Good god we made it to ten chapters. Jeez I didn't think we would make it. I'm glad people are enjoying the Zarya pairing and my writing in general. Well in this chapter...we meet the Shimadas. There's also an important note at the end that has to deal with something that occurs in this chapter so I suggest you read it when you get there. Thank you

-Hanamura, Japan-

It's been awhile since I had been in Japan...I still spoke the language well at the very least. I held my finger to my ear.

"Who am I looking for again, McCree?" I asked, walking into an alley. I was heading towards a temple. The temple of dueling dragons.

"Genji Shimada. He was part of Blackwatch with me and your old man. He has a lot of cybernetics. Looks like an omnic really, but he's still human. The parts that count anyway." McCree's voice over the radio served two purposes. Justifying my trespassing on a Yakuza temple...and giving me an excuse to be on guard. I was told not to bring any firearms on this mission, I just had my nightstick and a small fixed-blade in my boot. I sighed as I hopped the small fence that lead to the temple, there were Yakuza guards lying unconscious at the entrance.

"Someone's angry…" I mumbled, entering the temple myself, my nightstick drawn and held like a tonfa. There was a man at the center of the temple, in front of the shrine. The tapestry containing the story of the two brother dragons was partially cut. The man was praying, burning incense. I sat down myself, and waited. It wasn't my place to interrupt.

"You're not like those who've come before, assassin." The man stated. I sighed softly and stood up,

"I'm not an assassin." I said, holstering my nightstick. "I'm a cop...well used to be anyway." The man turned to face me, recognition dawning on his face.

"You're the man from Overwatch. The recruiter. Why are you here, Reyes-san. This is my family's sacred ground." The man asked, I put my hands up placatingly.

"I meant no disrespect. The person I'm looking for, he was spotted in the area. One of our members told me to come here. But you're not him. His name is-" a blade came to rest at the back of my neck.

"Forgive me, Reyes-kun. We will talk later. I must converse with this man myself concerning my identity." The voice was young. Definitely Japanese, and definitely filtered through a mask. The man in the front picked up his weapon, a bow, and drew an arrow, targeting the assailant behind me.

"Let the boy go, assassin."

"I will. I'm not here for him. I've come for you."

"You are not the first. And will not be the last." Using their distraction I rolled forward, unsheathing my knife and flinging it at the assailant. It was a man in white armour, green lights highlighting the joints and his visor. I drew my nightstick and spun it in my hand.

"I'm not that easy to intimidate." I growled, stepping into a fighting stance. The man in the front stepped to my side.

"I am Shimada Hanzo, Reyes-san. Will you assist me, officer?" My eyes narrowed but I nodded, if the attacker was who I thought he was, I needed to make sure he was trustworthy...when two men cross fists, their thoughts and motivations become clear. Genji had chosen to attack me, I needed to know why...fighting him alongside his brother gave me the chance to figure it out. Genji had sheathed his blade, stepping into a martial arts stance. He seemed to be doing the same thing I was. Why he wanted to fight his brother. I didn't know. Cocking his fingers in the universal 'come on' motion, I rushed the cyborg ninja, blocking his first attack and countering. We stayed locked in combat for a few minutes, dodging, blocking, and countering one another's attacks. He was holding back, I narrowed my eyes and pressed my offensive. Driving the nightstick into his abdomen and unleashing a flurry of jabs, ending with a hard kick that he caught at his chest.

"Shit." I mumbled before being thrown away from him, Hanzo unleashed an arrow at Genji, who unsheathed his sword and cut the arrow in two. Hanzo's eyes widened as he saw the blade.

"Who are you?" He asked, Genji stayed quiet. Enraged, Hanzo rushed forward, using his bow like a staff, his blows deflected by his brother. I rushed in, attacking alongside Hanzo. I got in close, catching the man's wrist and throwing him over my shoulder. He righted himself in midair and landed on his feet. I heard Hanzo's voice rise.

"RYU GA WAGA TEKI O KURAO!" The arrow he fired became encompassed in a blue light, blue dragons. Genji held his blade in two hands and faced the dragons head on, his own shout let itself known.

"RYUJIN NO KEN NO KURAE!"

The two dragons came our way, joined by a third, green one. Thinking fast I tackled Hanzo out of their path. The archer himself was staring at his brother in shock.

"Genji…?" He asked. The ninja lifted his hand to his mask and removed it, revealing a young man's face, a horizontal scar across his nose.

"No matter how much incense you burn, you cannot find what you already have, Brother. I have already forgiven you." The cyborg stated.

"But...I killed you…"

"An Angel of Mercy came to my aid, brother...I did not deserve her help, yet she saved me nonetheless." I exited the temple and waited outside, idly punting a guard that was waking up back into unconsciousness. After a while I felt someone tap my shoulder. The two brothers stood behind me. Seemingly having made up.

"Thank you for giving us privacy, Reyes-kun. Now, why are you looking for me?" Genji asked, his brother narrowed his eyes at me before I started talking.

"I'm the field recruiter for Overwatch. It's not that hard to figure out why I'm looking for you, Shimada Genji. You worked under my father. While Blackwatch has been disbanded, my father is in custody and Jesse McCree has joined our ranks. You're the only member of Blackwatch left...I'm here to offer you a choice to rejoin Overwatch. The offer extends to your brother as well. I joined originally to get revenge on my father...however I was captured by him and other agents of Talon...he secured my rescue and surrendered himself into our custody." Hanzo's eyes seemed to soften,

"I do not know what he did to warrant you seeking revenge...but even through his actions, he was still your father. He wouldn't see his son harmed." He said. I sighed and looked down for a second, looking back up at Genji.

"Genji-san, you're a lot better of a man than me. I still haven't forgiven my father...but I'm not sure what to think of him anymore...however I'm not here to compare family life. I'm here to recruit you. What do you say? How would you two like to help preserve the peace of the world, and prevent a second Omnic crisis from occurring."

-on the osprey back to Gibraltar.-

"This is all rather surreal…" Genji stated, Hanzo and I looked at him curiously. "Going back to overwatch, Brother joining to work alongside me. Heh, father must be turning in his grave considering that we're not running the syndicate." Genji chuckled, I simply scratched the back of my neck sheepishly.

"The world works in mysterious ways. One day you can be a simple city cop, the next, fighting alongside a genetically enhanced gorilla. My friend Cayde would say that the Iris can be shining on you one moment, the next it can be casting its shadow." I said, stretching my arms slightly. "I tend to just go with the flow as much I can. Although sometimes I feel like I'm being swept away and can't help but fight it."

"My master would like your friend." Genji quipped. I shrugged.

"Cayde's a clever Omnic. Bit of a cynic at times though."

"How much longer is this flight, Reyes-san?" Hanzo interrupted.

"Look out the window and take a guess." Taking a look out of the window on his side he could see the base approaching.

"Oh."

"Yeah, these things are faster than they look. Anyway, Commander Morrison should be waiting for you guys, oh, and call me Jason. I feel like my old chief is yelling at me when you call me Reyes."

-little bit later-

"How'd the mission go, drakonchik?" Aleksandra asked, she was sitting at the computer in our now shared room. Looking over some of the magazines that had written articles on us. I sat next to her and leaned on her gently, resting my head on her shoulder and reading the articles as well.

"Well I recruited Shimada...and the other Shimada, who had killed the first Shimada, and the first Shimada fought both me and the second Shimada, who pulls dragons out of his bloody quiver, and the first one also has a bloody dragon, who can beat the second Shimada's dragons. End result? Hanzo and Genji Shimada are now members of Overwatch." I mumbled, Aleksandra nodded and clicked on another article.

"I read this one earlier and found it entertaining, take a look." She said, obliging I leaned forward and read the article.

"New couple Jason Reyes and Aleksandra Zaryanova are taking the romance world by complete surprise. However the reactions received by last month's worldwide reveal have been mostly positive. However one question remains for the two soldiers...who's on top...why does everyone want to guess at our sex-life...we don't even have one yet…" I read, then mumbled, Aleksandra let out a giggle before leaning forward and scrolling down, revealing the results of the poll, before biting my ear and whispering.

"93 percent of the viewership thinks I'll be on top...we'll give them an answer in the morning." The blush on my face could've been radioactive with how bright red my face went. Giggling Aleksandra locked the door and dragged me to the bed. "Ya zhdal vosem' let, chtoby sdelat' eto, moya lyubov'."

-The next morning-(Read the author's note at the bottom)

We didn't sleep at all...when the sun came through the window, Aleksandra was staring at me smiling and going in for another kiss. We were both still naked, but held each other under the covers of the bed. Her skin was surprising soft against mine. The afterglow of our night of passion still exuding from us, she rested her head on my chest.

"This is going to be a normal occurrence from now on...why did we not do this earlier?" She mumbled, looking up at me with a small smirk. "Oh yes...my drakonchik...do not worry, I am very...very satisfied with your performance." I simply pulled her up and kissed her, our tongues dancing for a second before separating once again. I held her close and we layed together.

"I love you, Aleksandra." I whispered, her smile was blinding,

"I love you too Jason." She snuggled close to me and once again rested her head on my chest. "And I don't intend to let you go, drakonchik. You're mine...and I am yours."

Another short chapter, however it was originally longer...the reason it's shorter is because I cut out the lemon I had written. I still have it. And depending on you guys' response to this question, it's just an update from getting put back in. Do you all want to see lemons in this story? It won't be often when I do. My editor who wishes to remain anonymous recommended I write this lemon and ask you guys if you wanted to see it. I personally am inexperienced at writing lemons, but wouldn't mind writing them. When I upload this, I'm going to have two versions, the one with the lemon and the one without. So in the end it's up to you all. PM me or review your vote for whether or not lemons should be included in the story. I hope you all enjoyed the chapter and thank you all for your reviews so far. And Mike, I may just take you up on that offer my friend, thank you...don't forget to review!
