"Look like the Radio Studio is just a block or so from here, let get moving shall we." Clarified the Vault-Girl as she started walking up on a broken up concrete stairs with Dogmeat right behind her, while John was just a few steps behind them.

But once they got to the top, the trio was greeted with familiar ugly faces of Super Mutants. But before they could even react, somebody else attack first as the two Mutants were showered by a barrage of red beams of light and a spray of bullets and in minutes the last Mutant fell apart as it crumble into a pile of ashes.

Clair were Speechless as she watch the whole scene take place before their eyes, John was more interested of who fired and the weapons they used. Specifically the ones that shot those lasers, a telltale sign of how advance this world was.

They continue further to see their "rescuers" coming into view, they were three of them and all were in gray bulky armor. Only one was wearing a helmet while the other two weren't, a woman with blonde hair pull into a ponytail step up to them with a frown on her face.

"What are you two doing wandering around here, don't you know where you are?" The woman asked looking at the two over and then to their canine companion.

"Of course…we're in Chevy Chase, which is a portion of D.C." Clair answered with a smirk, trying to be a smartass when she said it. "We only came here to get too the Galaxy News Radio Studio." Clair finally explained, then introduce herself to the woman while John was giving their "rescuers" a look over in return, then John quickly notices the woman was now looking up at him.

"Master Chief Petty Officer John-117…ma'am." John spoke giving her a salute, figuring that she was a trained soldier as well as the ranking officer of her group.

"At ease, hm…never seen that kind of armor before." The woman stated before giving John's armor a look over, before introducing herself to them as well. "Sentinel Sarah Lyons, I lead the Lyons Pride of the Brotherhood of Steel."

"I thought those armor look familiar…at least what people had described them to me." Spoke Clair then she quickly asked Sarah if the way they came would take them to GNR Studio and was answered with a nod. Clair makes a big smile and was about to run past her only to be stop by Sarah's held up her hand.

"I can't allow you to go through there, a large group of Super Mutants are hold up there and you'll would just get in our way." Said Sarah as she then explain the reason as to why the Lyons Pride was here the first place.

"Mutants or not I'm going, and nothing you say or do will stop me." Clair replied locking eyes with Sarah, showing that she was serious in what she said and won't back down.

"alright…you and your friend can tag along with us, just try not to get in the way okay." Sarah spoke after finally giving up, then she turn away and started crossing the improvised bridge made of wood planks.

Clair took a deep breath before following the Lyons Pride along with John and Dogmeat, they soon saw two other Brotherhood Soldiers at a turning point. One was taking cover before moving out to shoot down a charging Super Mutant, while the other was lying down on some flatten out cardboard boxes.

Sarah began talking to the one crouching while one of her squad mates name Vargas was looking over the one lying on the ground, John surveyed the area ahead of them and could see a few more Mutants patrolling near the entrance of a broken-up building.

"New recruits?" The crouching soldier asked looking at both Clair and John, whose then welcome them after Sarah explain who they are.

"Vargas…how Jennings?" Sarah asked worryingly as she look over to where he was crouched, who respond with a slow shook of his head before standing up. "Damn it…alright then, everyone on me. Reddin, control bursts."Sarah order as she gave the Initiate some instruction, then rushes out with her Laser Rifle drawn out.

The two Mutants on ground level noticed them charging toward, they all brought up their guns and began firing. John was taking a mental note of how these ones were dressed differently from the first group he fought earlier. One was more heavily armored and another was in black tubing with a flight pilot cap on, this also seem to be carrying a Type 96 Chinese Assault Rifle.

During the fight, Sarah soon notice another one on the second floor using a Hunting Rifle to shoot at them. "Crap!…someone take out that-" Sarah partially shouted before a loud gunshot cut her off and she watch the Super Mutant falling down face first onto the ground after being shot in the chest, Sarah look to her right to see that Clair had took the shot with her new Sniper Rifle that John had given her.

Clair remained crouched as she took down another one attempting to take it fallen comrade place on the second floor, Clair quickly look around for John as Dogmeat was beside her after telling him to stay close to her till she said otherwise.

"John!" Clair shout to the Spartan direction as she saw a Mutant wielding a much bigger hammer known as the Super Sledge approaching behind him, Clair was about to shoot the Charging Mutant before it could attack John.

Only to watch Chief grab the base of Super Mutant's weapon and punch its bottom jaw with a strong uppercut, causing the Super Mutant to let go of its Super Sledge and allowing John to use it against the ugly giant as Chief slammed it on to the left side of it head. Sending the Mutant flying to the right and into a stone wall.

Clair whistle approvingly at John amazing counter-attack, then watch him drop the giant hammer and continue the assault with the Lyons Pride as Clair and Dogmeat soon followed. They fought through more Super Mutant inside the building before getting to the plaza of GNR Studio, where they helped the remaining group of guards in taking care of the remaining Super Mutants. Which didn't last long as the Super Mutant "Master" was the last one to fall, after receiving enough bullets and laser shots.

"Wow! Guess I underestimated you two." Sarah apologetically remarked before giving her team orders to check the area for any more Mutants. Clair had decided to take a look over at some type of launcher, which she believe to be a Fat Man as she continued examining it.

While she was expecting the Fat Man, she was listening to Vargas' and Reddin's conversation and could see what Sarah meant by Reddin being arrogant, she even had to hold back a laugh when Vargas scolded Reddin for carelessly discharging her firearm.

John was looking around the area before seeing a red dot on his Motion-Radar, then look to where Reddin was standing. A roar was soon heard behind the wall of piled up cars followed by loud banging.

"Reddin get out of there, Behemoth!" shouted Vargas and Clair turn around in time to see John running toward Reddin with something in his hand. Everything went in slow-motion as they watch the Spartan throwing Reddin to a safer distant from the cars and leap to where she had landed, while throwing a large egg-shape object into the ground near their feet.

Then a biref flash of light was made before the cars had exploded, sending scraps of metal and rubble flying everywhere. When the smoke and dust had finally cleared, a gigantic Super Mutant was revealed to everyone. Which were well-known to be entitle as Behemoth.

Thankfully, they can't use firearms. Though that only leave with using something like a fire hydrant that was still attach to a long straight pipe as an improvise club. Dogmeat began barking and snarling at the monster till hearing Clair shouting at him to come back, which the dog obediently did after leaping away from the Behemoth swung club.

Sarah and the rest of her Lyons Pride all fire their weapons at the monster, while keeping clear from it club and fist. Sarah soon notice Clair shouldering her newly acquired Fat Man and took aimed at the Behemoth. "Get clear!" Sarah cried out as everyone moved away from the blast zone, while desperately trying to keep the Behemoth at one spot.

Clair turn on her V.A.T.S. and zoomed in on the Behemoth's head before pulling the trigger, launching the loaded Mini-Nuke into the air. The Mini-Nuke propel itself in an arched trajectory as it soon collided on to the Mutant's face, then exploded instantly from the impact creating a miniature mushroom cloud.

When the dust and smoke had cleared, the Behemoth was still standing with its face and upper body burnt from the blast. But from the way it was struggling to stay standing, shows that the blast did it job as the Behemoth soon fell facedown on the ground as it causes a puff of dirt and dust from the landing. Few of the Brotherhood Soldiers were about to cheer till they remember what happen just a moment ago, then watched Vargas and Clair shouting two names.

"John!…Reddin!" the two of them shouted, while looking around through the rubble for several minutes before Clair notice Dogmeat sniffing at a mound of dirt. Then started digging into it before having to backed up and bark excitedly as they soon watch the dirt pile moving, till a tall green figure rose from the dirt mound as the dirt crumble away.

"John!" Clair shouted and was about to run to her friend before seeing the Spartan pulling someone else out from the dirt, which Vargas soon shouted the name of the second person after recognizing who it was.

"And Reddin!" Vargas added with the same amount of joy, then the two run over to them as Sarah lean back against the wall behind her sighing in relief that they're both alive.

"Reddin, you're alive!" Vargas yelled happily watching her brushing the dirt off her armor, while John does the same with his own.

"H-how you guys survived and what was that light we saw before the explosion?" Clair asked curiously, trying hard to keep herself from crying and hugging her friend.

John reach down and pick up a black egg-shape object from the ground, before giving them their answer on the subject. "With this…it create a barrier stronger than the shield my armor emits, I'm just glad it lasted long enough to save us from both blasts." John finish looking at Clair as if he knew that she caused the second explosion.

"Hey Big Guy, thank for saving my ass back there. Remind me that I owe you a cold bottle of beer or Nuka-Cola if you're not a drinker." Said Reddin thanking John who gave her a nod and a pat on the shoulder, before she headed toward the studio while looking for her Assault Rifle along the way.

Clair went over where she had drop the Fat Man and picked it up, then she too started heading into the studio till she stop and whistle for Dogmeat to follow her inside, John was about to join them before Vargas lightly grasped his shoulder before speaking.

"Thank for keeping her safe John," Vargas thanked him as John he patted Vargas' shoulder as well.

"you're welcome, she not that bad for a soldier…once you look past the rough spots of course." Chief replied before heading to GNR Studio, Vargas walking along beside him with Reddin's gun.

:-:A few minutes later within GNR Studio:-:

John was waiting down stairs with Dogmeat for Clair to return from speaking with Three Dog, Chief had thought of talking to the man as well. But from what he seen on the way here, he might not need to quite yet.

Hey John…can I talk to you for a bit?" Sarah asked while waving him over, which he soon did as Chief walked over to where she was. Sarah first started off with thanking him for saving Reddin earlier, then moving on to the main reason of why she called him over. "John…I'm not sure how to asked this but, after seeing you fight, both me and Vargas been talking it over. How would you like to join the Brotherhood of Steel." Sarah offered before raising a hand to keep John from speaking. "Such think about it before you decide okay, I still need to do discuss it with the Elder about it first anyways, by the way…could we have that thing you used earlier…if it not a bother of course." Sarah asked after speaking and then having to quickly catch the egg-shape device with both hands after John had toss it to her, then started heading back to where he was a moment ago.

"It doesn't work after being used and as for your offer, I'll think about it." John finish after telling her he'll think on the offer, then he leaned back on the wall next to Dogmeat. Whose started rubbing his nose into the palm of John's hand, coursing John to pet the Dogmeat's head softly as the dog was soon panting happily.

After some time passed Dogmeat look over towards the stairs that Clair had took earlier, whose was now walking down them as she soon greeted by Dogmeat as he give her a quick lick to the face afterbracing his front paws on her lap.

"So what he had to say?" John asked as he watch Dogmeat slobber her face, trying hard to ignore Cortana lughing internally within the armor.

"Well…he asked me to do something for him first, but I'll explain it to you in the morning because I'm beat." Clair answer before she start to stretch out her arms while loudly yawning to prove her point, then jump in fright after hearing Sarah tapping her shoulder.

"Sorry, didn't mean to spook you. Overheard what you said, we have a few extra matresses you can use." Sarah explained after she apologies for startling Clair.

"Oh it fine and thank you." Clair spoke as she lightly wave it off, then followed Sarah with John and Dogmeat behind her as they retrieved the mentioned beds. Then set them in one vacant corner as the tire trio soon took their well deserved sleep, needing the strength for tomorrow.
