I know 12 took me forever but I swear I haven't forgotten this story! I changed Ama's age to 18 and Emery to age 20 in chapter two this morning so if you are confused this is why. I wanted her and Emery to have a two year age difference but no other changes. I'm going to follow my main three for the next few chapters before I jump to Gaige and Hal. I'm sorry about the long bit but I had shit pile up on me and a rough two weeks at work plus working a second job and working to get out of both jobs to get more into my field. I don't own Borderlands except my OCs and yada yada because if I owned Borderlands I wouldn't be working two jobs to pay bills lol. I do however own this delicious tea I'm drinking. And if anyone is confused since singing and thoughts are the same, I will say when something is thought like "So this is thinking," -insert character's name- thought, otay? I'm also going to start making the chapters a lot longer soon since well got all the stuff I needed to get done with shorter chapters are done. So bear with the thousand word chapters for now. Yet again, sorry this took over a month. So yeah now on with the chapter. After I post this I'll start working on 14 where we will run into 13 and Zer0 training.
Reader: I plan on keeping up but like I said in the A/N busy and haven't had much time to do many things. I might wind up making a facebook page where you can check out when I'll be updating and if so I'll link you or just keep following.
Chapter 13
Axton and Emery, Pandora, Three Horns Divide, Caustic Caverns
"So, little brother, let's see what that ex of mine taught you in the field. We are going to the Caustic Caverns and I will see how good you are. Maybe we should ask your girlfriend to join us," Axton teased earning a shove from Emery as the two went down the stairs.
"She's not my girlfriend. I don't think she's even into men," Emery replied with a light sigh.
"Well just ask her, see if she wants to go to Moxxi's or ask her like I did Maya-"
"Ask me what?" the familiar voice asked with a hint of a flirt. "Are you talking about asking me on a date and our date was you and I running through Mr. Torgue's Badass Crater killing stuff? Such a romantic at heart, aren't you, Axton."
"Well it worked darlin. If not, you wouldn't have gone."
"I went to kill things but I guess I got something nice on the side with you." Maya bent down and kissed Axton on the cheek affectionately. "Anyways, you should properly introduce me to your cute, little brother."
Ama giggled with how Maya was flirting with him. Unknown to Emery, Ama had heard their chat but she was keeping herself hidden with Lilith in Lilith's phasewalk ability. Lilith elbowed her and smiled. Ama knew what Lilith was hinting at the fact for some reason a Commando type likes a Siren or at least that's how it seemed to work on Pandora.
"Look, I'll bring Ama and the four of us can go through the Caverns. I've also got another idea to test out which I think you can guess, Axton," Maya said with a grin. "Zer0 is busy with 13 and Mordecai will join them. Brick and Athena are too busy arguing over something stupid. Gaige went with Hal to Tina's mostly to calm him down after her blatant flirting with Emery."
Ama and Lilith walked away so Ama could be found but far away from Emery, Axton, and Maya as to make sure at least Axton and Emery didn't know she overheard their conversation. Slowly Emery walked out of the building and saw Ama sitting on the steps.
"Remember what Axton said," Emery thought.
"So um, Ama, would you want to go with me to Caustic Caverns?" Emery asked nervously.
"As a date or something else because I think we are going to be stuck with some chaperones," Ama replied with a smile. "Although, no guy has ever asked me on a date where I can use my powers and kill things. Most just want to wine and dine their way into my heart and want to forget that I'm a Siren."
"Well if you want or if you're you know interested. Axton and Maya yeah sure will be there but we can think of it like we are meeting each other's families."
"Why not? It could be fun."
Ama smiled brightly at Emery with her tattoos glowing brightly. He knew that had to mean she was happy but what about 13? He had seen them kiss each other and show affection.
"You're thinking about my relationship with 13. It is written on your face," Ama said flatly. "She and I were girlfriends until we decided to become truly partners. We still do things but no strings attached. And no I'm into both so don't start."
"Axton and Maya also cooked up a plan for us. They want us to work together. Something how those two have found out," Emery added in.
"Sounds like a fun date. Count me in!"
The two walked slowly to the fast travel station wondering what their "trainers" had in store for them. The two young ones were not too excited knowing what the two older hunters could do to them. Those two had been partners for about five years where Emery and Ama just knew each other for less than a month! They watched the older duo leave through the fast travel station and clicked to notice that Caustic Caverns weren't on their traveling list.
"Well we are fucked," Ama said hand on her left hip leaning to her left.
"Not yet, I think I'm getting an Echo from Axton," Emery replied.
"You'll have to meet up with us by going to Three Horns Valley and head to Three Horns Divide to end up at the Sanctuary Hole then you can get to the Caustic Caverns. This is part of your test," Axton said in a message to Emery's Echo device.
The pair looked at each other with a weird look on their faces.
"What is your brother planning?" Ama asked.
"Same I could ask of Maya," Emery replied smirking. "Axton wants to see what dear ex wife of his taught me."
"Maya wants to see my actions out in the field I think."
Emery pressed the button for the two of them to fast travel to head to the first part of their mission, Three Horns Valley.
