Merciful Hearts (Genji x Mercy)

Angela

It was another late night in the lab when Angela was not nursing she would find her self-working on her nanotechnology. It took her mind off current events. Her hands ran through her silky hair as she groaned due to the nanobots still refusing to work.

"You know you are allowed to leave. Most people do when they have worked their shift." A voice came from behind her. Angela looked behind her and saw a thin man who she identified as her foster brother.

"How do you know my shift has ended" Angela responded.

"James told me you finished two hours ago"

"Well, I will finish when I'm done," Angela replied.

"Would a birthday present change your mind?"

Angela stood up with a smile big enough to fall off her face. She was now nineteen, still four years younger than her foster brother as he constantly reminded her.

"Happy birthday, sis."

"Thank you, Sam," Angela said as she accepted the present. Angela opened the rectangular present trying not to rip the wrapping paper. Angela saw a simple photo under the wrapping paper yet it was one of the most important photos she could have ever had.

It was a picture of Angela's mother and father both had one hand on a 6-year-old Angela. Angela closed her eyes trying to bring herself back to when the photo was taken but she had no memory of it.

"Had it been that long? I can't even recall the day it was taken." Angela thought to her self.

"Are you okay Angela?" Sam asked. Worry and concern drowned his voice.

"Thank you so much, Sam. This really means a lot to me." Angela threw her arms around her foster brother and he also returned the hug.

"So will you leave your nano-things one night so you can enjoy your birthday?" Sam asked Angela.

One birthday later Angela found her self in a similar situation as last night. She would think she had made some progress until her nanobots broke down in front of her. She would sigh and try again. For the past few weeks, Angela lived by this cycle...Until her boss said someone from Overwatch was here to see her.

Angela made her way over to the stairs, she could have taken the elevator but she needed an excuse to feel healthy. Angela did not know why she felt so nervous she had talked to Overwatch agents before. They most likely came to tell her how her foster brother was doing.(Her foster brother worked at Overwatch.) Angela made her way to the office. She could make out two Overwatch agents through the window, the bright blue uniform gave it away.

Angela took a deep breath as though it might be her last and proceeded to knock on the door to the office. It took three seconds then the door opened.

"Good Afternoon Dr Ziegler please come in." A young man said. He was clearly an Overwatch agent. Angela walked into the room to see a higher ranked agent or so Angela thought as he wore a slightly different uniform to the other two agents.

"Take a seat doctor." The higher ranked agent said.

"Is this about Sam?" Angela said sitting down.

"No." The agent said. "This is will be about you, doctor" He handed her a file with the name Head of medical research. Angela flicked through it. Angela soon came to realize that Overwatch was offering her a job. They clearly wanted her progress with nano-bots and nano-biology. She stopped when she saw the budget in the research and development. Angela hand not known her mouth was open from the shock.

"The things I could do with this amount of money." Angela thought. The agent clearly knew Angela was impressed.

"We have seen the progress you have made with nano-biology and we believe you could do a lot more with more staff and a bigger budget. Overwatch is willing to offer that. Do not worry your brother mentioned you had a moral code, not to kill, and in Overwatch, you will be doing quite the opposite. We leave in a week so we need your decision by Friday.When you come to a decision our number is in the file." The agent said.
