Loyalty

(Tried to keep it close to the lore) 

"Do you know where Commander Reyes is!" You asked the hospital receptionist in a rush.

"He is in Gérard Lacroix room I believe, room 149, down the hall to the right" The receptionist pointed down the hall. 

You ran down the hall to room 149, you calmed yourself down before quietly entering the room. 

You felt like the world stopped spinning as soon as you saw Gabriel. Gabriel's eyes met yours and he then stood up and walked out into the hall with you. 

"What happened," You asked as you held back the tears 

"McCree and I were walking out of the base when the whole building exploded, we quickly ran back in to try to get  Gérard and anyone else. If McCree and I stayed in there one second longer we would not be standing here right now." His sighed, his face filled with anger and sadness. 

Finally, you couldn't hold it in anymore. You hugged Gabriel and began to sob on his chest as he rubbed your back. 

"I thought I lost you" You sobbed 

Gabriel held you back and made you look into his eyes. 

"These Talon attacks need to be stopped and I have a feeling things will get messy, I need to know that you will have my back even if it goes against morals and Overwatch." Gabriel's face was serious. 

"Of course Gabriel, I would do anything for you. I would break every law and I would murder anyone for you, my loyalty lays with you and only you."  

He pulled you back into his arms "Good, I would do the same for you." 

A few days later and the clean up has been done and the body count totaled, I could see on Gabriels face the anger left not only by Talon but also Jack. 

Tonight Gabriel will try to convince Jack to allow him to take matters into his own hands and capture Antonio and bring him to Overwatches custody.  

You waited in Gabriel's office for his return from talking to Jack. 

You were half asleep on his computer when he opened the door.

"Well?" You asked looking up at him.

Gabriel sighed "He gave me the go ahead but he wasn't too happy" 

 Your eyes scanned his "So when will we be going?"

"You won't be coming with us.....It is too risky." 

Your face filled with disappointment and anger as you got up and walked over to Gabriel.

"Oh, so I am not good enough? Is that what it is? You think I cant handle myself?" Your voice shook with anger. 

"This isn't about that! It will be in the heart of Talon, this could be a suicide mission and I'm not dragging you into that! That is my final call like it or not" He growled as he pushed you out of the way and sat at his desk. 

"The rest of us will leave tomorrow night, Moira will be coming as well" He huffed

"Wow, even fucking Moira is going" Your eyes narrowed 

"I don't give two shits if Moira dies...but you...I can't lose you" He yelled 

You were about to yell back until his words sunk in.
