Disclaimer: I do not own Fallout geniuses. If I did I would not be writing this thing called FAN FICTION. So, with that in mind I don't own all of this but most of the things you don't recognize will be my own idea. On with the show.

Welcome to the capital waste land. This is the story of a boy named Kaine and all the challenges that await him in the outside world...

It all started in a vault. A vault that by all records could never have existed. An additional vault, completed under L'enfant Plaza mere hours before the bombs fell. But over time it was forgotten after the vault was buried under the ruins of a collapsed over pass, believed to be lost forever.

But during the siege of the Jefferson memorial, stray mortar fire cleared away enough of the twenty foot thick debris that a thin shaft of light shone through to the dark entry chamber. And for the first time in 200 years, natural sun light found the logo painted onto the steel door. The outside world had found Vault 123.
