The ride back to Gibraltar had been an awkward one indeed.

Angela used her own outside resources to get them a small plane. Compact enough for the six of them, but large and strong enough to transport Winston.

Being a very respected doctor and part time life saver, Angela had many people in her debt. Not by choice, she never asked for financial payment, but every now and again a small favor would suffice.

Genji and Angela sat next to each other, happily chatting about whatever crossed their minds.

Winston plopped down beside Mei, squishing her between him and the window. The primate cheerfully babbled about the mission and how excited he was to have everyone back in Gibraltar after all this time.

Mei nodded and responded as often as she could, feeling slightly disappointed with this seating arrangement.

Why did she want that man next to her instead?

She took a moment to think about him.

The archer who was silent and menacing. Not hesitant to take another person's life, without fear of consequence or guilt. The brooding look on his face making him seem detached and unapproachable. Eyes dark and distant, were quick to shoot a cold glare, warding off anyone who dared even glance at him. Truly he must be a solitary soul.

And yet, he intrigued her.

His eyes, sharp and cold as they may be, drew her in every time he caught her gaze. His strong arms had pulled her to safety, holding her close to his toned chest. Mei could not describe the waves of electricity that shot through her from that contact.

Something about that man caused things to happen to her. Something Mei had never experienced before.

Why did the unknown seem so interesting?

Why was it…exciting?

She felt scared from these foreign feelings.

Her mind and body crumbled at the mere presence of this individual.

Frightening yet enticing.

Mei forced herself back into the one sided conversation with Winston. This was definitely not the time for those thoughts. She needed privacy to sort out these confusing emotions.

The quicker they arrived in Gibraltar, the better.


Hanzo sat crossing his arms, almost pouting.

He was definitely not happy to be stuck sitting next to Soldier 76. The old man had laid his head against the glass window, snoring under his visor.

The archer scowled. If only that stupid monkey hadn't gotten in front of him when they were boarding. If he could, he'd have thrown the primate out himself. But who could argue with a gorilla that was twice your size and three times as strong?

Feeling his eyebrow start to twitch from irritation, Hanzo shifted his thoughts to that girl.

Mei…that was her name.

He closed his eyes and played back the earlier events of the mission. She had been so helpful, so brave. Throwing her own morals out for the sake of her friends lives.

The weapons that she used, Hanzo wondered if she'd built them, or if they were a gift.

Either way, he admired her resolve in such a dangerous situation.

Though he would've preferred her to stay hidden, she made it very clear that she was to be fighting by their side.

By his side.

He allowed his mind to wander back to her physical appearance.

The chemistry between them was astounding. From simple touches to prolonged eye contact, the archer felt as if he had found a soul mate.

Never one to believe in true love, only arranged partnerships, Hanzo was floored by these emotions.

He wanted more.

He wanted to touch, see her smile and hear her laugh.

He wanted to taste, see her writhe in pleasure, and hear her moan.

Forward, was a good way to explain it. This was not something to just spring on the poor girl.

But if he introduced it, would she say no?

Sighing, Hanzo leaned back in his chair, waiting impatiently to arrive at the planned destination.


Winston provided a change of clothes for the group. Most of which had been left in his lab from everyone's previous visits many years ago. Hanzo, who had not been to Gibraltar before, had simply gotten some of Genji's old clothes instead.

"Everyone, please take this opportunity to shower and make yourselves at home again!" Winston offered politely before climbing away up to his main computer.

"Athena! Look who I've brought with me!" The gorilla shouted excitedly.

Soldier 76 rested his rifle on his right shoulder.

"No thanks," he stated.

Angela turned to face him. He regarded her and continued.

"I'm headed to the Temple of Anubis, Pharah messaged me about needing some backup for a mission."

The doctor smiled knowingly and replied.

"Alright Jack, if you need any assistance just contact me." She softly whispered.

76 gave her a look from behind his mask then nodded before making his way out through the front entrance.

"Typical." Angela giggled to herself.

"Always ready to return to the fight. I didn't even have a chance to give him a checkup before he just runs back out onto the battlefield."

She turned to Mei who was now sitting in a chair with some clothes folded on her lap, ready to fiddle with one of Winston's many computers.

"Mei, do you need any assistance while showering or is your arm feeling better?"

It was a simple question with pure intentions.

However, Mei and the two Shimada brothers did not take it that way.

Surprised by the sudden offer, Mei's body froze, her face lit up bright red while Hanzo coughed awkwardly.

Genji, who seemed to find the situation very amusing, chuckled to himself. He turned to the two women and decided to poke some fun.

"If you require any assistance, do not hesitate to call for me." He stated seriously, placing a hand on his metal chest.

The look of shock on both Mei and Hanzo's faces were enough to break the ninja's façade. He laughed loudly while Angela just smiled slightly confused by his sudden outburst.

"Thank you for the offer, Genji. If you'd like, I can help you get cleaned up as well." She said.

"That would be much appreciated, Dr. Zeigler." Genji responded with a tone that told you there was definitely a smirk behind his metal mask.

She offered him a warm smile and nodded.

Mei took a second to compose herself then proceeded to respond to Angela's earlier question.

"No thanks, Ms. Zeigler. I believe I can take care of it myself." She stated while looking down at her lap, a soft blush still lingering on her round cheeks.

"Very well then. Mei, please show Mr. Shimada where the showers are while I help get Genji cleaned up and shiny again." Angela ordered with a soft tone.

Mei looked at Hanzo, not expecting him to be staring back.

Her face burned red again. She abruptly stood up and began to panic.

"U-uhm why aren't y-you coming along as w-well Dr. Ziegler?" She stuttered out.

"I'd rather help Genji first so I don't have to shower twice." Angela responded laughing, oblivious to the tension in the air.

Genji softly grabbed Angela's hand, making his way towards the stairs.

He turned around, briefly giving them both a thumbs up before walking away.

Mei watched in horror as the two dissapeared in a room, leaving her with Hanzo who was now standing very close.

She gulped painfully and clutched the change of clothes to her chest.

Without turning to him she held her head up high and marched to the showers.

"This way, follow me!" She stated with feigned confidence.

Hanzo raised a brow, amused at her embarrassment. He smirked slightly, then proceeded to follow her through a large set of doors.

They walked in silence down the dimly lit hallways until arriving at a tall black door labeled with bold white letters: 'SHOWERS'.

Hanzo noticed that under the word was both a male and female symbol.

As if reading his mind , Mei answered his unasked question.

"The s-showers…are unisex…"

He blinked in surprise.

Mei opened the door slowly, revealing a large bright orange tiled room with off white walls.

To the right, a row of several shower heads hung beside one another, separated only by shiny black stalls with a plush white towel folded over each door. To the left was a long counter top with one sleek mirror stretching all the way down the other side of the room.

Mei walked in and opened a large white cabinet that sat by the door. Setting her clothes to the side, she reached in and grabbed two small bottles labeled 'shampoo' and 'conditioner'. Then proceeded to also pick up a boxed bar of soap with the same hand.

She moved back in front of Hanzo and held out the supplies, attempting to balance it all.

"Y-you can go first, I'll wait outside." She offered shyly, avoiding any sort of eye contact.

Hanzo looked at the toiletries, then back at Mei.

He reached his hand back to grasp the handle behind him, then quietly shut the door. Moving past her to the same white cabinet, he grabbed his own needed supplies plus her change of clothes and made his way over to the pearl white counter.

Mei turned to him, confused.

Not exactly sure what to say or do. The girl stood idle, her brows furrowed together.

She watched him set all of his supplies down, then lay both of their clothes to the side.

Her eyes followed his hands as they reached up to untie his ponytail. The man's cool toned black hair fell freely around his head.

Without looking at her, he slipped off his right glove and asked casually.

"Do you plan to stand there and stare all night?"

Mei immediately snapped her gaze away from him and onto the bright orange tiled floor.

She felt her heart beat quicken, thumping harder and harder against her chest.

"U-uh, should I leave?" She asked, her voice meek.

"You should shower." He responded simply.

Hanzo walked past her back to the entrance, leaning his basket of arrows, large storm bow and small bottle of sake against the off white wall beside the door, then sauntered back to his previous position.

She kept her eyes trained to the ground.

Swallowing the lump in her throat, Mei fought herself internally.

Was this a good idea?

What were his intentions?

He didn't seem like a bad person. Hanzo fought on their side and saved her from potential danger.

[He's Genji's brother right? There's no way the Dr. would allow him here if he she feared he was going to try something.]

Try something...

With her?

Mei's face turned a dark burgundy.

She felt dizzy, her vision going sideways.

Hanzo who was now undoing the latches on his shoes, noticed her swaying.

"Are you alright?" He asked, prepared to catch her if she fell.

Mei snapped back into reality. Looking up at him, she spoke with more feigned confidence.

"Y-yes I'm fine!"

Determined not to lose her cool again, Mei held her head up high, walked over beside him and took off her shoes.

She looked up at the mirror, studying their reflections. Both her and Hanzo were not very clean. Dirt was smudged across their clothes and scratches riddled their bodies.

Mei sighed, not her most sophisticated look, but at least now she could get cleaned up.

The girl was still dressed in her blue tank top. Hair, tangled and messy, lay tousled around her shoulders. The gauze that had been wrapped around her wound from Numbani, was dirty and stained with dried blood

[I'll go see Dr. Zeigler after this to replace it.] She thought to herself.

Looking over at Hanzo, she watched through the reflection as he undid his belt and set it next to the yellow silk hair tie.

Now only in his top and pants, Hanzo grabbed his needed toiletries, then lazily walked to the stall directly behind them.

Mei continued to watch him through the mirror, waiting for the stall door to shut. The moment it did, she hurriedly attempted to removed two layers of thick winter pants. After a bit of a struggle they were finally off and thrown under the counter. She set her glasses on top of their change of clothes and rushed over to the very last stall, as far away as possible from Hanzo.

Said archer stood in the stall, removing the rest of his clothes. He neatly folded the dirty garments and slid them under the door.

Upon inspection of the shower itself, he noticed the silver knob labeled with a 'H' and 'C'. Hanzo could easily guess what that meant. He reached down and moved it to the left towards the 'H'.

Hot water shot out from the shower head and Hanzo relished in the relief it gave his tense body.

Mei lent against the wall, lost in her own thoughts. She had turned on her shower as well, and now stood quietly, letting the water wash over her.

She made sure to angle her left arm away from the water, not wanting to wet the bandage before she could properly change it.

Regardless of being in the furthest stall away from Hanzo, she still felt extremely nervous.

They were showering in the same room. Mei had never done that before with a male.

Even with her time here in Gibraltar, when Overwatch was still active. Although the showers were unisex, it was always one gender to go first, then the other.

Mei only ever had one awkward encounter here, and that was when she overheard Angela scolding Lena for apparently 'ogling at her boobs.'

The memory tinted her cheeks pink, but still gave Mei a soft smile from remembering the old days.

She sighed and poured some shampoo into her hair, lathering it with her right hand.

They both showered in silence, taking time to wash away the essence of their battle in Numbani.

Rinsing the last of the conditioner from his hair, Hanzo reached down and turned off the shower.

The man sighed, feeling relaxed from the bath.

He wrung out his black locks, then brushed the excess water off each arm.

Grabbing the towel from the door, he lazily dried his body off.

Looking around, Hanzo noticed he had forgotten to bring his change of clothes.

Grumbling to himself, he wrapped the towel around his waist and exited the stall.

At the end of the room, he heard Mei turn off her shower as well.

Hanzo grabbed another clean towel from a random stall door and began to dry his hair.

Looking down at the counter, he noticed something peculiar.

His clean clothes were mixed in with a blue tank top, pink panties and black leggings.

With a pair of glasses placed neatly on top.

Hanzo blinked a few times, putting the pieces together.

He stifled a chuckle.

Putting on his own underwear (there was no way in hell he would borrow that from Genji) and the sweatpants he was given, Hanzo stood still, listening to Mei's movement.

She would realize soon enough.

He heard the sounds of her wringing her hair out.

Soft footsteps, most likely turning around.

A faint gasp.

Then silence.

Hanzo smirked.

Mei had begun to panic, now trapped in the shower without any change of clothes.

She circled the stall, turning around desperately searching for what wasn't there.

Stopping to face the door, she stared at it blankly.

Realization hit hard.

She had set her glasses on the change of clothes and just walked straight into the shower.

Leaning her forehead against the door, the poor girl sighed in defeat.

Should she ask Hanzo?

The embarrassment was enough to reject that idea.

Maybe she should just stay there.

After all, he would just change clothes and leave right?

Then she could run out and grab her clothes and probably hide back in the stall.

Mei didn't feel too comfortable being fully naked in the open, even if it would just be her alone in the bathroom.

Besides what if Dr. Zeigler walked in on her without any clothes.

Especially if Hanzo had just left the room. She would get ideas.

Her face began to heat up.

Shaking those thoughts away, Mei heard a voice.

"Are you alright in there?" Hanzo asked.

Mei let out a small 'Eep!' before backing away from the door and grasping the top of the towel around her body.

The strong urge to flea like cornered prey, began to overwhelm her.

Mei's body trembled with a mix of trepidation and excitement.

She took a deep, shaky breath, and gathered all her courage.

There was no way she could run.

[Just talk to him. He's not going to bite…] She reasoned.

"U-uh." Mei stuttered out nervously.

"I know this is silly, but I seem to have left my clothes on the counter."

"Yes, it would appear you have." He replied feigning ignorance to the situation.

Mei took another deep breath.

"U-um yeah, so if you could just-"

"You can come out and get them yourself, if you'd like."

He interrupted her, his voice low and smooth.

Almost, inviting.

Shocked by his words, Mei stood staring at the door.

Did he just?

No way.

But he did.

She contemplated turning the water back on to quench her now dry throat.

Or maybe an ice cold shower since her body felt as if it was on fire.

The air in the room grew tense, thick with the steam from their previous showers.

Her heart beat quickened, weighing heavily behind her ribs.

Mei clutched the towel harder, hands shaking.

"Well?" Hanzo asked, voice deep and enticing.

It glided across her skin like silk.

Something in the back of her mind told her to do it, to take a chance.

[It's not like anything would happen...right?] She thought.

But if that were true, why did this situation feel so significant?

As if an important choice was being made. And that her answer here would lead to consequences later.

Whether it be bad or good.

She felt his presence outside. It seemed like he was waiting patiently for her decision.

Something in the air encouraged Mei to go forward. Softly easing her towards the door, repeating its words like a mantra.

"It is alright, do not be afraid. Just come closer..."

Mei shut her eyes tight, throwing all her doubts away.

In a moment of recklessness, she unlocked the stall and swung it open.

Not giving Hanzo the chance to even greet her, she rushed out of the stall headed straight for her clothes.

In her mind, it seemed like a good plan.

But she hadn't factored in the floor being wet and slippery.

Maybe she should've thought this through.

Mei contemplated the situation, now suspended in mid air.

Everything seemed to slow down. And for a moment, the girl wondered why she did not simply ask Hanzo to slide her clothes under the stall.

Running in a bathroom with only a towel on, that was apparently a better idea.

Her body propelled forward towards the counter. She shrieked, bracing herself for the impact.

Instead she was caught once again by a pair of strong arms.

Both bodies fell less than gracefully on the tiled floor.

Mei sat silently at first. Slowly her senses had returned enough to asses the situation.

She wasn't hunched over a white counter top in agony.

Besides a slight throbbing in her left arm, Mei felt no pain.

Her face pressed against something solid and smooth. Quietly it made a soft thumping sound, as if someone was rhythmically tapping a bass drum. The melody relaxed her.

She sighed, feeling at ease from this unknown source of warmth and comfort.

"Are you hurt?" His voice reverberated through her ear and sent shivers down her spine.

Opening her eyes, Mei realized that she was laying against a bare chest.

His bare chest.

Her eyes shot open as she finally realized where she was.

Hanzo was sitting with his knees on the floor. Mei's butt sat on his lap with both legs bent messily around his torso. Her right arm clutched his shoulder while both of his arms wrapped around her waist and back, keeping the girl from falling backwards.

The white towel that she wore to protect her modesty, had now flown away due to the fall.

Leaving Mei's naked body completely pressed against Hanzo's bare upper half.

Now understanding the situation, her face flushed a deep red that traveled down to her neck and collarbone.

"Mei." He called out.

She looked up at him, his expression also somewhat surprised.

"Are you injured?" He questioned again.

She shook her head in response.

"Good."

For a moment they sat still, gazing at each other.

Her brow furrowed, feeling embarrassed and shy. Yet unable to glance away.

Hanzo searched her eyes, looking for doubts or any sign that she would pull away and run.

She showed nothing but timid curiosity.

He leaned forward slightly, resting his forehead softly against hers.

The steam in the room combined with their current predicament caused goosebumps to form all across her nude body.

Mei's large breasts and hardened nipples pressed against his muscular chest, pushing closer each time she inhaled.

Noticing that their mouths were mere centimeters apart, she nervously bit her bottom lip.

Mei felt his bangs gently brush past her cheek. His breath tickling her chin.

At that moment, it seemed as though they were the only two people on the planet.

She sat lost in his gaze. A mix of smells from the body wash and his own unique scent filled her nose. The contact between bare skin created sparks of electricity that left her wanting more. His voice flowed through her ears, surfacing the girl's deepest desires.

He captured all of her senses.

Except one.

Mei took in a very shaky breath and licked her lips.

What would it feel like, to taste?

Hanzo noticed her demeanor change. Instead of flustered and scared, her almond eyes were now clouded over, filled with something very similar to lust.

He easily mirrored the expression, not hiding his hunger anymore.

Things were escalating, he could sense it.

She still seemed so innocent. Her brows furrowed together, lips quivering as he brought his mouth closer.

Mei shut her eyes, feeling shy yet excited from the anticipation.

Hanzo's hand moved up and cradled the back of her neck, softly shifting her head to a better angle.

He opened his lips slightly, getting closer and closer.

Their lips gently grazed each others.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Mei? Are you still in there? The door seems to be locked for some reason."

Angela's Swiss accent cut through their moment like a knife.

Almost immediately, Mei's attitude flipped back to its normal self. She began to panic, flustered from their erotic position. Her right hand pushed against his chest, trying to create space between them.

He grumbled disappointingly.

Accepting that the magic was now gone, Hanzo wrapped his arms around her flailing body and picked them both up despite her attempts to shove him away.

After making sure she could stand on her own, he reached over and grabbed a pair of panties and the blue tank top from her change of clothes on the counter.

Mei's eyes stayed locked to the floor. She hopelessly squeezed her legs together and struggled to shield her bare breasts from him.

A pathetic effort, he had already seen everything.

Hanzo tried to hand her the panties, but she refused to even acknowledge him. Sighing, he placed the piece of fabric between his teeth and forcibly grabbed her right arm.

Mei jerked back, about to scream, but got cut off when a blue fabric suddenly enveloped her field of vision.

Once the shirt was tugged past her face, Mei looked up at Hanzo curiously.

He stood in front of her, clad in only a pair of sweatpants, with her pink panties hanging from his mouth.

Carefully, he lifted her left arm and placed it through the sleeve hole.

She blushed and proceeded to put her other arm in and pull the shirt down, finally covering her bare breasts.

Hanzo removed the underwear from between his teeth and whispered.

"You might want to answer the doctor."

Mei jumped, now reminded that Dr. Zeigler was still waiting outside.

"U-uh! I'm here, Ms. Zeigler! I'll be right out don't worry!" She shouted.

Angela giggled then replied lightheartedly.

"There's no rush at all, just be careful with your arm."

Mei looked back at Hanzo, unsure of how to continue.

Hanzo pointed to her panties.

"Do not panic, just put these on first."

She nodded and used his shoulder to balance herself while he pulled the garment up her legs.

Now that she was covered up, he backed away and grabbed his own shirt, tugging it over his torso.

"I will get the door, can you put your pants on by yourself?" He asked.

"Y-yes." She answered timidly.

He nodded in response, then picked up his shoes, belt and hair tie from the counter.

Walking over to the door, Hanzo checked behind him to make sure Mei was fully dressed.

He turned back around and grabbed his storm bow and basket of arrows, placing both items around his shoulder.

Lastly, he picked up his bottle of sake and unlocked the door.

Pulling it open, Hanzo walked briskly past Dr. Zeigler, not giving her a chance to question why he was still there.

Angela briefly looked at his retreating figure before strolling inside the room with a cheerful smile. Her face and clothes were dirty from the mission, but now also had smudges of oil and grease.

"Hello, Mei. How are you feeling?" She questioned.

"I'm good!" Mei replied, her cheeks still tinted pink. She put her glasses on and asked Angela politely.

"U-um, if you do not mind, Ms. Ziegler. I was wondering if you could change this gauze before you take a shower?"

Angela regarded her for a second.

"I suppose I can." She answered walking over to the girl.

Looking down at her arm, Angela gasped.

"My goodness, Mei! How on earth did you manage to wear it out this much?"

The scientist sheepishly turned her head away, remembering the events of the past hour.

Dr. Ziegler grabbed a first aid kit from the white cabinet. She undid the bandage to check Mei's wound, making sure that everything was alright. She cleaned the injury then wrapped it back up with sterile gauze.

"There you go. Just be more careful and do not stress that arm, doctor's orders!" Angela's happy tone, helped to ease Mei's tense body.

"Xiè xiè!" The scientist mirrored her cheerful smile.

"I'll get out of your way now!" Mei quickly grabbed her boots and moved to pick up the dirty clothes.

"Don't worry about that. I can wash them." Angela offered, laughing softly.

Mei gratefully thanked the doctor yet again.

Without another word, the girl turned ready to rush out of the room.

"Be careful! Remember you should never run in the shower, you might slip and fall." Angela warned.

Mei's heart skipped a beat and she immediately marched, cherry faced, out of the room.

AN: So what do you think? Things are starting to get spicy. I know I missed HanMei week unfortunately! But I actually rewrote this chapter so it took a little longer. Let me know what you think ;*
