Chapter 1: Uncertain Events and New arrival

The sun was starting to set over the irradiated, hard ground of the Capital Wastelands and as it did many of its wild inhabitants were either going back to whatever burrow or crevice that they could find or if they were the big monsters of the night like Deathclaws. Then they would be preparing to go out hunting looking for any poor creature or wastelander that was unfortunate enough to cross paths with the mighty apex predators of the wastes. Inside the ruins of Washington D.C., a lone figure could be seen walking through as the moon began to rise high above the godforsaken land. Now normally the thought of anyone in the D.C. ruins at nighttime you just expect them to either want to die or they are desperate for supplies, but this was neither.

The figure was a man covered in skin tight suit head to toe with the head being covered by a unique helmet with an orange visor, on his back was an ornate sword used by pre-war a Chinese officer named Jingwei during the great war. Strapped to his right hip was a sturdy magnum painted black with a scope attached to the top and in his hands, was a black, silenced assault rifle with a scope on it as well and on his left wrist was what looked like a small, portable computer whose screen glowed a pale green. This was the Lone Wanderer, Kid 101, the Vault Dweller, the Wasteland Messiah, ect and beside him was his trusty companion Dogmeat. The wasteland duo has built a name for themselves ever since the Wanderer's journey to look for a lost father that turned into something much, much bigger, but tonight they were going to be in one hell of an adventure.

"Dammit, guess nighttime came faster than I hoped" Liam swore. Liam and Dogmeat had originally went into the city ruins to look for and/or scavenge for pre-war tech for the Brotherhood of Steel and while they had found a lot of pre-war data and sensor modules for Liberty Prime they still encountered some super mutants and Enclave remnants that were still putting up a fight even though Liam and Fawkes blew up their home base. The thought of the Enclave left a bad taste in Liam's mouth, after what happened at the Jefferson memorial Liam felt many emotions. Sorrow was one them, the loss of his father cracked and nearly broke Liam completely as he watched the man who raised him, who loved him as much as a father could die right in front of him in hopes of giving Liam and Doctor Li some time to escape. The other emotion, anger, pure unbridled fury to all who was Enclave, during the escape through the sewers Liam took out all his hate and anguish on the Enclave personnel that tried to stop and kill Liam and the science team.

Liam shook his head to clear his head of painful experience as he heard Dogmeat give a low growl. He looked in the same direction of his canine partner to see a bright light illuminate from a nearby hospital before quickly dying down. "Well that's something you don't see every day, probably another alien beacon if I had to guess. What do you think boy?" Dogmeat looked up before he looked back to the ruined hospital and ran towards it almost as if he smelled something worth the risk. Liam shook his head before following close behind.

'Hmm looks like we might have to spend the night here I'll have to block the exit after we get in, don't want anything coming in here while we're busy.' While it is true that super mutants are one of the main threats in the ruins at night packs upon packs of feral ghouls have been coming out to roam the surface quite frequently as of late. This had made trips into the ruins much more difficult for traders, mutants, mercs, ect. Liam saw them as an annoyance but he could use the suits stealth field to slip right by them, however tonight was different with Dogmeat coming with him as tough as the dog was he couldn't take on throngs of ferals, hell not even super mutants stood a chance. Once Liam caught to Dogmeat he checked the door to see if there were any pressure plates or tripwires that could set off real nasty traps. Once that was done Liam opened the door slowly to check if there was any raiders or creatures inside or mines that could blow his legs off. Needless to say, he was very happy and relieved to see the waiting area empty. Liam opened the door the rest of the way to let Dogmeat through before he turned around and closed the door, he looked to find the lock was intact and proceeded to lock the door.

Liam turned to look around and saw Dogmeat sniffing around the ground before darting off to one of the stairwells before chasing after him. Along the way Liam scavenged as many supplies as he could ranging from stim packs to anti-biotics as well as a few crutches here and there. Liam couldn't help but wonder how this place kept so much supplies, he thought for sure that raiders or Talon Company would've picked it clean but to his surprise there had been no sign of anyone being here before him and Dogmeat. Speaking of the lovable mutt, Liam was able catch up to him on the third floor sitting in front of a doorway which led to a room at the end of one of the long hallways. When Liam walked in he was surprised to see a young boy just lying in the center of the room, he immediately ran over to the boy's side, and checked his pulse.

*THUMP THUMP*

"Still alive thank god" Liam sighed relieved that the child was still alive and breathing and not another corpse for the wastes to claim. Liam took a closer look at the boy, he looked around to be eleven or twelve years of age, he was a bit pale, his face had a bit of freckles on it, and his front teeth looked a little chipped. The kid's clothes were interesting, he wore an orange polo shirt and some comfy looking blue jeans with a pair of sneakers, but the one thing Liam kept in account was how clean they were, they looked like he has never been in wastes. Besides the clothes cleanliness the kid's hair was probably the most interesting part, it was pure white with no sign of dirt or grime which could be considered a rarity to find in the Wasteland. Liam also saw a strange device laying not too far from the boy, it was made of shining chrome like metal and was made into the shape of a tv remote with a bunch of buttons and a calculator screen at the top.

'Wonder what this piece of tech can do and why this boy has his hands on it' it wasn't every day that tech like this just turns up in the wasteland, and its even more unlikely that a kid should have it. Liam dematerialized the object into his Pip-boy before gently picking up the boy and carrying him to one of the remaining hospital beds and laying him down and covering him up with a spare blanket he had on him. "Well Dogmeat we're going to be staying the night here, you stay here and watch the kid while I go search for some supplies and place some sound traps to alert us of any unwanted visitors" the canine gave a loyal bark before going over to the bed and sat guard. Liam shook his head while rolling his eyes and going off to set up the traps, he would have to give the kid a checkup to see if he was sick or wounded. 'Thank god for dear old dad for teaching me.'

Lincoln woke up with a massive headache and stiff limbs accompanied by a sore back, needless to say it wasn't the best way to wake up. He took his time to get up and look at his surroundings, he noticed that he wasn't home but in some run-down building. Why? It was then that all the memories of what happened this morning came flooding back like a tidal wave sweeping over a defenseless beach.

9:00 AM

Loud House

Year: 2017

Lincoln woke up to the sounds of yelling and screaming coming from downstairs. Even more strange he saw that his sisters Lisa and Lily were in his room, Lisa tampering with a device while Lily was playing with her rattle on his bed.

"Lisa? Lily? What are you guys doing in my bed?" he asked with a yawn.

Lisa looked up from her tinkering with her usual emotionless expression "Sister fight protocol had been initiated due to conflict between our five elder siblings as well as the twins, but it has been compromised due to most of our siblings involved and our parental units are gone at the moment so Lily and I have chosen to seek refuge in your personal quarters until the crisis can be calmed."

"Okay, but what about Lucy? Where is she then?"

"Best hypothesis would be the attic, but I have no doubt that she will seek refuge here as well once the fighting spreads into her domain." Lisa went back to work on the device at Lincoln's table while Lily crawled over to Lincoln and atop his head with rattle in hand.

"Poo-poo hehehe" Lincoln gave a small smile before he took Lily off his head and placed her back on the bed. He went under the bed and dug out a small box, inside the box were some toys he kept for Lily in case she needed to stay in his room to keep an eye on her or in this case Sister fight protocol. Lincoln gave her the box so she could play with the toys while he went over to Lisa, he was quite curious as to what his genius sister was working on. However, before he could speak his door opened revealing his older sister Lynn before she walks in and slams the door.

"Whoa Lynn where's the fire?" Lincoln asked as he backed away from his seemingly enraged sports loving sister.

"Everyone downstairs are complete idiots!" Lynn yelled before walking over and sitting on Lincoln's bed with what could be assumed as steam coming out of her nose.

"Okay Lynn just calm down and tell me what happened, there's no need to go ballistic." Lynn just sat there mumbling to herself with a look of anger still on her face.

Before Lincoln could question her further his door opened again with his sister Luna coming in this time. "Hey bro you wouldn't mind if-" she stopped when she saw Lynn giving her a glare.

"What are YOU doing here!" they both shouted in unison.

"I'm here to ask Lincoln if I could chill in his room while everyone else was fighting over the vanzilla" Luna stated while looking at Lynn.

"Yeah? Well I was here first so you can buzz off!" Lynn yelled not letting up.

"Oh yeah? Make me!" and that was when Lynn lunged at Luna and tackled her, unfortunately this made them knock Lisa over dropping her device by Lincoln's feet. When it landed it started to glow and fizzle before a bright flash blinded everyone in the room. When it died out the device and Lincoln were gone.

6:45 AM

Capital Wasteland

Year: 2277

Lincoln couldn't believe it that device, whatever it was, had sent him somewhere but where he had no idea. His thoughts were further interrupted by the sounds of footsteps coming from the doorway that led to what he assumed was a hallway. Lincoln panicked and looked around for anything he could use to hide or defend himself, he quickly spotted a crutch laying by the bed he was in. He took it and hid right behind a flipped over table and waited. He heard what sounded like a dog walking along with the footsteps before hearing a smooth male voice.

"Alright alight calm down Dogmeat I get it the kid is awake but there's no need to get over excited" Lincoln held his breath when he heard whoever it was enter the room. He looked over to see a silhouette of the owner of the voice. "Hey where's the kid?" Lincoln chose this moment to strike, he ran out from behind his hiding spot and hit the figure straight in the head with all his might which unfortunately broke his weapon.

"OW, what the fuck!?"

The figure didn't go down but when Lincoln heard growling he turned to see a very big dog snarling at him. He turned right back around to meet the man who he just hit with a crutch and his heart almost stopped, rubbing his head was a man in what could be described in Lincoln's words a 'super suit' armed with a sword and a few guns Lincoln also saw what looked like a mini-computer on his left wrist. When the man looked at Lincoln he could feel the man glaring at him through the large orange visor.

"Boy, you're in a heap of shit" Lincoln's only response was to gulp.

Welp finally done with the first chapter and I must say I'm liking it so far. If you guys have any ideas for adventures Lincoln and Liam to partake in tell me in the comments. I am having the story take place a month after the end of Broken Steel just so you guys aren't confused. Also there will be pairings but I'll let you guys brainstorm in the comments, Liam is 19 and Lincoln is 12 in this so nothing ridiculous.
