Chapter Text
The last thing Nathan saw before being frozen again was two people trying to take Shaun out of the chamber and out of Nora's arms.
Nathan at first assumed one was a doctor trying to get Shaun away from Nora to test them both for radiation and test Shaun for any conditions, but as soon as he saw the second one with a scar the left side of his face take out a revolver and threaten Nora he bashed the glass trying to escape until he heard a loud bang and saw blood dripple from Nora's head he cried his lungs out and began to cry.
"Get the kid out of here!" The balding man with the revolver ordered to the figure before turning to notice Nathan bashing the glass and crying.
"At least we still have the backup." He added before walking off and freezing Nathan again.
Nathan woke up to hear the chamber opening and as soon as it did he collapsed gasping for air and walking through Vault 111 seeing skeletons of fellow Vault citizens and staff as well as overgrown cockroaches.
He went to the blast door at the Vaults entrance to try and open the heavy steel door before noticing he needed a Pip-boy 1000 to survive and for some reason open the blast door, luckily there was one next to him on the skeleton of the doctor he and Nora met when the first Chinese nuclear bombs dropped on America.
"Uhh, disgusting." Nate remarked strapping the Pip-boy on his left arm and pulling out a plug and accessing the controls of the door.
After opening the door and currently on the rising elevator Nate checked his Pip-Boy for radiation levels on the surface, knowing from his time in Anchorage, Alaska the effects of Gamma radiation on land for a certain amount of years.
As the Elevator rose to the surface of what was Sanctuary Hills Nate fell on his knees shocked at the ruins of his community and thinking of the people, the children who didn't make it into a Vault.
He survived the brutal conditions and fighting in Anchorage and he soon remembered the fighting and dead faces of many American men some eighteen forced into the war by the draft, nothing struck him like watching his wife murdered, his son abducted and his home in ruins and the thought of everyone he knew dead.
Walking through the ruins of the town he fell to his knees but then heard something mechanical nearby.
Investigating the noise he saw his now rusty English robot butler Codsworth.
The robot turned all three eyes then its whole body and moved towards the Vault dweller.
"Mr Washington, is that you?" It asked.
"Codsworth what are you doing?"
"I've been awaiting your and Mrs Washington's arrival back home with young master Shaun. I've been trying my best to keep the place clean and organised for the Two hundred and four years you've been away."
"Wait I've been awake for over a hundred years?!" Nate shouted looking around losing his grip on reality after being told he's been frozen for over two centuries.
"I did however see a gentleman and a person carrying a small baby a while ago, I'm unfortunately not sure when though my data on that has been deleted, Concord is the nearest town they may have information on Shaun and Nora there." Codsworth said before realising his master had run off to Concord.
Nate ran and ran towards the town before hearing gunshots, taking out his 10mm pistol he ducked under a few sandbags before seeing someone on the balcony on the museum firing a laser rifle at some people shouting out for help.
