Darkness. Absolute darkness. Where the fuck am I? You are seated on the ground looking around frantically, searching the abyss in front of you for anything that could give you an indication of where you are. But alas, you have no success. What is going on? Questions fill your head as you start to panic; the realisation that you have no idea where you are begins to set in.
Okay, okay, calm down __. You're okay, just focus. You take a few deep breaths and steady your breathing. If I have no memory of how I got here, there has to be people around, right?
"Hello?!" You shout into the darkness.
You hear your echo immediately after doing so, followed by complete silence. Hmm. You begin to feel your surroundings with your hands. This is.. Metal? Metal flooring? This is too similar to Heli--
Your thoughts are cut off by the bright lights that are suddenly switched on. You instinctively close your eyes, opening them slowly and blinking a few times to let them adjust to the sudden change. Jesus Christ. Looking around, you realise where you are. ..Jack's office? So I'm on Helios? How did I get here? Even more questions begin to swirl around in your head, this was all too strange. Where you kidnapped? By who? And for what reason?
"What the fu--"
Right before you can finish your sentence, an all too familiar face appears as his chair at his desk spins around to face you. It was him, the one and only Handsome Jack. But how was this possible? You were the one who killed him on Pandora.
"Jack?" You ask, eyebrows raised.
How the fuck is this motherfucker alive. I killed him twice for gods sake. Jack can't be here. You're thoughts jumble as you try to comprehend the situation.
"Haven't forgotten about me yet, pumpkin?" He smirks at you, leaning forward with his elbows resting on his desk. That condescending smirk of his makes you want to kill him a third time.
Before you can reply, he chuckles and begins to stand up, proceeding to walk around to the front of his desk. He is wearing his regular outfit as per usual. He rests his arms onto the desk behind him as he continues to maintain eye contact with you.
"It's good you remember me ___", he smiles insincerely at you as he begins. He reaches up to his face, tracing his fingers along his trademark mask before removing it.
"because I sure do remember you."
You speechlessly stare at his now revealed face, unable to process the situation. Your confused expression suddenly turns sour, how dare he...exist. You went through a lot, two times, to rid Pandora of his tyranny. And why did he have to make an appearance now? Of all times? You were just starting to move on.. Well it is just like him to have impeccable timing.
You open your mouth to talk, but you close it again before opening it once more.
"C"mon cupcake you look like a fucking fish doing that" Jack says with a less serious expression,
"At a loss for words are we? I know you're quiet or whatever but I thought you'd think of something to say by now. Too much eridium if you ask me, you know that stuffs radioactive right?"
"What the fuck?" Is all you can say. There's no way this can actually be Jack, it's just too impossible. More thoughts rush through your head, he looks and acts like Jack, but it can't be him right? You can't believe he is standing a few metres in front of, in fact, you won't believe it.
"How the fuck are you here, Jack?" You ask in a stressed tone, your brows beginning to furrow again.
"Aren't you glad to see me? I thought you'd miss me!", He begins, in an amused tone,
"Don't you want to know how I've been? What I've been up to? I sure want to know what you've been doing--or should I say killing--all this time now since I've been gone."
This isn't fair to you, your friends, or Pandora. You're angry alright, in fact, furious. You stand up, still glaring at him, and quickly walk up the steps to him. You instinctively go to punch him in the face. Prick. But instead of beating the shit out of him, he grabs your fist before it can make contact with his perfect cheekbones.
"Uh uh uh" Jack clicks his tongue and shakes his head in false dissaproval,
"You know, usually when greet people you haven't seen in- what has it been, a year?- you don't greet them with a punch to the face." His fake smile suddenly drops as he tightens his grip on your hand, making you glare at him even more- if that was even possible.
"Do you know what it's like to be dead? Of course you don't," he starts, with poison lacing his harsh words,
"I was a hero! You took everything I had away from me!" His booming voice echoes through his overly sized office as he yells directly into your face.
After composing himself, he continues,
"But since you have taken so much from me, it's only fair if I return the favour right?" His smirk reappearing on his face as he threatens you.
"Revenge is a dish best served cold right?"
"Jack.." You begin, unsure of what to say. He's right, you did take a lot from him. But what else could you do? He was a hero --emphasis on was-- but he transformed into someone different. Someone evil. Someone you couldn't let continue hurting people. Also, you got payed the big cash money from multiple people.
Before you can continue trying to speak, Jack interrupts you.
"You know you're naked right?"
Confusion washes over you once again and you freeze, slowly begining to look down. And yes, to your dismay, your eyes are greeted with your naked body. Your eyes go wide and you begin to panic; you were naked in the presence of the man you thought you killed, twice, on Helios, in space.
Some of the thoughts swirling through your head are "where are my clothes?" and "how did I get here?" All your thoughts are simultaneously conveyed through the horrified scream you let out.
You continue to scream as you suddenly sit up, drenched in sweat, and thankfully, in your own bed. Just a dream.. It was just a dream. You wipe the sweat from your forehead with the back of your hand as your heart rate starts to slow down. After taking a few deep breaths, you stand up from your sweaty bed and look down at it, grimacing. Ew. Now I have to wash these. You decide your bed sheets can wait until later as you head in the direction of your shower, deep in thought.

Thoughts??????? Idk if I should continue this?
