Decoding Human Emotion

Part 4

                 "Sombra, it is time to get up, get your things and start moving" she groaned as clothing was thrown at her, startling her slumber with Zarya's harsh awakening "Ugghhh cinco minutos más" a pillow was thrown at that "Okay okay!! I'm up!!!" her voice was muffled by the pillow as she sat up, pushing the plush headrest out of her way and picking up the thrown clothing to change into. "Good, the faster you get ready the faster we can get breakfast" the bigger said, satisfied with her waking skills, already dressed and packed to move forward. "How early do you get up anyways?? Do you even sleep?" "You shall never know" she rolled her eyes, walking to the bathroom to slip on her underclothing for her much warmer coat, walking out she could see the other cleaning the place, making sure they had all of their things, once satisfied she stood up hands on hips.

              Sombra grabbed her own things, checking on her gadgets and making sure she had her own things checked off her list, when she was satisfied as well she stood up with her things giving Zarya a nod and heading out the door. Zarya locked the door and grabbed the key making way through the halls and down the stairs to return the key and wave goodbye to the keeper of the hotel, they set off towards the nearest cafe and then they would continue their tiring trek to Overwatch. "Here, we shall eat here" Sombra's eyes trailed up to the flickering sign to a coffee place that surely held some pastries as well as some refreshing cups of joe that she would be delighted to try, trailing behind Zarya as they entered the cozy little cafe, the smell of freshly baked goods wafted through the air as they took a seat in a booth nearest to the window.

             "What may I get you two?" a small waitress asked in clearly broken English, none the less Zarya gave her a soft smile "I will take a regular coffee, no sugar just milk and a muffin" the bigger replied in perfect Russian, the girl nodded and turned to Sombra, who was confused on what language she should use. "Ummm caramel frappe and a muffin as well please" her Russian was just as broken as the girls English, if not even more, but she did learn the language on a whim so she gave herself a pass as the girl nodded seeming to understand her order. "You didn't officially learn Russian before coming here did you?" "No not really, didn't actually care to" "You do realize that makes you stand out as a tourist correct?" "Yeah well Talon isn't the most put together organization believe it or not, besides Reaper couldn't sit down for a second to talk to me, I highly doubt he could learn and then teach me Russian" Zarya raised a brow "What Hot Topic reject is called Reaper??" Sombra slammed her hand down on the table wheezing, "Oh my god! I have to tell him you said that!!!" Zarya smiled "If you wish to".

                "Your meals" a delightfully warm muffin was set before both of them along with a steaming cup of coffee for Zarya and a cold frappe for Sombra, who instantly started sipping on the overly sweet drink giving the waitress a thumbs up which was returned with a smile and slight bow as she took her leave. Shoving the muffin into her mouth hungrily Sombra started her wake on breakfast destruction while Zarya savored her breakfast with methodical bites of her muffin and slow sips of her coffee, "We shall continue quickly after this so savor this while you can, we won't rest for a long while after this" "You are such a buzz kill" "I have to be if I am to be traveling with you" "Like you have to keep track of me" "Yes I do actually" "I-" Sombra cut herself off, the faint glint of red gleaming faintly in the sun caught her attention from a roof top "Mierde- hit the deck!!" she yelled at Zarya, pulling the other down behind the table with all her might as the sound of a sniper rifle sounded off, the glass shattering with the bullets impact as if lodged into the wooden floors.

               "Oh she is going to kill me for this!" "What is going on?!" "Widowmaker, 5'o clock, and her scope has your name on it!!" Zarya's face melted into the stone cold expression of a solider as she looked at Sombra, assessing the situation and ways out. "Would she shoot you?" "If she was given the orders but I highly doubt that-" "Then you talk to her" "What?" "You heard me" "I don't think you understand how Talon works, you are friends until you are no longer needed you see? Her listening to me out of the goodness of her heart is not an option, shes like a literal black widow, she is venomous" Zarya nodded "And right now you look like you have turned sides huh?" Sombra nodded urgently "Then we make break for it" "ARE YOU INSANE??" "I bubble you and me and we make run for the back door" "Okay okay, if your bubble can withstand at least one shot... that will be enough for us to book it I guess" Zarya nodded "Promise you, it is" taking a deep breath Sombra let it out, this was the best option, since Widowmakers headset comes with heat sensors she couldn't just phase her way out, she looked back at Zarya's assuring expression, one filled with certainty and took that as comfort.

             "Three... two... one!!" never had Sombra ran that hard, she heard it before she saw it as she reached the door she could see the bullet ricochet off the bubble surrounding her, popping the force field that protected her as she quickly whipped out her own pistol and shot the knob off running to the other side, Zarya just behind her now as they made way into the back alley. "C'mon! Reaper probably isn't too far if she's here, we gotta go!" she grabbed the bigger's arm and ran, holding out her pistol at every turn in case he were to be there, prepared for the worst outcome as they ran without aim, just wanting to leave the town as fast as possible, running into the streets, guns ablaze as they passed by frightened citizens who cleared out of the two's way. "Shit shit shit!!" she threw a small teleportation device behind a building as another shot rang out, transporting her and Zarya behind the safety of the walls, the bigger stumbling in surprise but Sombra keeping it up as she lead the other behind another building.

                "You could do that the whole time??" "I have very few transporters left okay? I'm saving them up for dire situations!" "And earlier wasn't as dire?" "The door was closed! I can't go through walls!" The other just half way rolled her eyes, grabbing Sombra by the wrist this time, taking lead as she dragged both of them out of the town and into the more barren looking area's of Russia, away from civilization and towards Switzerland, hopefully getting closer to Overwatch and the end of this running and walking and traveling. "Isn't this a bad idea to be out in the middle of the snow as easier targets??" "The faster we leave the farther we are from them, that town is small, we would be found easily, if they think like you then they will be searching for us back there for a while" "right" Zarya let go of her hand as their pace slowed to a jog, walking over a hill which hopefully hid them well enough from the now distant town that they had stayed in.

              As they walked Sombra checked on her devices, plenty of texts from Reaper could be seen across the screen, and one labeled urgent with the bold words in red, 'REPLY OR WE WILL PRESUME YOU WITH THE ENEMY' "Mierde-" Zarya looked over at what the other was cursing at, her mouth a fine line. "You have very untrustworthy friends" "Not really friends amiga" "That is..." "Sad I know, not like I wouldn't turn on them at any moment either, I already went behind their back making that deal with Katya, they are going to want my head for this" Zarya didn't reply to that but she could see how it saddened her that Sombra didn't have a bond with the people around her. "It is fine, I have family that I care for back at home, I am not utterly on my lonesome, I just don't talk to them often is all" she shrugged, it really wasn't a big deal to her, she didn't really care for friends unless they were the business kind, Zarya just nodded, seeming like she still didn't quite understand, but rolled with it anyways and decided not to pester the other about her personal life any longer.

              After hours of walking, and Sombra chattering occasionally, they reached what was in the distance, an abandoned looking barn that seemed good enough for shelter through the night, walking in it was dusty, and some holes wore through the ceiling through time. "This is good enough for tonight" "I kinda miss that hotel" Zarya grunted to that, finding a good place to lay down, trying to make wood comfy is hard no matter what you do. Sombra laid down near her, pulling up her hoody to create some form of a pillow for her head, their things laying down nearby as wind whistled through the holes in the ceiling, annoying Sombra to sleep as the sun set not too long after.
