Monster

You and Reaper left the safety of your room when you heard that the Talon soldiers where returning that evening. You and he went out into the open courtyard and huddled under a roof covering the walkway as you watched the rain pour down out in the open. You looked next to you at Reaper who now wore his mask again but one of his glowing red eyes peered out through the huge hole left from McCree's bullet, you gave him a little smile as you moved closer to him, you shivered from the cold rainy evening air and you wished he could warm you like he use to. 

"Does it hurt?" You said eyeballing the black mist forming off his body. 

"Yes, it's a chronic pain and somedays I wish I could off myself......but I can't, I am left on this earth to suffer for an eternity." He said with a low sad growl. 

You frowned and turned him to face you, "Well I wish I could suffer with you for an eternity, I could maybe make it less sufferable." 

You heard an angry growl behind his mask, he took your arm and gripped it so tightly you let out a little whimper "Don't ever wish that again!" He snapped. Your eyes widened with a sad understanding and gave a little nod. Reaper let go of your arm and let out a little sigh "I want you to have a life without suffering" 

You knew deep down that you could never escape your fate, it would be filled with war, pain, and suffering of you and the ones you held close. 

  You looked at Reaper and planned to voice your thoughts but Reaper walked off into the rain, you tried to call out to him to come back but he continued out into the courtyard and you soon followed leaving your rifle against the wall in the walkway. The rain made you shiver more, you looked up to Reaper who was looking up at the rain as it fell onto his mask but soon he removed his mask revealing his damaged face. "What are you doing?" You asked.

"I can't feel small things like rain on my skin, all these small senses that make a person feel alive have been taken from me." He lowered his head and now was looking at you with his sad eyes. You didn't know how to respond to such a statement "I love you" was all that you managed to say. He brought his taloned hand to your face and began stroking your cheek, he was about to say something but nothing ever came out and instead, he swatted at his neck as if a mosquito had bitten him. He gasped as he felt his neck, you looked in alarm at his neck that now had a dart in it, before he could say anything he began to sway before slowly falling but you managed to catch him before he hit the ground "Gabriel!" You yelled as you looked at him in panic, his eyes were wide but they soon began to shut and he fell unconscious in your arms. You gently laid him on the ground and was about to dart to your rifle you left leaning against the wall in the walkway but you were stopped, a pair of strong arms wrapped around you and you began to kick and yell "I'll fucking kill you!" You shouted at the unknown owner of those muscular giant arms. 

The strong arms tightened but not in a painful way, the unknown man had a gentleness about him. Finally, you caught a glimpse of who held you "lieutenant Wilhelm?" You softly said in confusion, you haven't seen the man in nearly six years, you stopped kicking and squirming.

"I haven't been a lieutenant in eight years, you can just call me Reinhardt" He chuckled. He loosened his grip but didn't let you go and instead put handcuffs on you, you gasped from the cold metal meeting your flesh. "I-I don't understand?" You said confused, but soon you watched as McCree, Ana, and the small British girl that attacked you the other day walking over to you. "I am sorry y/n.....this must be done," Reinhardt said with a true sadness in his voice. McCree looked down at the still unconscious Reaper and laughed, you clenched your fists. "Don't touch him, Jesse!" You warned Jesse's eyes met yours and narrowed, "What kind of monster did Reyes become" He smirked as he attempted to annoy you more. Reinhardt walked over to Reaper and picked him up, soon the others were escorting you to an old Overwatch dropship, an MV-261 Orca, last time you were on one of these was around eight years ago before the Swiss base blew up and Reyes was a man.
