Author's Note: Hey, sorry for the late chapter! It's been a busy week for me and I've been trying to work on the plot of this a bit more. But before we begin, I'd like to clear something up- I've been getting a few different people PM me complaining to me why there's been no smut so far. So for you guys to understand, I need the story to start off with a plot line and I will build up from there. It would make no sense if I just started the beginning with them making out in bed with no logic put into it whatsoever. However, there WILL be smut coming soon within the next one or two chapters, so if you've been reading up this far, be prepared for that. Enough said, I hope you guys enjoy chapter 7!

Genji sat on a cliff overlooking the ocean as he stared out to sea. It seemed peaceful, and the cyborg was able to feel a soft breeze that blew past every now and then. The sun was sinking below the horizon, and the sky was fading from a light pink to a dark navy blue. Yet everything was not peaceful- Not for Genji.

The last few days had confused him to a point where his was going mad. His emotions were unchecked, and he found himself angry and sad and disconcerted all at the same time. His brother had attempted to murder him, and almost succeeded. Hell, in some ways it seemed like he had. This was not his body, and this was not his life. He knew he didn't belong here, and not everyone at the Watchpoint understood him for what he was. He was a living machine- A walking monstrosity that his brother had turned him into.

It wasn't fair. He didn't want to join his family's criminal empire because he knew it was wrong. He was doing the right thing by neglecting his duties to train to become an assassin. Genji didn't want to kill people.

And yet, this was where it had gotten him. A body that was not his and life that he did not want.

He stared downwards at the sharp, rocky cliffside that was laid out below him. Genji wondered if he should just end it right now. If he fell, he'd die almost immediately from the impact without having to sit through excruciating pain for too long. It would be nothing compared to the pain Hanzo had brought him, leaving him to rot instead of just finishing him off. But no, his brother had to torture him further letting him sit consciously through almost half an hour of agonizing pain before eventually passing out from blood loss.

Genji began to slowly inch dangerously closer toward the edge, curiosity driving him forward. There'd be no more confusion, no more pain, if only he came a little closer to the edge…

The cyborg suddenly stopped himself. What the fuck are you doing? He asked himself. Genji shook himself and carefully backed away from the cliff. He had been given a second chance at life, so why should he waste it? Even if his homicidal brother was living in the same building as him, he should still try to at least find some of his sanity.

He let go of a breath he didn't know he was holding as he walked away from the cliff and into the warm building ahead of him. Genji shivered at how close he really was from killing himself. Had he waited any longer…

The cyborg managed to temporarily put the thought away by trying to find Zenyatta's room again. He had left suddenly, and wanted to apologize to the omnic for acting so brashly.

He ended up getting lost more than once and ended up retracing his steps back to where he started. Several people who spotted him gave him sympathizing glances, from being lost or half cyborg, Genji didn't know.

Eventually he made his way back to the monk's peaceful room. The cyborg quickly glanced inside to make sure that Zenyatta was there and Hanzo wasn't, and was surprised to find that Angela was there instead of his brother. She and Zenyatta were talking softly to each other, but Mercy seemed upset. Genji pressed his head up against the door to try and hear what they were talking about.

"And you're sure you'll be able to help him?"

"I am certain, Doctor Ziegler. With a little time and patients, I will be able to help him as well as I have any other. But may I ask why we've broughten the archer here too if he is the one who has caused the conflict in the first place?"

Angela's voice lowered slightly. "Everyone deserves a second chance, Zenyatta. And I feel that Hanzo is deeply troubled by what he has done. But I will keep my eye on him just in case."

"But what if he escapes again?"

Mercy scowled. "Believe me, I'll be monitoring him closely after that last stunt he pulled."

There was a small pause before Zenyatta continued. "Very well. Send Genji back to me next time you see him, okay?"

"Alright, and if you see Hanzo interacting with him again, be sure to let me know."

There was a murmur of agreement between the two, and Genji heard Angela's footsteps approaching the door. The cyborg barely had any time to hide as the doctor walked out the door, softly closing it behind her.

He peeked out of his hiding spot to make sure Mercy was gone before slowly creeping back to the door. He rapped on it a few times before a half-hearted 'come in' sounded softly in response. Genji stepped inside the beautifully decorated room and stood there awkwardly until he gently cleared his throat to get Zenyatta's attention.

"I apologize for leaving so suddenly, Zenyatta. I was scared that he might try something similar to… Our last encounter, if he recognized me."

"It is fine, Genji. I know how much you must fear your brother after what he did to you. But I think that I should tell you that he truly regrets what he has done to you."

"It does not matter if he regrets it or not. He still did it, regardless of our relationship as brothers. He would follow any stupid order father and the elders would tell him to do. 'Hanzo, go trade illegal weapons and drugs, Hanzo, go murder innocent people, Hanzo, go slaughter your brother as brutally as you can.'" The cyborg began to get carried away. "Orokana ani ga watashinitsuite no tawagoto o ataeru monode wa arimasen…"

Zenyatta waited for Genji to calm down a bit before speaking again. "I understand you are going to hate me for what I am about to say, but I feel that you and your brother should set aside some time to talk to each other. Maybe it will help both of you clear some things up about what actually happened then."

Genji's scarred face became very pale. "But Zenyatta, what if he tries to kill me again?"

The monk let out a small robotic sigh. "I doubt that he would do that again, considering what he told me after you left. But if you are really that fearful that he will harm you again, we could set up a guard to keep watch of the conversation, perhaps someone like Winston, or Reinhardt."

The cyborg nodded his head slowly, but he still looked scared, as if Zenyatta hadn't fully convinced him yet. "A-Alright, I guess we could try… But from what I recall, Hanzo isn't much of someone who's willing to just sit still and talk about something like this. I would be surprised if he actually showed."

"There is always a chance of change, Genji. I bet I could persuade him if I tried."

The cyborg just shook his head. "We shall see."

side note- My Japanese sucks so badly, I might as well just use google translate, so I'm very sorry if I messed up on most of it.

Orokana ani ga watashinitsuite no tawagoto o ataeru monode wa arimasen

Stupid older brother doesn't give a shit about me
