My Guardian Angel (a Mercy76 story)

First mission preparation

Angela had been put into a mission when she was ready. It was about a week or two after she got her suit. Her staff was given to her by Torbjörn, exactly how she wanted it. She was comfortable in this suit and with her ability. Jack knocked on the door to her room and waited for her to open the door. She was way more comfortable with him than before. She opened the door to him and closed it after he entered her room. "Are you nervous for your first mission?" He asked her. She nodded and shook her shoulders. "Yeah, just a little bit." She sighed. She was thinking about everything and bit her lip. "Is it supposed to feel like I'm about to die?" Jack chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, you're only nervous. It'll get better when you're done with the mission." They looked each other in the eyes for a second in silence. "I- I should make an announcement to the team." She said, starting to walk out of her room. Before she could reach her door, her arm was grabbed by the man. He pulled her in a raised an eyebrow. She knew exactly what it meant. She nodded to him and he grinned. Their faces got closer and after a second, Jack placed his lips upon hers. She didn't fight him like she fought Gabriel. She only pushed him away to take a breath. The push didn't get him away, just stopped them. "Isn't this against the rules. You know, a commander and a soldier? Well, a medic, but still." The man didn't answer. He hesitated before saying "you need to make that announcement. Just don't get mad at them. They are nervous for you. They care for you." He said. He let her go and straightened her suit. She rolled her eyes like a child. "It's fine. Besides, you should do that to your own uniform. Look at it. It's wrinkled all over." She was being sarcastic. She walked to the door and looked back at him. "Are you coming with me or do I have to make this announcement alone?" She asked him. It wasn't saying anything between them. It was just an announcement she had to make. Jack also had to speak. The normal briefing would have to go on.

The announcement time came. It was right before the team set out on the mission. Jack did his normal briefing of the team. Angela looked around and realized Gabriel wasn't there. She was confused but said nothing of him. She knows he is a commander of his own thing. Ziegler stood up and began to speak. "If anyone needs any assistance, please tell me. Silence will not help anyone. I can't read minds so tell me. Even if it's a scratch. Sometimes scratches are more than meet the eye. So please, please call for me. I'll be to you when I can be." She looked back at Jack who was silently agreeing. "There are medics everywhere. Please call one of us. We are here to help you." She finished what she was saying and walked away. They all had a few minutes before they started their mission. Just to prepare themselves. Angela had let Jack be for some time. She knew missions always stressed him out. She had been walking around, checking on everyone before she felt a presence behind her. She turned around with her hand on her gun in reflex. It was Gabriel. She jumped at the sight of him. She swore in her language. "Gabriel you can't just sneak up on me like that." He raised an eyebrow at her. Her hand was still on her gun. "Well were you going to shoot me?" He asked her as a test. "I could've if I-" he cut her off. "Your reaction was too slow. Always have it ready." She was wondering what he was doing. "I thought you were on a mission with your team." She made it sound like a question. "We aren't always out when on missions. Sometimes we go with you to help Overwatch out a bit." He looked at her. He could see that she was having a rough time. "Breathe. You're nervous. Just breathe." She listened. The weight on her stomach lifted a bit. How could he tell? "Just keep breathing. Doc, I'm here for you if you need someone." She looked at him and smiled. "Thank you Gabriel." She said those words before getting a two minute warning. "I need to get going. Can't mess up my first mission." She hugged him and walked away towards the direction of the plane to take them to their objective.
