Shiro | Voltron: LD
action; war and i'm sorry this got away from me
And then, finally, Overwatch. Which came with its own meetings and briefings and responsibilities but--for all intents on purposes, Hana considers it home.
(Due in no small part to the people on the team.)
Watchpoint: Gibraltar had become headquarters for this new iteration of Overwatch, so between NASA and the Garrison in the States and then Busan in South Korea and then finally, Spain, Hana has not only traveled through the galaxy in the last week but she has also effectively traveled the span of the world.
She is so dang tired that she could probably use another vacation already, but there's not a bone or muscle in her body that even feels that exhaustion. Because being out in space, seeing everything that Shiro and the paladins and Allura and Coran do-- it made her want to be at her best for the people she's protecting. They may have the entire universe to defend, but the paladins can rest easy knowing that Hana has Earth covered. By the time she's finally in a meeting room with Shiro and Jack, who'd requested the former's presence for a casual debriefing on what happened in space, she's just rearing to go. She lets Shiro do most of the talking, because he knows more about the finer details of what happened than Hana does. She contributes her very surface-level impression now and then, mostly a comment on the cultures and food and aliens, but-- the rest of the time, she's tapping her fingers on the table, eyes fixed on a real-time incident tracker on a map of the world on the screen.
She has no idea what they're even talking about by the time an alert pops up-- PRIORITY. And then Athena's voice rings in, informing them in that calm AI voice of hers that increased activity has been detected at one of the Omniums in Europe, and that the countries that would immediately be affected by this activity have requested assistance from Overwatch.
Finally. And if it's in Europe, it won't even take them long to get there. Immediately Hana turns to 76, with a look not too unlike that of a child asking their parent if they can go on a roller coaster ride, and the older man can't help but sigh, rubbing at his temples, and gives her the order: "Copy, Athena. Get the dropship fired up. And-- Hana. Suit up, kid."
Hana doesn't even wait for him to finish saying it before she's up from her seat and out the door.
It feels-- amazing, to be with her mech again. To have her pilot suit and her headset on and, soon, to have the controls in her hands. To be with her mech, which is sitting in the bay on standby and which she's also tapping her fingers against in utter eagerness as they await deployment on the drop ship. It's her, 76, Lúcio, Winston, Tracer and Symmetra, all tasked with ensuring the sleepy countryside town nearest the Omnium doesn't get overrun. And, much to Hana's delight, Shiro's there, too. She can't even imagine the conversation that must have taken place for him to have been dragged along here. Or-- maybe he convinced Jack to let him come along. Either way, she's shooting him a look, fire in her eyes, a smirk on her lips as the not-so-distant sounds of the others discussing strategies and status reports persist in the background. ]
I can't wait to get into the fight!
I love it, you're beautiful
He does register what's going on though, it's fairly straight-forward and he's been keeping tabs on what's happening back home no matter how far away he's roaming. He's not surprised when Hana darts out, she's been antsy since she got back but he turns to watch her go and wishes he'd had a chance to say something to her first. Omniums in Europe. She'll be putting her life on the line again. When he turns back - Jack is already looking at him. It's enough. Shiro nods.]
Give me some armor and I'm in.
[He won't call in Black. That's a level of devastation that doesn't go well with towns and populations. But like hell is he going to stand on the sidelines when people are in trouble and he can do something. He gears up and loads onto the dropship with the others, a few quick, tense communications back to the Castle later.
Hana looks like they're about to go to the carnival. He can feel the hunter's pulse in her though, recognizes the battle tension, feels the thunder beat rumble in his own blood. He's never seen her fight in her mecha, not from anything but stream and news feds but she looks right at home. Her smirk draws up one of his own.]
No sense in making your arrival back on Earth boring.
no subject
Yup! Try and keep up, okay?
[ She winks at him, even knowing full well what Shiro's capable of in and out of a mech, by now. Words are on the tip of Hana's tongue, and lips part to say something when Athena's voice rings through again, alerting them to their ETA. Five more minutes.
Shifting her gaze back to Shiro, she tempers her expression into something more--prepared, more like a soldier going into battle now than a teenager going to a carnival. ]
I'd better suit up soon. [ Then, instinctively, and mostly hidden away from the others behind her mech, she reaches for his hand, and her voice drops soft. ] Be careful when we're out there. Don't--go too far, okay, Shiro?
[ She still remembers what happened last time they fought side-by-side, and she has to wonder if it'll happen again, if something in Shiro will just click at some point. ]
no subject
It doesn't go away.
But it doesn't swallow him either. The ETA is warning enough to prepare and he wants to say something to Hana. Because - there's never anything routine about a fight and it only takes one shot. One moment of bad luck. One surprise. Her hand wraps around his and she's the one talking instead and -
he remembers. He remembers what he'd done the last time they'd fought together. He doesn't pretend to misunderstand her worlds. The heat is already seeping through his blood, snaking down his veins. His mind is already shifting.
But her voice is soft and her face is there in front of him and his lips soften into a smile that's real for her as he ignores everyone else and wraps an arm around her to pull her close against him. Filling himself up with the way she feels. The glass shard clarity his mind always gives him at times like this is suddenly a blessing.]
I won't go anywhere you can't reach me. [He promises it. Four minutes. He dips his head, searching for her mouth with his and his is all fire and hunger and fierceness.]
no subject
like he didn't even realize she was there, or who she was.
And if that happened now, after all this time and after everything, it would hurt, Hana realizes. But she also realizes she would take a deep breath and try her best, anyway, fight alongside Shiro, for Shiro, because that's what soldiers do even when they're hurting.
Soldiers protect the ones they love no matter what.
Hana only spares a second or two of thought for the others and whether or not they might be watching before she decides, screw it. Her hand squeezes his as he pulls her in close, and she leans her head against his chest, even armored as it is. She takes a deep breath, one that's full of him, and for the longest time she doesn't let go of that breath. Not until he makes his promise, not until she looks up and finds him closing the distance between them. She meets him halfway with closed eyes and a kiss that's as much urgency and fire as his. ]
no subject
Three minutes. He breaks away from the kiss, rests his forehead briefly against hers as he lets her settle back on her feet. And then he gives her a gentle squeeze, as tender as the kiss was fierce, and lets her go. Offers a smile that reaches his eyes.]
I'll see you on the other side of this, Hana Song. Let's go kick some ass.
no subject
Hana is pretty sure she can hear Jack clearing his throat from around the corner or the other side of her mech.
She doesn't care.
She lifts the hand that's still holding on to his, and gives it one final squeeze before she lets go and lets it drop to her side-- but not without giving the same hand a fist bump on the way. The fire in her eyes is as fierce as the kiss had been when she looks up at him, filled with his feelings and encouragement.
Two minutes. ]
Mm. Let's shoot for a new high score! See you later, Takashi.
[ And with that, she steps away taking a few steps backward until she's at the back of her mech. Then, with one last look at Shiro, she smiles, and then leaps into the open hatch of her MEKA unit. Activation has the machine whirring, lighting up parts of it in a cyan blue and Hana emerges behind the reinforced glass of the cockpit, seizing her controls with her hands, her bunny logo flashing on the HUD.
Athena's voice warns: one minute. 76 calls for a round-up, for everyone to get ready; Hana approaches the door. The dropship has been lowering in altitude, and beyond the glass of the door that will lower and turn into a ramp for them once it's landed, they can see a village in a state of chaos: buildings ablaze, civilians running for their lives or hiding, omnics running rampant through the streets.
Hana's fingers tighten around her controls. If she hadn't been wearing gloves they'd all see her knuckles turning white from how strong her grip on them is.
This is just like home. ]
no subject
And then he lifts his head and makes eye contact with anyone watching, his own eyes steady and unwavering. The message is clear. He's not backing down or hiding what he feels is his place with Hana.
One minute to go though and its time to let everything else settle to the bottom of his conscious and concentrate. He joins the group that's going to be onfoot, listens as 76 runs down the objectives and what intel they've got. It's been - a very long time since he's taken orders instead of given them but he can follow them just fine. He trusts 76's judgement and he knows the team is solid even if he's not really a part of it and knows he won't be able to pick up on their automatic cues. He checks the gun they've given him, just to get the feel for it. It gives him some long range capability even though he knows short range is his strength. And then the drop ship touches down, the ramp extends and the heavy tanks go out first. Shiro watches Hana's mech for those seconds and then its his turn and he's out and moving. Drop ships are obvious targets. And he's always done better taking the fight to the enemy, following close behind the more heavy hitters and picking off distant targets and providing cover until they're close enough to things to go hot.]
no subject
Tracer's the first one down the ramp, because of course she is. All they hear is the chipper voice saying, "Eat my dust!" before she's gone in a twinkle. Then it's Winston and Hana. The gorilla leaps forward, crushing a few omnics upon a heavy landing, and then his Tesla canon arcs energy through the air and takes down omnics within range, overloading their systems with electricity. Hana boosts forward, just a quick burst, putting her into the thick of the fight, distracting the omnics from the rest of the team so they can concentrate on dealing real damage as she lays down suppressing fire with the fusion cannons of her mech.
In just another moment or two, Tracer returns in another blink, joining the fray with her own firepower as she reports back: "Got a whole lot of civilians trapped in a building by debris. Just past these blokes here. Building doesn't look the slightest bit sound, the way it's looking."
Hana's answer is immediate. ]
We've got to get them out of there. I'm pushing forward.
[ Because, once upon a time, she was one of those people trapped in a helpless situation. ]
no subject
He still hears the roaring in the back of his ears and knows that its not half as cold as his body is telling him it is.
It doesn't interfere with his movement though or his concentration and it helps, a great deal, that their team is so small he can keep an eye on most of them and doesn't have to worry about his hair trigger reflexes because of that.
And when Hana pushes forward he takes a knee and starts systematically picking off the targets that are in her way, concentrating on the ones that are flanking dangers, trusting her to clear the main path and following close, providing covering fire and a rear watch until they get to the building. They're going to need a safe corridor to get the civilians out through but first they have to get to the civilians in the first place. Once they do, Shiro can put his Galra hand to work.]
no subject
Still, the fire is heavy, and even though they get quite far with the push, Hana slows, eyes darting around her HUD. Her mech has taken some damage, not to alarming levels but-- ]
Lu, gimme some heals!
[ With a motion, she activates the defense matrix of her mech, and her fingers click rapidly against controls to target and shoot down incoming projectiles while Lúcio rides a wall down to D.Va, boosting his healing aura to help recover some of the damage dealt to her mech, and filling the team with a bit of energy, almost like their lesser wounds are being healed.
...Overwatch is a weird bunch of extraordinary individuals with a weird bunch of abilities, but it works.
Now, with her mech in better condition, Hana can continue to push forward, keep pressing on with her defense matrix up to neutralize the long-range attacks being thrown at them by the omnics' own heavy hitters. Soon enough, Tracer informs them that they're coming up on the building-- it's the one with the roof that's collapsed into itself, and not at all hard to spot. Chunks of concrete, wood, rocks, what have you pile around what would have been the entrance. Winston drops his protective barrier around the team to shield them from fire as they tackle the current objective. First thing's first, Hana turns to them: ]
Everyone okay?
[ And then: ] What do we do about all the rubble? We have to get those people out.
no subject
He knows its not. That it's not. But his skin still twitches every time he gets caught in a wave of it.
It's also insanely useful and Shiro wonders if there's any way to find a way to integrate it into the lions.
That's for later though and he keeps pace, half an eye on Hana's mech as they move. She's -
she's nothing short of amazing and even if he knew she was top notch before, her reflexes have to be an insane level of taut to be able to pull of some of the shots and defenses he sees her raking up. At the building though he steps up. Heavy fire power here will bring everything down on the civilians inside. Shouldering his gun, he lets the Galra tech that's been all but humming at him all this time activate, blazing a dark inverted purple. His eyes narrow as he scans the structure, picks out the weak points. They have earthquakes fairly commonly in Japan and things are built with that in mind...]
Got it.
[His hand, and arm, can move horrendous amounts of weight and he takes out the obstructions that won't weaken the structure, enough to make a human sized hole. But that's not all his hand does and he can't just dust everything without bringing it all down. He lays his palm against the metal slab in the center and lets his hand start to heat, melting a slowly growing hole through the metal without damaging its sides or edges to keep it from losing its support. It's going to be slower than simply punching through - but its also safer for the people trapped in side. He doesn't ask. He trusts that Hana and her team will keep him covered until he's through.]
no subject
76 gives the order: cover Shiro's back as he's working, make sure nothing gets through. ]
Roger!
[ Symmetra positions herself at the entrance, ready to reinforce the passageway Shiro creates with her hard-light tech, ready to drop her teleporter to safely route the civilians through to the dropship; Lúcio prepares, too, to provide any medical assistance the civilians might need.
The others, in the meantime, push forward, giving the team more room to work, but Hana stays close to the others, providing a last line of defense for them. Because like hell is anything going to get past her and to Shiro and the others, and to the people inside. ]
no subject
He still wishes he could ask Hana, just to hear her say she's got his back. Except this isn't his helmet and he can't switch to a private channel with just the blink of an eye. He's not even sure if the earpieces have private channels. But she's there. He can feel her and the bulk of her mech. She won't let anything get through.
His hand finally melts through to the other side of the metal and it lets him get his fingers in position. It's easier then because he can use the heat of his hand like a knife and cut a hole out of the metal sheet with the flat of his hand. There's still resistance but its faster than just making a hole. He can hear the explosions behind him, hear the gunfire, feel the way the ground shakes sometimes but he keeps his hand steady and his curving cut controlled. Too much and he'll weaken the entire metal plate and he's pretty sure its the only thing holding up this part of the building's front. Too small and not everyone will be able to get out. He narrows his eyes and focuses on just completing the circle.]
Two minutes.
no subject
Copy that. I've got you covered, Shiro.
[ And if he spares a moment to look back over his shoulder, if even just for a second, he would see the profile of her mech, and he would see her looking at him from behind the tinted glass of her cockpit. But only for a moment, before she turns back towards the battle before her. ]

He grits his teeth and keeps going though. He's not controlled by his instincts, or his past. People need him in the moment - and he trusts Hana and by extension, her team.
He'd going to need a pulse shower for his back though when this is through.
His hand completes the circle and he sinks his fingers into the metal to pull it clear, hefting it to the side where none of the team are. Faces, pale and scared and covered in dirt, peer back out at them and he offers a tight smile before stepping aside and letting the others move in to take over.]
We're in.
[And then he's moving forward to crouch down near Hana's mech, using it for cover and slinging the gun off his shoulder to help with the covering fire.]

Nice job!
[ She can't pretend to understand what might be going through in his head. But she knows enough to be aware that there must be something, if last time had been any indication. But this time she feels much more ready for it, more equipped to handle it or defend him if necessary and he seems in control, for now. Still, even in the thick of the fight, she'll ask him: ]
How're you doing?
no subject
It's the reason he can play defense in Black - but put him on the ground in a fight and his first move is always to attack first and fast.
The fact so much of this fight is at a distance helps. He's used to close range. Long range like this keeps the hackles from going up. He lines up another shot and takes it - and then his eyes lift to her for just a second. There's something very, very tightly controlled in them. If it were anyone else, at all, he'd blow it off. Instead he focuses back on the fight - but he still answers:]
I'd rather be in close range.
[Which isn't saying he should be. Or that that would be a good thing. Just that the distance that gives him security is also uncomfortable because its a leash.]
no subject
[ Not entirely clued in as to Shiro's internal conflict, but definitely sensing that he's tense; although the most Hana can do at the moment is chalk it up to being in the thick of a fight. But, even then, she has to agree-- her fusion cannons do much more damage at close range. In a different situation she would be darting around the field with her boosters, getting up close and personal with the bad guys.
Symmetra exits the building, having reinforced enough of it to be confident that several people can move through, and then patches into the comm channel.
"My teleporter is ready to be deployed, but I cannot do so in the confines of that room. I will place it around this corner. You must keep the path clear for the civilians to move through. Lucio will be at the rear."
It's Winston's voice that rings in, next: "I'll fall back and drop the barrier when they get out. It'll protect them from fire."
It's only a second after that, that Winston leaps from where he and 76 had been holding ground to where Hana and Shiro are. "You two, suppress the choke point with 76."
Hana shoots Shiro a look. ]
Well, you wanted to get closer? Quick, grab on to my mech and I'll boost us over!
no subject
His arm all but hums with energy, crackling up through his bones there. Wanting action that isn't squeezing a trigger from a distance.]
Go.
[He says it the second he's secured. Put him somewhere that he can do damage and let him go. It's what he was created for.]
tmw u fall asleep while writing a tag
Boosters engaged!
[ and takes them off the ground. Not too high up, just enough to be able to see the battlefield ahead of them, get a clearer, bigger picture, and enough that there's a sizable thump on the ground when they reach their new designated location. There, 76 holds the fort, nerves steeled and he gives nothing but a grunt to acknowledge their arrival.
They're in much closer range, now, to be more devastating in their attack. It's a choke point beneath a bridge that goes between two buildings over the road they're on, and omnic are pouring in, trying to break through to reach the more densely populated areas of the town. Hana waits until Shiro is back on his feet to do anything, but before he goes, she turns, looks at him-- really looks at him, even with the glass acting as a barrier between them, and luckily the cockpit doesn't really cover her arms, so she reaches out for him. She reaches out for his Galra arm. ]
I'm right here, Shiro. Don't forget.
[ Don't lose sight of her. Don't forget her. Don't leave her behind. ]
as long as you didn't get drool on the keypad its all good ;)
He drops to the ground as soon as Hana lands, feeling the slap of it up through the soles of his boots and feeling the ghost echo of a hundred other times, a hundred other landings on packed dirt or steel plate flooring. 76 has the choke point on lock down but Shiro's seen spots that can be shored up, that can be closed down to redirect the flow so that the omnic are forced into a funnel instead of streaming down. One man can't do it - but one man holding the line while the two of them work together -
Something rises and falls in his ears and he knows its the roar of a dead crowd, anticipating his next move. Tastes the cold metal of recycled air and old blood against his teeth.
And he smells flowers, light as springtime, faint as a breeze. His lips shift even if the tight lines don't leave his face and his head turns to find her, Hana... she's worried about him. He'd scared her last time. He's sorry.
he'd like to promise he'll never scare her again - but he can't. Not when he sometimes still scares himself.
The purple lines are already glowing on his arm, lighting up his hand in matrix. That's Galra. He doesn't want to touch her with that filth. But there's no time to shift his body and he raises it, despite its encased horror and the fingertips touch her palm. Gentle. Lingering for just a moment. She's worried about him and he can't tell her not to.]
I won't go where you can't find me.
[The voice is gravel and rough, something full of raw screaming that never stopped and cold empty cells in the dark. He means the promise. He's not sure there's anywhere he can go anymore that she won't be able to find him. His hand leaves her and he hoists himself back onto her mecha, securing himself in a crouch, Galra hand on metal to secure his spot. He looks back at 76.]
We're going to narrow their range. Can you hold here? [He knows before Jack even answers and he leans close to the glass covering Hana's dome even though she can hear him just fine over the earpiece. Points to a spot where several of the buildings have crumbled together and the omnics are using it as an easy bridge to try to pincer 76s position.] Can you get us up there to cut off that route?
no subject
But she's not afraid of it--not like last time. This time she wants to be the anchor that pulls him back to shore if he gets ripped away. So she manages a smile for him when he reaches back, and for all the uncertainty that the way his arm lights up brings, there's all of the certainty she has in him.
Her hands return to the controls of her mech after that, and she listens into Shiro and 76's quick exchange. "Already on it, kid," is 76's answer to Shiro's question, and Hana, even in the middle of battle, can't help but roll her eyes at the older man. And then Shiro's leaning in, and she leans a little, too, even in spite of the fact that they've got earpieces, and her gaze shifts to where he's pointing. The great thing about her mech is that for its size and appearance, it's actually rather lightweight, and it lets her dart around the battlefield like a rabbit. So she gives him a confident nod, and a confident, D.Va kind of smile, and her fingers tighten on the controls. ]
Of course I can! Just hang on tight. We're gonna bunny hop over.
[ And then she eases into the boost once more, moving them up into the air and towards the collapsed buildings. On the way over, Hana surveys the activity below, and-- Shiro's right. Getting up here is going to make things a lot easier on 76's position and, in turn, clear things up where the civilians are. Good thinking, Shiro.
As they approach, Hana brings up her defense matrix once more, using it to cover their landing, make sure that they aren't already compromised by the time they make it. God only knows how it is that she's maneuvering the movement of her mech while targeting and taking care of the incoming hits. And then she's careful to land without making too much of an impact, no matter how tempting it is to dive bomb into a clump of omnics. ]
Alright, game face: on!

Take the ones that are coming up, I've got the ones that are already here.
[He trusts her ability completely. He's seen her work. She's earned that Number One title. A half second, just a quick glance at her over his shoulder and a quicker smile. One that is entirely his - but one that's laced with something dark and fanged too. This is what he does. It's what he was made for.
And then he's moving, fast, and getting himself right in the middle of a cluster of the machines. Because his strength is close combat and the closer and tighter the enemy, the easier his part of the fight is.]
