We all called it a day. Sun was long gone and it was nighttime. Everybody said good night and we go to sleep. I slept alone just like everyone. It was a long and tiring day. Hope next will be better. I laid in bed and got some blankets and fell asleep very fast.

Axton P.O.V.

All men beside Sir Hammerlock are cleaning this town. Maya, the kid, and (Y/N) are cooking dinner with help of an older hunter. It was a bit of a surprise to me that Krieg was fast to clean bodies up. He could take two adult Bullimongs at once. To be honest I'm a bit afraid he will kill us. It seems to me that he likes this new girl. Well, she is not a girl. Claptrap was wheeling aimlessly around the whole area. He kept bothering us but then disappeared. With help of Zero, I got my last body into the pit.

"It was fun." Salvador said to us.

"When you work together it is easy. We should make a fire to warm us."

"Zero is right. Ok, let's search for wood and something to sit on."

We searched "houses" in the hope to find what we need. If you even can call it a house. We found folding chairs and some wooden furniture. Which is not everyday sight on Pandora. From Hunters' house, we could see smoke. Along with a nice aroma. Somehow Krieg brought us stones. They will provide fire from spreading. Not that it would be needing with this much snow. I stoke the fire while Salvador and Zero unfolded and placed chairs. I count them in my mind and one person will not have a place to sit. I don't want to sit on ice and snow.

"Minions! (Y/N) said that she will tell me about herself!" The robot was wheeling around us, Wawing hands. "For I am all your master so I decided you will hear it too."

Good that he is thinking about us. Thanks to it we will know something about her. I wonder what she is doing for a living. Maybe she has someone back home. She looks like she could have a family. Maybe even children. That thought somehow made me sad. She could be alone too. At that moment Maya and Gaige come to help us.

Making the fireplace and organizing place went fast. Especially when everyone is helping. Well, the robot was the only blabbing and moving from side to side. Then we hear her voice and girls go to her. This probably means the diner is ready. We had a place for almost everyone. Just one person will sit on snow or someone's lap. I could imagine a new girl sitting on mine. I was brought back from that image when Maya gave me a bowl of strew of some kind. Only then I saw that we all are sitting around the fire. (Y/N) is next to Krieg and Gaige. It's like they are together.

"Let's eat up. Strew is still warm and cold is not so warming." She can talk to me all the time. As we eat Claptrap comes to her. Why did he put those claws on her shoulders?

"So minion you promised me something. I am sure rest want to know too."

"Ok, each one of you can give me one question, and then we will see." We all agreed with the nod of their heads. The first was Claptrap.

"Where do you come from?"

"It will be a surprise for all of you. I live in a Galaxy called Milkyway. Solar system, on the third planet from Sun, The Earth. More specifically on a (C/N) in a City (Ct/N). I hope this will satisfy you. Gaige, you're next."

"Ok. So how did you ended up on Pandora? You are from a totally different Galaxy. Did you use some space ship or rocket?"

"Technically that are two questions. How I ended up here is a mystery for me. One moment I am home and the next everything is white and I am sitting on the snow in front of a robot. So no I did not have a rocket or a spaceship. Next."

"I saw how you convinced Claptrap. Do you do things like this often?"

"Well, I do have to convince people to my work or just calm them down. You could say that over the years I learned how to say things to get what I want. I just don't do it a lot. Those who work with me had learned that if I say something they do it. Next."

"You have weird guns with yourself is it some technology from Earth?"

"Yes more or less. Those pistols are from Earth. But you could not buy them in any store. Those are the only pair and they are mine."

"What is your work that you need to convince people?" That question comes before I could think it off. But it will be good to know that. Maybe she is a spy. Or another trick of Handsome Jack.

"Hmm for more than 7 years I work in one place. I am an engineer. And believe me, for the first 3 years I had to prove to all of my coworkers that I knew what I do. I make a gun. Not only pistols but different types of guns and armored vehicles. We mostly work for the government and military." When she said the last two sentences she placed my left hand on the gun. Hmm, so she loves guns. That will be something useful."Next."

"You said you make the weapon. But I saw how you handle it. Have you been shooting before?"

"To be honest yes. Our Boss is former General and everyone person that starts working for him has to be prepared. That means that you have full military training. And shooting a gun is part of it. He always says that we need to know how hard they have and what we can do to help them."

"Do you believe in destiny?" Zeros' question surprised me.

"Yes, I do. I know that nothing happens without a reason. There must be a reason why I am here. As there is a reason why I have that kind of work."

Everyone looked at Kreig. I swear if he does something like last time I will shoot. He should stay away from her.

"I like kittens." And once again he started to pet (Y/N). Like last time girl stopped him.

"Thank you." Why she sied that with a smile? Am I so scary? Or is it something else?

We all called it a day. It was nighttime. Everybody said good night and we go to sleep. We decided everyone will sleep alone in homes. I laid in bed with a blanket. Why she is interesting. Yes, (Y/N) is a beauty. But there is something else. I finally fall asleep.
