So I noticed there weren't many Siren squared fics and I figured I'd write one so..here we go. I own nothing, by the way.


Lilith hasn't changed out of the blood soaked clothing she'd been wearing when she phase shifted out of BN3KR. No. She sat at the Crimson HQ and stared at the wall while fights erupted around her. Brick, Axton and Salvador wanted to go in guns blazing, Zero and Mordecai wanted to plan something methodically. She waited to hear what Roland or Maya had to say and then realized she would not be hearing from them. The blood on her shirt belonged to Roland and Maya? Well she pushed Lilith out of the way when she saw the collar Jack had in his hand which caused her powers to remain unfocused and sent her back to Marcus' instead of the throttle she'd been ready to give that half plastic prick. She couldn't believe it. They were gone. The two most important people in her life were gone, one never to be seen again and the other being tortured for something that should have been her burden to bare. /She/ was the one acting out of impulse. /She/ was the one the collar had been meant for. Not Maya. Explosive, sarcastic Maya who could be found in some random corner of Sanctuary with some tattered book opened in her lap while her gun rested beside her. The serious blue haired girl who was the ice queen to her fire hawk and yet they danced around a battlefield like they'd been partners their entire life. Everyone envied them, and not for the usual insane level of powers that they possessed. No. It was their partnership. Each of the vault hunters had their counterpart. Both old and new and while the others were based upon skill alone, the two women seemed the share a different connection. A deeper level than just being the same 'species'. That same connection was what caused Maya to push her out of the way and take the metaphorical bullet. And it was that same connection that had her mind turning about ways to get her home safe and sound. Or at least in one piece.

"Can you all shut the hell up? I'm trying to think here." She finally spoke up, the men in the room seeming almost startled after not hearing her for so long. When they quieted down she took a breath and nodded. "Thank you. Now. Fighting has obviously gotten us nowhere, and we need to get Maya back. She isn't safe with Jack but we know that he's going to keep her alive. It's not like Siren's are in high supply." She laughed darkly, devoid of humor as she shook her head. "I'm gonna shower, change and when I get back here. I expect at least some sort of cooperation between all of you. That's one of us in there."

Everyone seemed to agree with this idea as Lilith stepped out of the planning and made her way through the streets of Sanctuary; trying in vain to ignore the looks of pity thrown her way. Everyone had known of Roland's demise and Maya's capture. They also knew that this made her the Crimson's defacto leader (whether she liked it or not). How she sorely missed the days of being a false God to a bunch of pyromaniacs. That time was long over now, though but she didn't regret it. The end of her 'reign' was met with Maya, and you wouldn't find her complaining about that one bit. She had someone who understood her, truly in every sense of the word. Someone who understood the rush of the glowing ink that littered holed body, and the way that it drained you when you were over exerted. Someone who knew what it was like to travel alone, even if you had people with you. Before she had a chance to reach the place she, Maya and Gaige had been staying a call came through from Tina. She sighed, not wanting to talk to her but not having the heart to ignore the little girl.

"Tee, what can I do for you?" She asked, trying her best to sound at least remotely cordial.

"Fire Mama! Heard 'bout the Fugly man taking Ice Babe. Wanna blow 'me outta the sky? I tried hittin' up Roland but he's a fool and don't know how to answer!" The girl's voice was as bubbly as ever and Lilith realized something. Whoever told her about Maya didn't say a word about Roland...and she wasn't about to do it over a call.

As she unlocked the door and regarded Gaige with a small nod as she tinkered with her overturned bot, Lilith sighed. "No blowing things up, T. We still have to get Maya back. I'll send Morty out to get you and bring you back to base so you can help us with the plan okay?"

There was a pause, the sound of some things clattering and a minor boom, but Tina soon answered. "Yuppers! Tell him to leave the birdy behind though, biddy. Sir Reginald is allergic to the feathers. I'll see you in a bit, ta!"

Before she had a chance to answer the call disconnected and she let out a sigh of relief. She wasn't quite ready to deal with what would happen when Tina found out about Roland, so she decided her shower would take a little bit longer.

"G! Head down to HQ and tell Mordecai to grab Tina at her place. I'll be around later I have some stuff to take care of." The younger girl popped her head in and nodded, studying the Siren for a moment.

"We're gonna get her back, Lil. Don't worry. I'll see you back there." She left without a response, leaving Lilith to sit and allow herself a breath as she glanced over at the methodically neat belongings that belonged to Maya. The girls always poked fun at her about how anal she could get when it came to cleaning while both of them were slobs and in this moment she wished she could see those eyes narrowed at her in unamusement once more.

"We're coming to get you, My. Just hold on." Her words fell on an empty apartment as she went about going to take a shower and change.


The first blast of Eridium awoke Maya with a jolt she'd never felt before. It was so bad she actually preferred a shot from an electric Tediore over feeling that again. Why had she played hero again? Why push Lilith out of the way like she had. Oh right. She couldn't stand the thought of her being hurt. Knowing this could have been her, even with the redhead's tolerance to the element now in her veins; she realized this was why she did it.

"Maya, Maya, Maya. I figured you'd have a little more fight in you!" She knew that voice all too well and it made her stomach churn. Jack. He was there and as her vision refocused she saw him not five feet away. "Come after me, I dare ya." He almost sneered, his plastic like face grinning at her as she stared back at him.

She lunged, or tried to. Not only was she being held in place but the collar now on her sent a shock through her body that would have dropped her to her knees had she not been cemented in place. This brought a laugh from the man, his hand gripping at her top tightly to pull her head closer. "This is what you get when you fuck with the best, little girl. I'm going to drain you of every last ounce of power you have. Then? I'm gonna make you kill each and every last one of your little friends. And the ? Oh I'm looking forward to this part. I'm gonna put a bullet in your brain. Sound good? Yeah. It does." With that he let her top go and walked off, disappearing and leaving her alone with her thoughts.

She wanted to cry, scream for help, something. It was no use though and she knew that. Instead she let her head drop between her shoulders and her eyes close, a slow breath leaving her lips.

"I hope you guys have a plan."


Review even if you hate it. Chapter 2 coming soon.
