Gabriel's POV

"Lena Oxton?" I looked down at a piece of paper in front of me picking up my cup and taking a sip of coffee. I tossed her file on the desk and looked up at McCree. "So this is the new goodie two shoes?" McCree nodded and Gabe sighed. "Hm," I opened up my desk keyboard and pulling up a clip of Lena in Kings Row. McCree raised an eyebrow at me commander.

"Sir?"

"You are dismissed," McCree chuckled as he began exiting the room, but he stopped at the door.

"You want to get your girl back?" I just let out sigh as he proceeded.

"Lena.." I closed my eyes. I remember when she first joined Overwatch, she was so young and naive..

2 Years Ago

"Are you sure this is right?" I asked Morrison as he flipped through the forms.

"Yes, she gave consent."

"Her parents?" Morrison sighed.

"She is an orphan, she had no guardian. She has only lived up the streets prior to being here." I gripped my chin slightly.

"She looks well groomed, how can some from the streets look like this?" I raised a brow at him and he just chuckled.

"She seemed to have done good deeds all around, I guess people were nice enough to give her a helping hand."

"Are you guys fully sure that she will be ok?"

"Well, I believe so." I couldn't stand to look at him. He handed me the files, "It will be starting soon, will you be there? We might make history." He flashed a smile at me.

"Okay," we headed out outside Overwatch headquarters and saw waves of scientists and agents. A man approached me and Morrison.

"We are ready to test the Slipstream." Morrison nodded and stepped up the microphone.

"Good Morning. Today we make history," he smiled to the crowd and motioned for the young lady to come on stage. I felt a sick feeling in my stomach. I watched as she stepped up on the stage, she was very beautiful. "This here is the young girl that will change history, Lena Oxton!" the crowd clapped and she just had the biggest grin. It was very contagious it almost was hard for me not to smile. "Now Miss Oxton, are you ready?" She nodded. He guided her to the Slipstream. A few photographers took pictures of her. She looked absolutely cute. Ugh, I have to be sick to think that. I watched as she placed on her helmet and the count down commenced. "Here we go everyone." I watched as everything started up. It was very loud as the crowd cheered.

"Ugh, I am going back inside." I told Morrison and he nodded. I walked inside and heard the jet take off. I walked over to the small radio sitting on the receptionist desk.

"Today marks a day in history. We are about to phone in, "Miss Oxton can you hear us?"

"Y-Yeah!"

"Can you-"

"G-Guys? Um there is something wrong!"

"What?" I listened in closely. "Are you ok?"

"I-I don't understand what is going on?" I looked outside the window and saw everyone panicking.

"We lost connection with her. Wait. The Slipstream is plummeting into the ground!" I ran towards the door and watched in horror as it rammed into the earth.

1 Year Later

"Monkey," I growled at him.

"What is it Gabe?" the monkey turned towards me.

"What are you doing here?"

"Testing, something, apparently there is some mysterious frequency coming through so I have been trying to figure out what it is." I walked up to the glass chamber in front of the monkey. I peaked inside and saw something flash.

"Wait!"

"What is it?" I opened up the chamber, "H-Hey you just can't go in there, you have to get out." I closed the door behind me and I felt something on my chest. I heard a microphone screech. "Gabriel?" I heard the monkey's voice on the intercom. "What is it? Are you ok?"

"I am fine!" I felt something hard against my chest again.

"H-Help."

"That voice," it felt like arms wrapped around me and when I looked down I saw Lena Oxton. "Lena!"

"H-Help me, please. I am lost" She was phasing in and out in front of me. I held her close, but it wasn't enough.

"Winston!" I yelled towards him.

"I know I see it! It looks like she is stuck in time," she came into my arms again.

"W-Who are you?" I looked into her eyes she looked as if she has been crying her whole life.

"My name is Gabriel Reyes." She disappeared again.

"The frequency is gone..." the monkey said and I sighed. I walked out the room closing the door behind me. "I think I got a solution, but it may take awhile.

"Well hurry and make it happen." I looked back at the room, Don't worry Lena. I will not let Morrison ruin another life.

The Next Day

"Hello Monkey," He just waved at me.

"She is in there," I nodded at him and walked into the room.

"Lena?" I felt her press against my chest.

"Mister Reyes! I am just glad to see ya again!" She changed a lot ever since yesterday.

"Please, call me Gabriel." I sat down on the floor and she joined me.

"I gotcha Gabe!" I just smiled at her.

"Winston is going to help you, ok?" She nodded delightfully. "I will comeback every day until he does..." she disappeared.

The Next Day

"Gabe.. Please hold me. I want to feel anchored down." I was hesitant at first, but let her into my arms. She was solid, it felt nice.

"It's ok," she disappeared.

The Next Day

I was very excited to figure out that Winston made a device that could help Lena. As I walked in I noticed Morrison was inside the chamber. "What is going on?" I asked Winston.

"Morrison is just glad that she is alive," I walked up to the door and saw a physical form of Lena hugging Morrison. I felt something heavy on my chest. I watched them come towards the door and I was greeted by Morrison first.

"You did well. Lena has decided to join Overwatch." He smiled and walked away. I was next greeted by Lena, she had the biggest smile on her face, but I saw what was hanging around her.

"Is that heavy?" she shook her head and hugged me.

"Thank you, luv.." I tightened my grip around her.

Present Day

"Reyes," I greeted as I walked into the control room and saw Angela, Lena, Torbjorn, and Reinhardt on the screen. "How is their mission going so far?" I sat beside Ana looking through some papers.

"So far they are all doing well, including Miss Oxton herself." I watched her closely reaching for my headset. I watched as they powered up the payload.

"Good job team!" Amari yelled, I looked through the notes that McCree sent me. I spoke into my mic.

"Reyes here, I just received Blackwatch intelligence that there are heavy null sectors inside the power station. Expect the worse." I watched as Lena was dashing around destroying robots. I felt so proud of her. "She really is holding herself up well." I looked over at Morrison and he had a big smile on his face.

"Yes she is." They reached the Power stations door.

"Get that door open now! The power levels are peaking!" The team nodded in confirmation and proceeded into the building. "We detected a massive power surge inside the plant. They seem to be trying to blow up the whole area."

"What are your orders, sir?" Reinhardt replied.

"Focus only on those OR14s. They are priority number one. Take them out!" Reinhardt charged into one of the OR14s taking it out instantly. I watched then as Lena rushed around killing another OR14s. Minutes later they were all destroyed and I smiled at the victory.

"Good job team, we are sending an airship to your destination." Morrison sighed and fell back into his seat. "They did it." I nodded, they did. I waited by the docks for the ship to land along side Morrison and Amari. "They deserve a bit of a break after that mission. I have proved hot meals and warm blankets for their return." The airship was in the distance. I felt myself become impatient. I get to see her again. As it landed and they all came off one by one. I saw her.

"Gabe?" She looked shocked and then blinked to hug me. "I haven't seen ya in awhile!"

"I know, I have been busy," I heard a throat clear.

"Inappropriate behavior," Morrison walked up to us and grabbed Lena's shoulder. "Cadet Oxton we have a warm meal for you. Come with me." I watched as they walked away and Genji approached me.

"Inappropriate behavior?" Genji shook his head and walked away.

"Ugh.." I face palm. I am so sick of Morrison keeping me from her. He kept me away for over a year, but why? "Such a long day," I had my hands in my pocket and walked back to my room, but I ran into Lena.

"Oh, Gabe," she gave a faint smile.

"Hi, Lena.. I am glad you came back safe from your mission."

"Really? Heck I am just glad to see ya again!" She hugged me and I hugged her back. "I may not known you for long.. but it felt like forever before." I didn't want to let her go at all.

"I do not mean to be inappropriate, but would you like to come to my room?" She looked shocked, but then grabbed my hand.

"Well, lets go!" I guided her to my room and as we entered. She just giggled.

"What?" She just guided me to my couch.

"It is nothing, you are very clean!" I chuckled lightly, I laid down on my couch and she crawled on top of me. I wrapped my arms around her tight and she sighed softly. "I missed this.."

"I did too.." I felt something heavy on my chest again.
