Vroom!
The sounds of a racing sports car filled the air as it drove though cold night on the streets of the highway. The night was still young as the two warriors made their way towards the base to offer their assistance. It was going to be a while before they get there so they managed their time wisely. Pharah was focused on the road while Soldier loaded and checked his shot gun from their latest fight. The only sounds that were present was the clicking and pumping of his weapon and the faint sound of the radio from the car. Pharah didn't mind the radio, but the sounds of Soldier constantly checking his weapon was starting to get the best of her.
"Soldier." She said which caused him to turn towards her.
"What is it? Can't you see I'm trying to reload my weapon before we head back to the base? I need to make sure I have enough to deal with those unpatriotic bastards." He replied. Pharah simply ignored the attitude as she explained her dilemma to him.
"That's the promblem. The sounds you're making are distracting me from the road. Can you please refrain from loading your weapon until we get off the road? I'm trying to make sure we make it there safely after all."
Her answer was met with opposition from Soldier. Their conversations never fail to turn into a full blown argument with each other. That dominant personality they both had was always a key factor in this as well.
"How about you just focus on the road better! I need to make sure we have enough ammunition to deal with whatever we're up against!"
"How're we supposed to do that if we crash because I can't focus! It's not like I'm asking you to quit all together!"
"That's the consequences of not letting me driv-"
"You know what... Just drop it. You can carry on with what you were doing. Forgive me for being mindful of our health." She said as she put her full attention to the road. Soldier huffed as he went back to his weapon.
The familiar sounds of the radio and Soldier's weapon filled the car yet again as they both put all of their focus into their task. This went on for a few more minutes until one of them finally broke the silence. Usually they would've argued for longer but something just felt off. He decided to break the silence with a question that was bothering him.
"I was wondering..."
"Wondering about what?" She said as her eyes never left the road. Soldier examined his shotgun as he continued.
"How you used our pistol so well. It's a special design only known to us so how exactly did you know what to do with it?"
She chuckled a bit after hearing that.
"As if I'm going to tell you. It's none of your concern anyway, just know that I am capable of using your team's weapons at anytime."
"That has risen my curiosity to the peak, now you must tell me or else."
"And what exactly are you going to do?"
Soldier didn't say anything as he just went back to his weapon. It may not seem like it but this ride to the base felt very awkward for the both of them. They both wanted something spontaneous to happen as if to relieve this silence. They just weren't feeling like their usual selfs tonight.
"You're not gonna do anything?"
"No reason too."
The two went back to the awkward silence. It felt really tense until Pharah had an ideal topic for them to talk about. Something that could always drag on a conversation.
"So, How was your time at the club?"
"As if I'm going to tell you." He said with a smug smile. It seems that Pharah was going to have her hands full with this one.
"It's fine, you don't have to tell me the amount of fun you had with me." She said which made Soldier take offense. He quickly remembered the reason they went out in the first place.
"What are you on about softie?! That doesn't mean anything!" He said but his smile betrayed his words. Pharah was quick to point it out.
"Well, the smile on your face begs to differ, admit it, you had a great time. The music, the dancing, along with me of course. It must've been difficult taking your eyes off me.~" She said, returning the smug smile back to him.
Soldier knew he couldn't just give up that easily.
"What about your time, huh? I'm sure I provided you with the best night of your life, especially on the dance floor. Bet you didn't know I still got it huh?He said which was met with laughs from her.
"And I'm the one talking nonsense. I had fun, sure, but it's not like I had that much fun." She said with tinted cheeks of pink that Soldier could see through the darkness of the night.
"Those pink cheeks of your's say you did. "
The two soldiers stared at each other, waiting for the other to fire back. As much as they wanted to say that they didn't enjoy their night, their physical reactions exposed their true thoughts on how it turned out. The two had a wonderful night and both of them hoped that they could do it again.
They never thought they had this much fun with their 'rival'
*Clink Clink
The two were brought out of their thoughts as the sound of metal colliding filled their ears, it seem that the sound came from bullets. Pharah looked in the side mirrors and saw two vehicles approaching them from the back with armed robots hanging out the windows. The club logo was extremely apparent on their vehicle, it seems the boss wasn't done with them just yet.
"We got sights on them boss, what's the next move?" The robotic shooter asked on his phone.
"Finished what the other useless robots couldn't. I want them dead. Now." The boss said as he abruptly hung up the phone. The shooter leaned out of his window to give directions to the other vehicle.
"Stay behind us just in case! We can't let these two escape!" His words were met with a thumbs up from the other driver. The first vehicle increased their speed and were right behind the two warriors. Pharah and Soldier need to do something quickly, moments like these brings out their killer instincts and quick thinking.
"Soldier, we need to lose them before they run us off the road, got any ideas?"
Soldier said nonthing as he reached in the back and pulled out his beloved RPG. As he was loading the weapon, Pharah interrupted him by grabbing his beloved primary.
"You're not using that."
Soldier could not believe what he was hearing.
"You can't be serious right now!We're being chased by self aware can openers! I'm not taking any chances!" He exclaimed.
"We don't know if there's any humans in the car! This what I'm talking about, you don't think things thro-"
*Crash*
The vehicle pulled up to the side of the agents car and tried to ram it off the road. The robot, with the assault rifle in its hands, leaned over to get a good shot at the two. Pharah was trying her best to keep the car on the street and out of the robot's line of sight while Soldier was thinking of another way to deal with the vehicles.
"Use your shotgun and disable their cars!" She suggested.
"Negative, I only have eleven more shots left! I need these for when we reach the base!"
"Then how are we going to get them off our trail!?"
Soldier knew exactly how to stop them, convincing her to go with it was another story.
"...Open the window."
As soon as those words left his mouth, she shook her head.
"Oh no, I'm not letting you do anything crazy like that! Do you ev-"
"Pharah, If you want us to make it there to help our team, open the window!"
It seems that he was determined to go through with his plan regardless. She sighed as she lowered his window, granting him access to proceed with his plan. Before he jumped out, she grabbed him by the shoulders.
"Just be careful idiot."
Those words were met with his smile as went to the back of their vehicle, he gave her a nod and she lowered the window towards the end of their car. The robot was still trying to get a good angle on them, unaware that a person was planning to get on their vehicle.
"I still can't get an angle! Drive closer!" The robot said which was met with a frustrated answer.
"There's no way I can do that! We're also trying to stay on the ro-!"
Thump!
The conversation between the driver and shooter was cut short due a loud sound, the shooter was furious, he thought the driver hit something.
"I bet you hit something you blind fool!"
"Always blaming me! I think the noise came from up top, why don't you check it out since you're the muscle!"
The robot mumbled silent curses as he leaned his whole frame out of the window to check the roof of the car. A few seconds of silence passed as the driver was waiting for the robot to return.
Then the sound of someone leaning back in was heard by the driver. The robot would've reported what he found but it didn't say a word.
"Well, What was up there?" The driver asked.
"Only the greatest American alive!"
As the driver acknowledged those words, he turned around only to be met with the sight of a fist and pure darkness after that.

Pharah was wondering what was happening in that car, it wouldn't take this long to conquer a vehicle but her wonders were finally put to rest as the window lowered to reveal Soldier with a thumbs up.
"This vehicle is secured. You can thank me later." He said, Pharah had a look of confusion which didn't go unnoticed by Soldier.
"What now?"
"Who's behind the wheel?"
Soldier's smile quickly turned into a straight face as the vehicle began to swerve out of control. It seems that Soldier didn't think this whole thing through like usual. Pharah signaled for him to jump out the window towards their car which he did with no hesitation.
Thump!
After a few seconds of swerving, the unmanned vehicle drove off the road into a tree, rendering it immobile. It seems their plan was successful but their was no time to rest as the other vehicle increased its speed. The vehicle housed two robotic shooters which let out shots at Soilder who had yet to get in the car.
"Get em!"
Rat-tat-tat!
They let out a volley of bullets as Soldier who quickly retreated into their car with minimal injuries and bullet wounds. He was used to getting shot at so it really wasn't much for him to worry about it. Now that one vehicle was taken care of, they had to think of an idea to take down the other one. The same plan wouldn't be as effective due to their increased fire power, along with Soldier being a bit injured for the task.
"Cmon...how do you even work this thing?!"
Pharah looked over to her distressed partner with an assault rifle in his hand. It appears that he was trying to work it but was confused by the modern design. It seems that he hasn't adjusted to the modern weaponary yet.
"Where did you get that?"
"From the vehicle I crashed. They clearly didn't need it anymore so I helped myself. We're gonna need all the power we can get." He said as he continued to fiddle with it. Pharah tried not to laugh at difficulty he was having with the weapon.
"You don't know how to use those, do you?"
"O-Of course I know how to use these! I simply forgot!"
She could easily operate the weapon but it would require her full attention. If they wanted to reach the base, she had to do the unthinkable.
"... I'll take care of the vehicle behind us and you drive for a bit but as soon as I'm done, we switch back, understood?"
Soldier thought about it. Letting her show him up was something he always wanted to avoid, but this was a chance to drive the new car for a bit.
"Alright, don't think I'm doing this because you're a better shot than me!"
"Wouldn't think of it, now move over."
After a bit of difficulty, the two finally switched seats and task, Pharah took the passenger seat with the rifle while Soldier got behind the wheel. She wasted no time as she quickly readied her weapon, she took one more glance at Soldier who already knew what she was going to say.
"Yeah, yeah...I'll be careful cupcake." He said which brought out giggles from Pharah. They always found the time to make fun of each other no matter the situation, she didn't mind it at all as she retorted back.
"Thanks honey."
She leaned out the window and returned fire with decent accuracy. It was heated affair between the vehicles as they returned shots towards each other. Soldier driving skills weren't helping the situation as it was throwing off her aim a bit.
"Can you calm down a bit on the wheel! It's already difficult enough hitting a moving target!"
"So you want me to drive like a Canadian?!"
"You're a headache!"
"And you're a stomach ache! Two can play these games missy!"
Pharah knew that with Soldier behind the wheel, she wasn't going to get a clear shot on anyone. Maybe if she shot something else that would render their vehicle completely useless.
She took that chance as she began to spray at their tires. Her guess was right as the tires began to deflate and the vehicle started to slow down. The last of the vehicles were taken care off as the figure of the agitated robots and driver began to disappear. Soldier and Pharah had nonthing but road ahead of them. They live to fight another day.
The two were driving for a few minutes until Pharah elbowed Soldier which got his attention. Now that they were in the clear, it was time to switch task.
"Switch seats moron."
"Why?"
"Because you drive like a maniac, now... switch or I'll force you." She said with a pause in her sentence. Soldier wasn't going to give her the wheel that easy. It seems that something was wrong with her and Soldier knew exactly what it was.
"Negative, you're tired and I will not allow a crash to happen because of it. I will continue to drive until we get there."
"Tired?! I'm not- *yawn* -tired!" She finished as her eyes slowly began to droop. Soldier couldn't help but tease her as she slowly succumbing to her sleepy state.
"Look at you, already tired before we even reached the... base."
Uh oh.
"Don't speak too soon, it seems you're also at the brink of sleepiness as well."
"AMERICANS DON'T- *yawn*-GET TIRED MISSY!" He said as Pharah began to slowly chuckle. It seems that both of the warriors were in need of some time to recover, the battle at the club along with highway chase did a number on their stamina. They don't stand a chance against anybody like this.
"How about we both just take a small rest? A little down time won't hurt anyone." Soldier wasn't having it as he continued to drive.
"And risk our teammates losing the battle!? Like hell I'm goin-"
Skrrr!
Soldier's grip slipped on the wheel as he tried his best to control it. After the recovery, Pharah gave him a demanding look along with demanding words.
"Pull over."
"B-"
"Now."
Soldier thought it was best to follow her command for, he's already been through enough situations when he was out of energy and she would take full advantage, there's no way he's experiencing that again. The two warriors finally came to a stop and set up for a bit of rest.
Soldier was starting to close his eyes and rest as he used his coat as a cover but was distracted by the sound of... shivering?
*Brrr*
He turned towards his teamate who appeared to be asleep with her eyes shut but her shivering body says otherwise. Her attire wasn't really meant for this kind of weather during the late night, so Soldier decided to help her a bit.
He took off the coat of his tuxedo and promptly wrapped it around Pharah, who seemed annoyed by his actions as it stirred her from her sleep.
"What are you doing?" She asked as she opened one eye to see what was wrapped around her.
"It's my coat, I saw you were shivering so...-"
"Take it back. It's my fault for dressing this way so I should take my consequences." She said as she unwrapped his coat and handed it to him to which he refused.
"I can't take it back, it wouldn't be right as your date to make you feel uncomfortable."
Pharah said nonthing as she let those words sink in. She completely forgot the reason they were out here in the first place. But was this date really a date?
Brrr*
After a few seconds, she noticed that he was also beginning to shiver. All the holes from today's conflict wasn't doing much justice. She decided to return the favor as she closed the distance between them and shared her warmth with him. She was basically leaning her body on his sitting form. Now it was his turn to be confused.
"What are you doin-"
"Not another word idiot. I'm simply returning the favor, nonthing else."
The two were probably a blushing mess but due to the night sky, their facial features were hard to see. Pharah was the first to fall asleep as Soldier stood on guard for a bit, just in case.
He quickly glanced down at his roommate as thoughts about her filled his mind, her sleeping form was such a marvel to look at. Out of all the agents, she has most certainly made an impression on him. He's never really met anyone with the same tenacity that she has. He doesn't know why but he just revels in the feeling of being at war with her, nonthing has given him a better reason to improve himself then her.
*slip*
Then that's when he noticed that there was something sticking out on his coat. He pulled it out to reveal the pictures they took at the fair on their secret outing. His eyes went straight towards the last picture. He just couldn't look away from this...pretty pose they both had. It's as if they were both...
"...it is a nice picture, isn't it?"
Soldier wasn't even surprised that she was still awake, there was no way she would just fall asleep just like that.
"Yeah, it's nice."
The two soldiers simply stared at the photo, reminiscing about the memories behind the photo. All the time they spent together, the many battles they've won as a team, they both wondered if that actually meant something to them now.
"...Soldier?"
He raised his head to show that he was listening. Pharah thought about what she was doing and decided against it.
"Never mind, it's stupid anyway. Let's just rest for now. I'm confident out team will be able to hold their own." She said as she began to close her eyes and lean more into him as if he was her pillow.
She hoped he wouldn't move away from her embrace.
After a few minutes passed, the sounds of her gentle breathing began to fill the car as she slept which was pulling Soldier closer to his slumber.
Before he submitted to his sleep, he left a parting gift to the sleeping Pharah as he wrapped a protective arm around her.
He hoped she wouldn't wake up from his contact.
After a few seconds, he finally fell asleep as he began to snore, completely unaware of the small smile she had when she huddled a bit closer. The two warriors were finally getting some rest for their upcoming fight at the base. A rest well deserved for their performance today.
Hopefully, their teammates will be able to hold their own.
My guys... I'm guessing that some of you are thinking; "I waited three fucking weeks for this short ass update?!
