Lúcio shifted against the warmth squished against his side, pressing closer to the soft heat. He wanted to slip back under the gentle waves of sleep that had pulled him under, he felt comfortable and safe. It was a strange yet welcoming feeling with the occupations of his lifestyle. Yawning Lúcio shifted again in a faint stretch and let his eyes blink open fluttering rapidly to adjust to the sudden influx of light.

Lúcio stared at his surroundings for a moment; lost as to where he was. It came back to him slowly as if he was still waking from a dream, he had visited the spare lab he knew the Junkers had claimed, worry still gnawing at him about Junkrat's injuries.

He had entered, and helped heal Junkrat's wounds, laughing with the energetic man who kind of reminded Lúcio of a puppy. Boundless energy, eyes like living fire, a bright smile that beckoned and pulled like a magnet, the heavy smell of gunpowder and metal that coated the whole lab. Something about the way Junkrat talked or acted just pulled Lúcio in; maybe it was the freedom in every aspect of his being, reminding him of home and the revolution. Roadhog had been a presence there all along like a soothing balm, easing Lúcio's nerves and helping him settle. All he knew is that he had wanted to spend more time with the Junkers, hear more of whatever inane ramblings Junkrat carried and to listen to Roadhog's music.

So, he had accepted the invitation for a seat, and they had talked about explosions and their power, music and it's inspiration in his life. They had laughed at the jokes Junkrat pulled that were so random and over the top that they left Lúcio breathless. It had honestly been what the musician had needed after one too many stressful missions, and the crash courses on healing Mercy had been giving him.

Eventually Lúcio had drifted over to Roadhog, leaving Junkrat to his tinkering and mumbling. The large man had been settled on the huge lumpy tan orange couch (it was a monstrosity if he had ever seen one), the giant had looked up and tilted his head in welcome, book perched on his lap.

Lúcio had settled onto the couch and promptly sunk like quick sand into the lumpy cushions, but it was comfy in a way that screamed home. Lúcio had been content to listen to the music Roadhog had played; all classical, and man he had just loved that, the way it just captured one's soul. It had been serene to sit there beside the man, bask in the music and just deflate in a way that hanging with Hana would never manage (mainly because they were often too busy yelling at her computer screen, or gossiping).

Eventually, after darting his eyes enough times at the book cover hidden by one of Roadhog's large hands, Lúcio had asked after the name of the book. Roadhog had stared at him for a minute before lifting his finger to reveal a textbook on modern warfare. After a hesitant moment Lúcio had questioned the man about the book, receiving vague grunts and nods that somehow conveyed a sense of agreement or disagreement.

Roadhog hadn't seemed annoyed by the attention, and it was nice to talk to the man and receive a few noncommittal answers in return. Even if it seemed like he wasn't listening underneath the mask, Lúcio was certain he was if only because Roadhog seemed a lot deeper than the mute and dumb persona he liked to project. Lúcio had summarized it was the same way with both Junkers, appearances could most certainly be deceiving, Lúcio knew that well.

Before Lúcio had known it, the weight of his eyelids had become heavy with wear and so he had let them slide shut, not really thinking about falling asleep just resting his eyes. But the calming waves of music had rocked him into content drowsiness. The last thing he remembered was the warm sensations of the body on the couch next to him and a fading sonata. He must have fallen asleep some time after that, just drifting on drowsy currents.

Looking around Lúcio spotted Roadhog who he was pressed against head formerly resting on the man's large bicep, the same book from earlier was held between his fingers though it looked miniature in scale to his large hands. Junkrat was still tinkering away at the desk, bangs, and other various noises emitting from the workshop along with a few mad cackles here and there. Lúcio doubted the Rat had barely moved since the musician had drifted over to the couch, he seemed the man to be drawn into his work.

Sometimes Lúcio got like that, when the inspiration really struck him hard, like a lightning bolt. And nothing else mattered after that; just finishing the piece, pouring his soul and all the ideas into the creation before him.

Roadhog shifted and looked down at Lúcio who was still blinking a bit blearily trying to clear the sleep from his eyes, and the wandering thoughts from his mind with little success. With a soft non-invasive push of Roadhog's large hand that was all gentle and supporting Lúcio was sitting upright once more. Yawning again he stretched his arms over his head, feeling relief at the small pops and crack, he let his gaze seek out a clock somewhere in the room.

Eventually his gaze landed on a manual clock, half-cocked open with the inner mechanisms ticking away for all the world to see. He furrowed his brow wondering if the time on the face of the clock was correct, he shot a quick questioning glance Roadhog's way. The beast of a man was still looking at Lúcio and followed his gaze before he nodded, Lúcio smiled in thanks letting the warmth of the gesture shine in the corners of his lips.

Then he considered what the time actually was and he breathed out in surprise, eyes a touch wide. He hadn't meant to stay for so long and so late into the evening, then again, he hadn't meant to fall asleep either. But Lúcio honestly couldn't feel too upset about it, he hadn't planned much for his afternoon in any case, he had wanted to work on his music but that had been more of a chore.

He loved creating music, loved it from the depth of his soul, never wanting to stop. But his manager was a fan of deadlines, certain quality to his music, and the like, all so Lúcio could maintain his fame. Personally, he wasn't a fan of it; it was a draining practice that left him staring at the screen of his computer for hours trying to bring out a single note.

He was still debating keeping the man as his manager, though it wouldn't dissuade the record company he was labelled to, and their deadlines. Perhaps he could go independent again? That had been so much easier, pick a venue, play and create what he wanted.

He had never been in it for the money. It had always been that love of music, sound, noises, emotions, that flooded his veins, spiked in his head and thoughts, drummed through his fingers, chased his words. And when that had turned to revolution and fame, he had let it because helping people, that was something he could live for, especially when it was through his music.

Lúcio often felt astounded when he received comments or fan letters or the like, stating how his music had saved their lives. These were people on a completely different continent but his music had still made a difference.

Which reminded him of Hana, and the fact that he had somewhere he needed to be. It was game night and heaven forbid he missed one of their nights for any reason. Lúcio thought of the tall gamer (and no he was most certainly not bitter about his height, he had accepted his place as short well enough), with a fond smile as he pulled himself from the quicksand couch and into a standing position. He swayed a bit on his feet before regaining his gravity.

Lúcio took a last long look at the lab the Junkers had taken over, it was homey in a strange sense, with all it's clutter and explosive devices, but Lúcio could feel the spirit of the place the two brought with them, and that was what counted in the end.

Turning to Roadhog, the musician smiled a touch, sad at having to leave and said, "I've got to go, it was nice hanging with the both of you. Can you tell Junkrat I said goodbye? I don't want to disturb his work."

His words were sincere, eyes as honest as he could muster. Briefly his gaze darted over to the table where Junkrat was happily cackling and banging at an unforeseen object, sparks flying from the workstation. Glancing back at Roadhog he noticed the man slowly incline his head in an answer. Lúcio got the vague impression that under the mask Roadhog was smiling, the thought brought an akin expression to his own lips and with a small wave goodbye he skated towards the doorway.

Stopping under the archway Lúcio pivoted into a half turn flashing a last wave and a smile before he entered the chilly hallways that permeated the Overwatch base. He had no idea why they were kept so cold, perhaps upon Soldier 76's request? Or Mei's? Though he doubted anyone would be willing to plunge the base into subzero temperatures like the ice woman sometimes seemed to want.

Casting a last look at their base of operations, he vowed to visit again. If the others wouldn't take the step forward to talk to the estranged Junkers then Lúcio would be happy to in their place. He couldn't really blame the other members though.

On the outside the Junkers appeared exactly how they were, crude, gory, and a touch insane. But when Lúcio considered their situation he could understand why, and respect them for how they were. Sure, they had been criminals before being inducted, but they weren't out there to kill for fun. Maybe that was a thin distinction but it was enough for Lúcio.

It was funny how sometimes the others forgot that he had been born and raised in Brazil, and sure it was a great county (he was very proud thank you). But things had happened even before Vishkar corporations, and he hadn't grown up in the richest neighbourhood.

Shaking away despairing thoughts, Lúcio pulled out his earbuds and attached one, plugging in the music and letting his swirling thoughts settle and calm as he skated towards Hana's room. Thoughts toeing the line, wondering what games they would play.

Eventually he arrived at the door, a touch colder then he liked, blasted with stickers, and panels depicting gamer logos and a poster of Hana, mech suit and all in a daring pose with explosives in the background. Smiling fondly just looking at the door, Lúcio raised his hand to knock just as the door flung open revealing the Korean gamer.

They both blinked in partial and faint shock, Lúcio's hand gently falling to his side before with a huff of laughter he began giggling, Hana happily joined in between a moment and the next; eyes bright as her computer screen as she hunched over panting for breath, cheeks red and rosy accompanied by her familiar pink stripes.

As she straightened Lúcio could see evidence of her recent gaming stream (or binge depending on the game), there was Dorito dust around her mouth and he was almost certain he could spot a few stains that looked suspiciously like a certain energy drink. He had no doubt that behind her, surrounding her bed and likely on it was a veritable fortress of chip bags, and empty bottles.

Her hair was twisted into a messy bun on top of her head, with a pout her hands settled on her hips gaze looking down on Lúcio even when she probably didn't mean to. The expression was gone with a huff and a roll of her eyes as she stated, "Jeez Lúcio way to scare a girl. I was just on my way to check where you were… that and restock on the snacks."

Hana admitted with a bright and cheery grin totally unashamed and teasing. Lúcio raised an eyebrow in disbelief, knowing it would likely have been another hour before Hana even thought to pull herself from the virtual world and realise that no, Lúcio was not there beside her.

Hana just shrugged with a grin at the disbelieving look, all innocent and smug, Lúcio shook his head in fond amusement. A small question beaded the forefront of his mind and he asked, "Have you already blown through all your supplies? Even the stuff Abuela gave you?"

Hana had the decency to look a touch embarrassed, running a hand through her messy bun with a half-cocked smile. All things considered it was a relatively normal thing for Hana to blow through snacks when gaming, she just adapted a single-minded focus that sometimes ventured into eating, though he was almost certain that this was a new record.

"Well are you going to come to the kitchen with me ?"

Hana asked instead of answered, with a short laugh and a giggle hands planted on her hips stance wide in the narrow door frame. Raising his arms over his head in a flex position he sometimes saw Zarya or Reinhart emulate he responded in a voice that was a whispering boom, "But of course! We must always recharge and maintain our strength!"

They maintained a deadpan expression of seriousness for all of a minute before they were howling with laughter, attempting to be quiet in the hallways even as the noise bounded and echoed along the endless corridors.

Eventually they stifled their laughter to small giggles and Hana spared the thought to temporarily pull him inside and shut the door before they could wake any of the base's other occupants. They shared one look before they were laughing again. Lúcio's stomach and chest ached, and his lips and jaw hurt from smiling so much but it was a good kind of pain even as the musician struggled for breath. Taking a few deep breaths Lúcio resisted the urge to look at Hana, knowing that if he did so they would likely never stop laughing.

After finally attaining a semblance of control, the room filled only with their ragged breathing Lúcio looked up eyes bright as the stars and a wide grin curling his lips. A mirroring expression rested on Hana's daintier features, sated and blissed out, even as she shook her head and opened the door again.

She glanced from side to side head sticking out of the door, before she nodded and crept out like a spy gesturing for Lúcio to follow her. He gently let the door slide shut behind him as he crept after Hana, rolling along at a slow gliding place that was relatively silent as they made their way to the kitchen.

Eventually they arrived at the large kitchen, and the adjourning dining room, that had somehow managed to fit roughly twenty seats around a table so that they could all eat together (of course that was a near impossible thing). Lúcio shook his head thinking of the many already strange dinners, and the wide variety of food that was served. Reinhart's food had been to die for, Angela on the hand, without guidance was a disaster waiting to happen.

As they approached they heard muffled whispers and the shuffle of clothing, there was a faint hint of gunpowder and smoke in the air, and it was a smell that Lúcio had come to associate with Mcree. Sure, enough if he listened attentively he could hear the man's favoured southern drawl, accompanied by a low sharp voice.

At the entryway still pivoting in darkness, Hana turned back, rolled her eyes and mouthed, "Gay dads"

Lúcio raised a hand to cover his mouth hiding his laughter, lest he make any noise and disturb the two. He knew who the others man was, of course it could only be Hanzo, who else could he have expected. It was no secret to the rest of the base that they were meeting in the kitchen at night, and that they both were infatuated with each other but far too damn stubborn to act on it.

One of their gaming sessions with Genji had been filled with the younger brother's complaints about the oldest, and for once it was about Hanzo's obliviousness, as supposed to his occasional remarks about a lack of heart, or strange bewilderment about the older brother he was re-acquainting himself with.

After a minute where Lúcio was sure Hana was debating flicking on the light and demanding food anyway (as she had done before and would likely do again) the voices that had been moderately loud dimmed accompanied by the distancing sound of footsteps.

Hana's grin glowed in the darkness as she darted in with a flick of the bright kitchen lights. Lúcio shielded his eyes for a moment as he waited for his sight to adjust even as Hana clambered up the counter, and shimmied towards one of the locked cabinets.

The so-called parents of the team had deemed it a wise idea to lock up a cabinet. Inside were various foods that were either the lifeblood of some members and hence kept in case of dire emergencies, or food that should not be eaten in excessive quality by certain members, like Lúcio's favourite gamer.

Lúcio had been dead surprised the first time Hana had pulled out the certain manoeuvre she was using now to recover (steal) the food and all that it entailed. Now it was a fun pastime to watch, always imagining what Soldier 76 would say if he caught Hana in the act, he would probably be dumbstruck for a few moments before pulling out the dad attitude (or as Hana joked the dadittude).

With a triumphant crow, the cabinet popped open and she raided it pulling out bags of chips and tossing them to Lúcio who caught them with a shake of his head and a fond sigh. The things he did for Hana, or helped her do which could often be more fun. The Korean gamer was fan of pranks, harmless for the most part, but great at devising them. Lúcio was just happy to help her set them up and listen to the laughter they incurred.

She swung down from the counter with a grace that echoed some childhood acrobatics, because being a gamer did not equate to grace. She struck a pose arms raised above her head with a cocky smirk sent the Dj's way. He laughed loud and full, at the reminder of the earlier session of muscle flexing.

Popping a bubble from the gum she was near constantly chewing, Hana turned determined eyes towards the fridge, which seemed to glow in an ethereal light in the early night. With a sharp shove, the door was open and Hana was rooting through the shelves, pushing aside Tupperware containers and bottles, looting the fridge of all it's Mountain Dew. Pulling herself from the deep void of the fridge with arms loaded with drinks Hana enacted a salute juggling the cans and bottles wildly even as she pointed the two onwards.

Lúcio left the kitchen knees high, arms swinging, a smile curving his lips. Hana's laughter echoed behind him, he liked her laughter it was like dew in the mornings, or an arcade all fast and energetic. They marched onwards back in the direction of the gamer's domain juggling their various pilfered snacks.

They settled into Hana's room with faint giggles, splaying their nightly snacks over every available surface that they wouldn't eventually occupy (really it was more of a mountain centered on the gamer's hot pink bed sheets). Hana had already torn open a chip bag the second Lúcio had looked away; the moment he could return his gaze he saw a quarter of the bag had invested it's life in her stomach and around her mouth.

Hana settled the bag beside her momentarily and gestured impatiently for Lúcio to join her on the floor where the gaming system and computer screen was resting, consoles carelessly stretched out before it. The screen was already lit up, eerie in the low light of Hana's room, it flashed relentlessly and asked for a disc. Laughing under his breath at the familiar picture Lúcio skated over and settled beside her, cuddling up to her side with a playful shove; digging his hand into the chip bag with the trademark overbearing crinkle as she tossed him a bottle of soda.

The musician glanced at the screen in interest, wondering what was on the game menu for the evening, one could never know if it would be some silly fashion game (as on a few rare occasions she had pulled out), or the more favoured heavy-duty combat games. Which could be anything from a combat based game, like the certain zombie one Hana liked, or the more story central games.

Hana sensing his curiosity turned and smirked before she wiped her hands off on her bunny patterned pyjamas, winked and chuckled over three-disc cases. The games' art was emblazoned on their respective covers, in bright flashy colours, and over the top logos. Lúcio looked at the covers with a grin and a few darting looks at Hana before he said, "Man good choice Hans."

The Korean gamer made a vague noise that sounded something sarcastic, because of course she would have made good choices. And really what else could Lúcio expect of the pro, she was one of the world's number one gamers, and the fact still stunned him at times. Once in a while he had to take a step back and realize where he was again, and who he was talking to. This wasn't some community get together over the weekends. It was Overwatch.

The famous organization that had assembled to combat the Omnic crisis, and had thereafter been disbanded. The re-call had brought old members and new to create a new Overwatch; members who possessed amazing technology, skills, or something else entirely.

Meeting Hana had been a boon. When he had first arrived, he had felt a bit lost, drifting amongst a crowd of new people and an unfamiliar space. His bright personality had won over everyone eventually, but for the first week had been a quiet sort of torture. When he had found out that Hana Song pro-gamer was a member, he had been stunned (and a slight bit ecstatic, he was a bit of a fan). But they had been the only two near the same age, and eventually they had mustered enough courage to spare the passing corridor pleasantries and talk.

They had clicked near immediately once they had stopped with the shyness, talking a mile a minute about the latest technology and it's effects on their main industries. They had shared tips and tricks from gaming to music, laughed and joked as if they weren't two members of an illegal organization. After that it had been relatively smooth sailing with the aid of the Korean gamer.

"Course, I'm a pro selector! Hand me the purple case please Lúc."

Hana exclaimed with a wide sweep of her arms that had Lúcio ducking for cover and swerving out of the disaster zone (sometimes Hana was a touch over enthusiastic in her movement). Following the gamer's request, he scoured the growing piles of cd's and cases that flocked his legs before he pulled out the desired case and handed it to her.

Within a few seconds the game was loaded and a console had been thrust into his hands with a giggle. The screen lit up with the menu, revealing a decaying human; Hana sped through the menu till they were entered in a battle, heedless of Lúcio's faint protests. They started the game with running commentary for fun (Hana had decided against streaming), criticizing clothing choice, real world physics, and the realism of the zombies.

They were Just deflating and being who they were around the other, after a long day of missions and the real world. They played the game with relative ease, chatting about inane things, Hana's top games list, and his next album. It lifted a weight he hadn't known he had been feeling, taken the edge off of the day and left a soft easy smile resting on his lips.

In the game, his character ducked behind a barrel and crouched next to Hana's character. The musician had a good vantage point of the incoming mob of shuffling corpses. Hana was mumbling under her breath in a light game mode, occasionally analyzing the playing field and choosing the best course of action. She wasn't the best for nothing, even when she was chilling she was decimating the playing field.

Lúcio remembered well the first time he had sat down to game with Hana, it had been utterly devastating if not a touch inspiring to see how easily she wielded the console. The first few months had been tendered under her careful tutelage until he could roughly play near her level, even though it was with no small amount of difficulty.

Eventually the round drew to a violent and bloody end; the horde of zombies temporarily driven back. Hana set the controller down for a minute waiting to restart the next round; turned serious eyes his way, her hands settled on her hips, hair falling in waves around her head casting her like a Valkyrie. She raised her brow and said in a voice that was all demand and gossip, "Okay talk, you're quiet tonight."

Had he been? Lúcio shrugged thinking about it even as Hana bounced to her feet and pounced on the remaining snack pile, content to give the DJ sometime to think about it and the answer to such a question. She returned after a few moments, where Lúcio attempted to puzzle out the reason for his mood, accompanied by the clink of glass against glass.

She settled with a dramatic sound effect and a bit of swaying before she cheerily set the polish before her. Lúcio didn't know when he had finally accepted her offer of the paint job for his nails, he had always been happy to help the gamer when she asked for aid in applying the paint to her hands. But he hadn't really considered putting it on his own fingernails, not until she had pulled out a shade of green that was just like the one his mother wore in the summer, or like the colour of a frog.

Now it was almost like a habit, she called them 'self-care' sessions or something of the like and Lúcio could kind of see it. They sat and cared for their bodies a bit even in a small way, it was healing. Though he wasn't letting her touch his hair, it wasn't easy to achieve and maintain the perfect look he managed to whip up most mornings.

A poke to his cheek pulled him from his thoughts and Lúcio raised his eyebrows at the expectant face peering at him, noses an inch apart. Lúcio playfully pushed Hana back, but decided to taunt the woman and remained quiet lips sealed as he imitated zipping his mouth shut and tossing an invisible key.

Hana pouted and playfully kept poking his cheeks, when it garnered no further answer her pokes dropped to his sides, tracing over the sensitive skin there. Lúcio muffled his laughter into his hand as her fingers danced over his ticklish side again; once she found out about his ticklishness, she had made sure to take full advantage of it.

Randomly she bolted forward tackling him to the ground and pinning him there with her hips as her hands roved up his sides and chased his neck. Lúcio tried to squirm out of her grip, biting his lip to hold in the laughter. Eventually it became too much and bright iridescent laughter burst out from his lungs in heaving gasps and chuckles as he weakly struggled against her in a half-hearted manner.

Of course, two could play at the same game when Hana was also ticklish. Twisting he snaked his arms up to hook under her armpits and began tickling the gamer sitting on his chest, she rolled off instantly wiggling like an animal. Lúcio turned on his side and continued to tickle her bringing forth soft happy laughter and glowing eyes. The laughter that rounded throughout the room they were in when he attacked was wild and free, fall, and burning leaves.

Hana flipped the tables once more tickling his toes and stealing the breath from Lúcio's lungs with the increasing intensity of her attacks. Eventually Lúcio seceded calling out white flag until Hana's devious and tricky hands retreated and she slumped to lean up against Lúcio energy pooling in her shifting form.

Together they laid there on the floor staring at the ceiling in quiet contemplation and serenity as they came down from the rich laughter, and recovered their breaths. Hana shifted a half twitch so that she could face Lúcio, and the DJ mirrored the action staring into warm caramel orbs.

"So, you going to tell me what's up? Or do I have to tickle you again?"

Hana asked with a wide grin all teeth and curiosity. Lúcio sighed and tapped his fingers against his thigh as he considered the question; it wasn't like they hadn't had real talks before; he supposed he could just relate his day, and maybe she could make heads or tails of the chaos.

Hana shuffled forwards and dragged the small pouch of nail polish with her, setting it in between the two and spreading out the colours so that Lúcio (as well as Hana) could see the wide variety offered. Lúcio studied the choices eyes landing on a burnt colour that reminded him of Junkrat's eyes, and another black like soot that made him think of Roadhog. Eventually his eyes drifted to his favourite colour, and the many shades of green Hana had stocked up on when he finally consented to the polish.

Picking one out he handed it to her, and dutifully held out his left hand when she poked his cheek again. He could feel her staring, eyes drilling into his skull and with a resolute sigh he looked up and answered, "Alright fine I'll spill, nosy bunny. You know the Junkers yeah?" Hana nodded expression bright with interest and Lúcio continued, "Well after the incident,"

"Oh yeah the 'incident' you were like completely badass scary Luc," Hana chirped and Lúcio gave her a bland smile and pointed eyebrows before he continued, "- in the lobby I went to check to make sure they were okay."

"Of course, you did."

Hana chimed in with a grin, continuing to deftly apply the shiny polish to his nails. Lúcio rolled his eyes at the comment; Hana liked to insist that Lúcio was too soft, he resented the sentiment but also had no basis against it. At least considering how he helped old ladies cross the street in his spare time according to Hana (it was one time).

"Anyways, so I went to their part of the base, the old omnic labs. And well I helped heal Junkrat and then just chilled?"

Lúcio finished with a shrug. Hana pinned Lúcio down with an intense stare, and the musician could just see the veritable storm of questions building behind her gaze. Lúcio obediently gave Hana his other hand when she was finished with his left and leant back on his other palm carefully with the wet paint.

"Junkrat's the skinny one, right?"

Hana asked for clarification, Lúcio nodded and she grinned. Curious himself he questioned the gamer, "Have you met the two before?"

The gamer pursed her lips in a faint pout, shook her in the negative, paused and then nodded and replied, "Kind of, we met once with the official interactions. But we've chatted a few times when they were out in the early hours of the morning."

Lúcio grinned at the thought of Hana sneaking around and encountering the two giants. Those keen eyes landed on Lúcio again seeming to see something Lúcio wasn't even aware of, and she asked, "So you were just chilling? What did you think of the two?"

"We were just chilling," Lúcio interjected with a defensive squawk to Hana's amusement, he continued with a soft glare her way, "Honestly, Junkrat and I just talked about his bombs and my music, and then I went and sat with Roadhog. They're pretty cool, Roadhog's really quiet and calm, and he likes classical music, which is really cool. Junkrat's… well explosive? Just you know crazy? But in a good way."

Hana laughed and sent him a wink at Lúcio's description of the two Junkers and his struggle to describe Junkrat, because honestly the smaller Junker was a miasma of things. Still Hana seemed pleased by Lúcio's words, as she handed him a bright pink polish, accompanied by a bottle of black polish. He raised his eyebrows in question and he carefully showed him how she wanted it down as they quieted for a few.

After he started on her right hand, Hana began grinning, eyes darting around she leaned closer in a conspiratorial manner and said in a low whisper, "Did you know Junkrat's the same age as us?"

"What really? I would have thought he was older?"

Lúcio responded with wide eyes, as he snatched back Hana's hand from where it had been drifting away. Attempting to paint Hana's nails was always a struggle. She grinned and nodded excitedly as if sharing the most daring information in the world.

Lúcio studied the gamer with a sceptical look and leaned back on the palms of his hands for a moment and asked, "How do you even know that?"

Hana puffed up, tilting her heads upwards as if to display her superiority, before she slouched and shot him a teasing smirk. Lúcio sunk into himself with a pout directed towards Hana and whined out her name knowing she was being unfair.

The gamer giggled, but relented as she returned her hand to his seeking grip and said, "I hacked Athena's system."

"What how!?"

Lúcio jerked upright, eyes wide in astonishment. While Hana was an excellent gamer she was most certainly not a hacker capable of breaking into Athena's systems (she could hack cheat codes and the like, and even smaller things. He had witnessed it before).

Hana shook her head in amusement and reached behind her to pull out her phone and typed away with one hand as he finished the other coat of polish. After a minute, she turned the phone towards him, on the illuminated screen was a video, and staring out at him was a pretty familiar wicked face.

"You learned from Sombra?!"

Lúcio questioned a touch hysterically, wondering if Talon had somehow lured over his favourite pro-gamer; perhaps with the enticing promise of unlimited Doritos. Hana laughed at his be speckled expression and shook her head before responding, "Relax, it's just an online video she posted of how to hack things… surprisingly she has a whole blog about it. Regardless don't worry, it only worked cause I live here."

The tension in the DJ's shoulder vanished, and with a relieved sigh Lúcio deflated and regarded Hana with an exasperated stare. She just pet Lúcio on the shoulder in a semi-comforting gesture eyes wicked from where they peered out at him.

"Still he's the same age as us, we should totally get him to play videogames with us."

Hana stated in a serious manner, stern as an elementary teacher, before she started cracking up at her acting. Lúcio had to fight to stop her from messing up the nail polish even as he joined in on the laughter.

"I doubt Junkrat even knows how to play videogames Hans."

Lúcio said after they had settled from their laughter. She whipped around to stare at him, and flashed him a sickly-sweet smile before responding, "Neither did you."

"Oh, burned better get me some ice, buns."

Lúcio responded after grimacing and staring offended for a minute. Hana laughed at the sass and dry sarcasm in Lúcio's response even as Lúcio finally sealed up the polish and she took her hands back to carefully air dry the wet paint.

"We can always teach him.

Hana responded idly as she studied the paint job, before flashing Lúcio a pleased and impressed smile. Lúcio nodded at the idea, a mirroring grin of his own settling onto his features. It would be nice to hang out with the younger Junker, and Hana at the same time. Though he felt a shiver of trepidation at the thought of the two of them together.

The female gamer smacked his shoulder with a grin, and mouthed, "Don't worry" even as she dragged him back to the consoles and tossed him a bag of chips. Her hand was already invested in the contents of her own bag.

A new game loaded up as they traded quips about the game, and Hana grilled Lúcio on information about the Junkers' workshop and what he had done while there. In return Lúcio asked after afternoon, listening idly as she described bugging Jessie and following Angela around. He settled back with a grin as the game started, Hana grinning excitedly. It would be a long night, but a good one.

*Note I used the Spanish term for Grandma which is Abuela when talking about Ana, I feel like Jessie probably taught Hana the term/name and it stuck.

Well I hope you all enjoyed this chapter from Lúcio's perspective. It was fun getting into his mindset, and playing with the interactions between the DJ and Hana. I don't know when next I'll update but I'll try to get it written soon. Thank you for reading, reviews/comments are always appreciated!
