Upon returning back to the ship both Hunter and Widow are greeted with a brooding Crosshair who is standing off to the distance, "I see he managed to find his toothpick collection" the woman states teasingly causing Hunter to huff out a silent chuckle through his nostrils. Walking to the ship Widow stops at the ramp and places a hand on his shoulder stopping Hunter in his tracks of following her onto the ship "Go on and talk to him" she smiles reassuringly at him before releasing his shoulder and gently pushing him in the direction of Crosshair.

Upon entering the ship Widow notices Tech on his data pad tapping away, Wrecker and Omega are currently asleep leaning up against the wall making her smile at the sight, Echo approaches her with his warm smile. She grins widely at him as they reach to embrace each other tightly "I still cant believe you had to do that" he says into their embrace, pulling away from each other they make their way to the cockpit to join Tech. "Yes it was a risk but it worked!" chuckling at her own statement, Tech looks up from his data pad and fixes his glasses "You caused emotional heartbreak when you did that Widow" he looks down "For all of us" looking back up to her "I wont say I'm sorry for going" she pauses as she looks over to both Tech and Echo "But I am sorry for causing you guys to go through that, but it was our only chance for an escape." explaining herself to them.

Echo sighs leaning back into his chair watching her movements, his eyes occasionally glancing back down to the case of credits that currently reside in the cockpit, Widow notices his gaze, smiling softly "Its enough to keep us afloat for awhile at least, find a backwater planet and lay low" Echo nods his head at her explanation, hearing stirring from the distance Omega appears into the cockpit with her arms crossed trying to mimic Hunters famous disapproving facial expressions. Sighing to herself Widow nods towards the ramp of the ship signaling her to go outside, Omega turns on her heels quickly making her way outside "Good Luck" Echo looks towards Widow with another soft look as she stands up to follow the child down the ramp.

Once Widows foot hits the soil she notices that Omega is watching the interaction between Hunter and Crosshair, watching them both for a moment herself she sees the irritation in both of them, Crosshair essentially scolding Hunter who has his arms crossed over his chest listening to him. Both Widow and Omega couldn't make out the conversation, deciding to give them their privacy Widow guides Omega away with a hand on her shoulder from both the ship and the heated conversation between the brothers. "They have a lot to talk about Mega, like we do right now." Widow states as they walk a distance away.

Both of them sit down in the grassy area keeping the ship in view just incase, sitting across from each other now staring into each others eyes "Why did you go and not tell us? We could have helped you!" Omega starts her tone was no longer a shy innocent child, but this was the tone of someone who is concerned and worried about Widow, taking a deep breath "I wanted to get Hunter off the cruiser while at the same time trying to collect the bounty off my head" Widow explains "I wanted to make sure we had a escape from the life of being a mercenary, I hate the fact that you haven't been able to have the chance to actually be a child and enjoy your youth Omega" sighing softly once more "You never asked for any of this, neither did your brothers."

Omega watches her closely "I wanted to try and make life at least a little easier on us is all and get Hunter back in the process." Widow finishes, watching the girl in front of her nod her head "I understand why you did it, but why was Fives carrying you off the ship?" Widow looks down as the question she dreaded was asked by her daughter like figure, "Hunter told Wrecker and I to stay on the ship, I had already seen you from the cockpit when you guys first arrived" Omega explains while her hands move to play with the soft grass in between them, her gaze moving down to watch her own hand movements with a soft smile at the grass, Widow couldn't help but take in the sight in awe but with the under lining of dread, "Omega I have trained a select few to know how to handle the situation such as that, thankfully that was a one and done deal since I don't have access to the resources I need to create another one." Widow explains once more as Omega looks back up to her puzzled "Well, what did it do to you?" the girl questions the woman sitting across from her "Well, it sent a electric frequency to my heart to make it stop to appear as if I were dead, you see how it works is that the frequency only stopped my heart but my other body functions were working but at a lower occupancy than normal." Omega looks down hearing that as lets out a sigh of her own. "It must have been bad for you to do that then." she softly says, Widow nods her head silently "It was" she finishes.
