Hold On [ Mercy x Female Reader ]

What's the bad thing?

I held Angela's hand as we walked back down to the main floor. Every now and then I glanced over to her, and every time I did, she would smile back me despite her injuries.

I would squeeze her hand three times, which was meant to give her the message: I love you. She would reciprocate my action the best as she could, making my smile become even wider.

It seemed that we were in our own world, when all of a sudden I heard a faint beeping sound. I quickly turned my head towards the sound. I stared at the wall, squinting.

"What is it?" 76 asked me.

"I don't know." I let go of Angela's hand. I felt her try to reach back for it, as she didn't want me to leave her side.

I inspected the wall, and felt it with my hands. I winced from the pain that jolted from my wounded hand. I was able to feel an odd divot in the wall. It was a distinct shape.

"There's a secret compartment here." I called out as I tried to find a way to open it.

"I wonder what could be in there..." One of the men helping Angela said.

The cover easily fell off, as if they wanted us to find it.

"What is it?" Someone asked. I stared at the contents of the compartment, unable to speak.

"What is the good thing?" 76 asked.

"...The beeping will be over soon." I managed.

"And what's the bad thing?"

"...It's a bomb." I responded. "And we only have ten minutes left before this whole place explodes..."

"Well, golly oh gee, that is a predicament." The man once again chimed in. "Angela is losing blood quickly, Soldier. I recommend we get her out now, sir."

In that moment, I decided that I must stay behind. "You guys go ahead, I'll diffuse the bomb. I learned how to do this back in my extensive training." I looked to 76 for his approval.

"She's in no condition to do this-" Angela quickly cut in.

"No, Angela. I am fine. This place has children in it. We need to keep everyone alive." I responded.

"She is right." Soldier responded. "Everyone else we need to evacuate promptly. We will notify the other groups. Let's go."

The group began to move out.

"Wait!" Angela mumbled. "Come here, [y/n]."

I quickly rushed to her. She took my hand and squeezed it three times. I reciprocated before running back to the bomb.

These next few minutes will decide the fate of over hundreds of people. And it's all on me. No pressure.

Hey guys! I hope you are enjoying this so far, because I am having a great time writing this. Sorry it's been an eternity since the last part, I have been busy with other stories and have found practically no time to do anything for this one. But it's not dead, I promise. I'm constantly fixing grammatical errors.

How do you like my trashy stories? Anyways thank you for reading this part!
