Chapter 2: Sister Vladof

Nickoli was in complete shock that this woman he just met was telling him that she was his sister. As far as he knew, he only had his older brother Zakhar as family. Nickoli stumbled back until he planted his rear against the console behind him, doing his best to try and put everything together. Lydia looked down at her feet while everyone else was kinda slack jawed at the news. First Angel found out about her cloned father/ brother, Zach, and now Nickoli had a sibling?

"I'm sorry to have dropped this on you so suddenly." Lydia apologized. She didn't mean to cause her brother any distress with the news, just to let him know that he wasn't alone.

"How… how are you my sister?" Nickoli questioned, trying to figure it out how exactly he had a sister.

"Well, it's a long story." Lydia sighed, preparing herself for her story. "It was about a year after you were born when our father had an affair with one of the scientists he worked with, my mother. Shortly after you left, my mother died under "mysterious circumstances". After that, my only real option for life was to join the Vladof Army, they took me in when no one else would. Once I rose up the ranks, I was given a mission; to find the wanted criminal, Nickoli Vladof. I wasn't sure about all of the information given to me, it didn't add up.

"So, I did some digging and found a family photo… and I learned that we were kin. I also found the experiment notes and what they did to you… and that they were going to do the same to me. After that, I ran… I ran to find my brother." Lydia finished, looking to Nickoli for a response. He took a deep breath and sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair, trying to wrap his mind around the entire story.

"Am I really a wanted criminal? A fugitive?" Nickoli questioned.

"Yes, and I was going to be next." Lydia answered, a tear developing in her eye. Nickoli walked over to Lydia and put a hand on her shoulder, in an attempt to console his new half-sister. Lydia took a deep breath and sighed with a smile on her face, happy that Nickoli was doing his best.

"Hey, don't worry. You're safe with us… Sis." Nickoli assured, putting a smile on Lydia's face. She couldn't help herself, so she threw her arms around her half-brother and hugged him. Nickoli was a little surprised that Lydia embraced him so quickly, but he was happy to have a sibling that was a little closer to his age, so he hugged her back.

"Thank you, Nickoli. I'll do my best to contribute to the team." Lydia thanked as she wiped her eyes off.

"Anything for family. Now we just need to find you a place to stay." Nickoli replied. Lynn walked over to the new siblings with an answer to that.

"She can stay with me. I've got plenty of room in my spot." Lydia replied, happy to help out Nick's new sister.

"Well, that settles that. Now, it's getting pretty late. I suggest all of us call it a night." Nickoli suggested, Justin and Patrick groaning like the kids they were. Everyone cleaned up their mess and started heading to their rooms. Zach stopped Angel, putting his hand on her shoulder as everyone left.

"Angel, I'm going to do you a favor… I'm going to look the other way tonight. Have fun with Nickoli." Zach sighed. He knew he was supposed to be keeping an eye on the two of them as per his parents.

"Thanks Bro, not that I need your approval to do anything with my own boyfriend, but thanks." Angel replied as she rolled her eyes.

"Just… don't make me regret doing this."

"You won't, I promise."

*WARNING: The following section contains Nickoli and Angel getting frisky*

Angel patted her brother's arm before she headed to her room with Nickoli, a sly smile on her face. She headed to the small building and opened the door, seeing hers and Nickoli's room for the first time. It wasn't the largest of nicest place, But Nickoli had done some cleaning while she was out in Concordia. It was about 20ft by 20ft with a large bed at the center of the back wall. On the left wall was a work bench with a tool wall, Angel unsure of if it was the same one Nickoli had in his original home in the Fridge.

On the right wall was a large dresser and book shelf. There was a door in the right corner that Angel could only assume led to a bathroom. Nickoli was sitting at his work bench, working on something on his arm. Angel smiled as she snuck up behind him, sliding her arms over his shoulders, putting the back of his head in the center of his chest. Angel looked down and saw Nickoli's deep red face as he quickly finished what he was working on.

He closed his arm and spun around, taking Angel up into his arms and moving her towards the bed, slamming their lips together. The two fell to the bed, Nickoli catching himself before slamming on top of Angel, neither of them breaking contact. The two shifted until they were centered on the bed, Nickoli lying on top of Angel and embracing her as much as he could. He was the first to break contact, attempting to kiss her neck, But Angel's assassin suit kept him from getting to it. Angel let Nickoli go, holding her arms by her head, trying to signal to Nickoli to remove her suit.

"Nickoli, take it off." Angel whispered to him before he started kissing her again. Nickoli moved to her ear and whispered into it. Nickoli lifted himself off, a little wide eyed at Angel's request.

"A-are you sure? I mean… how far… can I take it off?" Nickoli questioned, unsure of how far Angel wanted him to go.

"Completely. You've seen me in my underwear before, it's just a little bit… more."

"Okay, if you're sure."

Nickoli brought up a shaky hand and grabbed the zipper of Angel's suit, then slowly started to pull it down, revealing a sliver of her pale skin. Angel brought her hands down and started to pull her suit off, Nickoli feeling his mouth starting to go slack jawed. She sat up, leaving the back of her suit against the bed while she pulled her arms from the sleeves, revealing the black bra she was wearing as well as the rest of her tattoos. Nickoli leaned forward and started to kiss Angel once more, his hands naturally finding her hips and started to pull the rest of her suit off. He got her suit completely off and tossed it aside, giving Nickoli a close up few of Angel in her underwear.

He could see that her tattoos seemed to originate from the center of her chest, then spread to her left arm and down the left side of her body down to the center of her thigh. She wore a pair of black panties, matching her bra since she had a feeling that her and Nickoli would be getting a tad intimate tonight. Nickoli couldn't help but stare at her until she sat up, grabbing the bottom of his shirt and pulling up. Nickoli raised his arms and allowed Angel to fully remove his shirt, tossing it onto her suit. She lightly touched Nickoli's chest, which was broad and shaved, which only made Angel want him more.

She slowly pushed him until he was on his back, Angel pressing her lips to the center of his chest and working her way down. She made it to his pants and started undoing his belt, pulling it out and dropping it with a thud. Angel nervously brushed some of her hair behind her head, slowly undoing the button on his jeans. She had never been with a man before, at least not like this. She had dated on other guy before, but they never made it past first base.

She knew that Nickoli was the one, so she wanted to be as close to him as she possibly could. She unzipped his pants and slowly started to pull them down, revealing the red and white striped boxers he was wearing. She tossed them aside and slowly crawled up Nickoli's body, positioning herself over her before lying down on top of him. Nickoli brought his arms around her, one arm wrapping around her waist and the other making it to the back of her head. The two began another deep, passionate kiss, the two of them intertwining their tongues and giving each other their taste.

"I love you so much Angel." Nickoli panted, out of breath as he broke contact with Angel.

"I love you too Nickoli." Angel responded, catching her own breath from the kiss. The two of them were both nervous and excited to advance their relationship. Angel decided to advance herself a little bit, sitting up and reaching behind her back, undoing her bra with ease. She slid her bra off and dropped it in the increasing pile of clothing, Nickoli doing his best not to just stare at her chest. Angel was always self-conscious about her chest considering she was nearly flat, just barely filling out a low A-cup.

Her mother was a little more blessed than she was, but she ended up more like her father. She felt her face turn pink as she brushed some more of her hair behind her ear, feeling Nickoli's eyes on her. Nickoli couldn't help himself but stare at Angel's chest, his hands sliding up instinctively to her breasts. He didn't care about the size of Angel's chest, he loved her for her personality… also that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Angel gasped as Nickoli took her into his hands, Nickoli being as gentle as he could with her.

He gently squeezed her, massaging her sensitive flesh with his metal hands, Nickoli feeling the soft skin on his sensors. Nickoli took several deep breaths as he pushed up on them, Angel leaning her head back and letting out a moan. She put her hands on Nickoli's forearms, wanting to feel her skin on his. Nickoli started to move his thumbs back and forth, pushing her erect nipples side to side. Angel started breathing heavy as Nickoli toyed with her, her body starting to warm up against her natural Siren chill.

"Wow Angel, they're so nice." Nickoli complimented as he squeezed a little more, Angel taking a deep breath.

"Are you sure? They're… so small." Angel questioned.

"I don't care if they're small. I care about you."

Nickoli sat up, pressing his lips to the start of her tattoos, sending a deep tingling feeling through her tattoos. Angel wrapped her arms around Nickoli, one arm going down his back while the other made it to the back of his head. She felt his lips leave kiss after kiss on her tattoo, making it start to emit a light glow from her peaked emotions. Nickoli took it up a little bit more, placing his lips against her left nipple, squeezing her breast as he did it.

"Oh Nickoli! That feels… amazing!" Angel moaned, trying to pull Nickoli closer. Her kissed her nipples, switching between the two over and over again, Angel moaning as he did. Nickoli leaned forward, putting Angel on her back. He stopped with her chest and slowly started to kiss her body, making his way lower. He made it to the waistband of her panties when she stopped him.

"Wait… I'm… not ready to go there." Angel exclaimed, running her fingers through Nickoli's hair. Nickoli raised his head, an understanding smile on his face as he slowly slid back up to her.

"Okay Angel. I'll go however far you're comfortable with." Nickoli whispered to her, cupping her cheek with Angel pulling into it. He pulled Angel into a deep kiss, Angel wrapping her arms around his neck. He slid on top of her, feeling her breasts push against his chest.

"I love you Nickoli." Angel exclaimed as she broke the kiss for a moment.

"I love you too Angel. I'd do anything for you." Nickoli responded.

The two started to kiss again, the two remaining in this position for a while before finally separating. The two panted, completely out of break from their contact, Angel placing her hand on his bare chest, feeling his rapid heartbeat. She reached up with her free hand, messing with Nickoli's dark hair as she stared into his eyes. She started to yawn, Nickoli chuckling before commenting.

"Getting tired?" He questioned, lying on his side.

"Just a bit. How about you?" Angel questioned, rolling to face him.

"A little. It's been an eventful day."

"It really has. Well, goodnight Nickoli."

"Goodnight Angel."

Angel rolled so her back was to Nickoli, her cyborg boyfriend pulling the sheet over the both of them. He wrapped an arm around her, almost instinctively gripping one of her breasts as he pressed his chest to her back. Nickoli kissed the back of her head before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.

O00000O00000O

Zach was the first to wake up, the assassin sitting up in his bed with a groan, scratching his unkempt hair. He threw on a black shirt that went with his black pajama pants, mostly the same color he wore with just about every article of clothing he wore. Luckily, the Claptraps were able to convert the center building into a kitchen, one that hopefully that wouldn't kill the person who used it first. He walked in, seeing that they also made a dining room to go along with it. Almost all of the kitchen appliances were stacked against the left wall, starting from fridge, counter with toaster, blender and toaster oven, then sink, then dishwasher and finally oven.

The table on the right was long, able to sit ten people with a white tile floor. Zach scratched the back of his head, wondering if making breakfast was worth dying over, but he made his decision and went to the fridge. Luckily, the fridge was filled so he pulled out the stuff he needed to make everything breakfast. He started cooking when Lynn dragged herself in wearing an extra-large green shirt with (hopefully) shorts underneath. She saw that he was cooking breakfast and decided to help, grabbing a few eggs from the carton and started scrambling them.

"How did you sleep?" Zack questioned, grabbing a pan and cooking some ham steaks.

"Alright. Lydia snores like a chainsaw." Lynn responded, pouring the scrambled eggs into a pan.

"You gave the offer."

"I know. So I heard you let Angel room with Nickoli. They're probably banging right now."

"Did you really have to bring it up?"

"Yeah."

Zach flipped the steaks when a thought crossed into his mind. He was a clone of Zer0, and yet he had found Maya, his soulmate, the woman who gave him a daughter and agreed to shelter him. Was there someone out there for him? Or was he going to be alone.

"Hey Lynn, do you think a clone like me could find anyone? You know, that special someone." Zach questioned as he pulled the steaks from the pan.

"I think everyone deserves that special someone, even a clone like you." Lynn responded as she started to flip the eggs, making sure they wouldn't burn. Zach couldn't help but smile, hoping that what she said was true.

"Thanks Lynn, I'd hug you, but-"

Lynn moved the pan and wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his shoulder with a smile.

"Just because I'm gay doesn't mean I can't hug men."

Zach moved his pan and wrapped his arms around her, enjoying their little moment. The two separated and finished cooking breakfast as Justin, wearing a grey shirt with black pajama pants, Patrick, wearing just grey sweatpants, and Lydia, wearing a black shirt and black basketball shorts, her dark brown hair sticking up in every direction. Zach smirked as he leaned towards Lynn to let her in on something.

"Psst, Lynn. A little hint about our new friend. Lydia is single, and is just your type." Zach whispered, making Lynn glance at Lydia, who was resting her head on her hand. He could see an interested smile slide across her face while she eyed Lydia with a new curiosity.

"Is she now? Thanks Zach." Lynn replied, grabbing her breakfast. The other did as Nickoli and Angel walked in, Angel wearing Nickoli's shirt from yesterday while he just wore his green pajama pants. The two were practically wrapped around each other, Angel pressing herself against Nickoli while he had his arm draped around her. Just about everyone rolled their eyes as the two grabbed their breakfast, Nickoli giving Angel a quick pat on the rear as she bent a bit, his Siren girlfriend giving him a small, playful angry smile at him as he innocently grabbed his breakfast. The two stayed close as everyone gave their opinions.

"Would you two take that outside? I'm trying to eat." Justin grumbled as he poked at his eggs.

"Seriously." Patrick groaned before taking a bite of his steak. Angel stuck out her tongue at the two while Lydia gave the couple a strange look.

"So, the two of you are together?" Lydia questioned as Lynn put a cup of coffee in front of her. Angel cuddled up to Nickoli, who wrapped his arm back around her.

"Yep, we have been for a while." Angel admitted proudly. Zach took his seat at the table next to Angel, clearing his throat so Nickoli knew it was time to keep his hands to himself.

"So Lydia, you know some of the workings around here, correct?" Zach questioned as he took a sip of his own coffee.

"I do. I've been keeping track of movement in hopes of finding Nickoli's trail." Lydia answered.

"Anything from Maliwan?"

"Yes, and why do you want to know?"

"Because I'm a clone of the assassin, Zer0, Angel's father. The remaining clones are in the hands of Maliwan, and we're aiming to get them back."

"Well, there is a train that's going off world tonight. There is a Maliwan container in the OZ section of the train, perhaps that is what you're looking for."

Everyone finished their breakfast, Nickoli stood up, as if to make a group announcement.

"Well everyone, looks like it's time for a train robbery!" Nickoli announced with his hands on his hips, Angel staring at him with loving eyes.
