3: Getting To Know More About You

~(Y/n)'s POV~

So far, everything was going great at a scary and slow pace on my first day. Yet, I don't feel like I belong here at Overwatch...everyone here...the heroes make peace in such a short time. I wonder why they even picked me if I can barely heal 2 people when Mercy can rise them up from the grave. Why me?

~Later that night~

I wake up and look outside, seeing the starry night sky. I look at my clock which says 12:11 am. I groan and lay there for a bit.

"Well I know I'm not going to bed until I get tired, soooo....!" I say as I jump out of bed, wearing a very light purple nightgown with fuzzy (f/c) pants on.

I walk out of my room, making sure I stay silent, and start walking towards the hero lobby. I decide to check out the training room and shuffle my way over to the door. I hear footsteps as if someone was training, they were quick steps so obviously this person was quick on their feet. I looked In the room and saw Genji training, I leaned against the door frame, hoping to stay as silent as I can so he doesn't notice me. This isn't creepy, right? But anyways, as I was watching him train, he had his back facing me, I noticed the white armored parts were in place where his muscles would be. 

"Wow..." I whispered as I saw him move quickly.

"I know you are there."

I gasp and stay there. After a few seconds I slowly walk towards him, hoping he's not angry with me intruding. I get a few feet away from him and see him turn around. I look down, blushing slightly.

"I-I'm sorry...I couldn't help but notice how you trained.." I replied shyly as he looked down at me.

"It's alright. No harm done." he replied as he placed his blade back into it's sheath.

"I-I don't think I introduced myself to you..so hi, I'm (Y/n)..!"

"Greetings, I am Genji." he bowed his head and looked at me again. "You are the new healer and offense agent, yes?"

"Yup!" I said, "But unlike Mercy, I can't rise the "dead" so, your lucky to have her on your team."

He placed his hand on my shoulder, "That does not mean you are not special to have as a healer, you can change into a offense. Which is what Mercy cannot do."

"Yeah...I guess..."

"Plus, we are only a team for the week. So, I will be with you next week to see your full potential."

  I can't help but smile. Then I start wondering if he was just a programmed robot to say things like that. I look at him from head to toe, Is he a cyborg...? 

 "No. I have a body of a cyborg but the soul of a human." I felt my eyes widen.

 "How did you...?" 

"Your contact was very limited with me." he said with a slight chuckle. 

I smiled a bit when he chuckled. I looked at his arm and felt curiosity wash over me as I saw the way his body moved as Genji breathed, the way green light stood out from the white.

"This may be weird but can I take a look at..." I started asking. Don't say body, don't say body! "your arm?"

"Please." he stretched out his arm. I got closer, closing the gap between us and gently took his arm, "Wow..." I said as I looked at the white parts of his arm. "So the white parts would represent your muscle and the grey would represent your inner body...interesting..." I glided my finger up to his elbow and bent it. Then I went to his wrist and twisted it, "This is amazing.."

"Heh, you seem very interested with the structure of my arm."

"Who wouldn't? It moves just like a regular body does. I've never seen anything like this before."

I looked into his green visor and thought for a moment. "Can you see me?"

"Yes." he replied.

I looked to the side of his visor and poked at his cheeks, earning another chuckle from him, "You are very interesting (Y/n)."

I blushed slightly and let go of his arm, "I got that phrase all the time when I was a child." 

"And adventurous, I see." he added.

All of a sudden, I heard some giggling coming from the door, "You two seem to be getting along just fine!"

I turned around and saw Tracer, smiling with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

"Y-Yea..I guess so!" I said as I moved a few steps away from Genji, "He is a very interesting person and has a kind personality!"

"(Y/n) is a very curious person. Like a cat." he teased.

"Definitely! Also, did you know she is our new hero, Genji?" Tracer asked. 

"Yes indeed," he replied, "and I am looking forward to working with her."

"Oh, you should love! (Y/n) can heal you so fast, you won't even know she healed you!" 

I scratched the back of my head, "Now, I'm not THAT quick."

"You are! Plus her ult is so COOL!" Tracer adds.

"Well, looks like I have more to look forward to." Genji says as he looks at me.

Well fuck...."L-Look Tracer, I'm not that fast and my ult ain't that special!" I said as I made this kinda 'What the hell are you talking about' face at her.

"Love, stop doubting yourself! You're quick, and your ult is amazing! You took 3 people down in under a minute, that's an accomplishment!" she said as she hugged me.

"...FINE! I GIVE IN!!" I said as I groaned and leaned back, "Now I'm tired so, I'm going to bed!"

"Indeed, it is late after all. Would you like me to walk you to your room (Y/n)?" Genji asked as Tracer stopped hugging me. I turned to him and smiled, "If you'd like." 

I felt MAJOR fangirling energy waving off of Tracer but I shrugged it off. Lena started running back to her room and closed her door loud enough that I could hear it. I started walking to my room as Genji accompanied me.

Once I reached my door I looked back at Genji, "Well, goodnight Genji!"

"Goodnight (Y/n)." 

After that, I walked into my room and shut the door. I held my arm and walked over to my nightstand, it had a black music box, engraved with vines and leafs that had small 3D opal, emerald, and ruby flowers, plus buds. There was a keyhole at the top, surrounded by vines and leafs, I unhooked a lock and took off my necklace. I placed the key into the keyhole and twisted it a couple of times and opened the box. Soft music started playing and a (f/c) light came out of it and went onto my bed. It started spinning until a figure of a wolf sat on my bed. All of the flowers and buds turned white. I walked up to it and smiled.

"Hello Shadow." I said as I sat next to him, stroking his ears.

Shadow rubbed his head under my neck which made me giggle. As the music continued to play, I got under the blankets while Shadow laid in front of me, as if he was protecting me like when I was 5. I was given the key necklace and the box when I was a baby, my family did this so whenever I was alone or frightened, I could play it and Shadow would come out for protection and comfort. The key and music box has been passed down from generation to generation, which then lead to me. I drifted off to sleep thinking of my 5 year old life.

When I was asleep completely, the music box stopped playing and closed by itself, leaving the key in the keyhole. Shadow stayed by my side making sure nothing was wrong and laid his head down.  In the morning, Shadow would return back into the box and the flowers and buds would turn back into they're gems, leaving me alone once more. But I wouldn't be alone, I got everyone by my side through the whole journey...right?
