a buddy of mine said that he saw jack morrison take his shirt off in the shower
Who: Angela Ziegler, Soldier: 76, special guest Solid Snake, extra special guests Reinhardt and Reaper and Mei
When: Early February
Where: The Ingress entrance to Eosoros and then some other places maybe
What: Basically the part of Undercover Boss where the boss stops being undercover, except with fewer monetary gifts
Warnings: Blood, medical business, an angry old man
[76 arrives on Thisavrou very, very angry.
He’s usually angry, but generally speaking, he manages to keep said anger to a low simmer if only to function on a day-to-day basis. Arriving on this new planet after the ordeal at the Midway Hub, finding that all he can really do is sit and wait for his number to be called means that anger gets the better of him, even as he attempts to settle in (but 'settling in' is for other people). 76 takes one of the security gigs on Eosoros in a bid to do something productive, and that's sort of when things come to a head.
He’s angry, and he screws up.
It’s not really his fault, he thinks. It’s easy to blame the client (too reckless, an idiot, doesn’t listen to him, gets them both in a bad situation), but probably 76 could have handled this better. He should have bailed when things started to go south or ditched the client entirely or not taken the job in the first place—the money for a security detail wasn’t worth any of that, but he’s still boiling over with ire about the whole situation and that’s enough to make him do very stupid things, like throwing himself down in order to save both their asses when the client proves too incompetent to make it through the stupid torture gauntlet.
Hindsight, however, is twenty-twenty, and he’s not exactly coherent as he drags them both back through the Ingress and is immediately sidelined for medical attention. 76, too angry to care about decorum or not making a scene, immediately makes a scene. Someone is trying to hold him down, if only to keep him from getting blood everywhere before a medic arrives. The Savrii, however, are hard-pressed to subdue an enhanced human like him, especially when he’s in absolutely no mood to listen to reason.
Under duress, 76 becomes all but feral, hissing and spitting and doing everything in his power to get out and away, even if that means ignoring the fact that he's wounded and throwing all his self preservation out the window (said like he had any to begin with). It’s only the nature of his injury that keeps him from making an effective escape, though that doesn’t mean he isn’t going to try.]

I get that a lot.
[Always trying, usually at the expense of something else. Too hard. He doesn’t lower his gun (because he can’t discount the possibility that Reaper isn’t armed, but he makes no move to aim it. The roll of his eyes is practically audible.]
How long have you been up there?
no subject
[Which of course also means: long enough to see that Ana was gone. Reaper disappears in favor of smoking his way down to re-materialize in front of Jack, sans guns. With the reassurance that he'd held his fire when he had a kill shot, and the knowledge that he could still wraith away if he suddenly grew a pair, there was no reason to stay hidden.]
How long are you gonna play this game, Morrison? Owning property. Raising livestock.
no subject
He doesn't think that's happened either, but he notes the lack of guns when Reaper coalesces in front of him. He doesn't flinch, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of seeing him intimidated.]
You act like I want to be playing it.
[Like he wants to be doing this. Sitting around and waiting and taking security contracts that barely push the limits of his abilities. Like he wants to be managing a homestead while his mission goes unfulfilled. The only satisfaction he gets is that Reaper is stuck here, too. What's he doing? Haunting the barn? They're both stuck, unable to make any real progress on their respective tasks unless they want to try and kill each other again.
Which might happen, still. Jack isn't discounting it.]
You're stuck here, too.
no subject
[Sarcasm? Taunting? A mixture of both? Either way, Reaper is clearly not interested in hearing Jack's protests. With Angela focused on building her life and clientele here, he could in turn focus on keeping Soldier: 76 on his toes where he belonged.
And then, one day, a grave.]
I could think of a few alternatives.
[He crosses over to the hive nearest him, folding his arms high across his chest.]
no subject
[If things were different. Jack would be lying if he said he didn't sometimes imagine some kind of life like this, not too many years from now. Those thoughts, however, exist in a time before Overwatch crumbled the way it did--and even if it hadn't, he's more than self-aware enough to know that he wouldn't be able to stand a quiet, idyllic life.
There's still work to do, and the fact that he's being kept from it chafes. He doesn't know what he's going to do if Reaper's number comes up before his.
He's going to think what he likes either way, but Jack can't help but take a few steps to keep him in arms reach as he inspects the hive (because hiding in the barn wasn't good enough, apparently). Jack imagines that there are other, better things Reaper can do to actually hurt him than something as petty as kill some bees, but he can't help but hover anyway, prepared to strike out if he so much as tries to touch the wood structures.]
What do you want, Reyes?
[Get to the point. If they're going to fight, they might as well get started.]
no subject
[He does not get to the point -- after all, Ana already left him, and that would have been the easiest way to tear him down before getting rid of him too. He'd had plans, as he always did, but none of them were panning out.
Jack isn't the only one who's frustrated with life in its current state of being. Rather than acknowledge the fact that Jack was going to stop him from touching the hives, he lifts his claws to reach for them anyway -- like he's deep in thought.]
You know, Amari was smart to leave you behind here. If she hadn't, I would have taken her other eye, before I killed her in front of you.
no subject
[Meaning that Reaper should probably just say what he wants, even though Jack knows it won't ever be that easy, just like he's never in the mood to play games. If he's going to trash the barn, he might as well do it already.
It doesn't surprise him that he knows about Ana--or rather, the absence of her. Jack shouldn't let this bother him but it does anyway, most likely because it's Reyes who's saying it. He tries to swallow down the anger that threatens to rise in his throat, trying not to give Reaper any satisfaction.]
Missed your shot, I guess.
