Chapter 44

Charles messed with the bowtie that hung under his jaw. "Stop fidgeting, you look fine." David said swatting his hand away.

"But, it's choking me." Charles whined as he turned to the rest of the guys. "You look nice partner, just relax. You'll be fine." McCree said.

"Jesse's right, you need to loosen up Charlie." Aaron said as he walked over, dressed in a tuxedo similar to Charles's suit.

"It's just a wedding, Sohn, you'll be fine." Reinhardt said patting his back. "Easy for you to say." Charles moaned as he looked in the mirror. His blonde hair had been combed neatly, his sea green eyes gleamed in the reflection. He wore a black tuxedo and white undershirt, a red bowtie, black pants, and black dress shoes. He gulped audibly and continued to look at the mirror before a column of smoke appeared next to him. The Rider wore the same outfit as Charles and sighed.

"You're fine, relax. It's just Angela. In a white dress. In the base, with a pastor near." The Rider said.

"Did the demon, stutter?" Charles asked, a smile stretching against his face. "Shut up!" The Rider scowled as he disappeared. Charles laughed lightly as the chords of the song began. Aaron opened the door and smiled at him.

"It's time." He said. Charles walked to the door as Aaron kept it open for him, Charles made it to the altar as Reinhardt and Winston stood next to him. The music grew louder as Aaron and Lena walked out and headed down the aisle, Lena wore a beautiful blue dress and blue heels as her Chronal Accelerator was firmly strapped on her chest. Aaron's smile widened as he winked at Charles before separating from her and standing by Charles. The next was David and Julie, the two grinned as they walked before standing next to Aaron and Lena. The final two were Angela and Fareeha. The crowd stood as they watched Angela walk down the aisle. She wore a long beautiful white dress studded with shimmering diamonds. Fareeha walked down the aisle and left her at the altar as she joined with Jennie and McCree. Angela turned and face Charles as he removed the veil.

"You're still as beautiful as ever." He whispered lightly, in awe of her radiant beauty. "Efi, what is this?" Orisa asked in a hushed voice.

"This is a wedding Orisa, where two souls become one when they love one another. It's beautiful." Efi replied. Orisa looked back at Charles and Angela as the priest talked about love and staying true to one another. She searched through her databanks until 'Marriage' and 'Love' appeared. A faint blush appeared on her face as she turned to see Bastion standing behind the rest of the crowd. She turned to Efi as the little girl noticed her gaze and nodded. Orisa stood up and headed to the back and sat a few feet away from Bastion, Charles and Angela noticed them and smiled as Orisa scooted closer to Bastion, her hand resting on his. Bastion's face heated up as he looked at the female robot and tweeted, causing the OR to laugh.

"Do you, Charles Williams, take Angela Ziegler to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The Priest asked. Charles gulped before sighing.

"I do." "And do you, Angela Ziegler, take Charles Williams to be your lawfully wedded husband?" "I do" She replied instantly.

"If there is no objections, then by the power invested in me, I name you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The Priest said. Charles leaned forward and planted his lips on hers as the crowd erupted into cheers and claps. They broke the kiss and turned to see everyone cheering and nodding to the two. Aaron and Lena walked over and smiled widely as Charles and Angela made their way down the aisle before Angela stopped and tossed the bouquet behind her. She turned to see Efi holding it and smiling widely. Charles patted her shoulder and pointed towards the robot couple. Angela glanced to see Orsia with her head on Bastion's shoulder, Ganymede flapping near her before resting on her horn.

"Aww." Angela said as they walked past them, Charles nodded thumbs up Bastion. The robot's eye blinked as Bastion sighed. Charles picked Angela up, causing her to yelp as they made it back to their room. He opened the door and marveled at it. So many adventures, the hardships, the pain, the good, and the bad. He experienced it all with her but still moved on. He learned from his mistakes and continued moving on, no matter how many times it battered him. He always moved forward, with her by his side. Charles placed Angela gently on the bed as  he began to remove the tux and white shirt.

"What're you doing?" Angela asked. "It may be my wedding day, but duty calls." He replied sadly. Angela sighed as she stood up and removed her dress, hanging it on a hangar. Charles watched as she slipped on a orange and black jumpsuit before placing her Valkyrie suit on. She flex her wings as she holstered her pistol and strapped her staff behind her. The two walked as Charles lifted his hand to see the ring on his finger. He smiled as he entered the command room to see Ana, Symmetra, and Fareeha by the console.

"Nuh-uh, you two leave." Fareeha said walking over and pushing the two out. "What why?" Charles asked.

"You just got married, you are not working now. Now go." Fareeha replied. "Wh-" "Nope, go away!" She said before shoving the two out. Angela and Charles wore dumbfounded looks before looking at each other. They left for the rec room to see Aaron on the couch as Lena straddled him and made seductive glances at him. Charles thrusted his hand out to block Angela before shushing her.

"Why?" She whispered. Charles pointed to the couch to which Angela giggled lightly. Lena snapped her head to the entrance, her face engulfed in red as she watched Charles and Angela giggled at her. She immediately blinked to the chair and crossed her arms as she tried to calm her blushing face.

"Lena, you al-ri-gh-t-" Aaron asked before looking at the entrance to see Charles crossing his arms as Angela laughed.

"Oh no, please, continue. We didn't mean to intrude." Charles said. Aaron stood up, fixed his shirt and walked past him as his face burned with embarrassment. Lena stood up and blinked after Aaron as Angela and Charles calmed their laughter and walked to their room instead. Charles laid on the bed as Angela removed her gear and placed on casual clothes. She looked at her suit, pistol, and staff and pondered her decisions.

"What's on your mind?" Charles asked as he got up from the bed and wrapped his arms around her waist. She jumped out her thoughts as she turned to her husband and smiled.

"Just thinking, maybe I should let Jennie have the Valkyrie suit. I mean, she is the most qualified since she was with me since the beginning. She has learned about medicine and she has practiced with me. It only seems fitting I pass down the torch to her." She said.

"I'm sure Jennie would do great, even keep Jesse from hurting himself." Charles pointed out. "Hehe, yeah, Jesse does tend to drink a lot. What about you, if we were to say retire, who would you pass the torch to as Commander?" Angela asked turning to look at him.

"Maybe, Aaron. He's got potential or Lena. But then again, she's a little brash, too hard headed and well, too much of a child in an adults body. But, she has thought of plans on the spot that have worked out." Charles said. Angela giggled as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"Whatever you choose, I'll be by your side." Angela said. Charles smiled as he sighed and looked out the window, the sun shining as agents wandered the courtyard. He noticed Jennie and McCree walking down the sidewalk and his parents relaxing under a tree. Before he could enjoy the silence, Japanese screaming sounded throughout the base.

"GENJI!!!!" Hanzo screamed. Angela and Charles exited the room to see the cyborg ninja dashing down the hallway, his brother hot on his heels.

"You dishonor the family!" Hanzo yelled. Charles heard Genji laughing as he turned a corner, surprising Hana.

"Hanzo!" Charles shouted, causing the archer to halt and turn, still fuming with anger. "What is going on?" Charles asked.

"Genji, little bastard played a trick on me." He replied. "What prank?" "He replaced my sake with whiskey from that cowboy!" Hanzo said.

"Really? Is that why you're chasing down your brother?" Charles asked. Hanzo, realizing the predicament and sighed.

"I-uh, apologize for my behavior Commander." He replied. Charles laughed lightly and nodded. Hanzo left for his room as Genji appeared from the corner, laughing his ass off.

"Really Genji, whiskey?" "What? It was a prank bro." Genji replied before leaving. Charles rolled his eyes before being moved. He turned to see Angela with her suit and staff in her hands.

"What are you doing?" He asked. "Visiting your sister, I think it's time to give her the mantle of 'Mercy'." She replied as she left for Jennie's room. Charles followed her until they stopped in front of her room. Charles knocked on the door, scuffling could be heard through the door as the woman opened the door to reveal a casual McCree leaning on the couch, his feet on the coffee table.

"Oh, hey Charile, Angela. What's up?" She asked. The two entered as McCree straightened up and nodded to them.

"Well, I've come to give Jennie a gift." Angela said as she revealed the Valkyrie suit and staff. "I've taught you all that I know, I believe it is time to pass down the torch to you." She said. Jennie grasped the staff and looked at it as she rested her hand on the suit.

"Angela, I don't know what to say." Jennie said. "You've earned it." Angela replied with a smile. Jennie placed the staff on the chair and wrapped her arms around the blonde woman.

"I'll make you proud." Jennie said. Angela and Charles stood up as he stuck his tongue out at Jennie, only for her to flip him off.

"Love ya nerd." He said opening the door for Angela. "Love ya too dweeb." Jennie called out as the two left. Charles and Angela walked outside as they enjoyed the courtyard garden, he glanced to see Orisa and Bastion sitting in a circle of flowers, birds and Ganymede flew about. A woodpecker landed on Bastion's shoulder as Ganymede fluttered to Orisa's horn and tweeted. Orisa giggled as Efi walked over to them with a bundle of flowers in her arms. The couple smiled as they walked by to see Efi placing the flowers on Orisa and Bastion. They found a bench that overlooked the field and city of Zurich. The sun shining brightly as it warmed their bodies. But it was short lived as a pair of feet was heard behind them until it halted. Charles turned to see Mei standing with her arms behind her back.

"What's up Mei?" He asked. "Well, since Overwatch is back. I was wondering if I could go back to the Ecopoint, to give my team a proper burial and goodbye." She said. Charles nodded as he stood up and kissed Angela's hand then turning to Mei.

"Are you ready?" He asked. She nodded as the two left for the hangar bay. Charles grabbed a coat and placed it on as the ship hovered when they entered. Gabriel and Aaron walked onto the ship and nodded. Mei smiled lightly, grateful for the company. The ship flew out of the base as it headed for Antarctica.

"Thank you, everyone." Mei said. "We're family Ms. Ling-Zhou, it's our duty to take care of our own." Aaron said placing a hand on her shoulder. Mei felt tears trickle down her face as she hugged Aaron.

"Thank you." She cried. Aaron held her close as Gabriel patted her shoulder. She stood up and wiped her tears away as the ship landed on the platform of the base. The door opened as a blast of cold air flared throughout the ship. Mei didn't pay the cold any attention as she made her way to the cryostasis pods. She looked to see the dried skeletons still sealed in their frozen caskets. She turned to see an open on that read 'Mei Ling-Zhou'. She shook her head as the four got to work opening the pods and gingerly grabbing the bones of her deceased colleagues and placing them on the floor as Gabriel began saying a few words to honor them. Mei frowned before looking up to the air to see the clouds taking shape. She raised an eyebrow before her mouth opened as a huge cloud took the shape of what looked like her colleagues, smiling down at her. She felt tears rush down her face before the cloud disappeared into five other smaller clouds.

"You alright Mei?" Charles asked. Mei turned, her cheeks red and eyes puffy from crying. "I am now." She replied. She turned to see Gabriel and Aaron placing the bones atop one andother in a large box that Aaron found in the storage room.

"Sorry, I would have gotten separate boxes, but this was the only one I could find." Aaron apologized.

"It's alright, it's perfect." She said. Mei grabbed on side of the last scientist, with Charles's help, and placed it in the box as Gabriel and Aaron screwed it shut. Charles and Gabriel carried the casket to an open field as Aaron and Mei went to worked digging a hole big enough for the coffin. Charles and Gabriel lowered the box into the ground as Mei and Aaron placed the dirt and ice they dug up back into the hole. Charles turned and saw a large chunk of ice and broght it over. With precision aiming, Charles burned the names of the colleagues into the ice and rested the ice above the dig site. Mei did one finally prayer before leaving for the ship. The rest followed as it flew back to the ship as it hovered and left for the base. Mei had a new smile on her face as she stared off into the blizzard raging on.

"My friends are finally at rest and happy. I guess now I can start by having my own life now." Mei said.

"We all have our lives to live, you just need to choose how you spend it." Charles said patting her shoulder. She turned to the Commander and hugged him.

"Thank you, both of you. You've truly helped me find peace." She said looking into his sea green eyes.

"You're welcome Mei." He said placing his chin on her head as he held her close. "All I ever want to see for everyone, is happiness." Charles said.

A/N: It's almost over, I know I know. But I believe this has ran it's course. I thank all of you, you warm my heart knowing you've enjoyed this. I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday. I believe I've blabbered on for long, tata for now! ^~^
