Fallout: Life In The Wasteland

Part 8 - "Echoes of the Past"

By: Jesse Racine AKA Samson

Original Date Written: March 8, 2011

Kid and Libitina listened to the radio for nearly an hour, just relaxing happily as they did so. Every once in a while, one of them would comment on a song playing, saying they either liked it or didn't like it. The other would always reply with their own opinion, in turn. After around an hour, Kid heard Libitina sit up in the backseat, a moment later feeling her hand touch his left shoulder. He looked to the left just as Libitina leaned forward, her face coming close to his. She smiled, asking "Hey, can I kiss you?" Kid gave her a bit of a face for a moment, narrowing his eyes and frowning only slightly. She laughed gently, Kid looking forwards through the windshield once more. "You know you can't." He said calmly. Libitina grinned and said "I remember you telling me that kisses on the cheek were fine." Kid's eyes widened a touch as he realized she was right, he had said that to her a while back. He rolled his eyes for a second before relaxing, saying "I guess."
He felt Libitina kiss him on his left cheek a moment later, the girl saying "Kiss me back?" Kid looked over to Libitina, Libitina turning her head to the left, her right cheek pointing towards Kid's face. Kid came closer and gave her painted cheek a light kiss for a second before pulling back, Libitina's voice unimpressed as she said "C'mon, one more? A good kiss?" Kid made a bit of a face before coming closer once more. He closed his eyes, about to kiss her cheek when he suddenly felt her twist her head to the side rapidly. Confused, he was about to open his eyes when he suddenly felt Libitina push her lips to his. Kid pulled back, his eyes going wide. Libitina laughed hysterically, saying "You fell for it!" Kid's face immediately went annoyed as he realized that Libitina had tricked him. He looked forwards once more, Libitina falling into the backseat, laughing intensely. Kid tried to focus on the radio and ignore the laughing girl in the backseat, but it was impossible. "Shut up, Libby. It's not funny." He said. She kept on laughing, the girl having tears in her eyes by that point. Kid's face went more annoyed.
After a few seconds, he said "Be quiet, Libby!" She kept on laughing, Kid growing so annoyed that his face was going a little red. He finally decided on acting, suddenly starting to crawl into the backseat. Libitina was lying on her back in the backseat, rolling around slightly from her intense laughter. His knees against the edge of the backseat, his legs against the bags piled down in the footspace, he reached over and grabbed Libitina's right shoulder with his left hand, his right hand going to her left hip. She slowly stopped laughing, looking up to his face with a big smile. His face was still annoyed as he stared into her eyes. "Problem?" She asked, her smile turning to a grin. Kid narrowed his eyes. "Yeah. Your laughing." He said. She kept grinning, giving him a wink. The bag under Kid's legs suddenly shifted, his knees slipping below the edge of the backseat. His eyes widened for a split-second before he started to fall forwards. He raised his right hand from Libitina's hip in a flash, pressing it to the backrest of the backseat, catching himself before he fell too far.
Seeing that he had been falling, Libitina shot her hands up to his torso, pressing her left hand to his chest, her right to his stomach. She lost any smile that she may have had. "You alright?" She asked. He had a calm expression to him like she did as he said "Yeah, I'm fine." He looked to her eyes, locking gazes with her. They gazed into one another's eyes for a few seconds before Libitina slowly started to sit upright, Kid taking his hand from her shoulder and bringing it down to the backseat. As she sat up, she brought her face near his, Kid not moving, his mind blank as he felt Libitina's hands lightly feel along his shirt. Her face near his, she was about to kiss him on the lips when she paused. A second later, she kissed him on the chin. She smiled, scooching back from Kid as he started to blush a little. "Can I paint your face again?" She asked, smiling happily. Kid pulled himself into the backseat, sitting by her feet on the far side of the seat. "Um...Sure." He said. Libitina smiled and said "Alright, just let me get my jars from the trunk, 'kay?" Kid nodded.
Libitina reached into the driver's seat, getting on all fours with her knees on the bags down in the backseat's footspace, her legs on the backseat, itself. Kid noticed her shake her hips slightly, wiggling her tush left and right. He couldn't help but stare for a few seconds, the sight of her pants pulled tight over her rump as she wiggled around making him blush. A heavy sound came from the trunk as Libitina pulled on a lever down by the driver's seat, Libitina popping the trunk. She sat up on her knees, looking over her shoulder, an annoyed face to her as she said "Hey, quit staring at my ass." Kid quickly mumbled "Oh, s-sorry..." before looking away. Libitina grinned, holding back a chuckle, saying "I'm kidding Kid, relax." Kid gave her a look of confusion. Libitina gave him another wink before pulling herself into the driver's seat. She opened the door beside herself, stepping out of the Highwayman and heading over to the trunk. She pulled it open all the way, spotting the pile of clothes amid all of the trunk's other piles of items. She grabbed her robe-armour in a big bundle, shutting the trunk a second later. She had a little smile on her face as she got back in the Highwayman, closing the door behind herself.
She crawled back into the backseat, getting beside Kid. She was still smiling a little as she pulled out all the little jars from her robe-armour's big pocket over it's stomach, setting them down on the seat beside her. "Now, move a little closer to the edge of the seat, get your back away from the backrest. Spread your legs a little, too." She said with a smile. Kid complied, although he felt a little confused at her request. She suddenly got between his spread legs, surprising him. She sat facing him, slipping her legs around his waist and against the small of his back, sitting on the backseat between his spread thighs. She had her legs crossed behind him, around the small of his back, filling the space between his back and the seat behind him. Looking down to his eyes, she grinned as he blushed, resting her hands against his chest for a moment before pushing him back until his shoulders were against the backseat once more. "There. I'm comfortable, and it'll be easy for me to paint your face. Are you comfortable?"
Kid had to admit, the position wasn't uncomfortable, and as long as Libitina didn't go any further in a sexual sense, than he was fine with it. "Y-Yeah, actually...I feel fine." He said, resting his hands on her thighs, near her hips. Libitina smiled happily, saying "Good! Now, just lean your head back so I can see your face properly." Kid leaned his head back, still looking to Libitina's eyes. Sitting between his legs while he leaned back, she appeared to be a bit taller than Kid, Libitina looking down to his eyes warmly for a moment before looking off to the side at her nearby jars of face paint. "Hmm, now, which colour should I start with?..." She murmured, seemingly to herself. Her mouth was open just a crack, her eyes darting along her jars of face paint for a few moments before she smiled, seemingly coming up with a design to put on Kid's features. She grabbed her jar of yellow face paint, opening it up. Kid stayed still as Libitina started going to work. He wasn't sure what she was painting with yellow, but she had started under his eyes, putting her first designs there. As she finished the first design under his left eye and moved over to do another just under his right eye, she casually asked "So, you had sex with Dom, right?"
Kid blinked before saying "Yeah." Libitina smiled a little, asking "Mmm, French. Must've been nice. Did you have fun?" Kid looked off to the side as he said "...The first time, she was trying to comfort me...But yes, it was fun...The second time...Not as much. I felt bad about it." Libitina raised her eyebrows for a moment before relaxing. "I didn't know you guys did it twice. I'm jealous. You and I only fooled around once." Kid looked to Libitina's eyes, saying "What about way back when, in Dawn's room at the studio, there? We fooled around." Libitina smiled broadly as she said "I was the only one to cum, then. If you had cum too I'd count it, but it was only me that got messed around with." Kid made a bit of a face, pouting his lips off to the side, narrowing his eyes a little. Libitina grinned, saying "Cut it out, you're gonna make me mess up my design if you make faces." Kid relaxed, Libitina working silently for a few minutes. After she had finished her design under his right eye, she put her yellow paint away, grabbing her blue paint in exchange. She started doing a design over his forehead, beginning to hum softly to herself. She was humming a song Kid had never heard before, but the sound of it entranced him.
After a minute, she stopped humming, opening her mouth a little. Barely moving her lips, she started to slowly sing in a very gentle and quiet voice. "With my feet upon the ground, I lose myself between the sounds and open wide to suck it in, I feel it move across my skin...I'm reaching up and reachin' out, I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me, whatever will bewilder me..." Kid softly said "That sounds...Really good...Where did you hear it?" Libitina smiled happily for a moment before quietly saying "I don't know. I think I just heard it in my head one day, I don't remember ever hearing it on the radio. I get that sometimes, just music, you know? Just music in my head." Kid had sometimes made music in his head, but it was never as good as the stuff he heard on the radio. He remembered back several months, to when Dawn once sang a song to him before he fell asleep.
She hadn't sang to him since then, but he still remembered how beautiful her voice had been. Libitina spent another few minutes on Kid's forehead before she asked "Do you ever think about what's going on in other countries?" Kid said "No, I guess not..." Libitina said "I have...I sometimes wonder how the people in other countries are dealing with their own wastelands. I wonder if they have to deal with the same animals and shit that we do?" Kid shrugged lightly. "Maybe." He said. The two went quiet then, simply listening to the radio, Libitina quickly finishing up her design on Kid's forehead. She painted the bridge of his nose for a moment before changing colours, doing a design on the both of his cheeks. Her entire design took about twenty-five minutes, from start to finish.
She smiled happily when she had finished, saying "There, I think I'm all done." She raised her hands to the sides of Kid's head, lightly feeling through some of his hair, clearing what bangs he had from his forehead. He saw her eyes calmly scan over his features, her smile slowly fading. She lowered her right hand from the side of his head until her thumb brushed across his lower lip. Kid saw Libitina close her eyes slightly, her mouth hanging open a touch. Suddenly, not too quickly yet not too slowly, she pulled his head up straight and brought her face to his, kissing him passionately, closing her eyes as she did so. Kid felt her move her body a little closer to his, blush building up under his cheeks as he felt her push her crotch to his own. He could feel the slight bulge her boy parts produced press against his own, and for a moment, he lost himself to physical desire, feeling delight in her actions. After that one moment however, he raised his hands to Libitina's hips, gently pushing her back a little.
He knew he had to be careful, he didn't want Libitina to become upset like she had back in Rister. Keeping a very calm face, maintaining a relaxed voice, he looked Libitina in the eyes. She still had her crotch pressing against his as he said "Libby...We can't. You know that." Libitina looked downwards, Kid following her eyes. He heard her gulp as she slowly started to rock her hips back and forth, rubbing herself against him. Kid began to blush a little more. The feeling was surprisingly pleasant, slowly pushing Kid into arousal. He could feel Libitina's bulge grow a little stronger, realizing she was growing aroused, too. Feeling her react to the rubbing like he was only made him more aroused, which, in turn, aroused Libitina even further. It didn't take very long for Kid to be completely hard, Libitina in the same state. Libitina's breathing had grown a little more deep, her face full of blush. She seemed to be taken over by lust. "Kid...I remember how we messed around in Dawn's room, ages ago...You let me hold our things beside each other, so I could see which of us was bigger...Can I...Do that again?..."
Kid looked to Libitina's eyes, saying "Libby, we shouldn't...We can't..." Libitina came closer to Kid, kissing along his neck, sending shivers along his skin. "Please, Kid...I need to feel your skin against mine, like before...It was so nice...I promise I won't ask for anything other than that..." Kid raised his eyebrows a little pleadingly, gently asking "And then we'll stop?..." Libitina nodded, murmuring "I promise..." Kid held back a sigh, saying "Okay..." Libitina grinned happily for a moment before pulling her head back. She reached down and undid her pants, pulling the zipper of her jeans down. She reached over and undid his pants, as well. Pulling apart their pants, his boxers were revealed along with her silk blue panties. She pulled down on his underwear, his hard member springing out. Her eyes went wide when she saw him, Kid blushing intensely. "Oh, God...I've missed your dick, Kid..." She mumbled lustfully, making Kid blush even more.
She reached over to her panties, pulling them down, letting her own hard tool spring out. She smiled, breathing deeply yet slowly. They were both looking downwards. With their phalluses out, the tips were lightly touching one another, Libitina just starting to ooze a drop of pre-cum. "Sometimes I wish I had never grown this thing..." Libitina mumbled sullenly. She ground her hips forwards slightly, rubbing her hard tool against Kid's, sending a ping of pleasure through the both of them. She smiled. "...But sometimes, it can be so much fun to have it..." Kid shuddered with almost ecstasy as he watched Libitina ooze a drop or two of pre-cum on to the head of his member. Looking up to his eyes, she softly said "You know, there's probably a lot of people out there that'd call you "gay" over this." Kid looked to Libitina's eyes curiously. "Huh? Really? But...Doesn't "gay" mean you're interested in...Well, guys with guys and girls with girls?"
Libitina nodded, saying "Yeah, but some people would probably call you gay for having a dick rubbed against your's...Even if that dick was attached to a girl." Libitina raised an eyebrow. "I really am a girl, I was born a girl, I can remember when I didn't have my dick...But that was only for a couple of days before I grew my cock. Even though I'm really a girl, people would probably call you gay...I dunno what they'd call me, though. Probably just a "freak"." She gave him a half-smile, rubbing her member against his once more before saying "But you know, sexuality is a funny thing. I think it messes with people more than they realize. I think, whatever your tastes are, it shouldn't be made into a big deal, and you shouldn't be forced into picking a label for yourself. I mean, if I had to pick a label for myself, what would it be? I mean, I was born a girl, but my pussy is pretty much useless to me now, at least when it comes to having fun. I have a dick like a guy, but I don't want to screw girls, I'm not a lesbian. I want to fuck guys, or, more accurately, I want to be fucked by guys. Since my pussy doesn't really react to stuff anymore, I only do what guys can do when it comes to sex, you know, anal and blowjobs and crap like that. What am I? Am I still a girl, or am I a guy? Am I a mix? Or am I neither? Too damn confusing, so I don't bother."
She rubbed her member against his again, leaking another drop of pre-cum. Kid was still blushing, but her words had seemed rather insightful to him, so his mind had been distracted from desire over to curiosity. "Whatever people think of me, I don't care. If they like me, maybe I'll let them get close to me in exchange for a few quick caps, maybe for free if they were really sweet and didn't piss me off. If they don't like me, they can go to hell." Kid smiled a little, holding back a chuckle. Libitina looked down to their tools, Kid feeling a hand wrap around their touching phalluses. "Kid, I really do love your dick...It's so smooth and warm...It feels awesome..." Kid felt rather embarrassed from hearing Libitina speak in such a way, usually only hearing Dawn talk dirty. Holding the both of their tools with her right hand, she slowly gave them both a couple of strokes, Libitina letting out a deep sigh of contentment. "You're the only guy I know that would let me do this..." She said lightly. Looking to his eyes, she softly and almost timidly spoke, bringing her face closer to his.
"...And that's one of the reasons why I love you..." She closed her eyes, softly pressing her lips to his, Kid finding himself kissing her back, closing his eyes. As they kissed, Libitina gave their members a few more strokes, the tip of Kid's tool a little slick from Libitina's pre-cum. Kid's heart was pounding, and after another moment of kissing Libitina, he suddenly realized what he was doing. Just as he was about to push Libitina way, she pulled away, her face looking pretty lustful. "Kid, I, um...I'm gonna go to that alley across the street and jerk off. I have to, I really do..." As she spoke her words, she nodded her head off to the right, in the direction of an alleyway to the left of the Highwayman. She glanced downwards one more time, smiling happily, looking back up to Kid's eyes as she said "Looks like you're still bigger than me, though. I'm only a touch bigger right now because my legs are around you, it's sticking mine a little higher up 'cause my butt isn't on the exact same level as your's. Oh, and, sorry about getting my stuff on you."
Not slipping her stiff member into her panties, she slipped her legs out from behind him, moving back in the backseat. On her hands and knees beside him, he heard her mumble "Never done this before, but it should be okay..." She brought her head near his tool, gently grasping his hard length with her right hand. Kid gasped out her name just before she snaked her tongue over the tip of his tool, licking up her pre-cum from him in one movement. Kid shuddered. Libitina smiled and pulled back then, unabashedly saying "There. You're clean. Just hang out here and let the face paint dry, I'm gonna go jack off. Be back before you know it." Kid watched her as she crawled into the driver's seat, pushing open the door beside her, getting out. She gave Kid a wink through the window beside him as she closed the door, smiling naughtily. She glanced left and right and, upon not seeing anyone anywhere, simply began to walk off towards the nearby alley, her revealed member bobbing and swaying with every one of her steps. Kid let out a deep sigh once she had started to walk away, almost sinking into the backseat, shutting his eyes as he pulled his boxers up over his hard manhood. Doing up his pants once more, he though "Well, at least she isn't angry or upset this time..."
Harlot and Cain took about fourty minutes to make their way into the city by foot, avoiding streets littered with decaying bodies. When they ran across a small group of people, they asked them where they could find the porn studio. The group instantly pulled their pistols and told Harlot and Cain that if they didn't help fix up the city, they'd have to leave, and if they didn't want to leave, they'd get shot. As if practising some long-held routine, Harlot casually pulled her shirt up, flashing the group, most of the group being distracted for a second due to the group being predominantly male. Using that second, Cain turned his flamethrower on the group, spraying death all over them. Harlot pulled her shirt down as the group fell down amid the flames, trying desperately to roll around and kill the fires clinging to their clothes.
"We better get out of here. Someone might've heard the screams." Cain said. Harlot nodded, the two of them slinking off into a nearby alley. Sneaking deeper and deeper into the city, it didn't take long for them to come across another group, which had been going through the alley. Thinking fast, Harlot raised a hand and smiled, speaking in a friendly tone. "Hey, we're looking for the porn studio? We're supposed to help clean the place up." One of the men of the group pointed a thumb to his left, saying "Head out there to the street and take a right, then your first left. In a few minutes, what's left o' the Shark Club will come up, past that is the Jungle Gym. Right across the street from it is the Golden Globes." Harlot smiled more, saying "Thanks." She and Cain walked off and exited the alleyway, following the man's directions, heading for the studio.
Libitina returned to the Highwayman several minutes later, her face flush with red as she got back into the Highwayman. She crawled into the backseat, sitting by Kid once more. Before she said anything, she turned to the side, lifting a leg up on to the backseat by her jars of face paint. Lying back, she brought her head down to Kid's lap, resting the back of her head over his thighs. She smiled up at him. "I'm back." She said softly. Kid smiled, raising an eyebrow. She reached over and took his right hand, bringing it down to her stomach, smiling more as she held his hand against herself. Hardly a second later, her eyes widened, Libitina saying "Oh, I never pulled out my mirror for you! One second!" She sat up, releasing his hand, Kid pulling his hand away from her stomach. She grabbed her bundle of robe-armour, reaching into the pocket over the stomach of the garment. She pulled out her small mirror, handing it to Kid. He looked at it, looking to his face. Libitina had made a yellow lightning bolt under each of his eyes, the bolts pointing down towards his cheeks.
Over his forehead, she had painted an almost labyrinthine design in blue, painting some blue down over the bridge of his nose, as well. In orange, she had painted eyes over his cheeks, the eyes rather detailed and creative. "Like it?" She asked. Kid smiled a little. "Yeah, it's good." He said. Libitina smiled more, taking her jars of face paint, pushing them all into the pocket of her robe-armour, Kid putting her mirror back in. She rested her head down in his lap once more, looking up to his face with a smile and bedroom eyes. Kid brought his right hand over to Libitina's stomach again, Libitina raising a hand and resting it over his. They looked to one another's eyes for a few seconds before Kid rested his head back and closed his eyes, Libitina closing her eyes, the both of them listening to the radio in silence. They had listened to the radio for a few minutes before they both heard a knocking on the window to their left. Kid opened his eyes and looked over, Libitina opening her eyes, as well. There stood a man Kid didn't recognize. He had light skin, like Kid and Libitina.
He was dressed in a white muscle shirt, an unbuttoned black shirt with long sleeves over it. He was wearing a pair of thick black pants, looking like they belonged to a set of combat armour, metal protective plates all along his thighs, knees, and calves. He wore a pair of dark hiking boots, laced up tight. A ring was on his left thumb, being a piece of shining silver with a black design along it's center, the design looking like barbed wire. A tattoo went up along the right side of his face, looking like a black skeletal hand reaching up from the side of his neck. The pinky of the skeletal hand pointed towards his upper lip from his cheek, the ring finger towards his nose, the middle finger towards his right eye, the index finger towards his right eyebrow, and the thumb pointing to the side, towards his right sideburn. His hair was thick and dark brown, combed back. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses, the frames of the glasses being pure black, the lenses being deep red like freshly spilt blood. Because of his sunglasses, Kid couldn't see what the colour of the man's eyes were.
In his hands, he held a flamethrower. "Where's Dawn?" He asked calmly. "Who're you?" Kid asked. "We're friends of Dawn's. We heard she was in town, so we decided to drop by and pay her a visit." A feminine voice said from the other side of the car, Kid looking over to his right, Libitina sitting up and looking at the woman. Her skin was light, like the other three. She was dressed in a dark blue pair of jeans, a small rip going up along the left pantleg until the middle of her calf, where it stopped. She was wearing a low-cut nightgown of silver colouring, roughly torn off at the waist so it was more or less a shirt. It had thin straps going over her shoulders, the fabric in general being a bit translucent, faintly revealing her body. She was wearing a jean jacket over the torn nightgown, the material being a dark blue colour, the sleeves ripped off at the elbows. Her black leather belt had small silver studs along it, a few of them missing but most of them being in place. She was wearing a black leather fingerless glove on her left hand, not having the matching one for her other hand. On the back of the glove was a small white skull. She was wearing a pair of black shoes, the shoes in relatively good condition.
She was wearing a thin silver chain around her neck, the entire thing being dull and without a shine. She had a rather pretty face, her eyes being light hazel, her lips being lush and plump. Her chest was of about average curves, but her backside was a little more voluptuous. Her eyes were hazel but of a light shade, clearly showing the mixture of green and light brown colours within them. Her hair went down to about her shoulders, being rather straight. The sides of her hair went right down to her shoulders, her bangs styled from the left to the right slightly, going near her right ear. Thin streaks of blonde went through her bangs, as well. In her hands, she held a Ruger, a weapon that looked like a rifle but wasn't exactly as long as one. Libitina's eyes went wide when she saw the woman, her breathing growing erratic, but she didn't react otherwise. Kid was a little surprised. This woman looked a little familiar. Her dark hair and some of her facial features, it reminded him of Dawn. Her eyes were a different colour than Dawn's, and she had blonde growing through her bangs, Kid noticing enough differences that he understood why the similarities between the two hadn't stood out right away.
"Why should I trust you?" Kid said. The woman smiled more. "If you don't tell us where she is, we'll kill you and just take the car." The man said. Kid didn't feel very intimidated by the man's words. "The car doesn't have the key inside. It's playing the radio, but it wouldn't run if you tried to take it." He said. The woman said "Well, let's check inside the studio. She might be in there." The man nodded, the both of them heading over to the nearby entrance to the studio. By then, Libitina's breathing had begun to worry Kid. "Libby? You okay?" He asked. Libitina snapped her head to the side, looking at Kid over her shoulder with wide eyes. "It's Cain and Harlot!!" She hissed, nearly screaming. She suddenly started to scramble about in the backseat, digging through the bags in the footspace by the both of them, seemingly looking for something. The names were barely familiar to Kid, like he had heard them once, long ago. "So?" Kid said. Libitina's expression was almost insane as she babbled "They're the ones that kept me prisoner for a few days after I first woke up!! They beat me and raped me, and it's because of them that I grew my..."
Libitina clenched her teeth hard for a few seconds as she found the bag where Dawn kept her spare weapons. She grabbed a pair of Wakizashi blades, grabbing a spare combat shotgun, as well. "Whoa, Libby, what're you doing?" Kid said. After checking to make sure the shotgun was loaded, Libitina looked over to Kid, her left eye twitching for a second. "I'll fucking kill them!" She hissed. Kid was growing more and more worried with every second. "They must not have recognized me because of my makeup..." Libitina muttered darkly, pushing open the passenger's side door. "Libby!" Kid said, following after her. She pushed the Wakizashi blades down into her pants, over her sides. "I have to!" She said, her eyes going dark with fury. Kid didn't realize it yet, but Libitina had already started to lose herself to another psychotic episode, like she had back in Rister. No amount of words would reason with her, not while Cain and Harlot were still alive and nearby.
Cain and Harlot walked into the studio, glancing towards Rocky's office. Harlot stepped over to it, glancing within, not seeing a single soul. "That door over there." Harlot said, pointing towards the door across from the entrance. Cain walked over, raising a foot, nudging open the door, which had already been open a crack. Beyond, about ten people were moving about, cleaning up any little debris there was as well as cleaning up blood and bits of gore, leaving the removal of the bodies as the last task. Cain stepped into the room, followed by Harlot. Harlot raised her weapon, firing four rapid rounds into the ceiling of the building. Everyone froze and looked over. Harlot and Cain both smiled smugly. "Where's Dawn? Ruby-Red? Where is she?" Cain quickly glanced along everyone in the room, spotting Dawn off to the right. She had been cleaning blood from a spot in a section of carpeting, off to the right. Down on a knee, she looked over to the two of them with wide eyes. Despite being grown up now and no longer a little girl, Dawn recognized who Harlot was. "There." Cain said, nodding towards Dawn. Harlot looked over, narrowing her eyes. Before anybody could do anything however, Libitina suddenly burst into the room, her eyes wide and her teeth grit tight, the girl out for blood.
Cain glanced over his shoulder just as Libitina pointed the shotgun at his backside from point-blank range. She began to blow shotgun shells into the small of his back, blowing through his organs, spraying blood out on the air. He dropped his flamethrower, gritting his teeth and screwing his eyes shut tight, twisting around and collapsing to the ground. "Cain!" Harlot cried, her eyes going wide as she twisted her head over, seeing her partner fall. Dawn started to race over, moving as quickly as she could, Harlot raising her weapon to Libitina, her face furious. She burst a good five bullets into Libitina's stomach, Libitina instantly spitting up blood and letting it run down her chin. Seemingly unfazed by the bullets, she dropped her shotgun, drawing her blades. She let out a maniacal laugh, crying out "You don't scare me, Harlot!!" Harlot's eyes widened, realization dawning on her. Looking past Libitina's disguising face paint, she remembered who she was as well as what she and a few others had done to her. Libitina charged for Harlot, Harlot firing another two bullets at Libitina, hitting her in her right arm, forcing her arm off to the side and making Libitina lose her grip on, and subsequently toss away, one of her blades.
Still armed with a blade, Libitina reached Harlot at the same time Dawn did. Libitina jammed her blade into Harlot's stomach, causing her eyes to go wide, a pained gasp crossing her lips. Dawn grabbed Harlot in her arms, pulling her away from Libitina as she twisted the blade, Libitina giggling like mad as she stared at her blade, blood dripping from it rapidly. Dawn eased Harlot down to the ground, to her back. Seeing that Libitina was heavily wounded, Kid sprinted back to the Highwayman as fast as he could, practically slamming in the car's side when he reached it. Libitina attempted to come over Harlot, wanting to stab her some more, but Dawn viciously pushed Libitina back, knocking her flat on her ass a few feet away from Harlot. Libitina was surprised, but she just looked to her knife, smiling happily as she watched the blood drip from it. Her clothes were rapidly growing dark with blood, Libitina's eyes going sleepy. "What the fuck are you doing up here in New Reno?!" Dawn furiously said to Harlot, tears filling her eyes. Harlot smiled, her mouth hanging open a little.
She was spitting up a bit of crimson as she said "So...You do remember me...Heh heh..." Kid sprinted back into studio, dropping to his knees by Libitina so hard that, under his pants, he tore off quite a large amount of skin. His eyes wide and tearful, he tore open Dawn's medical bag, finding a Super Stimpack. He grabbed Libitina's right arm, Libitina weakly dropping her bloody blade. Kid remained silent, but his eyes were filled with tears. He fastened the brace of the Super Stimpack to Libitina's forearm. Libitina was looking to his face calmly, her mouth hanging open a little, her eyes a little dull. "Why aren't you down with mom?! What the fuck are you doing up here?!" Dawn demanded, her voice beginning to sound more choked with sadness than twisted in rage. Harlot grinned for a moment, speaking around a mouthful of blood as she said "I could...Ask you the same thing..." Dawn looked over to Kid, saying "Kid, toss me some stimpacks!!" Kid reached into the bag, grabbing every stimpack he could see, grabbing four. Tossing them over to Dawn, they clattered across the floor, landing near Dawn. The Super Stimpack shot it's needle down into Libitina, Libitina flinching lightly for a moment.
Dawn cradled Harlot close, getting her head up in her lap. "Just stay with me, Rose! I can help you!!" Harlot kept smiling, staring up at the ceiling of the room quietly. Libitina began to shake and convulse, shutting her eyes tight, the Super Stimpack's powerful medicine flooding her system and causing her wounds to rapidly begin to close. Fishing around inside the medical bag, Kid found just one last stimpack, using it on Libitina before tossing the spent object away, unfastening and throwing away the Super Stimpack, as well. She was panting gently, but within a few seconds, her wounds had almost entirely closed. She had leaked a lot of blood, but she appeared to be fine. She grabbed Kid in a tight hug, shutting her eyes tight, burying her face in the side of his neck. Dawn quickly used the stimpacks on Harlot, Harlot beginning to weep as her wounds closed. Cain was dead, but his death was only a part of her pain. The rest of her pain was brought on by the fact that the sister she had come to kill had just saved her life.
Tossing away the spent stimpacks, Dawn helped Harlot sit upright. Everyone else in the studio, Rocky included, simply stood and stared, glad that they hadn't been caught in the fight yet now not knowing what to do. "Why the hell are you here? Tell me everything, Rose!" Dawn asked. Harlot spoke softly, looking to Dawn's eyes, saying "After you left, mom went crazy...She blamed me for you leaving...She started to eat all the food she could, she wouldn't give me any...It only went on for a week though, before she ended up getting herself killed." Dawn softly said "Mom's dead?..." Harlot nodded. "She went to a big party, where everyone was gangbanging any chick that showed up. Mom was the last girl to leave, but the last couple of assholes at the party cut her throat after they were done with her instead of paying her for everything that had gone on. Once I realized she wasn't coming home, I joined up with a gang, but that didn't last long before I set out to look for you." Harlot looked down to her knees, saying "I never found you. I went around and did some shit until I was around thirteen, then I joined up with the slavers. Been there for three and a half years, now."
Harlot looked to Dawn's eyes with a bit of darkness yet a bit of shame. "I started hating you while I was with the slavers. I hated you for leaving me alone, you left like dad and Terry did...Why didn't you bring me with you when you left?..." Dawn spoke softly and apologetically, saying "Rose, I had no choice...I didn't tell you at the time, but mom wanted to drug me so some pervert could fuck me in my sleep...He was offering her a thousand caps, but I wasn't going to let some random guy be my first lay. I couldn't take you with me, I was too young to go off alone, I nearly died in the wasteland before a merchant caravan found me and took me north. You were younger than me, you might've died out there with me before the caravan would've found us...I'm sorry..." Tears were slowly running down Harlot's cheeks, but her voice remained steady. "...There's a contract out for you. I took it because I wanted to kill you, but I also wanted to see you one last time." She admitted. Dawn looked downwards, saying nothing for several seconds. "...I guess I can't really blame you." She said softly.
Harlot looked to Dawn's face, saying "The guy's in Illust. He wants you dead because he wants your car. He wrote in the contract that he'd approach whoever showed up in a Highwayman, so if you go up there, you can kill him easily." Dawn was silent for a few seconds before looking to Harlot's eyes. "Might not be that simple." She said. She looked over to the side, looking to Kid and Libitina. She had been about to ask if Libitina was alright, but she could see that Libitina was fine. Looking back to Harlot, she asked "You really wanted to kill me?..." Harlot quietly said "Yes..." She started to get up, her face beginning to grow angry as she said "But I think I'm justified in that! You ran away, you left me alone in that fuckin' city!" Dawn stood up, watching Harlot quietly, her face depressed and twinged with shame. Harlot began to cry more as she spoke, her voice starting to tighten up with emotion as she walked towards Cain's body. "You made our mom snap when you left, you're the very source of her death! You left me to rot in that place, all alone!" Tears rolled down Dawn's cheeks as she pleadingly said "How was I supposed to know that mom would die like that, and I couldn't have taken you, I just couldn't!"
Harlot walked over to Cain's body, Libitina seeming almost oblivious to her, Kid glaring at her as Libitina continued to hug him. Harlot squatted down and began to take two mementos from his body. First, she took his ring, wearing it on her left thumb. Then, she took his sunglasses, slipping them over her eyes. Slipping his eyelids down, she kissed his right cheek before standing back up. Turning around and looking to Dawn, she reached into a pocket on her jacket, pulling out a folded-up piece of paper. She tossed it towards Dawn, the paper falling to the floor. "There. A copy of your bounty. He wrote that he expected you in New Reno or Rister, and the price for your head is pretty high, so I'd expect some tough mercenaries to come after you. If I were you, I'd get the hell out of town, fast." Harlot glared at Libitina with contempt for a moment as she headed towards the nearby exit. "Wait, don't just leave, Rose! We haven't seen each other in years, I-" Harlot looked over to Dawn, her eyes now invisible thanks to Cain's sunglasses. "Dawn, let me stop you right there. I love you, and I always will...But I hate you for everything that's happened. I don't want us to cross paths again...I see enough of you and the others in my dreams..."
Dawn went quiet, her mouth hanging open a little, her eyes red as tears continued to flow down her cheeks. She hung her head down as Harlot left, Harlot crying like Dawn was, only her eyes were angry. She felt a finger over Cain's ring for a moment, silently pledging to never forget him. Dawn tried to stifle her sobs, but it was an almost impossible goal. She slowly began to leave the studio, Libitina looking up from Kid's neck, seemingly noticing something for the first time since she had started hugging Kid. "Dawn!..." Kid said. He looked to Libitina. She nodded with a small smile. She knew he wanted to see her, she knew that Dawn needed to see him. With their connection, nobody else would do. They released one another, Kid getting up to his feet, running after Dawn. She was standing beside the Highwayman's right side, her jaw shaking as she tried to stop herself from crying, wanting to do anything other than show weakness, even if it meant damaging herself through bottling her emotions. Kid ran up to her, grabbing her in a hug from behind.
Dawn pulled away from Kid, getting into the Highwayman's backseat. Kid followed after her, sadness filling him from seeing Dawn so visibly upset. He couldn't remember a time where he had seen her so shaken, aside from the moment where the two had reunited with one another in Vault 17, months after her death. Kid got in the backseat with her, shutting the door behind him. Dawn murmured a few incoherent words before Kid grabbed her in a tight hug, holding her tight to him. Dawn held him back, and after a few seconds, her attempts to hide her emotions failed. Dawn Darkwater, the seemingly invincible woman whose exploits put her in a category far above most others, began to cry and sob without shame. Her emotions pouring forth like a raging waterfall, she buried her face into Kid's chest, crying harder than she had in several years. Kid wrapped his arms around Dawn's shoulders, feeling her bring her arms around his waist, Kid feeling her body tremble and shake pitifully as she wept...
