Somebody I Used to Know

Maya

I just landed in pandora and I suddenly tensed up, I felt like Helios was safer than this place.

How am I afraid of a few psychos but feel safe in the same room as the most dangerous man in the world?

I shake off this feeling and hear I'm getting a call from jack on my echo. "Hey kiddo its jack. Have you made it to pandora yet?" Jack asked

"Yeah I just landed about 15 minutes ago." I replied. "Listen cupcake, so Maya's the closest to you right now. She's on sanctuary so your gonna need to find a way in." Jack explains.

"It's not like I can walk just right in there, they'll have suspicions." I tell him as I hear him laugh.

"Who said anything about you walking in?" Jack asked and I could feel he was smirking at his question.

"Oh this sounds fun" I answer not even meaning to say that out loud. "Head to scooters, I'll tell you the plan there. But I can't be on Helios right now so I'll meet you there." Jack tells me.

- At scooters-

I make it to scooters old place where Ellie was there to great me with an annoying HEYY GIIIIIRL HOW YA BEEN?

I look around and try to find jack but there was no sight of him here. I quickly pull out my echo and try to call him.

I thought he'd be here by now, maybe he's just gonna be a little late.

I had hung up and walked outside of scooters old place for some fresh air. Or some not so fresh air.

Suddenly I felt a pair of hands grab my shoulders and instinctively yelled.

"WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK" I screamed and almost had a heart attack. When I had turned around I saw Jack laughing at me only leaving one of his hands on me.

"Oh my God! You should've seen the look on your face! That was priceless." He said and made me angry.

"Finally, you showed up." I said mad.

"Of course I did baby! How else am I gonna help you kill those vault hunters?" He told me.

Every time he called me baby or cupcake my heart pounded faster, talking to him relieves me from anything I'm thinking about.

Oh softening up to jack now are we Elizabeth?

I think to myself, I shook my head and chuckled. "Well what's your plan for me getting in sanctuary then?" I asked.

He comes closer to me so Ellie or Scooter wouldn't hear. I was leaning on a wall outside of scooters door. Jack placed a hand near my face on the wall so he could face me.

"So I need scooter to make me another holographic suit of someone who actually lived in sanctuary, just like the ones my body doubles wear." Jack explains

Looking into his face so close to mine makes me nervous. He's talking so low and I feel his breath on my neck tickle me.

"That's- actually not a bad idea." I say smirking. He winks at me giving me a grin.

"Of course it isn't babe." Jack says and starts making his way inside to where scooter is.

"Oh heyyyy Jack! Whatcha need this time?" Scooter asks in his usual happy demeanor.

"I need another holo suit, one of my body doubles kinda...lost his." Jack said lying.

"Oh really? That sucks man, so who's this pretty lady?" Scooter asks implying me.

Please don't use my real name, jack don't use my real name.

"This is Elizabeth, one of my new assistants. She's just making sure everything's going smoothly with the suit." Jack said

Oh you gotta be fucking kidding me. His assistant?

"Oh well then, nice to be acquainted with you Elizabeth." Scooter said politely.

A few moments passed before jack spoke up. "Well Scooter can you work on what I asked for and stop staring at Elizabeth's chest? Yeah thanks" jack said clearly annoyed.

I hadn't even noticed Scooter was staring at me when jack had said this so when I heard this I squinted at Scooter and gave him a 'I'm gonna kill you' look.

"Oh u-uuh... Sorry bout that." Scooter said and rushed to work. I look up to Jack and he gives me a smug look.

My face goes red but I laugh a bit to shake what just happened out of my head.
