Chapter 20

Guilty

Hana had sat in the hangar the entire day, starring at the place where the Orca should have been. After she failed to bring her to the mess hall, Tracer decided to check on the brunette every hour. The sky was vividly orange when the sound of a plane coming back echoed in the hangar, and finally, Hana got back to her feet. She waited, and waited. The landing felt incredibly long, and the time the plane took to park itself even longer. But finally the trap door opened, and Pharah's team walked out, following Mercy who was taking them to the med bay. Aleksandra and Mei followed, then Genji. Hana didn't dare to take a step closer. She took a deep breath, and only when she saw a lean blue figure, but still glowing in purple, she finally moved. Sombra's new outfit was both discrete and dashing. An old blue Overwatch long-coat had been used to mimic her old one, but Hana found herself liking the sight of Sombra with an Overwatch logo on her.

Sombra walked off the plane, McCree behind her. She instantly heard the quick steps making their way toward her, and turned around. There was Hana, walking quickly to her. She smiled brightly, genuinely. She wanted to brag, to tell Hana how she had saved the day. The next second a hand violently made contact with her cheek, sending her head flying on its axis, to the point she heard her neck cracking. The impact of the slap echoed like one last drop of water in the middle of a deadly silent and made everyone still in the hangar turn to them.

"That one I deserved. Want to give it another go, I think the other cheek is jealous."

But instead of slapping her again, Hana's hand gripped the front of her jacket and brought her down for a kiss, which Sombra was more than happy to reciprocate. She snaked her arms around the brunette's waist and held her close. She knew she would be welcomed by Hana, and that it wouldn't be pleasant. She was only partially wrong.

They separated when McCree whistled, which was followed by Hana showing him her middle finger.

"Got it, I'm out." he declared before walking away, and prompt the others to follow him.

Sombra's gaze followed them but was quickly pulled away when Hana trapped her chin between her fingers and forced her purple gaze back on her own brown one. The hacker was mesmerized for a second or two.

"You! How dare you let me wake up alone like that!"

"I know. And there is no amount of apologizing that I could ever do to be forgiven."

"I don't know, saving the day is already a start."

"You know?"

"Tracer told me, the team told Winston on the way back."

"Maybe. I don't know, I just slept."

Hana let go of Sombra's neck and pulled away just enough to take Sombra's hand in her own and guide her away from the plane.

"So, you killed Reaper?"

"Killed. Yes. For now. But it's enough for me right now. The payoff wasn't as good as I thought it would be."

"No more revenge plot?"

"Not anymore. From now on, I'm a good and productive member of Overwatch."

The snow had yet to melt, but the cabin was warm enough, mostly because Sombra had had radiators installed since the last time they came. It was nice to take a little holiday there, Hana felt like they both needed it. The both of them had spent so much time going on missions and generally working that they were both exhausted. Driving the snow motor-bike up there was a real pleasure, just the feel of speed in her hair and Sombra's arms around her. Nothing had changed in the cabin, beside the radiators. Everything had been left just as it had been when they had left.

When Hana walked into the kitchen to set the groceries they had brought with them, she even found the bowl she had taken out to make some churros, and the not so fresh coffee still in the coffeepot. She didn't even dare to open the fridge.

"I think we are going to have to clean the fridge!" she yelled.

She was about to unpack, but since no answer came she walked into the bedroom, where she knew Sombra was supposed to bring their stuff. She paused by the door. The cold winter air was entering the room and making the curtains fly, but the shadow of her girlfriend cut itself out through the white veils. She walked up to her, brushing past the curtains to enter the balcony, and found Sombra leaning against the rail. She hugged her back and felt Sombra's lung tremble with a sigh of contentment. Through the clothes, she could feel the device on Sombra's back against her cheek.

"Don't tell me it's your spine again?"

Sombra took Hana's hand in hers.

"I had forgotten how nice the view was."

"Well, you weren't really at your peak the last time we were here."

Sombra only hummed. It all felt so surreal like it had all happen in another life. She was no longer Sombra, the terrible hacker who people feared and adored. Now she was Sombra, Overwatch's technical support and neutral chaos who still liked to prank people from time to time. Her usual purple of vengeance had shifted to blue, even the glowing cables on her head now had the same blue color as the old Overwatch uniforms. A few days before they had left, she had fixed the broken shoulder of their Omnic companion Zenyatta. As soon as she had been done, she had had a long moment of pause. The monk Omnic had told her how he felt that she was somewhat finally at peace. She couldn't agree more.

"Speaking of last time, not only do you still owe me churros, but the fridge is probably full of rotten things."

"Seriously?"

She let out a groan and turned around in Hana's embrace.

"Want to make a deal? I make churros and you clean the fridge."

"No way! You clean the fridge and I start the fireplace."

"There's no wood, how are you gonna do that, hum?"

"In case you hadn't notice, I've been working out with Zarya."

"Oh, I've noticed alright. Now you can carry me back to the plane if I pass out again, can't you?"

Sombra walked back into the room, and Hana crossed her arms and followed her.

"Don't say that! Never again, got it?"

Sombra turned around but kept on walking toward the kitchen, a smirk on her face.

"Promise."
