It had been a relatively short distance to travel on foor for the team. Not many words were excheanged during that time, they just stayed silent and took in the beauty of the city as the mystery man was guiding them to his home. It was so weird to watch a city so alive and so colourful, knowing that there is a war brewing at each corner of the world but it was a much needed 'vacation' for the team if you'd want to call it that. Everyone enjoyed it but most of all, the one who was still blinking around to catch different angles to see the city. To catch glimpses of people talk. A dialect she found really attractive even though she never told that to anyone.
As they all reached the door of a huge building, it was kinda wooden with changes that brought you back to the reality of today. Genji looked at it, reminding him of his once home. The Shimada castle. "Well, this shall be it." He said before knocking on the door, slowly after the door was opened and a woman looked at all of them, the shock in her eyes was visible. "我回來了，我帶了一些公司。我希望他們不會有問題" (I'm back and i brought some company. I expect they won't be a problem?). They had no idea what they were talking about but they just went with it. An enemy of Talon is a friend of theirs at the end of the day. The woman nodded to him and the man turned to look at them. "Well, i suggest you wait in the dining room while i take this whole armory off of me and we can talk over dinner?" he asked and received a nod from the ape.
The lady that let them in guided them to a really big table and they all sat down. The man had gone to his personal headquarters to change his clothes. They either waited silently or a few words were exchanged between them. All of them were busy just observing the place, it called back to ancient Japanese history but still gave the modern vibe that they all have been used too. The table in front of them was big and wooden, on the walls hanged all kinds of paintings. Mostly myths from the history of this beautiful country.
"So quiet... that's weird. Especially for you... Tracer was it?" the man said with a smile. When they looked at him they were greeted with the same man who had just took out more than half a dozen men of Talon. And to be honest, he had scars from probably many fights that he had given but it was nowhere near what they were expecting. A trimmed beard, black short hair and brown eyes. He was wearing normal 'everyday' clothes. "Well..." Lena said lost in thought while looking at him. And the fact that she was speechless got weird looks from all of the team, even from Genji, that's how you know it was serious. "Hm, speechless. I find that weird and i've only known you for roughly an hour." The man sat down next to Lena and then looked at the rest of the team. "And now i can formaly introduce myself. You can call me Fujin." Genji looked at him "Fujin from the God of wind hm?" And Fujin nodded. "Anyone doesnt like Ramen?" he asked and everyone shook their heads. He motioned to another woman and two more showed and brought plates with foor infront of every member. "Looks like you've worked hard for this place.." Angela said while trying to figure out how chop sticks work. "Our clan was always one of the highest in the country. A few ups and downs but with some work over the years. We managed to get back on top and be 'royalty' as some would say." Fujin said as he filled his mouth with Ramen.
"Your gear, it reminds me of Samurai.." Genji looked at Fujin, he didnt have a plate since he can't eat. Which had already been figured so no food had been served to him. "Yes, as a matter of fact i am one of the last Samurai, if not the last. Samurai had been hunted for the past couple of years. Most hunts being succesful. Had quite a lot of assassins on my tail." Fujin explained being almost done with his dish. The rest of it passed quietly, everyone enjoying the authentic Japanese food. "Let's show you to your rooms shall we?" Fujin asked as they followed him.
After giving each and every one of them a room and showing them the place so they are a little more familiar with it he was walking towards Winston's room. But as he walked past Angela's door he decided to pay a visit to her first. Knocking three times on the door was answered by a 'Come in' from the blonde. Her accent did intrigued him to say the least. Fujin opened the door and walked in "So... can i ask where you're from?" he said with a smile while leaning against the wall and she was sitting on her bed for that night. "Switzerland. Was it the accent?" she asked with a smile of her own and he nodded. "And what about you, your name is Japanese but your English are very good." the blonde kept eye contact. "Eh, had to leave country a couple of times cause of the clans needs and errands. And beside's i've done my studiying while i was younger." he explained and she nodded "Then, i shall leave you to it. Goodnight and rest well." he gave a small bow and exited the room.
He walked into winston's room and was greeted by the ape. They both sat down and started discussing. "So... the reason she was here was because Talon have been cutting deals with the clans all around the country. They give everything, money, guns, men... all in exchange for info and control over those locations." Fujin explained while sitting down on the floor cross-legged. Winston was in thought, but two questions rose in his mind. "She mentioned that they had offered the same things to your clan and you refused, why?" the scientist looked the younger man "This war or Crisis if you will. Is bigger than all of us, i want no part in it if i can help it. And let's be real with each other, we know that in the chance that Talon wins, do you really think they will keep all of them around? I don't think so." Winston tilted his head slightly "And what will you do if they win?" he asked "Fight till my last breath." Fujin said sharply and emotionless. Winston had got the idea that he was a tough one, but this was a little beyond his expectations. "And... why do you care if they help the other clans?" he asked Fujin who got up and walked to the door. "Cause whatever other clans do is to get to the top. We are at the top. And whoever helps my enemies become my enemy. Now goodnight and we shall speak again in the morning." With a small bow he walked out.
Few minutes later he was walking towards the end of the hallway that the rooms were lockated and unknown to him, he was being watched and followed. At the end of it he turned right and walked into a big room, at the end of it were located three banner-like papers hung on the wall. But he was standing infront of the one at the right. "Another night, another fight... and a war is brewing right at our doorstep. You know sometimes i feel like im lost or... or im questioning my own choices..." Fujin took a deep breath, the kind that feels your lungs to the point you feel like they are about to burst and slowly let it out short after. "But i quarantee you that while i draw breath i will do everything so this clan remains on top, and your sacrifice doesnt go in vain... i promise you brother.." he put his hand on the banner and slightly let it fall down.
"Is that true?" Said a gentle voice. In any other instance he would turn around to see who it was but her strong british accent gave it away. "Well... yeah i had a brother if that's what you mean." he said as he put his hands on his lower back to rest them while looking at the banners. "I mean all of it.." she took a few steps towards him. Step after step she was now standing next to him, he was standing totally a head taller than her, she used this opportunity to get a better view of the man. "What happened?" she asked genuinely. "Hm.. it all happened 16 years ago... things between the clans were messed up, daily guttings... raids. We got raided, we weren't ready. They killed my mom almost immidiately after they broke in here. My father like the man and leader he was, he took off running, was killed before he could get out of the room. We were outnumbered but each one of us counted as 10 of them. My brother was 18 at the time. He fought, and fought, and fought until the last man. He gave in to his wounds shortly after. I was too young to fight back then. But never again... never." Fujin looked at the ground recalling everything he said in horific details in his head. He tried forgetting that day, but he couldn't. At this point he had given up on the idea of forgetting, he made his peace with it, that day was a part of him. Those events sculpted him into the man he had become. And nothing could change that...
She was at a loss for words for the second time in the same night. This man certainly had his way with her, even though non of them knew it yet. She opened her mouth for about 3 times but no words came out. "I-.. i'm sorry about that love." she said and got a smile from him in return. "It's alright. What about you?" Fujin asked the Brit and she smiled back at him "What about me love?" she asked acting like she didn't know what he meant. "What's that tragic 'something' that has happened to you in your past that made you do what you do?" She shrugged her shoulders "Pfff, what makes ya think something has happened to me?" she slightly punched his arm. "Well, every single one of us who dress up grab weapons and go out there and risk our necks every single day has had something bad happen to him. Bad to say the least." He explained, she still didnt answer and they were both just keeping straight faces while looking in each others eyes. She finally broke and after a good laught she begun. "Alright alright. I was a test pilot for one of Overwatche's project. A plane that would be able to blink through time. When the first test happened the plane malfunctioned and when it blinked through time it affected my DNA. I spent days after that incident blinking throught time and existance, sometimes it was for seconds the minutes, sometimes it was hours and others... days." The tone of her voice had dropped way too much, something that didn't go unnoticed by Fujin. "BUT!" she said and smiled again "My good pal Winston made this lil' bad boy." she tapped the metal part over her chest. "My chronal Accelerator. It's basically an anchor keeping me in the present." She finished and took a big breath, so much talking had her jaw hurting. Also some of her hair had fallen infront of her eyes and she blew it away using her mouth, which Fujin found extremely cute. "By the looks of it we both have some stuff we wish we could forget.." Tracer couldn't agree more. "We should get to sleep, been a tough day for me and im sure it was the same if not worse for you." The man smiled at her as they both walked out of the room. "Ya bet it was luv." she said and he chuckled.
