"Remember, it's up to you to keep him safe. I'm sure you're able to handle the task at hand."

"Yes, commander. I will be sure to fulfill my duty, you mustn't worry about his safety."

"Just as I thought, I knew you'd be the perfect candidate for this."

The arrival of Niran Pruksamanee to be at the hands of Overwatch was well anticipated. To them, he would be a major help to rebuild Overwatch's reputation. After getting a bounty on his head for disobeying Vishkar's orders, Overwatch had stepped in to ensure his safety. 

Jack Morrison and Angela Ziegler were to escort him to base. It was the safest way to bring him though without any trouble. And Hanzo was to await their arrival with Niran at hand. He was tasked to guard him with his life in order to keep him safe. Morrison chose him due to Hanzo's background, it also made the selecting process a lot easier since Hanzo had accepted. Morrison wasn't sure who else could've done it, Genji probably. He's from a similar background to Hanzo. He was hesitant on assigning Cassidy or Lena the task, it might just be too much for the man. But Hanzo was perfect due to his calm demeanor and ability to think quick in pressured situations. 

The time since Morrison and Angela had left was around 3 days ago, Hanzo was informed today was the day they'd bring him to base. To be formal and professional, he waited at the front where they'd come through. He noticed a black car come through and parked, both Morrison and Angela had walked out, then a man Hanzo hadn't seen before had. He quickly assumed that must be the man he was to guard. 

Hanzo walked up to them and bowed, as a traditional Japanese would. "I hope your travels were at ease." He stood up properly.

"They were," Morrison walked up to him with Angela at his side, Niran walking up standing near him. "As you know already, you'll be guarding Niran with your life. I hope you also treat him well."

Hanzo nods, "I will," he glances at the tall silver blonde man. "I assume this is him?"

"Yep, I'll leave you two together. Introduce yourselves, get along. You might just be together for a while." Morrison walked away along with Angela.

"Good luck," Angela gave the last word.

Hanzo watched them leave before looking back at Niran. "Niran Pruksamanee, it is my honor to guard you with my life."

"I can see that, but there's no need for formalities." Niran smiles, "You must be Hanzo Shimada then, correct?"

"Correct. I should show you around since you'll be here for a while." 

"I'd appreciate that, lead the way."

***

Hanzo made sure Niran was following him as he showed him around base. Making sure he also remembered where things were, since he didn't want to be fully burdened by Niran constantly asking him where something was. Hanzo also introduced him to other members if they came across them during the tour. 

The final part of the tour as where Niran would be staying. 

"This is your room, everyone's room here has a code to ensure their privacy is kept." Hanzo explained, "Your room code is 7162" He said while entering the numbers to open the room.

"If codes are to ensure privacy than why do you know mine?" Niran asked.

"As your bodyguard it's important I know, in case something happens... you could be attacked during the night." Hanzo stated and walked in the room, Niran following him after.

"But that means I don't have full privacy, this is a nice room though." 

"Do you really want to be attacked at night with no way of someone helping you?" Hanzo asked.

"Wouldn't that mean others would be in trouble if they got attacked in their rooms? Your argument is lacking, Shimada." Niran responded.

Hanzo sucked his cheek, frustrated at this point. "It wasn't my decision to do this, but I have to know your code in case of anything. If it makes you feel better, my room is to the left of yours."

"Will I know your code for it?"

"No."

"Well I don't think that's fair."

"It is fair."

"No it's not."

"Yes it is."

"It's not. Why can't I know your code?" Niran asked.

Hanzo sighed, "This conversation is over. Do you have any other questions that aren't about the code?"

He thought for a moment, "Not that I can think of."

"Then I'll leave you to get comfortable." Hanzo left Niran's room and went to his right next door.

Hanzo sighed once more, as he'd now have to put up with someone like him for a long time. But it was his duty, something he couldn't just ignore or let go. If he wanted to redeem himself, this was a way to do so.

It was opposite of what he destroyed himself for. The killing has now gone to saving. Instead of being told to get rid of someone, he's now told to protect someone. Hanzo knew it was something he had to do, his honor was now on the line for this task and he wasn't going to let anything stop him from completing it.
