Lenaminophen's #MyAnthology Post - Reunion

Hello again, loves!

I was hesitant on doing this challenge because I wasn't sure which comic I should tackle on, as well as I felt like my writing wouldn't be strong enough. So I had to think of something I knew I could write for. Then I ed that one in the Reflections comic ( No not THAT scene) where Pharah was eating dinner with a mysterious man. Going by how he appears it that he could be Pharah's father...or at least that what many people are speculating.

And it was his that inspired me to do this challenges. So I hope you all enjoy this!

How much longer do I have to be here?

This was the thought that kept repeating in Fareeha Amari's mind as she kept up her facade of fake smiles at the man who sat in front of her. She hadn't seen this man is a very long time and thing couldn't be any more awkward, which was said because his was the same man who fathered her. It shouldn't be this weird yet here they were. She began to regret agreeing to meet him here.

The entire night they struggled to find any common ground. They realized that through the years that their tastes have greatly differed and they weren't as close as they used to be. They sat there in what seemed like their seventh cycle of awkward silence of the day. Pharah twirled the spaghetti in her plate desperate for something to say. Her father took a drink desperate to do the same.

Then a lightbulb went off in his head.

"So...uh...how's things going over at Overwatch?"

Fareeha immediately stop twirling and looked at him, eyes full of dread. She leaned over the table and spoke in a whisper. "How do you know I work for Overwatch?"

"I keep tabs on on you and your mother. I know all about the work you two do together. I know...I know that you two are doing is illegal. Now don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Your secret is safe with me."

Fareeha was now greatly concerned, after all it was against the law to still be associated with Overwatch. She began to worry about what would happen if word got out about their jobs. What would become of Overwatch? What would become of them? But then something clicked in the back of her mind.

"If you're so invested enough to learn about our occupations why on earth weren't you invested enough to give us a call all those years?" She dropped her forkand rested her head on her hands, glaring at her father waiting for his answer.

"So where doing this now?" Her father leaned back on his chair, his fear of this conversation finally coming to .

"Yes, we are. In case you haven't noticed you weren't exactly the most active father."

"Ok fine!" He spoke in a weary tone...almost defeated, "I know I haven't been there for you and your mother a lot like I should've been. And I'm not gonna make any excuses either. I know things were hard without me there."

"Oh don't flatter yourself!" Fareeha scoffed. "We're made it perfectly fine without you. We didn't need you."

"Maybe you're right." Her father continued. "You two ended up just fine without me. Your mother did a good job raising you. I'm sorry I couldn't be a part of it. I know my apologies don't mean anything know, but please know I do deeply love you. And I want to make up all the time I could've had with you. That's why I invited you here tonight. To try to fix what was broken between us. I want to be a part of your life again, Fareeha. If it's not too late."

The intensity of Fareeha's glare eased up at her father's last sentence. "You really mean that?"

"Yes, I do." Her father places his hand on top of his daughters and looked at her with the love and care a father could give. "Despite what you may think of me, I will always love you Fareeha."

Touched by his words, she gave him a warm smile as she gently pulled away her hand and and began they began eating again. She wouldn't it it, but this was something she wanted to hear for a very long time. Blinking back tears of joy, she continued talking.

"So what do you want to know about Overwatch?"
