Chapter 10: Welcome back
Everyone stood frozen on what they heard. Staring at the little girl at shock. Did... Did she just?
"...Mia... You.. Spoke" Mercy could not believe her ears. After all this time. Mia, their little girl, only spoke to defend the enemy.
"No. Please don't hurt them Mama" one normal circumstances she would have leaped in joy on hearing her calling her that. But now is not the time.
"Mia can't be serious. They kidnapped you and want to defend? Why?" 76 was confused beyond reason. Why would she do this? The girl took a deep breathe.
"Dad they also saved me remember? Not to mention they were all so nice to be with and Papi was the one who called you guys" she reasoned.
"Who's Papi?" Junkrat asked scratching his head. Mia pointed to Reaper. They, except Widowmaker and Sombra, gave him a incredulous look, Jack was giving him a heated glare, Gabriel was just smirking him under his mask.
"No Mia" his answer was final but she would have none of it. She just glared harder before she looked to her Mama, unlce Torbjorn, Opa, and uncle Jesse.
"I saw a picture of you guys in Papi's room and he told he he was in Overwatch as well" they, as well as Jack, Pharah and Ana, were shocked to hear that. Gabriel told her?
"Just give them a chance to make up for what they did. I saw them in action and I know they are just the people Overwatch needs" she looked directly at Mercy who felt nervous.
"After all, the world could always use more heroes. Right Mama?" Mercy gulped audibly, she suddenly wished she hadn't said that.
Jack was thinking this over. They did save her, but after everything they did especially Gabriel. He thinking of putting in prison, but remembered the good times, especially before getting picked to be strike commander, they were best friends. He missed those times with him. Not to mention, now that Doomfist gotten stronger, at least they had some intel on him as well as his formerly best agents at their side. Jack sighed heavily.
"We'll make sure there still room back in base, and hopefully you still have you're room Gabe" with that he turned and walked away. They stared at him shocked on what he said. Ana quickly walked beside him.
"Jack are you sure this is a good thing?"
"We need more soldiers Ana" he said without stopping or looking at her. "Things are getting worst for us and we need more help" the old Egyptian gave him a look.
"Or you miss those old times with Gabriel" he didn't respond.
Mia, meanwhile was beaming brightly. She felt so relieved that he agreed, she knows there maybe some... Problems later. But she's confident that it will all end well. She was about to go when she felt some one holding her back. She turned back to find her Papi.
"Now.. About that finger thing."
She gulped.
~~~~~~
After that ear painful lecture, they were back in base and Mia wanted nothing more to be back in her room and on her bed. But her plans were ruined when a pair of hands picked her up by a familiar figure.
"Now you talk now Mimi let's get to know each other better" with that D.va ran all the way to the little girl's room. Followed by Lucio, Junkrat, and Tracer.
They all watched them carry the little girl. They were all glad Mia could finally talk, sure it was to defend them, but still.
Reaper panted slightly from the long lecture he gave to Mia. He still couldn't believe Mia done this, truly this girl was remarkable. Sombra and Widowmaker thought so too.
"I cannot believe this is actually happening" the hacker commented. Widowmaker and Reaper nodded, after they served Talon only to betray it to joined Overwatch.
"Might as well get used to it" Widowmaker said. But they were stop short, the rest of the Overwatch team were in their way, with matching looks of distrust.
"Just because ya'll now working with us, doesn't me trust you yet" Jesse said before continuing "And if you dare break Mia's heart-"
"Never" it sounded so firm and confident even they had to believe them.
~~~~~
Mia sat at her bed, while the rest of her surrounded her. All with expecting gazes, it made her intimidated in a way.
"Well?.." Tracer started. Mia raised a brow.
"Well, what?" they nearly squealed. Her voice is so cute! It sounded soft, but still hearable.
"So Mia tell us more about you're self" D.va said flopping herself on the bed. Mia sheepishly rubbed her arm.
"I don't know if there is anything to talk about actually" she admitted.
"Just tell us a more about yourself okay?" the DJ said. Mia thought it over before nodding.
She told them the little things such as her birthday and her favorite things. Then, she told them about her passion in alchemy, how her sister told her to continue her research.
Mia felt sad about talking about her sister. She missed Maya so much, and her parents as well. Her older siblings quickly noticed this and comforted her.
"Hey hey, don't sad Mimi, I'm sure they would be proud of you" Tracer said putting a hand on her shoulder.
She smiled at the gesture and they all continues to talk until it was time for dinner.
~~~~~~~
For the next few days were good for the the trio, except the part where everyone treated them like ticking bombs.
"Papi!"
Well almost...
Zenyatta came floating to them with Mia on his lap. Being the peaceful Omnic he is, Zenyatta already accepted them. Reaper chuckled as carried Mia out of his arms.
"Hello princesa" he said kissing her cheek. She giggled and snuggled up to him. Gabriel was thankful for the Omnic. He was able to mediate with the rest of them.
"How are you my friend?" ask Zenyatta.
"Fine I guess.."
"Do not worry. They will trust you, only time will tell."
As much as Reaper wanted say they wouldn't, he hopes they do. He gave Mia a pat on the head before setting her down she walked back to Zenyatta, the Omnic carried her again and floated away.
Reaper made his way to the shooting grounds, which was thankfully empty. He really didn't feel like interacting with other people right now. He grabbed his shotguns and started. Each shot felt like the tension was leaving his body and becoming more relaxed as he continued. He was so focused he didn't hear someone entering.
After running out of bullets he tucked away his shot guns and cracked his knuckles.
"Still a great shot as always" a familiar voice behind him said.
Gabriel turned to see Jack in a basic plain white t-shirt, grey sweatpants and white shoes. He also noticed that he removed his mask, he couldn't read his expression but there was a hint of nostalgia there.
"What is it?" If he wanted to pick a fight then he had to get in line with rest of them.
"Just wanted to talk to you old friend" he answered.
"Last time I checked you didn't considered a friend since the fall of Overwatch" Reaper retorted. 76 let out a heavy sigh.
"I just wanted to say.... I'm sorry."
That certainly took him by surprise, he wasn't expecting that.
"For what?"
"For everything I did back then. For not giving you enough credit, taking away the position of commander, and reprimanding you're actions even though they had good intentions."
Reaper was lucky he had a mask on because he was jaw dropped. That was certainly unexpected.
"Is this some kind of trick?" 76 shaked his head.
"No. No trick Gabe and if I'm being honest I miss the good times we had" he answered then chuckled.
"I remember that time in Halloween where you dressed as pumpkin - headed monster" Reaper chuckled along with him.
"Yeah those were good times" he said taking off his mask. His eyes showed humor and nostalgia. Then there was small glint of mischief in Jack's eyes.
"So.. Are you still open on designing on our official uniforms?" He just glared at the former commander.
"No."
"Okay, okay I'll be going now" he said walking back to the entrance but stopped shortly.
"Oh yeah. One more thing Gabe."
He then threw something at him. Reaper caught it with no struggle, when he opened his palm he couldn't believe his eyes.
It was a badge. His old Overwatch emblem badge to be precise.
"Welcome back Gabe."
Author's note: Hi everyone I am so sorry for such a long hiatus. So many things came up and I hadn't had any inspiration..... And I've been too lazy too. Sorry. But I'll keep doing this book but not as much because my classes are starting. But I hope you enjoy this chapter.
