Chapter 3
It made sense how they could not talk to him earlier through the radio now. This section of his helmet that went over his eyes had been forced off. There were multiple dents in his armor, and blood from his shoulder and side, were it had been ripped down to only wires and whatever remaining skin. The other two never really saw anything beneath the metal on him, and the fact that the assassin had been beat up, made them realize what kind of shit they were in with the enemy. That and, well, it was strange to really see someone you've known awhile.
Genji laughed tiredly at their stares, "I need healing."
"Oh, yeah!" Lucio said switching gears into the healing circle, while Dva giggled at the infamous quote.
It was not awkward, but it was getting tense again as they waited for Lucio's music to do it's work. The cyborg lost the minor injuries, and when he still stood stiff in masked pain, he got anxious about the situation they needed to attend to, "How much longer does this require?"
"You mean it's not done?", Was Lucio's confused reply.
Genji narrowed his eyes, which was even scarier without eyebrows. He stared off in thought, and then looked in the direction of where the ship had once hung over. The sky was taking away the smoke and ash, but they were too deep in the woods to see the clear ground where their friends had been last seen. The man shoved away Lucio's beam passively, and told the two to be on guard while they should follow him. There were no clear paths to take, so it seemed like they were wandering aimlessly, with the hope to run into what they wanted. They were expecting Genji to run and climb the trees to see, not walk. The only sound was their feet smashing the occasional twig, and some wind blowing the weak branches with creaks.
"I must save what I have in case of emergency." The older said, subconsciously touching his showing skin on the shoulder. "It is strange", he continued,"how the enemy can give you the opposite of what they intend."
Dva's hand froze on a tree she had been using as support to get over a log at the last comment noticeably. She seemed to really think about what he said for a long second, before the more pressing matter was addressed by a worried Lucio, "What?"
Genji sighed answering, "Its appears your medicines have been-messed-with."
"I've been the only one touching them!?"
"Mmh, but your's and Ana's did not work much."
"You saw Ana?" Dva asked with an edge to her voice.
"What'r you saying, man? I healed Hana. Maybe mine just doesn't work on-"
Dva nudged him hard in the shoulder. Genji didn't really notice and instead he eyed the girl up and down with thinly veiled concern. "What?" Lucio finally exclaimed, getting baffled.
"Yosh. Ana snipped me, from quite far. We must join them. I could not retrieve the others by my own." Genji answered vaguely, but he sounded ashamed, or maybe even defeated.
Before Lucio jumped with things all over the place, Dva beat him to the punch. "You mean you found everyone on our side who disappeared? "
"...the general area-"
A accented voice with amusement and sass interrupted any of their calmness that still could of been saved. "Gotcha."
Around their bodies, purple things swam around them, disabling any advantages to the surprise. Another strange whur sounded, like something out of a science movie. They turned to it, and out of the literal blue, a woman appeared from thin air. Dva and Genji automatically went for their weapons, but they would not work. The shuriken wouldn't come out of his arms, and her pistol did nothing when she pulled the trigger. They made sounds of anger and frustration, and had no choice but to see what she had to say. "She" looked like a bit of a cyborg herself on the one side of her shaved head. She wore a mainly purple outfit, and the silky hair she did have was dipped in it as well, while her black eyeliner stood out. Her eyebrows were missing the middle, yet she knew she rocked it all. The amount of confidence in her, along with the issue she snuck up on them, was damning. Luckily, they did not have to wait long to hear her speak before they could storm her with questions.
"¿Qué onda?(Hey/cool)... I'm sorry but", she shrugged while rolling her eyes, "it's hard to trust anyone these days. I can't let you go back to your little friends."
"Who are you?"
"I...can be an addition to those friends." She smirked after she pretended to be thoughtful.
They wanted explanation, god damnit. "Yeah, no."
"But i'm all you have left...and two of you are already injured."
Lucio looked between Genji and Dva, but then realization hit and he almost yelled: "Yo, Hana, why didn't you say anything? Are you still hurt or what?"
Dva opened her mouth to retort, but she closed it. Instead Genji added, "That is why we had to move slow."
"Why ain't nobody ever explain things?" Lucio continued, worried.
Genji shook his head, groaning in frustration. "...Sombra, I will kill you. No time for games." This made the younger one's in the crowd grow a chill up their backs.
She rose her eyebrows at the sound of her name. She approached the metal man, taking the view of him in. He didn't move, he was good at staredowns. Sombra placed a glowing long nail causally on his less damaged shoulder, onto a wire that connected it to his collar bone. She tilted her head to the side in curiosity, then backed away to look him in the face. The purple things that use to dance around the three of their bodies vanished. "Listen, amigos, I'm on my own side. I don't care for who wins in your war game. Do you care about your team or not?"
"We all share a problem with trust." The cyborg said, growing angry.
"Well, that's not a lie", Sombra exclaimed, spinning on her heel, openly talking to everyone now for sure, "Look, it's simple. I need to eliminate Null Sector, and so do you, to retrieve your 'Overwatch' thing, at least." By the end of her claim she'd become more serious.
"And what do you get for destroying Null Sector?" Lucio asked suspiciously.
She smirked again, "What do you care? Since obviously you can't go there alone", she gestured to Genji's respective injuries, "I'll do the hard part and hack the systems while we kill them together, then we will be on our ways."
"Very well.", Genji replied but then added sarcastically as a clear threat, "But, you seem nice, I'd hate to kill you."
Sombra made an amused sound, and she began to walk in the opposite direction. Genji followed silently behind, and Dva eyed him closely, only taking steps when he did, slightly hiding behind him.
"Wait, but everyone's the other way!" Lucio called, lagging behind.
"Estúpido. We can't have that large a crowd. Besides, since you destroyed the ship, they'll find you eventually. Are my expectations to high to consider that they'll find the base in the long run?"
"No. I found it alone." Genji answered.
