Lost and Found

[unrecovered]

[Wash is in a lounge, having propped his omnicom on a piece of furniture so that the video shows him and the gun resting on his lap. That is definitely not his gun. Those quick on the uptake might also notice blood on his arm, like he's just been in a fight or something.]

Public service announcement: there's someone on the habitat deck in a skull mask running around and pointing guns at people's heads. He's kind of a dick, and evidently he can turn into a black cloud at will, like some kind of crossover between Ghostface and Imhotep.

[Has anyone seen either of those movies? No? Okay, moving on. He tilts the gun so it's more easily visible on camera, and yep, that is definitely one of Reaper's guns, and it is definitely not with Reaper.]

I didn't really appreciate him pointing this one at me, so I...called dibs on it. He can't have it back.

[It doesn't matter if you can't read expressions through armor; the self-satisfied smirk in Wash's tone is practically visible all on its own.]

He might still be up there, lying on the floor near the Egyptian temple. Unconscious. I may have stunned the hell out of him.

[Look at all zero of the regrets he has. Look at them.]

Also, I've decided our next movie night is going to be Scream, because when I call this guy a half-assed Ghostface ripoff, I really want you all to know what I'm talking about.

Private to Reinhardt

[unrecovered]

[Yikes. That answers some questions, at least.]

Should I ask?

[If Reinhardt doesn't want to get into it, Wash isn't going to push him.]

Private

[justicecrusader]

[ There was a brief moment where Reinhardt wondered if it was a good idea to talk about it. On the one hand, it wasn't something he wanted to discuss. But on the other, now that Gabriel was here, it was something that needed to be addressed. The dangers far outweighed any personal discomfort it could've caused Reinhardt.

So with a sigh, he steeled himself. ]

Back home, I belonged to an organization known as Overwatch. A peace keeping organization, responsible for stopping the ommic crisis, and maintaining the peace all across the globe. We were... too idealistic, some might say. [ See: 76 ] But we were peacekeepers, we were guardians of justice. We were a force for good...

... Until the man you fought destroyed it.

[unrecovered]

[Yyyyyyep he has definitely walked into something intensely personal here. From one person whose organization was utterly wrecked to another:]

I'm sorry.

[justicecrusader]

It is fine, that is not important.

What is important is that you have made a dangerous enemy, and I would advice you to be prepared for him.

[ He's not trying to lecture Wash, he's really not. He just wants the man to be aware of the gravity of the situation, especially given the target he painted on himself. ]

If you need my help, I will gladly lend my hammer.

[unrecovered]

I know.

[From what Ana's told him of Reaper, making himself a target to keep others out of the line of fire has the potential to backfire spectacularly. Too late to do anything about that now.]

There's a few of us going down to trap him. It's a stealth-heavy mission.

[Reinhardt is a great friend and ally. Reinhardt is also about as subtle as Maine - essentially, not at all.]

I'll call you if things go badly.

[justicecrusader]

[ Okay, that earns a laugh. ]

Yes, you are probably better off without a man the size of a studio apartment if you are attempting stealth.

[ That was probably an exaggeration. Or what it? ]

[unrecovered]

[He relaxes, just a bit.]

You said it, not me.

I'll get in a couple of punches for you if I can.

[justicecrusader]

[ He smirks a bit. ]

This is fine.
