WILHELM POV (A/N ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

I fired off a couple shots from a Tourge assult rifle. I managed to kill the Scav wielding a rifle.

Athena was barely holding on next to me. She'd summoned Aspis and she was blocking Deadlift's contraption. I see her shield is nearly half charged just from it's electricity.

I'm firing into Deadlift and he's taking a lot of hits and looks like he's about to flee when he starts shouting at us...or the empty air.

"YOU CANT KILL MEEEEE FOOOOOOOOOLS" He's screaming into the atmosphere.

"I think I can..." A voice said from above in a thick Elpis accent.

THIRD PERSON POV

Athena and Wilhelm looked up and saw a tall blonde woman holding a heavy lazer gun, with a sling around her neck to help holding the massive beam weapon.

"Janey, my love!" Deadlift called out. "You do care afterall!"

"For the last fucking time." Janey called out, tightening her grip on the trigger.

"I'm a fucking LESBIAN" She shouted and sent a flow of icy frost from the lazer.

The lazer collided with Deadlift and he let out a shout of pain as he froze into ice.

Wilhelm spun and fired off with his drones and gun, and Athena threw her shield, into the contraption.

The combined firepower exploded the contraption.

And the battlefield fell still.

In the silence. As the adrenalin stilled and the sounds of gunfire stopped.

Athena clutched her stomach...and collapsed.

JANEY POV

I leapt down from my elevated hidey hole.

I was going to grab Athena's sword from Deadlift's back and present it to her, but I changed course when I saw her collapse.

I hit the ground and ran over to scoop up her body. Wilhelm was picking up Nisha and Claptrap. He turned and saw me cradling Athena in my arms.

"What happened to her?!?!?" I yelled at Wilhelm.

"She endured a lot of attacks, it's a miracle she stayed concious this long." Wilhelm was carrying Claptrap and Nisha's bodies. They were alive but injured until they passed out. "We need to go, I'll come back to scavenge the loot after we've got this lot back to your house."

THIRD PERSON POV

Janey shakenly lifted Athena into her arms, looping one hand under her legs and the other across her back.

"Don't worry" Wilhelm said, his back to Janey, as they were walking back across Serenity's Waste. "Athena is a tough warrior, she'll be fine."

"I know, but I saw some of what happened. That was more than I've seen anyone go through in this wasteland." Janey explained.

"Alright that's enough gossip about your crush on Athena. We will now walk for the next few minutes in silence." Wilhelm announced, walking faster, and leaving Janey blushing furiously behind him.

Luckily they evaded any Kraggons on the way back. Wilhelm sat Nisha and Claptrap in a corner and back out to scavenge the loot from the fight.

On Wilhelm's instruction, Janey placed Athena's body on the table.

She took a chair from a storage container and sat on it next to Athena's body. She placed Xiphos next to Athena.

(A/N WILHELM KNOWS ALL)

Athena's armour was scarred, burned and her Jakobs pistol was beyond repair. However she noticed that Aspis had some room for improvement. It was expertly made, but Janey reckoned that she could re-wire it to work more efficiently.
