Elements of Sombra

Chapter 4

It's been a week and Sombra never said anything about Liams question. Ethan had been sitting and waiting for a while yet can't take it so that evening he walked to Sombra's room. He stood there for a whole ten minutes but did nothing.

Finally in defeat he sighed and knocked slowly. Feeling nervous all over  sudden.

"Come in Ethan"he took a deep breath and walked in, closing afterwards." You've been out my door for awhile now "

" Yeah I have"

"Something the matter?"

"Yeah" Sombra stopped writing and looked at him "About my powers could I you know control all fire stuff"

"Yes" he patted the stole beside him and Ethan walked sitting there "Hand"

He showed him his hand and Sombra covered it with his

"Do you feel that?"

It took him a moment but he felt light sparks

"Yeah"

"Good now" he lifts it and in between was his lime green hell fire spinning like a tornado making Ethan stare in wonder "That is my own fire, hell fire"

"Hell fire is green?"

"Because this fire is like poison on hit and you feel pain of a thousand venoms"

"Could I do this?"

"On a way, yes"

Then it slowly turned to small red - orange flame yet pictures started to flow around them in the form of the flame.

Ethan tapped on a flower which created multiples of it, he felt warm and save surrounded by it.

"It feels like a big hug"

"This flame is used to heal maybe if you practice then you could get this too"

The pictures and flame started to disappear and Sombra let go of his hand

"I'm gonna miss that"

"Why are you here in the first place?"

"Oh Uhm I was wondering if you could be the test dummy"

"Test dummy?"

"For me, I need a target I guess and Liam suggested you remember"

"No, I forgot about that but if it's to help your powers then... Fine"

This exited him but of course Sombra had to put him down on something.

"It may sound fun but you still need to work on getting an actual fire formation in one hand plus try different types and control it at the same time"

He thought about that for a moment

"If I really died and  came back then" He looked at his hand and slowly ab orange flame appeared show a picture of someone "I'd like to do it for her, my mom" He smiled at the picture and Sombra watched tears slowly go down his face "I loved her so much and when we crashed the last thing I ever heard was her singing to a song in the car. My mom always loved singing , I miss her everyday"

His flame disappeared it was only then his head hung low while he cried. He felt alone and scared yet in that moment Sombra moved closer to him then hugged him. Sure it surprised the hell out of Ethan although he didn't care. He wanted comfort and he got it from a man who he thought was a freak to a man whose clam and patient with him.

Ethan stayed liked that for a while, he didn't care if he looked weak but Sombra hugging him was something he always wanted from his own dad. His own dad never understood him at all.It took him a while but Ethan eventually he moved back. Sombra gave him a tissue box which made him smile.
