Back at Sanctuary, every citizen of the floating island couldn't revert their eyes away from the tribesman with a lizard head and the half pirate, half dinosaur limping out of the fast-travel station. Both father and son bowed to each as if they knew the other would be alive despite being shot in the head or burning in molten lava. Speaking of injuries, Kaz's quickly healed enough to walk on his own. Walking at his father's pace toward the HQ, Kaz asks Zer0 of his time during his absence and in return Zer0 asks the same. Tina kept messing with his tail until she noticed the nine year old Nia clinging to Zer0's leg.

"What's with the jungle girl and I think I still owe you an ass-whooping. Come here!" Tina yells as she chases the scared girl around the pair of reptilians.

Zer0 picks Nia up as Kaz wraps his arms around Tina to restrain her. The other Vault Hunters only watched in amusement while reaching the building. Zer0 and Kaz stopped before the door, each took a deep breath, and stepped inside. Tannis was at her desk staring at them with shock and Angel spits coffee all over the table. Sitting in front of Angel, with her back turned, was Amita. It was almost like slow-motion when Amita started to turn around to face them, the tension to see if she would be frightened was thick, but they were ready. Amita was now facing them with a peanut-butter sandwich in her mouth. A few seconds of silence past before Amita charges them screaming,"Papa, Brother!" Kaz, letting go of Tina, was the first to give Amita a big hug and next Zer0, with Nia holding onto his shoulders. All in all, everything seemed to go back to normal just like that. The others enter as well, going back to business of looting the vaults that have been discovered. Maya and the others were just as surprised as Zer0 to find Amita completely unfazed with his and Kaz's appearance. On the bottom floor, Zer0 sits on the ground with his little siren sleeping sound asleep after a session of crying on his lap.

Being surrounded by his fellow Vault Hunters, not including the first four, Maya asks,"I thought you said one of the reasons why you kept this whole reptile thing a secret was because you fear Amita of rejecting you. and yet she completely ignored that fact."

Zer0 answer,"I, myself, am baffled by this."

Tannis was examining Zer0 up close and said,"I'm more baffled with the creature in front of me, right now."

Moments later, Moxxi joined the group inside and leaned on Zer0 giving him a warm welcome after figuring out who they were. Moxxi also gave a hug to Kaz who had Nia on his lap and Tina by his side, both of which were playing "Assault on Dragon Keep" on the computer. After that everyone goes back to pondering why Amita was so calm, just that mystery was bugging everyone. Kaz overhears the conversation and speaks about the reason why Amita was calm and perhaps the real reason why she cried.

Flashback: 3 years ago

Zer0 was in a suit fitting to his original form and holding onto Amita's small hands as she practiced to walk when she suddenly asks,"Papa, why don't I have a tail?"

Even though the tale of her being a star child was accepted, she was still his daughter, so Zer0 had no choice but to come up with another story to satisfy her curiosity. Zer0 then catches Kaz eating an apple, giving him an idea.

Zer0 rested on his knees and told his tale,"Before we knew you were from stars above, we thought you were a piece of fruit, because you were so small. And so, we thought your tail was the stem and snipped it off by mistake."

Amita started to swell up with tears and bursts out crying, running away at full speed and calling Zer0 a "meanie." Zer0 froze in place from the insult, feeling extreme guilt. Kaz unaware of the situation decided to ask Amita what happened and ended up getting an extreme demand from her,"Papa and brother are not allowed to have tails if Amita doesn't have one!" Passing this message along, Zer0 agreed immediately making Kaz dumb-struck.

End of Flashback

Everyone was dumbfounded themselves, while Zer0 scratches the back of his head saying,"Ah yes, now I remembered." Moxxi thinking it was a cute story decided it was a great time ask something with bit more wow factor.

"Now that everything's hunky-dory, there's still something bothering me, Hubby?" said Moxxie as she picked up Amita and patting her long green hair.

"How would you like to be my husband, Zer0? I basically took care of Amita like my own daughter for the past couple of months, so I think I'm qualified." exclaimed the bar hostess causing wide eyes to form on the lizard, but received snickers from the rest thinking about how Moxxi's collection continues to grow.

Zer0 was nervous about the proposition for his own reasons, so he snatches Amita out of Moxxi's hands and dashes out the door. Moxxi only sighs as the others laugh while some others gave confused stares.

"Don't you have enough husbands under your skirt?" Maya playfully accuses her.

"Well, I'm in need of one that can not only raise such cute children, but have a resilience to dying unfortunate deaths. Not to mention that innocent aura around his little angel, I wanna be spoiled the way she does." Moxxi confesses.

Axton says, "You're a little too old to be spoiled like.."

Moxxi gives him a death glare, announcing,"I'm not even close to the meaning old, so watch your mouth, soldier boy. Don't tell me you're thinking of Zer0, Maya."

"Zer0 is a close friend of ours. Showing care for what he holds precious is a given. Plus sirens need to stick together." Said Maya

"Well, Amita can't be surrounded by sister figures forever. She needs a mother and that's that." Moxxi proclaimed and winked at the group before leaving.


Zer0 and Amita were inside their ship washing up in the bath. Deep in thought, Zer0 failed to notice the slender figure appearing behind him. Feeling an unfamiliar form, so the reptilian looks over to the side to see Amita relaxing in the tub by herself. Zer0's eyes go wide as he froze in place, feeling his back being scrub. Looking in the foggy mirror, he could make out the familiar hair style belonging to...


"What the...! I only just made the game and people are already hacking!" Tina screams.

Tina screaming in frustration grabs Angel and asks her to ban the players from ever playing again. Soon Tina faced another problem of team-killing, leading her into a rage, as she flips the table over which hits another table causing a wrench to catapult into Kaz. The heavy tool bounces off his face, knocking out a tooth. Nia jumped off his lap as he held his mouth in pain, in order to pick up the tooth and quickly turned it into a necklace.

"Look!" Nia yelled catching the raging Tina's attention.

"I want one too!" after screaming her demand, Tina chases Kaz with a hammer.
