Somebody I Used to Know

Moxxi

"So who am I gonna look like that lives in sanctuary? I can't be any normal civilian because they'll think I'm trying too hard to blend in, but I also can't be anyone too recognizable Yknow?" I ask as jack as he's on the computer programming the suits hologram.

"Honestly kiddo this ones on you. I have no idea who lives in sanctuary that you can disguise yourself as." Jack admits as I sit on his desk next to the computer he's using.

A few moments pass before I break the silence and ask him.

"What about moxxi? She's out of sanctuary doing some business elsewhere and it would be a perfect opportunity to be her." I proposed.

Jack looked at me and thought about it.
"That's actually a good idea, Scooter! Are you anywhere near done with the the suit?" Jack yells

"Yep, I just need to install your image into the suit and-" Scooter says but I cut him off.

"No! I m-mean I can handle that Scooter!" I yell at him.

Greeeat! Now he probably thinks im up to something! Geez

"Um- why'd you wanna do that? It will only take me a few minutes to install it." Scooter says confused. In the corner of my eyes I see jack looking at me intensely.

How am I supposed to make him give me the suit that he hasn't even finished yet? Oh no... oh fuck.

An idea came to mind and I slowly walked towards Scooter a bit seductively.

"No no no, I can't have you do such a thing. You've already done so much for me already. Plus I can buy us some time, so maybe later we could go get a drink?" I say as flirtatiously as I can. Scooter looks at me wide eyed and is speechless.

"Y-Yeah sure thing, I c-can totally do that. H-here's the suit and feel free to make any modifications to it Yknow?" Scooter says nervously his face extremely red.

Jack looks at me stunned and a bit mad. I looked at him for a few seconds and grin winking at him tossing him the hard drive for the suit.

I felt jack staring at me as I whispered something in scooters ear and passed him a slip of paper with someone's number on it.

"Seeya guys! Don't f-forget to catch a ride if Yknow what I mean!" Scooter yells as jack sloppily waves bye.

As soon as we make it out of there jack smiles at me, like I've pulled a joke on him or something.

"That was really good back there." jack said.

"I know. They don't call me the best for nothing." I reply smugly. He stares at me intensely like he's trying to read me.

"How did such a pretty girl like you get into being a killer?" Jack asked curious. I sighed and looked away from him while still walking with him.

"Training. Lots of it. Not just about killing people but about keeping a straight face, blending in or standing out. Whichever is best for the job." I replied simply.

Jack looked confused and I stopped walking and made him face me.

"On Pandora you can't have a normal childhood, anything but my early life was normal for a kid. So it made sense that I'd become what I am right now." I shot at him getting a bit annoyed at his question.

No ones ever asked me why I do this or who I wanted to be. Jack asking me made me angry, the past was stupid for me.

Who needs a past anyway.

"By the way whose number did you give to Scooter?" Jack asks me.

"Oh Yknow, just yours."
