Jamison was impatient to look what the ecopoint was like, Roadhog stayed sitting most of the trip, thinking to himself and firmly grabbed on to his gas can, waiting.
Days went by and Mako was having terrible sleeping problems, which was rare for him, usually was Jamison the one with sleeping issues, somehow Mako knew because of him they were in this situation. Roadhog watched his mate sleep facing the wall, breathing, wondering why and how was he sleeping at all, not feeling nervous or troubled. He woke him up.
"Junk"
"Yeah mate?" Junkrat said. He wasn't sleeping, he was wondering aswell, about himself, about Roadhog, about what will become of him now that he accepted to become "one of the good guys". He felt he wasn't prepared. But inside of him, he was feeling anxious, like the first day of school, meeting new people, making friends, failing at the most simple exercise...
"What are you thinking?" Roadhog asked.
Jamison turned around facing Mako, sitting in the bed next to him "I..., for the first time i feel like i'm overthinking something you know." Jamison sat on his bed and continued "...You know me, since forever i suppose..." Junkrat became serious remembering things he thought he had forgotten. "... it wasnt that long ago, wasn't it?,... back when i met you, i had no one, and we did meet in an inusual way, but somehow i feel like i owe you my life, i hope you know what i mean" Jamison looked at Mako directly in his eyes "I want to thank you, and i hope that this new way of living will be better for you".
Roadhog laid down and speaking softly but firmly asked Jamison "What about you?"
"Nah don't worry bout me mate, i'm going to be fine..."
"Are you sure Jamison?"
Junkrat laid down, looking at the ceiling "I really don't want to talk about it... i don't want to lose myself..." Jamison turned back to the wall, thinking about his past. He didn't like to think, to think this amount of things would only lead him to an anxiety attack. His health, his mental health would not respond to him, he thought his mind would not turn off from overthinking, so he closed his eyes with fear, fear of knowing he had no control over his on mind.
"Hey, wake up."
"Huh?"
Jamison looked behind him, Soldier 76 was standing next to Jamison's bed. Junkrat only thought the night suddenly became too short. But he wasn't tired.
"What are we doing now?" He asked
"We're here, in a couple of minutes we'll be unpacking, put on your pants and prepare yourself, the weather is going to be cruel"
"We're here?!" Junkrat screeched, jumping out of bed and putting on his pants as fast as he could running towards one of the entrances of the ship while still setting on his peg leg, pressing the button to open the hatch.
Junkrat stared down to what was to him a treasure in itself, he had never seen snow in his life. Jamison stared, exited like a little kid, watching the light glittery snow from afar, was difficult to see because of the snow falling down, but Jamison could not close his eyes, he wanted to see everything. Everything he didn't even thought he could reach, not that he was interested, but he felt exited anyways.
"Oi Roadie!, come take a look, there it is! Hahaha!" Jamison yelled. Roadhog walked towards him, staring into the white abyss, and at the very end of it a grayish building could be seen.
"...Do ya think we can blow that place up?" said Jamison out loud as they were approaching their destination, the abandoned ecopoint near ecopoint Antartica. "We can hear you." Winston said through the mic of the ship.
The ship slowly descended right outside the ecopoint, the air was cold and had no mercy to the now shivering new reclutes, but while moving the boxes with food and supplies their bodies felt quite warm even though of the low temperatures. Roadhog carried most of the heavy bags and boxes inside the ecopoint. Jamison was too exited, so much so that it seemed as if he wasn't feeling cold at all, he was staring and admiring everything with intrigue.
"Hey, go inside, you have to make yourself comfortable, prepare your stuff in your assigned room. We'll be back in a month to check what have all of you researched." Soldier said as he was
"A month?!" Junkrat yelped, all of a sudden his excitement went away like a leaf in the wind.
"I thought i had already mentioned it... Maybe i didn't." Jack turned around and placed his hand in his forehead. "Have fun, mate."
Junkrat remained silent, he watched as Jack went inside the ship. Jamison wasn't sure, if he ever mentioned it, perhaps his excitement made a wall around him, maybe the amount of things he had in his head, or the sounds around him distracted him. He saw the ship elevate in the air and fly away from the place and thought, "(There's nothing i can do now can i?)", he waited until he could not see the ship and walked inside, the freeze was kicking in and he hurried inside with both arms around him, trying to not touch himself with his right hand since the breeze and temperatures had cooled the metal in his prosthetic arm. Jamison stood outside the door not knowing how to open it, there was no button outside, no panel, nothing, he was freezing. Just when he started looking a different entrance he got scared by the loud and fast song of the door opening, he hurried inside stealthily, trying to not lose his corporal warmth separating his arms or legs from each other.
"مرحبا"
"Huh?" Jamison said, he was looking down, not paying attention, as he entered the room his body felt much more warmer than before. Junkrat noticed that by the entrance was a dining room, with two thick glass tables and four seatings, two in each side of the tables, there were a few stools in the front of a kitchen. By his left and right side there were corridors that Jamison still didn't know were they were leading. He took a last look and finally saw who was in front of him.
"Hello" Said Ana, drinking a hot tea. "... I am Ana, nice to meet you. Jack told me you were coming." She said, drinking then walking towards one of the tables and placing her mug on it, she turned around and pointed at the left corridor. "Your companion is in the room by the entrance of the corridor, if you keep walking you'll find the bathroom, by the end of the corridor is the infirmary, in front of the infirmary are the doors for an emergency exit. Over the right corridor are the ladies rooms, of course, you're not allowed to step inside."
"...I wasn't planning to!" Junkrat said, confused.
"Haha!, i was just joking, but i do got my eye on you." Said Ana. "would you like some tea? coffee?".
"Me... no, no, i gotta explore the room, make myself "comfortable", know what i'm saying..." Jamison said, walking towards the corridor, just as he found the button to open the door to his room someone else had already opened it and startled him with the noise it made. "Oh, man, i'm sorry to scare you, i was just cleaning the last bits of dust in the room. Let me tell you, this room man, this room was the messiest, i can guarantee you that..." A young man with a warm dark skin was making a conversation from inside the room, Jamison noticed how small he was and how energetic and eager he seemed to be despite talking about cleaning, but making a conversation wasn't on his list of things to do for the moment.
"...Yeah well, mate you see, I'm looking for my uhm..., companion, as you can see, i do believe you've seen him, he's not very hard to lose, you know what i mean."
"Oh yeah!, got you, he went to the bathroom, i told him i'll be here doing some final works on the room, you can make yourself at home, at least for the next weeks. If you need anything just call me man, i'll be right here!" He said has he walked away from the corridor into the dining room.
"Oi mate!, how can i call you if i don't know your name?."
"What do you mean you don't know my name?. I'm very, very important you see. Nah I'm just playing, My name's Lúcio. I mean it's no one's fault to not be in touch with today's music"
"Alright Lúcio, I'm Junkrat." Jamison said as he sat down on the bunk bed beside the door, feeling the soft blankets and mattress, jumping a bit up and down to feel the resistance and test it. "So, is there anything you need now?" Lúcio asked.
Jamison stretched and laid on the bunk bed, "I'm okay, thanks, i think i might just rest a little don't worry".
"Okay, see ya!" Said Lúcio, whistling a tune down the corridor.
Jamison thought he must have been dreaming, everything was so nice around him, the air smelled nice, it was warm, the bunk bed had no springs coming out of the mattress, he felt strange, he wasn't feeling comfortable, he was exited for some action. Something inside of him was catching a glimpse of light. Something he was hiding, but it didn't matter how much he tried not to think, not to pay attention to what he was feeling or thinking, he still was aware of what was going on inside his head.
"Rough day?" Roadhog asked Jamison, sitting in the bunk bed on the other side of the door, he was too heavy to sleep on a bunk bed, so he always slept on the one on the floor. "... Can't stop thinking?..."
"...Nah mate, I'm alright" Jamison says, as he turns around and covers himself with the blankets.
