BitterSweet

Egypt

You and Reaper walked all the way back to the base last night, you left your car on the side of the road, Reaper said he would get someone to tow it back to the garage. 

The next morning you had a slight headache from hitting the steering wheel with your head. You sat at your computer after some much-needed painkillers. You needed to find someone that could repair your car. After a few phone calls, you found someone willing to do it over the week. With that being done you decided to read your messages. You see a message from Sombra and you suddenly remembered that you owed her for letting you into Reapers room.

You got on a dropship and headed to Cairo, Egypt, Sombra needed you to attach a device to a Helix Security International dropship. 

You had your usual combat gear on and your new pulse rifle that hasn't seen any combat yet.

Reaper pov

You looked around the base for y/n,  you couldn't find her anywhere. You walked to Sombra's door and proceeded to slam on it. Sombra opens the door with a smile. 

"Where is y/n" You growled 

"She is in Eygpt," She said slyly 

"You sent her to the one place Jack and Ana are!? The two people who know my identity" You slammed your fist into the wall

She snickered a little at your rage.

"I'm going to Eygpt to extract her out of whatever personal mission you sent her on" You stormed off to the dropships. 

Y/N Pov

You walked across the scorched grown trying to stay low and undetected as you approached your targeted dropship. It was night time so you knew there would be some agents in the dropship right now possibly sleeping, the others were probably guarding the God program in the temple. The ship's door was closed so it seemed pretty simple to put the device on the bottom of their ship and leave.

You arrive outside the ship and you began to dig and crawl in the sand little under the ship, you took the device from your belt and attached it to the ship. You pulled out your phone and activated the device, the device began to blink a purple light signifying it was active. You crawled out of the hole and began to cover the hole with sand. You paused for a second because you heard laughter from inside the ship. You quickly swept sand over the hole faster and quickly ran out in the desert between the city of Cairo and the dropship. You stumbled a few times trying to get into the city but luckily you made it into the cities arms. 

You began to run through ally ways trying to get to your pickup point. Out of nowhere, you felt something hit your arm like a bottle or a glass grenade filled with something, it felt like acid burning your flesh, you let out a small scream. You quickly darted to cover trying to figure out where that came from, you took off your face mask to try and catch your breath from your running. You scanned the windows and rooftops and someone with a sniper rifle caught your eye on a roof. You rushed across the street to the building the person was on, you swung your rifle to your back and began to quickly scale the side of the building to get to them. You almost fell when you started taking fire from someone on a building across from you. You jumped into a window for cover, you saw a man with a pulse rifle on the across building, you began to fire a few shots and he ducked down giving you enough time to climb out of a window not facing him and you began your climb again.

You reached the roof and the sniper tried to throw a grenade at you but you did a roll to avoid it, you were about to fire a helix rocket at the sniper.

"Y/N!" She gasped in surprise, you quickly recognized the woman as Ana Amari. 

You replied with also a shocked look "Ana, you were supposed to be dead" 

The shock caught you off guard and a helix rocket came flying at you, you didn't have time to dodge and it hit you dead on sending you flying back into the railing of the roof. You look up in pain and you see the man with the pulse rifle on the roof with you aiming the gun at your head. He was about to pull the trigger until you hear Ana speak up. 

"Jack no! It's y/n" She put her arm in front of him causing him to lower the gun and walk over to you. 

"Jack Morrison? You are also dead" You mumbled in pain. 

He lifted his gun again at you "What were you doing to that dropship?" 

You knew he was suspicious, you were about to lie but you knew this man was good at telling if you were.  

"Someone in Talon told me to put a device on it," You told the truth only because you knew Sombra only needed a minute to hack into the ship's computers once the device was attached to the ship.  Ana narrowed her eye at you in disappointment, you knew her daughter was part of Helix and she probably felt as if I put her in danger. 

"So you joined him in Talon after all." She sighed and gave a saddened look and then looked over to Jack, Jack looked at her. 

"Joined who?" You tilted your head.

"You don't know!?" Ana said in surprise, she didn't answer your question and Jack prevented you from asking again. 

"We can't have her report anything back to Talon Ana, she has to be put to a stop now before she does damage." Jacks voice was still a commanders voice.

  Ana looked very sad about what Jack was going to have to do. Jack raised his gun to your head but he quickly looked up, above you was a Talon dropship. You looked up at the ship and soon you watched as Reaper jumped out of the ship landing on the roof, it caught both Jack and Ana off guard which resulted in Reaper giving a kick to Jack causing him to fly into a wall. Reaper quickly turned to Ana and swept his leg under hers making her fall on her back. You quickly got up and swung you rifle around to your hands so you were ready. A rope fell behind you from the ship Reaper pointed to it and yelled, "Grab it!" You did as he said and grabbed the rope as it began to raise you up to the ship, Reaper held his gun outstretched at Ana's head but he saw in the corner of his eye Jack was beginning to get up so Reaper ran and jumped onto the rope you were on and you both were raised into the safety of the ship. 

In the ship, you looked down at your arm, the flesh was peeling back almost like it melted. It was definitely severe chemical burns. You tried to pat some of the sand off your wound with your shirt but the pain was too much, you cried out in pain and Reaper walked over to you and looked at your arm. 

"Ana's Biotic Grenade, its some kind of acid or chemical, she has hit me with one before, it is pretty nasty." Reaper walked over to a medical safe in the corner of the ship and returned with a healing ointment. He took off his glove and put some on your wound. 

Sand stuck to your sweat and you blood covering your clothing from cuts and gashes left on you from the helix rocket Jack shot, but you could wait to tend to them later.

"I can't believe they both are alive," You said sadly 

Reaper didn't respond he just growled before standing up and walking over to the medical safe to put back the ointment.  

The rest of the trip was almost in silence. 

"Why did you help Sombra," He asked quietly. 

You looked at him for a minute "I owed her for letting me in your room that one time" 

He sighed and went back to sitting in silence. You couldn't help but wonder if maybe Gabriel didn't really die that night since it seems two ghosts came back from the grave. You looked over at Reaper in suspicion.
