With David and Piper,
"So, go ahead and take a seat, this probably won't take long." Piper said, allowing David to sit down on a wooden chair, not to far from the way out.
The news reporter eventually came back with a piece of paper and pencil. "Now, because your Vault friend is distracted with Archie, I'll have to ask you these questions. Sound good, Blue?"
"Blue?"
"Your Vault suit."
"Oh. Hey,What do I get outta this? This interview?"
"Uh, well look. I'll come with you. Help you get used to this world."
"I have Archie for that." David countered.
"Trust me, you'll want me around. I traveled along with him and wow."
"Is he that bad?"
"You're lucky you have that hottie with you. You can tell she ain't from around here. Her looks and body are a dead give away. Along, with her nervous looks and clinging to Archie."
"Oh, she's just clingy because you're around."
"Alright. Start with the questions."
"Ookk. So, you're clearly from a Vault. How would you explain your time on the inside?"
"Hmm, well we were frozen in these pods as soon as we entered the place. So, I can't really explain."
"What? They trapped you in these 'pods' that froze you? The whole time? So, you're basically saying you were alive before the war?"
"Yeah. 232 years old. I couldn't look younger." David cracked, causing the reporter to chuckle.
"W-wow. That's unbelievable. Well, you've spend four days with that psycho, Archie, in the Commonwealth. How does it compare to your old life before the war?"
"Well, it's not in my schedule to save Archie from a Mirelurk or group of bandits. And I'm not used to see two adults, stare at each other like they're teens in high school. But, seeing all these settlements, people struggling to survive. It's pretty amazing on how what people would do to rebuild a home." Piper smiled and nodded, recording what he was saying.
"Wow. Didn't expect that at all. I could quote that. Now, big question. You escaped a Vault, lived out here for four days and came to Diamond City. All because you were looking for someone. Who is it?" David sighed and lowered his head.
"My…my son, Shaun. He was taken from me. He's not even one yet." Piper's scribbling stopped when he finished speaking.
"I'm so sorry. I couldn't even think about what that would do to me. Let alone you. Tell me, do you think the Institute is involved."
"Don't know. If so I will find them."
"For the last part of the interview, I want you to give a direct statement to Diamond City. Some people try to ignore what's going on with others. What would you say to a person who lost they're love one, but is two scared to go after them?"
"You hunt the monster down, and you make them suffer for what they did to them. Simple as that." David growled. He didn't think about it at all.
"Ok, that's enough I think." The two then stood up and stretched. "Thanks for doin' this Blue. I appreciate it."
"Eh, no problem. Now, I gotta find the love bir-"
"Ddaaaavvvviiiiidd! Oh they're you are." Archie shouted after he kicked open the door.
"Never mind." David groaned. Archie dragged Elizabeth inside, who then quickly yelled at the man.
"Elizabeth, Piper. Piper, extremely jealous girl that secretly loves me." Archie introduced the two, with the additional information about Elizabeth relationship with him.
"I hate you sometimes." She sighed before shaking hands with Piper.
"So, Blue, whenever you want to head on out, let me know." Piper said. The trio then walked out of her place.
"So uh, what happened between you two? Intense argument? Intriguing discussion? Another fancy way to say talk?" Archie asked earning a giggle from the resident Vault Girl.
"She interviewed me. Basically, asking what is it like to be a Vault Dweller being outside of a Vault."
"Cool. See, Pretty? You didn't miss much."
"That sounded like fun though." Elizabeth sighed.
"What? More fun than me, how could you!" Archie cried removing his arm from Elizabeth's shoulder and covering his face. Elizabeth jumped and tried to clarify what she meant.
"No no no! I was just saying that it sounded fun!" Elizabeth clarified. A arm around her quickly told her it's ok.
"I knew I was entertaining to you!" Elizabeth sighed in relief as she walked along with Archie, grabbing his hand.
"Archie, where's that Valentine guy? He's the whole reason why we're even here."
"Don't worry, we're actually right here." Archie pointed to a door. Next to the door, there was a sign which read 'Valentine Detective Agency'. "After you, David." David walked in front of the love birds and opened the metal door.
A woman sighed while holding a picture. "Oh, Valentine." The door inside closed and she looked up to see three people, one she knows. "Hello."
"Hi uh, where's Valentine?"
"He's…not here. Kidnapped." David scoffed.
"Huh, great. Where is he?"
"You mean, you'll go looking for him?"
"Yeah. Now where is he?" Archie replied.
"Archie, you know Valentine. He was captured by Skinny Malone." Archie leaned over to Elizabeth ear.
"He's not very 'skinny' too." Elizabeth covered her mouth, giggling but tying to stay semi-serious.
"I'm sorry."
"Anyways, I'll go find him. But, you know me." The woman sighed.
"That's right. I forgot you're…you. Hmm, I don't have much but, is 200 caps good?" Archie gave a thumbs up and the woman smiled. "Thank you Archie."
"No problem. I help people in a asshole way!"
"You know where he is right?"
"I know where Skinny Malone is hidin'. He's always in the subways and stuff. We'll be back before you could say 'Archie is the hottest guy ever'!" Archie then turned to David and Elizabeth. "Sound good guys?"
The Vault Dwellers nodded and left the office. "We should probably stock up on ammo and all that, I got just the thing for me. Pretty, you'll be fine with my pistol right?" She nodded before brushing strands of air out of her face.
"Yeah. I'm not big on shooting people anyways." Archie moved towards her and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Then I'll make sure you'll never have to shoot again ok? I know last time was rough." Elizabeth wrapped her arms around Archie, and he quickly returned the embrace. Elizabeth smiled warmly and nuzzled her head further into Archie's shoulder.
David knocked on Piper's door, and the reporter opened it. "Oh, hey Blue. What's up?"
"I wanna take your offer."
"Alright. Why?"
"We have to find Valentine so he'll help me find my son."
"Ok. Just give me a second to get everything I need." Piper then closed the door.
"You think I'll need this?" Archie asked as he held a suppressed Tommy gun.
"You have a shotgun. What so special about this thing?" Elizabeth wondered.
"Well Pretty, Arturo here made very special rounds for this weapon. Explosive rounds."
"Oooh. However, I don't think we'll need it. That and I don't wanna see someone get obliterated." Archie sighed dramatically and gave the lethal weapon back to Arturo.
"Keep it safe for me, ok?" Arturo nodded and threw the weapon into a special trunk. The trunk had 'Archie's stuff' spray painted on it. "Well, I'll need the general ammo restock. 10mm rounds, shotgun shells and uh…put this old thing away and give me my other shotgun, please?"
"Sure thing. Just give me a minute to find it." Arturo then walked back to the trunk and dug through different weapons. Archie glanced at Elizabeth who had a smirk on her face.
"Like to collect guns?"
"Hey, if you saw what some of these things could do to a person, you'd want it around to." Arturo dropped Archie's shotgun in front of him.
The shotgun was a sight to behold. It was shined to perfection, the steel on it looked brand new. The weapon had a long barrel giving it range and lowering it's spread. The behemoth also had a drum magazine and finally, it's stock looked comfortable and reasonable.
"Wow." Elizabeth whispered.
"Yup. Now, how much does the ammo cost?"
"Uh…350."
"Ugh, you emptying my pockets, Arturo!"
"Please, you have thousands of caps in those pockets of yours." Arturo cracked while grabbing the strange currency and giving Archie his weapons and ammo.
Archie and Elizabeth then waited for David and Piper. "Hey, where's Dogmeat?"
"Oh, yeah. He kinda just disappeared."
"You don't even care for your dog?!"
"Of course I do! He's got a doghouse around the homes. I made it myself."
"I swear-"
"Swear what?" Archie asked in a childish manner.
"I swear that you're the most childish man I've ever known."
"And you love me for it." Elizabeth rolled her eyes and smiled. The wind began to blow and a hazy green filled the air.
"Great. RadStorm."
"Why are they so frequent? It isn't natural weather."
"Well, thanks to the bombings 200 years ago, they added a whole new weather system. RadStorms. Only problem is that they aren't like regular weather, where occasionally it will rain. No, it happens everyday. Sometimes its not a problem and sometimes you'll step outside and burn up."
"Oh." Turning her attention to the footsteps behind her, she frowned when she saw Piper and David.
"You guys ready?" David asked.
"Oh-ho! Piper! You're comin' with us?" Archie asked.
"Yeah. I wanna help you guys. Plus, the whole Skinny Malone situation sounds bad enough." Elizabeth stared at Piper menacingly before moving her hand to Archie's lap.
What the hell? Oh.
"Welp, hope you'll survive my insanity! Let's get goin'!" Archie then whistled loudly. Soon enough, Dogmeat ran over and panted happily at Piper.
"Hey, boy! Did ya miss me?"
She's stealing my dog to!
David, Piper, Elizabeth, Archie and Dogmeat walked out of the jewel of the Commonwealth. "Well, we're currently in a small Radstorm, we need to travel I don't know how many miles, and we need to hurry the hell up."
"Well, where do we go?"
"Skinny Malone's territory is in a fairly far away subway. The man always wanted to stay semi-close to Diamond City. So, if memory serves me right, we have to follow this street." Archie pointed to his left. David and Piper nodded, walking ahead. Leaving Archie and Elizabeth behind.
Elizabeth's grasp on Archie's hand grew tighter as the two would barely catch up with David and Piper. "Hey Pretty, relax. Ok? Just chill." Archie cooed. Elizabeth sighed, letting go of Archie's hand.
"Fine. I'm cool."
The Radstorm had settled and the moon was high. The Vault Dwellers and Wastelanders had reached the entrance to Skinny Malone's subway.
David was ready to find Valentine, but ignoring his sleepyness and the others groaning. "David, let's-Ahhhh. Wait til' tomorrow." Archie yawned.
"What? No, we gotta do this now."
"David, I know you're anxious to find your kid. But of we go in there like we are now, we'll just die. Wait til' tomorrow." Archie reiterated, holding up a dosing Elizabeth. David sighed, and agreed. "Don't worry, We'll save Valentine. If I know anything, I know that Valentine will be just fine. Come on, there's a building across the street that we can rest in."
"Ah…Ok. I'm comin'." David sighed and rubbed his forehead before walking with Archie and Elizabeth. Walking inside the building, the three discovered that it was a rundown office. The third floor was completely destroyed and the stairs leading up to it, we're blocked.
Piper had set up a makeshift camp, lighting a trash bin on fire to make a small safe way for warmth. "Archie, corner." Elizabeth pointed while yawning. The Wastelander nodded and shuffled over to a corner, directly across a Nuka-cola dispenser. Archie slid down the wall and padded the floor next to him.
Elizabeth sat next to him and he grumbled. "No." Archie wrapped his arms around Elizabeth and nuzzled his face into her breasts. The two then fell over and slowly dose off. Elizabeth pulled the perverted idiot closer, before passing out.
"I've never seen a relationship as odd as that one." David yawned.
"Yeah, ah! You shouda' seen him and a girl named Cait."
"Who's Cait?" David asked, getting comfortable on a wall.
"She was this Irish girl Archie met when he came to the Combat Zone one time. The two hit it off, well Archie working his magic swooned her. Mind you, they're version of hitting off was banging."
"What happened to the girl?"
"She got addicted to Psycho and Archie gave up tryin' to get her off it."
"Well, he better not do that to Elizabeth." A sigh from the back of the room was released.
"Nah. I don't think that will happen. Goodnight, David."
"'Night, Piper." David sighed before falling asleep.
Elizabeth slowly stired when something move on her chest. Sleepily opening her eyes, the Vault Girl discovered that Archie was snuggling in her breasts. The woman blushed and continued to stare at him, sleeping softly.
What the-oh yeah.
The Vault Girl hugged the head of Archie before trying to go to sleep again. However, the bosom-snuggling man groaned and opened his eyes. Looking up he saw the warm, semi-tired eyes of Elizabeth. "H-Hey." He said nervously.
"Hi."
"I'm in your boobs aren't I?" Elizabeth giggled and played with Archie's jet black hair.
"Yeah."
"I should probably get off, right?" Elizabeth then pouted.
"But this is so comfortable." Archie then blushed lightly before smiling goofily. He moved his hands out from the Vault Girl's back, moving one to one of her hands while another, to the side of her face.
"Since when were you in to boob-snuggling?" He asked while brushing his thumb over her cheek affectionately.
"Um…a while?" Elizabeth answered confused. Archie chuckled at her response. "Don't laugh at me!" She giggled, locking her fingers with Archie's.
"Can't help it, Pretty."
"You just insist on calling me that don't you?" Archie lifted her chin up hovering over the girl.
"Well, it's true." Archie then leaned to Elizabeth's hand. The Wastelander trapped one of her fingers in his mouth, suckling on the appendage. The brunette blushed, easily embarrassed by Archie's action, yet got small amount of pleasure out of it, sighing and letting out small moans. Archie continued, switching fingers before kissing up her hand and arm, ending up at her smooth neck.
Elizabeth wrapped her arms around Archie's neck, blue eyes meeting hazel ones. The two slowly closed the distance, connecting they're lips. The kiss wasn't overdone or too much, it was soft and long, basic for a first kiss.
Archie broke away, however Elizabeth still had her eyes closed. She then opened them and blushed. "Um…" Elizabeth stammered. Archie chuckled and kissed her again, this one with more fervor. Once again, Archie broke away and ran his thumb over her cheek. "Uh…" Elizabeth stammered again.
"Was that your first kiss?"
"N-no! It's just uh, um…I didn't expect that to be…"
"So awesome? I know, I'm a great kisser." Elizabeth giggled and stood up from the floor.
"I'll say. We should probably wake up David and…Piper." The Wastelander nodded and the two walked out and into the entrance of the small building. Archie, being the pervert that he is, groped Elizabeth's rear before dashing towards David. The Vault Dweller squeaked and jumped for a reaction, cheeks immediately flushing. "D-don't do t-that."
"You like it!"
"Do not!"
"Deny it all you want it will continue!" Elizabeth sighed.
What did I get myself into?
