"Eh? You sure you want to head there? Those Brotherhood of Steel guys give me the creeps. And the Jefferson Memorial Ain't a Memorial no more, its a oversized water purifier."
Asuka said, more confused than anything. While she didn't care as long as she got paid, she was more concerned about the Vault Dweller's curious nature.
"Well I read about it in school and I want to check it out!"
Shinji's rather optimistic nature seemed to be a breath of fresh air for her in this smog filled wasteland.
"All right, but if they say no, don't push them about it, I'm not about to go up against guys in full on power armor and a shit ton of firepower… I got a guy waiting for me back home in Megaton."
"Let's go!"
"Entry denied."
A towering figure in T-45 Power armor stood right in front of the entryway to the inside of the Memorial.
Shinji's face fell, defeated. He genuinely wanted to keep asking the man, but Asuka was right, he definitely didn't want to upset the heavily armed man.
Sighing, Shinji pulled up his Pip-Boy's map and looked around on it.
"I guess I'll find a different place to go…"
As Asuka was about to speak, a gloved hand fell onto Shinji's shoulders, bringing him back to reality.
"The Memorial here is the safer part of DC. Especially since we cleared out the super mutants and Enclave here."
He turned over to see a young man with white hair and red robes smiling at him. He had odd pale skin and pale red eyes. He looked almost like a ghost.
"I'd be more than happy to show you around, granted that you don't touch or steal anything. Or upset anyone…"
The man in the power armor groaned.
"Scribe Nagisa, you can't keep let some random vault dweller and a merc into the Memorial. What would Scribe Rothschild say?"
The man smirked and chuckled.
"I'd say he'd be more than happy for me to give a quick tour! Besides, our relationship with outsiders is rather rocky, it'll be good to fix it."
Neither of them could see it, but the man in the power armor rolled his eyes and stepped aside for them to enter.
"If you mess this up, I'm firing a plasma bolt in all three of your faces…"
The albino simply ignored him and gestured towards the rebuilt metal door.
"I don't believe I've gotten either of your names. Im Kaworu Nagisa, I'm a Scribe for the DC Chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel."
Shinji perked up and smiled.
"Im Shinji Ikari, I'm from Vault 101! I came out to see the capital! I've heard stories about you guys!"
His enthusiasm was rather refreshing for Kaworu, as he also had an optimistic nature. And this was a perfect chance to actually talk to people outside the Brotherhood.
"I'm Asuka Langley, charmed, huh? I'm just paid by him to escort him around and make sure he doesn't get blasted with bullets."
Kaworu chuckled nervously, as he knew that all too well.
"Well, if you want to enter, I'd have to ask that you leave your weapons here with Knight Horace."
He jabs a thumb over at the annoyed man in power armor. Seeing the man's growing impatience, Shinji quickly handed over his rather rare 9mm Pistol he found, and Asuka hesitantly handed over her Chinese Assault Rifle and Plasma Pistol… And her grenades… And her machete… And several other weapons she carried on here at all times.
Sighing, Knight Horace stepped aside and allowed them to pass through unobstructed.
The Scribe smiled and gestured for the two to follow him.
"I'm Kaworu Nagisa, I'll be your Capital Tour Guide!"
Its about fuckin time I made a KawoShin fic!

Hardened Merc Asuka
Curious and naive Vault dweller Shinji

I'm very sorry for the short chapter, I've been struggling to really write anything for a few months.
I promised I'd make it, and I did!
It only took me two months to complete 600 words…
Anyways~
Here you go!
I'll see you all in the next chapter!
