She shot her last shot with her Hunting Rifle. It did hit the Mutie in the head. But, unlike what she hoped, the Mutant didn't fall dead. Tough assholes.
"How am i going to kill it now?"
Before she could start thinking about that, though, she had to worry about dodging an angry Mutant's Super Sledge. She quickly rolled to the left, effectively dodging the swing. She grabbed her Combat Knife, and before the enemy could react, she dealt a cut on the Mutant's arm. He laughed, barely feeling the cut "You will need more than that" he yelled, feeling victorious already. And so he swung his Sledge as fast as he could. Too fast for the Vaultie to be able to dodge. She was thrown into the ground as she felt a crack in her ribs and a heavy pain take over. She landed over a dead Mutie. Desperately, she looked for something to defend herself.
Happily, she found just what she needed, or something close to that. A sawed off shotgun. Not her favourite gun, but it would have to do. She grabbed it and looked up, to see a Super Sledge directed towards her face.
She barely dodged it, and when the Mutant raised the Sledge for a downwards swing, she shoved the Shotgun against his chest and pressed the trigger. And heard heard the hammer hit 2 spent shells.
"Fuck me"
She said, observing the shotgun not fire.
Then it popped in her mind. The mine limit.
The mine limit was the backup plan the Wanderer had adopted after too many knife fights. Before any engagement, lay down a safety line of mines in case things get dangerous. If a fight goes the wrong way, run towards the mine limit. Any pursuers still chasing you will end up with more holes in them than Swiss cheese
And so, because her life did depend on it, she ran like the wind. And, as expected, the Mutie followed. And when she jumped over the mine limit and ducked, she just hoped this would be enough to put the fucker down.
And then BAMM! When she looked back, she saw a leg-less Mutie.
Finally, the last Super mutant was killed. She just sighed. At least now she could sleep a bit while her Dad and the rest of the scientists worked on the Project. While she did have an interest, like her Dad, in science and how this would work, right now she just wanted to sleep.
And so she, covered up in blood, both her's and the Super Mutants', opened up the Memorial's door, and yelled "It's clear".
When James looked at her, his jaw dropped. She didn't see her Vault 101 daughter, created in the safest place he could find, innocent as a flower. No, like flowers, that didn't exist anymore. In front of her was a battered child, covered in blood and guts, but also a dangerous person, the kind of girl you don't make a witty comment to, out of fear that she will break your thumb in 3 different places. "What had happened to her?" he thought to himself. "You, you happened, when you left her to go repair your hopeless dream".
