You were between life and death in a surgery room in Overwatch. In another room, you could hear cries of anger and laugh even through the door. Angela and Ana were trying to keep you alive while Fareeha and Hanzo got angry with Charlie. Winston ran into the living room where Fareeha, Hanzo and Charlie were. Winston saw Charlie tethered to a chair, hands and feet tied with handcuffs. His face was beaten, Hanzo was holding Fareeha as she was about to give Charlie another shot. You could clearly see the rage on Fareeha's face. Hanzo had more and more trouble retaining Fareeha, Fareeha was struggling Hanzo's hold, but Winston was helping Hanzo. "Why are you angry Fareeha?" Fareeha continued to struggle, her murderous look never letting Charlie go. "This little fucker! He never had a single piece of information about Talon! He just wanted us to give him protection, we'll lose a new recruit just because of him!!" Charlie laughed as he coughed blood, he raised his head as he watched Fareeha and he had a malicious smile on him. "Why do you think people have told me that I am a selfish man Adina? Because I am."

Fareeha pushed Hanzo and Winston away, she slowly approached Charlie with a dark look on her. Fareeha lifted Charlie into the air with the force of his hands, her enormous pressure remained on Charlie's neck and her two hands were on Charlie's neck. "Okay, now you're going to listen to me clearly Charlie Smith. First my name is not Adina, secondly if (Y/n) dies in the days that follow, you will follow him/her and quickly from my hand." Fareeha lets go of Charlie's neck and she went to the room where (Y/n) was. Charlie got up and coughed, then Hanzo walked over to him and he punched her face. He sighed as he looked at the ceiling, closing his eyes. "It relieves me to hit you like it." Fareeha sat on a bench and waited for the red light to go out. Inside the room, the tension was unbearable. Reaper's bullets had lodged deeply in some of your vital organs. After several hours of operation, the red light outside was extinguished. Meanwhile, the other group had returned from their mission and they had all been warned of the mission which was a total disaster. Jack headed to the room where Charlie was tied up, Lena and Lucio running towards the operating room, seeing D.Va's red eyes and Fareeha's stoic face. Lena and Lucio were arriving by being completely out of breath and their wet eyes also having learned the news.

"Is it true?" Fareeha turned her head towards both of them and she simply nodded. When the light was out, the four of them stood watching the door. Ana came out of the room and she was assaulted by the young. She raised her hand and everyone was silent. "(Y/n) is alive but if you want to see him/her, you should each go your turn. (Y/n) is still recovering from his/her injuries." You woke up with great pain in the abdomen, your head was horribly hurt. You opened your eyes and you met directly the bright light of a room. You adjusted your vision according to the light and then you opened your eyes completely. You could see the worried faces and faces of Fareeha, Hana, Lucio and Lena. You sat quietly on the bed but you immediately regretted your gesture, your abdomen continued to give you immense suffering. Lena helped you get on the bed properly without suffering any longer. Hana struck you gently on the shoulder, wiping away her tears. "You gave us a hell of a fear (Y/n). You big noob!" You lightly rubbed your shoulder with a look of sorrow on you, you smiled slightly on you. "I'm really sorry about that everyone." Everyone sighed but they all wore a cheerful smile.

"You're someone hard to kill (Y/n)." "Well you know when you've been around death in your childhood it's better that you be." Then you heard right after the door opened. You saw Hanzo all tired, he gasped heavily and tried to resume his breathing. Lucio rolled up to him, supporting him, Hanzo merely thanked him and he looked at you. You were about to say something but you saw Ana looking at the five people in front of her. Fareeha swallowed a little frightened, Lena and Hana were just looking at Ana and their eyes remained on Ana. Ana pointed out of the room with a stern look. "What did I say early? Now get out of here and let (Y/n) recover from his/her injuries." Everyone was leaving your room running. Ana was coming towards you with medicine in her hand. She put them on the table and then she left your room. "You're hard to kill (Y/n) that's a good thing." She closed the door and you took your medicine and looked through the window. The sky was completely blue without any cloud, thanks to the trees you knew there was a slight wind breeze. You were seeing some Overwatch agents training outdoors, running around the base. You put your head on your pillow and you began to reach the land of sleep and dreams.

You were out of the medical bay at night, you could not sleep and you had finished taking your medicine just before you fell asleep. Of course, Angela did not allow you to go out because you were not fully recovered but she was already asleep and you did not want to wake her up. For once she had fallen asleep at a correct time. The night in Overwatch was chilly, you wore a t-shirt, a simple jacket and pants. You could not hear any more in the corridors but just the sound of your footsteps. You were heading towards your room, but a sound in the training room attracted your attention. You saw Fareeha and Angela were training together, but in your memories Angela was in her room. You just saw them practising close combat, both seemed as exhausted as you just before your sum, you could hear their breath even if you were standing behind the door. Angela saw you first and she immediately stopped her fight, Fareeha followed her gaze and they approached you. "(Y/n)! Why are you here? You still have to rest, your wounds are not restored!"

You were apologising to Angela, but you should not have disobeyed her because your wounds were still hurting you. You just grinned and ignored the pain. You put your hand behind your head and you went back into the training room. "I'm sorry Angela. But I could not stay in my room without doing anything." She sighed with lassitude but she said nothing. She motioned you to sit on the bench and sit on that bench. She was approaching you with a pharmacy kit, Fareeha was watching you from a distance, laughing lightly. You did not understand why, but you did not ask. Until your ribs stung you with acute pain. You lowered your eyes, Angela saw your wounds that had reopened. You raised an eyebrow by not realising that she had already removed your t-shirt and your ancestral bandages to clean your wounds. You squeezed your teeth and Fareeha seemed to laugh at your pain, as they say: "The misfortune of some makes the happiness of others."  Angela put on new bandages, then she got up from her sitting position. She gave you a flick at the front and you rubbed at the precise spot of the impact."Why?" "I did not tell you, but you made me a fright at the party, you could have asked for help. Try not to be so unconscious next time."

As soon as she reminded you of the event where you received these wounds, you remembered who had made them to you. You remembered his face but you thought he had died from that long. You thought he had died since the explosion of Overwatch's headquarters in Switzerland, but you recognised this face perfectly. You had seen him many years ago, he was in one of those posters hanging on a wall that was so familiar to you. The two women seemed to notice your deep thoughts and they also noticed that you were no longer there but in your thoughts. You came back to your thoughts when Angela gave you a second shot on the forehead. You shook your head and looked at her. "What were you thinking?" "Gabriel Reyes is dead, right?" "Yes, why?" "Because he's not. Reaper is Gabriel Reyes, both are the same person. Gabriel did not die when your HQ exploded." You replied with a low tone. "How can you be so sure?" The two women were shocked at your remarks as if you had told them the biggest stupidity of your life but no. You knew you were telling the truth, you had seen it with your own eyes.

"I saw it before I fall when Gabriel shot me." The two women looked at you with eyes wide open, you remained as serious as you could for women to believe you. After a few moments, they resumed their spirits and looked at each other. "We have to say that to Jack, he'll be surprise." You got up from your bench and left the room, you turned to the girls and you said goodbye. "You should go to rest girls, it's getting late." The women would laugh then they would say good-bye to you, still laughing. "Yeah, yeah, of course. (Y/n), rest well too." You left the room yawning and you were heading towards your room to go to bed again, your wounds tired you much more than you thought.

A/n: Sorry guys for the late update, I'm really sorry but I was busy with the school. I hope you will understand.
