An Undetermined Birthday

Sombra sat on the kitchen counter with her phone in her hand. Her legs dangled, swinging back and forth as she waited for Reyes to get out of the bathroom. His constant singing and loud music was annoying, causing him to take an even longer shower than usual.

"Gabe! Hurry up!" She yelled at him, loud enough to where he could hear her and slammed something violently in the shower. She almost had fell off the counter with how quick he has morphed into his black fog like appearance in front of her. His red demonic eyes stared a cold glare into her soul and she nervously chuckled.

"¡Cálmate!" She put her hands up in surrender, "I was only hurrying you, because I have something to tell you, mi amigo"

He went away and came back clothed now, his toned arms crossed as he stared at her. "What is it, Sombra?"

"Gee, don't sound like you like me or anything" She scoffed and rolled her eyes, she flicked her wrist and brought up a calendar turning it towards him. "Look at the date today, Gabe"

He squinted and looked at the bold lettering on the light purple holographic program.

'Amélie joins Talon'

He gave Sombra a dirty look, which was hidden behind his mask. "What is this about?"

"Look, I am know the story about her. I know she's not here by choice and I also know she can't ever leave.." Sombra started but was interrupted by Reaper's irritated voice.

"She will one day..."

"Yeah, yeah, but listen I got this good idea, okay?" Sombra hopped up and simulated a cute little holo video drawing she had made that elaborated her plan. "I say, me and you throw her a little party. She comes home, there is tons of balloons and cake, she loves cake Gabe you know this. We just all have a good time, because I also know that she remembers what this day is and she doesn't deserve to go through it alone. We'll just pretend it's a little birthday party"

He was stiffened anymore, unclenched his fists even. It wasn't a bad idea, in fact, it's better that she didn't have to go through it alone.

"Okay, I'll go along with this plan Sombra. But if you do anything to upset her.." He warned, but she brushed it off and chuckled.

"I would never... now let's get set up" She ran off to her room, rummaging through the many boxes she had. "She should be back soon!"

  Amélie came back to the base, dressed in normal clothes and her hair flowing down her back. When she would go out, especially by herself, Talon would have her fully cover herself in makeup to make sure she was normal enough for people to not raise suspicion. She was wanted after all for numerous reasons. There were many places who even wanted her for theirselves, knowing how precise of a sniper she was. Talon wouldn't have it.

She knew what today was.. how could she forget? It was the day she was changed, a brand new person. The day she had lost Gerard for good. It wasn't a very good thing to remember, but she tried to keep it off her mind for most of the day.

That was until she opened the door to her room.

"SURPRISE MI AMIGA!"

The purple haired Latina yelled happily, blowing a party horn wildly. Reaper had one as well with a pointy party hat. She gave a look of confusion, looking between the two and the decorated dorm.

"What.." She breathed, resting a hand to her chest. "What is going on here..?"

"Well, mi araña~ we're throwing you a birthday party..!" She walked over to her, linking arms and walking her to a bar stool, helping her sit down. On the counter before them, was a big cake with a black widow spider on top with webbing and lots of decorative things smothered on it. The two had signed their names in icing near the bottom.

"We made it just for you" Reyes added, taking in the details of Amélie's face. He wanted to make sure she wasn't going to be upset. It was a sensitive subject, in which they wanted to help their partner out with.

"A birthday party..." She sounded out every syllable, touching the hourglass on the spider softly. The icing smeared onto her finger tip, red covering it. "I do not have a birthday..."

Sombra and Gabriel exchanged looks, Sombra giving a mousy chuckle. Gabe decided to come forward and place his hand on her shoulder, in hopes to comfort her.

"We wanted to make you feel better about today. It's not fair for you to feel.."

He paused as a barely audible sniff was heard from the woman, she put on a smile as a tear drifted down her cheek. The two couldn't actually believe what they were seeing. She was lucky Talon wasn't here and had seen it. Surely she would be punished for such an act.

"Merci, mes amies" She wiped it away, turning to give Gabriel a tight hug. She stayed like that, not wanting them to see her so weak. Sombra threw her hands up silently behind her, glaring at Gabe for getting a hug from her. He smirked from behind the mask and wrapped his arms around her as if to provoke Sombra even more. She made a signal with her finger to her neck as if to threaten him, but Amélie gave him a quick kiss on his mask and gave Sombra a similar one yet it was a bit shorter.

"Now, shall we eat cake?" Amélie smiled softly, something that was normal to her now to pretend but it caused the others such happiness she continued to use it.

As Sombra cut the cake, Reyes couldn't help but smile. He was proud of her, both of them, but more of Amélie because of how strong she was. She'd always been that way. And he adores her for it. He thought about their hug, that was the closest they had ever been. Her skin was soft, along with her silky hair. He couldn't wait to get Amélie out of here one day.

"Oye, Gabe! Eat your cake already" She barked, shoving spoonfuls at a time into her mouth. Widowmaker chuckled softly watching her as she too ate her cake. Gabriel was just happy to see her smiling again.
