“I’m pregnant.”

Those two words drove Genji away. And into a rage, you learned later. Tore up a training room, costing Overwatch a tidy sum. He hurt no one but his own cybernetics, thankfully, and gave himself a new tiny scar just below his right eye. Hearing that detail hurt you the most.

Commander Reyes kept you separated after that. He sat you down in his office and explained that Dr Ziegler was cramming psychology courses in her free time (you were taken aback that she had any free time at all) in order to get through to Genji and convince him the world wasn’t coming to an end. He trusted her the most besides you, and bringing an outside shrink in to deal with him might not be the best course of action.

It was of course upsetting, but you had a baby on the way. You sucked it up and went to work at the desk job Blackwatch gave you. You gave birth to a baby girl, and you hadn’t seen hide nor hair of Genji the whole time.

He did show up, tentatively approaching, at baby Sophie’s six month mark. He looked different. Gone was the angry red and black. He was covered in silver and white and maroon. You couldn’t see his face. He promptly removed the mask covering his eyes and asked if he could see her. You were holding her, so he came up beside you to get a look at her face.

“She’s beautiful,” he said in awe.

You smiled at that, and his posture relaxed.

“She has both our best features,” Genji continued, giving her tiny nose barely a poke with the pad of his finger. He sighed dramatically. “Unfortunately, that means I’m going to have to murder every man on the planet.”
