Gunslingers and Lightbringers
Chapter 11
Symmetra walked outside the hotel late at night, her cheek still bruised.
The stars of the West were substantially brighter than those of Utopaea, since that large city occulted the heavens with their own lights.
Symmetra looked back in the hotel and noticed McCree was not in the recliner, which shocked her until she heard the shifting of sand nearby. Hearing this noise, the woman was led behind the hotel only to see McCree sitting on a stone and looking at the sky.
"Glad you could join me, Symmy." McCree spoke, "Come, sit down." he patted the area next to him, "Enjoy the stars, aren't they heavenly." he said and lit up a cigar.
Symmetra stood next to him, "What is with you, McCree? How can you live here?" she asked.
"When you're born here, you kinda have to get used to it." McCree chuckled and puffed smoke, "Now before you cry afoul with child abuse, I would chose no other place than here... and trust me, I've been 'round the world." he pointed to the sky.
Symmetra looked to see a shooting star.
"They say you can make a wish." McCree chuckled.
"How preposterous." Symmetra scoffed and looked at him.
"I thought you would say that." McCree muttered, "But Imma make one anyways." he said and closed his eyes, then looked at Symmetra and chuckled, "It's a stretch but it could work."
Symmetra looked at him, "Superstition is the downfall of soci-"
"Symmy." McCree mumbled, "Shut up and look at the stars." he said and looked up.
Symmetra sighed and also looked up.
McCree shuffled his hand to grab hers, his leather gloves being instantly noticed by the woman.
"What are you doing?" Symmetra looked at McCree, but conceded anyways, "McCree."
"I wished that you would change." McCree spoke "I wish you could see that freedom rings... and that maybe, just maybe, see if you can be a new person."
"Why would you wish that?" Symmetra grumbled, "I am fine the way I am."
"I just wish better for you." McCree stared at her, "Ma always said treat women like angels, I guess that stuck- even after she went." he sighed and stood up, "Imma hit the hay-" he felt a hand grab him.
"McCree." Symmetra looked at him with loving eyes, "I- Thank you." she brought him closer.
McCree smiled and grabbed her head, then brought her in for kiss.
The two locked lips and closed their eyes, the ecstasy of the moment striking McCree so much that he could not feel a subtle strike to his back.
Symmetra pulled away and revealed a blade of light covered with blood.
McCree's eyes shot open and he felt the pain overcome him, then he fell to his knees.
"Miss Symmetra." some soldiers appeared from behind an outhouse, "The convoy is over here." they surrounded her."Good." Symmetra nodded and looked at McCree, who was now on the ground, "Leave him... His West will take him away." she said and walked off with the Vishkarian soldiers.
"I bet my life on you..." McCree groaned as he saw Symmetra's robotic high heels walk off, then fainted.
