We all know what hanzo has been through and how hard he’s been working towards redemption. He’s forgiven enemies and his troubled ways are all a thing of the past now.

Today he’s working towards a new and better life for himself, one without any vengeance or unnecessary violence.

That was all until he met you..

From the moment he laid eyes on you, you set off a fire in him that he thought he burned out years ago.

Your elegance/poise, your sharp witted nature, and your sense of courage are things that caught his attention.

Hanzo had convinced himself that he could never love anyone again, not in the way he loved his wife at least. She was perfect in every single way, the only one of her kind to ever grace this earth.

No one could ever replace or come close to her…except maybe you.

Hanzo can’t help but to be utterly consumed by you and stalk your every move. Being in your general vicinity and studying your interactions pleased him..

You’re so much like her and there's a fire that burns so hard for you, one that is steadily burning out of control.

Old habits and mindsets are starting to creep back into him. While Hanzo is falling in love, a trigger is being set off.

He can’t control his anger and his actions as much anymore. He reacts so impulsively when it comes to you. He’s demanding and desperately overwhelming towards you.

He needs to protect you as he is convinced something bad is surely going to happen to you anytime now. This time though, the outcome will be different if you stay by his side 24/7. As it is much to your dismay to have him constantly be over you, eventually you’ll be worn down. You’ll give into his lies about this purely being a learning opportunity. A chance for you to understand more about his clan and to train under him…nothing more of course.

What a horrible decision on his part.

While Hanzo was happy having you close to him so that he could eventually begin to implement his desires on you, he didn’t realize that his friend, Kuai Liang, would also be taking such a liking for you.

You’re a perfect vessel to test the new cryo system on. You’re very skilled, well disciplined, and lacking no intelligence either…Not to mention what fine beauty you possess…you’ll be everything frost isn’t and so much more.

Quickly Sub-Zero’s investment in you grew. He learned from what went wrong before and will make sure you’ll become fully loyal to him and the Lin kuei. certainly you’ll be his equal and a perfect weapon to compliment him in battle.

Not to mention how even though he was a cold and lonely man, he longed for something to fill a void in him. You're just that. For the first time in his life, he truly felt warmth and just like with Hanzo, you consumed every part of his being.

Kuai Liang is cunning and his obsession is well kept to himself. He’s playing the good cop in this situation so well. Every time Hasashi becomes too strict and overbearing, Kuai swiftly swoops in and makes you feel better.

He pretends to not have interest in you beyond a mentor-like friendship but he’s so damn needy. Your admiration sends him over the edge.

Carefully he sends sweet smiles, gentle touches, gifted gestures and words of encouragement your way just to get some kind of praise from you. Subtly though, so as to not alert Hanzo of any of this. You may not notice it, but Kuai can see just how passionate Hanzo is for you.

Part of him kind of feels bad for going behind his friend like this but he just can’t give up his plans for you. He knows that if Hanzo ever finds out any of this that you’ll be immediately ripped away from him and he can’t have that. He needs you.

The rush he gets from when he pulls you off to the side and your pretty eyes are beaming up at him. ✨Don’t get me started on the superiority complex that he has. He loves to flex off his power and strength to you whenever he can get a chance to. This man lives to upstage Hanzo in small ways to prove that he’d be the better man for you.

Hanzo does this as well but with every other man. The members of his clan must know that they will never outdo him, especially not in front of you~

Like the anon said, yes these mfs are creepy and thirsty for literally anything from you.

Hanzo loovvesss snooping through your things to keep tabs on you and I like to think he also will occasionally take things or leave tokens for you….which is actually how he found out about Kuai’s feelings for you.

Of course, as careful as Sub-Zero has been, there was always room for error. Kuai Liang had messed up by leaving a Lin Kuei patch in your bag with a written note that explained it being a gift from him. That he and the clan would welcome you with open arms whenever you were ready to make the move.

Suddenly, everything clicked for Hanzo. From the “innocent” smiles and the “coincidences” when both you and Kuai Liang would go missing every time he’d become preoccupied…how could he be so damn foolish?!

He trusted Kuai as a friend, someone that he didn’t worry would take you away from him. While once enemies, he thought Sub-Zero proved his alliance with him. But he oh was he wrong …Kuai will beg for mercy for undermining him like this.

A jealousy fueled rage boiled through scorpions blood as he tore through your things. He tried to find more gifts like this from him so he could destroy them all. Scorpion wanted him dead for this..and you???

He’s just as upset with you. Yeah, you weren’t officially together but have you no loyalty? The Shyrai Ryu was the first to show you kindness and you repay him like this? You want to side with them? Fine. But there won’t be a Lin Kuei by the time he’s finished with them and you’d have no choice but to run back to him.

“Hasashi?” Your voice broke his emotional rampage and he slowly turned around to face you. He breathed deeply and heavy and his balled fists were flaming.

You were there standing at your doorway with Kuai Liang. It was obvious that you had just finished training together as your clothes were stiff with ice shards and your nose was a bright, pinched pink. Hatashi’s eyes narrowed at the sight of y’all and his lip lifted with disgust

Noticing the state of Hanzo, Kuai Liang quickly got in front of you, guarding your body.

“Surrender her, Liang. Or I will not shy away from burning you alive.”

“You aren’t worthy enough to have her. Y/N will thrive and be far happier with The Lin Kuei….there I will train her to become my equal.”

“ Why would you want Y/N to be out fighting your wars for you? A true man like me would keep her in the safety of my home while I went out to defend her.”

“Oh yeah? Well how did that work out the first time, Scorpion?”

(😩damn)

Something deep down in you told you to run, the situation wasn’t going to de-escalate anytime soon. Their feud didn’t just start here, this goes back long before you, you were just the match that set them off again. No peace would come your way from choosing a side.

You had no idea where you’d go but you got as far as you possibly could before resting.

‘They probably killed themselves already, right?’

Wrong…little did you know that no one actually won that day. While one was severely more injured than the other, nothing was going to stop either party from getting their hands on you.

They both yearned for you and grieved the plans that they had made for you.

Whoever finds you first will have the honor to be the one to mold and brainwash you into being their perfect little companion. Oh and don’t think you’ll have any kind of say in this because they don’t care. Death itself will have to forcibly hold them down before they will ever let you leave them again.

Being raised in a clan of assassins and away from a nurturing home did nothing to help. His attempts to steer clear from it fail as Hanzo continued to worm his way into his life. The surge of emotions caused Kuai Liang to pull away, straining their friendship. Only when Hanzo's life is in danger does Kuai Liang realize the mistake he made.

Chapter 1:

In the time that the Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu had become allied, their respective Grandmasters had to learn how to coexist at times. They had been working together for a year, and their clans’ alliance had been in effect for longer. Kuai Liang, having been the one to call for the alliance, had been a fool and asked for more. He respected Hanzo’s work ethic and itched for the chance to fight alongside the warrior. Upon acceptance, the two were inseparable when it counted.

Any meeting they had, Hanzo settled into. He was no longer wary of being on Lin Kuei grounds. The pyromancer was a perfect guest, despite some of the other clans’ remaining hesitance about his presence. While Kuai Liang handled the unease of his clan, his friend kept his head held high. He did not bat an eye at the skepticism thrown his way.

In their meetings with their fellow Earthrealm Defenders, the cryomancer always felt warmth by his side in the form of the yellow calf warrior. His initial confused glances about the matter went unnoticed.

To Kuai Liang, his efforts had paid off greatly. It was no surprise to him that the ex-spectre was a powerful and deathly loyal ally. The only shock had been that he’d not refused to join forces after Frost’s attack. Even more so when he discovered Kuai Liang had not thrown her out of the Lin Kuei. The matter had caused a rift between them. It was something that was quickly forgotten, with Hanzo realizing it was hardly his place to judge. Since that day, the two had drifted closer over time.

Sub-Zero had not known what it was like to fight so closely with another. Compatibility in Kombat was trained in him from a young age. The only difference was that there was nothing forcing the connection. It was a breath of fresh air. The only other time he’d felt it was with a long-lost fellow assassin. He enjoyed the chance to improve his skills.

With change came unfamiliarity. It tested Kuai Liang at times, but he had not backed out, although it had crossed his mind. It became a persistent thought the more they were in one another’s company. Hanzo began inviting him on missions and personal clan endeavors. The cryomancer was quick to understand that the tasks were well below their combined skill level. No comments were ever made; he simply assumed his friend had succumbed to boredom. Neither had any interest in waiting months for an appropriate job to present itself.

“They are dealing with the black dragon?” Kuai Liang asked in an attempt to understand their latest errand.

Hanzo only nodded, concentrating on their location and finding a vantage point. He was not talkative in his work, though his focus did not suffer from the few remarks.

Holding in a sigh, Sub-Zero continued to speak. “That is all it takes to catch your attention, Grandmaster Hasashi?”

The other man turned, an eyebrow raised in question. He’d not known if it was teasing or a childish complaint that he’d heard. He opened his mouth to ask, but movement caught his attention in his peripheral vision. His mouth snapped shut, the action hidden behind his mask.

One man was patrolling the grounds nearby. The sight of the armed man made the two warriors pause. He was a few feet in front of them, ignoring the height they had on him. There was no indication he’d heard them at all. Sub-Zero moved forward mindlessly, slipping onto the ground without a sound, and took out the man just as stealthily. His body was laid on the ground. The assassin looked on, paying no attention to the sensation of blood drying on his hands. Hanzo joined him and pulled him along to the entrance, nodding his thanks.

—

Things went on without issue, which was not a surprising fact for either man. They received more information about the Black Dragon during their time at the rundown building. While they had cleared out the base, they needed to contact the SF. Kuai Liang had offered what information he could and promised the rest in writing. It was something that would take priority another day. With their distance from any available transportation, the former spectre teleported them to the Lin Kuei Temple.

Upon their arrival, Hanzo had begun to shed as many blood-stained garments as was reasonable. There was no thought needed behind the action. He’d grown accustomed to unwinding in each other’s presence before returning to the Fire Gardens. Kuai Liang only watched, his own armour staying in place. Hasashi was used to Kuai Liang’s need for silence. Neither man was very talkative, regardless. He paid little mind to it, despite the uncharacteristic stillness.

The cryomancer found it hard to get out of his own head. Something deep in his mind unnerved him while he sat. His expression was blank as he stared at his friend, only his eyes following the movement. Brown eyes met his gaze, and Hanzo leaned in to wipe his red-stained face. Kuai Liang froze at the gesture. His friend was visibly comfortable with the touch, but it only worsened the dread he felt. Kuai Liang let him finish, hiding a grimace. He turned his eyes to the remaining blood splatter on the other’s armour as he moved away.

Hanzo caught on to the strange behaviour, as it had been long enough for neither to have spoken a word yet. “Kuai Liang?” He asked, worry evident in his voice.

The act only pushed the other man further into his spiral. His mind demanded an out. “I think it’s best you left.” He blurted it out as he moved to sit at his desk, needing the distance.

A frown crossed Hasashi’s features as he hovered over where Kuai Liang sat. “Surely you do not take me for a fool? What is the issue?”

The cryomancer’s agitation grew. He knew his silence had become petty, yet he could not force himself to speak. The longer Hanzo spoke and stood in his presence, the more sick he felt. The sweetness of his actions bittered in his mind in an instant. He remained stone-faced, acting as if he could not hear the other’s pleas. It crushed his heart to do so. The large wooden desk separating them was no longer enough. The pyromancer’s looming presence was only amplified by the furniture.

Hanzo scoffed in disbelief and withdrew from the desk. “Perhaps I misread our relationship. I’ll take my leave.” He had no energy to argue and was willing to accept the blame without a second thought. Back turned to the other, flames engulfed his form as he left.

Kuai Liang’s shoulders dropped, and he let out the breath he’d been holding. His behaviour was childish and pathetic for a man of his skill and importance. Poor emotional regulation was no excuse. He'd been raised better. Though he held some doubt about that fact given his childhood, or lack thereof. Despite the decades of freedom, the damage from the Lin Kuei had held on strong. That fact had become terribly uncomfortable to face with Frost entering his life. He’d never questioned it previously. Something had been dug up deep within his memories. Some faint image of Bi-Han as a young boy, begging him to stop fighting, haunted him. Why Frost’s fearful eyes had brought up such disturbed feelings was not immediately apparent to him.

He had a roof over his head and food in his stomach. He didn’t think he needed any more than that at the time. Frost had grown up with far less. She deserved more, and he intended to give her better than he’d gotten, even without much thought. Many days she’d lash out at him, expecting his generosity would end as it always had with others. Those moments had pulled sickening relatability out of the older cryomancer.

Sub-Zero had defended the Lin Kuei endlessly, even after he’d hunted all those who remained but himself. He preached that the Cyber Initiative was a fluke of the Lin Kuei’s principles. Sektor conspiring with Quan Chi over the Shirai Ryu’s extinction furthered that opinion. He fought hard for his clan's innocence despite it all, but Frost’s betrayal had been sobering. His explanation to Hanzo on the matter had not been well received initially.

The Shirai Ryu’s Grandmaster had taken the act as disrespect towards his lost family and clan. He was indifferent to the fact that an attempt was made on his life. Even more concerned that the Lin Kuei would continue to be dishonourable even when the man had little else to lose. Kuai Liang had argued still. There was nothing to gain from being deceitful. He knew for himself what it was like to be young and have your only home threatened. To live in a world where there was only praise as a response to violence. He’d seen himself in Frost and would not let her go disparaged. Years of building her trust were not to be cast aside so easily. 

Plenty of nights were spent worrying she’d run off over disagreements, and many more were scared she’d left for good. Kuai Liang had given her more patience than he had, but he persisted nonetheless. He’d lost those who’d done the same for him, and Frost had already lost more than enough.

Despite all of Hasashi’s hotheadedness, he still apologized. It had taken some harsh words that Kaui Liang was not terribly proud of, but it had gotten through to the other man. Beyond what could be considered selfishness, he was kind-hearted. The rare displays of that fact hung in the cryomancer’s head. Not always for the better. Dread pooling into his stomach grew worse each time. Yet a sick sense of yearning was felt. He was still not clear from it, even with Hanzo being gone from his space.

Needing to clear his head, he wrote his findings for General Blade. Drowning himself in his work being his best chance at easing the pent-up stress. He’d let the report linger on his desk to not be questioned for the prompt work. A distraction was all he needed.

I thought of a plot for BiHanzo fic but I know I'll never write it. So I decided just to describe it in the tumblr post. Maybe it will inspire someone to something

It's MK9-11 Universe

Hanzo and Bi-Han met each other much earlier than their first MK tournament. Lin Kuei was a Chinese clan whereas Shirai Ryu was a Japanese clan but both clans had their bases all over the Earthrealm, some of them located even in other realms. Two of the Japanese bases located near to each other. Both of the clans were aware of it and were cautious of the other clan's actions but mostly ignored each other. That's where Hanzo, Bi Han and his little brother lived. Bi Han even learned Japanese to be capable of speaking with locals.

Hanzo and Bi Han ran into each other on the field where both of them used to train. Before the day of their meeting they both had already used it but never seen each other. Of course, they recognized the rival clan so they tried to beat each other up and win the right to train on the field all by himself. But their strength level was equal and no matter how hard they tried, the fights ended up in a draw. They had to admit it was the best sparing battle they'd ever had. So to keep a great opponent they got a deal to share the field and to train with each other.

Later they couldn't help but turned into buddies. And then they fell in love.

Their relationship was... challenging. They were opposites. Hanzo was passionate, spontaneous, impatient. And Bi Han was calm, reserved and even closed. Bi Han found it difficult to trust Hanzo with his feelings and Hanzo found it impossible to wait for a moment when Bi Han was ready. But a bunch of trainings together taught them to understand each other better and to compromise. Hanzo was learning to control his emotions and Bi Han was learning to be more risky and to lean on his intuition, not only logic. Of course they had arguments but they always managed to find a way out of any problem. That's how they made their relationship work.

Obviously they had to hide. Nobody knew about their secret meetings. Sometimes one of them had a personal mission and he could take another with him if there was no risk of being seen together. Or they could organize a hike together telling their masters they wanted to spend several days alone with nature. Nobody seemed to care about their small trips so both of them started to loose their cautiousness. That's how Kuai Liang, Bi Han's younger brother, found out about them.

Kuai Liang got curious about his elder brother's walks. Bi Han said he liked to train alone but Kuai wasn't satisfied with the answer as Bi Han refused to take Kuai Liang along with him even once. So Kuai Liang decided to spy on the brother. He wasn't noticed on the way and he was so proud he could hide from his brother's attentive eye. Although he was discovered later and nearly killed by the brother as Bi Han heard the noise and automatically threw an ice kunai towards it. Kuai Liang managed to dodge but he had to show himself not to be attacked further. Hanzo and he introduced themselves to each other but Bi Han almost immediately grabbed Kuai Liang and left the field. Kuai Liang expected the brother to be mad but Bi Han didn't say a thing. Then Kuai Liang asked if Hanzo belonged to Shirai Ryu. Bi Han answered honestly. That was the first and the last time they talked about it.

After this incident Bi Han came to their special place less often. He became more cautious, even paranoid and Hanzo had really hard time distracting him or calming him down.

One day Bi Han asked Hanzo not to get his little brother involved if something happened between them. Hanzo was really surprised to hear that as he saw no reason for them to fight or anything. He asked for examples. Bi Han reminded they still belonged to rival clans and as now they were among the best assassins there, they could confront each other anytime. Hanzo clarified that Bi Han would kill him if he was given order to. Bi Han confirmed it. That pissed Hanzo off and he decided to finish their relationship not to be stabbed in the back in the future. He got cooled of several days later and he came to the field but Bi Han wasn't there. Hanzo didn't show up there anymore.

Hanzo turned his love into rage. He couldn't forget Bi Han but not in a romantic kind of way - he was angry. When Lin Kuei attacked their base because, as they said, some of the 'Shirai Ryu dogs' were spying on them, Hanzo and the clan had to leave the place. It didn't seem Bi Han had to do anything with the conflict.

The rage let Hanzo move further though. He fell in love with a girl, married her and they had a son together. But his happy life couldn't last long as he was killed by Bi Han during the mission at the MK tournament.

You know what happened next. Hanzo was resurrected as a ghost by Quan Chi, convinced that Bi Han had killed his clan and family. And even though he'd promised Raiden to spare Bi Han's life, Hanzo got blinded by anger and killed him. Later he managed to come free of Quan Chi's spell and learnt to control his rage. He also restored Shirai Ryu and became its Grandmaster. Thanks to Kuai Liang, Hanzo learnt the truth behind his clan's death and they managed to establish peace between their clans.

Apart from the cooperation Hanzo and Kuai Liang started a romantic relationship too. Hanzo resisted it for a long time. First, he found it very hard to get close to anybody after losing his wife and son. His wounds still felt fresh but Kuai Liang was trying his best to help him heal it. Second, although Kuai Liang was very different from his brother, he reminded of him a lot. The same name, the same clan, the similar looks, the same abilities. Hanzo was aware now that Bi Han wasn't responsible for his family's murder. But Hanzo was still mad at him. For killing him, for coming back as a wraith, for crimes he did in the form of Noob Saibot. Kuai Liang was angry at his brother too and that helped Hanzo a lot not to see Bi Han in his successor.

One evening Hanzo and Kuai Liang spent their time together and during one of the tender moments they used to have Kuai Liang recalled their first ever meeting. He said that he couldn't understand why Bi Han had been so fond of Hanzo and now having a sweet kiss with him Kuai Liang finally got it. Hanzo was flattered and surprised at the same time and he expressed his doubts on Bi Han's feelings towards him, considering Bi Han's future actions. Kuai Liang couldn't explain the brother's motives but he was 100%-confident that Bi Han used to love Hanzo. Kuai Liang managed to see only one Bi Han's look at Hanzo and it was enough for him to say that Hanzo was one of the most important people for Bi Han. They didn't come to agreement on that but agreed to drop the topic and leave the past in the past.

That night Hanzo had a dream about young Bi Han and Kuai Liang. They were about 12 and 7 years old. Both of them were trained ruthlessly by Lin Kuei masters. It was obviously too hard for both of them but they had to do their best, they were forced to. The brothers were kidnapped from their family and used to create powerful cryomancers. But none of them could awaken their powers. It was especially hard for small Kuai Liang and Bi Han tried to draw the attention to himself either working hard or pulling some tricks over other students or masters. Bi Han knew they had to start using their innate abilities otherwise Lin Kuei would get rid of them. So he tried his best to achieve the results and protect his little brother from exhausting trainings. Eventually, Bi Han awakened his cryo powers and became the center of the masters' attention. Lin Kuei went easy on Kuai Liang from that moment and focused on making a great assassin out of Bi Han.

Hanzo found the dream very weird. He described it to Kuai Liang and Kuai was as surprised as Hanzo. Kuai Liang couldn't say how true the dream was as he didn't remember anything about Bi Han's trainings. But he confirmed several facts, like: they were kidnapped because of their innate powers, the trainings felt very hard for a kid and Bi Han awakened his abilities pretty early, around 12-13 years old. Kuai Liang managed to do that several years later and Bi Han asked to train the brother himself. But Kuai Liang knew nothing about his brother forcing himself to train so he could ease it up for Kuai Liang. Even if that was true, he doubted Bi Han would ever confess it.

Suddenly Hanzo remembered one controversial thing about the brothers and he asked if cryomancers felt cold. Kuai Liang answered that they usually didn't as they could control the temperature of their body and lower it as much as their skills allowed. But, as he'd read in the scrolls he'd found in the temple of their ancestors, there was a chance a cryomancer felt cold if they couldn't subdue their power. Hanzo wondered if that could happen to Bi Han. Kuai Liang confirmed that it was very likely. Cryomancers perfected their power control by their thirties whereas Bi Han was a skillful cryomancer by his eighteen years and that could affect him badly. But Kuai Liang didn't know if anything used to bother Bi Han. Hanzo told him that Bi Han felt cold permanently even though he never admitted that. Kuai Liang found it unfair that he happened to avoid such destiny and Bi Han didn't. Hanzo soothed him by saying that as Kuai Liang was the Lin Kuei's Grandmaster now, he wouldn't let any kid experience the same his brother did.

The next night Hanzo had another dream starring Bi Han. He was older this time. Hanzo and he had already been dating then. As Hanzo figured out, Bi Han was going to their meeting place. Suddenly Bi Han noticed someone was following him and not showing any suspense he changed the course. He appeared to get to another field, which wasn't far from the original destination but closer to the Lin Kuei's base according to Hanzo's memories. Bi Han turned around and found out his follower was Sektor. Bi Han warned he could have attacked Sektor thinking he was followed by an enemy. Smiling deviously, Sektor responded he just wanted to train with Bi Han at the latter's special place. Bi Han deadpanned that they could train together on the Lin Kuei territory cause he didn't want to share his private place with anyone. Sektor got the hint and left. Bi Han didn't go to Hanzo though, he spent the rest of the day on another field and then came back home.

Hanzo told about this dream to Kuai Liang too. Kuai Liang couldn't confirm or deny something like that had happened but there was a chance. Kuai Liang told Hanzo that there was a period when Sektor tried to find some dirt on Bi Han. The Grandmaster announced he was going to choose his successor and even though Sektor was the Grandmaster's son, he preferred Bi Han more. Sektor tried to undermine Bi Han's credibility but he never found anything he could use. Apparently, Sektor expected to find something interesting in the place Bi Han used to go all the time but he didn't succeed. Luckily, Bi Han didn't get caught. They could punish him severely for the bond with the Shirai Ryu member, maybe even kill for betrayal. Hanzo wasn't aware of such troubles in the rival clan but he wasn't surprised as he found out.

Hanzo was wondering why he would have dreams about Bi Han all of a sudden. Kuai Liang suggested Bi Han himself was showing it to him somehow. Hanzo didn't see how it could be possible but kept such option in mind.

Bi Han appeared in his dream again. Bi Han was sitting in front of the table with different kinds of weapons. Sektor entered the room and congratulated him on an important mission. Sektor mentioned the MK tournament so Hanzo guessed that it was happening right before the tournament where he was killed by Bi Han. Sektor also said that Bi Han's future as a Grandmaster depended on it - if Bi Han succeeded, he would become an official successor. Bi Han didn't respond as Sektor kept talking. Suddenly he wondered if anyone from Shirai Ryu would participate in the tournament and reminded Bi Han if Bi Han ran into any 'Shirai Ryu dog', he would have to kill them. Bi Han asked casually if it was necessary and Sektor confirmed. If Bi Han didn't do that, he would be suspected in disloyalty. Which might turn into a very tragic situation considering that Kuai Liang stayed at the Lin Kuei base during Bi Han's mission. Bi Han recommended Sektor not to discredit himself with low and absurd threats. Sektor grinned that he had just warned Bi Han and left the room.

Hanzo woke up in the middle of the night. He remembered Kuai Liang's theory about Bi Han telling him all of that immediately as Hanzo felt someone's presence in the room. He looked around, looked out of the window and even called out Bi Han but found and heard nothing.

He didn't tell Kuai Liang about this dream. Kuai Liang looked worried when Hanzo shared the idea Bi Han might have hurt himself to protect the brother. He would be much more stressed if Hanzo revealed the chance Kuai Liang was connected with Hanzo's death too. Hanzo didn't believe in reliability of his dreams but Kuai Liang seemed to trust them.

The last dream in the row was long and hectic. It started in the dark but big and frightening room with three people inside - Bi Han, Sektor and an old man Hanzo didn't know but supposed it was the Lin Kuei Grandmaster. They were talking about turning all Lin Kuei members into cyborgs. Bi Han and Sektor were staring at each other, Bi Han looked tensed and Sektor was smiling with his eyes. Hanzo managed to understand by the context that Sektor had given the cyborg idea to his father. Bi-Han was trying to convince the idea was a failure but every time he started to bring up the argument he was shut by Sektor. Sektor turned all arguments to Bi-Han's possible disloyalty and mistrust to the clan and the Grandmaster. The Grandmaster was agreeing with Sektor and not listening to Bi Han. He even expressed his doubts on making Bi Han next Grandmaster. Considering Sektor's smirk that was exactly what Sektor was trying to achieve. Obviously, Bi Han was losing his position and could do nothing about it.

Next Hanzo saw Bi Han in his room together with Kuai Liang. Worried Kuai Liang was telling Bi Han that he didn't want to become a cyborg and Bi Han had to do something about it as among all the Lin Kuei members Bi Han had the highest chance of success. And also the opportunity because all regular assassins were not allowed to disobey the Grandmaster. Bi Han said he was working on it and trying his best. Kuai Liang suddenly suggested running away from the clan. Bi Han declined it immediately and reminded his brother what Lin Kuei did with traitors. The brothers started a fight. Kuai Liang didn't like Bi Han was treating him like a child and refused to see Kuai Liang was capable of protecting himself. Also he said Bi Han was afraid of Lin Kuei more than he should. That's where the conversation ended. Bi Han promised he would figure out what to do after the mission.

Hanzo recognized the mission and could tell for sure: Bi Han wouldn't come back. That was the tournament where Hanzo killed Bi Han. First Hanzo saw Bi Han in the company of Cyrax and Sektor. Sektor said everyone in Shirai Ryu was dead. Bi Han was taken aback with the news and asked who was responsible for that. Sektor answered that he didn't care as long as they didn't bother Lin Kuei. Cyrax looked at Sektor questionably but Bi Han was already leaving. Before he came out of the door, Sektor added that Scorpion was heard to participate in the tournament. Bi Han turned around for a moment, he had a concerned look on his face, and then finally left.

The next scene was too familiar for Hanzo. He saw himself as a ghost in front of Bi Han, he had already defeated Bi Han and Quan Chi was showing him the scenes of his family dying. Bi Han was watching it too. When he saw someone who looked like him, Bi Han tried to tell Hanzo it wasn't him but Hanzo didn't listen. And at that moment Hanzo noticed Bi Han wanted to use the rest of his powers to save himself (or at least to try). But then he whispered 'What have I done to you?' and put his hands down. Bi Han gave up and let Hanzo kill him.

Suddenly Hanzo woke up and saw a face upon him. Kuai Liang was right: it was Bi Han's work. Noob Saibot was on top of Hanzo. Noob looked surprised, he didn't expect Hanzo to wake up so early. Hanzo reacted immediately, threw Noob off himself and pinned the wraith to the wall. Hanzo warned he knew how to fight wraiths so Noob couldn't escape from him. He asked what Noob was doing here and why he had been showing him all those things. In a weak voice Noob replied he wanted Hanzo to see the truth. Hanzo noted he couldn't trust those visions and he didn't. Noob agreed and said it was Hanzo's choice to believe it or not. Then he asked Hanzo to let him go because Noob didn't want to hurt him. Hanzo got confused and asked for an explanation. Noob said: 'I do not control the darkness, the darkness controls me'. It reminded Hanzo of the discussion with Kuai Liang. Could that be related to Bi Han's former control of cryo powers? Before Hanzo could come to an answer, Noob said one more thing and it shocked Hanzo so much he eased the grab on him. Noob managed to escape. The words he said were 'I'm sorry'.

Hanzo couldn't get any sleep that night as all of that got him thinking. Was it true? If it was, Hanzo couldn't be mad at Bi Han anymore. He remembered warm moments they used to have and realized he still loved Bi Han but hadn't seen that because of the pain and anger. Hanzo had to question himself if he really loved Kuai Liang or he just tried to have something special with him as he couldn't have it with his brother? If he had feelings for both of them, what would he do? Now he knew Bi Han's ghost was still around and didn't disappear in the soulnado. Did Hanzo have to try to bring Bi Han back to life? Did he have to finally make it right with him? Did Bi Han himself want it? Could Bi Han overcome the darkness that controlled him?

Hanzo didn't tell Kuai Liang about the meeting with his brother. He was going to though, once he'd make a decision what to do. But that never happened. In a few days Hanzo was killed by D'Vorah.

Since I'm almost done posting my multichapter fic, I figured I should ask which fic I should post afterwards.

I'm here to share two Subscorp fics that were written by an Ao3 user. And I must say that I think it's worth more people reading these fics because the truth is that they are very good. Good no, they are beautiful! 💛💙
