"Hmm..." (Y/n) hummed as her eyes slowly opened, sitting up a bit and yawning. She runs her fingers through her tangled (h/c) hair and looked around groggily, "Oh god it wasn't a nightmare. This is the nightmare." She groans and rubs her face, she was still in her bedroom. Still in Helios. Still living with Jack. Sighing and getting out of bed, "Happy birthday, me..." She grumbles depressingly as she walked to the bathroom. She strips from her clothes and steps into the shower. (Y/n) looks at the knobs and buttons in confusion as she turned one and the hot water comes down and she yelps, "Hot!" She quickly turned the other knob to make it cold. It took about 10 minutes to figure out how the shower worked before she started to wash off. It's been awhile since she had a shower. This was her first actual shower in a clean bathroom. She cleans her hair and body before washing out the soap. She finishes and turns the shower off, stepping out of the shower and wrapping a towel around her body.

     "Crap." She murmured, "I don't have any clothes. Damnit." Then there's a knock on her bedroom door. She panicked and looked down at herself, "Shit, what if that's Jack...?" She hissed softly and the knocking continued, "I'm coming!" She shouts as she hurried over to the door, almost slipping since she was still wet. Opening the door slightly and peeking out, she sees a well dressed woman holding a pile of clothes.

     "Good morning." She says, "I'm Handsome Jack's assistant, Courtney. He told me to give these to you since you came to Helios with no baggage." (Y/n) shyly takes the clothes.

     "Th-Thanks. Sorry that you have to see me like this." She says, flustered.

     "It's alright, we're both women." Courtney says and (Y/n) nods.

     "Right. Actually, h-how does Jack know my bra and panties size?" She asks as she held up the panties.

     "Um... I think we should that leave that in the dark and never to be questioned." She informs as (Y/n) blushes and scowls, she's gonna strangle him later.

     "I-I see. Thank you anyways, Courtney." She says with a small smile. Courtney nods.

     "There's coffee ready in the coffee maker and Handsome Jack says you're free to roam around Helios but places where he knows you'll be."

     "Where is he anyway?" (Y/n) asks as she leans against the doorway.

     "Hell if I know, probably shooting an employee out of an airlock." Courtney says suddenly before gasping softly and covering her mouth, "Don't tell him I said that." She says frantically as (Y/n) holds her hands up.

     "Woah, chill. I won't tell him anything." She promised as Courtney sighs in relief and nods.

     "Call if there's anything you need." She says as she walks away and (Y/n) nods while closing the door. She sets the clothes down and slips on the panties and bra. She holds her breath as she lays the outfit out on the bed, then letting out a relieved sigh as it's just a yellow sweater with the Hyperion symbol at the corner and skinny jeans.

     "Why was I expecting some slutty outfit? Oh right, because it's Handsome Pervy Jack." She grumbled as she slipped the outfit on. The sweater was a bit big but it was surprisingly cozy. She dries her hair and leaves it down, putting on socks and her boots. She looks in the mirror and hums, "Not bad." She says before leaving the room. Deciding to skip out on coffee, still not over her traumatic experience in Pandora, she decided to go exploring. (Y/n) walked down the halls and passed employees who rushed to get their work done unless they wanted their raise to be with a bullet in their heads. She looks out the window in fascination as she walked and accidentally bumped into an employee, "Oh gosh, I'm so sorry!" She apologizes.

     "Watch where you're going!" He growled at her as he sped walked away and she huffed, holding back the urge to punch him.

     "What an asswipe." She grumbled as she continued walking. She peeks into the different departments and watched each perso work, wondering if Jack would put her somewhere to work. After some time, she slumped down on a bench outside of a office with a heavy sigh, "I'm so bored..." She muttered as she stretched her legs out, "Maybe I can annoy Jack, after all, he's been a real pest." Standing and walking out down the halls, "Um, excuse me." She calls to a guard.

     "What do you want, kid?" He says with a frown.

     "Can you tell me where Handsome Jack's office is?" She asks as the guard scoffs.

     "Scram. I don't have time for people like you." He huffed and turning to walk away.

     "Excuse me?" She says, anger boiling, "People like me? Well, I don't have time for assholes like you."

     "The fuck did you just say?" He says as he turned around and towered over her, "You don't want to mess with me, sweetheart." 

     "And you don't want to mess with me, jackass." She growled as everyone stopped and watched, "I've killed more bandits than you ever could. I was born and raised in Pandora, I could slit your throats in a matter of seconds."

     "See? This is why Pandorian scum like you deserve to die. You don't belong here, you dirty bitch." He spat and (Y/n) clenches her hands into fists, swinging hard and giving a hard punch across his face.

     "See? This is why Hyperion douchbags like you deserve to be thrown into a ditch full of starving skags." She hissed and repeatedly punched his face, getting her knuckles bloody along with his face, "Don't. Fuck. With. Me." She spat with each punch as the guard begged her to stop before being punched in the mouth.

     "Woah woah woah, what's going on here?" Jack says as he just arrives to the scene, looking between (Y/n) and the bloody guard, but she doesn't notice or hear him. It was almost as if she snapped and lost control of herself. "Hey. Hey!" He says, trying to get her attention before prying her off, "Woah there, calm down, tiger." He says as she thrashed in his grasp and kicked.

     "Let go!" She growled through gritted teeth as her eyes narrowed to slits and sent a deadly glare to him and to the guard.

     "Not until you chill the fuck out, kiddo." He says as she continued to thrash around before he turned her around so that she'll look at him, "Hey. Look at me." He says calmly and holding her face in his big hands, "Look at me and take deep breaths. Calm down." She stares at him as her breaths start to slow down and her eyes scanned his face. "That's it, deep breaths. Now, tell me. What happened, cupcake?" She stares at him for a moment before shaking his hold off her face.

     "Nothing. The asshole was just being a bully. I think he learned his lesson." She breathed heavily as she looked at the wheezing and bloody guard on the floor. Jack looks between the two and nods.

     "Listen, how about we go and get some breakfast. Yeah?" She nods a bit, "Yeah, c'mon." He says as he starts to walk away. He looks at the other guards and slides his finger across his neck and gestured to the guard on the ground. They nod and take the guard away. They reach a corner and he looks at her and taking her hand, "Are you hurt?" He asks as he studied her bloodied knuckles. 

     "I'm fine." She huffed as she wanted to pull her hand away but he kept his hold on her wrist, she feels a slight stinging on her knuckles as they were covered in the guard's blood and hers.

     "You split your knuckles, they're bleeding." Jack says as he walked her to the infirmary.

     "I've had worse." (Y/n)'s grumbles as they walk to the infirmary and sitting down in one of the chairs. Jack takes a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol, getting some of it on the cotton ball.

     "And I thought I had a bad temper." He chuckles as he takes her hand and starts to clean her knuckles. She scoffs.

     "I do not have a bad temper-ow! Gently!" She whined and slapping his arm with her free hand.

     "I am!" He snapped and grimacing slightly, gently cleaning her knuckles and she winces slightly but doesn't say anything. They sat in silence as Jack cleans off the blood, cotton ball turning a pinkish crimson. (Y/n) watches him in slight curiosity, his brows furrowed together as he concentrated. Once all the blood was gone, he tosses the cotton ball and lets go of her hand for a short moment to stand and get ointment and a roll of bandages. She studied her knuckles as they were indeed split, Jack comes back and sits beside her. He takes some ointment and spreads it over her injury.

     "What's this for?" She asks while watching him.

     "It'll help heal wounds faster and prevent infections." He states in a matter of fact as he begins to wrap her hand with the bandages. Once he finishes, he looks at her and holds her bandaged hand, "How does it feel?"

     "Okay I guess..." She says softly as she looked at her mended injury and gently pulled it out of his surprisingly gentle hold, "You didn't have to do that for me." 

     "Well, I had to. Can't have that siren bitch finding out her little angel got hurt for picking a fight with someone." He chuckled as she rolled his eyes.

     "Whatever." She says and they both go quiet. (Y/n) looks down at her bandaged hand and ran her fingers over the bandages, "Thanks though..." She muttered softly as he (e/c) eyes glanced up to his mismatched green and blue ones. Jack looks taken back for a quick second before letting out a soft breathy laugh, sheepishly rubbing the nape of his neck.

     "Not a problem, cupcake. Anyway, let's get breakfast. I bet you're starving." He says and she smiles a tiny bit and nods. They both stand and leave the infirmary, his arm casually slung over her shoulders as they walked.
