Back at Gibraltar around 10:00 am

"(Y/N)...(Y/N)...(Y/N)!" Brigitte says as she shakes you awake. You look around and see an empty drop ship. "Looks like someone was a little overworked today." she says with a smile. "Come on. Everyone else already got off and got their day started." You grab your gear and head to your cage to store it away. After taking off your armor, Brig peaks her head through the doorway.

"Everyone else is in the mess hall grabbing something to eat. Let's hurry." The two of you break into a light jog to make it before the food gets low. Arriving, you see the group of agents from last night's mission all sitting around with their plates stacked high with food. You grab some eggs, bacon, and some fruit and grab a seat at the table.

"I got to give it to you partner." McCree says as he rests his hand on your shoulder, "That was some quick thinking out there." 

"Thanks, but if it wasn't for Pharah it would not have worked. By the way, how is she doing? Did Mercy get her all healed up?' you ask the table.

"Oh don't worry love, Angela took good care of her." Tracer giggles. You give her a slightly confused look. "Oh you don't know? Let's just say...there may be some love in the 'air'." You roll your eyes at her awful pun as the group continues to chow down and talk about the next move.  

"So has there been any progress with our two new visitors?" Genji asks from the end of the table. Almost on cue, Morrison and Winston enter through the doors and make their way to the table.

"We may have come to an agreement with our two guests." The scientists says in a cheery tone. "Tomorrow we will go over more of the specifics of the plan that we are putting together with them."

"Until then, rest up. We do not know how long we have until Null Sector moves their operation or changes their security and mess up our plan. Dismissed!" The old soldiers turns quickly and makes his way out of the mess hall as Winston sticks around to chat for a bit with the group of you. 

The day continues on as normal. After breakfast, you go to train with Reinhardt, Genji, and Brigitte and work on close quarters combat with them. After rounds of sparring matches, Reinhardt lets you two leave as Genji goes to meditate.

"I am telling you two, it is a great way to clear your mind." he says as the three of you exit the training room.

"Maybe another time. I have to go work on my armor after the beating it took." you say to him. "And Brig and I said we would repair the damage that Pharah's Raptor suit took."

"Well, I will see you two later." he bows and quickly runs off down the hall and across the base. You and Brigitte walk hand in hand until you reach the workshop. You throw your armor onto the table to start to tinker away at it. 

After a few hours

"Damn, you really put this thing through hell huh?" Brigitte says from the front side of the stand that is holding up your armor. 

"Yeah well, someone has to take the brunt of the damage." you say with a chuckle after throwing up welding face shield. You look around and see her adjusting the metal plating that protects the front of your stomach. With her hair pulled up into a messy ponytail, grease smeared across her face and arms, and her eyes glistening as she works, you couldn't think of a more beautiful sight.

"You see something you like bud?" she says as she catches you staring at her. She giggles as she sets down a wrench and comes over and sits in your lap while draping her arms around your neck. "Don't worry, I am all yours so I don't mind." she says before pulling you into a kiss. You both pull back and smile at each other. She takes your face shield off and ruffles your hair with a giggle.
