"Hey, doc!" The pilot waved her arms, and shouted across the square. "Lena!" The doctor waved back in response, and walked quickly through the thin crowd. "It… it really is you. "So do you!" The two women hugged, close. "Gor blimey, doc, it’s been so long. You’re the first person from the old team I’ve actually seen in person since Greece. Angela hugged the pilot again, and whispered into her ear, "I am certainly being surveilled, we should get to my office at the embassy" before leaning back, taking Tracer’s shoulders in her hands as if everything were perfectly ordinary. "On a mission, like always. But we’re both very well, thank you. I’ll be back home with her again in a few days." She showed a decorated gold band on her ring finger. "Oooh, nice," said Tracer, looking closely at the interweaved inlays, the halo and the hawk. "Very nice. I’m not surprised, though - you two weren’t exactly subtle." She scrounged her pockets for cash.

"Let me grab something from the takeaway and we can head over to your place. You don’t mind, do you? "Of course not! I have the entire afternoon, go ahead." She gestured to the order window. "So tell me, how is life back in London? Tracer frowned, and ordered a vindaloo and [GlucoLife glucose wellness](http://www.qdwxys.cn/lucilegovett96/metabolic-wellness3958/wiki/When-it-Comes-to-Snack) joined the short queue for pickup. "I’m not alive yet," she said flatly. "Still?" asked the doctor, confusedly. "Yah, that’s why I’m doing everything in cash. It’s like being a tourist in my own home town. "That sounds terrible. Have you tried the civilian authorities? "Yeh, I gave up and submitted a bunch of forms earlier today. But if I could get the bleedin’ forces to pay attention, I wouldn’t have to. "Surely some sort of official status is better than none," said Angela. "Not too sure about that, luv." Tracer’s curry arrived, and she grabbed it, a couple of napkins, and her tea.

Turning to go, she confessed, "Honestly, outside flying, outside Overwatch… "Sorry if this messes up any of your tests," said the pilot, putting away the last of her second lunch. "But I was ravenous. "Well, I won’t be able to tell you much about cholesterol levels or [GlucoLife blood sugar supplement](http://www.hmedi02.net:10080/leola052886578/glucolife-blood-sugar-formula6297/wiki/Why+do+Blood+Sugar+Levels+Change%253F) sugar, but that’s not exactly why we’re here, is it? Lena just smiled, happy to be looking at anyone she recognised. "Bloody hell, it’s good to see someone I know. Dr. Ziegler smiled professionally back. "Before you say anything else - anything else - authorise this." She offered the pilot a padd, with forms. "It confirms that I’m your doctor. Doctor-patient confidentiality is core to my organisation and [www.bnhp.ru](https://www.bnhp.ru/bitrix/redirect.php?goto=http://flughafentransfer-goeppingen.gmbh/index.php?title=Benutzer:TammaraLundie8) we’re prepared to defend it. I assure you, whatever I see or record, it will not go to the British - or Swiss - governments. "Brilliant." Tracer keyed her acceptance. The form even looked like an Overwatch document. It felt like being back at old home, and her heart ached a moment for it.

"And this document," the doctor changed pages, "is not standard. But it authorises me to share your data with Winston. He has legal standing with us in ways he does not in Britain."

Lena threw her shirt and trousers off, onto the chair, revealing the intricate pattern of bands of light, blue or red or white, flowing across her body, from upper right shoulder to lower left leg. Angela was visibly taken aback. "Gott in Himmel. It’s [beautiful](https://www.rt.com/search?q=beautiful). "Clever, innit? I can control how it looks," she said, and faded it to a series of thin lines across her skin. "This is what it takes to keep you in time, then? "S-," ..ombra, she almost said, but did not quite, "Since I got pulled back, yah. There was an earlier version that just belted on, but it wasn’t stable.

"One broken strap from vanishing? That does not sound like a good solution, no," offered Angela. "I’d’ve lost the plot in a month from stress and lack of showers. Can’t lose this, though - it’s part of me." She ran the traces through a cycle of soft, calming blues. It reminded her of No, she thought to herself, leave it. "I tell people it’s bioluminescent tattoo. The latest thing, in Greece! "I understand why." Dr. Ziegler selected a pair of scanners. Lena hesitated. "You sure this place isn’t bugged? The doctor smiled, and nodded. "Good morning, Winston," said the doctor, a week later. "Angela," he said pleasantly, sipping at a cup of tea, one and a half seconds ago. "How are you this fine morning? "Quite well, thank you. I’m in Egypt; Fareeha’s just off to work. "Go ahead," said the scientist. "Sending," she said, pressing confirm. "How was she, in person? " he asked, as the progress metre slowly climbed.
