Mercy was gathering up her materials to bring with her, Genji had advised the blonde that she stay hidden for the time being until they found the culprit responsible for coming after her. Genji figured that the most dangerous place for her would be the places she thought were safest. Mercy's home and lab were off limits, for the meantime Genji offered to watch over her and she stay with him at his apartment; that this was a way to say thank you for saving him.

Being the naive girl Mercy was she had no reasons to deny and agreed to Genji's proposal. Besides she still wanted to monitor Genji's growth and what was occurring to his body would still be viable research to the doctor.

"We can take my car." Mercy suggested.

"No these people looked serious, they probably placed a tracking device on your car."

"Are you serious? They wouldn't try to go that far."

Genji gave a dumbfound look,"they just tried to kidnap you Mercy, I think these people would do anything in their power to get ahold of you."

"Still… are you even in any shape to go running around?"

"I'm fine Mercy, a ninja has a strong will power, and whatever you did to me… it's enhancing my abilities."

"Oh all right." Mercy frowned,"but I'm not going to like it."

Genji rolled his eyes,"you don't have to like it, you just have to do what I say."

Mercy sighed and decided to leave it at that. Genji pulled Mercy along, they left the building through the back way. Genji stopped midway at a store in front of the hospital and bought a pair of sunglasses and hats for the two.

"Don't you think this is going too far, it's rather ridiculous." Mercy complained, but Genji wasn't having it and forced the sunglass and hat onto the blonde.

"Your safety is priority, besides you look cute." Genji smirked, and headed on his way. Mercy trailed behind him following his footsteps; she was blushing mad. She was happy he was in-front of her, so he couldn't see how red she was getting.

"My ears are burning I'm so red..." Mercy mumbled to herself, which made Genji turn around and look at her.

"Why are you so red, are you hot?" Genji asked placing the back of his hand to her forehead to feel her temperature. "You are rather hot, are you feeling okay?" This only made Mercy turn a deeper crimson red, which resulted in smacking Genji's hand away and turning from him so he couldn't look at her.

"I just get hot easily, I-I'm fine." Mercy stuttered.

"If you say so… Well were going to take the bus, it shouldn't be too far, come on." Genji smiled, and Mercy followed behind him until they had reached the bus stop.

"I don't own a bus pass."

"That's okay, I do actually, at least you didn't steal from my wallet or phone or anything."

Mercy gaped her mouth,"I wouldn't steal from you!"

Genji laughed abruptly,"I know that was just a joke, calm down."

"Oh…"

"My phone died though, so I'll have to check my messages when I get home, my boss is probably going crazy were I went this whole time. I was going to quit this job anyways so it doesn't really matter."

Mercy just stared in awe at Genji, and she followed him along; the bus ride wasn't too long, perhaps thirty minutes of silent went by between the two. Genji had given Mercy the window seat and she couldn't help to stare out to the life in the streets. She always drove herself around she never got the chance to be the passenger so that in itself was a new experience for the blonde. She never got to admire the world around her, and she would never forget those thirty minutes in her life.

By the time the two had reached a run down area, the sun was settling.

"Is this where you live?" Mercy asked curiously.

"Sorry it's not as luxurious as you are use too." Genji chuckled thinking about the mansion and good area she probably lived in.

"That's not what I meant, I'm just saying that because my apartment isn't far from here."

"Wait… you don't live in a mansion or something."

"No not really… I mean I could if I wanted too, but I give half my paycheck to donations and I'm not the type of person that needs materialists things."

Genji smiled,"that fits you, keep your heart like that."

"Of course! I use to go overseas often to help treat patients that were fighting in the war."

"Are you sure you're twenty-four?"

Mercy giggled,"I think I know my own age, yeah!"

Genji shook his head, leading the two to his apartment, he messed with the lock and key for awhile before finally opening it,"sorry it gets stuck sometimes. The many perks for living in a low-costing apartment." Genji's chuckled awkwardly and led the blonde into the apartment. Which was a bit messy, seeing as how he was gone so long he hadn't had time to clean it. His mailed was piled on the floor, probably full of bills and spam.

"It's pretty… plain." Mercy stated, settling herself onto the couch and dropping her bag unto the floor; she had removed her hat and sunglasses as did Genji. "I like it, it seems like you though Genji."

"Uh… you can take the bed if you want, the couch actually pulls out… I can sleep on that."

Mercy smiled,"No… No I'm okay sleeping on the couch." Mercy got up and curiously went to the bedroom to investigate the rest of the apartment. "I want you to be comfortable in your own apartment after all… I'm still a stranger." Mercy laughed and sat on the bed staring up at Genji who was in the doorway to the bedroom. Genji smirked, and without a second thought pinned the helpless girl against the bed. His hands tighten around her frail wrists, hovering over her he didn't look away, staring her down as if she was his own personal plaything.

Mercy gulped sharply, she gazed up and without hesitation closed her eyes. Genji glared harshly and as much as he thought of taking advantage of her he couldn't bring himself to go through with it. Mercy had felt she laid there which seem to be endlessly, feeling his breath get closer with every second, but nothing happened and eventually she felt his grip against her wrist become lose until he was completely off her.

"Did you think something was going to happen… I just wanted to prove to you how helpless of a women you are Mercy. You can't fight against these kind of people. You can heal as many hurt people as you want, but it's pointless if you can't heal yourself."

Mercy became quiet listening to his painful words,"You're right… Genji…" Mercy head was now down to not dare look Genji in the eyes,"still… I would save a life over my life any day."

"Saying stuff like that will get you killed!" Genji roared.

Mercy raised her voice to meets Genji's tone,"If it means that someone else lives then of course I wouldn't mind dying!"

Genji groaned, he ruffed his messy black hair,"whatever I'm going to take a shower… am I allowed to do that at least?"

"For the past weeks you were only getting cloth baths, and before you ask, no… I wasn't the one doing that. I'm not sure let me look at your wounds." Genji huffed but sat next to the blonde still on the bed. He removed his shirt revealing his bandaged up chest. Carefully Mercy unraveled the slightly blood stained gauze. As she chipped away at the covering it had revealed the metal tissue and at first glance his body looked that of a normal human male torso.

"What the…" Mercy was in shock,"you… you have no scarring, your wound has completely healed." She removed the bandages from his upper arm and the same thing had applied. Genji was completely healed, but as she felt the texture of his skin in was hard and cold that of metal.

Genji looked to see for himself,"It looks so real… but I can feel it as cold as steel. The fake… Every time I breath I have a metallic taste."

"Really? That's not good… I'm still waiting for your blood samples to get back to me, so please take it easy."

Genji ignored her and headed into the bathroom, Mercy didn't see anything after that, just hearing the shower turn on. She was still worried about his mental look on the situation, and that he might be sadden about the fake parts of his body. Mercy headed for the bathroom door and knocked a couple of times, at first there was no response, but after a couple more knocks she heard the shower turn off.

"You don't have to say anything, but Genji… Your heart still beats that of a mans." There was no response, and after awhile Mercy had left the door to head to the couch. Genji had finally emerged from the bathroom when he was sure the blonde had left the room. He sighed deeply and felt his chest himself, he felt his strong heartbeat and smiled faintly. He dressed himself casually, and when he had walked into the living area Mercy was nowhere to be found.

"Mercy?" He asked worriedly. Genji frantically looked around the apartment. "Mercy!?" Mercy was long gone, she didn't feel it necessary to tell him that she had went to the store to go get some essentials for herself. Genji on the other hand took it as a threat and quickly left the apartment to look for her.

Genji looked for awhile, finally in search had noticed her across the street, when Mercy was aware of Genji across the crosswalk she waved to him. As soon as the crosswalk turned green Genji ran to her side, now standing in front of her, sweat dripping from the males forehead. "Where the hell were you!?"

"I went to the store silly." Mercy smiled lifting up her bags to show him that she was telling the truth.

"Do you have any idea how worried I was, that someone had took you away!?"

"What…" Mercy gawked at the frantic Genji, and in a sudden rush Genji pulled the blonde into a hug. "Don't ever leave without telling me first! You stupid girl!" Mercy could hardly take in what was happening, but subconsciously she hugged him back. "We can go home now… Genji." Genji finally letting go of the blonde,"Sorry I overreacted…"

Mercy shook her head,"No I should have told you I was leaving."

Genji laughed,"Let's go its freezing out here, and way to dark for a lady to be out here by herself."
