I'm back.

AnshinCrimson: Okay, I get it. I overdid the green. I already said that I was going to change the outfit. Chapter 2 was already written and I am just waiting for a plausible reason to change his outfit. I didn't mean to make his abilities like Zer0's, besides there is a valid reason for his speed and colouring.

Guardian of all that exists: You don't talk much but you say what you think. I can agree with that. I will write a bit more.

Bugger! I think that I'm going to have to move this thing to the M section with some of the language that's gonna end up in here.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Gen and all things to do with him.

Chapter 3: The Scientist

Gaige was staring at the iguana, still not quite believing that it was Salvador. Gen had said something about a Transmogrification Grenade but she'd been too much in shock at the fact that Salvador had lost to pay attention. They'd had to distract Brick with a lie about there being a litter of skag pups nearby to avoid him charging at Gen and attempting to rip him apart. She wasn't sure if they'd done it for Gen's safety or that of Brick.

Her earlier notion of forgetting something had left her and she now simply watched the iguana in front of her. Suddenly, she decided to test if it really was Salvador. She searched through some of Hammerlock's boxes and found a bottle of tequila. She poured it into a nearby dish and placed it next to the lizard. The iguana bolted up and stuck its whole head into the alcohol, drinking at an insane rate. Gaige chuckled, that was definitely Salvador.

She turned as she heard the door opening and saw Gen trotting in with Hammerlock behind him. The green-skinned boy looked annoyed and seemed to be debating with Hammerlock.

"All I'm saying is what the point of putting me in that system is?" He asked irritably, "I mean, you and me both know that the system might not work for me because-"

He stopped when he realized that everyone was staring at him. He quirked an eyebrow, his gaze hard.

"What? Never seen a guy argue before?" He asked, irritated, in an obvious attempt to lead them away from the topic of his argument.

"We have, we're just wondering what you're arguing about." Axton said bluntly.

Gen rubbed his face and said, "Look, how would you like me to probe into your pasts?"

Nobody answered.

"Exactly as I thought. So stop probing into mine."

"Is that a threat?" Axton asked, eyes narrowing.

Gen gave him a hard look.

"It's a suggestion to preserve your health."

The hostile atmosphere in the room only intensified as Commando and Splicer glared at each other, neither willing to back down. The tension broke when Zer0 stepped between them.

"We cannot fight, We should not question his past, Lest he question ours.'" He stated in his trademark monotone. Axton looked away awkwardly before holding out a hand for Gen to shake. Gen regarded him for a moment. He smiled and slowly shook hands with the Commando, a sign that all was forgiven.

Suddenly, Gen snapped his fingers, a look of realization appearing.

"I just realized," he said slowly, "I should probably give your midget friend the antidote for my grenade."

"His name is Salvador." Maya stated calmly, "I'm Maya. The guy with the bird is Mordecai, the big slab of muscle was Brick, the other Siren is Lilith, the other masked guy is Zer0, your rival over there is Axton and the girl with the mechanical arm is Gaige."

Gen nodded and greeted each person but froze when Maya uttered the last name. He chewed on his lip, a look of deep thought crossing his face. Mordecai eventually walked up and waved his hand in front of Gen's face. This action achieved two things:

1. Gen snapped out of his trance.

2. Mordecai nearly lost his hand when Gen swung one of his arm-blades in a knee-jerk reaction.

There was an awkward moment as everybody stared at Gen, who was blinking as if just waking from a dream. He looked around confusedly before shrugging and trotting towards the iguana that had once been Salvador.

Read and Review people. I love getting a bit of feedback on my work. Except if it's flames. Flamers are trolls.

See ya next time,
