"We deeply apologize, Zenyatta..." Carbonyatta bowed to Zenyatta. "He got past our defences."

"We aren't exactly defence heroes." Skullyatta added.

Zenyatta and Redyatta where doing their daily meditation. They were floating above some pillows which were kind of pointless if you think about it because they float. They refused to move until they heard Genji knock on the door.

Zenyatta sighed robotically. "Let him in." He said with a wave of his hand.

The two other yattas exchanged emotionless glances before opening the doors. As soon as the door was cracked open, Genji zipped inside. "Zenyatta! I am here for bible study!" He shouted.

"I told you to start doing it on your own, Genji." Zenyatta said.

"Yeah but I refused to listen." Genji shrugged.

"Genji, I'm serious." Zenyatta yattad. "Now that I have a botfriend, I don't have time to do bible study with you."

Redyatta was eyeing Genji. One of Redyatta's special powers was that could sense emotions, and Genji was emitting a strange one. It was a mix of happy, sad, peeved, and something unexplainable. As Zenyatta and Genji were bickering, Redyatta interrupted them. "Who was the guy you were talking to?" he asked.

Genji paused. "How did you know about that?" he asked

Zenyatta pulled Redyatta into a corner and they had a small conversation. All Genji could make out of it was "You didn't tell him?" and "I thought he'd freak out and leave and deal with his self hatred alone." before they started talking in their Omnic language. Genji regreted not doing the Duolingo for it.

After a few minutes of beeps and boops and what sounded like sobs but in typewriter, Zenyatta and Redyatta turned around. "Genji..." Zenyatta began. "You're kinda part of the hive mind."

Genji gasped as Suspense Accent 03 played and the camera zoomed up to his face. "You are lying! I am not even able to read your thoughts!"

"That's now how it works." Redyatta said.

Genji then asked, "Then how does it work?"

"We might as well start at the basics. Because Zenyatta adopted you, he developed the hive mind with you, and his hive mind spreads through the entire village."

"Gross." Genji remembered all the terrible things he's done on the internet. Like watch Fortnight creepypasta dramatic readings at 4AM.

Redyatta was still curious about the emotion Genji had. It was different now because he was freaking out about the hive mind. He started to ask his question again but Genji started his dialogue first.

"I still do not believe you. What's my favorite number?" He asked.

"25" Zenyatta asked instantaneously.

"Why?" Genji was still skeptical

"Because it's funnier than 24"

Genji gave up and accepted the fact that his bible study buddy could read his thoughts. Redyatta decided to ask his question once more.

"Just some guy that got an anime reference that was also a meme." Genji shrugged.

"So, you have a crush?" Zenyatta asked.

"Ew no why would you think that?" Genji used his deflection ability for no reason.

"That happened the last time someone understood your memes." Zenyatta remembered back to when Genji talked for hours on end about Mercy because she understood his Ugandan Knuckles joke.

"No, I get the feeling it's more like a Frush." Redyatta stated. A frush is a word I, the god of this world aka the author, just made up to move the story along. Frush /frəSH/: To want to be someone's friend. Genji has a Frush on Reaper.

"He is cool because he also watches anime and he's not my brother." Genji dabbed but his happiness quickly faded. "He is from Talon though."

Genji's frush reminded Redyatta of that one Hallmark movie he watched with Zenyatta about the two rival Christmas store owner's children falling in love even though they weren't supposed to even go near each other but the power of love and Christmas spirit brought them together.

"I'm sure you can become great friends eventually," Redyatta assured Genji.

Genji smiled under his mask. "You are right. I am sure we will meet again." Genji dabbed once more. "I wonder if he is still here." He thought to himself before dashing out of the room.

Redyatta and Zenyatta knew Reaper wasn't in Nepal anymore, but they didn't want to tell Genji that because he would have stayed with them longer and that would suck.
