What now? (A Jak and Daxter fanfiction)

Chapter 16.

Here I am back with another chap chap :) There's a new OC in town now.
I hope you like this chapter and I'll try to write more in the future :)
I do not own Jak and Daxter

(Ellie POV)

Stumbling through the gate, I hear Jak's comm go off. Looking over I hear disappointing news.

"It's from Krew. Something about racing." I sighed. I didn't really want to be at the garage where Jak makes that weird face at Keira's silhouette. Maybe I'll stay with Tess.

"You gonna come Ellie? It'll be fun. It's racing after all." Jak finished with a grin. "I'll come with you to the Hip Hog if that's what you mean." But no further than that. "Cool, then let's head out." Jak grabbed my hand and we headed out of the power station.

We took the closest zoomer and drove in the direction of the Hip Hog, thankfully Jak didn't drive like a maniac.

As we arrived at the bar, I saw Tess talking to another girl. "Yo Tess, what's up?" I said, walking up to them. "Hey Ellie, this is Chloe. She's new to Haven, straight outta Kras." I raised my eyebrows at 'Kras'. "Oh yeah, Kras city is the capital of racing and not to far from here."

I sat on a stool now officially curious. "Sounds like a place Jak would like." I said with a laugh. "Yeah it's pretty much race, race, race over there. It can get pretty boring if you don't enjoy racing very much." Chloe finished with a smile.

Looking over at Jak and Daxter, I hear Daxter read out the contract. How he does that in one breath, I'll never know.

Listening to Tess and Chloe's conversation when I hear Jak say my name. "Hey Ellie, you gonna come with us?" Even though I knew my answer, I tried to look like I was thinking. "You have three minutes right?" Jak nodded. "I think I'll stay here. A third person would just slow you down. Sorry, maybe next time." I finished with an apologetic smile.

"K, we'll be back soon."

"Yeah. Don't miss us to much." Daxter said as they left the building.

When the two had gone, Tess and Chloe were looking at me, possibly for answers. "What?" I knew what that look was. "He likes you." They said at the same time. I face palmed. Not this again.

"The question is, do you like him?" Tess said. I sighed. "Maybe a little." I said giving up. There was no holding it in around these two.

Both of them just started talking about my love life, etc etc. "Guys, I'm right here." They looked at me, grinning from ear to ear. "Anyway, he told me about his childhood crush that came with him to Haven when we were talking the other night."

I could see that they weren't convinced.

"Can I have one of your strongest drinks?" I said, desperately trying to change the conversation.

"I know what you're trying to do but sure. Anything specific?" "Just your strongest Tess." I never liked drinking but right now I really needed one. I was amazed that the drink question did the trick.

Once again they started talking about my relationship problems, keeping me out of it thankfully, and even though it sounded cheesy, I just waited for Jak to return.

As I was finishing my third drink (hey, don't judge) I heard doors open and Daxter's mouth running wild. "How'd the racing stuff go?" Jak just shrugged. "First Krew said she needed racers and then she said that she doesn't. I'm a little confused."

I heard Daxter hop onto the bench. "Hi, sugarplum. You new here? Whatcha got that's hot and - wait, I've seen you before. You're with the Underground!" Bloody hell Dax she's been here the whole time.

"Shhh. I'm Tess. Torn sent me to spy on Krew. Play along, and I may be able to get my hands on a few of Krew's secret's."

I saw Daxter shift his eyes from her face to her chest and then back up. Pervert. Looking at Jak, he had the same expression as me.

"Oh, I love undercover work baby! But uh two can work better than one. Let me help you out." Tess just giggles.

And she teases me on my relationship!

"Wow! There sure are a lot of bottles back here."

"Try the purple one Dax. It's by far the best. Not to mention the strongest." Jak looked at me like I was an alcoholic. I just shrugged.

"Whew! Ooh that's oh that, that goes down. Oh boy you spose that's real gold floating in there? How 'bout this purple stuff? Whew! That's the stuff. Finally!"

Looks like he's taken my advice, but now... wow.

Krew's floating chair thingy was heard coming towards us. "Jak, I need you and the talking rat to go make a few collections for me." Daxter's drunk ass somehow makes it onto the counter.

"Hey there, five chins. How's crimes?"

"What's his problem eh?" At this time, I honestly can't tell what type of drunk Daxter is.

"Nothin. I'm just fine. Mind your own business." He says, slurring his words.

All of a sudden, I get a message from Torn. 'Come back to the hideout. There's people that need healing. Torn.' I sighed and turned to Jak. I gotta go. Torn needs me apparently." Jak nods. "I'll come back to the hideout after this anyway."

I smile and wave as I headed towards the door. (Smile and wave boys. Lol Madagascar XD) I jumped on a nearby zoomer and headed towards HQ at a reasonable speed.

When I arrived, I found quite a few injured people out back in the infermary. "What the hell happened Torn!" I said, my voice slightly raised.

"We're not quite sure. They just came in saying that 'the KG attacked them' but that could mean anything. We've already lost two men."

I had never been around sevearly injured people before, let alone dead people. So naturally I was scared. And Torn expects me to heal these people? I could barely heal a plant!

"So you want to try and heal them?" Torn nodded. "I can try but I've never healed a person before." He looked over to the patients and then back to me. " You're the best we've got though. No, you're all we've got."

No pressure.

I walked up to one of the patients and remembered what Jak had taught me. Here goes nothing.

(Jak POV)

After finishing the money job Krew gave us, we headed back to HQ. Weaving through the traffic we arrived and headed through the door. As soon as I entered, I could smell blood and disinfectant. I remembered that Ellie got a message from Torn so it must've been about her green eco abilities.

Walking up to the hospital area, I saw people on beds mostly healed. "She managed to heal all of them. I'm extremely surprised at her abilities." Torn said from behind me.

Wait, Ellie healed all these people? By herself?

"Where is she now?" I asked, looking around. "Past out from exhaustion in the next room. Don't wake her though, she's had a long night."

I nodded and headed back out front and got into one of the bunks. I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.

A/N:

Bloody hell I changed this chapter so much from the draft. If you read it you'd be cringing through the whole thing!

It's my longest yet though, so that's an upside :)

For the people wondering "what about Samos?" He's on a mission in the wasteland, or something like that...

Hope you enjoyed this chap and I'll be back soon.
