(A/N: Last chapter of my short story, thanks for readin it all the way through!)
"Apologies my friend, I didn't see you were coming" Hammerlock smiled and climbed up, offering a hand to Springs, which she happily accepted
"Oh, I didn't see you either. It was part my fault as well" She said and looked at him "Hm...you look bloody farmiliar…" Hammerlock smiled "I do eh? You must be Janey Springs then, correct?'' She nodded "Are you going to shout at me for indirectly helping Jack too?"
She sighed but Hammerlock laughed "You've mistaken me, I do not blame you for such things! I know the reason I may look familiar to you. The name "Hammerlock strike anything into your mind?" Janey thought for a bit "...Aurelia!"
He nodded "You helped my...rather bloody violent sister have the time of her life on Elpis, so I wouldn't hold it against you...especially since I'm responsible for Pandora's thresher problem…"
She smiled "You may be the only one here that hasn't mentioned it, besides the doctor and Scooter. I'm Janey Springs...what happened to your arm and leg…?" She asked softly and he chuckled "Oh Ol' Slappy. Thresher. He's dead now thanks to the Vault Hunters. Say how did you get here? We're quite a while from Elpis" She nodded
"I was brought here along with Athena. Uh, the girl in Lance armour with the shield and sword, she's my girlfriend" She smiled brightly
"Is that so? Well in that case congratulations. I don't think anyone could even lay a finger on you without her cutting their hand off, in similar fation to how Ol' Slappy feels about my hand…regardless though you should totally read my book on the creatures on Pandora. Because on Pandora, everything wants to kill you and there's way more creatures to find. I'm a zoologist if that wasn't clear" He smiled "Mechanic, junk dealer, and children's books author"
Hammerlock raised an eyebrow "Is that so? Well good on you. I hope you're not as creepy as that ghastly man Scooter" She laughed "Oh I'm normal as normal can be. And Scooter is my best friend!" Hammerlock shook her hand "In that case, good on you. Apologies but I have business to attend to at the moment. A pleasure to meet you Springs. And regardless, welcome to Sanctuary!"
She nodded and watched the man walk away. She looked over at Athena. "Still telling her story...there's probably other people here too though…" She said softly to herself and walked through some roofed thing with a chest and fast travel in it. She looked around "Marcus? He's probably decent…" She said to herself and walked in the shop.
Downstairs the staircase. She yelped as a gun flew by her head and she heard a man laughing. She frowned and finished the stairs "You thought that was funny huh?" She said annoyed at the man who nodded "Hahaha, yeah it was pretty funny. I'm Marcus, here to get guns? Welcome! Not buying guns? GET OUT! Janey nodded
"Okay...so how much for a...Maliwan fire blaster laser?" Marcus shook his head "I got no lasers. Because uh...there's not one laser on Pandora, lady. Buy somethin' else or leave''
"A Dahl SMG then…" Janey sighed "Why no lasers though? Marcus slammed his fist on the counter "Do not talk about lasers, I got none. Got it?" He tossed the gun on the counter and crossed his arms "400$" Janey took the gun and nodded and handed over the money she had, which was suprisingly not taken by Lilith
"You don't need to shout" She crossed her arms "Someone's touchy. Maybe it was your fault? Who knows" She shrugged and walked back out.
"What the hell kind of place is this…" She looked around. Her eye caught a woman wearing red overalls and goggles, waving around with a wrench around the CL4P-TP unit she had been helping on Elips, so she walked over
"Fragtrap!" She greeted with a smile.
The woman looked at her "Oh hello! Welcome to Sanctuary, make sure not to enjoy the view too much as we are several hudred meters over ground level. Get too curious and you may fall out and splatter into a million pieces. And we wouldn't want that now would we? Though I am trying to find volenteers for the scientific experiment. I am Patricia Tannis by the way. The town's genious. Judging your accent however, I can tell you originate from Elpis. The land of lasers, kraggons and being horribly squashed by giant flaming meteors, correct?"
Janey nodded quickly, but she didn't remember half of what the woman said "Yes...yeah of course! A kraggon did this to me" She showed her scar and Tannis' eyes widen "Do you mind if I run some tests later? On that scar?"
Springs quickly shook her head "I do mind! Touch me and Athena will cut you in half!" Claptrap rolled over to the girls "Janey Springs! What are YOU doing HERE? You didn't come all this way just to see me, did you?"
Springs shook her head "Oh no, I was captured. It's great to see you though! Where's your guns? I swore you packed heat on Elpis?" Claptrap looked down "Oh, yeah. Jack removed my Vault package after he became all evil and stuff, so I don't do very much now, other than lighting the mood here in Sanctuary by telling various jokes! Want to hear? Knock knock!"
Springs smiled a bit "Who's there?"
"Someone who knocks on doors!" Claptrap bursted out laughing.
She looked at Tannis who shrugged "His jokes are rather horrible...wanna hear a real joke? What's small, bloody and has a long tongue?" Janey looked at her questionfull
"A baby skag after you've stomped on its brain" After Claptrap finally was done laughing, he poked Janey's leg "Wanna see my dansin'?" She looked over to Athena "Yeah, but I think I gotta go back to-"
Claptrap interrupted her by starting to beatbox and bust some moves "Oh come on everybody, check me out I'm dansin'! I'm dansin'!" He yelled as he kept beatboxing. Janey couldn't help but laugh at him "Now that's really something Fragtrap! Good on ya! I just gotta go back to Athena now, allright?" She smiled and turned around "Wait wait! Springs!"
She turned around and the robot held his hand up. She laughed and give him a high-five. This made Claptrap dance even faster "Woowe! Finally someone who loves me!"
Springs smiled and returned to Athena, hugging her from behind and snuggleing her. Athena chuckled and looked at her "Someone wants cuddles" Janey nodded and kissed her "Very much so. I've been walking around now, met loads of people. I'm tired and I want you now" Janey grinned and Athena blushed and tried pushing her off "Janey, we can do that later, people are around" She said quietly "Fair enough, you owe me later though" Janey smiled "So what do you think of this place, hon?" Athena asked and cuddled her girlfriend "Eh, I've been worse, though most of these people, especially Moxxi hate me" The gladiator nodded "I'll take care of it in due time sweetie. Welcome to Sanctuary, baby" She smiled and leaned back and kissed Janey
