A little bit of gore in this chapter.
[]
Merlin was minding his own business when suddenly he saw a bright flash of light similar to when Nate came to them by accident.
When the light disappeared there stood was a giant green machine holding a large red colored weapon, a android in dark clothing and a machine through this one is a older model in blue. The giant one as he saw suddenly dropped its weapon and removed its head revealing… Nate.
A suit of armor like the knights wear? Through he wondered how the man welded it to his skin. A question for a different time as Merlin made his way down to greet them.
"Nate! I didn't expect a visit so soon after I left. Is this the human you wanted to find?" Merlin looked the man over he was a bit taller then Nate and much more grim looking too. He turned to stare at the beauty in blue through. The paint, mechanical parts she teasing shows to those that would look. Why Merlin would say he was nearly bewitched right then and there.
"May I have the name of such a beautiful machine such as yourself madam?" Merlin asked the blue one as he slightly tilted forward his claw grabbing her own he gently placed his head on it before rising back up. Nate stared in awe at Merlin as he casually put the moves on his friend caught between wanting to watch this unfold and stepping in and breaking this up. Ada didn't understand why the machine that seems to know Nate was being weird, strange programming? Or time merely taking its toll on its circuits?
X6-88 ignored the madness in front of him.
"I'm Ada who are you?"
"I'm Merlin. A shame that Nate didn't talk of me more." Merlin said with false pain.
"No he did, just never said how you looked Nate said you helped him A lot when looking for X6-88."
"And I'm going to need more help Merlin I have a request." Nate cut in not wanting to see this played out in front of him at least not yet. And then he was going to have to explain this to Ada. A very funny conversation that was going to be.
"After what you done? I don't mind at all what is it?"
"A team is being sent here for research purposes wanting to know how the plants and animals behavior in person then reading reports. Any place here that's safe for them? And has to be kind of wide there bringing equipment here."
"More humans? Why of course follow me, let me call some soldiers we need help for the clearing."
The place that Merlin showed them was deeper in the castle itself a large library with rubble in the room, After the soldiers with Nate's help moved the rubble and cleared the space leaving the books untouched X6-88 left to the Institute give them the all clear.
Once the team of four being lead by Samuel Thomas who's team is being escorted by five gen 2's and three Coursers for help and defense the soldiers Merlin called couldn't help but to stare in awe of the strange machines the humans brought with them who looked a mix between man and machine. Through Nate was much more surprise on who also came with them.
"Shaun?" He wasn't the only one to be surprised since the others didn't know he was coming with them not even wearing a suit at that. Shaun smiled as he looked around the room as the others got over their own surprise and started to work.
"I did say Eden is an interesting place father why wouldn't I want to come myself? I already finished my work for the next few hours might as well sate my excitement." Shaun looked at the blood that was left on the ground no doubt from when his father first came here. Runes on the ground yes?
"Well I remember yeah, just didn't expect you come this soon not even wearing a suit like the others." Shaun looked back at his father once he was done looking around the place.
"I see no reason to wear it, I'm a old man it would just slow me down and moving around like this let me experience it all fully." Shaun looked at the moose that was drinking from worn down fountain the animal not caring for the noise they were making. He wondered why did it not see them as a potential threat? He knew animals that have never seen humans would come up to them in curiosity but the moose didn't, might be it simply gotten used to the machines here and the Institute personnel didn't gain its interest.
He wondered how bigger was its predators since the moose certainly seems larger then he remember from the books.
"Tell me father does the moose seem bigger to you?" Nate looked at the moose who has now started to rest on the ground just soaking in on the sun that was hitting it.
"I couldn't tell never really went hunting, just camping mostly." Shaun nodded and the two kept walking making their way towards the library the others were setting up equipment.
"Father how long would it take you to reach this Anemone you talked about?"
"X6-88 and I looked over his map that he kept on him when he first came and decided we just go the same way we both went through. Past the village, the park and the city ruins of course it take us a bit longer to find a way for me since I got the armor and package on me but yeah maybe a few hours."
"Make sure you stay safe father and one more thing we brought with us a relay that let you teleport here at this outpost just look at your pip-boy and you see it."
"Really? Nice don't have to go back and forth in the Institute. Save a bit of time."
"Yes it will. I was also told that in three more days we have charted the whole region letting us teleport anywhere we please be it in the land or sky." Shaun said smiling at the hard work of the men and women who had to chart everything down, work of a saint really.
"Can we teleport to the camp now or is that not down yet?"
"Unfortunately no the ASD spent a lot of time working on the forest and desert while the nearby city ruins was the last on the list."
Nate inwardly groan at that he was honestly hoping he didn't had do all that walking again.
[]
Shaun walked in the forest X9-07 at his side his eyes scanning the green around them for any possible threat even if they were in safe territory of the forest kingdom. Shaun wiped away the sweat on his brow his coat and sweater draped on his arm his respect for his father and courser's who constantly work in the sun has grown even further. It was strange through if the bombs had never dropped he would have always been in the sun and not underground his whole life.
"Wait Father." X9-07 had his arm out and unhooked his Institute laser rifle from his chest and pointed at the person that was leaning on a tree further away from them. She now that Shaun looked at her closely wear strange clothing mostly of leather even in this heat.
Through once she brushed aside some of her short hair from her face he noticed she was not human for dull red eyes glared at him back which he noticed had confusion and recognition in them.
"Nate? You look different asshole." She said harshly as she pushed herself off from the tree through she didn't do anything else besides crossing her arms staring at his face intently her red eyes scanning him up and down.
"Who are you?." X9-07 called out to the woman who glanced at him seeming uninterested at the rifle pointed right at her for she looked back at Shaun.
"So where have you been? Remember what you promised me? I certainly do."
Shaun thought back to the talks he had with his father about Eden and how he killed a android called A2 acquiring the help of Merlin. Also how her head was turned into green goo when he empty a cartridge into her head. Shaun wondered how she could have walked away from that. Shaun gestured to X9-07 to lower his arm hoping that if he seemed less hostile she likewise will stay calm.
"Sorry but I'm not Nate, he's my father and I his son." She walked closer.
"How does that work? You some model based on him or?" the woman who he guessed to be A2 looked at him the confusion more noticeable.
"In a way yes through it is much more complicated then that and requires two people." She nodded in understanding well not really but so long as this Shaun doesn't explain the process that's fine with her. Besides she is looking for Nate.
"Guess that's why you look different, taller, slimmer and not quite as dark in tone?"
"Yes due to my mother's own genetics my skin tone is lighter then my father but darker then my mother the reason for my slimness is more of me not being as active as my father is." Through his height was a surprise to his father saying most of his own family didn't even reach above five-seven same for his mother's side.
The yet named android looked at the other man who was nearly as tall as Shaun himself through wider in build.
"Who is he a android? He looks like a tense guy."
"The man is a courser he's here to protect me on this short walk I'm on. Excuse me but I feel we have gone off track, you are looking for my father yes?"
The android perked up her frown forming into sneer as she spoke.
"Yeah I am where is he?"
"He's currently away to talk to Anemone hoping to make amends with a issue that another courser caused." The woman scoffed and walked back towards the tree leaning on it once she stared at the coat wearing man once more. X9-07 stared right back.
"So he's here to protect you huh? Is he some android or something?" She asked the question again knowing he avoided it on purpose.
"No. He is not an android but a synth gen3 made in the Institute."
"Synth? And that is?"
"A s-"
"You know what doesn't matter."
And then the woman disappeared in a golden swirl of light appearing behind the courser and wrapped her arms around his own her hand reaching to crush the gun as it forced to hit him in the face the two disappeared once more this time the two reappearing in a desert A2 slamming the courser into thick metal pole the size of his head piercing his chest where his heart used to be. For good measure she reached over and jerked on his head backwards it coming off seeing the skin and muscle quickly tear the sound of it tearing and blood splattering everywhere down the man's neck A2 wondered if she did this to Nate it would be so much more satisfying to hear and see.
At least she hope so. Because right now she felt a whole lot of nothing, not even the anger she would feel if she saw a machine. She thought death would be a whole lot of nothing but now look at her. Shaking the blood off her gloved hands she wondered about the other humans she saw. Should she kill them too?
No Nate might not have a connection to them. Shaun on the other hand does said he was the son right? A2 seen animals protect their young when she got bored and just animal watched rare as it was she saw how aggressive they been. Would Nate be the same? A2 pushed the thought aside and decided yes she will kill the rest only to make it certain that Nate understood this was to be taken seriously. She was to be taken seriously. Still she needed to collect Shaun before he could warn the others.
Once more in a swirl of golden light A2 disappeared and grabbed the man from behind who let a yell and once more they were gone.
When the light was gone from his view he saw the place he was at is bare besides some fruit off to the side and a pitcher off water and light coming off from the window further from his reach. Standing up he looked around more. And saw nothing besides what was mentioned before not even a door. Understandable since it seemed A2 can teleport at will.
A2's punch shattered the weak bone of the courser who she appeared behind her attack taking a good amount of his head off leaving the contents of his skull to spill out and something else which she doesn't have time to look over now. Instead she moved away as the other courser turned to aim at her shooting his gun the lasers hitting her form while the others she dodged ignoring the slight pain she felt hitting her.
She hid behind a tree a few more shots were taken at her before she heard nothing. Turning to glance over she saw nothing from the tree no courser. Where did he go? Then she felt heat burning her new skin from behind she turned and saw nothing.
Damn it all were is he? A2 thought when she looked around the place she then had an idea. Blinking her eyes she can suddenly see tracks on the ground. Before she can get to far ahead of herself she was hit again from the side more lasers shots burning her new leather and skin much to her annoyance.
Turning her head the direction the shots came from she charged at the man who backed off seeing as she is now heading right towards him he rolled away leaving a gift in his passing which A2 had the displeasure of stepping on and saw her whole world go green.
The courser stood back up and walked over to the puddle and stared at it with disgust and hate.
"Damn. Now we ha-" before he can continue a arm was plunged through his chest where his lung would be coughing and griping the limb he tried to break but the alloy was far to strong for his fading strength, with a kick behind his knee the courser started to painfully slide out of the Androids arm leaving said arm coated in blood, bone and flesh.
He landed with a wet thud.
With this done A2 turned her eyes to the rest of her targets and made quick work of them slow and cheaply made in her honest opinion, just plain shitty really. The humans were just as soft as the others through much more slow it was funny. Looking around the site she saw a few tables, computer things that looked old as shit and a bunch of dirt and plants in containers everywhere by the moon what the fuck were they doing with all this damn dirt?
Walking over to the computer she tried turning it on but it was such an old shit she couldn't figure it out. Fuck it she do it later. Backtracking to the first courser she killed A2 crouched down to his head and poked around its head and all the flesh in his skull and found something strange. Some kind of component what it did she didn't know. Well looks like she had something to do this wonderful afternoon.
Glancing at the knights and soldiers rushing to the place the humans screams and machines was at she figured she might as well give them some payback for earlier.

X6-88 watched as Nate made his way through the tunnel by simply forcing his way through sending blocks of concert scattering everywhere nearly hitting himself and Ada who stood close to him.
"How the paint job look guys? I spent week getting it right and call me vain I hate to see my work go to waste." Nate asked as he tried to look himself over through it was futile.
X6-88 looked at the paint and thought.
"It could be better Nate but at least it's not worse." X6-88 turned around and kept walking Ada following him with Nate close behind wondering what he meant by that.
"What is it because it's not black or white?"
"Yes."
"The hell do you mean green is the best shit since sliced bread. Ada you agree with me right?"
"Nate I'm painted a sky blue I be lying if I did." The man scoffed at that already feeling more tired then before with his favorite color being trashed like that.
"Whatever."
With that the three kept walking in silence for another hour and a half before they had an encounter of the android kind. The three stopped and looked as three androids fell from the building they were going to pass by wearing a strange skintight suit with armor pieces and a helmet that reminded Nate of the Marines armor and wetsuit. All in black.
One of the them no doubt the leader of this little group of theirs spoke first her voice deep but still feminine.
"You are the human called X6-88 of the Institute?" X6-88 wondered why was he put in the spot on explaining things.
"Courser. And he's Nate the human and leader of this mission direct all questions to him." With that X6-88 walked next to Nate letting the man take the role of interacting with surface dwellers be it man or machine. He noticed the two androids behind the leader one talking in a whisper one much more excited then the other.
Nate stepped closer to the woman who he towered by three feet in his power armor and took his helmet off.
"Hello ma'am I take it you're with yorha? What do the soldiers of the council of humanity want with us." Nate asked with a small smile through he knew this was a good thing maybe they be able to get in contact with the human fraction much sooner.
8B quickly took note of his face thinking he looked as old as the commander but so much more worn was it because he is organic? He had such different skin compared to others and the strange white spots along his cheek and neck. She made to catch every detail of his face before she spoke.
"We were order to watch for any signs of the humans from the Institute and to escort them to Anemone camp and then contact the commander." And with that said the three androids stood straight and saluted.
"Glory to mankind!" three voices spoke in union. Ada looked in curiosity, X6-88 twitched and Nate stared wondering what the brotherhood would have thought of androids doing a similar salute as them. He chuckled inwardly at the thought.
"You don't have to salute to us ma'am were not soldiers just agents nothing more. But still thank you for you're service I know what's it like to fight a persistent enemy."
Snow crunched under his weight as he fell he aimed his shotgun at the man charging him with a knife his gun clicked empty the man was so clo-
"Why don't we keep moving and we talk on the way there yeah?" Nate said quickly but the other three were more focused on what he said.
Thank you. It was the first time a human said such words to them in person and the three made sure to always remember this moment for the world felt just a bit better then it ever did before.
"Oh yeah what's y'all called? You know my and 88 here the blue is Ada and no she's a human built machine so don't do anything funny."
"Hello I'm Ada."
The androids introduce themselves as 8B, 22B and 64B with and their pods numbers 189, 670 and 007 with that done all of them took off Nate saying don't got to fast since he is the slowest one out of them all, 22B timidly asked what he was wearing.
"This here old girl? Why she's a T-51 power armor the best suit the U.S. has ever made before the war started, superior alloys, better built under suit and HUD with a whole bunch of better upgrades. Got anything specific to ask about it 22B?"
"Yes w-what does i-it run on?" 22B timidly asked.
"A fusion core about a foot long and half the width."
"Fusion core? Why is it so big us androids have cores built much more smaller then that does it last longer?"
"I was told it was supposed to last only a century but it's been over two century's so it probably last longer then that, no doubt the people who made it would be very surprise to hear that if they still were kicking."
"What do you mean by still kicking?"
"You know alive? Don't got that saying here?"
"Not that I know of. I haven't heard anyone say it."
"Weird."
The two kept running and talking 22B kept asking about the suit with Nate excitedly answering her questions from how it was made to the first time he got wear one in training and the pain he went to restoring this one with some negative comments on the T-60.
"Damn idiots the lot of them really. Saying the 60 is fucking better then the 51 such bullshit. The 60 is nothing more then the T-45 that's being improved on and by that I mean it was just recycled still has the same shit, same crap and same problems just less frequent and with a new look."
"Why did they improve the 45's and not just make more of the 51's then? The 60's couldn't be that bad if they made more of it."
"It's because the 51's were expensive the cost of one was like three 45's being made an-"
"I'm going to interrupt you Sir but were here at the camp." 8B cut into the conversation while interesting to hear about human made tech they still had a job to do. She looked at 22B who seemed sheepish.
Nate nodded and stopped talking the group passing by the guards who let them through but taking a glance at the three Institute agents. The path similar taking them towards the large tent that no doubt hold Anemone and some of her other officers in it.
"You two wait out here I have to bring the commander on the pod." Nate was excited he get to see the hologram from such a small object.
The four walked into the tent Anemone stood with two others looking at monitor talking about something he couldn't hear he once more removed his helmet. The noise of the removal had the three looking back with Anemone seeing who walked in she order the other five androids in the room to leave besides the two at her side.
"Nate I didn't expect to see you again honestly. A quick introduction of the two with me."
"Hello I'm Ash." The tall man with gray clothing said he had a rifle on his chest.
"Scar." A woman just a bit shorter then Anemone replied half her face had no skin showing the metal underneath.
"I'm Ada." The three looked at the blue machine Ash had moved his hand to grip his rifle while Scar just looked at Ada with curiosity. Nate saw Ash place his hand on the rifle and raised a hand.
"Wait Ash she isn't a alien built machine she's all human made tech no reason to be weary ok?" Ash nodded still looking at Ada and her blue painted metal and single red eye. Anemone looked at the heavy suit of armor he wore and wondered how the hell no one in the tent heard him coming a mile away. Her eyes move to look at X6-88 and they narrowed, if X6-88 was aware of Anemone looking at him he didn't care.
Nate did so he made the first move. Lowering the Gatling gun on the ground he had X6-88 reach over and pull the heavy box from his back who then opened it showing the rifles and ammo inside.
"This here Anemone is the compensation I told you about. Fifteen laser rifles and seven fusion cells each." Nate sighed and explained. "It's not a whole lot compared to the three people you lost but it's all the Institute has, they never were big on weapons rather stay safe and unnoticeable then be loud and flashy. Also under the foam is some schematics and books detailing how to keep the weapons maintain or build some more if needed."
Anemone looked at the rifles and stood in front of it picking one up, slimmer then X6-88 held in hands and a different color the body mostly black and a shade of gray at the "barrel" end of it. Very light. This was more fire power given to them then Army of Humanity ever did in decades. She passed the weapon to Ash who stood next to her looking at the rest.
"Thank you for this it will be put to good use." Nate nodded.
"Excuse me I have the commander calling in."
The people in the tent turned to look at the woman who appeared from the hologram of pod-189 on it was a woman of fair skin and hair with intense blue eyes. Weirdly to Nate she looked like his old elementary school teacher he called mom once, just if she choose to be a soldier then a educator. Looks like he couldn't run from that embarrassment a couple of states away and two hundred years in the future. His mistakes were persistent to catch up with him.
The woman's cold eyes looked at Nate, flicked to X6-88 and lingered on Ada but she said nothing about her presence besides the slightest of the corner of her lips downturn through no one noticed besides X6-88.
"I'm the commander of YoRHa. It's a pleasure to see you have made contact with the resistance members again Nate, X6-88." The woman looked at the other three and gave them a nod in greeting.
"The Institute has a interest in making contact with another organization of humanity, and after the indecent they have brought compensation for Anemone. They want things to go smoothly." The Commander understood what he meant by that.
"Yes no doubt you would like to be in contact with them. But first the council would like to pass a question on the Institute." Here the android paused if for a dramatic effect or to prepare the question only she would say. "Where have you been for all this time?" He voice was still strong but under it was a firm desire of want. For she came to conclusion everything she knew was lie from when she was activated to when she was told of the "truth" she was honestly tired with all this.
"Isn't that the million dollar question? Well I tell you."
The Institute has existed long before the Machine war, when androids were still nothing but the works of science fiction and man ruled the plant. But anyway the Institute was called the Commonwealth of institute of technology before it was shortened to Institute. When the aliens invaded and deployed their killing machines the people of the college went underground and seeing no end to the fighting they used the cryo chambers that were being made underground a military contract that was yet be done with. They didn't believe humanity will win against this far superior foe so they decided they wait for their death's in a sleep for the dead.
Yet their death never came and the survivors of that horror awake two hundred years ago, with no belief on the surface world being safe for humans they dig deeper and worked with old technology survive the harsh conditions of living underground. Only a few decades ago did the Institute start looking on the surface for more resources and encounter dangerous androids did it enforced the belief that the surface was dangerous for man. Until now with the current director of the Institute has approved to establish contact with new information of a council of humanity that is hidden away on the moon.
"I of course only gave a short exploration of the Institute but that's where they been, asleep waiting for a death that never came for them." Nate honestly felt sick for adding the chambers. But the others agreed it might explain their lack of knowledge of current events to the androids.
The commander had this all recorded and was lost on what to do with this. She couldn't actually have them contact the council of humanity with them not being real in the slightest, unless you add what's on the moon. Even then she would what? Introduced them to files that were now less then worthless with real humans out there in the world who wanted to make contact with an organization that's a complete lie? She could only imagine how this would blow up in her face. The thought of YoRHa being used as a scapegoat by the AoH for trying to enforce a lie onto the androids have crossed her mind dozens of time since the information of X6-88 being human has been passed onto her once the whole android body finds the truth. The only sliver lining of that thought was that YoRHa find the humans first. Even then she didn't think it would really fix things unless she did something risky. Very risky to avoided any potential fallout on her soldiers and herself.
"Who is the current director of the Institute Nate?" She looked as Nate smiled at the question.
"His name is Shaun Ramirez my son or some others call him Father." The man said with pride which she can only compared to the soldiers who fought for humanity but even they felt lacking in comparison to the man. Son? And he is the father of the director? While she might not know much on how humans run things on their side she found it a bit strange the father of the director would be out here in the field.
"I would like to arrange a meeting between myself and him if possible to discuss future contact between the Institute and the council, due to current conditions the humans on the moon have not left it for a few thousand years, we would not want to risk potential contamination that would in danger the rest of the population on the lunar base."
"Yes, I tell Shaun about what you said how would we contact you again?"
"I would approve of Captain 8B and her team with an added member to follow you back either to the Institute or any possible surface base built by you."
"That isn't a problem we have base in the forest we take you're soldiers there commander."
With a bit more talking to iron out the details done with the commander cut the transmission saying she had duties to attend too and that the scanner 9S would be over soon. While waiting Nate kept talking to Anemone and her people also explaining things about the Institute and what they would hope to accomplish with getting with the council and future surface missions.
Once the android 9S arrived, Nate was confused with his appearance that deeply bothered him through he knew better then to ask about it. He only shook hands with the kid who looked like he would explode with excitement at the chance to meet with humans the rather large group disappeared in a flash of blue light back to the forest.
Nate felt things were going pretty good.

Ch.8 so what you think? Pitch forks, mobs and people leaving me angry reviews? Well come on I'm ready. Not really please don't hurt me.
Anyway leave a review be it good or bad it's helps me to write this. And this is a fan fiction writing please support the official work.
Undead3- Glad it helped. Yeah fallout tech is shitty unless were talking about weapons then they got some neat stuff under the table.
Jollygoodfellow- Thanks! Yeah so does Nate but he just has to settle for his delusions instead.
Lord of Moons- I saw the video and honestly? That's fucking scary. YoRHa is most certainly using Magic-tech. Institute tech would be child's play for the guy. All well it wouldn't have taken them long to crack it anyway so no real lose for me at least.
[] different times.
Nate looked at the twin androids in front of him seated in a very comfortable chair he loved mind you and kept on staring at them. The one with straight hair started to poke her fingers together now nervous as the first human she met in a thousand some years gave her a dead look, her sister couldn't even look at the man she just kept looking at the floor.
"So basically it's been a thousand plus years since humanity ripped their souls out of their bodies with fucking clones running around who gained a conscience or sentience and you can't combine them because the fuckers outside have a mind of their own? This is everything important right?"
"Well yes Nate that's everything important."
It sounded downright horrid to Nate looks like everything is going to shit here with disease and and the souls of humans going crazy attacking people left and right.
"Can I drink from this?" Nate pointed to the cup on Popola's desk.
"No I get you some wat-"
"No! I get it for you sir I be back quickly!" Devola dashed from the room so fast she pulled the door from its hinges and just kept on going. The two looked at the damage she caused Popola placing her head in her hands and sniffed. Nate was starting to feel numb.
Standing up he placed the door back in its spot and tried to match it up but just wasn't working.
"It's ok Nate I get the smith to work on it later." Nate nodded and sat back down on the chair.
Nate looked at the overly built strongman that walked in and nodded in greeting the older man returned the nod and looked at the stranger taking notice of his strange gear. He started to talk to Popola who answered with pure apathy and gave him a job and some coins with a don't worry about the change.
He said thank you and left.
"That was Nier he's working for his daughter that's sick."
"You mean who's soul is dying right?"
"It's a bit more complicated then that."
"Sure it is." She flinched with his words even through she knew he wasn't judging her it still felt bad. Nate stood back up and clapped his hands once and looked at Popola and told her it was time for him to move on.
"Well looks like it's time to hit the old dusty trail now partner. Hope you come to some kind of solution towards your troubles but it's time for me leave now." Before he could walk out the room Popola quickly made her way around the table and placed both her hands on his shoulders keeping him in place with her robotic strength.
"Wait you just can't leave! I hav- need to introduce you to the other models and androids that a human is here they be so happy! There's more out there to isn't? Please you have to let us met them some androids don't even know how humans even are they just see these fleshbag's walking around an-"
Nate tried to move from his spot but her hands quickly moved to grip his own and pulled them towards her modest chest the grip wasn't going to break bones but he wasn't going to be able to get free from them either. Stay calm.
"And even a few are engaging in rather shameful acts with them which is just sickening i-"
He tried to wiggle his fingers from her hold or jerk on them but just wasn't working he didn't had the strength to get free. Stay calm.
"If you want to engage in such acts I wouldn't mind in the slightest an-"
Ok this just got personal.
"Stop and let go now." Nate said in the same voice he used when ordering lower rank soldiers to stop fucking around and perform their duties. She let go and stood straight.
"You are not a whore don't act like one. Don't ever say that to me again I'm married and will never be interested in you. I'm leaving I might or might not come back, you see in a day."
In a bright blue light Nate disappeared and Popola stared at the ground where he stood. She never saw him again.
When Nate reappeared in the Institute he went to the console and deleted the coordinates of the place he went to by accident it was better that way really no reason to see such a place.
"Hey dad where did you come from?" He turned to his son who was sitting in a chair a book in his hands he couldn't make sense out of even if he tried. He reached over and messed his hair up.
"Didn't I tell you not to wait for me? Anyway I just came back from seeing you're mom. Want to come with me in the morning see her?" The boy smiled.
"Really? Yes I would like that."
"Then come on Shaun let's go to sleep then it's late."
"I don't really feel that tired."
"You say that now but not latter when I have to carry you again."
The father son duo left deeper into the Institute the place he landed in only coming to his thoughts a hand full of times before it was pushed aside with more important matters that came up. He didn't want to deal with such bullshit.
