Heya, Companions. Part Two is a bit late because I had a ton of work to finish up for school, so I nearly forgot to update. Luckily, I remembered at the last minute,so I hope you enjoy Part Two

"Found anythin'?" Kate climbed up from the hole she had dropped down in, gripping onto the chain Roadhog provided her. "Yeah! Just get me up and we can get going." Junkrat held out a hand, grabbing Kate's arm as he pulled her up with a grunt. "There we are. What'd we find?" Kate opened her bag, showing the contents. "At least 12 portions and 1,000 credits worth of scrap metal, I believe. Let's head back before Cannibals come out." Kate tossed the bag to Roadhog, grabbing the chain and wrapping it around her shoulder.

Night fell fast in a place like the Outback, which Kate had gotten used to. How long had she been there? She lost count after a year or so. She hadn't found much about her mother since she arrived and her best guess was that she might've found a way to safety. Which meant Kate would have to leave very soon. Maybe she could get back in Overwatch and rest. She missed Lena's company, Reinhardt's stories, and the play fights she and Fareeha got involved in. But that life was gone.

Now, her life's been reduced to being a Junker. At least it was with two people she could trust. Junkrat was still getting used to his new mech arm, always struggling to put it on correctly or forgetting it at the camp, while Roadhog just… watched them. It was still unsettling, but she knew he meant no harm to them. "So, I was thinkin, Sancs. We'd like t' leave the country someday. You always spoke so fondly of your hometown that we think we'd like to go with ya."

"That's nice, but I can't go back there. This is my home now. Besides, I'm sure they won't let you on the planes, not with whatever radiation may be lingering from you two." Junkrat chuckled, waving his hand about. "Ah, we're thinkin' of sneakin' out. Saves us the trouble of havin' to deal with security." Kate turned to look at him, shaking her head. "That's illegal."

"Well, so is stealin' from your elders, but you had no trouble doin' that with your old man's oxygen tanks." Kate huffed, sliding down a small hill before her. "That's different. He left my mom and I for some whore, I bet. If he's been back to the house while I've been gone and found stuff missing, so what? Not like he was using any of it." The woman itched at her left arm, grumbling as Junkrat slid past, grabbing her hand. "And for the last time, stop pickin' at your arm. You'll end up skinnin' yourself before the Cannibals can do the jobs themselves."

"Sorry, this tattoo's pretty itchy." During her stay, a couple of Junkers had come to like Kate's company, though she was sure it was to lower her guard and kill her when she wasn't looking. Junkrat insisted she got a tattoo of each Junker's trademark symbol to indicate their alliance on the condition that his and Roadhog's were the largest. If her mom saw it, she might freak out. Maybe she'll get a chance to explain.

"Yeah, yeah. I know the feelin'. 'Cept I learned to suck it up, buttercup." Junkrat patted her shoulder, turning on his heel. "So, as I was sayin', we're thinkin' of taking' a plane, then a boat. See, our plan is to catch a plane to Greece-"

"Jamison."

"-, then we take a boat from Greece to southern Italy-"

"Jamison…!"

"-From there, we try to take a car or walk on foot to Switzerland where your headquarters is at! Brilliant plan, am I right?"

"Junkrat!" Junkrat turned on his heel, glaring at Roadhog. "WHAT?!" The man pointed to the right, grunting. Kate had wandered up to an old building, staring at it in awe. "Oh, great. Oi, sheila! Camp's this way, not that way!" Kate stared, turning to Junkrat as she waved her hand. "Come look at this, though!" The Junkers groaned, walking over as Kate looked at the building. "This is Carcory Homestead Ruins. It's a house made ENTIRELY of limestone. Built about 200 years ago."

"You're easily impressed over a stone house, aren't ya?" Kate chuckled, shrugging as she shook her head. "Sorry, it's just so cool to see historical structures. Shame it's been vandalized, though." Junkrat approached the house, staring at the vandalized building. It looked like somebody drew on it with blood. The Junker stepped forth, leaning in close as he stuck his tongue out. "Junkrat, what are you- Junkrat, don't lick it! That's gross!"

"Too late." Roadhog muttered as Junkrat stepped away, smacking his lips with a disgusted look. "Ergh. Too salty. O Blood and limestone don't mix.." Kate stiffened, eyes widening behind the mask. "Did you say O Blood?" Junkrat shook his head, coughing as he grabbed his canteen and took a sip from it. "Yeah. Usually, I'm fine tastin' it when it's not salted up like it is now. Why, you wanna lick, too?"

"No, it's just.. My mom had O Blood. But… I'm overthinking. A lot of people have O Blood." Roadhog looked at Junkrat, nodding to him. "Well, if it's just some old building, what harm is there t' search for a couple more scraps?" Kate scoffed, crossing her arms as she looked up. "It's history, Junkrat. You know, something that teaches us the past."

Click.

"Junkrat, what was that cli-" Kate shielded her eyes as part of the wall exploded, pieces of limestone flying past. "Yer right. It IS history!" Jurankt cackled, hunched over as he tried to catch his breath. "You should've seen the look on your face! It was- It was… Right, you wear a mask. Let's head back to the camp. It's getting really dark." Kate looked up, nodding to him as she started to turn with a disgruntled sigh. "Wait." The woman stopped as Junkrat held up a hand, looking at the building. "There's somethin' drawn here." The Junker got close, looking at the blood drawn symbol on the wall before his eyes got wide. "Shit… We need to go. Now. We shouldn't be here."

"What is it?" Junkrat hurried towards Kate, grabbing her arm as he looked at Roadhog. "Pick us up and start runnin', Roadie." Roadhog grunted, picking them up with one arm as he started to run. "Junkrat, what is it? What was drawn on the house?" Junkrat looked at Kate, eyes wide. "We all have a symbol, tellin' people who we are. Some are simple, some are complex. The more complex ones are bigger groups that should be feared. 'Course, you know that by now."

"But that doesn't tell me what you saw. What was the symbol? It's got you in a fright." The Junker opened his mouth to speak, stuttering as Roadhog grunted at them. "Roadie's right. We need t' get back to the camp first. We'll explain everythin' when we're-" Junkrat looked up as a howl was heard, shaking as Roadhog put them down to look. "They already found us…"

A large group of Junkers appeared, some walking on all fours as others stayed hunched over. The group circled the three like wolves, snarling at them. Two figures walked forth, glaring down at Junkrat as he stepped back. "We're in Dingo territory…" Kate looked at the figures, recognizing them immediately. They were the Junkers she ran into the moment she arrived to Junkertown. "Well, look who wandered too far from the pack. Jamison Fawkes."

"Lucas, how's it been? Oh, you've improved. Is-Is that a new haircut? It's quite lovely." The man named Lucas snorted, looking at the woman beside him. "No, but Bunyip has. You don't look any better yourself. Mech arm, eh? Thought you hated those things. Must suck for you." Junkrat snarled at the man, standing close to Kate. "Is that the outsider from three years ago? Don't tell me she's your girlfriend. Makes me feel sorry she ended up with you."

"She ain't my girlfriend." Dingo smiled, holding his arms out. "That makes this easier. Alright, boys! Whoever kills the runts gets dibs on the sheila! Get 'em!" Kate grabbed the machete on her belt, holding it out as the Junkers leapt forth to attack. The girl sliced through one, grunting as the blade was wedged in their throat. "Don't fight it, sweetheart. We're savin' ya from these lunatics. Be lucky we even showed up before they killed you."

"Shut yer trap, Dingo! We ain't killin' friends!" Dingo snarled, baring his teeth in a sickening grin. "Y'know, they say you've got a big bounty on yer head, Jami. After this, maybe I'll turn your head in for that reward." The Junker cackled, wrapping an arm around Bunyip as another Junker grabbed Junkrat's leg with his teeth, ripping off chunks. "ARGH!"

Roadhog caught Junkrat with one hand, grabbing the Junker by the throat with the other, snapping it. Kate pulled her machete away, holding it close as the Junkers surrounded their leader. "You're makin' the mistake of trustin' a ratbag and tub of lard." Dingo crouched down as something was launched past, exploding behind him. "Did you call my friend fat, you piece o' scrawny shit?!"

"Junkrat, keep quiet! Roadhog, get him to safety and patch him up!" Roadhog grabbed Kate by the waist,lifting her up as he started to run in the opposite. "Roadhog, what are you doing?! I said Junkrat, not both of us!" Roadhog shook his head as he came across the limestone house, looking over his shoulder before entering. "Roadie, are ya mad?! They'll find us in here if-"

"Quiet!" The Junker placed Kate and Junkrat down, removing a cloth from his pocket. "Hold him still." Kate placed a hand on Junkrat's shoulder and chest, watching Roadhog tie the cloth above the bitten knee. "Roadhog, don't- Don't do it.. Sanctuary, don't let him do it." Kate shook her head, keeping the Junker in place as she watched. "We have to. If we don't, it'll get infected and you could die." Roadhog took out his own machete, lifting it high above his head as Junkrat struggled. "Don't! Don't!"

The machete came down, slicing the leg off as Junkrat screamed, thrashing as Kate tightened her grip. "Junkrat,calm down! Just breathe!" Roadhog undid the cloth, tying it over the nub where his leg was as he started to remove his mask. "No, don't! Let me." Kate removed her mask, placing it over Junkrat's face as she turned the knob of the oxygen tank. She had gotten used to removing her mask in emergencies, her insides always burning when she breathed in the new air. "Breathe, Junkrat. Breathe." The Junker's breathing started to steady, indicating he had finally relaxed as he laid back.

"They'll find us sooner or later. We have to get back to the camp somehow." Kate gave a nod, looking down. "I know, but how? For once, Hog, I'm at a loss…" Roadhog placed a hand on her shoulder, patting it gently. "We keep low and wait." Kate looked up, frowning. "But this is Dingo Territory. Won't they come looking for us?"

"Yes. That's why I have a plan." It was odd to hear Roadhog talk so much. It's like he wants to get stuff off his chest before something happens. "You take Jamison and run while I hold them off. I can buy you both a little time before they come after you." Kate's eyes widened as she shook her head. "No, we can't leave you! You have to come with us!"

"I'm a bodyguard. I'm only doing my job of protectin' the runt and you. It's your turn now, Sanctuary. You take Jamison and run." The girl opened her mouth to speak, falling silent. "Alright…" Kate looked down, putting a hand on the ground. "You should put your mask back on. He should be fine." Roadhog removed the mask from Junkrat's face, attaching it to Kate as she picked something up from the ground. "I won't tell him what you look like. It's our secret."

"Roadhog... " The Junker looked at the object in Kate's hand, taking it carefully. It was a tiny locket with a holographic photograph inside. The photo showed a woman with her hand on a young girl and a man beside her. The locket was damaged, so parts of the image were glitched out over the man's face and the uniform the women wore. "That was my mother's… She's been here."

"Meaning she might be-" Roadhog handed the locket back, standing up with a hand on his hook. "Heeeere, kitty! Don't need to hide from us. We just want to play." Kate looked at Roadhog, shaking her head as he headed for the doorway. There was no time to waste now. "Alright, Junkrat. We're getting out of here." The girl picked up the Junker carefully, adjusting her arm behind his back as she stood behind Roadhog.

"Don't make this hard on us. That woman who arrived a few years back made that mistake and look where it got her. Dead." Kate felt herself stiffen, trying to ignore them. They're just taunting her to throw her off. "Make it easy on us and we may let you and your friends go." Roadhog held a hand out before Kate, nodding to her as he took a step forth, holding up the chain. "Now!" Kate ran past the Junker, running for the exit out. A woman jumped in the way, staying crouched as something mechanical rises from her back.

"Don't let her get out, Bunyip!" Kate stepped back, watching Bunyip stand to her feet as the machinery came to life. They looked like wings, but where was the pack that held them? "Sorry, kid. Just doin' my job." Bunyip leapt forth, grabbing Kate by the shoulders as the wings were raised and brought down, pushing them off the ground. The girl screeched, keeping a grip on the Junker as Bunyip glared down at her. "Drop the ratbag, kid!"

"Let go of me!" Kate felt something wrap around her waist, pulling her down forcibly to the ground as the woman started to fall. Her wings were in bad condition, bits falling with her. "Bunyip!" Kate looked away as Bunyip hit the ground, followed by a loud explosion. The girl looked down as Junkrat woke suddenly, struggling in her grip. "Whose lobbin' bombs?!"

"Nobody. Bunyip's wings exploded. You two are lucky I pulled you down before they malfunctioned." Kate looked up at Roadhog, taking a deep breath as she smiled. "Oi, why can't I feel my leg…?" The girl turned to Junkrat, glaring a little as Roadhog groaned. "Not now. We have to get out before-"

"Before the big bad Dingo gets ya!" Kate screeched, dropping Junkrat as Dingo grabbed her from behind and pulled her away. "Three years and you still didn't learn a damn thing. Nobody can escape a hungry Dingo." Roadhog grabbed his hook, ready to attack until three Junkers jumped in the way, all snarling as Dingo held a dagger to Kate's throat. "Stay down, piggie. Or else you and your friend will be down to two once more."

"Let her go, Dingo! She ain't worth keepin'! Dingo rolled his eyes, pointing the knife to Kate's jacket. "You're more dumber than I thought, Jamison. Didn't ya see the patch on her jacket? She's one of them. She's Overwatch." Junkrat looked at Kate, glancing at the jacket and back at Dingo. "No, she ain't!" Dingo tightened his grip on the knife, holding it back to Kate's throat. "She came here t' turn you in! Both her and that other woman! Why d' you think they were so nice to you?! To drop your guard! They know what you found! They'd do anything to bring your scrawny ass in for 'justice'! You're dumber than I thought, ratbag."

"That ain't true. What I found in the omnium has NOTHIN' to do with Overwatch. She ain't worth killin' either, so let her go or else you'll be in for one hell of a time." Dingo snickered, hunching over as the snicker turned into a cackle. "What's a little girl from Overwatch gonna do? Flirt her way out?"

"No, but I sure as hell can do this!" Kate slipped out of the jacket, turning on her right heel as she grabbed the machete from her belt, crouching down as Dingo went to grab her. She quickly stood, headbutting him in the jaw before shoving the machete through his throat. Dingo gasped and reached a hand out to grab her, coughing up blood as the other Junkers turn, watching in fear. Kate removed the machete, stepping back as the Junker fell forth, trying to take a breath as the other Junkers make a run for it, yipping like dogs.

"Why did you do it?" Kate crouched down, looking down at Dingo as he slowly turned to look at her. He started to smile, chuckling as he laid down, his eyes rolling to the back of his head. "Tell me!" Kate started to shake, tears welling in her eyes as a hand was placed on her shoulder. "We're Cannibals, kid. Wasn't it obvious?" The girl turned, eyes wide as Bunyip looked down at Dingo. "You're alive…?"

"Barely. I had to remove the wings before I landed. Do us a favor and get going. All three of you. Now." Bunyip grabbed Kate's arm, dragging her from the base as she gestured to Roadhog. "Come on, big guy. Bring your friend. I'll patch him up."
