Hello to the peoples of .

My muse is already wandering off. Damn it! Why is this so hard?!

Forget about my earlier comment about moving this thing. I don't think I'll swear here too much. (Might have to move it for possible violence, though.)

I'm going to have to change my update schedule to random because I just got into big trouble for spending too much time writing and reading FanFiction (among other things that require a computer.) So my updates will be sporadic at best and completely and mind-bogglingly random at worst from now on. On the plus side (for me anyway) that means that if people want to catch new chapters as they come they can't rely on regular updates and must instead rely on Following the story. (Then again they could just do what I did when I didn't have an account and check on the story every now and again.)

Where are those bloody reviews people?! I'm starting to think you're not enjoying the story! I won't post the next chapter until I get at least 10 reviews after this is posted!

Disclaimer: I'm already getting tired of typing this bloody thing.

Chapter 4: The Wanted Man

Gen shook his head slightly as the Fast Travel Station rematerialized them in Sanctuary. Maya gave him a questioning look.

He gave her a sheepish smile and said, "I'll never get used to that feeling."

"What feeling?"

"The feeling of being disassembled atom by atom and reassembled somewhere else."

"Hey, niño. Guess what you now have." Salvador called, grinning as he walked up to the pair. The midget seemed to have gained a measure of respect for the green-skinned Splicer after their duel.

"What?" Gen asked, his voice a mixture of curiosity and amusement.

Salvador opened a wanted poster in front of his face and said, "Your very own wanted poster!"

"A wanted poster! Awesome! How much am I worth and what am I charged with?" He asked snatching the poster from Salvador as Mordecai and Zer0 wandered over and Gaige and Lilith appeared at the Fast Travel station. Axton was nowhere to be seen.

Gen read aloud, "Wanted. Gen the Splicer for: Illegal experimentation with hazardous genetic substances, theft of hazardous genetic substances and being overly green."

He stared in confusion at the last charge and had to re-read it a few times to make sure he had actually seen it.

"Seriously? Overly green?" He asked, deadpan, before yelling, "What kind of charge is that?!"

"You gotta admit, they might have a point." Axton said, smirking, as he wandered over from wherever he'd been. Judging by the bottle in his hand, it was probably Moxxi's.

"Don't worry about it," Gaige said cheerfully, "I mean my charges are for the creation of unauthorized technology and excessive adorability."

Gen stared at her.

"Seriously?"

"Yep."

"Do these people have nothing better to do than make up random charges?" he muttered incredulously. He suddenly brightened.

"Hang on. How much is my bounty?"

He read the amount, re-read it and re-read it again before looking up and asking slowly, "Who has the highest bounty here?"

Gaige raised her hand.

"And that bounty would be?"

"$820,000,000,000"

He nodded.

"Not bad, not bad. But not as good as $820,000,000,001!" He exclaimed with a huge smile.

"What?! No way! Let me see that!" Gaige yelled, snatching for the poster. Gen had other ideas though and hopped out the way, waving the now rolled up poster in triumph.

"I have the highest bounty out of all the Vault Hunters!" He yelled ecstatically, still dodging Gaige's attempts to steal the poster. Gaige suddenly ceased her attempts to grab the poster and a disturbing smile graced her features.

"Gen," she called, her voice sickly sweet, "Have you, by any chance, met Deathtrap?"

Gen frowned, noticing the slightly scared and incredulous looks on the faces of the other Vault Hunters (except for Zer0, who had an exclamation), and slowly replied, "No, and I'm not sure I want to."

"Well I think that you should give me the poster unless you really decide that you do."

Gen scowled but relented.

"Fine, fine. Take the poster." He muttered.

Gaige stepped forward and plucked the poster from Gen's grasp.

"I thought you'd see things my way." She said calmly. She unrolled it as Gen turned and began to walk away. She frowned as she read what was written there before she scowled.

"You are such a chump." She read aloud.

"GEN!" she yelled and turned.

The Splicer was halfway down the street and accelerating with every step.

Yeah, I think this chapter was more filler than anything else. Oh well.

Read and Review but, as before, flames are for trolls.

Thanks to all the people who actually take the time to leave a review. For pity's sake, over 700 views and only 4 reviews! Come on people!

See ya,
