Fallout: Life In The Wasteland

Part 7 - "Anti-venom"

By: Jesse Racine AKA Samson

Original Date Written: September 26, 2010

Kid came a little closer to Libitina's rump, bringing his lubed tool between her soft cheeks. He began to push against her opening a little, not using much force. It only took a second or two before he slipped into her, the lube greatly helping. Libitina moaned out rather loudly, Kid holding back a moan. It was amazing! Just at the point of entry, Libitina felt incredibly tight, but there was more space within Libitina the deeper he went. Through the lube, he could feel that her insides were quite soft and smooth. The inside of her suddenly tightened up around him, Libitina clenching around him for a few moments before relaxing. Smiling a little with blush in her cheeks, Libitina asked "Like it?...I've only done this a few times before...I usually only let guys in my front hole...It took me a while to realize I had next to zero feeling there...Besides, I usually only messed around with people to get money or to be able to kill them..." Kid said "Yeah, I like it, I do...It's really different, but it's awesome..."
Libitina grinned happily. She looked forwards, saying "Alright, just go on and do what you want...I can take it, move as fast as you want...The lube makes everything feel alright..." Kid slowly pulled out of her, feeling her squeeze along him as he went. He slickly went back inside, feeling her clench down on him once more before relaxing a second later. Her backside felt wonderful to him, and the position they were in was indeed erotic, true to Libitina's words. Her on her hands and knees, her panties pulled down just enough for him to get to her anally...It was quite sensual to them both. Kid pulled out and slipped back in a few times before Libitina closed her eyes, letting out a soft moan. Her moan gave Kid confidence, putting a small smile on his face. He began to move faster, pulling out of her and pushing back in. Libitina let out a soft coo, murmuring out "Oooh..." Her tightness was quickly flaring pleasure in him, he felt warm with desire. Kid noticed Libitina's panties begin to pull tight across her thighs and the lower parts of her rear's cheeks, Kid raising an eyebrow.
He subtly looked to the side, looking around her waist at the front of her panties. He noticed the bulge in her panties being large and hard enough that it was pushing her panties from within and causing them to pull around her. Kid smiled a little, pulling back, looking at the back of her head for a moment before looking down to her creamy backside. He began to move even faster, Libitina letting out a low and delicious groan, her hair shaking faintly as he kept moving, Kid speeding up just a little bit. Kid wasn't sure if Libitina felt good from what he was doing. He knew from experience that, if he wanted to please a girl, the best thing he could do was to find the little orb of flesh called a "clitoris", but Libitina didn't have any feeling in her front hole, and as far as he knew, the back hole didn't have a clitoris anywhere to it...But Libitina seemed to enjoy it, regardless. Maybe it was just another thing that pleased a girl? He had never done this sort of thing with Dawn, he had never used her ass like this before. Kid could feel the pleasure continue to rise, little by little. Libitina began to get used to his movements and loosen up a little, but she was still wonderfully tight to Kid.
Still wondering if she really liked what was going on, Kid asked "Libby...Does this feel good for you?" Libitina was beginning to breath a little heavily. She tightened around him as she spoke. "Yes!...I do!..." She panted out. Kid began to move a little faster, his climax coming over him. Libitina was starting to tighten around him almost constantly now, she was making cute little sounds of pleasure, cooing and moaning softly. Libitina clenched tightly, Kid keeping his hands on her soft cheeks, moving rapidly. Libitina moaned "You feel so good in me!...It's...Oooh...Kid...It's making me..." He understood her words. She was going to cum soon, just like him. Kid went into a burst of speed. Libitina let out a low moan, shutting her eyes tight and letting her head hang down. The fires inside him rose higher, his body tensing a little. Libitina began to move against him, pushing herself into him when he thrusted into her, pulling away from him when he did the same to her. Kid's orgasm swept over him, his cum splurting out into her velvety backdoor, Kid moaning out. Libitina could feel the heat from his cum, she could feel it slide into her.
Libitina groaned out lightly before moaning intensely. A dark wet spot appeared on the front of her panties, just at the tip of her bulge. They were both panting a little. Libitina panted "I came...I came...Oh God...Kid..." Kid smiled and reached his hands over to the sides of her torso, to her ribs. He began to pull her up, pulling her until her back met his chest. She kept her head tilted to the left, Kid putting his chin on her right shoulder. She grabbed her robe-armour and kept it raised up. Due to their new position, Kid could feel her soft bum against him fully, his member still hard and still inside her. He looked down, past her chest and lean tummy, looking down to her panties. He could see her bulge and the wet spot at it's tip, the wet spot showing a trail leading down along the front of her, her cum obviously running down the front of her underwear. He reached down to her panties, pulling them down more, moving them down her thighs. As soon as her bulge was revealed, Libitina closed her eyes for a moment, blushing intensely. She had indeed cum into her panties, the pink tip of her tool shining with her own creamy discharge.
Thin strings of cum were stretching from the tip of her to the cloth of her underwear, but they broke once Kid had lowered her underwear far enough. Kid looked over to her face. He noticed her eyes shut, the blush almost invisible beneath her face paint in the darkness. He kissed her on the lips, hearing her mumble out "Mmm!..." in surprise. She kissed him back, the two of them kissing a few more times, Libitina slowly mumbling out "Mmmm..." in a content purr. Kid slowly began to move his hips, almost humping into her soft backside once again, moving his tool inside her back and forth. Libitina and Kid kept kissing for a few more seconds, Kid pulling away eventually. Libitina softly said "You want to go again, I guess?..." Kid smiled and nodded. "I'm still hard...I wanna go until I'm soft again." Libitina grinned for a moment. "Okay, then...Let's keep going..." Kid kept moving back and forth inside her, the lube still keeping him slick along with the tight entrance to her ass. He wrapped his hands around her, keeping his left on her soft stomach, his right on her right hip.
He rubbed his hand along her stomach for a few moments. He loved the feeling of her soft skin, running his hand along her, taking the opportunity to feel her softness. He eventually began to move his hand upwards, slipping under her robe-armour, moving his hand up to her chest. She let out a warm breath when he moved his hand around, feeling along the both of her soft globes, running his fingers along her hard nipples. Cupping her left breast after a moment, he felt along the supple skin, giving her gentle squeezes. He took her nipple between his thumb and index finger, pinching her gently, earning a gasp from her. He twisted her nipple just a little, watching as she bit her bottom lip and shut her eyes again. "D-Don't pinch...It hurts..." She breathed out a second later. Kid smiled naughtily and gave her another gentle pinch, hearing Libitina let out a choked gasp. He released her nipple a few seconds later, moving his hand down until it was just under her left breast, feeling her bosom shake whenever he thrusted into her. It wasn't just her chest that shook whenever he thrusted into her, either. Thrusting into her moved her hips a little, her tool swaying a little because of that.
Kid had been a little sensitive right after cumming, but now he was totally ready to have another orgasm, his sensitivity had faded. Thrusting into her quickly once again, he heard Libitina moan out "Ohh, yeahhhh..." She held her words as she spoke them, almost moaning them out. Kid couldn't help but let out a little moan, himself. Libitina brought her face a little closer to his, not even opening her eyes, giving him a kiss on his cheek. Kid turned his head to the side, kissing her back on the lips, the two of them kissing passionately. Libitina kept holding onto her robe-armour, keeping it raised above her hips. Feeling her soft cheeks down around him as he moved only made his thrusting feel more erotic, pushing his member between her cheeks and into her lovely ass filling him ecstasy. He moaned out again. His pleasure began to gently disappear, Kid speeding up in reaction, causing his pleasure to rise once more. Kid broke his kissing with Libitina, the two of them keeping their faces close, the both of them panting. "K-Kid...Please...Touch me..." He heard Libitina pant out faintly.
He knew right away exactly where she wanted to be touched. He moved his right hand down from her hip, moving it down to her tool. He took her in his hand, stroking her rapidly. Libitina immediately moaned out again. Her soft hair touching his face slightly, Kid kept thrusting into her and touching her. His climax washed over him, feeling even more intense than usual due to having an orgasm not long before. His muscles tensed. He went even faster, pounding into Libitina's ass, not realizing as he began stroking along her even faster, as well. He moved his hand up to her left breast once more, cupping her soft mound. They both began to sweat a little, their bodies heating up. Libitina's ass was in a constant state of constriction, Kid ramming into her hot hole as fast as he could. She was moving so fast from his ravaging hits that her balls were smacking into his hand as he stroked her. Her pussy began to drool a thin line of fluids down the inside of her left thigh, her pussy finally reacting to all the other sensations that were running through Libitina's body. Kid's orgasm hit him like a bolt of lightning from a vengeful god, it exploded in his body and rippled through him with the power of a nuclear bomb.
He kept thrusting into Libitina as he spewed out his cum, shooting it out powerfully, firing it into her depths. Libitina moaned out loudly when his orgasm hit him, taking shaky breaths a moment later, whimpering out pitifully as her orgasm came close. Kid forced himself to keep thrusting into her, wanting her to feel as good as possible. He heard her whisper that she loved him. He opened his eyes. Her eyes were open as well, gazing into his. She repeated her words. "I...I love you, Kid..." Once again, Kid didn't know how to respond, but yet again, it didn't matter. A second later, she shut her eyes tight, crying out. Kid looked down along her body just in time to see her cum. She squirted out a rather thick load, Kid watching as it flew out of her and landed to the ground several inches in front of her, past her knees. Kid finally began to slow down. His member quickly began to soften. He fell backwards to the ground, pulling Libitina down with him. Lying on his back now, Libitina lying on top of him with her back to his chest, the two of them panted in silence.
Kid's member slipped out of her ass. Her head still tilted to the left, Kid rested with his head beside her's, releasing her member and resting his right arm by his side. He pulled his left had away from her chest, resting it on the ground by his side, as well. Libitina released her robe-armour, letting her arms rest on the ground by Kid's. Her legs spread, his legs spread a little against the ground but still being between her's, the two of them were almost airing themselves. A minute or so later and the two of them had calmed down enough that they weren't panting any longer. Neither of them moved, they were both tired, they felt comfortable enough to fall asleep right there. If they fell asleep there, however, Kid knew it would be the end of everything when it came to him and Dawn, as he knew the two of them would be eventually discovered by the others when they awoke. Libitina didn't seem to think of that however, contently murmuring out "Mmmm, I could fall asleep right here and now, Kid...You make a nice bed, really comfortable...I feel so at peace...Mmm..."
Kid said "We can't fall asleep just yet...We have to get back to the Highwayman....Can't sleep here..." Libitina softly said "I know, I know...Just saying..." He felt her move her arms a little, feeling her take the both of his hands in her own. He held her hands back after a moment. She softly said "I can't thank you enough, Kid...The things we've done...Nobody's ever really done them with me before. Nobody's accepted me after really seeing what I have...You're the only one...If Dawn never existed, I'd ask you to be my boyfriend..." Kid was flattered by her words. They rested for a few more moments before Libitina got up off of him, turning around and facing him, staying down on her knees. Kid sat up, looking into her eyes. Libitina quietly asked "I-If Dawn never existed and I asked you out, what would you say?" Kid wasn't really sure what a "boyfriend" was, but the way Libitina spoke the word, it seemed to be something important. Kid thought for a few moments before saying "...If Dawn never existed, I'd be dead right now, I know that for sure. I wouldn't have met Dominique either, probably....Ronald, Marv, nobody...But if I had somehow survived and we had met each other, and you asked me to be your boyfriend...Then...I think I'd say "yes"."
Libitina smiled happily. She stood up for a moment, pulling her panties off and holding them in her hands. She wiped at her tool, cleaning it of any of the cum that she had leaked out on herself. She wiped at Kid's tool, rubbing off any of the lube and cum on him, as well. Despite wiping up as much lube as she could, she warned him, saying "Now look, your dick still feels a little different, I think it's because your skin absorbed a little bit of the lube, it was rubbed in...Skin does that you know, it slowly absorbs liquids placed on it and stuff...Just so Dawn doesn't get suspicious, I'd not mess around with her for a day or so...That's long enough for the lube to totally disappear." Kid wasn't sure if he could manage that, but he nodded, anyway. Libitina felt along her panties, pursing her lips to the left side in a bit of a thoughtful face. "Hmm, my panties are all sticky now...I need some new underwear...Can't wear this stuff anymore." She suddenly tossed her underwear off to the side, the underwear disappearing into the darkness. Kid pulled his pants and boxers up, doing up his pants.
The two of them stood up. Libitina looked into Kid's eyes, murmuring out "Kid...I'm glad we're friends. Any time you need help with anything, just let me know...If I can help, I'll do everything in my power to make sure things are alright. Okay?" Kid said "Okay...I'm glad we met too, Libby. I'm glad I know you...I care about you. If anything bad is going on, just let m-me know, and I'll see if I can help, too." Libitina smiled at his words. She took a step closer to him, slipping her arms around his waist, resting her hands against the small of his back. He reached his arms around her, keeping her hands on her upper back. She kept the side of her face close to his, Kid feeling some of her soft hair against his face, the two of them closing their eyes as they embraced. They hugged for several seconds before they finally released each other. Kid reminded Libitina of what they had agreed upon, saying "Remember, Libby..."
Before he continued, Libitina nodded, saying "I know, I know...This is the end...But that's doesn't mean I have to like it...I really wish we didn't have to stop...But I don't want to cause problems for you and Dawn, so..." Kid gave her one last quick kiss on the lips, Libitina quickly kissing him back. Kid stayed close to her, the two of them kissing twice more before Kid finally decided to pull away from her. Things were really over between them now, they had to stop. Kid wanted to be faithful to Dawn, he was alright with being friends with Libitina, but he didn't want to be more than that with anyone now, he only wanted to be like that with Dawn. The two of them walked back to the Highwayman, quietly creeping inside. Libitina got in the back, Kid getting in the front. As if nothing happened, they quietly closed the doors beside them, getting comfortable and relaxing into a deep sleep...
Cain awoke to the sounds of gunfire. His eyes snapped open. He hardly noticed that Harlot was still asleep, bolting up from the bed. He grabbed his flamethrower, which was still lying by the side of the bed. Harlot was shocked into waking from his speedy movements. He rushed to the door of their motel room, pulling it open and running outside. Stepping outside, he calmed down at the sight before him. An obviously amateur Ranger had tried to free some slaves in the early morning, getting gunned down by nearby slavers. The New California Republic's Rangers were almost the antithesis of slavers; they were pledged to protect the people of the wastes, particularly from slavery. If a Ranger and a slaver crossed paths, nothing would stop the bullets from flying, a fight was inevitable. Slavers could identify Rangers by the unique pin they each wore on the chest their armour, and Rangers could spot a slaver in a crowd due to the tattoos they all wore on their faces. The Ranger pin was a white star with three golden bars reaching out on it's left and right sides. Every official Ranger had one and it was a thing of pride to wear it; every Ranger wore their badge, no matter what.
The slaver tattoo was always on the face for easy and instant recognition, it was to mark a person as officially being a part of the Slaver's Guild. Different looking tattoos meant different things, they could mark a slaver with recognition over their accomplishments or failures, and because the art of removing the ink of tattoos was a lost one, the marking was truly permanent. Cain watched as three slavers shoved two slaves back into their single shared outdoor pen, locking them up once more. They walked over to the corpse of the Ranger, turning him over and searching his corpse for valuables. Cain sighed, feeling tired, having wanted to sleep in. Harlot stood in the doorway. She had seen the Ranger, she knew what had gone on just as well as Cain did. One of the slavers laughed as another began to urinate into the face of the dead Ranger. Cain turned and spotted Harlot in the doorway.
She looked sleepy. Cain said nothing to her, walking back into the motel room, putting his flamethrower down by the side of the bed. Harlot closed the door as soon as he was back inside, turning around and watching as he got back on top of the bed. He sighed softly. "Not how I was expecting to wake up..." He mumbled. Harlot chuckled softly. The very same thing had been running through her mind as soon as she herself had been roused. She got back on the bed, crawling under the sheets, lying next to him, facing him. She wasn't exactly cuddling with him, she was only lying facing him. They both closed their eyes, the incident with the Ranger quickly slipping away from their sleepy minds, the darkness enveloping their consciences rather rapidly as they fell back asleep.
The figure in the red combat armour began to crawl into the outskirts of Illust. A guard doing his early-morning patrol of the outskirts walked along nearby, not noticing her right away. She grunted in pain and exertion as she kept clawing her way along, her arms having long lost all feeling to them, the only thing keeping them going being the figure's simple determination to not die just yet. If she thought of anything else, her arms would give in to the exhaustion she felt, and then it'd be almost impossible for her to get them moving again. The suffering had caused her to weep every little once in a while. All through the night she had crawled along, dragging her body agonizing inch by inch towards Illust, and now, by the dawn's morning light, she was finally beginning to enter the town. She sobbed out. Her arms were simply starting to stop listening to her. The temptation to just stop and fade away was like a sweet melody being whispered into her ear by the devil, himself.
She wanted to die with more dignity, she wanted to die like a fighter, she didn't want to die lying face-down in the dirt. Small droplets of glowing green fluid continued to drip from the slashes and lacerations along her arms. Finally, to her horror, her body stopped listening to her commands, her arms failing her. She collapsed fully to the ground. That's when the guard nearby heard her. Looking over, her saw her and the seemingly endless trail of blood and glowing fluid behind her. For a moment, he decided to simply leave the body where it was, not thinking that anyone could have survived crawling for so long while constantly losing blood. Plus, he had no idea what the glowing green fluid was. It looked almost like a radioactive goop. He heard her begin to sob, her sobs barely audible, the woman's face down in the dirt, her long hair down and around her head on the ground.
He had been about to turn around and simply walk away when something came over him, as if from a higher power. It was pity. Pity filled his heart and mind, every cell of his body. If he left the woman there, he knew he'd regret it and hate himself over it. He had to try to help the woman. Even if she was a lost cause, it'd at least give him peace of mind in knowing that he at least tried instead of dooming the woman to certain death by just leaving her there. He quickly walked over to her, getting down on one knee by her side. He heard he take in a sniffling breath as he turned her over. She had light skin, her wavy strands of black hair covering the most of her face as she lay on her back. The man cleared the hair from her face. Instantly, he noticed that she was missing her right eye. He wasn't repulsed by the sight; his many years as a guard had given him innumerable chances to see people missing even more valuable body parts and organs, he was totally numb to the sight of physical violence by then.
Her eye socket empty and crimson from the blood rushing through the woman's head, her left eye was closed, the woman sobbing weakly still. Tears were streaking down the left side of the woman's face from her remaining eye. The woman didn't move at all, she was totally limp. The guard said "Hey, can you hear me? What happened to you, lady? What's your name?" She shakily said "P-Please...Help me...I...I'm starting t-to feel cold all over...T...Tans...I'm..." The woman stopped making noise, going silent. The guard hesitated for a moment. Was she dead? He reached a hand over to the side of her throat, gently pressing his index and middle fingers into her flesh. He could feel her heartbeat, but it was very weak. Not wasting any more time, he said "Alright, just hang on, I'll take you to someone who can help. Just hang on, lady!" He began to pick her up in his bulky arms, making sure she was stable and that he had a good grip on her before rushing off, running down a nearby alley and heading deeper into the town of Illust.
Kid awoke to the feeling of the sun on his face. The Highwayman wasn't moving. He took in a deep breath, slowly opening his eyes a crack. He was in a place he faintly remembered: the bazaar-like area just outside of the northern-most gates to the NCR. He had been here before with Dominique, not long after Dawn had died. He looked around in the car. Everybody was gone, the vehicle was empty except for him. He rubbed at his eyes for a few moments, looking through the windshield to try and spot any of his companions. It took him a few seconds, but he eventually spotted Dominique nearby. She was standing at a vendor's stall, obviously trading with him, several items being on the stall's counter, including what looked like a big bag of caps. Kid got out of the Highwayman, closing the door he had gone through behind himself. He began to walk over, stretching as he did so, moving his arms around a little. He walked up to the stall, Dominique not noticing him until he reached over and rubbed his hand along her right hip, Dominique looking over with a gasp then.
He smiled a little and pulled his hand back, asking "Where is everybody?" Dominique relaxed, smiling a little, saying "Dawn went into the NCR to try to talk to this "President Tandi" person. Marv went off somewhere with Heather, and Libitina's just over there at that stall." She pointed off to a nearby stall. Kid hadn't noticed her, but now that Dominique pointed her out, Kid could see her. Libitina stood at one of the many nearby stalls, seemingly doing the same as Dominique had been moments ago; trading with the vendor of the stall. "Libitina and I are trading to get some people to get some supplies. She's taking care of the food and drinks, and I was supposed to take care of medical supplies. Dawn gave us permission to use her money." At this, Dominique nodded towards the large bag of caps on the counter of the stall. "I already got us a bunch of meds, we're set for that stuff when you put what I just got with what we already have. Now I'm looking around to see if any vendor has a Pulse Pistol."
Kid asked "Any luck?" Dominique shook her head. "No...The closest I've seen anyone have would be a laser pistol...I don't really want a laser pistol though, it's not the same thing...The Pulse Pistol I had was special to me, my father gave it to me....A laser pistol just isn't the same as a Pulse Pistol, Pulse Pistols pack a lot more punch to them. I need a gun of my own, though...So...I think I'll just get one until I can find a Pulse Pistol." The man asked "Does that mean you'll take it?" Dominique nodded. "And five small energy cells to power it, please." The man nodded, reaching under his stall and pulling out five of the red objects, placing them on the stall's counter. The laser pistol already lay on the counter. The majority of it's frame was white, but black lines were all along it. Holding the pistol under a light source revealed that the lines weren't cosmetic, but actually openings to the interior of the pistol's frame, revealing complex machinery beneath. Just underneath the barrel of the gun was a blue crystal sphere of sorts, fitted into the pistol's frame. The handle was thin, the sides black with the edges being white.
The very back of the pistol had a set of small square-shaped buttons, all numbered with black characters over the white of the buttons, going from zero to nine. Dominique took it. On the pistol's left side, near the handle, there was a single hole leading to the inside of the pistol. It was obviously the charging point for the small energy cells. The vendor said "It's locked down right now, for security reasons, you understand. To unlock it, press the buttons in this order...You listening?..."One-five-nine". Press "zero" if you want to lock it down again. Locking it down is like turning on the safety of a regular gun; even if the trigger gets pulled, the gun won't fire. If you think you're about to get into a fight, better unlock the gun quick, or else you could get screwed. Gun's already loaded with a cell. Cost's six hundred caps for the whole thing, I'm having a sale today and tomorrow to attract customers, usual price is a little more than eight hundred." Dominique nodded. She reached her hands into the bag, pulling out several handfuls of caps, piling them on the counter. The man felt through the caps, picking out about a handful of valuable ones that added up to six hundred, pushing the rest of the pile back towards Dominique.
Kid and Dominique grabbed the caps and put them back in the bag. Kid grabbed the bag for Dominique, Dominique taking the pistol and it's small energy cells, nodding at the vendor as the two of them turned to walk away. Dominique, holding the pistol in her left hand and the ammo for it in her right, headed for the Highwayman with Kid. When they reached the car, Dominique laid her spare ammo on the hood of the car, Kid opening a door on the Highwayman and laying the bag of caps in the back, where Dominique had gotten it from. Closing the door, he looked over to Dominique, watching her press a couple of buttons on the back of the pistol. After pressing three, the pistol let out a faint mechanical hum. It was armed and ready to throw out death in the form of bolts of red light. She held the pistol out with both hands, holding it mostly in her left, stabilizing her grip with her right hand. Aiming down the barrel of the pistol, she looking out into the wasteland. She nodded after a moment, resting the pistol down on the hood of the Highwayman. Kid walked over. Dominique said "I got this pistol for a real bargain. These things usually go for around one thousand and five hundred caps.
That vendor must not realize what he has to sell it for eight hundred at his usual price. Maybe he just doesn't think anyone would buy it for it's actual price...I would still prefer a Pulse Pistol, but a gun is a gun, oui? The point is to kill whatever you want to kill, and this thing will certainly do just that. Sort of rare, but not as rare as Pulse Pistols..." Kid smiled a little, listening to her talk without a sound. Dominique looked over to his face, realizing he was just listening to her talk, Kid having been staring at her a little. She blushed a little. Looking into one another's eyes for a few seconds, Dominique blinked and made a gentle sound as if she were clearing her throat, looking away from his eyes a second later. "Um, yeah, so...Kid....Why don't you see how Libby's doing? I'll see if I can find Marv and Heather, then we can all see if we can find Dawn in the NCR. Okay?" Kid looked away, nodding, saying "Yeah, alright..." He walked off, heading towards the form of Libitina. Dominique sighed softly once she figured Kid was out of earshot. She closed her eyes for a few moments.
Gazing into each other's eyes had begun to make Dominique feel awkward. Since the events to recently come about between them, since Kid had fully ended things with her, Dominique felt it was inappropriate to do any of the things her heart still urged her to do. She would have liked to gaze into his eyes, for a flicker of a moment she had wanted to kiss him, but she couldn't, she knew she had to ignore her feelings. Doing so hurt her, however. She had told Kid as well as herself that she could just be friends with him, but acting only like a friend without romantic feelings was a harder guise to maintain than she had first imagined. She opened her eyes, pushing the situation away from her thoughts, hoping in the back of her mind that it would simply resolve itself. She focused back on her new pistol, raising it up and examining it. She had never really taken the opportunity to examine a laser pistol up close, so she took a few minutes to look along it, taking in all of it's details.
Dawn walked through the streets of the NCR, heading for the Hall of Congress, one of the several districts of the rather large city. The NCR was the only city Dawn knew of that was almost exactly like what she imagined a pre-war city to be like. The city had clean water for almost all of it's lawful denizens as well as electricity for their homes. The buildings of the NCR were all new and made of white sandstone. The city was walled off to protect the people within from any hostile animals that might threaten them. Green trees and shrubs grew within the city's walls, but there was still no grass to cover the expanses of dirt. The streets were freshly paved and gad sidewalks to them. There was even a police force to the city. The police were dressed in clean blue uniforms with matching blue hats, polished golden badges on the left sides of their chests, over their hearts. The police were not a force to reckoned with, something Dawn knew and understood; not only were the majority of the police armed with Gauss rifles like Dawn herself, but their police uniforms were lined with steel to help protect from bullets.
A bullet from a Gauss rifle like her own would have no problem getting through their armour, but still, they had Gauss rifles as well, and that could just as well punch through her black attire. Dawn knew that the police didn't even like it if someone held their weapon in public, so she had her rifle shouldered, her helmet clutched in her left hand so as to avoid suspicion possibly brought on by hiding her face. Her trench coat swayed around her legs as she walked along the sidewalk quietly. There was a police officer at nearly every street corner, quietly watching those that walked by with a stern and protective gaze. Heading through the fairly empty streets, it took her around twenty minutes to get to the Hall of Congress. There were only a few buildings to this particular district, the one Dawn wanting to enter being one on her immediate left. Up ahead in a little garden, a large stone statue stood, a few benches seated around it. The statue was of a man wearing a vault suit, in a pose as if he were running. A large bronze plaque had been embedded into the base of the statue. Dawn walked closer. On the man's back, on his vault suit, was the number "13".
Dawn glanced at the plaque. She had already read it ages ago. She personally believed in the Vault Dweller and what he had done, despite the plaque's doubting words. She had met the man known as the Chosen One, the leader of New Arroyo. The Chosen One was believed to be the grandchild of the Vault Dweller, and the Chosen One himself had done amazing things, as well as the Vault Dweller. When she had met the Chosen One, he had told her of the things he knew, Dawn having wanted to know as much as she could. She could remember every bit of his lengthy tale. The Vault Dweller had come from Vault 13 and, among many other things, killed an abomination known as "the Master", stopping him and his dreams of turning as many humans as possible into super mutants. Almost every single super mutant in the wasteland was a direct result of the Master's dream. The Vault Dweller first destroyed the vats of FEV at an old military base known as "Mariposa". FEV stood for "Forced Evolutionary Virus", which was apparently a green viscous fluid that, if exposed to living tissue, resulted in massive mutation. Fighting off tons of super mutants, the Vault Dweller eventually caused the base to self-destruct, destroying the stores of FEV.
The Vault Dweller then went to a cathedral that the Master lived under, confronting him and killing him in combat. Then, for reasons unknown to the Chosen One, the Vault Dweller was told to leave Vault 13 upon his triumphant return, forced to leave in exile. He travelled north and founded Arroyo, which was a simple tribal village for several decades. Long before the Chosen One was even born, the Vault Dweller vanished from Arroyo. Several of his possessions were missing, leading many to believe that he had grown restless of being the tribe's first elder, and had left to continue a life of travelling. When the Chosen One was born, the Elder of the village, his aging mother and the daughter of the Vault Dweller, told him that he was to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather on a quest. He was to get a G.E.C.K., a Garden of Eden Creation Kit. The village was failing; it's crops and animals were dying due to extreme drought, the children were growing sick with malnutrition. The G.E.C.K. was spoken of in the Vault Dweller's memoirs briefly, saying that it was supposed to create life out of lifelessness.
The Chosen One was sent to find it. He eventually did find one in none other than Vault 13, the vault being filled with fairly intelligent deathclaws, the animals even capable of speech. They were peaceful and, in return for a little bit of help, gave him their only G.E.C.K. to have for his quest. When he returned to his village however, he found the place razed by a shadowy group known only as "the Enclave". He discovered that the Enclave resided on an old oil rig far off the coast, getting access to an ancient ship in San Francisco, making his way to the oil rig thanks to a stolen set of computer pieces tricking the oil rig into reading the tanker as part of the Enclave. Storming the oil rig, he found not only his village's people, but also what remained of the descendants of the original denizens of Vault 13, the people having been taken by the Enclave not long before. The Chosen One freed both groups of people, fighting a mammoth of a man known only as "Frank Horrigan" before escaping the oil rig. Unexpectedly, the oil rig exploded shortly after the Chosen One's escape. The Chosen One, along with his village's people and the descendants of those from Vault 13, used the miraculous G.E.C.K. at the site of the old and destroyed Arroyo, creating New Arroyo.
That tale had been the primary reason why Dawn had decided to take and keep the G.E.C.K.s from Vault 17; she could one day use them and create a fertile bit of land somewhere. She and the Chosen One were friends, she had helped him with a few things around New Arroyo, she thought about how she might one day go back and visit him. Snapping out of her thoughts, realizing that she had stood and stared at the Vault Dweller's statue for several minutes, she shook her head gently. She looked over to the building to her left. She knew President Tandi to live within. She knew Tandi to be a very just and compassionate leader, but also very protective of the lands under the NCR's flag. If Dawn informed Tandi of how the Scaled Hiss had been prowling around NCR territory, and had even entered it to destroy small towns, she expected Tandi to believe her and send some of her army to New Reno to liberate it and destroy the Scaled Hiss. However, to gain an audience with Tandi, she fully expected that she'd be asked to do a favour for someone or other. It was the way of the wasteland, after all. If you want someone to go out of their way to help you, you better be prepared to go out of your way to help them, as well.
Dawn approached the large building, the two guards by the single wooden door eyeing Dawn up, Dawn ignoring them as she reached for the knob. If Dawn's plan worked, the Scaled Hiss would be reduced to hopefully nothing, and New Reno would be free. Whether the city ever once again became what it was before, that was unknown, but Dawn figured it would. New Reno would always be the city that never slept, there'd always be parties going on. She hoped her plan worked, because if she couldn't get Tandi to send some small chunk of NCR troops to New Reno, Dawn couldn't think of any other group in the wastes that would be capable of helping, let alone willing to.
