When walking across the base at night is quiet soothing to be in. Soft talking mixed with laughter in the distance could be heard. The feel of the soft breeze is soothing to the skin. The moon shone brightly against the dark night. A Russian cursing like a sailor could be heard coming out from the medical wing with crunches.
Zarya had hurt herself badly and could not go back in duty for at least two months. It could be less if she got the help from the omnic monk, but she is feeling conflicted about it. On one hand she can get back to the fight and help her comrades, but on the other hand he was an omnic. How could she trust him with anything?
Zarya groaned loudly and headed to the small garden with a giant tree in the middle. The small garden made her mind go a bit clearer and looked up to the moon. She smiled; she always loved the moon. Zarya sighed happily, feeling much better than before. That is until she heard chimes.
Zarya turned to the side to see Zenyatta meditating with his orbs orbiting him, bouncing with chimes. Zarya irked and Zenyatta's orbs stopped and he looked up to Zarya. They stared at each other quietly and slowly Zenyatta lifted his hand. "Greetings Ms.Zarya, how may I be of assistance to you?", Zenyatta said happily. Zarya huffed and looked back to the moon as she said, "I am not talking to you, omnic". "Well, you just did Ms.Zarya", Zenyatta said back as he looked at the moon as well.
Zarya got annoyed as they both stood silent and Zarya crossed her arms and huffed. "Doctor Zeigler said you can make me recover more quickly. I do not trust you, but I want to go back and help my comrades. I am not taking no as an answer" Zarya stated. Zenyatta looked up to her and if he could he would have smiled, "Of course. I would gladly help you." "Don't get any ideas of us being 'friends', alright? I can hear the happiness from your voice from here", Zarya groaned.
"Of course Ms.Zarya", Zenyatta giggled softly.
Through the course of the next month Zenyatta had used harmony orbs, doing physical therapy, and almost getting his face punched in by Zarya at least once a week to make her better. With all that time together they have learned more about each other. Zarya was reluctant at first, but listening to Zenyatta's stories of where he came from and his 'family' let her tell him stories of her hometown and how she gave up a lot of personal glory to protect it from omnics and how she needs to be there for her comrades. This only drove Zenyatta to help her even faster.
Zenyatta helped Zarya up, with Zarya doing her best not to push him away. "Alright Ms. Zarya, please be careful now.", Zenyatta suggested. "Ha, you should know by now I am not", Zarya snorted. Zenyatta chuckled and slowly let her go as she walked around the small area they had occupied for themselves. Zarya did not wince at all and smiled even more. "Yes! I can walk normally!", She laughed loudly. Zenyatta was happy for her. Was.
Zenyatta looked down. "That is great. You should see Dr. Zeigler and hopefully you will be back with your comrades", Zenyatta said sadly. Zarya caught on to his sadness and looked away. "You aren't half bad... Zenyatta. Thank you", Zarya huffed. Zenyatta looked up in surprise since it was the first time she has ever called him that. "It was a pleasure, Zarya", He said without any hesitation. "I'll take my leave now.", Zarya smiled softly. Something she thought she would never do towards an omnic. "And... If anything else happens to me, I take it you will help me won't you not?", Zarya said over her shoulder as she was heading off. "Of course, I would gladly do so", Zenyatta said happily.
