Break in

You laid there on the ground as Reaper stands up, he looks down at your beaten body. He kneels down and proceeds to pick you up bridal style. Just like that his personality seems to change drastically as he carries you over to your bed. He lays you down on one side of your bed and then he walks over to the other side and lays down next to you in silence. You turn on to your side to face him, he makes a little grunt before turning his head towards you. 

"Can I see your face?" You asked softly. 

Reaper seemed a little shocked at your question "No!.... No, you can't" He growled

You frowned at him "Why not, what are you afraid of?" You asked in almost annoyance. 

Reaper sighed "I am a monster. You would be too scared of me" He sadly said. 

"Scared, I have probably seen a lot scarier things then your face." You chuckled, he didn't say anything so you decided to ask more questions. 

"Do you have a name? I don't imagine your mamma named you Reaper" You laughed a little. 

Reaper sat in silence for a minute before answering " I am a monster I don't have a name or a family.  You let out a little pouting noise and turned on to your back so you were now looking at your ceiling. 

You heard a notification on from your phone that was on your nightstand, it was nearly two in the morning why would you get a notification. You asked Reaper to hand you your phone that was on the nightstand near him. He hands you the phone and your eyes widened as you look at your phone. 

"Is something wrong?" Reaper asks.

"It was my security system in my apartment, someone just broke in!" Your voice filled with shock.

"Your apartment?" Reaper asked confused.

"Yeah, I have an apartment in Spain. It is weird because I have a high-security system, only a trained person could access it, not your usual robber." You jumped out of bed still looking at your phone, you here Reaper whisper the word "Spain" to himself.

"I have to go there right now," You said as you rushed over to your wardrobe. 

"There is no drop ship available" Reaper clarified. 

You grunted in frustration as you began to pull out some clothing. 

"That's fine, my car finished getting fixed today." You shrugged and began to put on the clothes. 

Reaper gets off your bed and walks over to you "You aren't serious, are you? After watching you drive the other day I'm not sure you should drive all the way to Spain in a storm." 

You chuckle a little at Reaper actually being worried about you. You gave him a little shrug " I need to see why they broke in" 

Reaper growled and snatched your car keys off your counter before you could grab them, he held them up in the air. "I will drive then" he growled. 

You gave a little smile and gave him a little nod. 

You and Reaper headed down to the garage, it was a little flooded from the storm but it was still fine. You almost got into the driver seat when you remembered that Reaper was going to drive. 

You sat down in the passenger seat next to him. Reaper was just sitting there still, he hadn't even started the car yet, it was like his body was here but his mind was not. You narrowed your eyes, "Reaper?" You lightly put your hand on his shoulder that resulted in him jumping a little. "Sorry, just haven't had to drive in a long time," He said as he began to start the car. You gave him a little smile and began to put the address in the GPS and then sat back.

You liked having someone else drive, he drove at a fast speed but still was cautious since the storm seemed to be getting worse. You had forgotten that you hadn't slept yet and soon you found your self fast asleep in the seat next to Reaper. 

You awoke to Reaper nudging you slightly. Your eyes quickly darted open in almost confusion and looked around. You soon saw in front was the home that you have missed. It wasn't storming in Spain and instead only the morning sun.  You looked over at Reaper and gave him a little thank you smile and preceded to exit the car with a pistol in hand and walk up the stairs to your apartment, Reaper followed you. You stopped and frowned as you saw your apartment door cracked slightly, you positioned your pistol in front of you as you began to open the door. You held the trigger as you cautiously walked inside followed by Reaper with his shotguns drawn. Once inside you had a clear view of the studio apartment, after checking the bathroom you confirmed that you and Reaper where alone. 

You sighed and began investigating on why they could have broken in. You began to check your safes and other valuable items but all of which were still here. You looked over at Reaper who was looking at some photos on your walls, you walked over to look at the photos that you haven't seen in months. On the wall were many pictures of your old friends in Overwatch and Blackwatch. There was a more recent photo of you that Reaper seemed to focus on, it was a picture of you and McCree at the beach from four years ago, you wore a cute black bikini and McCree wore some red swim shorts, you remembered that you had to force him not to where the stupid cowboy hat to the beach. McCree had his arm around your shoulder and wore a big grin, on your face was a sadness filled frown, McCree tried so hard to get you to smile but you hadn't gotten over what happened to Gabriel yet. You laugh a little and Reaper looked down at you and tilted his head. "McCree was a good friend," You said as you turned back around and began looking for the missing items. You started pulling boxes from under your bed, the boxes you kept there where from Blackwatch. You gasped as you pulled an empty box, Reaper quickly walked over to you and looked down at the box. "What is it?" Reaper asked.

"This box had documents I stole from Gabriel Reyes's office after he died." You realized that sounded pretty strange so you clarified why "The UN wanted to hold Gabriel's name accountable for everything that happened even if he was or not...I couldn't let them...so I stole everything from his office so that they would have nothing to investigate and then they would be forced to classify it as an accident." You sighed.  You heard Reaper make a little-chuckled noise. 

"Why would someone want to steal this...its been eight years, I just don't understand," You said concerned. You looked back up to Reaper who was still walking around your apartment looking at things. You closed the empty box and stood up, Reaper looked over at you and you tried your best to smile under the circumstances. 

"You want to see the best part of this apartment" You walked over to a huge glass sliding door that was hidden behind some blindes, you proceded to move the blinds and you unlocked the sliding door that leads to a balcony. You looked back to Reaper and motioned him to follow as you opened the glass door. You and Reaper entered the balcony, you leaned over the rails and looked next to Reaper and then back at the view. You had a beachfront apartment and you spent many mornings and evenings in the past sitting out on this balcony staring off at the ocean. 

Reaper stayed quiet as if he was taking it all in, he looked at you and you gave him a small smile as the ocean's breeze fluttered through your hair. You and him stood there for a while before heading back in. You sighed as you began putting back the boxes. You looked around at your unused apartment. You decided not to take any of your belongings with you since you knew Talon wasnt your permentat home and anything could happen. You proceded to reset the security system and then you and Reaper headed back to the car.
