She can already see her lover fall into deep thought, those wheels in her head turning, imagining different scenarios, thinking of the million terrible things that could have happened. And, all things considered, yes it was bad. She was bound and gagged for an extensive amount of time, the ropes leaving a sizable bruise around her wrists, arms, and legs- luckily those faded away before coming here. She made sure she was as presentable as possible, but eventually she just got tired and wanted to come home.

“Oh..? Only like..? I suppose I’ll take that for now.” Sombra laughs softly at her comment, the playful banter a refreshing surprise in the moment.

“I don’t mind waking up to go in with you, it will be a nice change of pace.” And they would get to spend all day together, of course. It will be nice to be within eyeshot of one another all day after spending so long apart. “Then you can do your examination there if you have some time..? With all your gear and stuff there it should be quick.” Then they could have a more personal examination when they returned home~

But then this new sensation, her lips pressed up against her skin, trailing up the inner expanse of her arm, was definitely welcome and she hums softly in response, a fond expression on her features. Her heart flips with each new kiss, unsurprisingly her body craves a gentle and loving touch after months of being alone and on the run. She takes a deep breath in an attempt to slow her heart, her scent was comforting and she just wanted to be close and never part.

As soon as the doctor moves forward, teasingly ghosting just a breath away from her own lips, Sombra grins, eyes meeting her gaze. She wastes no time in leaning forward to press their lips together, her eyes closing, her free hand coming up to gently cup her cheek. She had missed her so much.. 

A moment passes and she pulls away slowly, keeping their foreheads connected with a small smile.

Everything about this moment was perfect. The blonde was already swooning over the simple ‘Hey’ that comes from the other woman. Oh gosh how she’s missed the sound of her voice.

And the hug. The hug. Angela didn’t know just how much she desperately craved physical attention until this very moment. It still felt too good to be true, but it was. Sombra was home and hopefully it was for good this time. This also meant that Angela could finally sleep peacefully at night knowing that the other woman was okay. She wouldn’t have to bury herself in her work as a distraction anymore, or turn down social events just to sit at home and wait for a simple text. 

‘I’m here’.

The doctor could feel tears welling up in her eyes and for a few seconds she squeezes her partner just a little tighter. There really wasn’t any need for Angela to be crying right now, but she was just so overwhelmed with positivity that she just couldn’t control herself. The tears flowed freely down her face as Sombra apologizes to her and pulls back a bit to look at her face. 

The possessive side of Angela wanted to go into medic mode and examine every inch of her lover to see what kind of wounds she came home with. There was clearly a new scar she had on display and it took every ounce of control inside the woman to not reach out and touch it. That would be a conversation for later. Right now wasn’t the time. Instead she just shakes her head when she hears Sombra’s apology and leans her head to the side to enjoy the other woman’s gentle touch. Angela’s own hands lightly trail up the other’s arms until she reaches her wrists and wraps around them. It was her own silent way of saying ‘don’t let go’. The touch was nothing but innocent and yet it made the butterflies inside of her go wild. 

While the blonde might have felt hurt and scared finding that dreadful note and seeing some of Sombra’s possessions missing from the house, she would always forgive her. Time and time again she will always find room to forgive. Perhaps some would consider it a sort of toxic relationship. That Sombra took advantage of Angela’s loyalty to do whatever she wanted. And if that were the case then consider Angela a fool, but she knows the other woman like the back of her hand now. Their relationship worked because they were patient with each other.

For the most part.

“You did what you had to do. I understand, don’t worry. It’s over now, though. Come on, let’s get you inside. Are you hungry? Thirsty? Do you need anything at all?” Excuse the woman for the fast words and rambling nonsense, but there was so much to catch up on and it felt like there was such little time to do so. Even if Sombra was home right now, that doesn’t guarantee she won’t be gone in another few months. Or weeks. Or maybe even days. 

Upon her words, she quickly walks into the building, her eyes taking in the familiar surroundings before she turns to glance back at Angela just as she closes the door behind them. In an instant her shoulders seem to drop, her entire body relaxing as she moves to put her bag down on the table nearby. This was a safe place, her mind and body both knew that, she didn’t have to have her guard up or glance over her shoulder ever few seconds.. she could just exist. 

“I’m not hungry or thirsty, I am okay.” She says with a shake of her head, she hadn’t had much an appetite for some time now. Besides.. she already had exactly what she needed now, “Please.. do not worry yourself over me.” 

She was good at that, caring for others, worrying over her safety. It was something she had never been familiar with, someone who cared what happened to her, someone who would worry for her safety. It was easy to be reckless, it was easy to be destructive when no one gave a shit, but now.. she had someone else to thing of. It was a big change after being alone for so long, after only being worried about doing what she wanted, with her looks, her skills, and not a drop of loyalty to anyone who sauntered across her path. 

When Angela walked into her life, needless to say it was a surprise. A small dare as a joke turned into each of them genuinely looking at one another, slowly but surely they learned to enjoy one another’s company. It was unconscious really, they drifted together and found that surprisingly.. they really meshed together well. Angela was forgiving but she wasn’t a doormat, kind but firm in not taking any of the hacker’s bullshit. She’d absolutely change the game, changed everything, and in turn, Sombra pushed away those habits and found comfort in her embrace.

“I am just happy to be home, happy to see you. I’ve missed you so much. I never stopped thinking of you the entire time..” She cuts herself off, afraid that it may be a little much, slowly a grin spreads across her features. 

Even when she’d been purposefully captured and endured weeks of torture, she just kept thinking. Get out and get to her.. that was a conversation better set for never, Angela had worried enough.

She’s barely recovered from the embarrassment when Sombra pulls her away to a more private corner, as if being hidden would shield them from being heard, as well. Of course, her gesture for silence tells she knows better.

Flam just grins and sets her hand on the woman’s shapely hips, kissing her without making a noise, as much as she’d like to. It’s only a moment of reprieve, anyway, and sort of a covert middle finger to Reaper and Talon’s dumb rules. “No relationships”, hah, and what are they going to do to stop them? Their brainwashing drugs don’t work on Flamia, and Sombra is too precious to undergo their treatments… at least, she seems to think so.

And it’s a good thing they’re quiet, anyway, for a soft scraping noise - rubber on metal - grabs Flamia’s attention and tightens her muscles. She parts of an inch, lifting a finger as if asking her partner to wait, and wordlessly nods towards the perceived noise.

Oh, it would seem that the hacker was lazy, maybe a little entitled, a procrastinator, too smart for her own good.. but she got the job done, any job, and she didn’t ask too many questions (she already knew all the answers anyway), so she pretty much did whatever she wanted. She had made herself indispensable during her years here, and she was all too aware of it, she took advantage of it pretty much every opportunity she got.  

Relationships weren’t allowed between members, they weren’t Sombra’s thing anyway, and before now she wouldn’t ever call it ‘that’ anyway. But.. she could consider whatever this was with Flamia the closest thing to the actual thing.
