#Junkrat is Roadhog's rock

[xmoonlitxdreamx]

Finally finished this longer comic I've been working on! 😵 The theme is Junkrat & Roadhog watching the movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (?????). Worked hard this, so I hope you enjoy...!

Notes for people who haven't watched this movie:

cover is based on a DVD cover for the movie (which is the one i used to watch)

The title is a quote by Marilyn Monroe's character Lorelei Lee, where she says "I just love finding new places to wear diamonds" after seeing a diamond tiara for the first time

On pages 3~4, they're watching the opening number from the movie, "Two Little Girls from Little Rock"

On page 5, they're talking about the character Francis Beekman (aka "Piggy"), an old rich married man who controls a diamond mine. He's courting Lorelei, while Lorelei is also stringing him along because she wants his wife's diamond tiara (???)

panel 5 on page 5 is a reference to the fact that Lorelei calls her boyfriend "Daddy" in the movie (???)

Page 6 panel 1 - theyre watching a gag where lorelei gets stuck in a cruise window

Page 6 panel 2 - the musical number "When Love Goes Wrong, Nothing Goes Right"

Page 6 panel 3 - the musical number "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend"

page 7: Dorothy Shaw is Jane Russell's character in the movie. Lorelei & Dorothy are kind of a duo of opposites, with Lorelei being a dumb blonde mainly interested in money, and Dorothy being a snarky brunette who falls in love easily.

on page 8, Junkrat is singing his own version of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best friend"

♡I DIG YOU♡

Not my art

On their way back from a mission with a ragtag bunch of miscreants

Sloane: "so you and roadhog are just- always together?" Points between junkrat and roadhog

Junkrat: "yeeee-up! Do you ever see us apart?" Grinning at Sloane as he fiddles with a bomb he brought along.

Sloane: "well, what about right now?" Rocking on their feet

Junkrat: stammering because he just realized he's not with hog at the moment. "oi, we gotta go! I've gotta get back to hog!" Starts hobbling faster towards the ship.

Niran: chuckling lightly. "Just don't ask if they're anything more than just always together, I don't believe he understands the implications."

Y/n: "don't prod Niran, it's rude." Smiling at their group as they walk back towards the ship

Rein: heartily laughing. "Ah, the youth and their different look on everything, how refreshing."

Sloane: "I can dig that!" Walking between Y/n and Niran.

Niran: "well, while on this topic, Sloane do you fancy anyone?" A sly grin on his face glancing at y/n as Sloane thinks for a second.

Sloane: "hmm.. yeah I'd say so!" A grin on their face as they keep pace, not a stutter in their words.

Niran: "oh really, care to share with the class?" Sly grin turning smug and they not so subtly hum while looking directly at y/n.

Y/n may or may not have been intoxicated after a particularly difficult mission and disclosed their crush on the archeologist to him, which is now clearly seeming more like a bad thing.

Sloane: "well, I could.. but- uhhhh" glancing at y/n, they started fidgeting with their drill, not looking towards anyone else.

Y/n: noticing the glance and fidgeting, can figure out they're uncomfortable at the moment. "Niran. What'd I say about prodding?" Hand on their hips, a small glare set on the other healer.

Niran: puts his hands up in surrender, opting to walk further ahead. "Alright, I'll drop it. For now, that is."

Sloane: letting out a sigh, now alone with just y/n, they continue walking side by side. "Thanks for that! I wasn't sure, how to answer? I didn't want it to be awkward, ya know? Like if said person didn't feel the same or like heard or they didn't want-" they started rambling.

Y/n: "whoa, hey, it's all good. You don't have to justify not wanting to answer, you're allowed to not wanna answer if you don't want to." Laughing lightly, giving their shoulder a nudge.

Sloane: "thanks y/n, that's why you're the best!" Grinning at them.

Y/n: "oh, by the way." Still looking forward as they walk, noticing Sloane tilt their head towards them as they spoke.

Sloane: "yea?" Curious eyes watching your slowly growing smile

Y/n: "I dig you." A cat like grin stretches across your face as theirs lights up like a fire, but a grin on their face tells you all you need to know.

Sloane: "I can dig that!"

venture and junkrat sharing how they chipped/lost their teeth… pls i beg 🤲

Venture and Junkrat storytime

Honestly this was so much fun!!-Xor

⫷════ •⊰♨⊱• ════⫸

Junkrat has always been one for scar stories, so he always asks. Sometimes the way he asks is rather silly and goofy just silly questions here and there in his usual excitable nature other times it was just a very blunt "tell em how you got that scar"

Venture on the other hand is just at excitable and easy to persuade about scars themselves. They try not to ask about other people's scars unless really really interested.

Junkrat just HAD to ask that new guy Venture they said their name was. He swore that chip in their tooth came from a dinosaur or maybe some giant drill bigger than the one they carry

Venture of course was more than happy to answer stating they got it from biting into a rough geode while trying to keep their reward away from the other way finders for jokes of course.

Junkrat is fully immersed in the story grinning , he's so excitable definitely some mad giggling as he asks questions

Venture is equally as cautious and lightly brings up how both of them have teeth or at least parts of teeth missing.

Junkrat happily , almost proudly goes into his story. It was a firecracker that took out his tooth. As much as it hurt losing the tooth he 100% would do it again

Venture is just astonished the whole time , there's definitely some concern but honestly it's just wild .

Both of them start trading stories back and forth after Junkrat insists he tell Venture about how he met and hired Roadhog, and how he lost his leg.

══════ஜ▲ஜ══════

And a lively little blurb written by Frisk -Xor

"So uh, teeth ay?"

Somehow, someway, fate decided to put Venture and Junkrat in the same place at the same time, because there wasn't already enough chaos in the world.

"Yeah! Teeth are so cool, you ever seen those cool fun facts that are like 'did you know you can bite off a finger if you try hard enough'? No clue if it's true or not!" Venture had warmed up to him almost immediately. Something about his personality intrigued them! He seemed just as eccentric and extroverted as they were! Though maybe a bit more unhinged- but that could be overlooked!

"I have! And it's true! This one time I was in a scrap with some lady who's name I forgot and I bit off her finger on accident! I won though, so I got to keep it!" Junkrat retells his story enthusiastically, maybe a bit too happy to tell Venture about it but hey, every story's worth hearing once!

"Is that how you lost your tooth?" They gesture to the gap in his smile, completely forgetting how it was considered rude to ask people about scars and such. They never cared when people asked about theirs, so they tend to forget other people *do* care.

"Aw, this old thing? Nah, I blew that baby out myself! Almost swallowed it, but I didn't! Now it's part of a cool necklace I have at home!" Sticking his tongue through the gap as far as he could, and getting spit everywhere, he talks all about how him and Roadhog were trying to bomb their way into a vault and Junkrat decided to try and make the explosion pretty with firecrackers. To put it gently, it didn't go well.

"Oh wow, that sounds painful! That's such a cool story compared to mine though. I just chipped my tooth trying to bite a rock, it was funny at the time, still is if you ask me!" Venture laughs as they get their own story out, eager to tell someone just as reckless as they are all about themselves and the probably stupid things they do!

I can’t sleep here’s some ow2 headcanons by a gay autistic person who has to make every character they like gay and autistic

Ignore spelling errors I’m tireddd

These might be random as hell also don’t comment that it doesn’t match canon idc I know

These are my main hc btw not my only one because I have multiple for a few

Anyways here we go:

Zen and roadhog are close friends and zen is the only omnic roadhog enjoys the company of. They commonly talk about peace and they definitely have different views on it but respect each others ideas of peace

Junkrat and Lúcio like listening to music together but can’t decide if they want to listen to techno or hiphop, roadhog gets annoyed by both (he prefers rock)

Junkrat likes to make friendship bracelets to people he’s close with

To add to that. Junkrat thinks everyone is his best friend and his husband roadhog is his very best friend

Soldier 76 looks up to mercy like she’s a big sister even though he’s older

Reaper likes to be called a hero and misses being one. Mercy’s “heros never die!” Makes him so so happy

Roadhog and junkrat both love lacrosse and cricket and watch it together frequently

To add junkrats childhood dream was to play cricket professionally but he eventually changed his mind

Roadhog and junkrat are both autistic. Roadhogs special interests are pachi-mari and mechanics and junkrats special interests are bombs and mechanics. They both find common interest in mechanics and bonded even better because if it. They like working on improving their guns, vehicles, and other mechanical things together

I also like to think they have lacrosse and cricket hyperfixations

Winston and tracer drink tea and talk about plans together all the time because they are besties

Also they prefer to do everything together

Life weaver shipped junkrat and roadhog before they we’re together

Roadhog and life weaver also talk about nature together life weaver even sometimes joining zen and hogs conversations on peace

Also roadhog loves flowers

Roadhog gets junkrat flowers a lot and junkrat does the same for roadhog but when roadhog does it junkrat eats the flowers

Roadhog collects pachi merch and owns all the rare plushies and stuff

And I’m tired so that’s it for now thank you

[goatrat69]

Just got finished reading the fan fic trench blasting and good lord is it adorable! I hope whoever made it makes more anyways here part 3 of poprocks headcanons!!! I HOPE YOU ENJOY I LOVE YOU ALL!!! (I really love making these ik no one asks for them but i ask for them and all of the 6 poprocks fans)

-both junkrat and venture are really curious people, thats why they cant be trusted in someones room, cause they’ll touch and probably take some things from said room.

-i feel like venture and roadhog get along very well, and roadhog would sometimes help them both with there relationship.

-when they argue it breaks theyre hearts and most of the time junkrat apologize first and tries to make it up to venture. Even buying their favorite snacks and offering to give them space, even if he isnt in the wrong and it was a mistake he still wants to make it up to them.

-they’re relationship is pretty healthy i see that junkrat and venture speak there mind very easily, and they would tell each other if there uncomfortable with anything.

-when they come home, they come home reeking! Junkrat usually smells like matches and gunpowder and venture smells like dirt and sweat, they take turns showering but sometimes they’d take one together if ykwim. (They get freaky👅)

-venture sometimes fidgets with junkrats prosthetic arm, and sometimes uses it as a backscratcher too

-i feel like there both laidback when it comes to talking to others and being friendly, its what makes them, them. but venture is more protective than junkrat and would give someone the stink eye if there flirting with him and would probably drag junkrat away too.

-after a long day of digging around and splunking, venture comes home absolutely drained and wanting to unwind carrying around a huge ass drill gets tiring very quickly. When this happens junkrat orders there favorite take out and gives them a back massage, while putting there favorite documentary of rocks on too. He knows venture doesnt ask for much but he’s a sweet heart and wants to make it up to them for his constant chaos

Thats all for now! Ofc im gonna come up with more and i wanted to focus more on fluff and ofc im gonna focus on fluff buuuutttt maybe some nsfw idk but i hope you enjoy this ily alll!!!

[tonberry-yoda]

Hihi! Could I request a romantic Overwatch matchup please!

I am a trans guy who uses he/they pronouns and am gay. Men <3

What I look for a partner is somebody who I can have fun with, and affection. But also respects my boundaries. I am autistic and tend to hate physical touch at times.

At first I present as somebody pretty quiet, I don’t really talk. You’d just find me sitting in a corner on my phone lol. But if you make the effort to get to know me I’m one big gremlin. Full of banter, play wrestling and such

I kinda look like some greasy gamer who spends most of the time in my room, hoarding snacks. I’m a big fan of gaming, art, music (my taste is wack, I could be listening to metal one minute and two trucks my lemon demon the next)

My love language is sorta funky, it really depends on my mood. But it’s mostly gift giving. In the form of bringing home a cool rock or just showing them a cool thingy I think they’d like.

I think that’s all the information- thank you!!

omg hiiiii!!! i literally have the cutest man for you and i really hope you like it because this big teddy bear would love you!!!

the character I chose for you is...

ROADHOG!!

as a man who has to put up with junkrat all the time, he can handle you even at your most gremlin times

i just thought it would be cute if you went to play wrestle this big guy and he's just giggling trying to pull him off of you

he would steal from your snack hoard all the time

you two would totally buy each other snacks

a lot of gaming dates

like arcades and just chillin in your room and whatnot

if you brought this man a rock, he would be just as excited as you

honestly, junkertown is the perfect place for the both of you

he would be totally fine with you being quiet because he is just as quiet as you

but when you both go on a tangent it's adorable

junkrat is ALWAYS the third wheel smh

The Rat, The Hog, and The Fox

The dragon and the fox part 18

He had forgotten how alive it made him feel to be racing down the highway with madmen, sirens wailing in the distance as howling laughter rose above the wind to sing into Zayne’s ears like a symphony long forgotten. Wind lashed and whipped his hair into a wild mane as he held tight to the sidecar he and Junkrat were crammed into, the latter standing up and chucking live grenades at their persuers, trusting entirely in the fox at his feet to hold onto him and keep him steady to which the latter did with unhinged glee, knowing the police in this area to be unnecessarily cruel to those they viewed as lesser.

“Heads down, both of you.” Growled Roadhog as his large hand pushed the lanky blonde down into the sidecar as the engines snarled out a loud roar, the bike kicking into another gear as the three screamed into a tight underpass tunnel, high beams all they had to light he way as the police quickly lost their trail.

“We lost em!!! We lost em we lost em!” Cackled out Junkrat with his signature titter, not noticing the deep release of baited breath that came from the larger man at the wheel.

“What a rush!” Laughed Zayne triumphantly as Junkrat finally sat down in the sidecar with him, smiles beaming across both boy’s faces as they playfully wrestled each other for who sat on the floor and who got the cushioned seat.

“I know right?! Mate its so good to have ya back! We’ve really missed ya!” Junkrat cheered, eventually winning the wrestling match sending the shorter man to tuck into the domes bottom of the sidecar as the group raced out of town to wherever the road may take them.

“You enjoy your time in Nepal?” Roadhog huffed, glancing down fondly at the two lunatics he called friends.

“Yeah it was great! I ran into my brother again.” Zayne sighed with a soft smile. “Not the one I ran from that you guys know, the other one, the one I thought was dead?”

“And where is he now?” Asked Junkrat, leaning forward on his seat with an excited gasp. “IS HE INVISIBLE??”

“No no nothing like that!” Zayne laughed heartily, waving off the idea with a flick of his wrist. “We spent a lot of time healing in Nepal, both physically and mentally… it was good for both of us, then, we became a part of the Overwatch again, at least until they fell. After that, we spent some time togetehr, roaming the country, doing what we could where we could and then… he decided to go find our brother… the one I ran from and- I wasn’t ready to follow him yet, so here I am! Bored out of my mind but now I’m back with you guys!”

“Hope we can meet him someday.” Roadhog rumbled. “Your zombie brother, that is.”

“Zombie brother.” Zayne scoffed with a laugh. “Yeah, cant argue with that, pretty accurate, though he’s more of a cyborg now. Actually, being around you dorks before hand kinda helped with that! He’s lost some of his limbs so the prosthetic tips I learned from Jamie have kinda helped out a bunch.”

“Well wouldya look at that! Seems I am useful after all!” Junkrat joked.

“You’re a menace.” Teased Zayne, only to be ensnared into a grapple by the blonde in question, arm wrapped around his throat until he tapped out.

“A menace that youuuuu happen to like!” Tittered the junker.

“And you’re lucky for that!” Zayne coughed out with a smile as the other released him with a smirk, a large hand coming between their two faces as Roadhog glared down wt them breifly.

“Don’t wrestle in the sidecar.”

“Yesss daaaaaad.” Both boys sighed in unison with a roll of their eyes before snickering to themselves yet again, playfully shoving against each other, though a bit more gentle as to not rock the bike.

“So, where ya headed next mate? Gots to be somewheres good!” Junkrat asked with a toothy grin earning a huff of agreement from the strong silent Hog beside him.

“Not really anywhere I guess.” Zayne shrugged in response. “I mean, I don’t really have anywhere to go, just kinda been wandering around doin whatever been trying to tour as many states as I can though! I’ve got through most of the north on my list.”

“Then all ya need is the south right? Well why not tag along with us and we’ll drive ya down there?”

“Aw really guys? You’d do that for little ol me?”

“Sure! Why not? You’re fun to have around and talk more than the big guy thats for sure!”

“Alright! But whats the catch? Knowing you guys I won’t be getting an entirely free ride am I?”

“He knows you have access to Bluey.” Growled roadhog from beside them earning a soft snicker from the ninja.

“Oi! Its a bloody good show and yer gonna respect the Heeler family and their antics!”

“Fine fine!” Zayne smiled with a wave on his hand. “Calm down I probably can get some episodes pulled up on my phone right now.”

That certainly seemed to shut Junkrat up as he quickly scampered into place, cuddled up real close to Zayne as the instrumental theme of the popular kids show began to play, somehow being heard over the rushing air and roar of Hog’s Harley as they raced into the night, a chaotic gaggle of idiots reunited once again for better or for worseZ

[gynab-the-druid]

Junkrat: So... you got explosives?

Venture: I got explosive rock

Junkrat amazed with concept of explosive rock: Roadhog can they come with us?

[becdecorbin]

Wedge's hat: "it's made of hat". also weird Hams and Wedge fusion. (and Laistrygon under a rock)

anyway, quality doodles when I was vibin' with @cosmos-creeps and @idenythis (both were a joy to hang out with)

also the Roadhog and Junkrat were drawn from memory lol

[emile-hides]

Out of Australia, into the fire

Based on an in game RP with @aripan12 and @syalin-deerfox (Original prompt from Two Junkers and a D.Va which can be read here)

Edit: Both Ari and Zayne wrote their own versions of this promt as well.

If you want heavy Roadrat, read Zayne’s version HERE

If you want an almost exact one-to-one of the actual roleplay + Bloopers read Ari’s version HERE

Now, on to my take:

In which Roadhog impulsively cares for a war child

Mako “Roadhog” Rutledge huffed as he looked over his empty fridge shelves for the third time in the last hour. No matter how many glances he spared, the ice box remained empty.

The large man gave another huff as he closed the fridge door, lifting himself up straight before heading out of the large barn he called a home. 

“Rat.” He spoke in the general direction of a small, one room trailer.

Jamison “Junkrat” Fawkes poked his head out of one of the three holes in the small buildings walls, two of which he swore were made for better lighting. The third of which was an accident.

“Hoggie! Just in time I was about to test-”

“We’re out of food. I’m heading into Junker town. Stay here.” Roadhog cut his boss off, already starting the slow walk to the scrap city.

“Whot??? Wait, mate, lemme come too! I need some shit and-” Both the junker’s momentum from leaping out of his work shed and sentence were cut off by a large hand easily catching him by the tire on his back.

“Stay.” Mako said flatly, setting the smaller back down in his work station.

Junkrat whined and swayed like a blade of grass in the wind, “But Roooooooadie”

His complaints weren’t met with a response as the older Junker again began to walk away, leaving Junkrat unsupervised.

______ ______ ______ ______

The large door of Junkertown was just as locked as it was the last time Mako approached. He’d always hated how hard the queen tried to make the pile of scrap seem like a real city. It wasn’t. It never would be.

“Let me in already!” A squeaky voice thick with an accent not native to the island screeched along side the banging of metal, “Please!! I just need to get home!”

Mako paused for a moment at the small girl standing at Junkertown’s door, banging away and begging for entry. Her clothes were bright pink, a color Mako hadn’t seen in a long time, and seemed almost completely clean. Her hair was long and shiny, almost freshly washed. She was small, thin, but healthy. As if all of this wasn’t enough, the sound of her voice made it absolutely, positively clear she was not a native to the savage wastelands of Australia.

Still. She was in the way.

Roadhog threw his hook, safely wrapping it around the girls waste to pull her away from the door. She yelped, and stumbled by his side before fear ran cold across her face. Mako spared her a glance before knocking at the Junkertown door three times with his hook.

“Rutledge?” The guard of the door spat from his lookout point, “You sure are brave to be showin’ your masked face around here again mate. Better now be armed, we got orders to shoot you on sight.”

These threats meant nothing to Roadhog. He simply waited for the gate to open silently before he strolled in, latching his hook to his belt.

“W...Wait!” The girl from before shouted once she finally snapped from her fear induced daze, quickly chasing after the lumbering man.

Mako, again, barely spared the girl a glance, though slowed down slightly to allow her to walk along side him, hoping to block her bright outfit from the onlooking eye of the local thugs.

“M-My name is Hana Song. I was kidnapped from Busan, South Korea, and dropped here. I-I’m not sure where here... is... D-Do you have a phone I could barrow? Please?” She asked, gripping the bottom of her shirt in desperation.

Roadhog glanced at the local shops before walking into an old convenient store, now with nothing more than rusted canned items and whatever animal was found in rummaging in the trash that morning.

“N...No?” Hana half whimpered, continuing to follow him. She watched his movements was they wandered the mostly empty lanes before starting again, “I-I can pay for the distance call! I-I c-can pay reward money! S-Something for your trouble, please! M-My team- M-My country needs me! I-I can pay-”

Mako handed the girl a can of corn. She stared at it, then glanced up at him, clearly confused as she took it.

Luckily, the confusion was enough to shut her up on the money nonsense as the finished shopping. It wasn’t a lot, but it’d be enough for a last meal on this irradiated rock.

On the way out of Junker town, Hana piped up again, “Does... th-this mean you’re going to help me...?” She asked meekly.

A large hand gently pat at Hana’s hair as they stepped out of the scrap city of Junkertown. Hana flinched for a moment at the contact, only realizing at the third pat it was meant to be comforting.

She smiled, “Thankyou.” slipped from her mouth barely above a whisper as they walked away from Junkertown.

______ ______ ______ ______

“Roadie! You’re finally back, what’d ya get I’m STARVIN’!” Junkrat came bounding from his shed as soon as Roadhog came into view.

The larger Junker didn’t acknowledge the smaller as he simply continued to the barn. Junkrat did the same to Hana, who followed the two closely.

“So! While you were gone I was thinkin’ of ways to get back at the queen and I’ve finally got the perfect plan! Wanna hear it?? Of course you do! So-” 

“This is Hana.” Mako spoke up, cutting the smaller off as he drew his attention to Hana Song, “We’re taking her to South Korea.”

Junkrat blinked down at the bring pink stick before him. He stared, unblinking, for almost a solid two minutes.

“South Kor-ee-a?” He repeated, incredibly incorrect of course, “Where in the bloody blue blazes is that?”

“Far.” Mako spoke bluntly, putting his assorts groceries on his make-shift table for now, “Pack what you need. We’re leaving tonight.”

“T-Tonight? Mate what- Don’t you walk away from me!” Junkrat snapped as Roadhog began to leave the barn.

Mako glanced back at Hana, standing awkwardly in the center of the room, “Stay.” He spoke, then continued out, Junkrat shouting behind him.

“What about our plans to get back at the queen?! What about our 50/50 split treasure? You wanna just lug that with us?!” Junkrat huffed and hollered all the way back to Junkertown.

Mako continued to ignore him, making sure the smaller was behind him when they approached the gate, easly hiding Junkrat behind his larger form.

“Twice in one day, Rutledge? Ya forget somethin’?” The guardsman laughed as the gate opened.

“I’ve never even heard of no South Kor-ee-a! What makes ya so sure it’s even a real place and that shiela ain’t just one of the queen’s goons sent to whack us, huh?! Ya even left her alone in our place!”

“Mako? Well this is a surprise?” Junkrat’s complaints cut off with the introduction of a new voice, raspy and weary with age. He’d been ranting so long, Junkrat hadn’t even noticed he and Mako walked into one of Junkertown’s many scrap shops.

“Here for the usual?” A short, chubby man with a scruffy white beard asked, taking a large cigar from his mouth.

“I need a boat. With a moter, and enough oil to get it to Asia.” Mako spoke.

“A boat?” The short scrapper asked, scratching his chin, “That’s a tall order. The Queen ain’t very fond of boats she don’t own.”

Junkrat sized up the man before them, rationalizing if he was going to give Roadhog a hard time, and if he’d have to step in to get whatever Roadie was after.

“The moter’s the easy part, I’ve been working on one myself...” The man gave a gentle kick to a scrapped together engine he’d been working on when they walked in, “The fuel I’ve almost got too, but the actual boat...”

“Please, Bruce.” The word was so foreign, Mako certainly hadn’t used it in over 20 years, and he’d doubt the younger generation in this country even knew what the word means.

Bruce paused, giving another scratch to his chin... A deep sigh left his mouth, “Alright. I’ll get something together and have it at Lagoon Pier by 3am tonight.”

Roadhog gruffed a thankyou, placed a hand on Junkrat’s head, and lead him from the shop, back to Junkertown’s gate.

“...We’re really leavin’?” Junkrat asked as they left the scrapped together city he one called home, “Are we... gonna come back?”

Roadhog didn’t speak. He stared ahead blankly at the wasteland he created, a hand resting on Junkrat’s head.

They walked home in silence.

The short, hastily put together plan was explained to Hana by Junkrat over a scrapped together final meal. They then packed up anything essential into Roadhog’s bike, and headed out across the country.

Hana had long sense passed out in the side car, tightly hugging Mako’s pachimari doll as she rested. Junkrat has also, supposedly, passed out behind Roadhog on the bike.

As the two slept, Mako took a moment to park along side a cliff and stare out at the desert.

He thought about how 20 or so years ago, this place was just like the world Hana had described to them. How he’d spend his days playing video games on his phone just like her, or how he could spend hours weaving brightly colored flowers into crowns.

20 years ago they were just like every other place in the world.

What... happened?

Mako’s grip on his handle bars tightened.

ALF happened.

HE happened.

For a moment, Mako considered turning around. Driving back to his scrapped old barn on his wasted little farm with the small grave marked only with a dusty little bolder and a few dead flowers.

It wouldn’t be fair for him to leave. He broke the world, he deserves to rot in it. He deserves to sit on this little irradiated rock and slowly die of whatever the world wants to throw at him.

“Roadie..?” A yawn broke Roadhog of his thoughts as Junkrat lifted himself up some, hanging over the larger man’s shoulder, “Why’d we stop? Ya gotta piss?” The younger Junker rubbed at his eye, nuzzling into Mako’s neck from grogginess.

Roadhog released his grip on his handle bars. For a moment his mind wondered where Jamie could be had the Omnium not exploded.

Would he be a child soldier, like Hana? Willing to give his life for a county so quick to throw away it’s citizens? Fighting a war at such a young age...

“Roadie?” Junkrat asked, a bit more awake, “Ya alright? Ya got that sad look on yer face...”

Roadhog glanced to Junkrat. The smaller look concerned.

Mako squished Jamie’s cheeks in his hand, “Sit down. I can’t drive with you standin’ up like that.” He scolded. Jamison whined in his hold, patting weakly at Mako’s shoulders until he was released, allowing him to fall back onto his seat.

Roadhog chuckled before starting the bike again. There’s no point in turning back.

He hadn’t destroyed the world.

At least

Not yet.
