@starfishdrawz ‘s Halloween charms are finding places among my belongings.
Jack and Gabe are adorning the same bag on opposite sides My art/craft bag. Need inspiration!
And most people have pictures of kids on their work badges but I put these things to display my geekiness.
McCree paused though and the next thing he said that flew out was probably the whiskey talking, “So uh…” he looked over at Fenris, his eyes lingering on his chin and neck. “Do those um… tattoos go all the way down?” he raised his eyebrow.”

This perfect picture was created by @starfishdrawz from me and @ilyssak64 Dragon Age and Overwatch crossover RP

Guess who found good company on my gym bag.
Berserker Gabe: Part 1: Intro
Inspired by @starfishdrawz‘s awesome drawings found here. Posted separately for a short series, because I am not sure if I’ll make this into a novel. So enjoy the serialization.

When his face smacked against the concrete for the third time, Jack felt bones crack in his nose. Thick warm liquid splattered next time his cheek slammed into the bloody pool. The massive weight of an enhanced soldier disappeared from his back. Shouts and gunfire echoed in the rotunda of the Switzerland base. The Strike Commander’s senses barely registered any of it. Under the swelling forcing his eyes shut, Jack focused every remaining piece of energy on his attacker.
Gabriel Reyes looked feral. A man gone berserk. Straining against steel ropes. Growling in fury. Teeth gnashing at anyone who came close. The nightmarish scene before him was not the man Jack had known. Something dark, shadowy, overtook the enhanced soldier adding to already considerable strength. It was the only way Gabriel could completely dominate his long time friend in a fight. At that moment Jack fully believed the Blackwatch Commander would break loose.
Red eyes met his disbelieving blue. Deep within those recesses pain and determination lingered. To see Reyes bound heavily and straining to get free to continue the fight destroyed Jack’s trust in his friend. He promised to find out who caused this devastation.
And he would start with the most likely source.
Moira O'deorain.

Berserker Gabe: Part 16: Epilogue
Jack entered the nearly empty apartment the two came to share wearing the red, white and blue jacket with the ’76’ blazoned on the back. Gabriel sat up from where he was dozing on the couch. “Where did you have that thing hiding?”
“Storage unit in Indiana.”
“Figures.” Gabriel snorted in amusement. He heaved himself up and let his fingers trace the numbers. “You never could give up the past.”
“It holds some great memories. And you made it.”
“I didn’t make it so you could go vigilante.” Gabriel motioned to the mask with red visor in Jack’s hand.
“Oh? Now you’re jumping to conclusions.” Jack raised an eyebrow to challenge Gabriel. His partner crossed his arms and gave him the glare saying he knew better. Jack shrugged as he backed down. “What can it hurt to help out? A bit of bounty hunting seems right up your alley.”
Gabriel sighed and relaxed his arms. His hoodie transforming into a similar jacket with the number ’24’ etched across the back. His jacket remained black and white, but he added a long leather duster past the waist. A large hood also appeared. A coat with all of his comforts and style. “Can’t let you get killed alone.”
Jack chuckled, watching the strange technology create the garment. “Admit it. You might not have wanted the position, but you missed the coat.”
“Alright…. I missed the coat. At least I wore it with flair.” Gabriel snapped up the hood. “So are we doing this or not?” A white skull like mask appeared in his hand. Jack grinned to see that his partner was just as impatient to get back to what they did best.

Berserker Gabe: Part 10: Pause
Two of the best technical minds in Overwatch worked tirelessly to create a new set of restraints for Reyes. Echo and Winston presented their work with painful pride. It was a masterpiece of engineering and biomechanics, yet it was designed to control their friend. Neither wished their creation on anyone. And both hoped it would allow the Blackwatch Commander to regain his mental faculties. Jack held the massive silver collar with the red diodes and only felt sorrow. Neither Moira nor Angela could find a way to return Gabriel to himself, requiring this restraint.
“Now how do we replace the old one?” That was not a question anyone had put much thought into. Jack resigned himself to yet another brutal encounter with the berserk enhanced soldier. “Then let’s get to work.” The Strike Commander shouldered the responsibility and led the way to the detention block. His cohort grew to include many soldiers ready to subdue the monster. His friend.
Greeting them behind the hard light and the vertical bars were the sharp glowing red eyes. Sitting on the thin metal foldout bed, Gabriel glared at them. Contained energy roiling within those eyes. Exuding the desire to rip off his bonds and murder all those present. With a dip in his gaze to the titanium alloy collar still within Jack’s grasp, Gabriel snarled. The fight just began.
“Be ready. I do not know when the moment will present itself.” Jack shed his command duster and handed both the cloth and collar to a waiting soldier. He signaled for the barriers to be dropped. He would never be prepared for this. Gabriel did not move. His muscles tensed. He bared his teeth. But he did not budge from where he sat. Perhaps somewhere deep within the monster wearing Gabriel’s skin the man Jack knew still existed. Or he was just biding his time. “You said better restraints, Gabe.”
One step into the cell and nothing. Nothing until Jack reached for the crackling piece of technology. Two cuffed hands snapped up to grab his wrist. Tighter than iron vices. Brown irises blinked through the red. Acknowledgement? A warning? Then that tilt of the head. The one Gabriel did when trying to take all details into consideration. A flick of the gaze over Jack’s shoulder revealed the second soldier entering the cell. Gabriel’s hands tightened further. Any more and Jack might lose circulation. The exchange had to be quick. Due to the size of the collars they could not fit one on without removing the other.
Quick or brutal. Jack dreaded the latter.

Berserker Gabe: Part 15: Amends
Gabriel and Jack entered the commissary for lunch. It was a common occurrence now that Gabriel wasn’t tied up with Blackwatch business. While eating Gabriel went introspective and started to fidget with the cuffs helping hold him together. Jack noticed but Gabe shook his head to stop the question. Never enough time to explain. Gabriel opened a private line to Athena. “Athena, order a base wide evacuation.” Done quietly so none of the crowd in the dining hall could hear.
Jack narrowed his eyes in concern and caught Gabriel’s scowl when Athena remarked to Jack. “Commander Morrison. Request confirmation.” Before this incident with Gabriel going berserk, Athena never would have needed to ask. But it was a protocol put into place should Reyes escape with ill intent towards the organization.
Gabriel twisted the cuffs agitated but his eyes remained on Jack trying to convey the seriousness of the moment. “Remember Oslo and Rome?”
Jack would never forget those disasters. “Athena, order a base wide evacuation. Gabe? What is going on?”
Sirens blared as the two soldiers stared at each other. Gabriel broke eye contact to watch the occupants of the commissary leave. “With all the free time I’ve been having, I researched into the arson investigations. Found similar components in both. Went about making sure those signatures did not happen here.”
“And you found one.”
”Yes. It’s happening now.” The dining hall was empty save for the Commanders and Gabriel unclipped the cuffs from his wrists.
Jack wanted to ask so many things right then. How did his friend know for starters. But what came out, did not help. ”Gabe? You could do that the whole time?”
”I’ve kept them on voluntarily since I woke up realizing what they were doing.” Gabe reached behind his neck and tried the clasp there. He frowned. “Winston changed the code. I don’t have time to figure out the new one. Jack.” Gabriel looked up expectant. Even Jack could see Gabriel’s body trying to dissipate and the struggle to keep it in check.
“There are other ways to do this. We have several bomb squads.”
”This is the most efficient way. I’ll be fine.”
Jack scowled.“No, you won’t.”
“Then it is a good thing you know how to subdue me now. Jack, I’m not letting this turn into another Oslo or Rome. Let me do this. I’ve done enough damage. I can at least stop this.”
Jack sighed as he weighed his choices. “Be safe.” He made the decision. Undoing the collar keeping his friend together. Black smoke already trickled away from the man’s body and red glinted in his eyes. “We are going to Oasis to get this fixed.”
”You got it, Jack.” Gabriel managed a smile. When Jack made a promise he always followed through. Gabriel didn’t want to disappoint him. “Now get going. Make sure they’ve evacuated.”

Berserker Gabe: Part 9: Company
Jack took the stairs into the detention block. He had not seen Gabriel in days. By his fault. He should have journeyed here the morning after he encountered the shadowy form of his friend. Tried then to offer hope even when no one had answers. Instead he pushed the scientists for answers. Demanded more resources for their disposal. He couldn’t rest until they managed a breakthrough. Yet every day yielded only disappointment.
He came today only because Gabriel deserved the truth. Nothing worked. The guard on duty jumped to attention. “Sir! Didn’t know you were coming.”
Jack waved down the man’s salute. “Just visiting. Not going to open the cell or anything.” Jack gave a half smile at the jest. It managed to ease the guard’s tension. Standing before the bars with the red eyes glowing up at him from the shadows, put Jack on edge. Gabriel never moved. Kneeling on the concrete with the mask of evil set on his face.
The guard offered commentary. No doubt recognizing the sad question forming in the Strike Commander’s eyes. “They say he’s been like that for days.”
“He’s always been stubborn like that. Since the day I met him he wouldn’t stop until he got done what needed to be done. I’m just going to sit with him for a while.” Jack levered himself down to the floor. Sitting across from where Gabriel knelt behind the bars.
“I can get you a chair, sir.” The guard hastily turned to his post.
“No need. This is preferred “ Jack felt more comfortable at eye level with Gabriel. Given their history on the battlefield this felt more natural. What would they say to seeing the Strike Commander on the ground in the detention block? Jack didn’t care. This was to give his partner some much needed company. “They don’t know what to do with you. I don’t know what to do. Moira, Angela, and even Winston don’t know if it is possible to fix this beyond finding better restraints. I need you back, Gabe.”
Red eyes glinted dangerously when the monster within Gabriel’s body turned his head. That darkness controlling his old friend shifted. One eye cleared of the redness. Through gritted teeth in a harsh growl Gabriel managed the first words spoken since he went berserk. “Find. Better. Restraints.” Pain infused each syllable. A howl of agony preceded the eruption of dark red welts along the man’s arms. Whatever had taken ahold of Gabriel was getting worse.
Jack knelt at the bars, gripping them tightly as he couldn’t reach past the hard light barrier. “Gabe….We’re working on it. Just hang on. Please.”
