Regrets

The beginning of the car ride was very quiet except the sound of the radio on low, you took nice country roads back.  You looked over at the killer at the wheel who was focused on the road, you couldn't imagine driving with that mask on was very safe but what did you care. You decided you would break the silence. 

"What happened to you, like before you could turn into mist?" You asked as you stared out the window at the scenery. 

"Science experiment gone wrong" He sighed. 

"Any regrets before this happened to you" You were now looking at him.

"Letting this happen to begin with I guess, what about you any regrets before becoming a hitman." He growled and turned towards you for a brief second before turning back to the road. 

You looked down at your hands on your lap, you had so many but one stood out. "I never told Gabriel I loved him, maybe it would have saved him," You said with a sadness.

"Save him?" Reaper tilted his head.

"He was going down a destructive path and we could all see it" You looked back out the window wanting to think about something else, you could hear Reaper sigh. You both went back into silence before Reaper spoke up again to try to comfort you which was really weird.

"I am sure he loved you back," He said with a low growl that almost sounded human for once.

A few hours later and you were back at the base, you parted with Reaper because of a meeting he had with Doomfist about the upcoming assault on Overwatch. 

You went to your room and sat down at your computer, you had two messages. The first one was from Sombra, she hacked the security cameras you thought was erased from the robbers. You played the video she sent with the message. It was of two masked people, they easily bypassed all of your security measures, when they were in they really made sure to keep it clean, they went through everything and then put it back. You watched as they found the Blackwatch box, they stuffed all of the documents into their duffle bags. You frowned, this didn't give you much to work with. 

You decided to look at your other message, it was from McCree, you sighed and opened it. 

"GET OUT OF THE TALON BASE ASAP!" 

A strange message was it a warning or a demand, you couldn't tell but it really put you on edge. You messaged him back.

 "What is going on McCree" 

You would have to wait to find out, you needed to get your mind off of it in the meantime. You decided to watch some T.V shows or some movies in bed to get your mind off of it, you haven't chilled in a while. 

You got into your nightshirt and snuggled up in bed and turned on an old classic that your grandma would watch. An hour in and you heard the sound of Reapers mist coming into your room.  You paused the movie and glared over at the mist that was forming the shape of Reaper, Reaper walked over to you. You didn't say anything you just patted the bed next to you, as commanded he crawled over you and laid down next to you. 

"Only 10 Talon soldiers and you and I will be here the next few days, so security will be on a low. They will be leaving tonight" 

You tilted your head in slight confusion.

He began to clarify more "We need as many men as possible to set up camp near the Overwatch hideout" 

You nodded your head in understanding. You looked at him as you raised the remote at the projector "Then you probably should stay the night with me" You gave him a little wink as you pressed play. Reaper gave a little growl but he didn't say no.  

Throughout the movie, you found your self cuddling into him and he never rejected it, he would even move a little so you could get closer and stay more comfortable, though it was hard with his bulky armor. Laying there with your head on his chest you could hear his slow breathing. 

You soon fell asleep cuddled up next to him.
