Gency - the prehistory

07 Incredible

Genji's POV

I was shocked. What if she was going to die right now? I couldn't bear it. I hardly knew her, but somehow she was important to me. She had saved my life and was there for me. She was beautiful and a good person.
"Oh," I just said, staring at her.
"It's alright, I'll notice it in time. I'm sure. That's just a theory, maybe there's nothing and it all took its course," she answered hastily, biting her lower lip. I took a step closer and pulled her to me.
"I hope you're right," I said, hugging her. Confused, she returned the embrace and said in a low voice: "I'm exploring all this and soon I'll be certain."
"Well, Ninja Boy. Slammed a little too hard and now embarrassed to console your training partner?", Said a small man and threw a bag into the hall.
"Hello Torbjörn," said Angela and let me go in shock.
"Hello," I said, pulling my arms away as well.
"That's embarrassing," Angela said shortly, smiling.
"Oh, that's no problem. I just got back with Pharah," he said, sitting down on the stairs that led to the area.
"Did everything go well with her suit?", Angela asked curiously.
"Yes. Would you mind cleaning up the hall?", He asked, looking at us in turn.
"Sure, we still wanted to go to Jack anyway," Angela answered and wavered.
"Well then," said Torbjörn and stood up.
Angela gently pulled me along. She raised her coat in the direction of the locker room.
"We still have to get you out of this armor," she said, smiling. "At least for now."
I answered with a nod and sat exhausted in the corner of the locker room on a bench, almost right next to the small table on which the armor lay.
Angela got the tool and knelt in front of me. She started to solve everything and then asked me to get up, what I did.
"Just this piece and then you can put your clothes back on," she commented on her approach, freeing me from the rest of the armor.
In the corner with the small computer a light flashed reddish and so briefly cast a spell over me.
Angela put the armor back on the table and sprayed it with a solution.
"Genji, you can get dressed," she said emphatically, eyeing me.
I loosened my eyes and blinked a few times.
"Sorry, I was in thoughts," I said, getting dressed.
When she was done, she went to her closet and changed.
"I'm curious what Jack has to discuss," said Angela and threw her sports equipment on the bench.
"Maybe we are not fast enough with the training," I replied, standing next to her locker door so that I could not see her, but had diminished the distance.
"Well possible, he's terribly impatient, so his hair is always just combed up, and Ana seems to like it," she said, laughing and putting on her smock. She then closed the locker door and gathered her things together.
"Are you coming?", She asked afterwards, approaching me so close that only a few millimeters separate us.
Uncertain I said: "Yes, of course". Then she backed away and went ahead.
I trotted beside her. Just before we left the door, she threw her sports gear into a basket that contained other laundry and then adjusted her smock.
"I'm glad that I was able to train against someone again and not just on equipment and with simulations," she said happily and nodded in passing to Torbjörn.
We went up a flight of stairs to a long corridor. At one of the doors stood a woman, shaking her head.
"Angela, did you see my mother", the woman asked.
"Hello Pharah, not at all, sorry," Angela replied.
"Okay thanks," Pharah said, seeing Angela as she kept going on to her butt.
I glared at her and followed Angela.
"That was Pharah, she's a little younger and tests an experimental suit for Overwatch with some others," Angela explained.
"She's up for you," I commented, turning my head around for a moment.
"Oh well, she's a good friend and I help her and her mother when there's a fight between them," she replied, then stopped in front of one of the doors.
