I started going into remission away from him. His smell was starting to stick to me so heavily, even when I was only a few feet away from him I could smell his manly cologne. Although, he could not sense his own scent, but I knew it all too well. It wrapped an engulfed me every time I touched him. His apartment was his indeed, his cloths that were a slight scent of soap, his cologne that masked it well, and every now and then he sweated and his own smell had taken over. That smell I once knew I was slowly starting to forget, it was flooded with the stench of death. When he awoke would he be more in shock than before. I already took some of his body away and too think I was the one who took more of him; what gave me the right? Was it selfish of me to save him, as if it was for my own gain that I didn't want him to die. He didn't get the choice to chose his fate, it was already decided for him. Can he truly call me his savior when I keep putting him in danger.
Mercy thought process was interrupted when an unfamiliar figure stood in front of the cell. He didn't speak at first, yet he hushed the girl from making a sound; Mercy was too weak to speak at this point, but she nodded and did as she was told. It was not meal time, so what was this man standing in front of her doing? That's when the door to her cell unlocked, the door slowly creaked open, and the man disappeared like a shadow in the night.
Mercy used that last bit of her strength to get up, her knees wobbled about, but she managed to balance herself, she clung to the cells bars for support and made her way down a narrow hallway. At first there was nobody insight, and it stayed that way for a bit; when she finally heard a voice she quickly hid herself. The voice was faring away so luckily she wouldn't get caught, but she over heard the two of them talking about Genji; or who she assumed by the way they snarled about how stubborn the prisoner was being.
"He nearly ripped my arm off he was so strong, they keep having to up the dose they're giving to him, but it doesn't seem to be working. It's like he is immune to it, but it worked so well before."
"I know, they had too chain him down the boss is having a hard time getting him to cooperate. Not to mention he keeps yelling about that bitch that is locked up in the cell. The boss had to threaten him if he didn't calm down."
Mercy touched her chapped lips, a bit in awe with the out come,"his body is coming adjusting to the medicine they're pumping into him. Still… I have to get to him fast before he runs out of energy."
The voices faded, and when Mercy was sure the coast was clear she got up in search for Genji, still unsure of which way to go, she might have stayed that way, but she heard the mans scream echo. Although his scream was hard to make out, she followed the source and eventually the door that had lead to Genji's screams. She could feel the coldness of the room escape from beneath the doors frame. Mercy pressed her ear against the door, and the screams had stopped; she could clearly hear someone on the other side besides Genji, as she felt the present near she quickly hid behind some lone stacked boxes. A man exited the door and walked the hall, she watched closely as the man had disappeared around a corner. This was a chance, Mercy swiftly entered the room, and as she thought nobody was there beside Genii who was chained against the familiar metal table. His body bruised and battered, dried blood still visible across the floor. Genji's face was more pale than she could have imagined, his lips a deep crimson purple. Mercy now neared his side she tapped him a few times and he did not awake. Mercy knew she didn't have time to stall, but how was she to carry him when she could hardly carry herself.
"Genji, please… please wake up." Mercy shook his lifeless body, tears swelling her eyes. She bit her bottom lip, pursing her lips she shook the man again. No response once again. Mercy sighed, she helpless stood there, curling herself next to Genji she hugged him; the chains clanked against the metal table. This is all Mercy could do, she could only comfort Genji.
"There so many things I wanted to do with you… Even if you didn't see me as a women. I think I…" Mercy was startled when Genji's cold hand gripped hers. "Genji?" Mercy yelped, and his response was a lone sharp groan.
"You're alive…" Genji hissed through his teeth.
"Genji!" Mercy yelled again, but she hushed herself to not get to loud as someone might hear her. She got up from the table and aided to his side.
"I'm so… so sorry Genji this is all my fault…"
Genji shook his head,"we don't have a lot of time. They come in here every fifteen minutes to dose me, I almost broke free once; but I'm starting to lose my will. How did you escape? They didn't hurt you did they?"
Mercy looked down she spoke softly,"someone came to my cell, I don't know who… but they freed me. They didn't hurt me, but they made me…" Mercy cringed at the thought of what she had done to Genji.
"I know Mercy, please don't cry anymore. I will protect you. The key… It's on the wall." Genji pointed to the wall, and Mercy nodded. She didn't waste any time and quickly unlocked Genji, he sat up weakly. He touched his cold metal arm, and looked at Mercy. "Please don't blame yourself, at least it works." Genji smiled at Mercy who was on the merge of tears once more. Genji laughed as he use to, but Mercy could not forget and the tears had poured through. Genji used his real hand to wipe away her tears, he smiled once more,"stop crying… I'm not dead. Let's go home."
The word home seemed unrealistic to Mercy, she was starting to lose hope, but the way Genji spoke she knew he would keep his promise.
Genji got up taking Mercy in hand, Mercy followed along him. With every minute Genii was regaining his strength, he opened the door and looked about to make sure nobody was there. He went first as a man should and Mercy followed. "Genji what are you planning to do to Junkenstein?" Genji stopped in the middle of the hall to face Mercy, her eyes still red from crying,"if I ever see that man again I'll rip his throat out were he stands." Genji's words were harsh, it had frightened Mercy, but she said no more and they continued their path. At this point it was seeming too good to be true, but somehow they were really going to escape; or so they thought.
There was a strange sounding alarm throughout the building. This made the two go on edge, and they quickly hid, the hustle of men coming going quickly followed, most likely everyone knew the two were trying to escape. Genji whispered to Mercy,"We are walking around blind right now, we need a plan. I can distract them… Just run Mercy." Mercy became angry with the thought,"no you promised we go home together, I'm not leaving you behind."
Genji clenched Mercy's arm, he glared into her deep crystal blue eyes,"it isn't going to be easy… it will be much easier if you just go. I was a dead man once… thanks for letting me live a bit longer." Mercy threw Genji off her,"no, what about Hanzo? You still have to deal with your revenge. What about me? I… I can't imagine my life without you!" Genji could see the sorrow in Mercy's eyes, they pierced against his heartstrings. How could this women so easily cast a spell on him. Mercy had not hesitated she stood onto the tips of her toes leaned in and planted a sentimental kiss on his forehead. Her lips quivered against his skin, his head tasted salty, but it was somehow sweet. Genji just stood there his eyes gleaming open in shock, his heart becoming heavy, every second it had beat faster and slowly he managed blush. In realization he pushed Mercy off and turned from her so she could not see his face, he clenched where his heart laid.
"Genji…?" Genji did not respond, he kept his head down, and all of a sudden the lights went dark. "Genji I can't see anything…" Genji didn't speak, instead he gripped Mercy fragile hand and followed along the hallway, the darkness would give them the advantaged they needed to escape. However, Genji saw a light beaming from underneath a door, he followed the light, and the door swung open to the outside. The fresh air was so refreshing after being locked up so long, but the doors light had drawn attention and by the time the two were outside they were already being surround by Junkensteins men.
"Tsk… Tsk… Tsk… My little subjects." Junkensteins voice arose from the crowd, Genji and Mercy's gaze met his, Genji had hid Mercy behind him. He snarled at the man, his eyes blazed anger as he stood tall, Genji was unfazed by his present he showed no weakness to the situation.
"You've gone too far with this Junkenstein, come any closer and I will end that pathetic thing you call your life." Junkenstein showed no change in his actions he continue his confident stroll towards the two who were trapped around his men. Genji did not budge either, and at this point it was unsure of what was to happen, but Mercy noticed that greenish glow coming off of Genji, similar to the experience they had back in Mercy's lab when these men first appeared. Dragonbale. Junkenstein's men slightly backed off, knowing Genji would not fall for anymore of their tricks. Junkenstein however reached the end of his walk, he was now face to face to Genji his eyes peering directly at him a sinister of a smile, and a flash of his teeth glared. Genji could not stand this, he took his newly robotic arm and crushed his fist against Junkensteins evil grin, a cracking sound and then the man flew meeting the ground. Junkenstein laughed mincingly he picked himself up. "Yes! Yes! Be the monster I always wanted you to be."
"You're fucking crazy." Genji growled, Junkenstein snicker however, he spat out some blood that was swelling up in his mouth from Genji's intense punch. "Crazy no! Insane? Yes!" Junkenstein rolled over hunched to Genji,"Mercy… you stupid little thing… you want to know why I really wanted to play with you. My theory… my precious theory was ignored, but yours was praised when we had the same ideas even though I suggested it first… Because it was you… So when I saw you getting gummy with this guy… I thought? I wonder how she feel if I hurt him really… really badly and made her do it." Junkenstein erupted in an evil sickening laugh.
"You're a monster." Mercy yelled, and Genji seemed to have enough of his bullshit, he tightened a lock against Junkenstein neck and squeezed draining the oxygen from him. "You think this is a game? To mess with a girls emotions?" Junkenstein was not putting up a fight he just grinned, he was truly an evil person. This only enraged Genji more, the greenish glow took and intense turn and Genji built on the raged towards Junkenstein. Mercy although she knew he deserved every bit of what Genji was distorting she couldn't bare to hurt another human, let alone kill them; no matter how evil they were.
Mercy embraced Genji in a back hug, she clung onto his body with every fiber of her being. Her arms firmly wrapped around his torso, he was so broad she could hardly reach completely around him, just her finger tips touch against one another. Her head laid against his back, she smothered herself against him and with a gentle whisper,"this isn't like you Genji… you're kind and gentle soul… you're not as low as him. Let's… Let's go home." Genji's raged had subsided with Mercy's words. He dropped the evil doctor, he hit the ground coughing dramatically about clinging to his throat for air.
Genji turned to face Mercy who was looking up peacefully to the male. Genji wrapped his hands around her head, and for a moment she thought he might kiss her, but he just took her into a hug, somewhat that had sadden her, but she wouldn't complain.
Genji turned back to face the the man that was still coughing about on the ground,"you know I could kill you, but I wouldn't dare do that in front of Mercy. If you ever show your face in front of us again, I will kill you… and this time Mercy won't be there to save you."
Genji had taken Mercy and left the seen, Junkenstein however did not stop them, instead he smiled as if this was planned. When the two were out of site, Junkenstein called fourth one of his men. "I'll let them have their fun for now, but this won't be the last time, so we will see who has the last laugh… thanks for your hard work… Gabriel…" He patted the muscular dark cloaked figure and left into the building Gabriel and the other men followed along.
