Athena sits alone inside Moxxi's Bar in Sanctuary. She sits on a box staring off into nothing. Sees someone approaching. Doesn't pay any particular attention until they stand in front of her blocking Athena's view of the blank wall in front of her.

Gen stands in Athena's way as she looks her up and down. "May I sit please?" She asked crossing her arms as she gave her a blank face expression.

Athena looked up at Gen, looking only at her eyes. "Sure…whatever. You can't do anything worse than what…never mind." Athena slouches forward her head hanging. After a moment she pats the crate next to her.

Gen was confused but she sat on the crate yawning, not sure what was going to happen or why she was even there.

"I'm looking for someone, I need to get away – go into hiding." Athena looks at Gen and is silent.

Gen's eyes widen. "Then what are you waiting for?!"

"Everyone around here seems to think I'm some sort of traitor, since I helped Handsome Jack come to power. Are you any different?" Athena still looks at Gen.

Gen sighs. "I don't know…"

Athena looks away in disgust, but says honestly. "I don't blame you, I should be treated like a traitor – I don't want to be – but that's why I have to leave."

Gen punches her. "Don't look that way. Then leave Assassin."

"But…I don't want to leave alone. Now that Handsome Jack's dead, and I've been pretty much labeled an enemy of the Crimson Raiders I don't have anyone that could possibly go with me." Athena looks back at Gen. "Why are you even talking to me anyway?"

Gen sighs, "You're pretty, that's why."

Athena blushes, and stammers. "I'm w-what?" Mouth hangs open for a second, and then she closes it a look of confusion crosses over her face. "Why would anyone think that? I kill for a living, and more than most mercenaries at that."

Gen shrugs, "I just like that in a girl."

"You like that in a girl?" Athena is speechless for a moment. "Well then, will you help me escape Sanctuary and try and find…anything somewhere else?"

Gen nodded as she grabs her hand and walks outside.

They wander around until Athena stops, she pulls Gen to a stop as well. "Do you know where you're going? We can't stay in Sanctuary for much longer."

Gen nodded, "We're going to Atlas!" She runs away.

Athena follows her, excited at the prospect of living in a new town.

Gen smiled and walks next to her.

They make it to the fast travel station, and Athena punches in the coordinates for Atlas.

Gen watches excited.

"Uh…where in Atlas do you want to go?" Athena asks Gen, a faint smile on her lips. But the rest of her seems to be sad, almost regretting something.

Gen shrugs, "Any where we can get away from our problems."

"Wait…our problems? Ha, I'm the one with the problems. Hello? Wanted Assassin who was instrumental in placing Handsome Jack on the thrown of Pandora," Athena paused then lowered her voice. "What problems do you have?"

Gen sighs softly, "I had to become a stripper or I would be killed."

Athena seems astonished, "And why would people want to kill you, now that you're a stripper? Seems ot me like you should be fine now, at least in my eyes. I…" Suddenly nervous, "… I … like strippers." Her cheeks flame, and she activates the fast travel station. Gen and Athena are transported to the grand central station of Atlas, which helps control the traffic of fast travel stations in and out of Atlas's head quarters.

Gen blushed red as she looks away, "Oh really?"

Athena looks around her to make sure their immediate surroundings were empty of people, and possible eavesdroppers. "Yeah, I can't help it. I love the way you move, even when you aren't performing. I know who I am, and I take pride in it. I also don't care what others … may or may not think. Although that has seemed to have gotten me banished from Sanctuary."

Gen nodded as she listens to Athena talk about her experience with Sanctuary. "So what do we do now?" She asked smiling brightly.

"Well are you going to live with me? Would only one room be fine? I'm assuming … you know, you want to live with me," Athena moves to scratch the back of her neck, but just ends up smoothing the tops of her combat gloves across the back of her armor.

Gen smiles but then shrugs, "It's up to you."

After thinking for a moment, Athena goes to an info station selects available houses and selects one near Atlas HQ's limits. Athena leads Gen on the 30-minute walk to the house and they stand in front of it. It's two stories one main floor and a furnished basement. "So what do you think?" Athena asked.

Gen's eyes widen, "I-it's beautiful Athena!" She ran inside as she jumps on the bed screaming.

Athena sighs following her in and when she sees Gen on the bed she laughs. "Well I'm glad you like it.

Gen rolls around as she was excited.

Athena chuckles but covers it up with a cough. She then sighs, realizing something and asks in a quiet voice. "Do you need anything to drink? I thought we might go out for dinner in a few hours. But … do you want a drink now?"

Gen nodded. "Ice tea please!" She hops off the bed and she looks in the basement slightly scared.
