The Siren Boy A Borderlands Story

Chapter 9: A Father Son Day

Handsome Jack's Pov

Every day I would wake up, do some paper work, then visit Odin in secret. With the help of my assistant Meg of course. Odin and I planed on having one of those father son days. Just me and him. I activate my cloaking system to sneak into Sanctuary. I go to Odin's house and wait. He comes downstairs. He had new clothing. It looked like mine, but black and one arm is revealed. It suited him quite well. I reveal myself to him. "Hey dad!" He greets me. "Hey son, ready for a day with your old man?" I ask him. We laugh and I sneak out of Sanctuary. I head to an abandoned camp. I see Odin wave at me and I tell him to sit by me. He smiles and we begin to chat. "So, where were you if you didn't live in this universe?" I ask. He looks down. "I came from a universe that has a planet called Earth. I had another family. Me, my dad, mother, and a little sister. I guess I am home theoretically. I just wish there is a way to show them I'm alive and well." He says. I try to think how Steele sent him to that universe. "Maybe if you master your siren abilities, you could try to teleport through universes." I suggest. Odin's eyes light up. "Maybe you're right!" He exclaims. We travel around Three Horns, I show him how to shoot with more guns than just pistols, and eventually we go to an area to watch the Rakks. We ended up telling stories. There was one story I wanted to tell him so I started to. "You see this is what I don't get about those bad guys. They know the hero's gonna win but they just don't die quickly. Man uh... Example: This one guy in New Haven right? City's burning, people are dying left and right, yadda yadda yadda. This jackhole rushed me with a spoon. A fricking spoon! And I'm dying laughing right?! So I scoop out his stupid little eye balls and his kids are all WAAAHH! And I, I can't even. Oohh yes! He can't see where he's going, he's bumping into stuff and I, anyway I dunno. Maybe you had to be there. The moral of the story is they're a total b**ch." We laugh really hard. Man that was a good story. I gotten to know Odin quite well today. He's the son a father can be proud of. We hear something behind us. We look behind us and they were two bandits. They didn't notice us yet. "First kills with your dad?" I ask. He smiles and we draw our guns. They notice us as we got closer. They draw their guns and we shoot. They were killed in an instant. We high five. "I have to get back to Sanctuary. I love you dad." He says. That was the first time he ever said those three words to me. "I love you too, son." I reply. We go our separate ways. I go back to HQ and Meg stands by my desk. "Sir, how was your day with Odin?" She asks. I smile at her. "Amazing. Who knew having a child could bring warmth to my ever cold heart." I reply. I sit at my desk. "This kid is going to be big Meg. I can tell.". I look out my window. If only Angel was alive to see him.

Odin's Pov

I had an amazing day with my dad. I kind of knew I was adopted by my parents back on Earth. I overheard them saying something about my mother once. Who knew she was a siren. I have much to learn. If my mother sent me to Earth, then, like dad said, I could probably travel back and send them a message. I'm probably getting way ahead of myself. However I did somehow gain Maya's and Lilith's abilities. Who knows what other abilities I can obtain. I sit at my desk to think. If my memory serves me correct, I might have the ability to summon wings of some sort. I decide to think about that later. I go to bed. I wander what will come tomorrow. I'm in total darkness. A white glow appears in front of me. "A boy?" It says confused. It had white wings. It was a girl. Black hair, half shaved, and white marks on her left arm. Almost like mine, but white. "Are you a siren?" I ask. She looks shocked. "Who are you?" She asks. I walk closer trying to not alarm her. She sees my marks. "You're a siren? But you are a boy." She says. "I know, it's weird. I want to know how I ended up here." I say. She continuously looks at me and back at my marks. "I am Angel. I used to be a siren, but I was killed." she says in a soft tone. That name seems familiar. Angel... Angel... Angel... Jack's dead daughter. My dead half sister right in front of me. I look at her. "Why am I here?" I ask her. She said she didn't know. I remember what I did to the other two sirens. I wanted to try something. "Give me your hand." I awkwardly said. She was hesitant. "Trust me." Is all I said. She gives me her hand and I focus my energy. I could feel energy transfer to me. I let go and I step back. Angel looks at me. A computer appears in front of me out of nowhere. I raise my hand to it. I close my eyes. It felt natural as I did to say a phrase that ended up being my new ability. As I raised my hand I said "Executing phaseshift.". I hacked into the computer. Angel looks at me with her eyes widened. "You can gain a siren's ability?" She asks. I explain to her how I got my siren powers and how I discovered what I could do. She asks me what my ability was called. "I never thought it has a name. Maybe you can think of one?" I ask. She gave me a smile. "Phasegelid." She says in excitement. I thank her. "Yeah, that sounds cool." I complimented. "Looks like you have to go." She says pointing to my body. I was fading. I say goodbye and I wake up. My body was cold and covered with sweat. Was that a dream? I look outside. I try to find anything to see if I could do what I thought. I fast travel to some location. It was labeled "Claptraps Hideout.". I look around to see a computer locked door. I raise my hand. "Executing phaseshift." I said. The computer was hacked and the door opened. That wasn't a dream... then what was that?
