Eventually, Genesis just felt like she had to go her own way and she did it without telling anyone about it. She just needed some time to herself and well, she got it by arriving at Arefu.
She knew most of the townsfolk there and Karen greeted the young woman rather happily because she remembered the Lone Wanderer helping them out years before without any payment being asked for.
She told her more stories of the Lone wanderer from Vault 101 and how she saved everyone from the Family who were vampires and had sent one of their own to defend the town from further troubles and Genesis smiled as she said more or less to herself, "I'll be damned if anyone else had been getting these stories for further generations to read," when she felt sick to her stomach.
She knew that she had to get some to Megaton and see what has happening there and well, it was in chaos when she arrived. There were dead assassin s looking for the girl and one of the settlers saw her coming through the gates.
She said, "Genesis, your father was injured and well, Doc Church is tending to him right now." after getting to the clinic, Doc Church told her the extent of Jericho's injuries."None of them are life threatening thank God, but he did take a large amount of damage to his left leg and will be needing to be off of it a few days till it fully heals up. Think you can manage that part of it Genesis?"
She nodded and said in reply,"I do hope so Doc Church, because he is my father." So, later on that night, she had gotten Jericho home and settled when she shifted her weight and said, "Papa, I know that I was supposed to mention that I was needing time to myself but I didn't and disappeared from home for a while. So, I headed to Arefu when I felt like something was wrong here."
Jericho knew how his daughter felt bad and said,"To tell you the truth honey, I should've kept an eye out for that fucker because he mentioned you from over 17 years ago as a toddler of 2 or 3."
"That's odd because I've never seen him before papa," she murmured. "But, what was his name? Was it either Matthew or Matthias?" she kept musing till bedtime and yet, no earlier memories came to the young scribe. Save for visions in her dreams.
