As Soon as Angela entered Ana's quarters, Ana was already laying out many different types of dresses she could wear. Ana said that it was best if she wore a summer dress, with her hair down. It took Angela two hours to find a decent dress because most of them were too form fitting or revealing for her liking. She settled with a white flowy dress, with a rope around the waist to keep her dress in place, with golden sandals to match. Angela admired her dress in the mirror while putting on sunscreen and brushing her hair. Angela liked things simple, so she decided to put on the minimal amount of makeup. At around 12:30, she got a text from Genji.

Genji:
Yo Angie! Are you still coming? Hanzo said if you aren't here by 1:05, he's going to leave.
Angie:
Of course Genji. Sorry, I'm just getting ready.
Genji:
Understandable. Take your time.

If she were, to be honest, Angela couldn't stop thinking of Hanzo. Her mind was in a war; should she be afraid of him, or be in love with him? He scared her with his attitude, but his maturity and sophisticated personality drew her in at the same time. She just looked in the mirror, contemplating what to do, when she heard a light tap on her door. "Hunbun, it's time for you to go. You only have 30 minutes to run past 8 blocks of busy city streets!" Angela sighed. She kinda wanted to bail, but she didn't want to let Overwatch down. She secretly wanted to prove to her commanders that she was strong enough to do this, but she didn't admit that to anyone, even herself. "Yes, Captain Amari! I'm on my way!" Angela ran out of her quarters and the HQ building, to the ramen shop. It was 12:55. "Shit!" Angela stumbled over a pebble and skinned her knee. "Verdammit! I guess it'll be fine. Hopefully, they don't ask what happened." She blushed in embarrassment at the thought of having to explain she tripped on a pebble because she wasn't aware of her surroundings. When she arrived, she sighed in relief that they weren't there yet. She stood in front of the ramen shop, the humid breeze flowing through her skirt and hair. She took the moment to enjoy her surroundings, breathing in the smell of ramen, and out. She heard her phone buzz.

Genji:
Yo! Sorry, we're a little late! I needed to fix my hair.
Angie:
That is quite okay! ^-^
Genji:
Hanzo is quite upset that you came..?
Angie:
Oh? That's odd.

She looked up at her phone to see the two Shimadas approaching her, Genji waving and running towards her, while Hanzo looked more edgy, his hands in his pockets, and kinda slouching his way over. Instead of wearing their robes, they both wore casual clothing. Hanzo wearing a black t shirt, and jeans, and Genji wearing a tank top with shorts. "Angie! You look stunning!" Genji picked her up and tightly hugged her. Hanzo looked somewhat flustered by Genji's actions and looked away. "Genji! You literally just met this woman! It's informal to randomly hug someone like that!" Angie lightly blushed, and Genji realizing what he was doing, immediately put her down. "M-My apologies. I kind of got carried away there. I guess I'm excited to see you..!"
"It is quite alright! I was wondering, where are you guys going to take me?"
"We're going to the arcade. Hopefully, you know how to play…" Hanzo said. She noticed he kind of looked uneasy.
"A-Arcade?" Angela thought Hanzo was trying to change her mind when he said that yesterday. She didn't think he was actually telling the truth. "I-I actually don't know how to play…"
"It's okay! I can teach you! I'm one of the best players in Hanamura! I spend most of my days playing games."
"You should be training to become an heir to our clan, not this nonsense". Hanzo spat at his brother. Genji rolled his eyes and took Angela's hand. "Ignore him. He's in a bad mood today for some reason."
Genji and Angie talked to each other about their jobs, and how their summers were going. "…So that's how I got a job at Rikimaru!" Angela couldn't contain her laughter at Genji's story, nearly tripping over a pebble over how hard she was laughing,
Angie's laughter sounded like a sweet song to the two Shimada brothers. Even though Hanzo tried his best to brush it off, his face turned an ever so light pink. His brother, on the other hand, had a face redder than a tomato. "It wasn't that funny…" Hanzo grumbled, hoping that would hide his blush. Angie's laugher died down as they came closer to the arcade. "Guys, I'm not sure if I can play at the arcade. I'm not that good with video games." Genji flashed her his trademarked goofy smile. "Don't be silly, Angie! Even if you aren't good, I can teach you! A gorgeous woman like yourself shouldn't be worried about such little things." Angie smiled uncomfortably, realizing Genji was flirting with her. "Ah, thank you…" Genji opened the door to the arcade. "After you!"
The arcade overwhelmed Angela with the neon lights and vending machines everywhere. Genji ran over to a quarter dispenser, putting in a $20 dollar bill. A bunch of quarters rushed out of the machine, Genji frantically trying to catch every one. Angie let out a quiet giggle, seeing the boy struggling to catch all the quarters. Hanzo, who was standing next to her, rolled his eyes and headed towards his brother, picking up the remaining quarters on the floor. "Alright! Let's play! We'll start off with a game called Space Invaders! It's really fun!" Genji ran towards a free machine, Hanzo and Angie following after him. Genji pulled on Angie's arm lightly, implying he wanted her to stand in front of the machine. She did as Genji wanted, but her hands were uncontrollably shaking. "Genji, I really don't know if I should-" Genji said nothing, but he stood behind her, his hands completely covering her's. "I told you, I'm going to help you…" He whispered lightly in her ear. Genji guided her hands, while Angie tried to focus on the game and trying to ignore how uncomfortable she was at this kind of closeness. Hanzo just rolled his eyes and sat near a ping pong machine, glaring at them. "You need to relax your arms…" Genji slid his hands up her arms, lightly pushing her arms down. His hands slowly slid up to her shoulders. Angela started to sweat. She never liked sexual advances, even from Jesse. A loud noise suddenly took her out of her trance. DEFEAT was in bold red letters on the screen. "I guess we need to try again." Genji let go on her shoulders, to take another coin from his pocket. "A-Ah! I need to use the bathroom! I'll be right back!" Genji smiled and nodded. Angela rushed over to the back of the establishment, and into the bathroom. Her heart was racing, while she was reapplying her coat of lipstick which came off. "I really need to relax. If I want information, I need to deal with his…advances appropriately." She smoothed out her dress and readjusted her dress straps. She took a quick moment to breathe and exited the bathroom.
The arcade was loud and full of people on machines. She returned to where Genji and Hanzo were, but neither was to be found. Angela looked everywhere, slightly panicking at the idea of being lost in an unfamiliar place when a rough hand tugged her to a nearby seat. Hanzo let her go and looked away from her. Angie smiled sweetly at seeing a face she recognized, but her smile soon faded at seeing his facial expression. "Why did you come?!" Hanzo turned to her, his eyes blazing with anger. "He could've been training instead of fooling around!" Angie looked startled, her eyes not meeting his. "I'm sorry. I wanted to come. I thought it'll be fun. You need to calm down." Hanzo growled in frustration, then relaxed. He shouldn't be yelling at a woman in a public area. Hanzo's shoulders slumped, and he looked suddenly defeated. "…You know, Genji and I played ping pong here all the time when we were younger…" Angela looked up, confused to why Hanzo was telling her this. "I started pushing him three years ago. He needs to stop fooling around. If he doesn't, our elders might have to…to eliminate him." Hanzo's fists balled up, and his jaw clenched. "That's why I'm so angry at you. All these women run up to my brother, trying to flirt with him. My brother doesn't care. He plays them like a fiddle. You literally met him yesterday, yet he treats you like you knew each other for years. He'll have sex with you, then throw you away for another woman. You couldn't resist him. You women are all the same. Soon, because of you, my brother will die. All my efforts to keep him safe would be in vain." Angie's face relaxed, and she placed her hand on Hanzo's shoulder. Hanzo seemed surprised and tensed up, but he didn't make an effort to remove her hand. "Hanzo…I know you think I'm bad, but I assure you, I didn't come to have sex with your brother. I came to experience Japan and all its wonders. And, honestly, I came for you. You were the only sensible gentleman at the bar yesterday. I wanted to know more about you…" Hanzo's eyes widened, and he quickly stood up. "Genji decided a few minutes was too long of a wait, so he went off to flirt with another woman." Hanzo pointed to a far off claw machine, where Genji was using the same technique he used on Angie on a brunette to help her get a pachimari plush. Angie rolled her eyes, silently thankful that woman wasn't her. She looked back at Hanzo, realizing he was gone. She frantically turned around her fear of being abandoned sparking again. She took a deep breath, seeing Hanzo was only a few machines away, playing a Pac Man. Angie walked next to him, observing his every move on the game. "You're pretty good."
Hanzo's hands danced, one hand pressing the "fire" button, while the other jerked the joystick around. "I've had a lot of practice. When I had more freedom, I used to come here with Genji. Sometimes, he would flirt with girls. I have no interest in women, so I practiced on the games here." Hanzo talked to her without looking at her. His character got hit by a ghost. "Kuso." Hanzo hissed. He glanced back at Angie, her shimmery hair falling over her shoulders as she looked in awe at his score. "Wow! You're amazing! Can you…teach me..? As long as you don't teach like your brother does." Hanzo let out a light chuckle at that comment, making the young woman's face turn a light red. "We might be here a while, so why not…?" He beckoned Angie to his seat, while he sat in another seat nearby.
Another two hours of playing, Angie was already the 5th best on the leaderboard. "Wow! I couldn't have even improved that much in two hours!" Now it was Hanzo's turn to awe at Angie's scores, intrigued at her skill. "I couldn't have done it without you!" Angie smiled a satisfying grin, typing her name in the leaderboard. She felt so accomplished, even if it was just making the leaderboard of a game. Just to think she was afraid of these machines. She heard footsteps behind her, Hanzo and Angie turning to see Genji, who looked kinda worn out. "Sorry about the wait guys. That brunette was no virgin, alright." Hanzo looked sympathetically at Angie and turned to his brother in anger. "Genji! How can you say that in front of your so called 'date?'" Genji's face turned red. "S-Sorry…Hey! Wait a minute! You said you hated Angie! Why are you defending her?!"
"I learned that she isn't like those whores you spend time with." Hanzo glared at his brother, daring him to challenge him.
Angela felt uncomfortable being in the middle of this conversation, and Hanzo realized this. "I'm sorry Angie, Genji does this often. Don't feel that bad." He tried his best to give her a smile, which he wasn't good at. It looked more like an uncomfortable, awkward grin. Genji laughed. "No wonder girls don't like you! You call them whores in their faces, then you give them that smile!? I won't even call that a smile! It's more like a scowl!" Angie giggled. "I think it looks cute!" Genji immediately stopped laughing, and Hanzo gave him a smug grin. "Today was better than expected, but you still promised me that you'll come to training tomorrow." Genji's let out an annoyed sigh. "Fine, a deal's a deal." He turned to Angela. "Hey, Angie! I know today's meeting didn't go according to plan, but did you want to come see me train in my home tomorrow?" Angie looked over to Hanzo, and instead of glaring at her and looking away, his face showed no emotions. No happiness, anger, or anything. Angie turned back to Genji. "Alright." Genji gave her a goofy smile and picked his up. "Thank you, Angie! You won't regret it! See you tomorrow!" They all exited the arcade, Genji and Hanzo walking around the corner from the arcade. Angela watched them go, Hanzo giving her eye contact. Something flickered, but she didn't know if it was good or bad.
