The sudden voice startled you as your eyes instantly locked on the owner who looked somewhere between angry and annoyed. McCree, on the other hand, pulled away just enough to turn and look at his friend though still stayed close to your body not seeing to be afraid or uncomfortable at all.

"What can I help you with, Genji?" McCree asked with some humor in his voice clearly amused by the situation even though Genji appeared to have a completely different attitude. 

Your eyes scanned quickly around McCree's body looking for some kind of exit to try and lessen the tension that seemed to be growing at an alarming rate. His thick arms had now been extended past your body resting against the wall to keep himself in place leaving a small opening just under the arm for your body to fit and be freed. 

"You've always been the charmer." Genji responded in a strange tone unhappy with what was unfolding before him. "Striking on a weak moment?"

Before McCree had a chance to answer you quickly ducked underneath his arm and removed yourself from his embrace and away from the warmth of his body. Both men stopped their tense conversation to focus in on your sudden movements. 

"It's alright." you spoke up straightening your new shirt that had been messed up from the sudden steamy encounter. "Really...it is." 

McCree straightened his body back up right while fixing his hat that had been messed up as well. He remained silent though Genji didn't seem completely convinced with your words. Thankfully, he dropped the subject avoiding anymore awkward explanations or even an argument.

"So..." you spoke up starting to feel slightly uncomfortable as both men remained focused on you. "Where exactly am I?"

"Go ahead and tackle this one." McCree told Genji as he reached into his pocket pulling out a fresh cigar along with a small silver lighter. 

Genji closed his eyes for a moment as you turned your attention onto him anxiously awaiting to hear how far away you where from home and if it was even still standing. Your body shivered partly from the sudden exchange with McCree and partly as you braced yourself for the worst news that could be given.

The hallway remained quiet except for the sound of McCree taking a deep puff of the cigar as he waited for Genji to speak as well. 

"Are you familiar with the Overwatch?" he said suddenly as the familiar name rung in your ears.

"Oh yes!" you told him knowing exactly what the Overwatch was and what they represented though there had always been a few whispers that the organization was corrupt or dangerous. "Your both members of the Overwatch. Oh that makes me feel so much better."

Suddenly every fear that you had completely went away. The thought of being murdered or even held hostage had washed away just knowing what organization had saved you. You had never believed any of the rumors that you had occasionally heard and both of these men risking their lives to save you just confirmed that the whispers were truly nothing but nonsense. 

"Well..." Genji began to say before quickly being cut off by McCree who had just blown a ring of smoke into the open air. 

"Yeah that's right." he started as he took the cigar from his lips to speak more clearly. "We were sent to the outskirts of London to survey the situation. That's when I saw you, Little Lady, and figured I had to save you."

"You had to save me huh?" you replied with a bit of sarcasm in your voice now that your mood had greatly improved from the great news you had just heard. You were no longer hesitant to speak or act knowing how safe you were with members of the Overwatch. 

"Yep." he answered simply. "You were pretty pathetic looking marching down the streets as a hostage. I figured you needed a big strong man to save the day."

You couldn't help but smile at his words even though he had just picked fun at you. As you were about to rebuttal Genji stepped forward approaching even closer to where McCree and yourself had been standing. 

His eyes looked somewhat softened but his exposed muscles were still tense as if he was expecting some sort of sneak attack at all times. Half of his body had been covered by metal and tubes but though this look no longer frightened you. Something tragic and near fatal obviously happened to him at some point and his life had been saved by someone who clearly knew what they were doing in the medical field. 

"I believe for the time being it would be beneficial if I take over from here, McCree." Genji spoke up as you both continued to look at him. "I'm relieving you of your duty for the rest of the day."

McCree swung his cigar from one side of his mouth to the other eyeing his friend up carefully unsure of what to say next. His hat fell slightly forward covering some of his forehead and creating a dim shadow over his eyes. 

"Okay....fine." he replied with smirk on his lips as he turned on his heel and began walking back in the direction you both had just came from. "I know when I'm not wanted. It's fine. My feelings aren't hurt or anything."

In that moment you couldn't help but feel bad even though you knew he was only joking around. His familiar presence brought you a sense of comfort and the feeling of his body against yours still lingered lightly.  You wanted to reach out to him and ask him to stay but before you could make any moves or speak any words a robotic hand gently placed itself around your arm.
