STARTER CALL.           / /           @noheroiine

█ ║►  it’s late when she gets the call; inordinately so  ---  a complaint she might’ve registered with the caller had the subject matter hadn’t been entirely urgent.  she’s half-asleep when she answers it, weakly offering an answer to the caller. in the rushed string of words coming out of the receiver, she can barely make out a sentence, let alone the request being asked of her --- though she didn’t need to. she got all she needed out of the few words she did pick up.

URGENT. INJURED. IMMEDIATE.

once the words register, her back goes straight. quickly, her free hand goes to pull the covers off her, the blonde holding the phone between her cheek and her shoulder as she blindly grabs for clothes left strewn on her bedroom floor.

❝   i’ll --- i’ll be there in less than thirty. ❞

she grabs a mix of the previous few days clothes, and rather loudly rushes out of her apartment and to her garage.  angela makes out the site she’s headed to; catching glimpses of rushing ambulances in the dead streets.

asking for a rebrief, she’s met with the same non-sensical set of words from a tired and hurried nurse, absentmindedly, the blonde slaps her cheeks in an attempt to gain some alertness.

she’s directed to part of the site and given instructions to start examining the wounded, those caught in whatever had gone down here -- she assumed some degree of an accident until she spots a familiar woman around a corner. hurriedly, she looks side to side and rushed over, attempting to not be redirecting and accosted by the staff on site as she heads to the woman.

█ ║►   she can tell that the statement is phrased as a suggestion, but intended as a command. claire’s tone is tense, as she helps the blonde shuffle back onto a couch. 

she’s stressed  —   that much the blonde can tell from quick bleary glances she’s made between from lidded eyes before they’re interrupted by groans and grimaces from the searing pain. she reaches for the nurse, trying to reach out for her as she instead makes an effort to keep her eyes open.

❝    —  i’m a big girl, you can tell me what you’re doing.   ❞

█ ║►  her teeth are grit, as she grimaces once more. her hand pressing against her abdomen as she leans back against her wall. she’s fumbling, now that she’s separated from her staff. a feeling worsened by the fact, she’s hurt, and far more seriously than she’d care to admit.  she looks down at the blood that now covers her glove  — her expression sombre, as she quickly presses her hand at her side once more. she’s more desperate now. her back going rigid as she presses it closer and more firmly against the wall she’s leaning against.

❝    —   we both know that isn’t a good idea. ❞

[doctorscrders]

❝ Let me see you. ❞

█ ║►  her breath is shaky as she tries to turn away from the phone receiver  —  she falsely thinks that trying to ignore the woman’s voice would alleviate her anguish, and rid that desolate feeling growing inside her, but it doesn’t. it only worsens now that she can’t hear the woman’s voice in her ear.

she puts the phone aside, not yet hanging up as she runs her hands over her face, exhaling that same shaky breath into her hands as she tries to muffle it this time. angela knows she wants to see her  —  to just be there with her. she wants to resist this emptiness  —  but she knows she can’t. her name leaves angela’s lips, just as shaky as breath she uttered only moments before. grimacing,  the blonde grabs the phone from its resting place on her table, slowly bringing it up against her face once more before she offers shaky words instead of empty breaths.

█ ║►   ❝  i’m not the one calling you a cretin  ---  i merely said that was his perception of you.   ❞

she frowned slightly, unhappy with the gunslinger’s misplaced anger, and her apparent need to explain herself in direct response to jesse’s perception of her statement. as well as his own apparent projection --- given his accusal of her being in a bad mood.

she’d think his cretin status would be earned, had she been someone else, and had not known the man for so long to allow for his misgivings.

█ ║►  she knew that not everything they did was negative. there was real good in the world as a result of the actions and decisions of overwatch  ...  there was so much they did right that should overshadow whatever they had done wrong, but in the eyes of the public, of the people they were protecting  --- that wasn’t the case.  

theirs was a legacy of failure, a legacy of destruction and a legacy of deceit. their long-dead heroics were cast aside and only their transgressions were given the light of day  ---  this was an apparent retribution for actions undertaken by those who had attempted to sow good in the world.

❝  but we weren’t the ones to decide that    —    all everyone sees is our end, our failure.  ❞

❝  our good deeds don’t matter to them.  our sins have been decided for us.  ❞
