'This goddamn thing is endless' Sombra said annoyed in the small, winding and dark cave. They have been following the path for what seemed like half an hour or so, but still no end to it, only occasional curves. And sometimes, like now, they reached a crossroads 'Maybe we should track back?' she asked, directing her flashlight at Hanzo.

'No, this is the right path' the man said, intently looking into the darkness ahead of him, then closed his eyes and reached out a hand. Something small and blue, barely more than some strange smoke swirled around his hand and flowed forward, turning left.

'Wow, look at that. This spirit dragon stuff can be handy' Sombra remarked sassily, and followed the path set by the blue smoke 'Can these dragons of yours feel how close your brother is?'

'They used to' the archer replied shortly. But I am not sure anymore, is what he thought to himself.

'Well, what do ya know' the Latina whistled after another few hundred meters when they reached what seemed to be the end of the maze. An enormous dome lay before them carved in the rock, with a massive altar in front. There was a huge flight of stairs leading up to it with a small chamber on either side and omnic statues everywhere. On the sides and behind the shrine there was a huge, U-shaped pool of water. The place was rather beaten up, the left side of it seemingly collapsed, but light still managed to shine through some small windows from the top right of the dome. There was an eerie whistling noise as the wind started picking up outside.

'So this is it' Hanzo whispered, clenching his fists. And then, much to Sombra's surprise, he started sprinting up the stairs.

'Hey wait-!' she yelled after him 'It might be dangerous, idiota!'

But he did not hear her and only had his eyes at the shrine, which had a strange silhouette in the middle of it.

'Brother…' he panted as he set foot at the top of the stairs.

But…

It wasn't him.

It was just another statue.

Hanzo leaned tiredly against one of the stone pillars and closed his eyes; Sombra caught up with him a moment later.

'Not here… huh?' she asked disappointedly, and stepped closer to the statue.

'Curse all of this' Hanzo muttered to himself while Sombra knelt down and dusted off a plate the omnic monk was holding.

'... I think we're just missing something' she whispered as she leaned closer to the plate.

'Enough!' Hanzo's voice startled her and made her stand up again 'I have had enough of you, woman! There is no us in this, there never was! Is this just one of your games again?' he yelled raging, and grabbed her wrist. Sombra gritted her teeth and instantly thought of a hundred ways she could escape the archer. She tried pulling her gun but the man snatched her other wrist and pushed her hard against the statue.

'You cannot toy with me any longer, I won't tolerate it' he groaned furious, and saw the undeniable shock on her face.

Yes.

That was it.

He wanted it.

And he bent down, pressing his lips against hers, and the black, soft lips gave way into her mouth and he just wanted to take it all. He let go of her hand and pulled her close, digging his fingers into her hair and enjoying feeling her whole body against his.

When Sombra finally drew a breath, she felt light-headed and could barely believe what just happened. But the archer let him go and stepped back, as if regretting what he just did. And she, well… the only thought in her head was that he kissed way better than she had ever imagined.

'Ummm….' for once, she was speechless 'Soo….'

'I am leaving' Hanzo said coldly, and turned away 'And I am determined to do it alone.'

'Hell what?' she snapped angrily and grabbed his shoulder; as he turned around and she saw his expression, she instantly regretted the decision.

'You know what? FINE! Go then, goodamit! Chingate!' and she turned away in protest, gritting her teeth angrily as she heard him trot down the stairs and slowly the sound of his steps faded away.

What was this, dammit? All of this messed-up crap? She was pretty bad at it before as well, not to mention since she gave up her normal life…

'Fuck you, asshole' she murmured to herself and stepped back to the statue, examining the plate it was holding. There was some inscription on it, but some of it faded and rather… strange... She ran her fingers across it, and as her brain registered the pattern, she almost laughed at herself for being so stupid. Of course, it was written in binary!

But as she tried to take a closer look at the plate, she heard some noise in the distance.

'Sombra!'

It was him. What the hell, she thought to herself, as she turned around and saw him at the entrance.

'I apologize. It was rather rash of me to leave you.' he said in a levelled tone, but as she slowly descended the stairs, she got the feeling something just wasn't right. Was he coming back to… use her or something? He certainly did want something.

But then, when she got closer, she saw the troubled look on his face, and him mouthing: GO BACK.

'That's far enough!' a shot was fired just a few inches from her feet, and she again reached for her weapon 'Not so fast!' the person from the shadow of the corridor called out, and someone pointed a huge knife at Hanzo's throat.

'You guys really thought you could escape me?' the person stepped out from the shadows; it was the tanned man leading the camp of scraphunters. Sombra didn't see all of them, but surmised there could be some others creeping in the shadow of the hallway. 'Well, think again. There was a tracker in that bag you took… See, we like to keep track of what is ours.' he smiled cockily at them both 'You caused us quite the damage… I kinda had to promise my men that I would skin you both alive.'

Sombra quickly ran through her options. Letting them in or going with them into the narrow corridor were not the best options they had. So they have to fight here… but… Hanzo had his bow across his shoulder but not his arrows… and anyway, those were not ideal for this short range…

'Get. The fuck. In line.' The guy said annoyed, and pointed his weapon right at her head.

'I am always out of line, idiota' Sombra hissed, and in a blink of an eye went into her camo mode, carefully dropping to her knees, avoiding the bullet flying straight at her.

Everything slowed down for a second.

Hanzo reached up, grabbing the wrist of the man holding the knife and rolled around quickly, but before he could punch the guy, he slashed with the knife at the archer's right arm.

Sombra ran towards the leader and hit him in the face with a spin kick, before he could fire at Hanzo, making him fall back into the tunnel. When she got up wheezing and still in camo, she saw Hanzo being held back by another man while the one with the knife was ready to cut his throat. The woman quickly drew her weapon and, coming out of camo, shot the guy with the knife dead, making some of his lackeys behind him run for cover in the hallway and screaming for help.

Hanzo headbutted the guy holding him, and, squatting down, threw him over his back with a sudden and powerful move.

'Fall back!' he yelled at Sombra.

'But there are more!' she replied in protest, cocking her uzi.

'Not for long' Hanzo said, reaching down into his shin and drawing a smaller arrow from a hidden pocket of his boots. Something about him changed at that very moment, and Sombra fell back way behind him, as instructed. They could already hear the yelling and footsteps of the gang approaching through the small corridor.

Hanzo drew the arrow and as his muscles tensed, his left hand started to glow with an otherworldly light.

"Ryu ga waga teki wo kurau!" he shouted, and released the arrow engulfed in that blue smoke, which, in a matter of moments, took shape in two magnificent dragons, circling each other as they rushed through the air and even the thick rock walls, leaving no human sound behind their wake, only loud rumbling of the rock.

'Get in the water!' Hanzo commanded her after listening for a few seconds, and she didn't object to it, just turned around and ran as the rumbling got louder and louder. He quickly caught up with her and shoved her in the pool just before some massive boulders started falling from the structure.

The water was more or less clear, but she couldn't see anything after they both jumped in; there were too many bubbles all around, and Sombra tried her best to get back up to the surface again, thanking her wits that all her equipment was more or less waterproof.

She surfaced with a loud gasp, and saw some bigger boulders falling down near the entrance, completely blocking it and probably crushing some of those thugs. Some larger rocks also made it into the pool, but form a safer distance from them; and then the whole thing stopped, and there was only silence. And then Hanzo said:

'That is what the dragons are meant for.'


Sombra was trying to squeeze all the water from her hair, her special gloves and circuits, but it was not easy at all. She just had to wait until they dry up naturally; but that meant it was all the harder to get out of here without her abilities.

Hanzo was in the middle of lighting a fire from some hay, twigs and strips of his clothing, but without much success.

'Why are you so keen to start that fire?' she asked him, pulling down the zipper of her camosuit to reveal her cleavage, because she was dying from the wet fabric.

'So I can sterilize this needle and treat this wound' he said, as if talking to a child. She completely forgot about his arm, which was still bleeding rather heavily; the knife must have cut deep.

'Ugh… doesn't look good' she said, getting up and crouching down next to him. The cut was on his upper arm, but it did not hit any major veins, or else probably he wouldn't be alive anymore. He stripped down to a pair of underwear and a black turtleneck top, but she refrained to make any saucy comments, given their fallout previously.

Finally Hanzo was able to spark the heap of flammables with the help of two rocks, and bent down to breathe the flames to life.

'Tell me' Sombra said after some hesitation 'Did you come back because you wanted them to catch me too, or because you were hoping I would save your sorry ass like I did?'

Hanzo pursed his lips just a tiny bit, and pretended to concentrate on the flames. His hair came undone and the bangs covered some of his face, making him seem somewhat younger.

'I had no chance, I was their prisoner' he then said in a somewhat light tone, as if to annoy her, and took a small package from his partially shredded jacket. She saw him take out the curved needle and hold it into the small flame to sterilize it. She really wanted to ask about what happened before… if he meant it or not… but she couldn't find the words for it.

'Have you done that before?' she rather asked, looking disbelievingly at him.

'On a few occasions, yes' he replied almost amused, but then inspected his wound closer 'Though… This would be hard to do alone. Do it for me.'

'What? Ugh!' Sombra replied a bit disgusted 'Okay, I guess, you big wuss' she crawled over to him, taking the thread and needle and carefully touching his arm.

It felt so… big, strong… she ran her hands through it, as if to assess the depth of the wound, but in fact she was enjoying his firm muscles. She kind of wanted to press her body against that strong arm, and…

'Are you feeling well?' Hanzo breathed gently, not so far from her face 'You look red. Are you hurt?'

'N-no' she murmured, trying to concentrate on the task at hand. He handed her a tiny flask of disinfectant that she poured over the wound and he hissed. Even that made her horny, and Sombra cursed herself for that. With a big gulp, she thrust the needle in his skin, and he barely twitched. Then again, and again…

'I am almost impressed' Hanzo said with a light smile when she was done. She bent down to bite off the end of the thread and felt a strong urge to kiss the archer's skin… but instead just picked up a strip of cloth and bandaged the wound, pulling a tight knot on it that made him flinch.

'What was that kiss, eh?' she finally blurted out, looking away and slightly blushing. The wind outside became a heavy sandstorm and it was blowing in some sand through the small windows on the top of the dome.

He let out a sigh, obviously not in the mood for this conversation.

'Do you want me to apologize?' he asked softly.

'Just shut the fuck up then' she whispered and bent close to him, placing her hands on his jawline and nape and pressing her lips against his.

Hanzo pulled her close with his other hand and they kissed for what felt like an eternity.

'So you consent this time?' Sombra breathed slyly once she drew back. The archer let out a smile and in an instant pushed her on the ground, getting atop of her.

'That was a very uncouth way of dealing with things back in Hanamura' he said almost scoldingly, and pulled down the zipper of her camo suit all the way, cupping her bare waist with his hand and running his thumb along her ribcage, which made her shiver and arch her body.

'What will you do about it?' she asked gently, invitingly, and reached down to pull up his top. His abs were simply delicious and she ran her hand all the way up to his chest.

'I know you will take advantage of it later' he murmured, but his eyes were already fixed on hers.

'I won't. Pinkie promise' the Mexicana said out of breath, and reached up to pull his head down.

'You'd better not' he growled before kissing her hard and pressing his body against hers.
