Doctor Suture and Nurse Katelyn walked through the storage deck of the Crimson Falcon, the two of them dressed in their professional clothing. The storage deck was full of various containers, most of them containing food and supplies (and chocolate chip cookies and salads for one special explosives expert who will go unnamed), but hidden inside was also the tube that held the Siren.

"Remember, she may turn out to be violent, so expect that," stated Suture far too calmly, his pace brisk and sharp. "I don't want to shut off the oxygen in this place, but I can survive without it for at least ten minutes."

"I brought an oxygen tank with me," elaborated Katelyn blankly.

He looked at her outfit and noted its skimpiness. "Where could you have possibly hidden it?"

She winked at him. "Don't ask questions you don't want answered doctor."

He blushed fiery red and turned away, continuing his walk to the tube.

He pushed a box aside and revealed it. The SDU had perfectly transported it to the storage deck without a hitch, all the equipment nearby and everything running at optimum capacity. The Siren inside, Aurai, had no wounds from the hyperspace storage either, no signs of any physical damage anyway.

Suture began pushing some buttons on the side, carefully inputting the necessary codes. "Be ready. I don't know how she'll react. If she remembers me, well…I'll deal with it personally."

Nurse Katelyn nodded, standing in front of the tube. She gazed at the Siren, noting her physique. "She's fairly cute."

"Hmm? I suppose," muttered the surgeon blankly.

The nurse got quietly concerned as she noticed something. "Her breasts are…extremely large."

"Hmm?" Suture looked at Aurai critically, than shrugged. "And?"

"They're….bigger than Tina's."

"You are correct of course, mainly since you helped me with Tina's medical examination. Aurai is at least a cup larger."

"…is that even possible?"

"Clearly so, since Aurai is here in the flesh."

He tapped a button, hovering over a small switch. "Well….here it goes."

He flipped the switch.

The tube hissed as the stored air croaked open, releasing the hidden atmosphere of the tube. The wires that connected to the Siren's skin retracted slowly, popping off and hanging loosely around her.

The Siren, Aurai, opened her eyes, white ones as pale as snow, and took a deep breath.

Then she fell forward, losing her balance easily.

Katelyn caught her, showing remarkable strength for someone her size. "Easy now. Try to remain calm."

The Siren looked around hurriedly, her eyes analyzing every detail. "Where…where am I?"

"Someplace safe," assured the nurse gently, her inner tenderness being exposed. "You're safe."

Aurai gazed at her in wonder. "Who are you?"

Katelyn smiled. "I'm Katelyn."

"Kate…Kateling?"

The nurse giggled. "No, Katelyn. Say it with me. Kate…"

"…lyn," finished the Siren.

All this time, Suture stood to the side awkwardly, not wanting to speak to his former test subject. He was grateful she appeared unharmed in both mental and physical ways, but he didn't want to intrude.

Aurai glanced at him, focusing on him instantly. "Who are you?"

The surgeon gulped. "My name is Suture."

"Su…Su…Suchore?"

Katelyn giggled at her behavior. "No, his name is Suture."

"Suture?"

"Yes, that's right."

Aurai looked at the two of them, her mind still processing everything. Then she looked directly at Katelyn and spoke.

" Katelyn is Mommy."

The nurse paused, her eyes widening in shock.

Aurai gazed at Suture, speaking to him as well.

"Suture is Daddy."

The surgeon's fist tightened, biting back tears. He clearly had done something wrong. She didn't remember him at all. If she had, she would've tried to kill him or at least acknowledge that he was the one who had done horrible experiments on her. This was salt in his wounds, and he was pouring it on by the pint in his own mind.

Katelyn smiled at the Siren. "Yes, I'm your Mommy."

Aurai looked at her in wonder. "Mommy…"

"Yes."

The Siren threw her arms around her neck, showing no restrain at all. "Mommy!"

Katelyn hugged her back, her eyes filling with tears of happiness.

Aurai let go of her, picking herself up to go to Suture.

"No please don't…" begged the surgeon weakly.

The Siren ignored him and hugged him tightly, barely going to his shoulder due to her short height.

"Daddy!"

He stood shocked, wishing that it had not come to this. He wished her hug would turn deadly, that she'd reveal that she was kidding and wanted him to lower his guard so she could injure him. He wanted her to remember her past and try to kill him. He wouldn't resist her either, his words about clearing the cargo bay of oxygen being hollow. He only did that to protect the others, not because he himself wanted protection. Deep inside, he wanted this child to hate him and be repulsed by him.

But she did none of that. Her face was full of joy, as she had been reunited with her real father.

He offered a false smile, if only to make her feel better. "Yes, I'm your Daddy."

Aurai released herself from him, bobbing on her feet excitedly. She didn't speak, her mind simply filled with the ecstatic knowledge of having two parents.

Katelyn grabbed her hand. "Come on, we have to let you meet the rest of the family!" She seemed legitimately excited, her internal motherly instincts taking over.

"Okay!" chimed the Siren rapidly going with the idea.

The two of them ran off to collect the rest of the crew, leaving the surgeon to himself.

Suture glanced mournfully at the tube. "She didn't even comment on the fact that we 'birthed' her from that thing. Something is off, and I need to uncover it."

"Hi everyone! I'm Aurai, a Siren! I like sweets, pop music, and any animal even slightly cute! I drink chocolate milk for breakfast, marshmallow pastries for lunch and macaroons for dinner!"

She bit her lip, trying to remember something else. "What else…? Oh right! I also love my Mommy and Daddy very much!"

Aurai: You WISH you knew someone this cute

The table of Vault Hunters, all composed killers of the highest degree, all had a simultaneous meltdown of cuteness proximity, some of them more composed than others.

"I am ADOPTING THIS CHILD!" roared Gaige running to the Siren and grabbing her.

"No you are not!" snapped Paula. "I'm taking her!"

Someone incredibly tall walked over to both of them, silencing them into submission.

"You both are mistaken," stated Captain Wolfenstein blankly. "I will adopt this child." He said it with the straightest, most composed face imaginable, but it was obvious the adorability of his newest teammate was affecting him.

They both silently submitted to his will, backing away in fear.

He glanced at the child, who cowered before him. It made sense, seeing as how he stood two feet taller than her with a build like a refrigerator.

"Ah! Scary!"

Aurai ran to Katelyn, her Mommy. "Mommy! Help me!"

The nurse instantly wrapped her arms around her, protecting her with all her will.

Wolfenstein seemed to migrate to a corner, his head bowed in shame. "I terrified a child. I am a terrible person."

Baldemar glanced at him concerned. "Uh…it's not your fault dude. You are kinda intimidating."

"…perhaps I should smile more?"

"Uh, no. You look like a serial killer when you smile."

"…I cannot adopt that child."

"No one will be adopting my daughter!" roared Katelyn aggravated. Then she blushed, slightly stunned by her audacity.

Gaige smirked. "Your daughter?"

The nurse looked away embarrassed. "Well…"

"Go on. Keep her. She sees you as her Mommy anyway."

"That's right!" yelled Aurai firmly. "Katelyn is Mommy!"

The schoolgirl smiled. "Of course. Can I be your Aunty? My name's Gaige."

The Siren thought about it, than grinned. "Okay! Aunty Gaige!"

Gaige shook her fists in triumph. "Yes! And that means Baldemar is your Uncle, right?"

"Who?"

Baldemar stood up. "I'm Baldemar."

"Oh…Uncle Baldemar!"

He chuckled. "Yeah…that's me."

Paula stepped forward, tears in her eyes. She seemed legitimately saddened by the turn of events, having been left out for a moment. "What about me Aurai? What am I?"

The Siren thought about it, her cute face posing like a serious scientist. "Big Sister!"

The artist scooped her up, hugging her tightly. "Awesome! I'm your Big Sister Paula, okay?"

The Siren giggled excitedly. "Right!"

She was dropped to the ground gently and she walked over to Dion, the other Titan in the room. He glanced up at her, as she was a head taller than he was.

She grinned at him, not at all bothered by the height difference. "Big Brother Dion!"

He puffed his chest with pride at the title. "Of course. That only makes sense." He tried to keep his voice calm, which was hard for a man like him at that moment.

"What about me?!" asked Alan frantically, the cuteness beginning to overwhelm him. Of course, stoicism wasn't something he tended to show a lot of, so it's not like they expected much out of him anyway in the presence of a cute thing.

"You're Cousin Alan!"

"Yes! Victory!"

Lupus glanced at her. Out of all of them, he was the most composed around the child, though he did dislike kids to some degree. This did not mean he'd be mean to her though, he just didn't like being with them for long periods of time. "What about me?"

"Cousin Lupus!"

He smirked, showing a small moment of weakness. "I like it."

Taika smiled at the kid. "What about me?"

"Granny Taika!"

The huntress stifled. "…I'm that old?"

Saprus burst into laughter. "Naw, you're just mature."

"You're Grandpa Saprus!"

They both paused, blushing beet red at the implications of what the child was saying. Not at the old comments, but what the relationship status the child had alluded to.

The rest of the team grinned.

"Even she can see it," murmured Dion amazed. "My little sis is pretty smart."

"Shut up Dion!" snapped Taika red in the face.

Aurai walked over to Wolfenstein, who was still hiding in the corner from her.

"I understand if I am not in your family," he said quietly, not wishing to look at her and possibly frighten her. "I just hope my company does not scare you any longer."

The Siren tugged at his arm sleeve. He turned, looking at her curiously.

She grinned innocently at him. "Great-Grandpa Wolfenstein!"

He stood shocked, then nodded firmly, accepting his mission. "Of course." He was composed even with the cuteness overload, as to be expected from the stoic of the group.

Finally, Aurai turned to the final man in the group, running to him and hugging him firmly. "And lastly, Daddy!"

Suture stood awkwardly with her, looking at her as if she was burning his flesh. He could tell she remembered something from before, as her personality was exactly the same as before the experiments, as well as her favorite habits, but she did not seem to remember him at all. It bothered him extremely, making him wonder several things. Were his experiments so horrific she had pushed it to the furthest corner of her mind, forgetting all about it? He had administered anesthetic, but had it been that traumatizing?

He shoved those questions away for later, offering another fake smile at the girl. "Yes. I am your Daddy."

Aurai nodded. "Yes, and we're all one big family!"

Suture looked up at the Vault Hunters, all of whom smiled at him in turn. This time, he offered a real smile.

"Yes, I guess we are."
