Chapter 20
Charles woke up to see Angela walking out of the bathroom with clean clothes on. "Good morning Charlie, I hope your sleep was good." She said with a smile.
"Well, it was when my parents came back." He replied as he got up and kissed her. "Well, I'll be in the mess, you can catch up after you've bathed. I can still smell Hellfire." She said with a smirk before leaving. Charles laughed lightly as he walked to the shower and started up the water. He began to think about how Talon had taken his parents.
"Those scumbags, they'll die for doing this to you two." He growled lightly. "I can sense your anger, but we will need to time to think of a counterattack against Reaper and Widowmaker." The Rider said.
"I understand." Charles said as he calmed down and finished his shower. He walked out and grabbed a spare of clothes as he clothed himself. He then walked down the corridor towards the mess. Julie walked out of her room and noticed him.
"Good morning Charlie, I'm glad to see you've been doing well." She said with a smile. "Thank you mother, I'm glad you're back here and not with those Talon scumbags." Charles replied.
"I also heard you and Angela are intimate." She said with a wide grin. "MOM!" The man shouted in embarrassment. Charles's face lit up as his mother giggled. Julie walked with her son into the mess to see everyone talking and joking about, generally having a fun time. Reinhardt and Zarya were arm wrestling as Symmetra and Junkrat worked on their equipment. Jack and Ana were sitting next to a few other agents as they ate their meals. Other than that, the agents seemed to be enjoying this small respite. Angela glanced over and waved for then two.
"Oh there she is, go get her tiger~" Julie teased her son. "Mom, I swear to god..." Charles threatened. "You'll what? I can just freeze you~" She said with a smirk. Charles rolled his eyes as he walked over to Angela and kissed her. The medic glanced at Julie as the ice woman waved and winked at her.
"What was all that about?" Angela asked. "Just an embarrassing moment I'd rather not have to experience again." He replied. As the duo finished eating, Jack received a message from Athena.
"Charles, you have a visitor." He said to him. Charles raised an eyebrow before walking over to a terminal as a familiar face appeared.
"Johnny!" "Hey kid, just wanted to see you need any help with 'Rider' business." He replied. "I'm good Johnny, thank you for asking. But I think me and my Rider are fine as it is." Charles said.
"Well, I can respect that. But I need your help." Johnny said. "What is it?" "Well, after that skirmish I got into to save you and the medic, I now got Talon on my ass." He informed Charles.
"Yikes, sorry about that." Charles apologized. "Not your fault kid, but I do require an evac if it's no trouble?" Johnny asked. Charles could faintly hear the sound of gunfire.
'Leave him to die.' The Rider told him. 'No, he could be an asset to the team.' Charles retorted. 'He deserves to die for defying Lucifer.' The Rider spat.
'What do you mean?' Charles asked. 'If I may intervene, what your Rider is trying to say is that Blaze and the Rider he possesses defied me and are now a team of their own. I hold no ill will to them, as long as they do the work I told them too, they are fine.' Lucifer said.
'What the?' 'You get used to it.' The Rider said. "If you're not to busy having a tea party with the devil and your Rider, I could use that assist!" Johnny shouted as the gunfire became louder.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm on my way." Charles said as the call ended. "Is everything alright?" Angela asked as Charles ran off.
"Yeah, just gotta help a friend." He replied. "Well, I'll come with. I hate being cramped in this base." She said as the duo went to their room as they got their equipment. They ran to the hangar and boarded a waiting transport Charles had Athena start.
"So, who is this person? Is it Arsenal?" Angela asked. "No, someone else." He replied. Angela stared at him before sighing.
"It's Joh-" "It's Johnny." He finished. Angela threw her hands in the air as she sat down. "We already have one mad boneheaded freak to worry about. No offense of course." "How can I be offended when I'm always a source for conversation?" The Rider asked. Angela glanced at Charles as his eyes glowed red with Hellfire and a scowl replaced his smile.
"I'm sorry." She apologized. "Not like I use my powers to save innocent people on a day-to-day basis instead of what I was meant to do. Like say, for instance to punish you for how Gabriel Reyes turned out to be." The Rider spat at her, making Angela flinch.
"I'm sorry, forget what I said." Angela said. "Not like I can't ever forget that I'm just a burden to Charles because he was the one to sell his soul for a noble cause. Do you have any idea how hard it is to constantly listen to what he tells me to do? There are times I try to kill you, but he stops me and reminds me of what I had said about you. But if you keep berating and throwing me under the bus like this, then I'll have no choice but to put you in your place. Ms. High and all fucking Mighty. Raising people from the dead as an accomplishment. You're no goddess." The Rider said before Charles continued.
"Yeah, but Johnny could be useful to Overwatch." Charles said walking over to Angela before she backed away from him.
"Angi, are you okay?" He asked backing up. "Yes, I'm fine Charlie." She replied as the ship landed. Charles put a communicator to mouth and spoke.
"Johnny where are you?" He asked before the sound of gunfire sounded. "GANGWAY!!" A man yelled as he boarded the ship and turned as he fired at his assailants.
"Go!" Johnny ordered as the ship began to rise. He sighed and sat down on the floor as he tossed his gun to the side.
"Thanks for the assist." He said breathing heavily. "You're welcome." Charles replied as the ship flew from the scene and back to base.
"Doctor." Johnny said nodding towards Angela's direction. "Blaze." Was her reply as she crossed her arms and closed her eyes.
"Angela, are you okay?" Charles asked. "I'm fine." She lied as she breathed and exhaled lightly. The ship landed in the hangar as the ramp lowered, Angela stood up and walked away to her room.
"Looks like you got some lady problems." Johnny said patting his back. "Go meet the rest of Overwatch. I'll meet up with you." Charles said as he ran off after her.
'20 says they breakup.' Johnny's Rider said. "HEARD THAT!" Charles yelled making Johnny laugh. As Charles got to his room, he noticed Angela packing a couple suitcases.
"Angi, are you sure you're okay?" He asked closing the door. "I'm fine Charles, I'm going to head back to Switzerland to relax and calm my mind." She said.
"Talk to me please Angi, I can tell you're not fine. Let me help." He pleaded as he walked over to her. He placed a hand on her shoulder before she backed away.
"It's not you, it's just problems I need to figure out myself. I'll be back soon." She said grabbing her suitcase and walking past him and opening the door.
"Angela!" Charles cried out. The medic turned and looked at him before walking out the door. Charles walked to his bed and sat down as tears fell down his face.
"What did I do wrong?" He wondered as he sniffled. Jennie walked past down the corridor as she nodded to Angela. She continued down the hallway until she heard he brother's cries. Creaking the door open, Jennie poked her head in and saw her brother sitting on the bed as he cried into his hands.
"Charlie!" She said making him jumped and wiped the tears away. "H-hey Jennie, w-why are you spying on me?" He asked as he tried to mask his sadness.
"What's wrong?" She asked. "Nothing, just some problems between me and Angela." He replied. Jennie clicked her tongue as she wiped his tears away.
"I'm sure it is not your fault, she probably just needs to think. She is in a relationship with the host of a demon. A lot of people would still be skeptical if they were in her position. C'mon, let's go watch Lucio and Hana fight each other in Mortal Kombat." Jennie said putting a smile on his face.
"GOD DAMN IT!" Hana screeched, making Jennie giggle. The two stood and left for the rec room and nodded to Johnny as he walked buy.
"I guess you were right." Johnny's Rider said. "I don't know, but I do know Charles will need more help if he is to face what is too come." Johnny replied.
