6 - Killing spree prep, and beginning plans for dealing with Piper

Nate entered his quarters to Cait bending over, tying her boots on, her plump ass teasingly sticking into the air as if she knew he was going to walk in right then. Growling under his breath at the sight Nate silently walked in behind Cait before gently sliding a hand over the curve of her rear, causing Cait to jump and try to get away before realizing it was only Nate. "Damnit Nate, you scared the hell out of me.", she snarled as she slugged him in the chest. Wincing Nate gave her a smile as he pulled her close, "Ready to go fuck some dumbasses up babe?", Cait smiled as she squeezed his waist, "More than anything love." Nate raised her chin up to kiss her, then whispered, "Then let's go get our shit and go to Diamond City."

Nate went to the doorway to meet her at the elevator, "And Cait," she turned to look at him after picking up her other boot, "Yeah?" "Bring the cuffs too, we might need them.", the blush on Cait's face was monstrous as she threw her boot at him, Nate laughed loudly as he dodged it while running out the door. "I've created a bloody sex addict. A hot, hung, body worshiping sex addict, oh god damnit.", Cait muttered under her breath to herself as she began to think of what Nate might have intended to use the cuffs for. Wrapping the cuffs around her waist again Cait went to search for her boot which had ended up stuck in the wall across the hall from his doorway, "Today just might not be my day," she sighed as she pried it loose before pulling it on and rushing down the stairs.

As she reached the bottom Cait saw Nate leaning against the opening of the glass tube leading to the upper floor, a dazed smile on his face and a rather obvious tent popping up in his pants. Cait smirked, 'Pay back time Nate,' she thought evilly, "I hope your thinking of me when you drift off like that Nate," she whispered in his ear with lust filled tones as she pressed the call button for the elevator. Nate groaned slightly, "What makes you think I'm not thinking of a game plan for our Killpocalypse?" He shot back with a laugh, "So that's what does it for you huh? Killing frenzy gives you a stiff one and not me?" Nate blinked for a second then looked down, an unmanly yelp coming from his lips as he dropped to the floor in a sitting position, "Damnit baby, not cool!"

Cait laughed as the lift arrived, "You did it to yourself Nate, now you gonna sit there all day or are we gonna go kill some assholes? Maybe I'll let you hide your problem behind me as we go up." Nate growled as he stood, careful not to reveal said problem, "Maybe I could hide it inside you instead, I bet you'd enjoy that.", he whispered into her ear, his hot breath tickling her flesh as he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close as they stepped inside. Cait barely concealed her moan as he pressed his hardness against her, "That's not fair Nate," she whimpered as he bucked lightly. "It's perfectly fair, you started it, you should finish it this time. I finished what you started last time."

Cait grinned, "Maybe when we get to Home Plate, we'll do that. I brought the cuffs with me after all." Cait turned to face him, "But maybe we should get the lift started first, don't want the eggheads to get pissed from having to watch this time since all they did was hear last night." Nate paled as he looked up, multiple Institute scientists were staring at the two with murder in their eyes, "Fuck," he turned and slammed his palm onto the button to start the lift to the upper level. Nate kept his arms wrapped around Cait's waist as he buried his blushing face into her neck, murmuring out "I have a feeling that today is not going to be easy for us." Cait chuckled lightly as she pressed her hands to his chest to make him look at her, "It's only as un-easy as we make it treasure, we just have to remember to keep positive for the ass kicking we are about to dish out."

Nate smiled at that, "Think I should force the raiders to say grace when we get ahold of them?" Cait sighed, "Explain Nate," a smirk appeared on his lips as he pulled away from Cait, his hands pressed together in front of his chest, "We thank you for the ass kicking we are about to receive." Cait enjoyed the tone and pitiful look Nate had as he said this, and began laughing hard, "Oh god, we might have to now. Think any of those raiders will know how to read so we can give the others a good laugh too?" Nate laughed with her as the lift came to a stop at the top, the usually dimly lit room was now bright with new lights and building equipment. Nate went to the closest synth, "When did the building start up here?" "Last night sir. Father authorized an immediate build crew to get this section rebuilt to your satisfaction as fast and safe as possible."

"Thank you, you may continue your work.", Nate told it before rejoining Cait, "Yeah we were definitely loud last night, that's the only reason why Shawn would've had these guys building everything as fast as freakin possible." X6-88 walked over to Nate then, "Good morning sir, are you ready to begin the preparations for the hunt?" Nate clasped a hand on X6's shoulder, "You bet, Shawn said he left my armor up here do you know where he had it stashed?" X6 pointed to a different doorway, "In your new quarters sir, father asked me to set the controls for you to teleport, which destination should I log in?" Grabbing Cait's hand Nate dragged her to the doorway as he called out over his shoulder, "My home in Diamond City is Home Plate. That's where we're going first, everyone else will get friendly markers from us there then meet up at Starlight Drive-In."

"Affirmative sir.", the last thing Cait saw before Nate shut the door was X6 working on the terminal setting the location Nate wanted, Nate's mouth was soon over hers and his hand tangled in her hair and arm wrapped behind her back. Cait moaned into Nate's mouth as they fought for dominance, soon Nate pulled away and began to suck and nibble at Cait's neck, "Fuck, can't get enough of you Cait, have to have you now. Don't want to wait till we get to Home Plate or home to the Cottage." 'Figures,' Cait thought as Nate lifted her up so she could wrap her legs around his waist, "Not fair Nate," she panted as she draped her arms over his shoulders, Nate smirked as he sat on the edge of the bed, only to shoot back up screaming as he dropped Cait on her ass and held his own.

"WHAT IN THE HOLY HELL JUST STABBED ME IN THE ASS!", he screamed as X6 came into the doorway at Nate's yells, "Father said he installed something onto your bed and will remove it after the construction here is complete. I believe he left a note, if that is all I will return to my duties before joining you in the commonwealth." X6 turned and left as Cait tossed Nate a stimpack and found the note, "'Father, if you or Cait are reading this that means you discovered my bed lock,'" Cait read aloud as Nate stood still wincing at the minor pain and discomfort he still felt, "'This is my insurance to make sure you two don't decide to go at it again like wild animals in heat.'" Cait blushed then passed the note off to Nate as she began to pull on her glowing deathclaw armor, throwing the vault suit she was going to wear underneath over her shoulder as she kept the helmet in her hand.

"'If you want to do that, wait till you are home or wait until the muffling has been put in place on this floor. Love Your Son, Shawn.'" Nate finished reading as he heaved a sigh, "Damn boner kill son," Nate muttered as he caught his own vault suit that Cait threw to him, "I'd just wait to put that on till after we get all the friendly armor sorted out, I know how hot these things get with lots of movement, add on that it's the middle of fucking summer and we put reinforced lightened lead lining in them." Cait told him as she dug through the chest their equipment was put into, "Looks like Shawn grabbed my favorite gun, yours too, plenty of ammo for both as well." As she said this she pulled out Nate's plain looking service rifle he dubbed the 'Survivalists Rifle' before pulling out her own service rifle, black in color with golden Children of Atom graffiti on it, Nate had claimed it from a crazed Child of Atom worshiper that called his weapon 'Atoms Glory' as every shot had radiation damage on top of the ballistic damage.

"Sweet, one less thing to hunt down.", Nate grabbed his pack from inside the chest and checked it, "Still have an insane amount of frags, especially the fun ones from Nuka World. Got a decent amount of plasma grenades, and maybe a half dozen molatovs." He shifted things around in his pack, "Got around a hundred stims still and half that in radaway. I've got some purified water, deathclaw steak, wolf ribs, and mutfruit as well as my two boxes of berry mentats." He listed off as he continued to dig around, forgetting momentarily that he needed to keep his mouth shut about his minor drug use. He didn't hear a thing until Cait clocked him in the back of his head with her bat from the bottom of the chest, "I thought you stopped using when I got clean, you fucking bigot.", she was steamed and he was in blinding pain.

"I don't use them that much, and it's only when I'm in a situation where I don't know how many enemies I'm dealing with are left, or where they are. It's easier to carry these around than a few hundred stealth boys." He argued with her quietly as he rubbed the back of his head trying to make the stinging sensation go away. "Don't let me catch you using any of that shite out there or you're never going to be able to walk again, I'll personally see to that Nate.", she seethed as she shoved by him out the door as she took his pack. 'I fucked up again,' he thought as he quietly followed after her, "Cait, I," "I don't want to fucking hear it Nate," she snapped, refusing to look at him as she pulled the pack onto her shoulders. Nate dropped his shoulders in defeat, 'Yup, I fucked up again. I wonder how I can fix this, I need to fix this for her.'

They entered the relay then stood in the living room of Nate's home, Nate decided what to do and grabbed his sack on Cait's back and held her still as he dug for the mentats, "What the hell are you doing?" Cait snapped at him as she tried to face him, Nate found the boxes then released his pack, before walking over to the burn barrel he kept in his home for warmth in the winter and dragged it to the stairs for the roof. "I'm fixing this, I can't have you mad at me for something stupid.", he refused to look at her as he dragged the barrel up every step then carefully hauled it up the ladder. Nate set the barrel next to roof top doghouse that was there when he bought the place and lit it up, as he heard Cait shut the roof trap door behind her watching him closely.

'Damnit, and these were really useful too, but I value Cait way more than I need these.' Nate thought as he tossed both boxes into the flames, the fire licking at the boxes as it made a tiny rainbow of color, then after a second went to Dogmeat's water bowl and pulled the recipe he kept hidden there off and took it to Cait, "This is my recipe to make more berry mentats, you decide what to do with it." He placed the crumpled up paper in Cait's hand, wrapping her fingers around it as he went to the door, "I'm sorry Cait.", he whimpered as he went down to either work on his armor or get stinking drunk. Cait sighed as she unwrinkled the page to read it,

Berry mentat recipe:

Mentats

Anti freeze bottle

Tarberry.

An extra note in Nate's hand at the bottom read,

Makes one box, but try to keep two on you at all times. Don't want to end up in that situation again where I ran out while still surrounded by what I couldn't see. Almost didn't make it out of that one alive and then Cait would never get to know how you feel.

Cait stared, 'There's no way it's that simple. He must really be scared to lose me if he's handing this over to me to let me decide its fate.' Cait folded it back up gently and hid it back under Dogmeat's bowl, 'I over reacted on that one, I knew he still used but he made sure it was never around me so I'd get offended. Great I feel like an asshole now, great just great. I better go help Nate,' she thought before smothering the fire so it wouldn't burn through his roof. After climbing down the ladder Cait threw her armor off onto the floor next to the bed on the second floor, the cuffs along with them, and began to look for Nate. His home was only one large room with three floors with a hidden door to a basement he had dug out and was using as a weapons and armor display area, and Cait couldn't find him until she went to the red door under the stairs to check his basement.

Nate sat on the floor, his back in the corner near the door, his eyes were red and puffy as he nursed a bottle of one of his special brews of every single alcoholic beverage they could still find or make out in the wastes mixed with all Nuka-Cola's and all Vim's. She remembered having it once and almost gagged, it put her out for the count and made her lose a high stakes drinking competition against him. Cait crawled into his lap and wrapped his arms around her, placing the bottle just out of reach so she couldn't smell it. "I'm sorry I went off like that," she finally whispered, feeling his face drop to her neck as his body shivered with another sob, his arms tightening on her, "I didn't mean to have those like it was the most common thing in the world to have," he whispered back in slightly drunken vocals.

"No Nate, you did, I knew you had been using that stuff and I guess I just went off when you actually admitted it. I put your recipe back where you had it, there are some benefits to keeping that drug, but don't use it on the hunt, and definitely not when we travel together." Nate nodded, face still pressed against her neck, "We have work we need to do now Nate so let's get to it." "No." Cait stopped moving not sure if she heard him, "What?" "I'll do the work, you get some rest.", he murmured still not moving "I need to work alone for a little bit, I'll wake you when I need help." Nate reached for his bottle as he stood with a wobble, pulling the lid from his pocket as he walked to the small cooler he kept his brews in.

Cait stood behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist, "I love you Nate, wake me when you need me. I mean it, don't try to do everything yourself." Nate placed his hand over Cait's and squeezed it, "I promise." He whispered feeling her hand slide from his he turned to watch her go up the stairs, "Cait," he called out stopping her half way up. "Can you dump my armor up there too? I don't want it getting mixed in.", he passed her the bundle he made for his armor to sit in, she sighed before shaking her head then came down a few steps to place a kiss on his forehead. "Silly man," she whispered as her thumb rubbed the thick scar on his cheek before continuing back up the stairs, taking the bundle with her.

Nate still had hurt in his heart for what happened but knew she forgave him as he pulled his shirt off and threw it onto the workbench for the house. Nate dug out all the paint he had collected while wandering and grabbed a few old junk pieces of chest armor that were only good for target practice or dismantling for parts. Doing different designs with different colors Nate placed the chest pieces on the wall and pulled out a silenced pistol and ran a few laps around the ground floor and the basement before taking quick aim at the sets, the green paint ended up getting shot to pieces as it just looked like regular gunner combat armor. The white set got a very close call, and the blue and yellow were demolished as well mostly because of his continued hate at Vault Tec, Nate sighed and looked at the paint cans, all he had left now was one bright red he was saving for another project he had in mind but he decided to use it anyway, he could always find more.

Nate coated a chest piece in full red before adding a Vault Tec strip from shoulder to hip, then in the dead center he carefully painted a white deathclaw skull. Nate began his test again and was pleased to see that that set hadn't been shot to pieces at all. He sat his gun down and quickly took a peek upstairs at Cait, to see her asleep on her stomach happily sleeping away, before he grabbed his shirt and went out the red door to Myrna's shop. "Myrna, Percy, I need all the paint you guys have." Somehow they had thirty cans and Percy helped Nate carry them into his home through the blue door, "Thanks Percy," Nate stopped and handed a small sack with about six hundred extra caps in it, "Give this to Myrna, with my thanks."

Nate closed the door with a sigh, his back leaning against the frame for a moment, he soon kicked off his shoes and then made his way over to the stairs. Quietly plodding up the stairs Nate soon saw Cait's still sleeping form, her shirt riding up to just under her nipples caused him to swallow a long gasp of air, his length twitching awake in his pants. "Fuck me," Nate breathed as his shoes slipped from his grasp and banged loudly down the stairs, making Cait groan as she awoke with a start. Seeing Nate standing at the stairs, mouth hanging open as he stared at her, "You ok Nate," Cait's voice shook Nate from his thoughts, "Huh? Yeah, I'm fine, I uh..." Nate stumbled for his words forgetting why he came up here anyway.

"Need some help down stairs?" Cait asked with a chuckle, did he come to ask her for help? Was that why he came up here? "Yeah, I think I got a design and I need to start getting everything marked like it. I need your vault suit too, I think I figured out a way to keep from killing ourselves from overheating." Cait nodded as she stood, her shirt dropping back down to her waist as she stretched, she bent over to grab her vault suit from the floor, hearing Nate give a muffled moan as he turned and practically tripped down the stairs. Cait smirked, 'I guess Nate is trying to control himself and failing miserably.' Cait came down the stairs hearing Nate hamming away at a chest piece still attempting to smooth out a massive dent it still had from a Super Sledge wielding Super Mutant, if this piece hadn't been at his back, Nate would've been crippled or dead for sure.

Cait dumped her vault suit next to his before wrapping her arms around his waist causing him to stop his work, a paint and oil covered hand tangling their fingers together. "What do need me to do Nate, I wanna see your design." Nate placed his hammer down and dragged Cait over to his mini shooting range, "It's this one here, solid red with a Vault Tec color splash and deathclaw head in the middle." Nate handed the heavy chest piece to Cait, "I've got all the chest armor fixed up already I just need help painting them now. After that, I need to work on the power armor downstairs, I have my set of X-02 power armor and my Hellfire power armor ready for use and one is for you." Cait's eyes widened, "That's what you meant when you said I couldn't go on a killing spree without the proper equipment." Nate smiled softly as he nodded, "You can wear your claw armor in there no problem, let me get your vault suit fixed then you can try it on, see where I need to tighten or loosen things."

Cait stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek, "I'd like that, I'll work on the paint while you fix the vault suits." Cait began to drag out all the pieces Nate had fixed over to the paint cans, while Nate went back to fixing the last chest piece. As Nate hammered away at the piece his mind accidentally wandered resulting in the hammer slamming down on the soft flesh of his hand, the half second it took for his mind to register the incident soon was ripping a howl of pain from his lips as he threw the hammer from his grasp toward the blue door and held his bleeding hand. "NATE! Are you ok?" Cait asked as she rushed over slipping on a chest piece causing her to catch herself from falling by dumping her hand in the red paint can as she rebalanced herself. Holding his arm tightly Cait gently moved his hand to see the damage, his new bones where still in one piece but the skin of his hand didn't leave much to the imagination of how hard he had been hitting with the hammer.

"Come on Nate, the medkit is upstairs next to the bed," Cait told him as she carefully pulled him behind her, red paint dripping from her hand as they went up the stairs. Making Nate sit on the bed Cait pulled the medkit box from the wall, red paint coated almost everything and definitely was not helping the situation at hand. Cait began to clean what she could before doing small injections with a stimpack around his hand. "I can't get this blood to go away," Cait said suddenly as she scrubbed at some of the red paint on Nate's hand. Cait scrubbed a little longer before realizing what it was, "Well I feel like an idiot now," she said as she raised her hand, the paint that had dried flaking slightly before Nate grabbed it and pulled her close, holding her hand to his cheek. A ragged sigh leaving his lips at her touch, coaxing her closer with a low moan on her breath.

Nate heard her moan and pulled her closer, their lips barely brushing together, neither hearing the blue door rattle slightly unable to open because of how hard Nate had thrown the hammer that had lodged itself both into the door and the frame. "Nate," Cait whimpered softly as she let her gaze get lost in his as they gently touched their lips together like shy teenagers, Nate's grip never letting go of her hand as he held her closer. Both were now laying down in the bed, legs tangling together as arms wrapped around each other, lips still going slow and steady. Nate was beginning to slide his hand into Cait's pants to tease and rub at her wet lips when a loud banging came from the red door underneath them, the sound forcing them to jump up. Weapons were immediately in hand as the door swung open, "Hey Blue! You in here?" Pipers voice sounded out through his home causing them to relax slightly, "Goddamn, I gotta do something about her, she's driving me fucking nuts Cait." Nate's said in a furious whisper as he looked down at Piper entering his home.

"We can't kill her if that's what you mean Nate," Cait shot back just as quiet, "I wasn't thinking of killing her, but I gotta do something. She comes in here acting like she's actually welcome." Nate turned and dropped his lead pipe on the bed, "She keeps trying to get me to be romantic with her, Curie too, but Piper's the worst about it, she won't take no for an answer. I could be fucking you senseless in front of her and she still wouldn't get it." Nate wrapped an arm around Cait's waist and hugged her close as they watched Piper go to one of the couches Nate had downstairs. "I have an idea, but it makes me sick thinking about it," he mumbled softly, "There's a small cabin near that pond going up to 81 I've been fixin up a little bit. I feel like telling her to meet me there, then while she's there I knock her out then tie her up." Nate went silent for a moment, Cait hated that she was curious, but she wanted to know more, "Then what?" Her whisper filled with her curiosity and fear, "I was gonna rape her, or collar some raiders or gunners or mutants to rape her."

Nate's face was filled with shame, "If I did it I was gonna dress as a raider and rape her. That's what that funny looking metal ring with the strap is for." He carefully pointed down to his workbench multiple rings like he described hanging off the edge. Cait was quiet for a moment as she thought, "Then I'll help you," Nate's grip tightened when she said this, "We get a couple of the Pack from the outpost, a female around my size and a Male around your size. Have them dress as settlers and ask her for help," a cold shiver ran down his spine as he listened he was hating and loving this as he glared down at a bored Piper. "When they get her there we'll have two fakes bodies for us, and while she's paying attention to that we knock her the fuck out."

Cait shifted her weight, even she was uncomfortable with the plan she was making, "While she's out, we strip her then tie her up. Give the Pack members some caps so they can get new faces from Doc Sun so she can't finger them. We get our faces messed with before we go so she won't know, we disguise our voices and make her watch everything. We give her a warning telling her that she'll never find the raiders who did this. And Nate this last part is a really low blow, but it should help MacCready out, since he has a thing for her for some fucking reason. But warn her that her pretty boy MacCready could get hurt if she isn't careful, since he always seems to be so close to her." Nate was quiet for a moment before he nodded with a sigh, "Alright, but let's get her the fuck out of here first, I need to go and board up the windows of that house and finish my repairs. I'll figure something out for the front door." Cait knew they both hated themselves right now but keeping Piper out of their relationship would be to their benefit. Giving him a small kiss on the cheek Cait asked loudly, "Your hand any better now Nate? That hammer hit pretty hard." Nate smiled and headed to the stairs with her, pulling a red bandanna out of his pocket and covered his face, "Yeah, it's much better now Cait, thanks for playing doctor on that."
