The two remaining members of their squad, Junkrat and Mei were doing their own kind of falling. The pair had been kissing for what felt like weeks when Junkrat finally pulled away to catch his breath. For the first time in seemingly forever, the man was completely calm. His normally shifty eyes and twitchy movements kept in check by the sheer focus on the woman in front of him now. It had been the first time he had really gotten a good look over her and as he cupped her head in his hands he could feel his heart beating rapidly, every explosion he had ever seen and produced paling in comparison to the way he felt at this moment.
Mei's eyes stared into Junkrat's as they both breathed a bit heavily from the extended make out session. Junkrat's inexperience showing during the kiss, though Mei found this cute in a way, entertaining the thought that he wouldn't be pushy with other forms of affection. As she held the gaze she would feel her own heart beating quickly, a pace that not even scientific discovery had been able to match. The man's face was much dirtier than she remembered, of course the current layer of dirt could be attributed to the last round of explosions.
As the pair stood there, their shared bliss was soon shattered as both of them felt like something was... off. They both looked from side to side, the scraps of the omnics still blown to bits and nothing new seemed to be coming at them currently.
"D'you feel..." Junkrat started to speak before Mei covered his mouth with her finger. She smelled so nice, even just the small bit of her.
"Sssh..." Mei hushed the man as she closed her eyes and tried to listen. She couldn't hear anything, but there was still an uneasy feeling in her stomach that something was.. watching them.
"We need to go. Now." She opened up her eyes and looked at Junkrat with a determined face, quickly grabbing his hand and pulling him towards one of the hallways that wasn't blocked off at the moment. Junkrat went along with it without complaint considering he was now holding Mei's hand. He giggled like an idiot for a few seconds as he did his best to keep up with Mei's pace.
As they walked, the feeling of being watched only seemed to grow worse on Mei, the girl constantly checking over her shoulder and the walls as they trekked on. Her grip on Junkrat's hand tightened every few minutes to make sure he was still there, his presence helping her keep a level head for the time being. Even so, she wished that the rest of their team was here. Mercy would know what to do in a situation like this. Mei's thoughts switched to the woman, her angelic grace calming the girl a bit more, and also sparking an idea.
"Of course!" Mei smiled and let go of Junkrat's hand for a second, digging into her small pack before finding a moderately sized device. The thing was obviously for communication, a small antenna easily pulled out as Mei fiddled with the thing.
"Oi, how long you had that thing? It hasn't been on... has it?" Junkrat's face got a little red as he pictured the other pair listening in and having a good ole time of teasing him. He cackled a bit nervously, though the sound of Mei flipping the device on gave him a bit of ease.
"No silly, that would be a waste of battery. This is an emergency use item. Mercy should still have the other one on her. When I send out a signal, hers will go off and let her know to answer!" Mei kissed Junkrat's cheek with a happy smile, pushing a few buttons on the device before talking into it.
"This is Mei. Junkrat and I are safe, need assistance. I repeat, Junkrat and Mei are safe, we need assistance." The device beeped as Mei finished her message and sent it, clasping the thing to the top of her coat so that it would be easy enough to reach if and when Mercy got back to her.
"So now what? We just wait and hope that Doc answers? How will they ever find us?" Junkrat leaned against one of the walls, checking both ways before taking a seat and relaxing a bit, his gun at his side.
"Well, when she sends back a message, our device will start to act like a compass. It's really cool!" Mei sounded rather excited for their current situation, but her optimism was contagious. Junkrat grinned a bit as he leaned his head against the wall.
"So we just sit and wait here? Well that sounds awfully boring to me."
Mei went and sat next to him quickly, eager to relax along side him as she pushed herself into his chest and cuddled up under his arm now. Her hand ran along his chest slowly as she smiled up at him with that same beautiful look as before.
"Well I'm sure we can find something to pass the time, if we really try..." she trailed off, leaning closer towards Junkrat. Trusting already that he would meet her halfway, her eyes slowly closed and awaited the new feeling that she was already addicted to.
As Mei trailed off, Junkrat's smile grew even wider. Accepting her warmth beside him, his arm kept her close as his lips met hers eagerly. At this point they had both lost track of where they were and forgot the woes of their current situation.
Their kissing was a bit more audible this time around, as Junkrat grew a bit more confident in his ability thanks to a bit of guidance from Mei. Her hands led his own to where they could and couldn't go, the non-appropriate placements getting met with light slaps and sly giggles. It was obvious that the pair were both feeling a bit more than hot under the collar but Mei wasn't about to move that quickly in a place like this.
Between kisses, Junkrat pulled away his mouth a bit though stayed close enough that the two brushed cheeks.
"Mei... I..." He started, but found himself at a loss for words. It had only been a few hours ago that the two of them had been at blows with each other. Yet here they were, making out in the middle of some not so abandoned place where anything could jump out at them at any time.
"I just wanted... to say that... uhm..." Junkrat felt himself sweating, his eyes getting a bit of their nervous twitch back as he looked from her to the walls to the floor, unable to get out what he wanted to say.
Mei placed a hand on his cheek and helped him look at her, her soft smile and eyes capturing his focus once more as she kissed him once.
"Don't be nervous Jami, you can't get rid of me that easily." She grinned as she used a shortened version of his real name, part of her hoping that he didn't mind. Simply because calling him Junkie didn't sound proper.
Junkrat hadn't heard any variation of his real name used in such a loving tone since he had been a kid. If his heart could melt, it probably already had. He smiled back at the girl, a new confidence running through him.
"Mei, I-" He was interrupted by a loud beeping coming from Mei's jacket. The device was flashing green as Mei pulled away quickly, holding up a finger to hold that thought.
As she pulled the device off her coat, Mei pushed a few more buttons and the device spoke, Mercy's voice filling the hallway.
"Mercy here. Activating beacon. Come quickly!" The message was succinct and to the point, and the device soon brought up a literal compass, the hologram already giving the pair a nice sense of where they needed to go. Mei cheered a bit as she stood up, patting a bit of dust from her body.
"Well come on then!" She held out her hand to help Junkrat up. As he took her hand and stood, he took a deep breath and nodded, picking up his weapon and deciding to hold onto his thoughts until after they were out of here.
Taking Mei by the hand, Junkrat took the device from her and lead the way, now determined to get them out of this place. Part of this was from really wanting to get out, while a bigger part of it was to impress Mei. He swallowed a bit as they walked, taking a deep breath before starting to walk.
"Time for Meihem to save the day."
