Title: Against the rules
Chapter 27: Waking up
/.\
Sombra's POV
I press my face further into the slim neck of my partner. Her back pressed against my front because she is my small spoon.
I open my eyes softly, adjusting to the light difference with it being early morning. I get graced with a skinny pale neck that looks so enticing.
Pulling my arms tighter, I hold our naked bodies together, loving the feel of her soft skin against my own. There's just something about feeling someone so intimately that makes the experience so much more perfect.
I know she's awake by the sigh of content escaping her, making her chest inflate and deflate in my arms.
Smiling, I press my lips into her neck, feeling how smooth it is and appreciating my girlfriends joint that holds her head.
"Babe… I'm ticklish." I hear her slowly let out, still waking up slowly. I already knew this aspect about her, I teased her for a while about it.
"I know." I mumble as my fingers move to her ribs slowly, threatening to do my worst.
She turns her face to look at me, her chocolate hair sliding out of the way like a silk curtain. Her eyes squint softly in slight challenge.
"You wouldn't…" she dares me, holding my gaze for a long while. Her body stays unmoving for a moment, my fingers not changing their position.
I give her one of my devilish smirks before her face morphs into one of shocks then abrupt giggles as I start to tickle her ribs, making sure not to press down too hard so I don't mark her.
"S-S-S-Sombra-a… S-Stop!" she manages to get out before laughing harder, her body twisting in my embrace to escape my punishment.
I climb on top of her and hold her hands above her head as she tries to catch her breath. I stopped at her request, but I know she'll want to get me back.
Soon her eyes train onto me in a small glare as she thinks of my betrayal. I smile at her cheekily half expecting her to hit me but she just leaves me surprised.
She starts to laugh, a real laugh. It didn't last long until her hands slip out of my own shocked ones to hold my face with a love filled look on her face.
"Oh Sombra…" she sighs happily before bringing our faces together in a sweet kiss. When we pull away I feel a smile tug on my own lips from the pure happiness we're feeling.
"I love you Chika." I whisper, enjoying one of the only chances we can say it to each other, not wishing for the rest of the group to see how serious we are about each other.
"I love you too Kokoa."

Widowmaker's POV
I feel her shift beside me impatiently. How long has she been awake? How long has she been waiting for me to wake up?
I tell my body to wake up and open my eyes, blinking a couple of times to get used to the brightness of the room.
"Morning Chérie." I whisper groggily from the inactivity of my voice. I feel her flinch under my embrace, not expecting me to be awake that moment.
"Jesus love you wake up fast." Lena says, holding her chest from the small fright I gave her.
"Sorry. Its my training. I can't be seen asleep by my enemy." I reply. Pulling her closer to me, I kiss her head in a more intimate apology.
"It's alright love. Just startled me a little." she says, pushing herself back into me to make us closer. Her hand reaches back as she rubs my upper arm affectionately.
I smile as I hold her. I don't deserve a woman like this. Scratch that, no one deserves this perfect woman. I'm just lucky to have her.
My hand moves to her chest, feeling the heartbeat that belongs to my Lena. It's fast compared to my own. But it's steady for her. Her own hand connects to mine and locks our fingers together.
"Getting a little handsy are we?" Lena asks jokingly, her thumb stroking the back of my hand in slow circles.
I smirk softly. I love her light nature, it's so refreshing at times. I place a lazy kiss to her neck before answering.
"Would there be a problem if I was?" I cock my eye in question, knowing that she can't see it but knows I'm doing it.
She rolls over closer to me so she's laying on her back, her soft brown eyes look up at my own golden ones. Her fingers are still holding my own on her chest.
All of our previous conversation seems to be lost as her brows furrow slightly and her eyes glaze over in thought. I let her think whatever it is through because it must be serious if she's frowning.
Her fingers absentmindedly play with my own as the cogs in her head churn and digest her thoughts.
I check the clock and notice how late it actually is. 7:00am. We're going to have to go to the meeting point soon.
"Don't get hurt." I hear Lena whisper. Her head leaving her overactive mind.
I look down to see actual fear in her eyes, her brows still furrowed from earlier and her fingers clenching my own tighter.
"Oh Chérie… You're the only thing that can hurt me now." I reply, slipping my hand from her own as I lift it to her face and trace her jaw with my finger, moving it up to her lips.
"I mean it. You're going to be right in front of them and you can get hurt." Lena argues, her brain obviously thinking of very real situations that can happen.
I press my lips to her forehead for a small moment, trying to make her believe that I will be fine. When I pull away her face still looks overly concerned.
"I'll kill them before they see me beau." I reassure, smiling softly to help convince her.
She watches me for a small moment before she nods and relaxes into the mattress.
Her hand moves up to feel my cold face. She starts on my cheek and smooths over my brow, forehead and nose.
I roll my eyes before moving as fast as I can to kiss her fingers. Lena giggles as she holds her hand in front of my mouth so I can kiss it over and over.
God, I love this woman.

Mercy's POV
I flinch awake. My back protesting from leaning over my desk all night. I check over the papers and equipment, seeing if my sleeping body has disrupted anything.
Once I know everything is accounted for, I rub my eyes tiredly. I stayed up late last night trying to figure out how to make Widowmaker's implants. It's a long process I'll tell you that.
I stretch out my back, my arms automatically extending above my head to help me do so and work some kinks out of my body. It's not the first time I've slept on a desk and it's surely not going to be the last.
I get a strong whiff of freshly made coffee and groan in delight. It's the cure of my life that substance. And I'm glad I have someone to make it for me this morning, I usually make it myself while Fareeha is out on her morning exercise trip.
I rub my face slowly. How long was I asleep for if she's back already? I glance up at the clock and push my messy fringes out of my face.
Jesus I need to get ready. I stretch out one more time, my legs reaching out too, I moan softly at the release. A good stretch is almost as good as sex.
"Good morning Angela." I hear from my side and relax my body smiling. I look up at my Egyptian goddess and automatically loop one arm around her gym gear clad waist.
"Morning." I whisper back, burying my face into her side softly.
"I would have moved you to the bed but you wake up when you're moved so I didn't bother." she says, placing the cup down on a coaster away from my work.
"Thank you." I reach out for her face, holding her head softly while stroking the slightly chubby cheeks.
She comes in close and presses a kiss on my head, kneeling at my side as she does.
I move my hands up, stroking her hair slowly, easing my way through her thick black tresses.
I see lines in her face that wasn't there before. Her frown seems more sturdy and there's a cold look deep in her eyes.
"Are you okay?" I ask wondering if she'll push me away from her business. I don't think she will but she looks like she has a lot on her mind.
She sighs heavily and moves a little closer, resting her head on my shoulder like I was her support.
"I don't know babe… I'm just struggling with… Ana." she mutters, her voice pausing while deciding what to call her mother.
I almost hit myself over the head. I've been more focused on my work I forgot to check how she felt about her mother and what she wants to do.
To try and amend my mistake I try to talk to her about it.
"How do you feel about her?" I ask, lacing my fingers through her hair.
"I don't know. I care about her and I want to make sure she's okay but I'm just so angry that she left without telling me anything for so long." she rants out, growling sometimes to emphasise her anger.
I carry on stroking her hair trying to think about what to say. It was a difficult situation and I could see it from both sides and why Ana did what she did. Hell I'm angry, but I understand why she did it.
"I think you should spend some time with her. Talk to her. You've both grown while being away from each other and you need to understand before you move anywhere past this. You should lay everything out on the table today and don't you dare put that wall up, she may have hurt you but she still needs this as much as you do and no wall will help this situation."
She takes a moment to think over my words. I carry on stroking her hair, loving it's softness beside the fact that she's just worked out.
"will you come with me?" I hear her ask weakly, obviously not used to being so emotional towards someone.
"absolutely." I whisper to her, placing a firm kiss on her head.
I feel her smile against my shoulder as she moves a little closer.
"Come on. We can shower together seen as though I slept in." I say, yawning softly.
Fareeha's head shoots up to look at me in disbelief like a child on Christmas.
"Really?" she asks excitedly, her body bouncing slightly from the treat that she's getting.
"Yes, now come on. We have a long day." I say as I stand up, picking up my coffee as I gulp it down as fast as I can in attempt to get into the shower quicker.
I put the cup down once I've finished only to be picked up over Fareeha's shoulder. She practically drags me to the bathroom.
God this woman is amazing. I smile softly placing a small kiss to her head.

Ewa Kowal's POV
I look up at the changing sky. I've watched it all night since I got to the meeting point after leaving my house.
I left as soon as she fell asleep. I couldn't stay any longer than that. I watch the fading blinks of light in the sky as I think about her last night. She was so desperate for me to stay.
I want to stay. But sometimes we can't get what we want. She's going to have her family back and I'll leave. I've done my job. I've protected her and helped her through some tough times. But she doesn't need me anymore. So I won't stay.
She can have her new organisation with new people and the government backing her up. I never really liked being apart of something. I like being on my own or doing something for money. If that makes me an ugly person then so be it. But it's not like I don't use that money for good because I do. I helped Ana with it and I'm going to fund Mercy with it for Widowmaker.
I'll stay in the background. Watch from afar. Make sure that they're okay. Because no matter how much I try, I will always care about them.
I sigh heavily. This is why I couldn't get any sleep. My brain gets too active when I'm about to do something big.
I sit up, watching the clouds and trying to make shapes out of them. Am I strong enough to walk away from something I care about? Someone I love?
Love is so stupid. I stand up angrily and kick a pebble off the rooftop. Why did I have to fall for her? Why couldn't I just do what Jack told me? Just look after Ana.
Jack asked me to look after Ana after her husband died. She was left with a child and had a dangerous job. Grief can do a lot of things to a person. In some ways I understood her pain, I've never really had anyone there for me, most of my family died when I was young and the only ones left didn't give a toss about me.
So I started being her friend, listening to her problems and giving my opinions about it. It soon got serious between us. I still sometimes think that her grief made her do some of the stuff she did. One night I was over at her house for dinner and she made a move on me. My stupid brain didn't deny it and we started a sexual relationship.
We would still be friends but if she was especially stressed or angry we would have sex wherever we could.
I knew it was wrong. Jack told me to be there for her not make her my cock pocket. So I spoke to Jack. He understood surprisingly and asked what I wanted to do about it.
Later that month I got sent out to a Talon base to climb their ranks. When I left Ana was surprised, but it didn't bother her too much from what I saw.
A couple of months later I had a meeting with some of the heads of overwatch. We spoke about some Talon and their plans. After the meeting I got pulled aside by Jack.
He told me that Ana has a copy of my file and when he last visited her she had a picture of me. I was shocked, I thought she didn't care and just wanted me for the sex.
Just as I parted ways with Jack I get pulled into the storage room to meet with Ana's lips. After we had sex she asked how long I was staying here for. When I said the weekend she asked if I wanted to have dinner at her place again and I agreed.
Over time I started to feel things for Ana. It used to be like a crush for a girl in school but it slowly built into a love that my negativity couldn't quench.
When I saw her lying on the floor with her eye replaced with a bullet I couldn't just leave her or drop her off at Overwatch. That would have just been insensitive and my heart wouldn't let me.
I took her in and brought her back slowly. We loved each other. But maybe she only loved me because I was there when no one else was. Maybe if she has her family back that love won't be there anymore.
I need to stop thinking about this. I can't be this clouded when I need to complete a mission.
I hear a soft clap of boots against concrete behind me and instantly reach for one of my knives.
"What are you doing up here Commander?" I hear a distinct Hispanic accent and know it's the rascal Sombra.
"Waiting for the group." I reply, making my voice level and firm, turning on my heel to face her.
"They're coming in now. Where's Ana?" Sombra asks with genuine curiosity.
I flinch slightly at the name. Don't think about it. Keep your mind clear.
"She'll be here soon." I reply, successfully making my voice as it was before.
"So there is trouble in paradise. She's already downstairs by the way. I was just checking if you knew. What happened then?" She asks, taking a seat on an old air conditioning box that probably doesn't work anymore.
"I don't want to talk about it." I snap. This doesn't surprise me. Sombra knows everything and if not she'll find it out.
She sticks her hands up in mock surrender. She soon flickers out of existence. I hear her feet padding as she runs back to where she came from still under the blanket of invisibility.
I growl softly. Why can't I just deal with my own business without her being there.
After a moment of cooling down I smile softly. Maybe this is Sombra's way of being nice.
I roll my eyes and start to my way down to the rest of the group. I'll need to talk to them sooner or later.
