AN: Alright, so this story begins at Broken Steel and goes into an original story. Nathan A. Crowe (Lone Wanderer) x Sarah Lyons. Would do a New Vegas Fan-fiction, but I didn't really like it, too use to Fallout 3 I guess.

Slowly his eye's opened to see a brick wall, and then his eyes shot open and darted around the room as he got up. Elder Lyons stood before him.

"Easy, easy," He said, "it is okay, you're at the Citadel, your safe now. I've been coming down here for the past two weeks checking on you… and my daughter. It's good to see that at least one of you recovered."

"Where is Sarah? Is she alright?" Nate asked worriedly, rubbing his neck.

"Yes, yes she is fine, or will be soon." The elder said looking over at his unconscious daughter. "I appreciate your concern for her, but really, don't worry. You've been through enough."

"What's going on? What happened?" Nate asked.

"There was sort of energy spike as the purifier started. You and Sarah were knocked unconscious, and brought here to the infirmary. We we're watching over you two for days, I'm glad to see it paid off."

"So it worked? The purifier I mean."

"Indeed, I hope soon we won't refer to the "the wasteland" anymore. We are seeing to it that the water is distributed to as many people as possible. I know your father would be happy, if he were still with us."

"What happened to the Enclave? Did we win?"

"Yes indeed we did. Between you destroying Raven's Rock and their defeat at the purifier, the Enclave has been thrown into disarray. Liberty Prime has been assisting our forces in removing the remaining Enclave soldiers."

"So, what happens now, sir?" Nate said, standing up.

"Well, that really up to you, isn't it? The Brotherhood has a clear plan of action: the remnants of the Enclave must be swept away. The question is will you help us?"

"Damn straight."

"Then I hereby grant you and your companions Knights of the Brotherhood of Steel."

"Wait, so I'm a Knight, just like that?"

"Well normally there is a series of tests that we preform, but under these circumstances, I think you'll understand why we need to jump the gun. Anyways go speak to scribe Rothchild; he'll fill you in on what's happened."

"Where are all my belongings?"

"Check the Armory; also get your set of official armor while you're there."

After Elder Lyons left the room, Nate walked over to Sarah's unconscious body and put his hand on her shoulder and turned her on to her back. She still looked so beautiful to him. He smiled that she was still breathing. He bobbed his head down and kissed her forehead.

"If you can hear me, pull out of it Sarah, I hope that day wasn't the last I get to speak to you."

He walked out of the room to see, Butch, Fawkes, Jericho, Dogmeat, Charon, and Star-Paladin Cross waiting for him. Fawkes ran up and almost crushed Nate with a bear hug.

" Ah, my friend!" the super mutant said joyfully, " I knew you would pull through!"

Nate slapped Fawkes's arm, gasping for air. Then Fawkes let him go, Butch helped him back to his feet.

"Hey, man," Butch said, "good to see you're alright."

" You ain't getting rid of me that easily Butch." Nate said shaking his hand.

"Your father would be proud, Nate." Cross said.

"Yeah, yeah, glad to have you back. Can I keep Charon's Contract?"

"Jericho I said you could keep it if I died, I want it back."

The old raider handed Nate the ghoul's contract.

"Alright now tha-, Charon put down your shotgun. Now that that's over with; as it stands we are now knights of the Brotherhood, so let's go get suited up."

They went to the armory and got the suits of power armor, except Charon and Fawkes who were having their armor custom made. After twelve hours they stepped out of the armory clad in the grey suits of armor. A recruit watched them step out of the armory and then spoke to his buddy next to him.

"A super-mutant in power armor? Something about that just seems so wrong."

"Just be glad it's on our side." His buddy said back.
