A Handsome Tale (Handsome Jack X OC)

Touch

As we all gather onto the spaceship, and we take off, the sensation was unexplainable.

I was scared, I looked around me and saw my friends who were also scared and honestly, this would be against everything Jack ever wanted of me. To infiltrate Hyperion.

Suddenly, the ship begins shaking tremendously. I feel myself coming loose from my seat belt.

"Hey! Uh! Yeah! What the hell is happening?!" I scream.

"Henderson! He's lodged in the... The thing!" Rhys screams, clenching tightly to his belt.

I rest my head back and close my eyes tightly. The shaking got stronger and for once, I saw Vallorys men look scared.

"We need to get those darn rockets off!" Scooter shouts to Fiona.

"I need you to help me." He says to her and she nods in agreement.

They both walk over to a case in the caravan, pulling out a couple of Oz Kits. Convenient.

We all wait patiently, Sasha taking control of the steering.

Out of no where I feel a grip tightly on my hand, pulling it down. I look beside me and see Rhys's fleshed hand gripping mine, his eyes still closed.

I'll admit, it gave me butterflies, but at the same time I felt guilty. If my assumptions are true, my fiancé could see this. All of it.

I let go quickly and smile at him.

"We'll be okay, Rhys. I won't let any of my friends get hurt." I chuckle.

"Just friends?" Rhys asks, shaking his head.

"Never mind." He whispers.

I blush profusely, did he just object the 'friends' comment?

Fiona comes back in and she looks like she's going to cry, but, the ship was stable.

"What happened out there?" Sasha asks, whipping around.

"He.. Didn't make it. He saved us. He's a true hero." I watch Fiona say quietly, a tear rolling down her cheek.

We all sit in silence for a minute before I unbuckle my seat belt and go to grab some satellite Scooter was trying to shoot off into space. As an ad for his business.

I walk it over to Fiona and smile, shrugging before handing it to her.

"To honor Scooter." I reply to her quizzical look.

"Right. Yeah." She takes the satellite and looks at everyone else for approval, and even Val's goons accept.

"Catch a ride." Fiona giggles before launching the ad.

"It looks beautiful." I whisper.

"Hey! Who the... Stop. You're not allowed on base. Who are you?" The transmission came from Hyperion guards and as soon as it happened, Rhys formed back into... Rhysquez.

"It's me, shitiots, now if you'd let me land, I've got some important business to take care of. Cause I'm the boss. And boss things must be done." He started out so good, then sucked so bad.

I face palmed and wrote down exactly what he should say, handing him note cards. This was embarrassing.

"Just let me up, I've got Rhys in tiny little pieces and those corporate junkies want every bit of him." Rhys says, smiling big and giving me a thumbs up.
