I dont own fallout in any way shape or form all rights go to betheseda
"Can we stop now"whined Butch as they walked through the metro tunnels. It was starting to get annoying not only that but it might attract attention to them. On the other hand resting was probably a good idea acording to her pip boy it was supposed to be getting dark not that she could tell all the way down heer.
she sighed in defeat before turning around to face Butch he was wearing his usual leather jacket and blue jeans a backpack strapped to his back full of all kinds of things mainly ammo and food his switch blade attached to his belt and a 10mm sub machine gun he had modifyed he named it 'Butches sling shot' what ever that was.
"Fine but we have to find a safe place to sleep"looking around she spotted an old trian an obstacle to some people but in her eyes it was a safe heavon to rest and sleep but to Butch it was a heap of metal with windows. quickly she grabbed her crowbar from the belt of her armored vault 101 jumpsiut. Walking over to the trashed train she aimed the crow bar carefully at the crease between the doors earning a few confused stares from Butch.
"say ava ,what are you doing " she didnt answer him instead she slammed the tool into the door way pushing on the bar she started to pry open the doors the metal groaned as the inside bent followed by a clink ava felt the door come loose and slide back with a smirk on her face she walked in screw keys my crow bar is the only key ill ever need.
"Hey ava why didnt you just crawl through a window?" Asked Butch as he walked in behind her the passenger kart was small and furnished with old benches. A few ads were here and there though faded and ilegabal "Becuase Butch I havn't gotten to use my crow bar in awhile and I felt like taering something up besides I dont want to get cut on the glass do you ?" "Um ...no" "So stop complaining and help set up camp and find something to prop the door shut".
Butch sighed ever since he left the vault he had followed Ava to learn the ropes of the waste land the first time Ava told butch to seal the door he just locked it that night he had to fight off six feral ghouls and one angry ava. ever since then he had sealed every room they rested in with the heavyist thing in the room "be shore to close the crack between the doors we dont want any radraoches geting in here and eating our food."
Just the mention of those things made him shudder. ava had been trying to teach him about the waste lands creatures starting from weakest to strongest she had just resintly told him about deathclaws. She said they were one of the touphest things out there strong enough to rival a super mutant it supposedly had foot long claws that it used to gut you alive with. She said if he ever encountered one to shoot it in the legs as much as possible to slow it down get a distance away and shoot it in the head till its dead.
Butch hopes he never had to fight one by the sounds of it it was worse than those mirelurk things. After barrakading the door with some heavy metal bars he started to pull out his blankets from his pack and took a seat on one of the benches. They had been down hear for a few hours all they had found was a few mole rats two radroaches and a bucket load of feral ghouls. He sighed and dropped his back pack on the floor it made a low thud. It was Avas turn to take watch so he lied down on the bench trew the blanket over him and fell into a deep sleep.
Ava was bored it was almost time to wake up butch and switch post. She couldnt wait to go to bed as she stared out the window she saw a little radroach scurrie about. she let her mind drift 'what would it be like to be a radroach ...it would probably suck. bieng at the bottom of the food chain the olny thing smaller than you is a rock'.
Her thoughts were interupted by screaming her hand reached for her assult rifle slung across her back. She listened closely pressing her ear agianst the cool glass she could hear gun shots then another scream looking back out side she saw someone dart out of a tunnel.
She didnt get a good look at him but she could tell it was a kid. Five more figures ran out of the tunnel all clad in leather straps and spikes 'raiders' was the first thing that went through her head. She heard another scream come from the kid she couldnt let this go on any longer walking over to a broken window she aimed the assult rifle at the first raider aiming his pistol at the kid.
Her sight focosed timme seemed to stand still taking carfull aim she pulled the trigger three rounds burst from the barrel hitting the raiders head cuaseing it to explode in a shower of brains and blood splatering allover the other four Butch rolled off the bench hitting the floor with a thud raising his head he groaned "whats going on?" "raiders four left help me take them out."
He was up in a flash snatching up his gun he checked the clip and pushed it back in the gun and takeing aim at the group they were in a cirlce now trieing to find the shooter butch focosed on them and let loose along with Ava blasting them down in a shower of bullets by the time they emptied there clips the raiders were just a blood stain on the wall there was a short pause before Ava ran to the door kicking the bars down as fast as possible "Ava whats wrong there not going any were your acting like its the end of the world all over agian"
Ava didnt listen by the time he finished his sentence she was already out the door. An already confused butch was baffled when she passed the bodys not even bothering to scavenge ammo and ran for a pile of rubble. Squating down she peared at the kid huddled up into a corner shaking Butch ran up behind her. Gun ready for more attackers he glanced at at the kid then at Ava then back again.
He wore a hooded jacket and dirty torn pants his shoes looked worn out his hands were hidden his face was dirty with grime and dirt he was tan. His eyes were breath taking instead of round pupils they were slitted like a cats the color wasnt natural either they were amber and full of fear he just stared at them shaking. his eyes darting back and forth at butch and Ava.
Ava broke the silence "Its ok we wont hurt you we just want to help"said Ava in a smooth careing voice the fiant light of her pipboy shined in her saphire eyes her usually hardined face was now one of deep concern the boys mouth opened slightly reaveling sharp pointed teeth "Wh-who are y-you?" said the boy stutering "Im Ava and this is Butch whats your name are you hurt?" asked Ava.
"Its Rennan and I got shot in the leg." He lifted up his right leg revealing a small hole in his pants surrounded by blood she didnt waste any time. Pulling a stimpack out of her pocket and popping of the cap. She told him it would sting for a second he simply nodded pulling up his pants leg she saw he had strong legs his skin felt rough like leather.
The bullet had gone clean threw the back of his leg she stuck the needle in beside the wound his skin was surprizeingly thick she almost bent the needle the wound started to slowly heal it would be a few hours before it healed completly but he wouldnt be pain
"Alright stay off that leg and in a few hours youll be as good as new" She reasured him he had stopped shaking " Come on we need to get to safety before something else shows up " She offered her hand he just stared at it before he slowly raised his arm almost relucttaintley his hands came into view. Ava gasped Butch readied his gun rennan froze.
It was quiet for a very long time the boys hands were clawed with three inch black talons connected to thick figures. They glinted in the light of the pipboy. Rennans eyes were locked on Butch he started shaking agian, scared.
Ava glanced at Butch and saw why he was shaking. Butch had the machine gun trained onto Rennans head she glared at him Butch slowly lowered the gun. Scared more of Ava than Rennan she turned back to Rennan who had his hands pressed agianst his chest she spoke to him in a soothing voice "Rennan why do you have...claws?" He opened his mouth as if to say somthing then closed it again before answering.
"Ive always had them" He looked back at Butch with fear in his eyes "Dont worry, Butch wont hurt you, but if he does I will personaly make sure that he'll never have kids" she said that last part with such ferceness that Butch shuddered at the thought. Rennan stopped shaking "come on we need to get to camp its much safer there" he simpley nodded and stood up a long tail swung around his legs Ava and butch were once again speechless 'who is this kid and whats with the tail?'
