Merry Christmas

Angela awoke on her bed and to pounding on her door. "Hey Doc!" came a voice on the other side. Even though it was muffled, the medic could tell it was Lena. "It's snowing outside!" Angela smiled. She always loved when it snowed. The rushing sounds of footsteps alerted Angela that Lena ran off to tell others. Angela pushed herself up on her elbows and scanned her room. The months had flown by ever since she and Gabriel got together. It was already December and nearing Christmas time, yet with the formation of Blackwatch and the Omnics becoming more of a threat, Angela doubted there would a Christmas for Overwatch.

The medic dragged herself out of bed and went over to her drawer putting on a long sleeved, loose turtle neck shirt along with some jeans and shoes. She then left her room to go outside and check out the snow.

Once she stepped outside, her breath was sucked away by how cold it was, but the sight was beautiful. Trees were covered with beautiful white crystals and sparkled in the sun's morning light. Angela crossed her arms and shivered at the cold, but she smiled and gleamed at the beauty of winter.

"How are you not turning into an icicle with as little as you're wearing?" came a deep voice behind her. Without looking at who it was, she chuckled and responded.

"Because I'm used to this type of weather, Gabriel. I've lived in Switzerland all my life so I've adapted." The man chuckled and wrapped his arms around Angela's waists. He put his chin on top of her head and swayed to the wind. A blush rose to her face, but she could barely feel it beneath her frozen skin.

"I've got one mission to do tonight and then I'm free for a bit," Gabriel informed.

"How long is a bit?" Angela asked.

"Dunno. But, you can expect me to be spending all my time with you," he replied back. Angela smiled at the thought and then gasped as he planted a kiss on her neck, his goatee tickling her sensitive skin. He laughed and then turned her around giving her a proper kiss. It sent warmth through her body and made her smile even bigger. Gabriel pulled back then shivered. "Can we PLEASE go back inside. I'm freezing out here." Angela laughed and grabbed his arm leading him back inside the building.

Once inside, he took his beanie off and his curls fell across his face. Angela couldn't help but giggle at how cute he was with his short, curly hair. He raised an eyebrow down at her and she quickly turned away and whistled. Gabriel smirked and then the two continued down to the cafeteria for breakfast.

After breakfast, Gabriel was forced to get ready for his mission. He asked if she wanted to help him, but Genji was going to be there and she didn't want to see the monster that she created. Genji was made into a killing machine with barely any emotions anymore. It shook Angela up to the core.

Instead, Angela went up back to her office. She was going to clean a little while Gabriel was out. He told her he might return in either 2-3 days. A day and a half if the Blackwatch group worked fast. Knowing this new and "improved" Genji, they might just go by with a breeze.

As Angela was rearranging things in her desk, she heard a knock on her door and then a nervous, southern accent. "Hey, uh Doc, can I speak to ya for a moment?"

"Of course, come in," Angela responded. The door opened and Jesse walked in. He was wearing his Blackwatch outfit and held his cowboy hat against his chest. "What is it, Jesse?" Angela asked, propping herself on her desk. Jesse gulped and looked nervously around.
