Nick winced at the imagery that came to his mind when Alice described what would happen if she consumed watermelon. He imagined two things. It gets stuck, it rots inside. Nick had tried eating noodles once when he first got to diamond city, and it did not end well.

One minute he’s fine, the next minute he’s convulsing on the ground because the noodles clogged his vents, and he overheated. Nick wondered if Alice remembered what food tasted like, or if, like him, as time went on those memories faded.

One thing that Nick also wondered, but didn’t ask, was if Alice had to worry about manually breathing, or if it was still an automatic function in her body.

Speaking of breathing, Nick is glad that he has an artificial respiratory system.

That would make it ten times harder for people to not be wary of him. Well anymore than they already are.

“Well that doesn’t sound pleasant.”

Nick says.

“Seems to me what you don’t understand is I’m not leaving here without Ellie!” Nick shouts. As he fought through the Gunners, he felt rage creeping up on him. Nick takes a breath. No. I have to keep a level head.

Nick calms himself.

“Give it up Synth! You and your friend is as good as dead!”

Nick pulls the trigger only to hear a click coming from the gun. Oh shit.

Okay Nick. Think. What are your options?

Option one, you could try to get some more bullets for your gun.

“Uh genius, how are you planning on doing that without someone coming up and shooting you from behind?”

Nick blinks. Yeah, that’s a good point.

Option two, I could sneak away from here when they’re not looking.

“Buddy, I doubt they’re going to give you that opportunity.”

Nick sighs. Yeah, that’s a good point too.

Option three, I could run directly in the line of fire. It’s risky, but so is saying here.

“Well shit. I’m not sure if you’re bold, desperate or just fucking stupid.”

Nick rolls his eyes.

Shut the hell up Kellogg.

“So make a decision then asshat.”

Nick crouches low to the ground, making sure to be as quiet as possible. The last thing he needed was to draw any unwanted attention. As he snuck around, he checked the corpses for ammo. Nothing, nothing, nothing, there!

It wasn’t a lot of bullets, but it was better than none.

Nick goes over towards the elevator to the overpass. Once he was standing inside, he pressed the button, taking a much needed breath.

Nick watched as the elevator ascended. Hand gripped on the gun, he kept his eye out for hostiles. They seemed gone for now, but he didn’t buy it. This was way too easy.

MUSE/OC IN FIVE GIFS - Fallout edition

Tbh I was just surprised I got tagged in something

Alright so since I'm writing that blind!sole and protective!hancock fic-and I'm almost done btw-i thought it'd be a perfect opportunity to introduce you to some of Danai!!! I'm using her since she's easier to write than some rando Nora/Nate. (And yes she's named after the marvel actor ((read:queen)) Danai Gurira herself.)

I'm supposed to tag some other people ig but I'm lazy tired so. :/

If any of you want to do it just do it. But tag me! I love seeing other people's OCs!!

Nick frowns at her answer. He hated that she’d gotten so hurt when they were separated. It’s why he typically travels alone, because it was only his back he had to watch out for. Mind you, he appreciates Alice’s help, but still.

“Probably wouldn’t hurt to give them a once over.” He says. Walking over to the corpses, he starts checking for anything he could use: screw drivers, stimpacks, ammo. He’d considered taking backup weapons, but he wasn’t a fan of melee weapons, and other weapons just weren’t the same.

"Myrna... Myrna... Aw shit. That's that human that runs the shop. Welp, so much for asking questions there. Uh... Not that there's anything wrong with humans. Eh heh. Do you know where the shipments were supposed to be coming from?"

Sure, it was a long shot, but if he got that information then it might bring him closer to finding answers, or he'd be wasting his time and getting the woman killed. Assuming she isn't dead already. He's still not convinced by the story the husband is selling.

Nick twiddles his thumbs as he waits for an answer. Well, what resembles thumbs anyway.

Soon he would have to leave the city and start searching for answers, so he needed pointers if he was going to find the woman in time.

Nick put his arms against his torso. He wasn’t sure if he’d told her this information, so he decided to ask it.

“Um... did I ever explain that a prewar human’s brain was uploaded into me by the institute? You’re going to need that information in order for what I’m going to say to make sense.”

Nick waited for her to process the information before continuing.

“I think... the prewar human I share memories with may have come across your kind. When I first became conscious, for lack of a better word, I kept getting flashes of a notebook with what I thought at the time were the thoughts of a madman. Some of the notes had a pattern to them. Creature of the night, human blood drinkers. The words "living dead" with question marks."

It did beg the question though. What happened to the notebook?

Nick blinks.

Ellie frowned.

“Oh... uh alright. Let’s see if there’s somewhere we can stop. Ellie’s safe, so we can slow a bit.”

Ellie raised an eyebrow.

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

“It means we can slow down. I wasn’t going to stop until I found you.”

Ellie frowned.

"Nick..."

"What?"

"I appreciate you looking for me, but you gotta take care of yourself too.

I know you don't sleep but even you need to take a load off."

"Fine, but right now we need to find a place to stop."

Ellie sighs.

"You're right. We'll discuss this later."

"Call me crazy, but I'm starting to think your friend isn't completely human." Kellogg says.

Nick squints.

"Seriously? That's your theory? That's stupid."

Ellie frowns when Nick squinted.

"Are you okay?"

"What? Yeah, I'm fine."

Nick's eyes widened when she starts biting into her bag.

"Hey whoa!"

He starts trying to take it from her. Before he had a chance to say anything more, teeth locked onto his metal hand.

Oh shit!

He watched as she moved the bag away from him. Twisting the palm, he checked it for any damage.

"What are you doing here?"

Nick frowned when he heard a wheeze.

He watched as blood left the corner of her mouth.

She thinks she broke a tooth? Um... okay. A gum wound? What the hell?

"Stop me if I'm being ridiculous. Do you get nutrition from blood?"

"Also does the sun hurt you, or are you just Nocturnal?"

Most people would be freaked out by blood coming out of her mouth, but well, he's not really people is he? Not in the biological sense anyway.

"Sorry I'm asking too many questions at once. Why don't I let you talk?"

Nick laughs awkwardly.

"They look better on you anyway."

Slipping the garmets off, Nick hands them over to Alice.

When Ellie sees Nick, tears pour in her eyes. Ellie pulls him in for a hug.

"God I was afraid I'd never see you again!"

Nick wipes the tears from her eyes.

"I wasn't gonna let that happen El."

"Shit, are you okay? Are you injured?" Ellie asks, looking at both of them.

"Ellie, I'm fine. Take a breath." Nick says.

"What about you?" Ellie asks, gestering towards Alice.

Nick sighs with relief. He'd barely had time to calm down during this whole thing. All he could focus on was Ellie.

Now though there was another matter. Checking up on Alice.

"Need any stimpacks?"
