They walked past Marcus' shop and through the alley that served as the entrance to CL4P-TP D1N3R. Lilith and Erick met Maya and Montayva and the gang chose a booth. Lilith and Maya sat one side and Erick and Montayva on the other. Shortly after, Gaige came skipping in, her pigtails bouncing with every stride. She stopped on Montayva's side and turned on her innocent voice.

"Montyyy, can I sit between you two?"

The siren just stared expectantly.

Gaige put her hands together. "Pleeease?"

Montayva stood up and the Mechromancer quickly slid in next to Erick while Montayva sat back on the end. A black robot that looked like a box on one wheel was wearing a moustache and top hat.

He rolled up to the table and spoke in a gentleman's voice. "Hello, welcome to Claptrap's Diner, the finest restaurant in Sanctuary. I am CL27-TP but you can call me by my locally designated name, Reginald. I will be your waiter this fine evening."

The group ordered their food and Reginald passed out glasses of water. Erick took a sip from his glass and looked over at Gaige. She quickly looked away and Erick could see her blushing under the black smudge on her face.

"Your face is dirty." Erick said as he dipped his napkin into his water. "Hold still." He gently held her chin and wiped the black mark off her cheek.

When he was done, she looked over at him and gave a shy smile. "Thanks."

"You're welcome." He smiled back.

Lilith cut in. "So Erick, you already know my question."

"Yeah, I suppose I do. My power is electricity, anything from simple magnetism to godlike lightning."

"What were you doing with that tower?"

"The tower is a Tesla Coil. I was using it to charge myself up because whenever I use my power, it expends my energy. I can recharge by sucking down some juice or by absorbing Eridium."

There was a loud crash back by the kitchen. Their waiter spilled a tray of food on Claptrap when he tripped on a mop. Claptrap began yelling violently.

"What the *beep* are you doing! This is the third time this month; do you want to go to the scrap yard? Clean this *beep* mess up!"

Claptrap picked up the tray and smacked Reginald with it. He rolled over to the Vault Hunters' table and apologized.

"I'm so sorry, that was your meal. Because of that inconvenience, your dinner tonight will be free."

Claptrap turned and rolled back into the kitchen, giving Reginald another smack with the tray.

"Interesting." Lilith turned her attention back to the group. "Where were we?"

"Erick, electricity, Eridium." Maya replied.

"Oh yes, Eridium. Does it make you more powerful like it does me?"

Erick thought for a few seconds and said. "Yes and no. Eridium is the source of my power. The more energy I have, the more powerful my attacks can be, but I am like a battery and I need to recharge."

"So if you are like us, then where is your mark?" Maya inquired.

Erick lifted the sleeve on his left arm and raised it so everyone could see. His mark was the color of his skin and looked almost like a burn scar. The design didn't flow like the sirens' marks, but was jagged and looked almost like lightning.

"Why does it look that way?"

Erick lowered his arm and explained. "I don't know why it looks this way. But I do know that I was not born with this. When I was 17, I was home alone one night. Out of nowhere there was an explosion in my backyard, I thought someone lit off a cherry bomb or something back there so I went to investigate. I walked outside and saw this purple, glowing, meteor rock in a smoking crater. You know what I do next?"

"What?" Lilith asked.

"I tried to pick it up but as soon as I touched it, I went lights out. Next thing I remember is I'm waking up in the hospital emergency room with an unsolved crossword puzzle etched onto my arm and an unexplained knowledge of these beautiful demigods called sirens who also happen to be my sisters."

Erick leaned back in his seat and studied the girls, trying to see what they were thinking. Montayva broke the silence when she asked. "How old are you and where are you from?"

"I am 18 years old right now if I remember correctly. My home planet is one called Earth; it is in the Milky Way galaxy."

"I have never heard of Earth before."

"It's probably because we thought we were the only ones in the universe until 20 years ago when a Dahl mining ship made contact with our Moon base. Almost had to shoot them out of the solar system because they seem to think they can mine anywhere they please."

Reginald wheeled over to their table with their food. The gang finished the night with their meals along with stories about the Vault Hunters' adventures over the past six years.
