Fire Burns for a Reason

Chapter 2: Encounter

Layla rolled her eyes at Junkrat's behavior, not really amused on his attitude. "Alright Layla, let's take you on a tour of the base." Soldier says and walks out with Layla following behind him. Tracer smiled, "She's quite adorable! Don't you think Hana?" She says with a gleeful smile. Before Hana said anything, Junkrat yelled, "Adorable? Ya need yer glasses check!" Junkrat yelled, cackling like a madman. Roadhog rolled eyes and shook his head. Tracer frowned, "Junkrat! Be nice to her! She's just got here!" She says back and crossed her arms, "I don't give a shit!" He cackled more and runs off, Roadhog follows behind. Meanwhile, Soldier was showing Layla, until Junkrat pops up and walked up to Soldier, "Old man!" He called out.

"What is it Junkrat?" Soldier says to him. "I'll show shelia around! Roadie is gonna help me!" Junkrat cackled. Soldier groaned and looked at Layla. She shrugged her shoulders. He looked at the junkers, "No. I know you act Junkrat." He says. "What!? I don't act that bad! Do I act badly Roadhog?" He asked his tall friend. Roadhog silently stared at Junkrat, a groan came from the skinny junker, "Okay, I act up a lil bit. Come on Old Man let me do it!!!" Junkrat begged. Soldier was already getting a headache from his begging, "Fine! Layla, your room is between Tracer's and Hana's. Their names are on the door." Soldier said, rubbing his temples slowly. Layla nodded, "Yes sir." She says. Soldier looked at Junkrat again and walked back to the meeting room. Junkrat grinned at Layla with a wide smile, "Okay pipsqueak, follow me!" He says and starts walking. Layla internally groaned and followed him.

Junkrat was rambling about what's on his mind for the pass 30 minutes, Layla made a vivid layout of the place in her head. Junkrat stopped, "Oi Roadie, where's the pipsqueak at?" He asked. Layla was right next to him and Junkrat looked down at her, "Oh there ya 're! You're so small it's hard to see ya!" He cackled at her. "Whatever Peg-Leg." Layla says to him. Junkrat was about to walk again until he looked at her, "Peg-Leg!? PEG-LEG!? Ya didn't just call me that!" He glared at her. "I just did dumbass." She replied with her hands in her pockets. He growled at her, "Listen 'ere brat, nobody gets away with callin' me that!" He giggled out. "I just did." She started walking off, "Oi pipsqueak! Where ya goin'?" He yelled after her. "Fuck off Peg-Leg looking bastard." She yelled back and went to the training room. Junkrat growled before laughing like a madman, "Pipsqueak...is on me list! Come on Roadie!" Junkrat ran the opposite away. Roadhog groaned and followed him.

When Junkrat says 'list' it means he's going to tease them, but in this case, he's going to bully Layla. Layla rolled her eyes at the clueless junker, "What the hell is wrong with him?" She muttered. "Junkrat's crazy." McCree said from behind her. "The fuck? You're McCree right?" She asked him. He nodded, "That's right darlin'. But seriously, Junkrat and Roadhog are mentally unstable here. It's usually Junkrat that gets in trouble." He explains and twirled his gun around, cocked it back, and shot at a training robot that was 20 feet from him. "Wait, when did you get here? I saw you in the Meeting room few minutes ago." She says. "When you and Soldier left, I came in here since I was bored. Usually I practice my aimin' on the bots." He explained. Layla took note on Junkrat's appearance: dirty and messy. 'Who the hell carries a damn tire on their back without breaking their own back?' She thought.

Junkrat and Roadhog was outside again, messing with explosives, but that's mainly Junkrat's job. A cackle came from his lips as he saw fire from the explosive, "Ahhh....fire is the best when it comes to mayhem!" He giggled and jumped around like a frog. Roadhog shook his head and muttered 'idiot' whike watching Junkrat. The explosive man took not on Layla's appearance: small and clean. 'Pipsqueak 'as a gun on her. That's it?! Sheila is weak!' He giggled at the thought and plants another explosive 'Pipsqueak lookin' cute.' He thought and froze. "Wha' the fuck?!" He says. Roadhog yelled, "Jamison!" Junkrat saw how close he was and quickly backed off. The explosive went off. Roadhog went to Junkrat, "You're distracted." He pointed out. Junkrat rolled his eyes, "I ain't distracted! You're distracted!" He yelled and crossed his arms like a pouting child. 'Did I just thought Pipsqueak is cute? Naaaaah!' Junkrat thought again and goes back to exploding his inventions that he made.
