Each Other's Shield: Brigitte x Reader

Chapter 6: Where It All Began

To begin, I want to again thank you all for reading. I know I just had an A/N expressing this but the support this story has received honestly brings a great deal of joy to me. I am currently going through a very rough time in my life and creating this story has helped me more than I ever thought it would. Writing has provided me an escape from the life I live and I have to admit that I do this to envision myself as the hero in this story and I hope that you are able to do so and escape any demons that you may be battling. Love to you all! 

11 pm Gibraltar time (look I have no clue how the time change from Seattle to Gibraltar would work so just roll with it)

"Now entering: Watchpoint Gibraltar" you open your eyes as you hear Athena's announcement over the intercom. Brigitte rubs her head against your shoulder and she and everyone else on the drop ship starts to wake up after the long flight. You look down at her and she smiles back up at you.

"We are finally back" she says sleepily. The ships land and she grabs your hand and pulls you out of the drop ship and onto that base where you lived for a chunk of your life. Winston lumbers over to you.

"(Y/N), the drop ships filled with refugees have all been sent to our base in northern California where they will work to help them relocate. You did a great thing, (Y/N). We are all so proud of the hero that you have become and are thrilled that you will be joining Overwatch." You give him a tired smile.

"Thanks big guy. Hey can you show me where me room is? I want to get out of this armor." you say with a chuckle.

"Haha...about that." he says with a smile, "So your room is still be renovated after the recall...but I am sure that you would not mind shacking up with Brigitte for the time being." You turn to Brig and see her and Tracer giggling and a guilty smile comes across their faces, giving the impression that they had a hand in this.

"Rest up and I will see you later." Winston says patting your back. You feel Brigitte start to drag you towards the living quarters and to your room.

Sleep well love." Tracer giggles.

At the room

"And here we are." she says cheerfully. She leads you into the room and shows you around. The living room is fully furnished with a big L shaped couch looking towards and entertainment system and fireplace. The living room leads into the full stocked kitchen.

"Come on I will show you the rest of the place." She shows you around the rest of the living area and how everything is set up. You both clean up after a long day. After a much needed shower, you find Brig in the kitchen cooking some chicken, rice, and broccoli for the both of you. The two of you sit down and dig into a hot meal after a long day.

"So uhhh...I will just uh...sleep on the couch then?" you ask her as you are cleaning up the dishes.

"I mean...if you really REALLY want to..but it does get cold here at night." she giggles.

"Yeah well I just didn't want to intrude and if you..." she comes up behind you and wraps her arms around your waist. You feel your face getting warm and your heart racing.

"Trust me" she says softly. "it is more than fine." you feel her wrap her arms tighter around you and hear her yawn. "Can you carry me to bed?" You smile to yourself.

"Alright climb on." She hops onto your back and drapes her arms around your neck. You carry her to the bed room where she hops off and then tackles you into the bed. She laughs as she starts to wrestle with you. You quickly wrap her up and hold her tight as she continues to laugh and tries to tickle you.
