[It's been a mere day after their first rendezvous in five years, after Gabriel left Jack alone with a menacing threat to keep in touch. He wanted to see if his feet ever quite find the ground again, with some distance and time to think. When that definitely does not happen, and Gabriel decides there's no reason for him to go on any longer without Jack, he heads out. He didn't get a taste of his man after the two of them were murdered just to go into a dry hell of NOT having him all over again.
But only if this new identity, Soldier: 76, is truly what the Reaper needs. Gabe's head cleared enough for that much. It's been a long time, and they have a lot of catching up to do.
The Reaper has requested Soldier: 76's presence in the general area of the old Overwatch R&D hub in Seattle. Just in time for an alleged Talon raid. Once again, not Talon personnel. He collects visual confirmation to send along to Sombra, and waits until the situation is well and truly fucked for any rational and living being to storm the battlefield.
[Keep in touch. In their line of work, that was just as good as an invitation to do a little recon. It didn't take much. They really were haunting all the same places; Soldier was already en route to Seattle when the summons came.]
Reaper.
[There's a rumbling undertone to the way he says it. Not quite cocky enough to be pleased.]
[purrs over the comm. A little thrill goes through him from just hearing the sound of Jack's voice again, which really, he ought to be too old for that.]
