Atom pushed the cart infront of her as Junkrat sat on top of the spoils and picked through what she had found while humming to himself while Roadie drove on his motorbike, the roaring dimmed to only a slight rumbling as he drove it slowly to accompany the two handling the cart. Atom was tired now, this short trip suddenly taking the whole day in the hot sun above them, but luckily a breeze would cool them now and again. Junkrat suddenly popped up out of the like holding a piece of metal in his hand as he inspected it closely.

"Oi'Catty. Can I have this one piece?" He asked, turning big brown eyes to the orange and blue ones happily as he slide across the junk heap and giving her his patented lady killer smile, which was just an off-kilter loopsided crazy looking smile with all teeth "Pleeeeease?". Atom plucked the piece of metal out of his hand and closely inspected it as well, turning it over in her fingers before setting it back in his hand.

"Yeah, take'it." She stated casually as she put her hand back down and pushed the cart again as Junkrat slid off the cart to show Roadhog what he had gotten.

"That right there is Omnic Metal and she just gave it to me! This is worth money, Roadie!"

"Well if its so special puttit back!" Atom argued eyeing Junkrat, but she also didn't need make such a fuss. She had the whole bottom of the cart littered with metal just the same. She finally saw her safehouse come into view and she clapped excitedly as she hopped on her cart and tapped it in the direction of her house and it steered itself in that direction. She stood on the haul as Roadie sped up to roll the bike along side her, Junkrat sat in the side car, looking as happy as Atom had probably ever seen him. The wind in his hair, sun blazing in the sky, and she watched as he rose his gun and sounded off with a couple of bombs exploding in the air above them. She grinned as she looked ahead as her cart carried her along, golden fang glinting in the sun. She had believed that the boys joining the Overwatch vigilantes would only be all bad, they would change, they wouldn't be the same, but maybe she had been wrong. He was still the dirty vermin she had come to know and love. Roadhog too. Silent, scary Roadie that had become like her family. She stood atop her junk and salvage, wind blowing her hair back, enjoying it all, drinking it all in as they got closer to her safehouse. More bombs went off like fireworks above the sky. And the Outback finally felt like home again.

Atom steered the big cart in her garage as if she was riding just one big hoverboard. The safe house wasn't the most beautiful thing in the world. Dyed tan from sandstorms and sun bleached, it was a simple place with simple things inside it, but it obviously belonged to Atom as the boys pushed their way inside to look around and see bits and pieces of metal and tech all over the house. Tools littered the floor. The walls had paintings and drawings all over the place. The place was an absolute mess but... Homey. Atom stood in front of a chair that was in the middle of all this clutter, kicking off her boots and taking off her leather jacket and setting it on the floor next to her boots. Glove on her normal hand was on the floor next. Bandana. Gas Mask. Before she turned and plopped into her chair as she watched Junkrat move quickly between one pile of metal to another looking at each with interest. Roadhog moved through the trash with ease. And sat beside her chair, the chair seeming to hop slightly as he took his spot beside her and they both watched Junkrat begin digging through her piles of things.

"Oh, shiny!" Junkrat stated as he dug through a pile and quickly shoved something into his pocket and kept digging.

"How has he been? You've been keeping an eye on him?" Atom asked quietly, turning to Roadhog who seemed to be thinking about it for a moment before he nodded a single time and Atom nodded as well. "Did he miss me?"

Silence went between the both of them as they heard Junkrat giggling as he jumped from one pile to another and he popped out with a large grin on his face, "Roadie look at this'in!" He held up a golden piece of metal, before looking at it in the light before he shoved that piece in his pocket as well before he was back in the pile. Roadhog thought about her question before he answered with words.

"He did. He wouldn't shut up on the way over here." Roadhog answered honestly, his voice sounding gruff and barely enough for her to hear. But she did and she smiled as she looked back at Junkrat, giggly as he could be.

"I bet it was nice to have some time away. I know how much you both really hate this place." Atom stated quietly, turning her eyes back to look at Roadhog who looked at Junkrat quietly before he looked back her.

"Its Home."

Both turned as they heard Jamie give a squeal of delight as he hopped into another pile and began to dig through it, "It's all gold! And its MIIN-"

Atom stood up quickly and looked at him with two hands on her hips and a menacing orange eye glinted with glow that meant business, "Get'yer grubby mitts outta my gold!" Junkrat looked as if he was waging his chances in his mind. He pouted and let the gold drop out of his hands before standing up and taking a step towards her. Atom stood her ground at his glare, keeping her menacing look in her own eyes. Both stared at each other for a second, as Roadhog reached over and began looking through the pile closest to him to break the silence.

Junkrat finally spread a grin across his face and put his hands up, "A'right Atty. I won't take your precious gold, promise." He moved his hand to pinch her cheek with a sweet movement. Atom smiled as well, cheeks dusting with pink over her freckles as Jamie moved over and plopped into her chair. She moved and sat on the ground in front of the chair, between Mako and Jamie before she made a face and scooted back a little.

"There is running water here, and I've got a filter all set up and runnin' so there isn't as much radiation in it. You guys should probably look into showerin'. Ya reek to high heaven," she stated gently only for Jamie and Mako to both left up an arm pit to smell themselves and both nodded. It wasn't that they minded being clean, but both were too distracted and busy to really remember to bath and she knew that... They just really did smell. However she scooted back over to be directly in front of the chair. She leaned her head against the arm of the chair and looked at Roadhog.

"How many days this time?" Atom asked curiously as Junkrat's hand found her hair and he ran a hand through it gently. It was interesting when all three were together, just how calm everyone could be.

"Only four days this time... Dusty dusty dusty," Jamie stated with a laugh as he scratched her sand covered hair, her making a face but she kept her eyes on Roadie.

"Do ya just want to stay here for that then? I don't think Queenie will want'us to have a reunion in the middle of Junkertown," she asked with a chuckle and Mako tilted his head back in thought. But Jamie interjected quickly.

"But I want'ta see Miriam! I'm sure she has new goodies for me!" Jamie stated, going back to simply playing with Atom's hair instead of scratching it.

"Miriam doesnt mind coming out here! We'll just'ave'ta meet her so she doesn't get rushed by scavvies."

"I want to see the Queen and give'er a piece of me mind then!"

"Ah yes and I'm sure she'll be thrilled to death to see ya, Jamie. She might even wait at the front door for ya with her gun in hand!"

Mako finally looked at Atom with a firm nod and looked at Jamie and Jamie looked at Mako, reading the man with some quick observations before he sighed loudly but Mako looked at Jamie, and they read one another again before Jamie looked excited.

"Now that IS an idea, Roadie! On the last day when Morrison is coming to pick us up, we can meet'em at the door with Atom in tow and when they open the door to let her in- BOOM! -personal explosion just for the Queen of Junkertown!" Jamie grinned and exploded with laughter, "She'll never see it coming!"

Mako looked back at Atom, only eyes visible to her but she picked up on the idea, "I'm alright with it, Mako. Just don't get me kicked out too," she stated with a shrug.

"Oh why not?! Then you can just come with me and Roadie!" Jamie stated and Mako merely gave a slight shrug at the thought but Atom laughed at the idea.

"Me? Join Overwatch? I don't think they'll take too kindly to another Junker on the team," she stated with laughter in her voice.

...

As the sun set, she made everyone dinner. She had been scraping and saving and scavaging harder the last 2 weeks so she would have enough to feed Jamie, Mako, and herself. Food could be hard to come across but there are some venders in Junkertown who come by hunting naturally, and boy, were they expensive. But she managed it. There was more than plenty. Even to feed Miriam if she could make it out there. Her bones were sore. Her mind was sore. But it was all worth it to see Mako and Jamie eating happily. After dinner she had excused herself to go shower, to get some of the sand out of all the important cervices. It had gotten dark and she had left the boys to their own devices. God only knows what they had gotten into but when she came from the bathroom they were nowhere to be seen. She dried her hair with a towel as she walked around, wearing just soft capris and a stained t shirt. She wondered to her room and they weren't there. She went to the guest room to see Mako and Jamie laying there. Jamie all curled up and Mako gently running one of his large hands up and down Jamie's back. She leaned against the door frame, a smile on her lips as she looked upon the scene before her. Mako looked up from his book in his other hand and motioned with his head for her to come over. She came over and sat down on the edge of the bed and Mako scooted over as much as he could and pulled Jamie over as much as he could without waking him and motioned with his head again and Atom laid down beside Jamie. Him comfortably snug in the middle. But he stirred as Atom laid down next to him and he gently wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close to him, his forehead resting against hers before he suddenly was fast asleep once again. Atom couldn't help but smile at his cuteness.

"I love when 'is sleepin'. Not such a nightmare," she stated to Mako very quietly but more than a whisper, knowing that Jamie wouldn't be waking up again. She wrapped an arm around Jamie's waist and rested it just below his hip as to not get in the way of Mako's hand touching his back. "Thank you, Roadie. For keepin' 'im safe." His answer was silent as Mako's hand reached over and gave her hair a gentle ruffle and his hand stayed rested on the top of her head as he went back to reading quietly and she snuggled into Jamie with ease, resting her forehead against his still, and, since Mako's hand stayed rested on the top of her head, her arm moved up Junkrat's back and back down in a soothing motion.

It didn't take too long before Mako would look over to see Atom asleep as well, her hair dried in a wild way from laying down and her orange eye glowed behind her eyelid and moved around as she dreamed. Mako fixed her hair with a gentle hand, before doing the same Jamie with the same gentle hand, looking at the two all wrapped up. He could never help the jealous feeling that built in the pit of his stomach when he saw Rat talking to Cat in the holomessages. They seemed able to talk for hours upon hours if Cat got a good enough signal to do so. She was brilliant and a technological genius. She was just as crazy as he was and as Rat was, but in a different way. Mako looked at the both of them as they seemed to dream together, breathing deeply. And Mako looked at them a little softer for a moment. Atom truly made Rat as happy as the Hog believed he made Rat happy. So as jealousy may come, it does quickly leave. He set his book down to the side. He leaned his back against the wall, laying one hand on his stomach while the other rested on the bed beside Rat and he felt a hand grasp his and he looked down gently to see Atom had placed her hand in his in her sleep. Her hand looked so small in his just like Rat's did. He clasped his hand shut around hers and held it as he drifted off to sleep.

...

The trio slept tightly together, all snug and cute and cozy. Save for the drooling and snoring. Not so cute, but no one was around to say it wasn't. The sun peaked through the windows and slide into the room, directly into Atom's face to where she squinted and opened one eye to see that the morning had come to smack her directly in the face. She tried to move but an arm was wrapped around her waist and she looked around to see Junkrat nestled into the crook of her back, breathing deeply. Seemingly asleep. Her neck then twisted to see Roadhog curled on his side as well. She looked down to her hand to aee that Mako held it gently and she couldn't help but smile. He must have grabbed it while she was sleeping. But the position was making her shoulder ache all the sudden. She carefully slipped her hand out of his grasp and tried to roll out of Jamie's grasp but his grip stayed strong. She tried to lift up his arm but with no avail.

"Where do ya think yer going, exactly?" Jamie's voice cooed as he pulled her closer to him. Closing any space between completely, moving to rest his chin on top of her head. "Yer not tryin' to leave are ya, Catty?"

"Yea, but just to the kitchen ta make some coffee. I was gonna come back," she answered softly to not wake Mako at the other side of the bed. She tilted her head back to look up him as he lifted his chin to rest it again on her forehead. She stuck out her tongue and he did the same before he removed his arm and let her up. She rolled over and stood up. She stretched her strong arms above her head, rolling her neck before looking over her shoulder to see him staring at her. She rose an eyebrow with a dangerous smirk but said nothing as she turned her head away and walked into the kitchen. Junkrat looked over at Roadie quietly then quickly got out of bed to follow Atom into the kitchen. A little surprise never hurt anyone right? He quickly made his way out of the doorway and looked around when suddenly he scrambled back inside and shut the door as a car alarm went off behind the door and an explosion followed it. Roadie quickly sat up in bed and looked directly at Rat.

"It wasn't me!"
