Father Ludwig

Summary:

Would you ever believed that Overwatch Sweet Angel Mercy is actually the team RED crazy Medic's daughter? No? I thought so)
So this is AU where I did that. I hope you enjoy)
I'm already sorry for all mistakes, as english is not my first language!

Notes:

So, Hi! Here's some warnings.
That's my AU, so that's not canon.
I tried to bring Medic's german accent in text, and I will try to add other accents too, so sorry for that.
And also here Angela grew in germany, so she has german accent too.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1

Chapter Text

After Overwatch fell apart, Angela couldn't think of something to do. She came back to the Switzerland, to her home. She got to work at the local clinic. But... Something was off... She couldn't tell what exactly was off. But something was definitely off... Maybe it was the feeling of missing the battle? The helping? She really didn't know. But what she did know is that she needed to get a job as a field Medic. If not Overwatch... Than what? Hmm...

Angela was sitting in her office at home, staring at the blank sheet of paper. She wanted to write her father. She never really mentioned any family at all, but she did have a father. A still living father. She wasn't really proud of his methods... But she did inherited his love for medecine. He was working at this old company Mann.Co, that was making a war between two teams for the reason she didn't know. She wanted to write her father about her situation and ask him what she should do, as he always seemed to have an answer. As she gathered her thoughts, her hand reached for the pen and started writing.

The Teufort mailpost
June 21, 2016

Guten Morgen, Tag und Abend,
Lieber Vater

I hope this letter finds you well and in high spirits. I haven't wrote you in a long tim, but can assure that I am fine and well. But I couldn't say the same about my job. The Overwatch had fell apart. And I don't know what to do further.

I am writing you in hope that you could help me to think of something else to do. As I miss the work of field doctor. And I hope the thing that you would suggest me, would be fitting enough for me to settle for at least some time.

With my best regards,
You're Liebe Angela

She looked the letter all over one time. Then another. And putted it into the envelope with a sigh. She knew her father would think of something reckless. But for once in her life she didn't minded it. Next morning she took it to the mailpost, and send it off.

The answer didn't took long to arrive. It arrived on a Sunday afternoon, a week later. When she took it inside and sat at the sofa to read it, she could smell the ever familiar smell of dried blood an antiseptic on the envelope and the paper itself. The paper was a bit, wrinkled, and clearly stained with blood. But she didn't mind it. Growing up with a surgeon father left a big impression on her. She immediately recodnised her fathers jerked handwriting. It was mix of German and English. But as she thought a bit earlier, she was used to her father's antics. The letter surprised her just a bit. Her gentle brows lifted from a frown to a bit surprised position.

Hallo, mein lieber Engel!

Ahhh, mein liebes Engelchen! I am zo glad you are okay!!! Gott in Himmel, I vas so very verklemmt after your last letter — ven you said you joined zat verdammt Overwatch! But ja, I am good now, sehr gut, ja! Zo! You are bored, ja? Hmm? Vell, how about joining your old Mann on ze battlefield, hm? You could join ze RED team, you know! Ach, it vould be sooo wunderbar! I do hope you like zis idea, ja ja!

Your Liebe Vater
Dr. Ludwig aka RED Medic

P.S. Archimedes says hallo, and that he misses you!♥

She blinked at the words about joining the RED team. But then she thought about it. Actually... It was not all bad idea. Yes, they were mercenaries. Yes, they were killing eachother. But... She would be with her father. With his doves. And she would be the field doctor again. She smirked to herself. Her eyes sparkled with her fathers enthusiasm. And she immediately stood up for pen, to immediately write a message back, asking her father to talk with Administrator, or whoever was in charge of the Mann.Co, so she could join the RED team.

The Angel was back. But now, as the Deadly Angel.

Chapter 2: Mann.Co building

Notes:

Oh my god! I was stunned when I saw that someone at kwast read my work so soon! I hope you really like it))

Chapter Text

When Angela arrived to the building of Mann.co, she wad a bit surprised with its size and all what was going on. But she just took a breath and went in. And as she was trying to find someone to ask were is Mr. Hale, as her father mentioned. But suddenly everything went dark, as two hands from behind her covered her eyes. The hands were warm, but covered in elastic gloves. Angela touched the big hands curiously, trying to understand who it was. But then she heard the voice.

— Guess who, Meine Liebe Engel~! - a sing-a-song came from behind her. The german accent was thick, and she never could be fooled by that ever eccentric voice.

— Vati... It is not funny. - she said sighing, but otherwise sounding quite amused.

Medic laughed and took away his hands, instead hugging Angela from behind and kissing her top of the head. As Angela looked up she saw the familiar face of her father. He didn't changed much... Same sharp nose with bump. Same glasses. Same piercing blue eyes. She giggled along with his laugh, and leaned into his hug.

— Hallo, Vati. - she said casually. - What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be at the RED base? - Medic giggled at that.

— Vell. I do suppose to be zere! But I couldn't take the thought of you being here alone and confused! So! I came here to help you! - said Medic, as he beamed proudly at her.

Angela just sighed and nodded, letting the older man lead her to the elevator and straight to upper floor. Through the ride her father wouldn't shut up about how excited he was about her joining in, and how he already cleaned the lab(did he?) for her and all that stuff. When they arrived he leaded her to the office room. He let her walk in first and then also walked in closing the door. Inside the office she saw a woman, she looked like she hadn't slept since ww2... She was dressed in purple shirt, and black skirt. She looked like a woman her father described in the letter. Miss Pauling. Angela gently nodded and smiled to her. Mrs. Pauling was clearly starled by Angela being so nice and sweet, and turned to Medic with questioning look. Medic just shrugged, and pushed Angela a bit in.

— Hallo, Frau Pauling! Meet Angela! I told you about her, remember? My daughter! - Dr. Ludwig smirked and placed a hand on Angela's shoulder. Pauling sighed a bit and nodded. She stood up and walked around her desk to greet Angela.

— Good evening, Miss Ludwig, nice to meet you. As your father mentioned, I am Flo Pauling, you may call me Miss Pauling. Your father said that you want to join team RED? - she asked raising her eye brow. Angela nodded and smiled.

— Yes. I know it's maybe an unusual request, but I really want to work with my Vater, and I have a big experience with field medecine, so O won't slow the team. - Angela said confidently.

— Ja! Mein Engel here, vas top of her class in school and university! She is a genius in medecine! - he said proudly, tightening his arm around her shoulders slightly. Angela felt a bit embarrassed.

— Vati... - she covered her face with a hand, while Medic beamed proudly. Flo just chuckled and nodded. She took out a contract out of her desk and putted it on the desk.

— Here. You can sign it, and you will officially join in. I don't guarantee you will be alive by next week, but it could be fun. - she said with a small smirk.

Angela looked down at the contract. Her lips spread in a deep smirk, copying her father's signature smirk. She casually took the pen and wrote a wide and curly signature on the lower corner of the contract. Her father hugged her shoulders and pressed his side of the head against hers smirking with her. He then proudly kissed her temple and laughed. Angela beamed at him. Pauling just sighed and thought to herself: Well, it seems we getting second Medic on the field... And she is the copy of her father...

And it was true. The team RED just gained a second Medic. But she is just the same as her insane father. And maybe they should fear her coming more than the doctor himself. As she was the only who could outpower him.
