Gravity (Timothy Lawrence x OC)

4: Have you seen the stars?

So I hope mixing the past and present isn't too annoying to read. It's just important to how the past, and I thought having her simply explain it would be dull. 

Above is a hero forge of Lisa that I made (yes I'm obsessed) xD

Everyone else in the workshop left, apart from Timothy and Lisa.

Lisa walked over to Tim, to see how he was doing. He seemed very focused on making sure the service bot was functional, but also less annoying. 
"Everything okay here?" She asked as she stood next to him.
"God you startled me," he cried.

"I think I'm done for today, little guy still needs some new arms but other than that he's as good as new... Well of course, when you finish making his little soul less annoying," Lisa gestured towards the almost fixed service bot on her workbench. 

Timothy sighed, "I still have a lot to do here sadly."
"You could work on it tomorrow? I dunno, take a break?" Lisa offered with a smile. 
"Yeah you're right, I could do with a break," Timothy smiled back.
"Would you like to join me?"

They sat together in Moxxi's bar. Lisa never understood why Moxxi still worked as a bartender even though she owned the entire casino, and was as rich as one could imagine. But Moxxi said she liked the field work, and she would have missed it.

Both wearing their Hyperion hoodies, they sat in a corner. Unlike the night before, this time Timothy's hood was down uncovering his face. Or rather Jack's face. This caused some people to stare at him, but nobody dared say a word, they only whispered around him.

"I think I'm going to need to launch an investigation on this station," Lisa chuckled. 
"Do that many service bots get vandalized?" Timothy chuckled.
"I've been on this station for a month right? And I've fixed about 100 of these fucks already. Please tell me you're close with that new OS, I can't stand those tin cans in my workshop everyday," Lisa complained which made Timothy smile. 
"I'm not even close, I'm going to need more help," he answered.
"And I had you for a superstar... Ah the disappointment," she teased. 

"Hey! That's so uncalled for," Timothy mumbled as he crossed his arms.
"Aww, is Timmy upset?" Lisa persisted, and then giggled.
"You have a nice laugh Lisa... S-sorry maybe I shouldn't have," Timothy avoided her eyes, as he coughed. Lisa's cheek began to turn red as they sat in silence for a moment. 

Moxxi snickered in the distance, as she looked at them.

"Have you seen the stars here?"
"I can't say that I have," Timothy answered softly.
"Do you want to see them?" 
"Sure."

They walked out the bar, and Lisa led them to the roof top. This was Lisa's safe heaven, where she could forget reality and relax. She didn't know why exactly she led Timothy there, but she felt like he needed to see it. Even though it was just a roof, it meant so much more.

On the roof top they were able to see the majority of the station's buildings, with colourful lights scattered everywhere. But also the stars, the roof let them get so close to the ceiling that they could see the space around them. It made Lisa feel so small in such a huge universe. But something about the stars was just so calming.

"It's... Beautiful," Timothy sighed as they laid down on the roof. 
"I guess it's silly but... This makes me feel more at home," Lisa said softly. 
"I can see why."

She stared at him, at his face, the mask. While she read the reports on what happened to Handsome Jack's face, she never saw it. Lisa didn't want to believe Jack scarred every doppelganger, but then again it was something he would do. Timothy's face under the mask was a mystery, one which she wanted to know about.

They watched the stars in a peaceful silence. Occasionally, they made a few jokes about the robot situation, or Hyperion itself. Even though she knew him shortly, she really enjoyed his company. He didn't seem to be the same person when she first met him, then again Lisa knew that he had reason to act the way he did. He seemed more calm on the roof top, as did Lisa. 

"I want to be on a planet one day. Not here... Floating in space," Lisa blurted out.
"If I may... What brought you here? To the Casino?"
"Oh... Well...Moxxi asked for my help... Or rather found any excuse to save me... From myself." Lisa laughed sadly, she looked unhappy, and covered her scar with her hair.
