[Chapter 11]

     Moxxi gasps and jumps up and down in excitement, her breasts bouncing and making Vaughn, Rhys, and Jack's eyes move up and down to the motion.

     "(Y/n)!" She squeals and goes around the bar and snatches her, pulling her into a tight hug and making (Y/n) grunt at the sudden action. "It's been so long! Ellie said you were back a few months ago but you never dropped by to visit, sugar." Moxxi says while pressing (Y/n)'s face in her cleavage. The others can't help but chuckle at this as her face is rubbed against Moxxi's bosom due to her excessive hugging. "Do you know how worried we were for the past how many years?" A muffled "4" is heard from her breasts. "She said you came back five months ago but gave us the news two months later. What gives, sugar?" (Y/n) manages to free her face from Moxxi's chest but her chin still pressed into the pillow bosoms.

     "I... I didn't want you all... To worry about me... And baby me the minute I got here." She says in between gasps for breath. Moxxi hugs tighter.

     "What about later?"

     "I was gonna come visit!" (Y/n) argued with a huff, "Just haven't found the time."

     "And suddenly now you decide to show up?" Moxxi frowns before peppering motherly kisses all over (Y/n)'s face, "Having us worried to death. I would've taken you in and work here." She says as she left red lipstick kisses all over her face.

     "I'm sorry that I worried you, but I'm not a baby anymore!" (Y/n) whined with a pout, trying to escape Moxxi's excessive affection, "I'm 24, about to turn 25, for god's sake. Please stop, not in front of friends." She whined in protest as her head is held against Moxxi's bosom. The woman looks over at the group and the four jump.

     "Are you friends of (Y/n)'s?" Moxxi asks and they nod. Moxxi smirks as her eyes scan each individual, "You got yourself some really attractive friends, sugar. I wouldn't mind taking them in the back if they needed it." She cooed in a sultry voice and bit to her bottom lip with a smirk. This makes the four blush madly and shift uncomfortably as Jack chuckles.

     "Damn, she's still a hoe." He snickered.

     "Not nice, man." Rhys murmured to him quietly and Jack scoffs.

     "Moxxi." (Y/n) whined as she finally escaped the older woman's hold, "We're not here to mingle." She huffed and tries to wipe away the red kisses that littered her face.

     "Then what are you sugars here for? I was gonna throw a party for you, I still have to throw that birthday party for that I didn't get to do 4 years ago." Moxxi says with a pout.

     "It's fine. Maybe next time though. But we need Scooter and Ellie's help for a mission, and maybe Zer0's too." Moxxi sighs as she walked back behind the bar.

     "I'm sorry sugar but they're on a mission of their own right now and won't be back for awhile. And you know that can't happen without Lilith's permission, sweets." (Y/n) groans.

     "Lilith doesn't have to know. She disowned me so I'm nothing more but a stranger to her now." (Y/n) shrugged with a frown as Moxxi gave the young woman a look with a brow arched. (Y/n) feels her stare and whines, "Please Moxxi? Can you persuade her at least? We need to get somewhere as soon as possible. These guys need to get back to Helios." The whole bar goes silent and the music suddenly stops. All the Vault Hunters glare at the group and Vaughn makes a small noise in fear.

     "How much do these guys not like you?" Rhys whispered to Jack.

     "Well, I kinda blew up their home and tried to kill the Crimson Raiders." He points to Moxxi, "She's acquainted to them so they all have a equal form of hatred for me and Hyperion. Sooo they might kill you guys." Rhys internally groaned as he moved closer to his three friends.

     "They work for Hyperion?" Moxxi asks while glaring at them, all the Vault Hunters pull out their guns and the sound of the guns' clicks are heard. Sasha immediately perks up and raised a hand slightly.

     "Um, me and my sister don't. We were actually born and raised on Pandora and hate those snobs too." Fiona nods in agreement.

     "But these two work for them though." She says while pointing at Vaughn and Rhys. The two men shoot Fiona and Sasha a look of total betrayal, the two women shrug and smile apologetically at them. All the Vault Hunters' glares snap to Vaughn and Rhys, who both jump in fright.

     "You two have some balls of steel coming down here, especially here." Moxxi says with a scowl.

     "Look," Rhys says as he held his hands out, "We're not here to cause trouble for you guys. We're actually wanted by Hyperion for taking 10 million dollars from them so TECHNICALLY, we're on your side." He said in attempt to reason with them. They all look at each other before one speaks up.

     "So you two are wanted by Hyperion for 10 mil?"

     "If you put it like that yeah. Dead or alive." Vaughn says and Rhys elbows him in the arm. "Ow...!" He whisper yelled.

     "Let's kill them and turn them in!" One Vault Hunter says and they all nod in agreement with shouts. Vaughn and Rhys' eyes widen as the Vault Hunters start to crowd the two.

     "Wow, good job, Rhysie. Great sportsmanship. You basically just turned yourself in to killers. Next thing you know, they'll drop your corpses off to my military with a bullet in your heads and all wrapped up in a nice little bow to top it off. What a great way to go out, kiddo." Jack drawled out sarcastically while slow clapping. Rhys shoots him a quick glare before one Vault Hunter roughly takes his mechanical arm and another grabs Vaughn's arm.

     "Wait!" (Y/n) shouts over them and they all stop. She walks over to the two Vault Hunters that held Vaughn and Rhys in a deathlike grip on their arms, "Let them go."

     "What are you doing?" Moxxi asks.

     "They mean no harm, guys. They have no way to defend themselves." (Y/n) says.

     "They have a Loader Bot outside!" One Vault Hunter shouts and they all start to get riled up again.

     "He's a pacifist! I had to literally save them from getting mutilated by a group of bandits yesterday." (Y/n) tried to reason.

     "We could've handled it." Rhys says as (Y/n) shoots him a glare.

     "Says the guy who almost got his ass stabbed by a midget a few hours ago from a neighboring bandit camp. So shut up if you want to live." She hissed at him.

     "She has a point." Jack says with a smirk as Rhys frowns at him and does as he's told and shuts up.

     "Anyway," (Y/n) looks back at the Vault Hunters, "They are literally harmless. And that's coming from me, the person who was famous here for hating the shit out of people from Hyperion. So just lay off and let them go, do that and drinks are on me." They all look at each other before they all nod, letting the two go. Rhys and Vaughn breathe a sigh of relief as they Hunters walk away with their lingering glares.

     "You can't afford all their drinks, sugar." Moxxi says with a slight smirk as they walked up to the bar and sat down in the bar stools

     "Put it on my tab, I'll pay. Eventually." (Y/n) snickered with a smirk and wink. Moxxi chuckles and shakes her head while looking at the four friends.

     "Sorry about that, darlings. As you can see, we're not very fond of people from up there." Moxxi apologized with a shrug and smile, "But if (Y/n) considers you guys friends, then I do too."

     "But did you guys know that she also worked for Hyperion? And was with Handsome Jack?" Vaughn asks and Rhys elbows him again, receiving a glare from him, "What?"

     "That's a rude question." Rhys says as Moxxi chuckles and wipes a empty glass with a wet rag.

     "Of course we knew. After that bastard's death, all we ever saw was banners of (Y/n) all over Pandora for 4 years. But you don't know how proud I felt as a momma, doing how much better and good she was doing compared to that psychopath. Oh my lil' baby (Y/n)!" Moxxi swooned while pinching (Y/n)'s cheek.

     "Moxxi!" She whined in protest, "You're not my mom."

     "But I see you as one of my own so I kinda am."

     "Not really." She grumbled while rubbing her cheek with a pout.

     "Anyway, no matter how proud I felt, I was a bit disappointed to hear that she was in a relationship with that dick." Moxxi says with a stink eye, (Y/n) rolls her eyes.

     "Hey!" Jack says, looking offended.

     "I mean, I did everything I could to make him seem like a total douchebag when I told her stories about my history with him."

     "You dated him too?" Fiona asks with wide eyes and (Y/n) and Moxxi snicker.

     "Trust me, sugar. Handsome Jack was in a lot of relationships."

     "She's not wrong." Jack admitted, "But not as much as her though. Balloon Tits over here cheated on me once so I blew up her stupid bar."

     "He was a terrible lover." Moxxi says.

     "I was not!" Jack retorted, making Rhys stifle a laugh.

     "Not until you got to know him." (Y/n) spoke up as she played with her crimson gun. They all look at (Y/n) and Jack's face softens. "Yeah he was a total snobby douchebag at first. But after awhile, once you get to know him and you both warm up to each other, he was really the perfect guy you could ever ask for." She smiles softly to herself and Rhys sees Jack walk over to her with a small smile on his face. "He just needed someone to stay by his side and keep him up on his feet, it helped him stay sane and feel almost human." Moxxi bites her lips together and places her hands on top of (Y/n)'s.

     "I know how you feel. It's amazing to hear that you worked it out and that you found happiness, you would always tell me through the ECHO how you were getting along with him as time went on. But he killed Roland and thousands of us, he was insane. And I know that you didn't want to take sides, that must've been a lot of stress."

     "It was. Especially after his death. But all of you have forgiven me. And I'm happy about that because you guys didn't hold the choices I made against me. All but one person though." (Y/n) says softly with a small and sad smile.

     "Who?" Sasha asks. Moxxi opens her mouth to answer before the doors slam open. Everyone look at the entrance to see four Vault Hunters standing there. (Y/n)'s eyes widen as she instantly recognized them, so does Jack. There stood Mordecai, Brick, Zer0, and Lilith.

     "Oh shit..." He says softly, Rhys gulps slightly. "That's the chick you have to persuade, kiddo." Rhys' eyes widen.

     "H-Her?" He grumbled at nudged his head at the intimidating siren.

     "Yep." Jack nods and Rhys suddenly feels anxious, he had a feeling that they won't be getting to Atlas anytime soon.
