Angela woke up in a chair next to Fareeha's bed. She was awake, just spacing out. She yawned as Fareeha realized she was awake. "Morning, Angela." She nodded in response. She was honestly way too tired to even speak. It was a good thing that Angela had a 1 week break during the winter. She could spend more time with Fareeha. She sighed at the fact that Fareeha had broken her Raptora armor and her leg. She hadn't landed properly, of course. The bullet shot straight through her armor. "I need to get to Torbjorn, am I allowed moving yet?" Angela did a quick check up. "Yes, of course. Do you want to make a call for someone to pick you up?" Fareeha nodded. "Thank you, Angela." "For what?" She asked, grabbing Fareeha's phone. "Helping me. You put your life in danger for me." Angela shook her head. "It's my job." "You know you could've left me and others could help me, right?" Angela just pressed a finger against Fareeha's lips. "Don't start.." She was holding back tears. "I'm...I'm sorry." Fareeha had took the phone from Angela, calling Lena. "Hello?" She answered. "Hey, Lena, can you pick me up?" Fareeha asked. "Sure thing luv! On my way." "Alright, thanks." She hung up. Fareeha sighed, now being able to sit up straight. Angela leaned back in her chair, sipping her coffee. She was looking through Fareeha's HSI files. "You've been included in some very tough missions.. Most of them with fatal injuries.. Oh my god.." She closed the folder. "Fareeha, why haven't you told me what happened at HSI?" Fareeha looked away. "I didn't want you to be involved. You know you would be sad. Especially after what I saw." Angela glared at Fareeha, furiously. "Do YOU know that I created Genji? I carry his burden and he hates me. On top of that.. I created a monstrosity. I created him." Angela was getting angry. "I CREATED THE REAPER! LOOK AT THE BURDEN I CARRY!" She yelled at Fareeha. Fareeha was taken a back. "I'm sorry, Angela..I shouldn't have to compare that to what you've experienced." She was genuinely apologetic. Hana rushed in. "I heard screaming, is everyone okay?" Angela still didn't say anything. "Yes, Hana, everything is fine. Is Lena here yet?" She asked. Hana nodded. "What happened to Angie?" She asked. "She... She's just feeling upset. You guys should comfort her, I just know it should be anyone but me for now." Fareeha said, standing up. She grabbed her crutches, hopping towards the parking lot. "Hana stopped her. "Just please, take care of her. Ever since her abusive relationship with Genji, she's been feeling awful." Fareeha turned. "Abusive? Hana, you need to tell me when I get back." She sighed, nodding as Fareeha left to Lena's car. There she was, leaning against her bright orange BMW, waiting for Fareeha to come. Fareeha guessed she was looking at some pictures of that Talon girl. She giggled at the thought of it. Fareeha hopped over to the car as Lena looked at her. "My god, luv, you look like shit. Where are we off to?" She asked, starting up the car. Fareeha was distracted by it's lovely engine but still replied. "To Torbjorn's. Planning to get some prosthetics and new armor." She answered. "Awh, smashin' luv! You'd look so good in new armor!" Honestly, Fareeha didn't mind a little 'makeover.' She already had a picture in mind. Inspired by her very good friend at HSI, Tariq, she decided to make a new design just incase she needed it. Fareeha was quite glad to get new armor. I mean, she basically has to replace her jaw with metal. She shivered at the thought. "What's wrong, luv?" Lena asked. "Just thinking about how my jaw is literally going to be replaced." "Well, yeah, I guess tha' would scare me shitless too." They laughed. "Alright, luv! We are here!" She parked her car. "Thank you so much! Pick me up in an hour?" Fareeha asked. "No problem luv! Good luck." Fareeha nodded, as Lena helped her out. She hopped to the shop entrance as the bells jingled. Torbjorn called from the back. "I'll be there in a minute!" She could hear him rustling through gear.  He came up  to the front. "Oh my god, why isn't it Fareeha Amari!" he guffawed. Fareeha smiled, standing up from her seat. "It has been a very long time indeed, Torbjorn." "So what can I get for you?" He asked. "Actually, I wouldn't mind getting some armor." She said, with a polite smile. Torbjorn stood infront of Fareeha with a surprised look on his face. "Oh my god..What happened?" "Please, Torbjorn, it's nothing." "No, it really is something. I actually have some very nice prosthetics in stock. Armor will take about 2 weeks." Fareeha nodded. "Actually, can you get those prosthetics installed right now?" Torbjorn nodded, going through the back and rummaging through gear. "Alright, there are some nice ones.." He pulled out the nicest, pitch black and shiny prosthetics Fareeha had ever seen. "Torb, those are the nicest things I've ever seen..." "Always save the best for important clients." He guffawed. Fareeha chuckled along with him. "Well then, let's get started!" Fareeha nodded, following Torbjorn to the back.

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

It took more than an hour. Lena was waiting at the front, waiting. She was getting impatient. Finally, Fareeha came out. Lena's heart skipped a beat. Fareeha had 2 prosthetic arms, 1 prosthetic leg and half of her jaw was metal, just like she said in the car. "Woah... You look so badass!" Lena complimented. Fareeha looked at her arms. Fully prosthetic. It was going to take a while to get used to them. "Yeah.." She thanked Torbjorn and left with Lena. "So, whaddya think about your new arms?" Lena asked, starting up the car. "They're..nice..I wonder what Angela will think about them.." Fareeha tried to move her leg. She struggled, but managed to move it. "How'sa 'bout we get a nice drink tonight, huh?" She asked Fareeha, nudging her slightly. She smiled,having small flashbacks to when Fareeha and Lena used to hang out. "Why not?" Fareeha said. "Drop me off at the hospital, I'd like to see Angela." Lena giggled. "Reeha has a girl crush~" She chanted. Fareeha mumbled something, switching between English and Arabic. They had reached the hospital. "Thank you so much, Lena." "Anytime, luv! I'll pick you up in 'bout 2 hours, alright?" Fareeha nodded and entered the hospital. Hana was at the front. "Hey, Reeha! Looking for Angie?" She nodded in response. "She's at her apartme-..Oh my god, Reeha you look..Just woah." Fareeha chuckled awkwardly. "Anyways, thank you for telling me where Angela is." Hana nodded, still amazed at Fareeha's new look. She walked towards the apartment. It was only a few blocks from the hospital. She had reached after 15 minutes, going to Angela's floor. She knocked. Fareeha heard a soft "come in." She entered, looking around. "Angela?" She walked inside, as Angela came into the living room. "Hello, Fareeha...Oh my goodness. You got them installed?" She asked, with a soft smile. It seemed that she wasn't upset anymore. Fareeha nodded in response, sitting down beside Angela. "I'm sorry about earlier."Angela said. "Actually, I shouldn't have even compared what happened.." Fareeha replied. Angela shook her head. "I shouldn't have been so self-centered.." She rested her head on Fareeha's shoulder. Fareeha didn't expect it, being a bit flustered. After a bit, she got used to it, letting Angela come closer. "Don't think about it." Fareeha comforted her.
