A/N: Thanks for reading! This was planned to be a one-shot, but the word count got too high, so I'm splitting the story up to 3-4 chapters instead

Janey woke up.

Darkness.

Everything, just darkness.

But motion.

She soon realized she was being dragged or carried by someone big, probably. She was getting scared.

What the hell was going on?! She tried to remember what happened. Hat girl...Athena...ATLAS...Vault Hunters! But how...she had kept her distance. Didn't matter. She was going where Athena was going...minutes turned to hours and hours...probably turned to days from what she could tell.

She woke up again and now she was on a hard surface. Probably rock or something. Janey let out a gasp as she saw maybe 4-5 masked people all pointing SMGs at her. She looked around some more. A big guy, a mask wearing guy and...one of the ones responsible for trying to kill Athena and the others with Jack. "YOU" She interrupted whatever was going on.

She looked besides her to see who she had cut off and saw…"Athena!" She yelled and tried to move over to her but one of the men fired a warning shot. Athena looked at her smiling softly "Hey honey...about Fiona-''

"Continue!" Lilith yelled and Athena sighed

"And that's how the hero who saved us on Helios died. That's when I left Handsome Jack's employ" Athena said in a finishing matter "You regret teaming up with Jack?" Lilith asked. Athena nodded "Yes. Now do what you will, though keep Janey out of it"

Lilith walked around for a bit, probably thinking "Kill them" She simply said "What?!" "No!" Lilith looked at the two guys glaring "If it weren't for people like them our friends would still be alive!" She snapped at them

"Athena…?" Springs looked at her girlfriend with teary eyes as the vault hunters started yelling at eachother. Athena looked back "Janey, I love you so m-"

"FIRE!"

Janey closed her eyes and got ready for the bullets. She heard the guns firing, but...she didn't feel any bullets tearing her up like a kraggon baby tearing up girlfriends, they just...stopped. Janey looked up in tears and got even more frightened when she saw some weird alien. It had stopped the bullets and now they dropped on the ground.

"Now's not the time for bickering, Vault Hunters. War is coming. And you will need all vault hunters you can get" She blacked out again.

She woke up later on some kind of bed. "Ugh...Athena…?" She yelped as she saw a man standing above her with a syringe in his hand "Gha! I'm awake!" She got up quickly "Please don't hurt me…"

The man laughed a little "Not here to hurt you. I am Dr. Zed, the doctor in town...although I do not have a license for it anymore" Springs stared at the doctor and nodded "Janey Springs…" She walked out slowly.

Where the hell was she?

She spotted Athena over by where she almost were shot. She walked over and hugged her "Oh I'm glad you're okay!"

Athena chuckled "You were worried? I was more worried about you. Look, I know you're upset for me going out and doing...whatever you didn't want me to, but…"

Springs put a finger on Athena's lips "Shh, it's fine. I saw Hat girl betraying you" She looked at the little girl who was awkwardly looking at the pair

"Ah! How 'bout a little privacy?!" She yelled

"Excuse Moi, but Lady Athena were telling a story, and you, Madam have seemed to interrupted her story" The little girl laid in a polite manner and Springs made a confused look "That's Tina. She's uh…" The big guy begun "FREAKING AWESOME!" Tina exclaimed

"You'll have to get used to her...though good luck" The masked man said almost into his bottle "Mordecai, Brick. The guys who...caught Athena over here, 'member us? Had a good look from those bushes?" He smirked "You didn't actually think you were hidden did you?"

Springs rolled her eyes "At least I didn't get owned by one girl with a little gun" She said

"What happened to your stomach?" Tina said "Oh...uh a kraggon bit me…" Tina looked confused at her "A what? They don't exist! On Pandora there's Skags, Rakks, Stalkers, Bullymongs, Thre-" "We get your point, Tina…" Mordecai said and sipped his Rakk Ale.

"Oh I wasn't bit here. Kraggons live on Elpis, the moon" Janey smiled "Oooh, you're from the FRICKING MOON?!" Tina yelled "THAT'S SO COOL! How is it like?! Is it true that you have laser weapons?" Springs nodded "Yup…"

She scrached her head "So what were you um...talking about?" She looked back at Athena "Oh...just telling the same story I did to Lilith an hour ago. The one she attemted to kill us for…"

She shrugged "So yeah...why don't you go ahead and explore Sanctuary a little bit, hon? And then I'll come to you whenever?" Springs bit her lip and nodded "Yeah…sure thing, hon"
