2 - These fuckers have my girl, I'm gonna kill them

After an easy ten hour long trek of Nate taking multiple detours to avoid coming across anyone else with no extra surprises Nate hiked up the short hill towards the cottage, it still needed a lot of work to be a good home but it would do for now. Turning towards the claw he smiled, "This is home girl, let's see what Cait has cooking. When we get the eggs settled I'll show you where other deathclaws bring their Yao Guai kills." As he got closer to the house he called out, "Cait, you in there babe?" Silence answered him then, "FUCKIN' CHRIST NATE, GET DOWN THERES A CLAW BEHIND YOUR ASS!" "Don't shoot! I made a friend, and I've got some serious explaining to do about this. Drop the gun and come help me." "You sure that thing is tame enough to trust Nate?" She asked while tossing the gun away inside as she stepped out, the claw growled in Caits direction which forced Nate to snarl back at it.

'As long as I maintain that I am alpha I should be able to keep her calm, but fuck, the egg thing is still fucking with me.' Eyeing the claw carefully Cait came closer to Nate, "Cait I need you to take this, hold it as if it was your own child I need to get my pack off and work on that hole next to the house." Shaking her head Cait did as asked, "I have a strange feelin that I don't wanna know why you've got a claw egg or why your gonna make this thing comfortable here," she said as she cradled the egg close to her chest. "You're probably right on that one Cait, make sure the pack doesn't get messed up, the other two are in there as well, but I'm gonna explain anyway." Eyes practically bugging out of her skull Cait grabbing the pack and pulled it away from where Nate was digging on the massive hole at the cottage, making it bigger for the claw and the nest to fit in while ultimately making sure the house wouldn't cave in on top of them.

While he dug, Cait couldn't help but get aroused watching him bend over as he worked imagining how his muscles were flexing and rolling under his skin and armor then imagining his body doing that while on top of her, buried inside of her. These thoughts made her bite her lip as she felt how soaking wet they made her but unsure if he had the same kind of feelings for her that she had for him, especially with all the cuddling they did with each other. 'Tonight I'll tell him, after he tells me what the fuck is going on,' feeling her skin begin to crawl Cait carefully turned to the claw and saw it staring daggers into her soul, "Nate, this thing is starting to creep me the fuck out, it's giving me a murder stare," she called out in a worried tone "I'm almost done thirty more seconds." He replied making a small dirt pile near the back wall, once he finished he could see the sweat pouring off of Cait as she tried her best to stay still and not drop the egg, carefully coming to her side he gently put a dirty hand on her shoulder, "I'll grab the bag, follow me."

Picking up the bag Nate took it into the hole followed by Cait then the claw. Once in the smallish cave he knelt by the dirt pile with the bag, using his hands he carefully made indentions for the eggs to rest. Seeing this Cait began to move to place her egg down, "Wait, let me get these two placed then you place that one, she might warm up to you a little more, realize you aren't a threat," Cait nodded then stood to the side so the claw could watch them better. Gently unwrapping the first egg Nate lifted it from his bag and placed it in the dirt, making sure it wouldn't roll anywhere, he pulled out the next egg. Placing it down Nate began to pull dirt up to both eggs to keep them tight together and keep them from rolling, "Come'mere Cait, carefully kneel down next to me and put the egg with the others," Nate whispered.

Picking her footing with care, Cait stood close to Nate as she whispered, "I need your help Nate, I might fall over I'm so terrified," "I've got you, trust me?" She gave a quick nod and slowly got to her knees, Nate's hand going to her back and her hands in the front with the egg, with even greater care she placed the egg with the others, holding it still while Nate pulled dirt closer to keep them all steady. Once secure both Nate and Cait began to sprinkle a lose layer of dirt to keep the eggs dry and warm. Nate's face still pale under his deathclaw helmet as he pulled Cait to his body as they both got up and backed away from the eggs for the deathclaw to inspect. Sliding along the back wall they quickly made their way outside the small cave, Cait looked at him and outright demanded "You wanna tell me what the fuck is goin on now Nate? Why we just buried those deathclaws eggs, and why it seems to obey you like you're one of its own?"

"In the house," Nate hissed with urgency, "not out here, move it," making their way to the house Nate couldn't seem to be able to get in fast enough as he tripped upon crossing the threshold, once the door had closed he pulled himself into the closest corner, almost instantly Cait was kneeling next to him sensing something was wrong she placed a hand on his shoulder and held his hands with the other, "What's wrong love? I want to help you, if I can." Raising his head up he looked Cait dead in the eye, "I fucked the deathclaw," his voice was dead serious and she knew it, "What's with the eggs then?" The color still drained from his face, "I was bringing her back here to be a pet, maybe have fun with all three of us, we walked for an hour before she laid them."

Leaning forward Cait took his deathclaw helmet off and pressed her lips to his forehead, then climbed into his lap, "My only hope is that all three are duds, and that maybe she won't notice when I haul them off, maybe sell them to Wellingham back in diamond city or leave them at that other deathclaw nest in Lynn Woods," he whispered wrapping his arms around Cait's thin waist his face pressed into the back of her collarbone. He then told her of the prank they played on the idiot raiders and the looks on their faces as he brought the claw closer, their fear was always fun to others, Cait had a good laugh for that. When Nate finished his tale Cait asked "Why'd you decide to fuck that thing anyway? I still don't get that part," this caused Nate to blush, "I was rock hard and thinking of where to bury my bone when I found the deathclaw injured and in heat, I wanted to make love to you but I didn't wanna seem like an ass by asking. I wanted to go slow with you cause I really do love you... Damnit, this is definitely not how I wanted to confess either." "Oh thank god, I thought it was just me," she murmured before snaking an arm around his neck and bringing his lips to hers, "I love you too Nate, I wanted to tell you before you went off on your little trek a few days ago."

Smiles were present on both Nate and Cait's faces at this point as they began to gently kiss again, the scent of their arousal beginning to permeating the room. Nate's large hand cradled Cait's face softly as he began to unfasten his armor again, Cait helping release armor wherever she could reach as they stayed seated on the floor. Suddenly a loud huffing was heard outside followed by heavy footsteps, Nate groaned, "I gotta deal with the claw, who knows what it wants, but I'll show it where the dead Yao Guai bodies are, it could be hungry, and it might leave us alone for a while." He nibbled on Cait's neck and shoulder as he said this, "I don't want to leave now that we've started but I gotta get us some privacy," Cait nodded with a moan, "Do what you need I'll wait right here. Though if you end up doing the claw again, I want in." "Yes ma'am," Nate replied with a smirk, before standing tall some of his armor hanging loose he grabbed his helmet, "I'm gonna throw my armor off in front of this thing, just to make sure it knows I'm not a claw, but I'm still her alpha."

Opening the door Nate saw his claw looking for food, "Come here girl," he called, she turned to his voice and stomped over. Huffing she bucked her head into his chest, causing him to smile and start petting her face scales, an idea went off in his head, "Cait come here for a sec, pet her scales she might like that, be a little more friendly to you." Cait closed the distance between them and did as suggested, the claw really did seem to enjoy Cait's softer touch compared to Nate's rougher touch, causing the claw to purr louder. Taking his hand off the claw Nate began to take his armor off and drop it where he stood, "I'll put those on the rack while you two are gone, need me to bring your bag up here?" Cait asked as she cuddled the deathclaws head close to her body both seeming to enjoy each other's company more now, "Yes please, I got some more hides while I was gone, I need to start messing with them so I can make you a set, I got some more glowing claw hide to finish your set off and albino claw hide to start an extra set, I think I found a savage but who knows."

Dropping his chest piece last he walked over to Cait and their claw, kissing her gently on the lips, "I'll be back, I promise," he whispered softly. "Come on girl, let's go," he said aloud as he beckoned the claw to follow him as he walked north towards a ditch filled with half eaten fresh Yao Guai bodies. The claw was excited at all the food he presented her with and immediately began to eat her fill, "I'll be back at the house girl, come back when your done, ok?" He slowly began to walk backwards towards the cottage making sure she didn't try to attack, she was still a wild animal, 'A wild animal I just fucked,' he thought. When he was sure she wouldn't attack he turned and jogged back to Cait, his vault suit tightening up again imagining how her body would feel under his, how she would feel as she took his length, the sounds she would make as they joined, if she would want his seed inside her or not.

By the time he made it to the front door of their home the suits zipper was straining to stay closed as his body pushed against it. But seeing blood on the porch made him soften, 'That hadn't been there before,' and he hadn't heard any gunshots as he left or came back. "Cait," he whispered in fear, 'I have to find her, have to make sure she's ok,' he went under the stairs of the porch where both he and Cait agreed a weapon should be hidden as a precaution. Grabbing his machine gun and the tarp it was wrapped in Nate pulled it out, checking the magazine was still loaded before going to his hidden ladder to the roof trap door, only he and Cait knew about it and made sure it couldn't be found from inside or outside the house. Gently opening the door Nate looked in making sure light didn't flood inside yet, seeing nothing but a freshly trashed interior Nate opened the door wider before slipping inside pulling the door shut quietly. Hearing muffled voices made Nate stop and listen, "Stupid bitch didn't even hear us sneak up behind her, good thing that deathclaw isn't here anymore no one would be crazy enough to make their home on a live deathclaw nest."

Nate saw red and growled, 'Raiders! They had Cait and were in our home, I knew I should have finished the house wall and defenses.' "What are we gonna do with the broad Slim? She looks like she'd be a good squeeze for the boys." "Eh, I'll allow it, but everyone shares while she's awake and alive or no one is getting any ass for the next year." Nate's blood froze, 'I'm not going to let them touch her. She's mine,' stashing the gun, Nate drew his knife that was a gift from that Pickman dude, 'I will make them suffer painfully, and I will enjoy it.' Quiet as he could Nate began to go through his home room by room, killing raiders quietly and bloodily, showering in the blood as they died in quiet agony. The last room he came to had Cait tied up on the floor still unconscious but slowly stirring as the raiders stood around her undressing, Nate made a mental note of their armor, 'Same as the idiots from earlier, where the hell have I seen that armor before?' Nate then placed his eyes on Cait, making sure she wasn't too badly hurt. Thankfully all he could see was a few small cuts from the bindings, but the blood on her head had him worried, 'That must be how they surprised her, they knocked her in the back of the head.'

Eyeing his surroundings more as he continued to listen to the raiders loud voices he spotted his pack, his gauntlet still attached to it and his armor hidden in a corner. 'If I'm gonna kill them, I'm gonna do it right, I'm gonna make them afraid of this home and the deathclaw that lives here.' Stealthily making his way to his pack he glanced at Cait, he knew the bastards wanted her awake before they started and he wanted to make a terrifying impression on all the raiders present. 'I've got time, I need to coat my armor in blood and the gauntlet as well,' he thought as he grabbed his stuff, making his way back into the other rooms where he had left the dead raiders. Donning his armor as fast as he could he got to work spilling more blood from the corpses covering himself even more and drowning his claw gauntlet through the most of it.

'Now I'm ready for the slaughter,' he thought as I headed to the door, "Ah good, it looks like the pretty girl here is finally awake, look hard darlin' you're tonight's entertainment," Nate all but ran to the door to the room Cait was in, her eyes where wide open and darting around seeing all the dripping erections pointing her way as she looked for an escape or for her hero, as a raider came closer to her with a knife ready to cut her clothes off she found Nate, their eyes locking together caused her to relax and smile into her gag. With a tiny nod in his direction, Nate roared his deathclaw cry, as he came swinging his gauntlet at the raiders whose weapons and armor were out of reach. As he swung the gauntlet wildly with one hand, he tore a raiders head clean off his neck, and bashed another's face in. Nate's fury was insane as he danced around the room killing what he could, Cait's scream was muffled but he still heard it making him swing around right as the bullets entered his chest.

He knew he'd been shot and frankly, he didn't care, he was going to save his Cait then he was either going to die, or he was going to live. Cait's tear streaked face was showered with his blood as he ran past her screaming at the raider that got lucky and found his gun, Nate forced the gauntlet into the raiders stomach and tore out his spine and organs in one vicious rip. The last raider standing was covered in the blood of his friends and frozen in place as Nate came up to him, finally realizing the danger the raider did the smartest thing he'd ever done, and began to run, but he was too slow as Nate tackled him to the ground, rolling the raider over Nate threw the gauntlet off as he began to pummel the man to death with his fist. Nate crushed the mans skull in with his left fist and continued to smash his fist into the pulpy remains of the raiders face, while he kept screaming himself hoarse.

Even after his fist made contact with the floor underneath and started ripping his own hand apart Nate wouldn't stop, until he heard Cait's gagged voice give a distressed yell at him. Nate stood and turned, his body heaving with a lack of breath and absolute pain, Nate snarled, the head raider had Cait and had a knife to her throat, his nose broken and bleeding. "You killed my whole goddamn crew you sick fuck. Maybe I should kill your girl as payback," he said pressing the knife to Cait's throat cause a small trickle of blood and a whimper of pain, "SHE'S MINE, LET HER GO, OR YOU DIE." Nate roared back, blood pouring from his mouth, ready to tackle the bastard and introduce him to his own intestines, Cait's eyes shut tightly as she whimpered again as the knife pressed down harder forcing him to stop.

After a moment Nate calmed then spoke softly, "Cait," she whimpered fearfully at his voice, eyes still clenched tightly shut, "Cait look at me," she struggled slightly but looked at him with pleading fearful eyes, "It's gonna be ok Cait. Do you trust me?" Her eyes widened slightly before she gave a soft nod digging the knife deeper and drawing more blood from her neck, lowering himself slightly Nate stared at the raider waiting for Cait to do her part, only a second had past before she made herself go limp in the raiders arm causing him to drop her making the knife slice deeper, opening up the opportunity Nate wanted. Slamming his body into the raider Nate took him to the ground and forced his right fist into the raiders navel as hard as he could, the sudden shock of Nate's fist entering his body made the raider slam his knife into Nate's shoulder socket, almost dislocating it. The raiders screams where deafening in Nate's ears as his hand began pulling intestines out then slamming his empty hand back in to pull out more, the raider could only try and knock Nate's helmet off as this went on.

Eventually he succeeded but only as he was in the final stages of bleeding to death, his eyes widened in fear before his final words were spoken, "Overboss..." With that the raider died and Nate dropped the handful of guts in his hand as he got up to check on Cait. Her eyes were wide with fear as he approached her, she began to scoot away from him as he got close, "Hush baby, it's ok. I'm here it's ok," he tried to calm her down as he got close, "I'm gonna cut the ropes off ok, it's just me, it's just Nate." He said again as he took the knife from his shoulder with a scream and began to cut at the ropes on her legs, then her hands then finally the gag at her mouth. "Nate," she whimpered, "It's me Cait, everything will be fine now." He opened his arms towards her causing her to dive into his embrace and begin crying, "Hush now, it's ok Cait, I killed them all, they aren't gonna hurt you."

"You got shot and, and I thought you where dead for sure, and what you did to those last two raiders," she shivered in fear, "Gods Nate I don't know if it's ok to be horrified of you right now or not." Holding her close he gently whispered, "I wasn't gonna let them touch you, but I wasn't gonna stand by and do nothing. I heard what they were gonna do to you and I saw red and I knew I was going to kill them in the most horrific way possible." "I'm gonna take you outside ok baby?" At her nod Nate hooked his arm under her knees wincing as his heavily injured hand and shoulder attempted to balance her weight and hold her close as he stood with a slight sway, her arms hooked around his neck as she kept her face buried into his bloody neck.

His vision swimming, Nate got Cait outside into the sun and gently placed her on the grass, as he stood back up his vision went black and he fell. Pain filled groaning made Cait look over at him, "NATE," she screamed as she scrambled to him, "I guess this might be the end for me after all Cait," he said with a small smile, more blood coming out of his mouth, as he looked into her face and raised a blood soaked hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, "I'm sorry for everything, I really am. You know what's funny, I was coming back here with the biggest damn hard-on of my life knowing I was gonna make love to you." "I'm not gonna let you die Nate, not today, the Institute can help right? I'll use your pip boy and get you to them," Cait was fierce with her words, Nate grabbed her wrist hard "If I go there, I want you there too, Shawn will understand." Her eyes softened, "I'll come with you Nate, but I'm grabbing a claw egg, find out if your fear on that is true." Nodding all Nate replied was, "Hurry, I'm bleeding out fast," his hand sliding from her wrist to her hand and squeezing it.

Running as hard as she could Cait went to the cave and grabbed the last surviving deathclaw egg as the raiders destroyed the other two, and ran back to Nate, breathing hard she placed the egg on his chest, "Hold this then tell me what to do," "Sit me up in your lap, then bring up the map on my pip-boy." Cait did so quickly and began thumbing around for the map, "It's the funny looking symbol next to C.I.T., double tap it and hold tight." Kissing him hard Cait double tapped the odd symbol and clutched him close to her, feeling a strange pull and hearing a loud noise before it finally stopped opening her eyes she saw that everything was, clean, extremely clean. "Get Shawn," Nate said in almost a whisper, "Through the doorway, tell him your with me, tell him what happened and tell him I want you to stay with me."
