It didn’t take him long to find something she would consider a treat, but when he came back into the room, he frowned. Of course. He shouldn’t have left her. “Get up and get your “treat” and give me back my blankets. I’m going back to bed.”

[ ♆ ]      “Give me the treat! Also no. Mine.” She gave him a grabby hand gesture from within the blankets, alongside the cheekiest of smirks. This is what happens when you take in the devil, he dug himself this hole and she’s just making sure he lies in it. Cruelty shuffled back further onto his bed and sticks her tongue out at him.

[blxckwxtchcommander]

Gabriel narrowed his eyes as he stared at her, treat in hand. “No. Get up and get it.” The idea was that when she got up, if she got up, he could steal his blankets back. He held out the bright red pepper to her, showing that it was in a sandwich bag so that it didn’t contaminate his hands.

“Jesus fucking Christ fine!” And he was up now, throwing the blankets off as he got off the bed. “And stop hitting me!” He exclaimed, throwing his hands up before moving to leave the room. “Fucking demon having me get her a damn treat at three in the morning…” He grumbled under his breath.

[ ♆ ]      “Give me a-…. yay~!” The devil’s tail waved behind her excitedly, a big grin forming on her face. She was a little upset he didn’t take her with him, instead leaving her to sit upon his bed in anticipation. Happy devil noises! She also proceeded to steal his blankets, wrapping them all around herself except for her face and horns.

“Get your own treat damn it!” He exclaimed trying to slap her hand away. It was too early for this and he had not had enough sleep to properly deal with the demon. “You got legs! Use ‘em!”

[ ♆ ]      “….. GIVE ME A TREAT!”  Now the devil smacked at him harder, he could yell all he wanted but Cruelty wasn’t going to go do it herself. The fridge was way too far away. If he carried her there she’d get it herself, but she’s not walking. Who needs legs these days?

[blxckwxtchcommander]

[ ♆ ]      “Give me a treat!” She’s going to continue slapping at his face, raising her voice louder. No Gabe, get her a treat, she’s not going to stop until you do.

[blxckwxtchcommander]

“Get your own treat damn it!” He exclaimed trying to slap her hand away. It was too early for this and he had not had enough sleep to properly deal with the demon. “You got legs! Use ‘em!”

[blxckwxtchcommander]

[ ♆ ] "GIVE ME A TREAT"

What? What the hell?! It was three in the morning?! Why the hell was she awake?! Gabriel tried batting the hand that was repeatedly slapping his face, causing him to sit upright in bed to try and fight her off. “Cruelty, it’s three in the fucking morning! You can get your own treat!”

Gabriel stared at her, trying to take in as much of her features as he could. He just couldn’t get enough of her and he was honestly afraid that if he looked away, she’d be gone again. So, he didn’t take his eyes off of her. He let his hand rest against her face, his thumb gently running along the mask she wore. Gabriel wished he could just take her away from all of this, remind her that things didn’t have to be this way, but he knew it couldn’t happen. Not without her making the first move. He could take her out of this environment as much as he wanted, but if she wasn’t ready to leave, or couldn’t leave, he knew she would always come back.

A small laugh escaped the super soldier at her words, his eyes drifting down to look at his injured foot. “I’m sure it will be fine. Besides, it will regenerate sooner or later, it just takes time to do so.” He admitted. “It’s like your staff but slower. Don’t worry about it.” Dark brown eyes lifted to meet hers, taking in how tired she looked. Yes, he would love to just steal her away right now, but he knew it wouldn’t work.

The sound of footsteps was suddenly registering to him, causing him to let out a quiet curse. What he hadn’t expected was for Angela to get between him and the soldier, taking the bullet for him. “Angela!” He cried, taking in her new injury. Suddenly, red was filling his vision as he sat up, one arm holding her protectively against him while the other raised, shotgun in hand as he pointed it at the Talon agent. There was no hesitation when he pulled the trigger, his brown eyes now taking on a red sheen as his lips curled back in a silent snarl. Gabriel watched as the soldier was suddenly dropping to the ground with a satisfying thud. Then, he was looking at the doctor. “I guess that’s a sign that I should leave. Don’t want you getting hurt on my behalf. Well, not again at least.” He muttered, his eyes now catching sight of her injured shoulder once more.

[ ☣ ]      “I’m okay, I’m fine… it’ll heal. Damn it….” The wound still hurt either way, no matter how fast it’d heal. Even with what happened with Overwatch, where she is now with Talon, Angela couldn’t help worrying over Gabriel. Her heart still ached knowing how she ended up here in the first place, but in the end she couldn’t let further harm come to him. She didn’t even want that soldier to be hurt, but it seemed there was nothing to stop Gabriel from gunning him down in that instant. What was she supposed to do here? Her loyalty ran with Talon, they saved her life, yet she still held strong feelings for the man in front of her.

[ ☣ ]      “I don’t care if I get hurt because of you, you…. you’re the one person it’s truly worth it for. Better my shoulder than your head. I know you thought you’d lost me, but…. I don’t know what I’d do if I lost you, either.” She was still alive, to a degree. If he were shot in the head just now, he wouldn’t be. The thought alone made the doctor hug him, as tightly as her newfound injury would allow. Her chin rested upon his shoulder, ensuring she didn’t peck him with the mask’s beak in the process. If listened to closely enough, it could be noted she was crying again, letting off short, hushed sobs.

[ ☣ ]      “I’m afraid I won’t see you again….. or worse. I thought I could do this, but….. god damn it, seeing your face again… I fucking missed you, Reyes. Please, tell me this isn’t the last time I’ll see you like this. I’m so sorry things had to go this way.” All because he went on this dumb mission, all because Angela was ordered to lead these troops into it. If Doomfist had just picked someone else, if anyone but Gabriel had come to do this, things could’ve been different. He wouldn’t have been hurt, and she wouldn’t be feeling this way. Then again, maybe for the latter’s sake it was a good thing. She still had an old friend, one she never wanted to let go again.

[blxckwxtchcommander]

Of course she would. She had that ability due to something to do with healing nanites or something. Still, he couldn’t help the worried look at her injury, seeing how it already looked a little better. If he hadn’t of been here, she wouldn't have gotten hurt, but then again, he wouldn’t have gotten to see her again, to make up for the mistake he had made. Now he was wishing he had only mortally wounded that Talon soldier, wanting them to suffer like she was, anything to make him feel even just a little better about the situation.

“Then promise me you won’t take a bullet for me again. I would rather get shot, and have a scar then think that I’ve lost you again.” Despite having just committed such a violent act, his voice was soft and gentle with her, his hand gently cupping her face once more, his eyes trying to look past the glass on the mask to see hers. They had been so blue before but, now the color was stunning. The hug was welcomed, his own arms wrapping protectively around her, one hand now gently rubbing her back. If he picked up on her crying, he said nothing about it, instead opting to just soothe her and let her know that he was there and that, for the most part, he was okay.

“I missed you too... Mi Amor.” Her words cut deep, making him want to hold her tighter against him, as if he never wanted to let go. But she was right, he knew how Talon was and once they think that someone is theirs, they’ll never let them go. So, Gabriel came up with another idea, one that would be less conspicuous then just coming to places like this to see each other where either one of them could get hurt. “I won’t let this be the last time.” He said, gently nuzzling his face into her hair. “How about this, we’ll set up a meeting place and attempt to get to said place whenever we can.” Okay, it was a bit of a stretch but Gabriel was desperate to see her again, not wanting this to be the last time. He would wait there every day for her if he had to but he would be damned if he never saw her again.

Gabriel frowned slightly, watching as she sank to the ground. It was kind of a sad sight to be honest. Weren’t demons and devils supposed to be these strong beings that hardly ever got hurt? Guess it would make sense that seeing one like this was a rarity. When hearing the hint of fear in her voice though, he stopped looking at her as a spawn of Hell and more like a person in need. “I’m not going to hurt you. And no, you’re not dying here.”

Slowly, carefully, Gabriel moved forward, wanting to assess the damage better. He wasn’t a doctor but, he had some experience patching up wounds so this should be a walk in the park. Or so he hoped.

[ ♆ ]      “No….” He was right, she shouldn’t be this injured. Maybe it was due to her being out of her natural state, but she couldn’t find the ability to heal her wounds. The closer he came, the more nervous she felt, it was hard to trust someone you didn’t know and being hurt only made the situation worse. It came to the point Cruelty felt she had no other choice, as once he came close enough her fangs dug deeply into his arm. Once released, she spit out the blood that had formed in her mouth.

[ ♆ ]      “You taste…. terrible….” The last of her strength had been used in biting him, struggling to even form words before her head fell forward. Other eye closing, the devil had finally lost her fight with consciousness.

[blxckwxtchcommander]

Did... Did she just bite him? He frowned slightly, watching her release his arm and start spitting out blood, now looking down at the wound on his arm. Guess that’s just another thing he’ll have to patch up. Good thing he grew up with sisters who seemed to only know how to bite. “Wow, how nice of you to say to the person trying to help you.” He said sarcastically, rolling his eyes slightly. His arm did sting, causing him to hiss slightly in pain but, he was quick to try and push the pain down for now, watching as her eyes close. Guess she passed out. Gabriel assumed that it would be easier to move her like this than when she was awake, so he did.

After scooping her up in his arms, he carefully made his way down the street, making sure to keep his arms away from the wings that were apparently radiating heat. Didn’t want to deal with a burn along with a bite. He’d get her home, patch her up and send her on her way, where ever that was.

[ ♆ ]      “My, don’t we have a temper~? I came wondering what all the commotion was, didn’t think I’d run into someone like you. What can I say, we have matching colors. Mind telling me what you were up to?” She knew something odd was going on in the area, it was all a matter of figuring out the source of this feeling. Not to mention, Malice was rather curious, seeing how he didn’t even bother to remove her from his person. Instead, she simply gave his arm a playful squeeze with her tail.

[blxckwxtchcommander]

And he didn’t think he would run into someone like her. It was rather bothersome but, it wasn’t something he could work around. “And astute observation, but I’m doing my job.” He stated matter of fact, eyes narrowing under the mask. “Which I’m finding rather difficult to do with you hanging off my arm and being in my space.” Finally, he was trying to slip free of the tail gripping onto his arm, honestly wanting to get away from this woman.

This our town of Halloween || Closed

The sputtering laugh that escaped the commander was quickly muffled by his hand, which also helped cover his toothy grin. After that, the outing was rather quiet, with them hitting houses and collecting candy as the went. So far, they had a pretty good amount with only a few houses left. Gabriel turned his back on Angela for a moment, too busy debating on which house to strike next.

Genji’s red eyes took in the doctor’s state of dress before meeting her gaze. He had to admit, she was pretty in the rather raveling Halloween costume. He was about to speak when he noticed a dark figure looming over her, eyes almost as red as his own shining in the darkness. “Yes, Shimada. What a surprise to see you here.” Came the familiar voice of his commander. Genji seemed to mutter something in Japanese, bowing politely to Angela, before dashing off in a streak of red.

[ ╬ ]      “Hmm? Something wrong, Genji?” It wouldn’t take long for the doctor to notice he looked nervous, head tilted as she wondered what might be bothering him. Angela didn’t take the hint to look behind her, instead giving him a curious smile before his bow and departure, leaving her rather confused. Waving him off, she turned around to stare directly at Gabriel’s chest, startling her just slightly before a small laugh came in response. She didn’t expect him to be standing so close.

[ ╬ ]      “Oh, jeez…. sorry, you startled me a bit. Didn’t think you were standing right behind me. Do you know what was up with Genji? He seemed a little off, I wonder if something was bothering him… maybe I’ll ask later. Did you want to continue on? The day is still young.” She was completely clueless that it was Reyes who made the other run off so quickly, and whether given a clear answer or not she would ask Genji about it later on.

[blxckwxtchcommander]

“Ah sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.” Yet he chuckled softly anyway at her reaction, brown eyes looking up for a moment to see that Genji was nowhere in sight. Good. He should be back at the base doing a report anyway, though so should he but, Genji didn’t need to know that. “I’m not sure. Shimada isn’t one to just express his feelings with me. Perhaps he saw something that scared him.” He joked, wiggling his fingers at her in a silly way as if to emphasize that “spookiness”.

“The day is still young and there’s still plenty of houses to hit. So, onward.” He said, gently looping her arm in his before leading the way down the sidewalk. They continued to trick-or-treat for a little longer before both of their bags were full, even snagging some full sized candy bars while they were out. Then, and only then, did they make their way back to base with their major haul, Gabriel carrying both of their bags back as they were kind of heavy. “So, did you enjoy yourself, amor?” He asked, looking over at her with a toothy smile, exposing the fake fangs he had in.

[blxckwxtchcommander]

Good to see you back, Gabe.

“It’s good to e back, Kali.” He said with a smile. “Been behaving yourself while I’ve been gone?”

[friedenswachter]

blxckwxtchcommander

Without any hesitation, Gabriel was scooping her up in his arms, one arm under her knees while the other was against her back, holding her against his chest. Good thing he had already opened the door as he moved toward it, already walking out. “You know, you should really stop pushing yourself so hard. It can’t be good for you.”

[ ╬ ]      “If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that one…. work needs to be done, sleep can wait for it.” Oh, how nice it was not to fall over, it was a relief Gabriel hadn’t been joking. Within his arms the doctor’s head leaned against him, feeling weightless as he’d begun carrying her to her room. Sleep had waited long enough, if he hadn’t come along she’d certainly have woken upon her desk with a sore neck. Hell, Angela could fall asleep in his arms right this second, but was fighting that urge until she was at least inside her room.

[ ╬ ]      “I appreciate this…. I hope you know that.”

[blxckwxtchcommander]

“I understand work needs to be done but, it shouldn’t be done at the expense of your health. Come one, you’re a doctor. You should know these things.” He stepped down the hall, making sure not to jostle her too much, not wanting to somehow accidently give her a boost of energy. Eventually, he was opening the door to her room, pushing his way inside before closing the door behind him with his foot.

“I know and honestly, I don’t mind doing this.” He said, carefully setting her on her bed. “Do you want to sleep in that or are you going to get changed?” He asked, ready to turn around if she needed him to. Always the gentleman.

[friedenswachter]

blxckwxtchcommander

“One can assume that was the problem then.” He muttered into her blonde hair. Gabriel had missed this, the affection she gave him, and it was nice to finally be able to hold her in his arms again. If it wasn’t obvious, he had missed her just as much.

When she asked about announcing his arrival to anyone else, he frowned slightly, sighing. “I suppose I should tell Morrison that I’m back. Old man’s probably getting more grey hairs as we speak just sitting there worrying.” He joked. Gabriel made no indication that he was going to let go so, instead, he just adjusted his hold and carried her out of the office and down the hall.

[ ╬ ]      “You better drag me along on your next mission, I don’t want to sit here worrying about you again.” Rest assured she too missed the affection, maybe Angela will be lucky and she can steal him for the rest of today after reporting to Morrison. After all, she was going to be dragged along to the commander’s office anyway, may as well see if she can convince him not to receive further work until tomorrow.

[ ╬ ]      “Don’t let him hear you say that, I’m sure you’ll get a mouthful with how tense he’s been lately. A lot of things on his mind, it’s baffling trying to figure out what’s wrong.” Though she couldn’t help but laugh a bit at his joke, his humor would always at least make the doctor smile. Knowing he was going to move, she quickly wrapped her legs around him alongside her arms, ensuring that even if he let go, she wasn’t going to fall. Here’s hoping Morrison doesn’t find this weird.

[blxckwxtchcommander]

“Listen, if I could trade you for Moira, I would in a heartbeat.” He admitted. The commander calmly walked down the hall, carrying the doctor with ease as he did. If Morrison didn’t give him a break after being gone for so long, he was likely to throttle the man and get suspended just so he could get one.

“Oh no, I’m so scared.” He said in a sarcastic tone. “If anything, he’ll just tell me how worried he was and that I should report more often. Besides, the abundance of things on his mind just comes with his job position. Why do you think I turned it down?” Gabriel calmly moved down the hall, ignoring some of the looks he was getting from passing agents, eventually stepping into the Strike Commanders office. Almost instantly, the look that crossed Jack’s face at the sight before him nearly had Gabriel busting out laughing. The pair talked, the Blackwatch commander giving a brief report on how the mission went before requesting for some time off. After a short, heated debate about the much needed break, Jack eventually conceded and signed off on the time off.

[friedenswachter]

Of all the things Gabriel had thought he was going to do today, running into a demon was not on his list. At least, not at the top of his list. He had turned down the alleyway hoping to take a shortcut back to his home only to see what he thought was someone hurt and, being the man he was, he almost reluctantly moved to help. What he hadn’t been expecting was it to be a demon. Well, that just complicated things a bit. “You’re hurt. Let me help.” He said calmly, seeing how she tried to scoot away and hide.

[ ♆ ]      “Don’t….. touch me…” Another attempt to distance herself from him was made, though clearly failed as a second hiss of pain came from her. The alley was closed off, leaving her only exit now blocked by the unfamiliar man, not that she was in any shape to run. Her legs slowly slid from under her, leaving the devil to now sit against the nearby wall with a short thud as she hit the ground. The glare upon her face softened, if even for a moment, before another sentence choked out.

[ ♆ ]      “Don’t…. hurt me. I’m not dying here…” If the truth were told, she’s scared. Which also meant he might get hurt if he were to touch her, but at the same time Cruelty wanted help.

[blxckwxtchcommander]

Gabriel frowned slightly, watching as she sank to the ground. It was kind of a sad sight to be honest. Weren’t demons and devils supposed to be these strong beings that hardly ever got hurt? Guess it would make sense that seeing one like this was a rarity. When hearing the hint of fear in her voice though, he stopped looking at her as a spawn of Hell and more like a person in need. “I’m not going to hurt you. And no, you’re not dying here.”

[blxckwxtchcommander]

[ ♆ ] "So, I heard you like purple~." Before he could even react, the imp's cheek pressed against the side of his mask, tail curled gently around his arm as she gave a wiggle of her eyebrows.

Reaper was taken by surprise by the sudden entity pressing up against him. The flash of purple pink hair caught his eye, causing him to look at the woman out of the corner of his eye. He grit his teeth under his mask, purple eyes seeming to glow with irritation as he looked ahead. He just finished with a job so he was lucky to not have to focus on her while working. “Can I help you with something?” He questioned, looking over at her once more.

Gabriel chuckled before shrugging slightly. Not everyone was as willing to jerk Jack around as he was, fearing of what he would do. He knew that the boy scout wouldn’t really do much but fuss at him. He could handle fussing. At the mention of last years prank, the commander laughed. “I mean, you’re not wrong. You have to admit, it was kind of funny to see everyone’s reactions to it. Poor Jesse, thought he had broken something when he turned on the sink and nothing but bubbles came out.” He lead her down the street, his arm still around her shoulders as they walked.

[ ╬ ]      “You still surprise McCree when he goes to turn it on, he swears you keep putting more in.” A roll of her eyes, a prank was fine and dandy until it continued on for such a long time. Thankfully Angela knew which faucets actually dispensed water and avoided the continuous soapy ones. Well, off they had gone, passing by a couple houses both now with several handfuls of candy on their beings. She had to admit, although it seemed childish, this was actually rather fun. A flash of red had caught her eyes, turning her head to find the youngest Shimada approaching them.

[ ╬ ]      “Oh! Genji, hello. Didn’t think I’d run into you out here.”

[blxckwxtchcommander]

The sputtering laugh that escaped the commander was quickly muffled by his hand, which also helped cover his toothy grin. After that, the outing was rather quiet, with them hitting houses and collecting candy as the went. So far, they had a pretty good amount with only a few houses left.

Gabriel watched her stand, stretch, then gesture toward the door. That was all he needed to moved toward it, opening it for her. He knew the way to her room and with how exhausted she looked, he was thankful it wasn’t so far. She looked like she would just collapse and sleep in the floor if. Too bad he wouldn’t let her. “You know, I could carry you to bed, amor. If it would make it easier for you.”

[ ╬ ]      “I think you’re going to have to…. if I take another step I’m going to fall.” She’d only made it a couple steps away from her desk before the doctor was leaning against the nearby wall. He would be right about one thing, she might just collapse. It was one thing to fall asleep on her desk, but on the floor would just be a terrible idea. Not only would it be uncomfortable, but no one just slept in the middle of a room, it’d look like she was hurt.

[blxckwxtchcommander]

Without any hesitation, Gabriel was scooping her up in his arms, one arm under her knees while the other was against her back, holding her against his chest. Good thing he had already opened the door as he moved toward it, already walking out. “You know, you should really stop pushing yourself so hard. It can’t be good for you.”

[friedenswachter]

blxckwxtchcommander

“I’m sorry, mi amor. I didn’t mean to worry you. I would have tried to get in contact with you but, nothing seemed to work. I’m okay though. Just some bumps and bruises that are honestly probably healed up by now.” He let his cheek rest on top of her head, his eyes actually closing as he relaxed, thankful to hold her in his arms once more.

He could hear her and in response, he turned his head so he could press a gentle kiss to the top of her head. He kept his arms around her, refusing to let her go now that he could hold her again.

[ ╬ ]      “There was a storm here recently, I can only assume because of that and your distance from us that any signals were blocked. It’s just good to see you back~.” Feeling his cheek against her, Angela gave it a small nuzzle with her head. If it wasn’t obvious, she really missed him, and it was certainly a relief that he wasn’t harmed. At least, not too terribly, she hated seeing him injured.

[ ╬ ]      “Have you told anyone else you’re back yet? I’m sure Morrison would like to know of this, it might put his mind a bit more at ease as well.” If he hadn’t, he could bet he’d be dragging a doctor with him as Angela did not want to let go either.

[blxckwxtchcommander]

“One can assume that was the problem then.” He muttered into her blonde hair. Gabriel had missed this, the affection she gave him, and it was nice to finally be able to hold her in his arms again. If it wasn’t obvious, he had missed her just as much.
