Jack was late getting out of a planning meeting with Winston, Genji and Reinhart. The rest of the base was asleep save Bastion and the other sentry bots. They had figured out a plan of attack. Intelligence from European officials pointed to a Talon hide out on Mallorca in the Mediteranean. A good staging place for operations in Europe and Africa.
After hammering out the details of the proposed strike, they had called it a night, each heading for their respective bunks.
Jack pulled out his mobile as he walked through the empty halls, screen showing 2:41 am.
'Shit' he thought, 'Is it really that late?'
He yawned, turning the corner to his hallway. He looked up to see what looked to be a pile of something next to his door.
Confused he picked up his pace. Drawing closer he realized that it was Hana sitting on the floor, legs drawn to her chest, completely engulfed by his jacket she had kept. He broke into a jog, the sound bringing her out of the daze she had been in. She lifted her head and smiled a little to see him hurrying towards her.
"Hey." She said, tiredness making her voice rasp a bit.
Hana stretched out her legs, pushing herself up, making sure to keep the jacket around her shoulders, leaning into his embrace.
Jack kissed her hair, not needing to ask what had happened. He punched in the code to his room, making a mental note to give her his code so she wouldn't have to sit in the hall next time. They may be in one of the safest places in the world but it wasn't impenetrable.
The door whooshed open and he led her into his dorm, nudging her to his bed as he moved to the dresser to pull out something to sleep in.
Hana laid the jacket over the back of the chair, feeling safe once again, climbing into the sheets, quickly relaxing, eyes sliding shut as his musky scent enveloped her.
Jack pulled the shirt off over his head, throwing it into the basket in the corner, followed by his cargo shorts. He shook out the cotton pajama bottoms he'd grabbed, pulling them on. He padded to the bathroom to brush his teeth, feeling contented seeing her in his bed again.
Soon he was climbing in with her, spooning her in close to his chest and kissing her hair again before closing his eyes.
The next day was a flurry of activity, people hurrying about, firearms being tested and prepped, and plans being gone over to make sure everyone would be in sync. It was all hands on deck. Lucio had even flown back from his tour in America, catching a red-eye to lend a hand with the operation.
Hana was peeved though. She still hadn't been cleared for duty so she wouldn't be accompanying the rest of the team. She decided to busy herself helping Fareeha make sure her suit was in top shape, wishing she was working and prepping her own meka. She and Genji were being left behind to guard the base with the sentry bots and Torbjorn's turrets as neither had been approved for the mission by Angela.
Soon everyone was done with prep and grabbing a quick bite before loading onto the pair of crew transports in the hangar and leaving for the isle of Mallorca.
Jack had been busy, shouting out orders and helping the others, so Hana hadn't had a moment with him since they left his room. She wanted to say goodbye, but didn't know how.
The teams started loading up, all of them strapping in as Jack made sure everyone was in their assigned shuttle. Hana decided that she had to tell him goodbye before he left, so she worked up the nerve and strode up to him, determination on her face. She grabbed his face by the edge of his visor with both hands and with one deft movement popped it off of his face and crashed her lips to his.
Silence fell on the hangar. They had all watched her a bit puzzled, thinking that her look of determination was in order to try and join the mission. This was not what the expected.
Jack hadn't expected it either and stood there shocked for a moment, mask hanging to one side.
Hana pulled back slightly, standing on her tip toes to press her forehead to his, "You had better come back to me, Soldier." She whispered just for him to hear, as she tried to convey all the emotions she was feeling through her eyes.
Their moment was broken though, when Torbjorn decided to wolf whistle at the pair, the rest of them chuckling.
Hana's face turned bright red and she hid it against his leather clad chest. Smiling at the cuteness of her embarrassment, he smoothed a hand over her head before hooking a gloved finger under her chin and tipping her face up to his again.
"You've got nothing to worry about, kid." He reassured, quickly kissing her forehead before turning to load up in the shuttle with the others.
Hana stood and watched as the shuttle bay doors closed and the pilots guided the craft out of the hangar, repulsers revving as they went.
She sighed, turning to leave and try to find something to distract her as she sat at her post in the lab.
She decided to grab her handheld from her room and Jack's jacket from his, and trudged off to her assigned spot.
Sombra waited until the craft were well and truly clear of the base before coming out of the nitch in the rocks she had hidden herself in. She knew that there were still turrets and sentry bots all over the base, but those would be easily overcome by her skilled fingers. She slid down the rock face dropping down onto the roof, purple streaking out as her hands contacted the metal, disabling the sentry bot patrolling there.
She jumped down from the roof, landing next to the door to the storage building. She quickly got to work, using the key pad to access the base's systems, disabling defenses and familiarizing herself with the super computers defenses.
Knowing who was where and what she needed to do to accomplish her mission, Sombra waved her hand, body disappearing from sight and streaked off through the base unchallenged.
Athena's voice rang out through the lab, "Someone is trying to gain entrance into my system. Locking down essential files."
Hana dropped her handheld, grabbing her pistol from her waistband and looking for a defensible position. She tucked herself into the corner next to one of the doors, hoping to get the drop on whoever was infiltrating the base.
"All base defenses disabled, cameras down."
"Can you get them back up, Athena?" Hana called, fear creeping into her voice.
"Trying to reboot defense systems."
She tried to steady herself. It was up to her to keep whoever this was from gaining the compromising information in Athena's data banks, Genji was on the far side of the base, his post at the munitions bunker. He may not even know what was happening.
Hana took a handful of deep breaths, steeling her hands on her weapon and waited. This door was the closest to the server room behind the lab. This was the most likely point of entry.
She held her breath as the door in front of her slid open, waiting for the intruder to step in.
"I know you're in there, Mija." A woman's voice called into the room.
Hana decided to roll around the corner to face whoever this was head on, but as she spun around the corner looking for a target to train her pistol on, there was no one there.
She looked around for a moment, trying to find whoever had spoken, when a figure materialized behind her and tapped the top of her head.
"Boop!" The darker skinned woman said before bringing the butt of her pistol down on the back of Hana's head.
Sombra watched, satisfied, as the girl crumpled into a heap at her feet, kicking the pistol away from the unconscious girl.
Looking over her dainty form she commented, "Looks like the super soldier has a new play thing." Nudging the jacket with her toe before leaving the girl to enter the lab and complete the mission.
Sombra quickly broke through Athena's firewalls, downloading information on agents, missions and other key details. She wiped the system clean of any digital fingerprints before she turned to leave, disappearing once a gain and leaving the lab.
She'd use the other juicy tidbit she learned manipulate Reaper when she returned.
