Why Does a Spider Kill?

Chapter 8

"Lena! Hurry up we have to get going." Yelled Amelie from the bottom of the stairs.

It had been 2 weeks since they had found Lena and everything seemed to be going great. She and Amelie had been able to get all their possessions back but they still had to move to a new location. It was a nice little house just outside of King's row. Amelie decided she wanted to be close to Lena at all times so she decided to take up a part time job with Overwatch. It was mostly just helping out with random jobs in the building, either helping set up the training room or help Mercy in the medical bay.

It was good.

They were going to a Mondatta rally that was happening actually in Kings Row at the moment. Amelie knew that Lena loved him and saw him as an inspirational figure so she thought it might be nice for them to go before Lena had to go back on her first official mission.

"I'm here. How do I look?" She said from the top of the stairs. She had decided that she didn't really want that much attention on her so she had decided to switch up her look and just go with a plain red flannel shirt with brown trousers. She wanted to cover her chronal accelerator, it would make too many people notice her and she just wanted Amelie to be the only one looking at her.

"You always look beautiful no matter what you wear." She said sneaking her a quick kiss on the cheek. She was kind of glad that Lena was out of uniform, without her goggles they showed of her eyes which in Amelie's opinion was one of the best parts of her face. They were so lively but they were so welcoming and warm. She could look at them for hours.

"Aww thanks Luv." She blushed and grabbed Amelie by the hand practically dragging her out of the house.

They arrived at the event and it was packed. Everyone was there. Humans and Omnics walking together freely some even looked like they were couples. There was still some protestors screaming that they should be scrapped as well as he humans who supported them but it seemed that they were being kept back quite well.

"Come on Ame. He's already started." She said pulling Amelie into the crowd hoping that she would be able to get a good viewing point.

She sighed it seemed that every time she would try and get closer someone would block her out. Amelie not wanting to see her wife sad pulled out her grappling hook and grabbed Lena by the waist.

"What are you doing?" She asked putting her hands on her hips, making a pouty face.

"Hold on." Amelie replied firing her hook and pulling them up onto a roof. Lena held to her and screamed as they were pulled up into the air. No one heard her as the crowd was busy screaming for the omnic peace hero.

"You gave me a heart attack you imbecile." She said doing her best fake sounding French accent while proceeding to laugh it off. Amelie laughed at her adorable, dorky wife. They looked down and they had a perfect view of everything. They could see Mondatta without having to get through the others.

"Let's sit." Luckily Amelie had foreseen herself having to do something like this so she pulled a spare blanket she had brought with her and laid it out like they were having picnic. It was a nice roof, it had various potted plants of different colours and you could see everything form up there so it was a good enough place to enjoy the show.

They sat down and Lena curled up next to Amelie, resting her head on her shoulder. It felt weird that she was currently doing this with Lena considering how she came so close to losing her at the beginning of this while mess but that was over. She guessed she just had to learn to enjoy the moment.
