[Shooting at each other is one thing. Actually grappling is another entirely, and he tries to knock the gun away. His preoccupation with not getting shot allows Reaper to make his move.

The blow to the head comes out of nowhere--Reaper has a full mask, but 76's ~~gigantic~~ forehead is exposed, and he lets out a pained grunt at impact. He staggers backward, distance he manages determined by whether or not Reaper lets go.]

[Reaper's certainly not letting him go so 76 isn't going to be staggering back far. The shotgun clatters to the ground, Reaper's unconcerned at that - he can always recall more. It does give him a free hand again to dart up to try and close around 76's throat.]

[Well, the gun is gone, so that's a good thing. The bad news is that now he's got fingers around his throat. There's not much protection there to deter Reaper, and he responds reflexively, hand clawing at the grip, trying to keep him from closing down on his windpipe. He lets out an animalistic growl, the whole thing becoming less of a fight and more of a struggle.

His own rifle falls to the ground not long after the shotguns, and he lashes out with his now-free hand, scrabbling for a hold in the eyeholes of Reaper's mask, more in an effort to deter him than anything.]

[Reaper tries to jerk his head back, but it's not like he can go far, grappling as they are. The eyeholes of the mask are lined with only a thin dark plastic meant less for protection, more for only a HUD and easily punctured.

He half reflexively moves the hand not around 76's neck, intending to grab at the invading hand at his mask, but instead snaps up to join his other hand to try to keep a solid grip on 76's throat.]

[He's strong, that's for sure. Keeping Reaper off his throat is enough of an effort by itself, and doesn't leave much room for him to get good purchase on the mask. More than that--it's a familiar kind of strength, one he might recognize if he wasn't in the process of being strangled.

76 won't go down that easily. He's still trying to force fingers into those eyeholes, but he'll try for something more immediate, too, raising his knee and looking to nail Reaper right in the stomach.]

[Reaper's more preoccupied with keeping a solid grip on 76's throat and trying to keep his vision free of hands that the kneeing takes him by surprise. With a sharp hiss of pain, he jerks forward slightly, resisting his reaction to double over and tries to dig his talons in to try to keep hold.]

[He lets out an outright snarl, trying to use the opening to bowl them both over now that he's taken Reaper by surprise, but those claws are still around his neck and the grip isn't loosening.

This time, when he digs his fingers into the eyeholes of the mask and pulls back, it's with the intent of ripping it off.]

[When it comes down to it, Reaper would rather lose the mask than lose ground, and the mask is ripped away.

It's a familiar face that's been underneath the mask, Gabriel still recognizable even with his dark skin marred by more scars mostly along the left side of his face. Deep red eyes instead of brown, but they're just as cold as they were a handful of years ago in Zurich, and lips twisting into a snarl of anger.

Reaper momentarily looses his grip on 76's throat as he tries to hook a foot around one of 76's ankles to unbalance him, and to shove him to the floor.]

[Part of him has always known who he was going to find under the mask. If he survived, then of course Gabriel had, too, and it was just a matter of them catching up with each other. It doesn't explain anything about the whole de- and re-materialization thing, but the truth is that he would have been foolish to think that Reyes was dead.

The shock of seeing him, however, is another thing entirely. 76 is so caught off-guard that the rage takes a moment to catch up, giving Reaper the opening he needs to bowl them both over. He hits the ground with a growl, immediately lashing out with a fist at that exposed face. All he can do is hope that he hasn't compromised himself with his reaction, but the anger at seeing the man who, for all intents and purposes, killed him is almost overwhelming.]

Edited 2016-07-24 20:40 (UTC)

[Reaper is already pushing himself up as soon as they hit the floor and he jerks back to dodge the fist. He quickly shifts his weight, bringing a knee up to push down against 76's chest to try to keep him pinned. Without the voice filter in the mask, Reaper's voice is recognizable as well but rougher than Reyes' was, a hand quickly reaching down to close over 76's mask.

Like hell he's going to let himself be unmasked and not to the same in return to his attacker.]

Your turn.

[He's got no words anymore, not that he had many to begin with. The sheer shock of having Reyes in front of him combined with the surge of fury means he's sloppy, and the claws close over him before he can stop it. He scrabbles at Reaper's wrists, but he's pinned and he can't pull his hands away.

Despite his attempts to prevent it, Reaper has too good a grip with those talons. All it takes is one good yank for the mask and visor to snap off. It isn't painful, but a half-shout, half-growl escapes him anyway, and he can't even manage to block his face in time, leaving it completely exposed.

He knows he's recognizable, even after all he's been through. There isn't exactly anything he can do about it.]

[There's a small grin of satisfaction on Reaper's face once he has the mask and visor in hand, immediately swept away into stony unreadable expression at just who is behind it. He can't help it - it bubbles up through his throat and he begins to laugh, managing to spit out his next few words in between laughter.]

Should have known.

[He should have known Jack would have survived, even his own was questionable at best, he still lived. Should have been watching for the signs as they fought, instead of just thinking he was just some ex-Overwatch agent with a grudge, but the anger his words provoked, it all made sense now.]

[All it takes is that one sardonic remark for 76's face to contort into a snarl, suddenly overcome with all of the anger and hatred about seeing each other again, this time without masks in between them. Should have known. They both should have.

The laugh is what does it, and with a burst of strength his hand shoots out, aiming to grab Reaper by the face--and if he can't do that, he surges forward, trying to switch their positions.]

[Whatever Reaper was about to say dies unceremoniously in mid first syllable as a hand closes over his face. He tries to snarl, immediately lashing out with a hand to try and grab 76 by the throat again.]

[The hand around his throat doesn't matter, not when he's got a grip, too. It does mean he has to keep one hand around Reaper's wrist, making sure he doesn't get choked out.

It's more a stop-gap than anything else. He grunts out a few words.]

Is this what you wanted?

[Reaper stills at the words, expression unreadable, and his grip easing but not letting go of 76's throat.

It's a broad question. But does it matter, does it need elaboration? The answer is going to be the same. It's comes out quiet, honest, and tired.]

No.

[He laughs, a sound that manages to be bitter and sad and angry and hollow all at once. This isn't exactly how he expected this to go, and he feels the slightest ease of the grip around his throat. 76 almost wishes Reaper would just commit to strangling him.]

Why?

[It's so many questions all rolled up in one word. He can't manage to articulate anything further than that.]

[He's probably got far too many answers to that simple question. Far too many reasons, far too many things that he's done over the years. He can't, he likely won't voice all of his answers, but some he can in a clipped tone tinged with anger.]

Overwatch was done. It was too late, there was no saving it.

[Realization came too little too late. How at the end of the day, he still thought of Overwatch as his, no matter how long Jack had led it for. Nothing he could do to could save it, after all he had his own hand in what happened with Blackwatch, but he had the tools to put it out of it's misery.]

I just ended it quicker than the UN would have.

[It's not at all an adequate explanation, and somehow it hurts more than what he expected. Nevermind the fact that he'd spent the days and weeks and months before the incident at Swiss HQ desperately trying to hold Overwatch together. Who was Gabriel to decide what could and couldn't be saved? At least he'd tried. The very idea that Reyes even thought burning it all to the ground was an adequate solution is so ridiculous that he can't believe it's the answer.

Didn't he know how much Overwatch meant to him? How, in destroying it, Reyes had destroyed him, too--but, of course, that had been the idea, hadn't it?

Filled with a renewed fury, the only response 76 gives is an outright snarl, pushing all of his body weight up in an attempt to fling Reaper off him.]

Edited 2016-08-01 06:30 (UTC)

[Burning it all to the ground, themselves included, had been the idea. It was, at the core, selfish, but he didn't care. There was nothing concrete he could find to save Overwatch, between Blackwatch missions he actually authorized, and Talon within, there had been nothing he could do. And that had been only Blackwatch's hand in the downfall.

In response to 76 trying to throw him off, Reaper raises up to slam his knee and weight back down onto 76's chest, intending to knock the wind out of him.]

Fucking boy scout, never figured out how deep the corruption went, did you?

You son of a bitch.

[His words are guttural, more of a howl than anything, and he thrashes again in the instant before Reaper's knee comes down on him, crushing the air out of his longs. He gasps, coughs, claws desperately for purchase against Reaper's face, consumed more and more by animalistic rage with each passing second. It's the only way he can process this.]

You don't get to make that choice.

[Said as if the choice wasn't made six years ago, but the very notion that Reaper--Reyes--his colleague, his brother-in-arms, his friend thought that the only solution was to quite literally end him and everything they built together is almost unbearable. Blackwatch had been the source of all that corruption in the first place, hadn't it? And here's Reaper, thinking that orchestrating Jack Morrison's murder was going to solve the problem, somehow.

That's why he'd been so blindsided, he thinks. Jack as he was had never expected such desperate measures, not from Gabriel.]

[Reaper makes a grab for 76's clawing hand after a few attempts to dodge away, angry red marks left by the gloves across his skin. His voice comes out in a low, angry growl.]

I already did.

[The choice had been far too easy in some respects, knowing that Overwatch and Blackwatch were rotting away underneath a thin veneer. With everything he had once believed in worn away, and friends? He felt he no longer had any at his back at that point. Jesse had already left, Ana was gone, and every encounter with Jack was a confrontation of one streak or another. What could be done, if he couldn't find it, when it on behind his back? It was never meant as a solution, just to bring about an end.]

And what were you gonna do? Make a fool martyr of yourself?

I was trying to fix it.

[There's desperation in his voice, even though the truth is that there was nothing he could have done to save Overwatch. 76 will maintain that he at least tried. If that makes him a martyr, so be it. He knows full well he cared too much.]

You're the one who went off the rails.

[With whatever the hell he thought he was doing with Blackwatch.]

Edited 2016-08-05 18:13 (UTC)

[Reaper snorts, but he's not going to disagree with that assessment of his actions. It's really a convoluted knot of desperate measures, paranoia, responsibility and emotions that drove him to using Blackwatch as a tool to bring down the rest of Overwatch. He leans down closer, pretty certain of what Jack's idea of fixing the problem might have boiled down to.]

And you throwing yourself to the wolves wouldn't have fixed anything.

[You idiot boyscout, goes unspoken in his tone.]

Edited (adjusted wording s'all) 2016-08-06 20:33 (UTC)

[Yes, it would have. With the way Overwatch went down, everyone came under fire--if not before Swiss HQ, then after it. He thinks of Reinhardt, forcibly retired. Angela, interrogated by the UN. Ana.

He tells himself that if he'd been allowed to handle things, he could have taken the fall. Saved everyone so much unnecessary grief. The fact that Gabriel doesn't understand that makes him wonder if they were ever really friends in the first place.

Unable to physically turn the tables on him, 76 finally lets his hands fall.]

So burning it to the ground was your answer.
