Sombra tries to appear heartless, and she really can be, the woman isn’t a ball of fluff and kindness, but she really does give a damn about the people Talon has fucked over. Amélie and Siebren have take up most of her concern, and she does plan to get them out of Talon or take them with her when she burns that place to the ground. Once she’s done with Talon and gotten everything she needs, she’s erasing them. But she doesn’t want to leave people like them to flounder in the aftermath if they survive her destruction. She gives a damn about the people who didn’t deserve Talon’s cruelty and conditioning. If she can find them a safe place to rehabilitate if they need it and get them new identities, perfect. She’s on it. And yeah, Amélie scares her a bit, but she’s caught some glimpses of the woman she used to be beneath the cruel and unfeeling persona. Moira’s work wasn’t 198748% successful. Either Amélie has undone some of it on her own or it didn’t take completely and she’s been hiding it. Either way, Sombra doesn’t think she’s a lost cause. Aside from the two of them, everyone else can go to hell.

Once she and Amélie start to set aside some of their differences and Sombra reads up on all the shit they did to her, she tries to be a little nicer and less annoying to her. She’s still a pest, that’s just her nature, but she doesn’t needle the woman as much. The lessening death threats are a good sign in her books. Maybe the woman is warming up to her or maybe she sees that Sombra is settling down and has no need of scaring her into submission or maybe she has just stopped caring. Sombra doesn’t know, but she’ll take what she can get.

Despite her words in the past, I don’t think Amélie would actually leave Sombra behind. In the beginning, she would have, probably, but after Sombra starts being a little more decent to her and treating her like a person rather than the unfeeling weapon that she’s supposed to be, I think she’d do what she could to make sure Sombra got out alright. Got out alive, at least. Whether she was injured or not was out of her control.

After a while, Sombra would just walk into Amélie’s room without permission, bag of nail products in hand and probably some junk food and just plop down on the woman’s couch, pat the seat next to her, and not give her a choice in getting her nails done. Threats were made, but Sombra refused to leave in the end. Amélie would have to get over it. It wasn’t so bad after a few times and she began to look forward to it.

Amélie would eventually start doing the same to Sombra, waltzing into her quarters without asking after Sombra told her Amélie had been keyed into Sombra’s security system. Sombra didn’t think she’d ever actually come over, and the first time Amélie invited herself in, she caught Sombra fiddling with her back to get the tech plugged back into the ports on her spine and the protective casing over that. She looked exhausted, a bit jittery, and her motions were sluggish and weighted. That’s the first and only time Sombra ever seriously threatened her and the only time Amélie has ever seen Sombra look truly terrified of someone or something. Amélie wasn’t to talk about it with anyone. No one could know the way to really incapacitate her was to damage or remove the shit Sombra has literally wired into her spine. She can’t get around for very long or very far without needing to sit and catch her breath or she just doesn’t keep going at all; she’s too slow and everything feels too heavy. Damage or modification to your spine tends to have an affect on your mobility; Sombra didn’t have the problem until she had all of this hardware stuffed into her. On top of it, the constant stream of data and visuals/audio captures is silenced, and the lack of noise and information is disorienting. It makes it hard for her to focus for a while after until she gets used to it or gets her shit plugged back in.

Our joke about Cams girls for Talon to recruit people is still stuck in my head, and now I want them to go shopping together or helping each other get ready for fancy events...or for something like that.

They probably wouldn’t really think anything of it at first, just helping a gal out to get ready for a gala or something, but at some point, they’d see the other in their new gown or something and just sort of freeze, forgetting to breathe for a moment because what the hell, when have they looked like this? Sombra would ruin the moment for Amélie by whining that her zipper won’t go up or that her spanks are riding up, Amélie would be too classy to say or do anything that would snap Sombra out of her stupor aside from snapping her fingers in front of her or something bc pay attention you dumb ass. lol

Amélie wouldn’t be as dense or reserved about her realization as Sombra. She has no one waiting for her now, and no reason to not finally move on. Sombra, on the other hand, would probably think about it a handful of times and stop herself because shit, that’s a horrible idea and it’s a miracle that Amélie is showing any emotion now, let alone feeling anything for anyone.

Amélie would be the one to probably deadpan and say ‘I’m in love with you dumbass,’ but less crass maybe. XD Which, Sombra is an idiot an just sort of stares at her because what the fuck when did this happen???? You...what? Hold up. What happened to letting me die on a mission?

She is very quickly told to shut up, or forced to shut up when Amélie just like, holds her still and kisses her senseless, which does the trick and Sombra is very very quiet afterward. Stunned, not upset or anything. She’s just not sure what to do with the situation. If Amélie looked at all worried that Sombra wasn’t on board, Sombra would quickly kiss her cheek or something to reassure her that that’s not it, she’d just an idiot and processing this information.

After that, they’re both cuddly little shits.

Sombra will definitely paint or sketch things for Amélie as gifts, just images of Amélie’s country or of Amélie herself and how Sombra sees her. No one has to know Sombra enjoys painting and has a knack for it, and no one has to know that Sombra delights in seeing Amélie blush when she receives one of them. I’m not 100% sure if Amélie has anything similar other than dancing, which I’d imagine Sombra would watch her practice and sketch it out because how in the hell is anyone this graceful and hot damn those are good lines for her to put on paper.

Ride or die after they get their shit together. They defend the other from the others if it appears like one of them is fucked. Sombra argues that the woman is heartless enough, no need to break her beyond repair and make her useless (with 37486183 apologies later but fuck she couldn’t stand to see Amélie like she used to be again and in pain). Amélie would defend her work to keep her out of trouble because while Sombra is an annoying little shit, she does get the job done and gets it done efficiently. She’ll try to sound like she’s eating lemons to admit it to play the part.

As soon as Sombra’s done with Talon, she and Amélie grab Siebren and gtfo of there before the place blows up. None of them want Talon to continue on, so, out they go. If it means they’re on the run for a while, so be it. At least they have each other and know how to defend themselves, hide, and what to look out for if something isn’t right.
