(A/N: This will be a small series of shorts i will be writing when i have time. Hopefully this will inspire me to go back to my main story, but for now, i can just go write these. They won't all be picking up where the last one ended, as this is a brief(ish) introduction to my Lone Wanderer. These will have varying sizes in order for me to be able to update often. As always, I'm wishing for some constructive criticism in order for my writing to improve.)
The Lone Wanderer had just arrived to the Citadel an hour ago.
She sat at a table in the cafeteria, being looked at by everyone for being the only one in the building not wearing Power Armour. But she didn't care. She couldn't care about anything that moment. She was just trying to process what had happened.
Early in the morning, they arrived to Rivet City. Her and her father. She was very happy, finally, after weeks, she had found her daddy. Finally now she could breathe a bit since she set out from Megaton. So she thought.
But her father didn't have time for such things. First thing he went to do when they arrived to Rivet City was to meet with Dr. Li. And as soon as she was reasoned with, they ran to Project Purity.
And without thinking, her father was going to go inside, before the Doctor reminded him that there might be Mutants inside.
The Wanderer knew there were Mutants. She had to sneak by them to get to the tapes her father had left there. And now it was her time to clean the building of Mutants.
"You are probably the best one of us in combat. Please honey" Her father had said. He must have forgotten the state in that she was in. In the way towards Vault 112, she had run out of Assault Rifle ammo. On the way back, she ended up with only 3 rounds for the Hunting Rifle, and 30 for the trusty 10mm Pistol.
And now, when she spent ALL her caps in trying to cover the holes in her Armoured Vault Suit and filling up on ammo and stimpacks, he wanted her to go fight more Super Mutants. Fighting them when you have the Lions' Pride along with you is hard enough, but no, of course she had to go fight EVEN MORE in the dimly lit, claustrophobic in the confusing corridors of Project Purity.
At that point, she honestly thought about flipping his father off and just buggering off, but by her miraculous amount of patience and respect for her father, she resisted the temptation.
