Angel In Disguise

Chapter 2: The Angel

Genji dreamed about Angela all that night.  She appeared to him as an angelic host, reaching out to him with her hand, saying to him in her mesmerizing Swiss accent, "I was only trying to help Genji." I know Angela, I'm sorry! She started to ascend like that of a bird with giant golden wings outstretched.  No. Angela don't leave me!! She slowly disappeared into the sky. 
Angela, I love you.

Genji awoke the next morning to a deafening alarm, red lights flashing, and the hospital staff panicked and running around.  He quickly arose from the hospital bed despite the great pain he was in.  "What is happening?!?" he asked one of Angela's assistants.  "We are under attack from Talon" she said. "Get to the shelter!"

"I need to see Dr. Ziegler" he insisted.  "I'm sorry, but you cannot see her at this time." she explained.  "What is Dr. Ziegler doing that I cannot see..."

He looked up as a woman fell through the ceiling with golden wings outstretched, creating a huge hole.  The woman crashed to the ground, breaking some of the pristine tile.  He rushed over to assist the woman who had fallen.

"Angela?!?" he exclaimed.

"Genji, this is not a good time. I'll explain everything later."

"Angela, what are you?!?"

"This is not a good time. We are under attack!" she yelled as she flew up, out of the hole she created.  She held a caduceus staff, which he recognized as being used by healers.  "Wow." he said, looking up at that hole. 

He heard a woman with a strong British accent calling "Mercy love, are ye' alright?"

"I'm okay, thank you Tracer.  I just took a nasty fall, that's it!" she responded to her friend and ally in battle.

Genji ran towards the hospital doors, pushing them open and running out quickly to watch Angela in battle.  He watched her as she flew so elegantly to help her allies, healing them with a golden beam from her staff.  That suit made her look even more attractive to him.

Suddenly, he saw a flash of blue light beside him, a woman appeared from out of nowhere.  She wore her brown hair spiked up tall, aviator goggles, a brown leather jacket, and bright yellow/orange spandex pants.

"Cheers love!" she said with her heavy British accent.  Genji recognized it as the woman from the roof calling to 'Mercy'. "What are you doing just standing around?  Come help us fight!"

With another bright flash of blue light, she appeared inside the hospital, and then onto the roof.  Genji was confused and a little bit startled by the strange woman, but he ran inside.  He grabbed his sword from the table over near his bed, placing it in its sheath and dashed outside.  He propelled himself onto one of the nearby trees, then with great force up to the roof.

He was shocked to see everyone on the roof; humans and omnics all fighting together for a common goal.  There were people of many different nationalities and races with all different abilities.  He looked up to see his love Angela, the angel on the battlefield.

Suddenly, he began being shot at by a man wearing long black robes and a skull mask.  Genji removed the sword from its sheath and started to deflect the bullets.  Every bullet shot was sliced neatly in half by a swish of his sword.  He put the sword back in its sheath and quickly pulled it out, yelling "Ryujin no ken wo kurae!!!!"

His sword glowed a mysterious green, and the spirit of a huge green dragon flew towards the man in the skull mask and his allies.  The man disappeared with a trace of black dust and smoke, while the others quickly got away.

The woman from before flashed over to him, "That was amazing love!  Welcome to the team!" The other heroes stood in awe, staring at Genji after what he had just done.  Angela flew down to Genji and landed beside him, giving him a hug. "Genji, that was incredible!"

She walked beside him and started introducing him to the other members of Overwatch.  They walked over to the short British woman from before, saying, "Genji, this is Lena Oxton: codename Tracer."

"Honor to meet ya love!" she rambled, shaking his hand violently.

"It's nice to meet you too Tracer.." he added, smiling.

After lots of introductions and shaking hands, Genji and Angela went inside the hospital to sit down.

She explained to him how she is one of Overwatch's healers, fighting against the forces of Talon.  She talked about all of the battles that they have had and how everyone fought together.

"Wow." Genji said out of the blue.  "I know," she added, smiling at him "isn't it amazing..." "Everyone here is so unique.  I feel accepted here, because some of these people have gone through what I am currently experiencing.  The same feelings of isolation, confusion, and sadness." he admitted to her.

"You will make an amazing Overwatch hero.." she told him, smiling.  He smiled and felt a moment of bonding between them. Genji and Angela walked into the hospital together and Genji walked over to the hospital bed.

"Good night, Angel" he told her as she walked off. 
"I think you meant Angela.." she kindly corrected him "but, good night Genji"

I didn't mean Angela.  After what I saw today, I am so thankful that she saved me.  She truly is an angel...
