Back To Talos
Ajay arrived in the hanger about ten minutes before the Legends were scheduled to take off. It had been awhile since she had packed up so much stuff, especially a stupid dress. In fact the last time that she had packed so much stuff was when she was leaving the Frontier Corps to participate in the Apex games; even then she didn’t pack that much.
When she left Psamathe she left with only a single suitcase and her backpack. She just didn't have time to bring anything else. She had to leave everything else behind on Psamathe otherwise she would have died on that planet. Ajay would have been killed or killed herself if she didn't get out of there when she did.
She lugged her suitcase into the ship and pushed it underneath her seat. She tossed her backpack into the seat next to her as she sat down. The ship much larger compared to the one that used to in the arena. She really didn’t know where World’s Edge was but she had a sinking suspicion that it was on Talos. Ajay remembered that Natalie had mentioned that she working on the new arena. Her body ached with the possibility of going back to Talos.
She peered around to all of the other Legends on the ship but she didn’t see Octavio. She wondered if he was just running late. Since they had been apart for so long she wasn’t really familiar with his habits anymore. When the ship took off she knew he wasn’t coming. She pulled her phone out of her backpack and found that she had a text message from Octavio that read:
Che. HQ needed me for a job. Meet you at World’s Edge in soon. Don't have too much fun without me. Jajajaja.
Ajay let out a sigh of relief after she read the message. She was glad that he was okay and that he hadn’t burned her again. The stupid thought still crossed her mind; probably because it still weighed heavy in her heart. "I need ta cut him some slack." She sent him a text back about getting his shit together before putting her phone into her backpack.
They had been together so much lately she didn’t realize how lonely she was until he wasn’t with her. “Dis is gonna be a long week.” It was weird not being with him, especially since everything had just fell right back into place; just like old times .She was already dreading having to wear a stupid dress and now she was going to have to possibly do It without her partner in crime.
She leaned back in her seat and tried to keep to herself. Anita sat down next to her, “You ready to hit Talos again kid?” Ajay’s body grew a bit tense when her suspicion was confirmed. “I really hope they got their prowler situation under control.” Her shoulder ached at the thought of prowlers. Ajay looked at Anita, wondering where she had gotten all of her information from, “How did yuh know where we be goin?”
Anita motioned over towards Bloodhound’s direction. Ajay shrugged in response. “Makes sense. Bloodhound does a lot recon work.” Ajay looked to Bloodhound, who was apparently staring a hole into her soul. She gave Bloodhound a weird look and looked back at Anita, “I guess they would know.” The only thought that made Ajay happy about going back to Talos was the chance to see Natalie again; at least she hoped that Natalie would still be there.
Worry started to sink in and her body started to ache from the thought of another possible prowler attack. She really didn’t want to go through another ordeal like that again. “But if there are benefactors there then everyting has ta be secure.” Her mind was put to ease; at least for the time being. She looked back over to Bloodhound, who was still staring at her. She then looked down at her hands in her lap.
“What’s da deal wit Bloodhound?” Anita shrugged, “Maybe going back to Talos is drudging up old memories.” Ajay looked at Anita, “Back?” Anita nodded, “Yeah. Talos is where Bloodhound is from.” Ajay didn’t know a whole lot about Bloodhound but what Anita said had made sense. Ajay wondered if the story that Natalie had told her was about Bloodhound’s people. It was hard to get an idea of what was going on with Bloodhound because they really never shared anything.
Ajay nodded and brushed it off for the time being. It wasn’t too long before they landed and everyone exited the ship. Ajay took her time, she really wasn’t in much of a hurry to do anything on Talos. She threw her backpack on and grabbed her suitcase. As she started to walk towards the exit ramp of the ship she was immediately stopped by a hand on her shoulder. She froze in place as she heard Bloodhound’s voice, “Ajay.”
She slowly turned around to face them. When she was finally facing Bloodhound they spoke to her directly, “I need to talk to you.” Ajay nodded, “Okay?” Bloodhound handed her a small piece of paper that we neatly folded. “It’s not safe here.” Bloodhound walked off the ship without another word. Ajay opened the folded piece of paper to see a whole bunch of numbers written on it. The first set of numbers looked like a time and the other numbers looked like maybe they were coordinates.
Ajay folded the paper back up and shoved it into her pocket as she exited the shipped with her belongings. As soon as she set foot on land Natalie was there to greet her. Ajay took one step towards Natalie but in no time the little electrical engineer closed the gap between them and hugged Ajay tightly. Ajay hugged Natalie back and noticed that Elliot and MRVN were waiting with Natalie. Ajay realized that Elliot hadn’t been on the ship. “Maybe he got here sooner ta be wit Natalie.”
Her thoughts were promptly interrupted by Natalie’s high pitched voice, “Ajay!” Elliot took Ajay's suitcase as Natalie released her from their embrace. MRVN appeared next to them, clapping with a smiley face on his screen. Ajay looked down to Natalie and forced a fake smile; Ajay was never good at real smiles. Natalie smiled back as she took Ajay’s hand and began leading her to wherever they were going.
Ajay followed along and pulled the paper from her pocket to show it to Natalie as they walked, “Hey do yuh know where dis is? I think des are coordinates.” Natalie took the paper and quickly scanned it over before handing the paper back to Ajay, “Oui. Do you need to go there at 8pm?” Ajay nodded as she took the paper back. “Do I have a choice?”
Natalie smiled, “It’s a trek but we could take the train, it would be quicker.” Ajay thought about it for a moment. If it wasn’t safe to talk about it on the transport ship, she doubted taking the train would be much safer, “I think I need ta go by foot.” Natalie smiled, “Then it’s settled! We will walk. We will all go on an adventure!” Natalie could hardly contain herself as she skipped along.
Before Ajay could decline the ‘we’ part Natalie interjected, “Let me show you where you will staying. It is a lot nicer than before!” Ajay had been too preoccupied with Bloodhound, and then Natalie, to realize that they had landed in a different area Talos than she had landed in previously. They were in a city that had quite a few buildings in it.
Some of the buildings were the same but most of the buildings differed in height. There were a set of train tracks that wrapped around the backside of the city. The outskirts of the city appeared to be open land which eventually ended in a drop off. “Are we staying in the city?” Natalie smiled, “Oui. They outfitted the buildings to be inhabited for now. Later the city and its buildings will be used for the arena.”
They headed towards a rather tall building, where Ajay assumed the Legends were staying. They entered the building which was simple on the interior. There was a check in desk with an attendant waiting. There was a single elevator set across from the main entry way and a set of stairs set off to the side. Ajay didn’t really notice anything else in particular about the building as they got into the elevator.
Natalie took the group to the third floor. “There are only two rooms per floor. I am on the same floor as you Ajay! I made sure of it!” Ajay had almost forgotten the pure excitement that always exuded from Natalie’s voice. The hallway was small when they exited the elevator. Ajay npticed a glass window on each side of the hallway before she looked over to the only two rooms on the floor. Natalie took Ajay to the room that she would be staying in; MRVN and Elliot followed behind them.
The room was simple just like the rest of the building. There was a queen sized bed in the room with a dresser. There was also a small, open closet to hang clothing in. There was a small kitchen right near the entry way. Across from the kitchen, on the other side of the entry way, there was an L shaped sofa and small coffee table. The only other room that was separate from the rest of the layout was the bathroom and shower. Elliot set Ajay’s suitcase down where Ajay motioned for him to.
Ajay sat down on the bed and Natalie sat next to her, “Ajay?” Natalie looked down into her lap because she was nervous. Ajay looked at Natalie as Elliot took a seat on the sofa with MRVN. “For the event on Saturday? Will you help me with my makeup? I really never had anyone help me do that kind of stuff. Renee said that she heard you have been to a few of these events before and that you knew what you were doing.” Natalie fiddled with her fingers as she waited for Ajay to answer her.
Ajay put her hand on Natalie’s back and gave her a reassuring rub, “Sure. I got yuh.” Natalie beamed a smile at Ajay, “I lost my mom when I was very young. It has always just been me and papaw.” Ajay nodded. “So when it came ta the girly stuff in life Natalie really didn know what ta do.” Ajay almost wished that she didn’t know what to do either. She wished that she knew nothing about that life.
As a child, and even up until she was an adult, she was forced to attend so many damn events that it made her physically sick to even think about. If she even so much as indicated that she didn't want to go an event then she would suffer the consequences at the hands of her parents. Beautiful gowns were great to hide ugly secrets; that’s probably why her parents forced her to wear them. Fake smiles made great family portraits.
“Oh, Ajay, we should get ready to go soon if you want to make it to your meeting location on time.” Ajay nodded and they both stood up at the same time. “I need ta change. It was a long a flight…” She trailed off glancing over at Elliot who already looking in her direction. Natalie looked at Elliot and MRVN, “Bye bye!” She pushed them out of the room and closed the door behind them.
Ajay pulled her suitcase up onto the bed and opened it. She pulled out a long black dress and hung it up in the closet. Natalie went and inspected the dress while Ajay pulled some clothing out of her suitcase. She really didn’t need to change because she had already done that before she left her apartment for the trip.
She neglected to shower when got back home. She still smelt like alcohol and sex and whatever else Elliot's place smelt like. She blushed as the thought of having Octavio inside of her; deep inside of her. She bit her lower lip for a moment and tried not to put much more thought into it or she was going to end up in the shower longer than she wanted to be, “Natalie I’m gonna take a quick shower.” Natalie nodded holding Ajay’s dress out at an angle to get better look so that she could inspect it.
The shower was too quick but Ajay didn’t want to keep Natalie waiting. After Ajay was done she put on the essentials; as usual. She also put on a black tank top and a pair of black leggings. Natalie glanced over at Ajay, who was sitting on the bed. “How are your wounds healing?” Natalie offered Ajay a smile.
Ajay forced a face smile again, “Better. Thank yuh” It wasn't a lie; some days were better than others. She slipped on her boots and black hoodie. She didn’t bother putting her hair up so that it could dry faster. She pondered if there was any way she could sneak out and go back to Solace; she just didn’t want to deal with any of this right now.
