~Blue Team~

As the orange haired phoenix left holding a tube with green flesh in her hands, the repurposed Omnics that rushed to her rescue stood between the Spartan Team and Moira.

"Get behind us." Kelly said ushering Mercy and 76 behind them as the four SPARTAN-IIs stood, poised for battle.

"Fred, try hailing the Infinity. Kelly, Linda, cover fire." Chief said as he squeezed the trigger, firing off shots at the advancing omnics. Soon enough, bullets were exchanged for plasma shots as The four Spartans backed up, Mercy and 76 keeping close behind as 76 aimed his rifle between Linda and Chief as he fired his rifle, hitting some bots.

"Fred?" Chief asked urgently. "I'm trying, but they're blocking communications!" Fred said before firing his DMR at one advancing omnic.

"Fall back!" Chief shouted as they turned and hussled past Mercy and 76. "Damn it, I can't go on." Angela huffed before 76 tossed Fred his rifle and picked up Angela bridal style as he used his strength to run as fast as he can.

"There, in that building! We can lose them there!" Chief shouted as the Spartan snapped from the road and ran to building. Plasma rounds streaked past 76's face as he glanced down to see Angela holding her blaster and firing blindly by his arm. He looked up to see Fred and Linda ushering him in as he charged past the two Spartans and slid to a stop as they closed the doors, the rumbling of robotic sounded loudly before it sound died down as the army ran past. 76 released Mercy as Fred walked over and handed him his rifle. He ejected a spent mag and slapped a new one in as he looked at Fred and nodded.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd thought you'd be a Spartan from Reach." Fred commented with an approving nod.

"Well, all those chemicals they pumped into me was good for something I guess." 76 said. Mercy turned to him and crossed her arms.

"What chemicals to be exact?" She asked. 76 looked at her and shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

"I'm not a scientist, I'm a soldier doll." He replied as he sat down before wincing. He removed his '76' jacket and glanced down to see a stray shot had hit him through his dose of adrenaline. On his abdomen, a wound the size of a fist showed as blood trickled down as red welled around the wound.

"Oh damn it." He said reaching for his jacket before realising it was missing. He turned to see Mercy holding his jacket that held his first aid kit. She grabbed it and looked as 'first aid' kit was a biotic field she created back in the old days of Overwatch.

"Where did you get this technology?" She asked as Fred and Kelly glanced over at them.

"When you raid a warehouse, you find interesting toys." 76 replied. "But specific warehouses that held Overwatch technology only known to a select few." Angela countered.

"Why do you care where I find my kits? I'm a vigilante remember or did it pass your thick head?" 76 growled as Angela looked at him before a tick happened in her head.

"Who knows?" She asked. 76 looked up at her in surprise. "What do you mean?" He asked.

"Who else knows you're alive, Commander Morrison?" She asked again as the four Spartans now placed their attention on the two. 76 sighed as he lowered his head. Angela walked over and placed his jacket next to him as she raised her hand tentatively to his mask before he reached up and grabbed her hand, causing her to gasp lightly as he released his grip on her hand and reached for his mask. A hissed escaped as he removed the mask to show his face. His face, instead of the young fresh face, now held a face of pain as a scar ran down his face, his once blonde hair now silver as the moon as he once energetic blue eyes now showed the passage of time his body took. He dared not look at Angela as the medic stared at her thought-to-be dead Commander. She knelt down and grabbed his cheek as she forced him to look at her. He looked into her blue eyes as a smile replaced her scowl.
