You looked down at Reaper or as you now discovered Gabriel. His once warm chocolate skin was now pale and the warmth was gone, he had scars and burns decorating his face. On one cheek there was a hole allowing his teeth to be visible and his teeth were now sharp like a canine and occasionally black smoke would rise from the hole and his lips.  You looked at his hair and goatee which were still dark brown but now grey hairs were scattered about it. You tried to calm yourself down and avoid throwing up from shock. You had to get Reaper inside because if Overwatch showed up it would be game over.

You had to drag him back to your room but it was very difficult since he was such a big man. It took you a little over twenty minutes but you were finally in your room and you successfully dragged him to your bed. You pulled you computer chair over and sat facing him, you would spend the next hour looking at the broken mask in your hands and watching your 'dead' lover fast asleep in your bed. You soon nearly jumped out of your chair as he began to stir and growl, soon his head turned towards you and his eyes slowly opened, his caramel eye color is gone and is now replaced with two blood red glowing eyes, even the whites of his eyes were changed into a deep black.  

You watched as his eyes widened at the broken mask in your hands, you narrowed your eyes at him in a mix of emotions but you were angrier than anything. You stood up and began pacing a little while looking at him and back to the mask, Reaper stayed quiet in shock but now was sitting on the edge of your bed.

You finally stopped pacing and turned to him with an angry frown. "You lied to me for eight long years Gabriel, eight years where I suffered and soon broke!" You spat in rage. Reaper didn't respond but you saw the guilt on his face. "Why would you do that to me!" You yelled as you stood grabbed his collar pulling him up onto his feet. "Answer me you son of a bitch!" You growled as you pushed him away from you. 

"I have become a monster...I didn't think you would still love me so I decided it was best that I was dead" His eyes seemed to be filled with some sort of sadness and regret.

You chuckle a little at his response "And yet here I am, in love with the monster before I even knew who he really was" The anger began to reside and soon happiness and sadness remained. You darted into his arms and they wrapped around you.  "I love you Gabriel...and I also love Reaper." His arms tightened around you "I love you too" he whispered. You let go and stepped away to get a good look at him again, it was like Reaper and Gabriel were separate people but yet the same. 

You heard your radio start to make static and soon you heard Sombra, "Hola, you guys need help?"

Reaper walked over to the radio. "Overwatch knew...they killed all our soldiers." 

"Oh what are you doing in y/n room" She chuckled 

"None of your business Sombra,...bring everyone back to base within the next day" Reaper growled before slamming it on the table, you heard Sombra say more but Reaper ignored her. 

Reaper sighed and rubbed his temple, before walking over to his broken mask that was sitting on the bed. "well that came close to my head" 

"Yeah I thought for a second you were dead" You sighed 

Reaper just chuckled "takes more than that to kill me"

"What happened to you, like to become this?"

Reaper turned to face you "Moira" 

He only needed one word to sum it up, you didn't press the question. 

"Well, I am glad you are alive or what ever you are" You gave a little smile.  

Reaper sat down on your bed before giving  you a serious look, "He will come back, all of them." 

You nodded your head, you for a few moments forgot about McCree.
