Unexpected Solutions

Chapter Two: Sunshine and Shopping

After the tour of the hideout, the two had settled for bed. Widow waited for Ashe to fall asleep before getting up and going to the upstairs part of the hideout. She found a chair and sat down, looking out the overhang windows. Looking at the dark sky. It was around 4 am. The sun would arise soon.

Ashe didn't need much sleep. She survived on whiskey, cigarettes and anger. With the occasional energy drink in the morning. Widow rarely slept as well. She could easily stay awake for days, she always enjoyed watching the sunrise, however. She knew her way around, facing east to watch. A few hours had passed, she stayed where she was and slowly the sun arose. Suddenly, a hand on her shoulder.

Widow snapped up, grabbing the person's arm and flipping them over her shoulder and onto their back.. On the floor. She nearly gasped when she realized it was Ashe. She put a hand on her chest and leaned down, making sure she was okay.

The outlaw just chuckled, keeping her eyes closed for a moment before looking up at Widowmaker. "Sorry sugar, I didn't mean to scare ya'." She said and reached, gently placing a hand on her cheek.

Widow leaned into the touch, placing her own on Ashes. Soon standing but helping the outlaw to stand. "I don't trust myself enough to sleep next to you yet.." She admitted, leaning against the windowsill. Now looking over to see the sun. "When I was brainwashed by Talon, I was driven to kill my husband in his sleep.. I've always slept alone when I did rest." She said, her hands together. She fidgeted by rubbing her thumb over her ring finger. Where a wedding band once was.

Ashe stood with the help of Widow, listening to her speak. "I understand why you wouldn't trust yourself. How about.. When Bob returns, I sent him on a few other tasks, he can stay with us in the room. When we rest." She suggested. "Would that make you feel better? If you knew Bob could stop you if need be?"

She hesitated but soon nodded gently at the offer. Slowly looking back at Ashe. She trailed her eyes up her body. Looking at each and every tattoo being shown off. Her legs, stomach, arms and neck. But soon was met with red eyes looking back at her own yellow ones. The gaze was immediately comforting, she took a breath and stood straight, taking a step closer and hugging the other. She put her head on her shoulder, leaning down, and closing her eyes. "These feelings are unknown to me. I enjoy being around you, though we barely know one another. What was the word.. A friend? Are you, my friend?" She questioned.

Ashe hesitated to receive the hug. It wasn't often she got them. However, the French hugging her was nice. She put her arms around the other, moving to take her hair down. It must hurt her scalp to have her hair up for that long. She kept the other close, listening to her words. "I can be your friend.. Friends who sleep in the same bed." She chuckled, liking the idea.

Widow smiled at the other's response, standing up from the hug. Her hair flowed nicely. It was excruciatingly long, thus why it's always up and out of her face, but it framed her beauty perfectly. Ashe smiled at the sight, reaching up to cup the other's cheek. "You're incredibly beautiful. I'm glad to be someone to you. If anyone, I mean anyone takes advantage of you and your beauty. Contact me." She said, reaching into the back pocket of her shorts and handing the other a phone. Her own contact and Bobs were there already. "Add anyone you want, this is so when we are apart, we can still talk to each other."

Widow took it with slight caution, looking at what she showed her. She nodded, holding onto the device. Ashe then gently took her hand and guided her back downstairs to her room. She looked at her clothes, getting something nice out for the other. First, she dressed herself, clad in jeans, a dress shirt which was buttoned just to barely show off her cleavage. She rolled up the sleeves then turned to Widow. She smiled gently to see her on her bed. She handed her a pile of clothes.

"I hope they fit. I dug out one of my old dresses. I thought you'd like it." Ashe said before finishing getting dressed. Gloves, hat and boots. She then turned, opening a screen and putting in a code. Part of her wardrobe disappeared back into the wall.. Replaced with weapons. She took down her main gun. The Viper was its name. She took down a smaller gun, putting the two on the bed next to Widowmaker. The barrels facing the wall.
