Two Dudes Being Guys, Two Guys Being Dudes, Two Gays Being Dads.
Gabriel hissed, feeling his face sear and reshape as it dealt with the cuts and scrapes he'd gained from the fight. Talon really wasn't letting up this time.
His mask had long since been destroyed, contributing to some of the injuries on his face, a few shards sticking to his cheeks and generally not helping with healing. Why did he take the hardened ceramic one this time?
"Tactical Visor Activa-" Jack was cut off with a yell, a Talon agent armed with a shotgun shooting directly at his head. Well, there went his visor too.
A quick teleport behind the offender, and Gabriel's own shotgun to the back of the little shit's head removed the threat to Jack.
"Well shit." Jack grunted as they both fell back. They had to get the gauntlet from Talon.
"You can say that again." Gabe grunted.
"Where's Mercy?" Jack fired a Helix Rocket at another enemy.
"Not a clue. Last I checked, Hanzo and Pharah were down for the count. I think she's dealing with them and having Genji watch over."
"Should have brought Reinhardt." Jack muttered.
"That's what I said." Gabe huffed. "Be right back, rearranging their faces."
Teleporting over to above the stair case near the point, Gabe sneaked through the building and onto the ledge above the first objective, jumping down into the centre of the enemy group.
"Hello boys. Death's here."
And securing the point was as easy as spinning around and shooting.
"Well, that was overly dramatic." Jack huffed, walking over to the transport to hot-wire it into going.
"Shut up, Morrison, you ugly boy scout."
The transport made a DING and came to life, lights turning blue, engine turning on to facilitate movement.
Jack smirked. "Boy scouts didn't teach me how to suck-"
"No I did." Gabriel rolled his eyes, turning to see Hanzo and Genji running over to them.
"How you doing, Handsoap?" Gabe grinned, raising an eyebrow.
"I am better now." Hanzo scowled. "Fuck-boy."
Hanzo almost stumbled over the words, testing them out. Genji subtly raised a thumb to show support.
Gabe scoffed, moving towards his so-called best friend as the payload began to push forward.
Reaching Hanzo, he tugged the ribbon in the man's hair, pulling Hanzo's head down as far as he could as he passed. He barely dodged Hanzo's bow flicking out in retribution.
"All right children, enough. You can mess around later. Hanzo, I want you to stay on top of the payload and snipe anything you see that isn't ours. Genji run on ahead and keep us posted. On that note, where's Pharah-"
As though summoned, Pharah dropped in from above, Mercy landing daintily beside her.
"Support has arrived."
"Good. Keep close. Pharah, stick to the skies and try and keep the attention off of Hanzo." Jack pointed to the bowman standing atop the payload.
The route was extraordinarily quiet, Genji noting so as they reached a series of shops.
"I believe we are about to trap the spring." Hanzo murmured, pulling out one of his remaining sonic arrows.
"Spring the trap, Hanzo, and I agree." Jack checked his gun, glancing to see Gabriel drop and pull another set of shotguns from his coat.
"Damn that cowman." Hanzo grumbled, firing at the most likely hiding spot. Immediately the huds on everyone's contact lenses showed bodies of red, Talon agents trying to get the drop on them. A scatter arrow quickly followed, downing several of the red silhouettes, but alerting the enemy to the trap backfiring.
Pharah's rockets came firing down at doors, strategically being shot to prevent any of the enemy from leaving their hiding spots and truly get the drop on them. Genji dropped in from a ledge, sword swinging to deflect oncoming fire.
"Talon really want this gauntlet." Gabriel muttered, shooting another Talon agent that approached them. "They also have really shit shotguns."
"At least they respect their weapons." Hanzo called, arrows finding their marks in people's heads.
"Seconded." Jack smirked, taking out another three Talon.
"I third my brother's statement." Genji zipped across the battlefield.
"Agreed."
"I would prefer not to make a comment."
"Fuck all of you." Gabriel grumbled, teleporting up on top of the ledge. "Tell me when a bunch of them need killing, but please die soon."
The Talon petered out, corpses literring the ground. Gabe jumped back down from his position up top, landing next to Hanzo.
"I still don't like this, hermano."
"Neither do I. But we must press on. Talon cannot have the gauntlet."
"What if they want us to have the gauntlet?" Gabe asked, looking thoughtfully at the object.
"Do not do this to me again." Hanzo growled, punching Gabriel's arm lightly.
The payload continued on, slowly reaching the designated pick up point.
"Winston and the others will be there once we call in." Jack reminded them, dashing out ahead to check the way was clear.
"Still not liking this." Gabriel sing-songed, shifting his stance atop the payload.
"I have a final sonic arrow, if you wish."
"Nah, save it. We probably won't-"
A loud, high pitched noise pierced their ears as soon as the payload reached the checkpoint. With everyone clutching their ears, no one payed mind to the balls rolling to their feet until it was too late, bright flashes taking up their vision and blinding them temporarily.
Gabriel found himself staring up at the sky, silently wondering why he deserved all of this instead of being able to eat food and sleep all day.
"-s why I wear a fucking visor, god damn, can anyone hear anything yet?!" Jack's voice came into focus.
"Fuck my life." Gabriel added helpfully.
"No, I'll fuck you instead, now get up Reyes, we've got shit to do apparently." Jack hauled Gabriel back up, pulling him to the side as bullets riddled the place he'd been seconds prior.
"My vision is still impaired, I do not know if I can shoot." Hanzo grunted, slamming into the wall beside them, bullets landing just above his head.
The sounds of Genji and Pharah already fighting off the surprise attack alerted them to the other two being fine.
"Where's Zeigler?"
"She's with me." Pharah answered, rocket jumping up above the enemy. "Justice rains from above!"
The agents fell quickly, but more assumed their position and began firing at their new target. Genji used the sudden distraction to flit back into the fray, summoning his own dragon to assist him.
"How are you doing with that dragon of yours?" Jack turned to Hanzo.
"Ask it yourself." he grinned, rushing out of his place to fire a scatter arrow at the enemy. Jack and Gabriel helped lay suppressive fire with Pharah, allowing Hanzo to get into position and attack with his own ability.
As the dragons rushed past and downed the largest group, they quickly picked off the rest, Hanzo having to resort to hand to hand combat part way through the last of the fighting.
Jack turned back to find Gabriel on the ground, thighs wrapped around a Talon agent's head, the dying agent desperately trying to remove him. With a sick crack, the man's neck broke, and Gabriel let go, rolling onto his feet and dusting his coat off.
Jack smirked and grabbed Gabriel's chin, leaning in to kiss the other man before being pushed back.
"Stop it Morrison, that's gay." Gabriel wrinkled his nose, eyes glinting with mischief.
"What?" Jack gawked, shaking his head as to try and remove the confusion.
"An you know who's gay?" Gabriel smirked.
"Who?"
"Us." Gabriel attacked quickly, lips reaching the tip of Jack's nose and pulling away before the man had fully registered what happened, Gabriel's wraith form smoking away from him being the only proof he'd been close.
Jack blinked.
"Well, that was mighty cute, if I do say so m'self." McCree chimed in, tilting his hat at Jack.
The cavalry had arrived, and with it, evac.
"You look good without your mask on, Dad." D.Va called, waving from inside her mech.
Jack groaned, hearing Gabriel chuckle from afar.
"Asshole."
