    The night inside the ship had been awfully quiet. Too quiet for anyone's comfort to allow anyone to drop their guard. Of course Y/N hasn't dropped her guard at any bit of her chance to get comfortable there. As of now, Only Hanzo remained by her side at all times while Genji was summoned to Dr. Ziegler for a checkup. Hanzo and Y/N stood quietly looking out the windows of the Ship that gave nothing by murky clouds that made it impossible to see what is in front of them. There was nothing much to see; but it was as close to as being outside. If wanted to go outside, you'll have to wear a mask for oxygen. The pressure up in the skies is high.

    Y/N stood there with her arms behind her back. Staring into nothingness through that glass of darkness. The silence between her and Hanzo grew. His thoughts remained in his own to keep him distracted. Following The Queen where ever she went and wished to do. The sense of endangerment went through his mind; worrying about her safety. Not just here, but in a life she will never consider normal. Nor, did she ever have a normal life. Then, Hanzo was reminded of the past. The good in the past of them too. Bringing sweet memories that distracted him into smiling to only himself. Not knowing, that the window gave off such a reflection that Y/N had noticed his unintentional smile.

    "What are you thinking about, Hanzo?",she asked.

    Catching him off guard, he responded,"Memories, Your Grace, pleasant ones."

    "Hm, what kind of memories?"

    "Ones that included you."

    "I find it quite worth thinking about. Remembering the first time we've met, until the last time we saw each other. Now, I'm back to finish what I have already started. I've been through so much to get here and I will do everything it takes to end it now. To end this war."

   "What do you plan when this is all over?"

   "What do you plan,Hanzo?",she asked back.

   ". . . I do not think I have an answer for that."

   "Isn't it obvious?",she turned to look at him,"After all of this is over, I only wish to get what is mine and yours. To start anew with a life I wished for a long time. To spend my life with you. We will have to wait and see what is in store with us."

   "Such optimistic." 

   "Have Faith, Hanzo."

   The two stared at each other eyes. Y/N forming a soft comforting smile before placing a hand on his shoulder. Her body turning over to face away from the Windows, walking away as their leave. Looking behind him, Hanzo looked behind him; looking at the window.

    "Hanzo, we must return back before it gets late."

   Without saying a word, Hanzo followed up with Y/N.

    "D.Va in the fresh,Woo! Can I get your autograph?!"

    "Only if I can get yours too. I love your new album!",replied D.Va.

    "Alright, Kids. Time to go to sleep.",Said Ana.
