Fallout 4 what a world

Chapter 2

AN: just a few quick notes before we get on with the story this will be a "minutemen rebuilding/ creating a new country." Also I have changed the appearance of the female deathclaws as I find the difference to be almost zero in fallout 4 now on with the story.

Sole survivor x female deathclaw

Somewhat AU but still mostly cannon

I don't own fallout

As Alex slowly lowered his hand once his eyes adjusted to the light he looked up and took a small step back as he found himself face to face with a large creature. His instincts were yelling at him not to run or this creature would rip him apart in less than a second. Slowly he started to examine the creature. He started at the bottom with its feet it had three toes that looked like they belonged on a bird or a lizard. He slowly made his way up the creature's body and found that it was actually a she; as there was a small slit. Quickly moving on as he wasn't sure how intelligent the creature in front of him was. He came to her chest and his mind almost shut down at the rack she had. It was easily an E-Cup. He resumed he examination when he heard a growl coming from the now agitated female. Finally he came to her face and he almost wish he didn't. Her face that most would call ugly but he thought it looked almost cute at least it would if the look of loathing and hatred was not on her face. Finally he decided to break the awkward silence.

"Um hello?" he said hoping not to either spoke or piss the creature off any more than she obviously was. He was surprised when she blinked at him and her eyes changed from hatred to curiosity He was absolutely stunned when she asked.

"You're different than all the other humans I have met I can just by the look in your eyes. Do you know what I am?" She asked. Alex shook his head no.

"No I just got out of the vault." He said wearily but also curiously.

"I see well I guess I should introduce myself than I am what the people of this hellish world call a deathclaw." She said while she casually cleaning her claws watching his reaction to her words closely. She was pleasantly surprised when he did not back away or tried to raise his gun. Not that it would have done much to her anyways. Instead he looked around them and said.

"I think that we should get moving standing still can be lethal." He said as she nodded as Alex and the deathclaw walked up to a create and started looting it finding some stims, radaway, ammo and some other small junk which he saved encase he needed it. Once he was done he turned back to her.

"I apologize for not asking right off the bat but what your name?" he asked her.

"My name is Shima." The now named Shima said.

"Names Alex smith or at least that's what I used to be called before I took my wife's last name. I guess I will have to use my old name again so just call me Alex Hellsing." He said smiling politely at her before his face turned serious again.

"Shima I want to apologize for earlier I did not mean to stare it's just all this is new to me and all." He said apologetically. Shima just giggled before teasingly saying.

"I don't mind if you look but if you try and touch you may lose the offending appendage." She said sweetly flexing her claws playfully. Alex snorted.

"Thanks for the tip." He said with a pout making her chuckle again

"So would you like to come with me? I am headed home to see if there's anything left after all this time." He asked her. Shima paused. Truthfully she had nowhere else to go as it was she was just traveling looking for her next meal so why not.

"Alright I will come with you." She said before grinning.

"As long as you promise not to try to try and cope a fell." She laughed softly.

"Ok I promise besides I am not that type of guy to risk my hands or anything else" he said reassuringly. The two started walking down to sanctuary.

"Once we get to sanctuary there are a few places I want to hit before we do anything else is that alright with you?" he asked her receiving a nod the two continue to converse when Alex thought of a question that had been bothering him.

"So what exactly are you Shema? I don't mean to be rude but judging by your appearance I would have to say you might have been mutated from a lizard of some kind." He said thoughtfully.

"Yes my father once said that our ancestors were once called the Jackson chameleon I believe." She said.

"Wait you said your father does that mean that there are other deathclaw like you?" he asked curiously. However he was surprised and saddened when she shook her head sadly in the negative.

"My pack hailed from the east coast. Originally we were mindless monsters only running on instinct until a shadowy group called the enclave came and injected my father and all the other deathclaws in our pack with a virus called the FEV. It changed them and made them as intelligent as a normal human. However after learning all they could from them they dropped the pack off at vault thirteen. Then one day a vault dweller came and repaired the water system in return for a GECK. I was born a few years before that but I don't really remember all that much. My father thought that that would be the last of the interaction we had with the humans. Alas it was not meant to be the enclave returned and nearly wiped us all out… I was the only survivor." She said lowering her head in sadness until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked at Alex and noticed his eyes were soft and understanding yet not pitying.

"Hey I know what it's like to lose family. Believe me I have been frozen in a chamber for over two hundred years. I had to sit helplessly as a group of raiders came through and took my son and killed my wife. I checked the logs when I woke up and managed to get out of that damn pod. I found out that my son had been kidnapped sixty years ago. Now I don't even know if he is alive and I can only hope that wherever he is he is safe and happy." Alex said solemnly. Shema looked at the man sadly he had lost everything and everyone just like her. She felt a connection between the two even if she had just met this man. The two lapsed into silence as they continued onto sanctuary. Once they arrived Alex noticed Codsworth.

"Codsworth is that really you?" Alex asked surprised to see his robotic butler still kicking even after all these years.

"As I live and breathe is it really you master Alex?" Codsworth asked sounding shocked.

"It's good to see you again to Codsworth. Look Codsworth I can't stay and chat I have things I need to do so if you could listen I would appreciate It." he said. Codsworth gave his best salute.

"Of course sir and… AH!" Codsworth shouted pointing his flamethrower at Shema. Alex stepped in front of Shema and gave Codsworth a glare not noticing Shema's dumbstruck expression.

"Codsworth she is with me leave her alone." He said threateningly. Slowly Codsworth lowered his flamethrower.

"I-I apologize sir but I have only heard stories of creatures like that from the people in concord. Things that can rip you to shreds in seconds." He said still eyeing Shema with one of his eyes.

"Yes well she with me so can we get… wait you said people in concord you mean there are still people there." Alex asked hopefully not noticing Shema's worried expression.

"Yes sir I once went into town nice people they only threw a few rocks at me." He said cheerfully. Shema snorted softly.

"Sounds like raiders still if you want to check it out I will watch your back." Shema said. Alex turned to her and gave her a smile that made her blush.

"Thanks for having my back Shema but first I want to take a stop by my old house I think that there is a few things I want to pick up first." Alex said to her. After getting a nod Alex turned back to Codsworth.

"Codsworth while I am getting the things from my house can you scrounge up any other ammo, food, water, weapons or money you can find." Alex asked Codsworth after receiving another salute Codsworth wondered off to do his masters bidding. Alex turned back to Shema.

"I am sorry about him he is just over protective is all." Alex said.

"It's alright I am use to it by now." She said without much emotion in her tone. However Alex could tell that she was lying as he had used the same tone in his childhood.

"Do you get treated that way everywhere you go?" He asked her softly receiving a sad nod.

"Why would people treat you that why you seem fine to me." He said. She smiled sadly at him.

"There are other Deathclaw out their they are what I guess you could consider "wild" they are like me but lack higher cognition process and they have a taste for human flesh." She said sadly.

"So people treat you the same as a wild deathclaw because they immediately assume you are one they don't even try to communicate?" He asked she gave a humorless chuckle.

"Why would they I mean I am kind of like them just a freak of nature." She said sadly.

"No, no you're not a freak they are if they can't tell the difference between an amazing being and a mindless monster. You are not a freak never think that Shema." He said seriously. She smiled softly and did something that really surprised him she came up to him and hugged him.

"Thank you I truly mean that thank you Alex." She cried softly into his shoulder like she never had before it took a moment before he returned the hug. The two stayed like that for a moment before they broke apart. Shema bushed softly.

"Sorry about that it's just I have never had an intelligent conversation with another sentient being." She said shyly. Alex just waved it off.

"It's fine I know what it's like to carry a burden." He replied softly. Before he turned his head and looked at the seemingly never ending expanse he turned his head to her with a small smile.

"I swear to you Shema I will find a place where beings like you can be accepted. Even if I have to build It." he said seriously. She looked at him sadly.

"That's a lofty goal are you sure you can achieve it?" her lips quivered slightly Alex smiled softly at her.

"Of course it is, I might not know where Shaun is but I will help anyone who needs it. Before the war I saw people kill each other over oil now people are fighting to survive day to day. I don't want to rebuild the world that I was a part of I want to make a better one for everyone. Humanity set the world alight now it is our time to make a world truly worth fighting for. That's the world I want not just for you and me but for everyone" He said seriously.

"Do you really think that it is possible?" she asked him curiously. He chuckled softly before saying.

"Yes I believe that it is possible I will not stop until I have at least made this world a little bit better. In fact I see the bombs that dropped as a type penance for our own stupidity. However I also believe that it is also our redemption. For humanity had succeeded in destroying the world but war, war never changes. And to be honest I think that together you and I can create something that will change the wasteland all it takes is hope and a little courage." He ended his little speech with a smile before becoming serious.

"Now can you fill me in on the happenings? I have been out of the game for quite a while." He said softly.

Shema filled Alex in on the different groups that she knew about the Gunners, minutemen, brotherhood of steel, railroad, raiders, ghouls and super mutants as well as the shadowy institute. She also filled him in on the currency system: bottle caps. He snickered at that he noticed Shema giving him a curious look he told her he used to collect bottle caps and had quite the collection in his safe. By the time they were done talking Codsworth Had come back and gave Alex sixty more ten millimeter ammo, three Stimpacks, seventy five bottle caps and one radaway. He also told them that there were a few safes that were locked that he could not get open. After nodding Alex and Shema stepped into Alex's old house. Alex immediately went into his room and tried to move the bed only to find that the bed was melted onto the floor sighing he turned to Shema before pause and turning back to the bed.

"Hey Shema do you think you can move this bed I have a safe under here." He asked. Shema nodded and walked forward.

"You may want to go out into the hall this is really rusted on and I don't want you getting hurt when I dislodge it from the floor." Shema said. Alex nodded and walked out into the hallway a second later he heard a crash.

"Ok you can come in now it's all clear." Shema said. Alex stepped in and whistled. The remains of the bed were now in splinters.

"Nice job, Shema." He said before he walked up to the safe and knelt down. He put the code in two-one-six and the safe opened to reveal five hundred bottle caps, sixty rounds of forty five caliber ammo and some stimpacks. After putting everything in his army backpack Alex turned back to Shema.

"Well I guess we should get the other safes before we go." He said after receiving a nod the two headed out and Alex picked the locks on the other safes which had a collection of chems. Finally they walked out of the last house that had a safe in it. Alex turned his pip-boy on and looked at the time it was two thirty. He turned to Shema.

"We can either go to concord now or we can wait and go tomorrow what do you want to do?" He asked her.

"I think we should go now and then if we don't find anything or anyone we should come back and set up camp for the night." She advised. Alex nodded his head.

"That's a good idea Shema." He said with a soft smile. The two quickly headed out after crossing the bridge they can upon a dead dog and a dead man. Alex paused for a moment and checked the guy before he looted the guy's body. He took the ammo, stimpacks and jacket off the guy's corpse. After quickly putting it on they continued on. They came across a gas station. Alex heard a pair of feet running towards them and brought his pistol up just as a German Shepard rounded the corner. Still keeping his gun aimed as the dog walked right up to Shema who looked just as confused as he did. Alex slowly lowered his gun while Shema awkwardly pet the dog. Alex chuckled at the scene.

"Looks like man's best friend is also deathclaws best friend." Alex said with mirth in his voice. Shema shot him a playful glare before they both heard something popping out of the ground they snapped their heads around to look at the creatures that had appeared and noticed that it was a pack of mole rats. Quickly raising his pistol and activating his sharingan he mowed the rats down with deadly precision amazing Shema who could not see his eyes change color. Once the last rat was dead he turned his sharingan off and turned back to Shema.

"Do you think that we should take their meat?" he asked her. She nodded her head yes. Once the two were done looting the red rocket gas station they headed off to concord. Once they got to the limits they heard gun fire. Alex raised his hand to signal them to stop before motioning behind a building. He quickly hid behind a pile of rubble with Shema and dog meat right behind him. Alex peaked his head out and after surveying the battle ground Alex made his decision. He noticed a man on the balcony shooting only to retreat back into the building when the fire got to hot.

"Alright, Shema you handle the guys on the left I will deal with the ones on the right." He said after a moment of thought. Shema nodded and got ready to make her attack. Alex popped out of cover and got a head shot on the first raider the other raiders had not noticed he was there as they were making sure to keep the guy on the balcony suppressed to give the other raiders a chance to get in and attack the man from inside. However Alex had other plans he was able to get three more before one of them turned their heads in his direction and screamed "deathclaw!" right before she was shot in the face by Alex. The other raiders snapped their heads around and tried to go after Shema thinking Alex was just a psycho for being that close to a deathclaw. However that ignorance was their downfall as Alex killed at least five more raiders. Now the remaining raiders tried to focus on the two of them now only for Shema to close in enough to rip them to shreds in less than a second. A second later Shema jumped back to avoid a powerful energy beam from the man on the roof. Alex was quite pissed.

"Hey asshole we just saved your ass is that anyway to treat us!?" Alex roared getting the man's attention.

"Sorry I did not know that you could tame deathclaws he is yours right." The man asked stupidly. Shema seethed in rage but before she could do something stupid she felt Alex's hand on her shoulder she turned her eyes to his and winced at the look. His eyes were no longer soft and caring they were now red with three tomes slowly spinning around the pupils. It was like the look alone was not telling her to calm down it was like it was ordering her to calm down. She shivered under his gaze before shaking her head and calming back down.

"Look I am sorry I took a pot shot at your pet but do you think you could help us I got a group of survivors in here and the raiders are trying to break through." The man asked desperately. Alex nodded after a moment of thought and the guy went back inside he turned back to Shema.

"I know that he pissed you off Shema but you need to remember that you will not change minds if you go on a rampage. I am not trying to upset you but please remember humans are ignorant but they can change." He said sagely. Shema sighed but nodded her head causing Alex to smile softly at her.

"Shema could you go loot the bodies… what the hell is dog meat doing?" he asked. Shema was just as confused until she noticed dog meat dropping ammo, stimpacks, and guns at his feet. Alex just stared at the dog before laughing.

"Goddamn I love this dog it's like he can read my mind." Alex said still chuckling before he noticed the guns were all rust to shit. He was about to give up and just take the ammo and stims before he noticed one that looked like a modified sniper rifle. Picking it up he ejected the small drum and checked it over finding it in good condition he grinned before removing the scope and making it into an impromptu combat rifle. The three walked back over to the door as Alex loaded the drum back in the gun. Alex's eyes quickly surveyed the scene and noticed there were two levels of the building. He turned to Shema.

"Do you want to handle the top floor?" he asked her.

"Ya I will deal with the top floor." She said. She was about to jump to the upper section when Alex said.

"Be careful Shema dog meat and I will meet you at the middle." he said pointing at the catwalk in front of them she nodded again before leaping up and began her genocide of the raiders Alex cocked the combat rifle before moving down a corridor. He had his sharingan activated the whole time and made great time. It only took him about five minutes for him to clear out the raiders on the bottom floor and another four to retrieve any loot they were carrying before he moved to the upper section he noticed a locked door at the end of the corridor he was in. He quickly moved to the door and picked the lock easily. He walked into the room and grabbed the fusion core. He moved onto the top level not wanting to keep Shema waiting for them. Upon arriving he noticed a raider who was being held upside down by Shema.

"What are you going to do with him?" Alex asked her curiously.

"I don't know he threw his gun down and surrendered I just did not fell right killing a defenseless man." She said. Alex smiled with a nod before an idea came to mind.

"Could you set him down for a moment?" Alex asked her. She nodded and dropped him making Alex snort in amusement. Alex turned to the man with a blank stare.

"I want you to leave this place and send a message to all your other raiding buddies. If they don't leave we will destroy them." He said coldly. The man nodded fearfully.

"Good now leave before my friend here changes her mind and makes you dinner." Alex said grinning evilly. The raider ran down the stairs and out the doors.

"Do you think that could actually work?" she asked him curiously.

"No but we gave them a chance to leave peacefully if they don't except we will wipe them out." He said flatly before continuing "Did you find any other goodies when you were going through wiping out tough's raiders?" He said. She nodded and handed him a couple of rounds of forty four, thirty rounds of thirty eight and another Stimpack. The two then went down the hallway where the man from before was waiting for them. He walked up to them.

"Thanks for the assist if you hadn't come we wouldn't have probably made it another day." He said shacking Alex's hand.

"Your welcome but it wasn't just me Shema was a big help." Alex said.

"So that's what you named it I was wondering who you were calling Shema out-"he could not finish because Shema had picked him up. She growled dangerously ignoring the other people in the room who had pulled out pipe pistols. However their hands and mouths went slack when they heard her speak.

"Ok first of all I am not an it I am a female two I am not a pet and third I am not some weapon." She said seething at this ignorant human before she dropped him making him grasp for breath.

"I-I am sorry I have never seen an intelligent deathclaw before I did not know they even existed." The man said hoping to keep the peace and his head. Alex nodded before he turned to the man.

"Who are you people?" Alex asked the man.

"My name is Preston I am with the commonwealth minutemen or I am one of if not the last one alive and still loyal." Preston said. Alex nodded before sweeping the room with his eyes.

"This is Sturgis over there is mama murphy Jun Long, Marcy Long." Preston said carelessly motioning to the other people in the room. Alex nodded his head again.

"Alright well do you have any plans for how we are going to get out of here?" Alex asked.

"Well there is really only one option but it involves getting the fusion core from the basement. If you can get that there is a suit of power armor on the roof get that and the mini gun and give those raiders an express ticket to hell you dig?" Sturgis said grinning.

"Alright I already got the fusion core I will go deal with toughs raiders and then we can get the hell out of here." Alex said. Alex was about to walk out of the room when he heard mama Murphy call out to him he turned to her. Once she had his attention she said.

"Watch out kid there is something coming and it's angry." She said vaguely. Alex stared at her blankly before nodding. Normally he would have dismissed something like that but after his feelings before the war he decided to fallow his instincts. Alex was about to make his way to the roof when he turned back to Shema and dog meat.

"Why don't you and dog meat come out of the bottom and I will jump down from the roof." He said. After getting a nod Alex went up to the roof. He walked up to the power armor suit and put the fusion core in the back slot. Once it was powered he entered it and walked up to the mini gun and pulled it right of the vertibird and jumped of the roof. Just as he landed Shema and dog meat walked out of the museum and joined him. Seeing that the raiders where still there he sighed before turning to Shema.

"Could you take the roofs again?" He asked her. She nodded quickly before jumping onto the roof and started slaughtering the raiders. Alex started walking and shooting the mini gun at anything that moved that was human. He could not help but laugh sadistically as he tore through the raiders with ease. Once all the raiders were dead Shema jumped back down and rejoined them. Dog meat was going around grabbing anything he could get his paws on and was bringing them back to his masters.

Bang

Shema and Alex turned their heads and looked at the end of the street to see a deathclaw jump out of the hole and look around. As soon as it saw them it started running toward them.

"Shit!" Alex shouted before bring his mini gun to bear on the wild deathclaw and started unloading into it. Shema quickly picked up a car and threw it at the wild deathclaw that had gotten to close to Alex. Giving a mental thank you to Shema he quickly finished it off. He checked his power armor power and cursed he only had about half an hour before it was out of juice. After collecting all the items dog meat got they moved back into the museum with Shema and dog meat by his side. Once they got in they got in they saw the group waiting for them. Alex walked up to Preston who noticed them and smiled.

"Thank you for your help now we might be able to find some place to settle down now." Preston said shacking Alex hand and handed Alex fifty caps.

"I know it's not much but that's all I can give thanks for your help." Preston said. Alex frowned in the suit.

"I did not do it for the money." Alex said offended that someone could think him so petty. Preston raised his hands in surrender.

"Hey I didn't me to offend you I am just so use to people being in it only for themselves." He said honestly. Alex nodded in understanding.

"So what are you guys going to do now?" he asked Preston curiously.

"Well we have one more place that we hope we can use sanctuary. We would appreciative if you could come with us we need all the help we can get." Preston said. Alex turned to Shema before turning back to Preston.

"Could you give us a moment?" Alex asked Preston. Receiving a nod Alex and Shema walked over to a corner.

"So what do you think should we join them I mean we might be able to make that place I was talking about?" He asked Shema. Shema thought about it before nodding.

"Sure let's give it a try." She said making him smile. He turned back to Preston.

"Ya we will come along as long as you watch your fire around Shema." Alex told him making Preston nod his head in understanding.

"That's great thank you both." Preston said as he turned back to the group.

"Alright everyone get packed up we are moving out." Preston said. Everyone gave tired smiles before standing up and getting their thing together before coming to the door.

And that's a rap I am sorry this took so long to post I have been playing a lot of fallout 4 lately as that is how I get new ideas and plot points for this story.
