"I want you to be honest with me."
"I don't think you do," Gabriel said steadily. "Because every time I try, you jump down my throat."
The kettle started to steam. Ana rubbed her face. "I don't know what you want from me," she said. "I'm not not going to be angry with you about this. You lied to us. You jeopardized everything we worked for."
"Blackwatch has done more legwork than Overwatch ever has. You may not like our methods, but you've been happy taking our results. We did this for Overwatch."
"Bullshit, Gabriel." The kettle was shrilling now and she pulled it off the burner and glared into her mug as she poured. "You did this because you were pissed about Gerard, about everyone in that building–"
"I saw to their damn caskets Ana, of course I was–"
"And I saw to their damn families, don't you dare make this into some pissing contest!" She wheeled to face him and he did seem remorseful, but now that she had started she couldn't stop. "Jack told me, he asked you, will this help us keep the world safe? And you knew it wouldn't but you did it anyway. Because you wanted revenge and because you thought making Talon think twice about hitting us was worth them not giving a second thought to hitting an entire city." She set the kettle back on the burner. Gabriel's mug and filter were all prepared but he did not touch it. "We're some of the most powerful people in the world, Gabriel. We can't just... go off and avenge people, no matter how bad they hurt us."
"I'd do it for you," Gabriel said, and that stopped her, because he was right. Gabriel talked a big game about how Blackwatch accomplished its mission by any means necessary, but whenever one of his loved ones was put in danger, everything else disappeared for him. She had seen him risk missions, risk his life, for Jack, for her. She would not be alive today if Gabriel did not love her as much as he did.
Ana prided herself on her instincts. She had excelled in the field in no small part because of how she could attune to every shifting gear in battle. Her gut never led her astray. But now, trying to imagine a situation where she would have to choose between Gabriel and Overwatch’s mission, Ana's gut was silent, and it terrified her. She knew she loved him and she knew she was furious with him and she did not know what she would do.
But she knew what she would want him to do if he were the one making the choice, and she could not trust him to give that to her. Not when he loved her so much.
Gabriel was watching her, waiting for her to respond. The kettle and her tea were growing cold.
"I know you would, Gabriel," she said softly. "And I love you. I do."
His whole body lightened at that, and he wrapped her up in a hug. She blinked against his shoulder.
"That's all I need," he said, and he sounded so relieved that she couldn't bear to respond. Wasn't it just like her, to humor his delusion.

Summary
Mccree looked uneasy, he scratched the back of his head. "It's nothing, really, old age's made you delusional."
"I love your sass..." Reyes grabbed the brunette's arms and push him towards the wall until his back was against it, caged him. "But not today, cowboy, start talking."
