"I have her in my sights. She's not going anywhere." Hanzo voiced over his earpiece. He was currently aiming his bow at Widowmaker, the infamous, ruthlessly efficient assassin who showed neither emotion nor remorse. Resting nicely upon the ledge of the rooftop was her rifle and right behind it the assassin herself, still looking down the scope but now fully aware of the man behind her. His voice had been the only indication that anyone was even there.
Amelie tightened her grip on the rifle. She hated surprises, and she scolded herself for getting so careless. Sniping demanded her full attention, it was how she managed to never miss, but this time the fixation had cost her.
Just then, short bleep came from Hanzo's ear as his comms buzzed to life. He heard a voice he recognized. It was Winston - the super-intelligent, genetically engineered gorilla behind Overwatch's covert resurgence.
"Good work, Hanzo. We're heading to your position now. Keep her there." Winston told him. Then the comms went quiet again.
Amelie didn't have to hear them to know what they were saying. How this man had snuck up on her she didn't know, but it wouldn't be long before the rest of his friends arrived. Then she was going to have a real problem. A big one.
Mildly annoyed, she turned her head slightly from her scope and asked him, "Are you always this quiet?"
"That depends..." Hanzo said. "Are you always so oblivious?"
"Only when I'm trying to kill something." Amelie seethed. She narrowed her eyes behind the scope. "You cost me my target."
Hanzo chuckled. "It seems things didn't go as you planned. Aren't spider's supposed to be good at ambushing?"
"Do you know what you're doing? You're making a mistake." Amelie shot back. She left her rifle and turned around to face her captor. "It's not too late if you let me go. You can still join Talon. They could restore your famiy's empire."
Hanzo pulled his arrow back even further. "No... My past as a Shimada is long behind me. My place is with Overwatch now. And my brother."
Amelie seemed unaffected by his words as she began to stride towards Hanzo, swaying her hips as she did. She made sure he got a long look at her. "That's a shame, really. Talon had such high hopes for you. You would've made a great asset."
"What are you-"
Amelie got right in front of him. They crossed eyes for a moment as she silenced the man by gently pushing his bow aside so that they were face to face. "You should reconsider." she spoke softly.
Amelie leaned in closer. Hanzo could feel his nerves electrifying as they exchanged gazes again. She smelt of lilac and her own mystique - an alluring mix that made the archer's blood burn. She knew what she was doing getting this close to him. He could feel his pull on the arrow relax.
"Oh, you are dangerous..." Hanzo said in a low voice. "But I'm no slave to my desires."
"Is that so...?" Amelie challenged. She reached her hand down and whisked it teasingly across his groin until she felt a noticeable bulge. She then tugged at the waistband, humming naughtily. "Something tells me that's not true."
"Don't." Hanzo said, but his verbal protest did very little to hide the arousal that laced itself through his words and was prodding at his hakama. Damn it... She was playing him like a fiddle.
Amelie's lips curved upwards. She obliged, but then in a low voice, she said into his ear, "We both know what you really want."
Without another word, Amelie buried her face into his shoulder and sighed contently. Her skin was smooth, like butter, and Hanzo revelled in its impossible softness. He could feel her warmth as she rubbed her cheek along the side of his face. The merest touch electrified his senses to the tips of his fingers and toes. How anything could be so perfect he didn't know. He just wished to keep experiencing it over and over, like a song on replay.
The rooftops were shadowed and quiet at this time of night. The only thing Hanzo heard as they stood there was the soft thrum of traffic far off in the distance and the muffled blowing of a cool night wind. They were the only ones around. In the silence, he could hear his own shaky breathing as he exhaled.
Hanzo let go of his bow. Along with the arrow, he leaned it against a short wall offered by the rooftop's ledge. With his hands free, he pulled Amelie closer, pressing her breasts into him and placing one hand on the back of her neck and the other on her dorsum, running them along with complete impunity. Her sweet smell filled his nostrils and made his heart race. He couldn't help himself. He had hardly ever recieved any compassion as a child, and this was the nearest feeling he could get to that. For once, he felt he was close to something. Even if it was only for a moment. The feeling of her skin, her body, against his was like none other.
"You got me..." Amelie said quietly. The woman took pleasure in their embrace more than she liked to admit. She had respect for any man who had the skills to sneak up on her like that.
"We shouldn't be doing this. We're on opposing sides." Hanzo reminded her.
"That's what makes it interesting." she replied.
Amelie suddenly picked up her head. A voice in the distance grabbed her attention. It wasn't too far from where they were.
"Hanzo!" the voice yelled.
Hanzo recognized who the voice belonged to. "Genji." he stated. "My allies..."
"This is where we part ways." Amelie said as she pulled away from him.
Hanzo watched as she retreated back across the rooftop. The brief moment was fading before his eyes. "I can't guarantee your safety the next time we meet." he advised her.
"You don't have to."
Hanzo paused for a moment. "Can I expect to see you again?"
Retrieving her rifle, Amelie said, "That's up to you. You have a way of sneaking up on me, don't you? I'm sure you'll find out where I am." She turned to leave. "Au revoir, Hanzo Shimada."
And with that, Widowmaker grappled away into the vastness of the city quickly swallowed her up. She was gone as fast as she had came.
"Hanzo!" the voice said again.
Hanzo glanced behind him to see his brother, Genji, and Winston arriving onto the scene not a second later.
"When we got your message, we came as quick as we could. Where's Widowmaker?" Genji asked. He didn't see anybody but Hanzo around.
Hanzo stayed silent.
He was going to have to lie to his own teammates.
