The Aftermath - Reaper/Gabriel Reyes
Pain. He felt nothing but searing hot pain, like his body was rebuilding his flesh and bones. He slowly opened his eyes, but was nothing less than confused when he saw through many different perspectives from all different angles than he was used to. Blinking nervously, Gabriel closed each eye at a time as a sickening feeling rose up his spine as he began to remember. The explosion.
“Jack..?” He called out, now realizing that his voice sounded much more… unearthly than before. He sounded like he was a demon from one of those old horror movies and that didn’t feel right at all.
‘How… How in hell did I survive…? Why does it feel like I’ve already died, but why am I still here?’ Gabriel thought to himself as he brought a hand closer to his face, only to stop once his ‘hand’ came into view of one of his many eyes. It was nothing but black mist that was in the general shape of a hand. Quickly, he brought up his other hand only to see it in the same state. Hot tears of anger began to well up behind his many eyes, but mainly the original two.
“Why?! Why did I have to live and not Jack?! How am I still even alive?! Answer me!” He angrily shouted towards the sky as he continued to lay under the rubble of the Swiss Headquarters. All of his friends and comrades are now dead. Know he is glad that Jesse ran away and that Genji finished his mission and was now roaming the world in hopes of finding meaning in his life. “Why… Why did this have to happen to me..? What did I do wrong in this life..?”
The hot tears began to slowly roll down his cheeks as he let out a defeated cry of agony. The physical pain of the explosion still filled his veins and the heavy burden of losing those he was close too quickly became too much to bare. He had become a monster by someone’s hands after the loss of those whom he held close. If he were to be a monster, then he shall. He will be that monster, the one who lived when his comrades died. He would live on even if he was in constant pain from his new form. He would find those who caused him harm and destroy them.
Slowly, a sickening smile grew on Gabriel’s face as his tears dried up and an insane cackle began to leave dried, cracked lips. ‘I’ll watch those who caused this burn. They will burn just as how Overwatch did. They will fall.’ This was the final though of Gabriel Reyes’ mind before his sanity finally cracked.
