the Overpowering light....

I woke choking as the smoke filled my lungs, I rushed to my feet and felt a sudden rush of pain through my body as I was heavily injured. My blood dripped from he head, it felt warm on my face as I frantically looked around.
The base was completely destroyed. Bodies were buried under the rubble, crushed and forgotten. Talon soldiers and Overwatch members left dead by my feet.

I was only able to survive because of my healing... It was more like a curse to me than a gift... I couldn't die even if I wanted to.

I glanced around in shock as I stared in the direction of where I last saw Jack and Gabe. There was nothing but rubble and burning fire. I rushed over climbing my way over broken walks and pieces of Sharp broken metal.

"Gabe!... Jack!" My voice was faint and weak, My heart raced as I searched for Jack and Gabe. I Pulled up some heavy rubble as I spotted a warm golden glow. It was jacks soul!

Only I could see it as my powers allowed me to see everyone's souls and if I could see jacks then.... he was dead!

I frantically pulls the rubble from his body, his body was wounded survey as I looked down at it. I brushed the dirt from his weak face as I felt my sad tears run down my cut face.

"...Jack..." I sighed weakly, I had to help him I couldn't let him die like this. I raised my hand to his body and felt my soul connect to his. I lifted his soul quickly quickly to up to raise him back. I felt my powers surge as Jack suddenly breathed, I suddenly felt his heart beat again.

I sighed in relief as I had managed to save Jack. My friend. I wiped my tears and suddenly felt another soul. I turned to see Gabriel's body.

I stared down worried as his body wasn't in good condition. He suffered badly from the explosion and he was missing vital body parts.

"Gabe!.. no...Oh... no" I felt my tears build up again is I pulled all my strength into healing his damaged body.

I reached frantically down to find a battered soul, it was almost gone. I felt my soul connect to his as I channeled my powers into resurrecting him. My body felt overly weak as I lifted his soul up with the last of my energy.

I remember feeling The soul slip from my hands. My dazzled eyes widened in confusion as this had never happened before. Gabriel's golden soul faded Into a deep black mist, I felt it glide between my fingers and drop slowly back into his wounded body.

I looked down scared to my hand before checking Gabriel's body. He seemed to be breathing.... I sighed as he was alive... I did it?....

From behind me I heard Jack's voice as he chocked on the dusty air in his lungs. I turned quickly to him and sat by his side still feeling weak.

He gazed up at me with shocked blue eyes, he rubbed his head as he tried to sit up. He was still badly wounded. He felt the blood from a slash across his face.

"...Angela?.. what..happened?" He seemed dazed and in pain. I leant down to him and explained. Jack searched around with his eyes seeing the destruction and devastation around him.

"Where... where's Gabe?" Jack asked with a weak and damaged voice.

I turned back to where Gabes body was but he was gone. I looked around suddenly but he was no where in sight.

"He was right there! Gabe?.. his body has gone!" I said worried.

"It's ol Doc leave him... I need to get out of here... you need to say I'm dead ok?" His voice was stern and sad as he looked up at me.

I cared more as I didn't want Jack to leave. "Ok... Jack... I will say you died, but where will you go?" I asked still crying next to him.

"Angela... it's ok I don't want you to worry for me" jack said as he slowly got to his feet. He felt the pain in his body grown.

I stood to help him up in case he fell. I held his arm to pull him up before letting him stand on his own. I felt warmth surround me as he hugged me. His arms held me tightly before he let go and rushed away from the destruction.

I watched him leave in the far distance, he disappeared into the smoke and rubble as I stood there feeling overly emotional. I wiped my tears away as I heard firemen rush over to assist me.

I was stormed by reporters and the public asking who did this? Was Overwatch bad? What happened to the commander? The questions rushed through me as I remained silent as I was under shock of it all.

The lights flashed around me as I sat in the back of and ambulance thinking to myself.... everyone is gone... it's just me left....

Overwatch is over..... maybe it's for the best.... they don't want us....
