Chapter Text
“Theodore Altman, scout recon of the 26th division, you are sentenced to exile for sabotage of other members.”
Those were the last words that the Elder of his BoS chapter said. Teddy could barely if at all hear them since all he could hear was his heartbeat. He was scared. Where would he go? He has never left the safety of the bunker. The only idea of the outside world came from the simulations that he used in training.
Teddy was escorted out of the Elder’s chamber and led to his supplies chest were everything he owned was in. It didn’t have much in it but enough for him to get by in the wasteland. He felt singled out, everyone trying to avoid him. They all know what he did. Some didn’t care, most didn’t like it. His “best friend” hated it. Greg was the one to blow it out of proportion, spreading lies about him trying to corrupt him fellow scouts and knights.
He tried to ignore them the best he could, but he could still feel the glares in his direction. He wasn’t used to being the center of attention, even if it’s negative attention. He kept telling himself to look down and never look back, what’s done is done. He could hear someone shout out, “Dead man walking!”
Before reaching the entrance of the bunker, the knight that was his escort informed him that he was allowed one person to say his final goodbyes to and someone already volunteered to be that person. That person was, of course, Greg.
“So the little scout still gets to live? Doesn’t seem right.” Greg said with a smirk.
Teddy didn’t look up or even acknowledge his presents. Teddy never felt weak unless it was around Greg, the man that practically ruined his life.
“You know, if you weren’t every guys bitch, this fate could have been avoided.”
“That’s a lie… it’s all a lie…you lied…”
“It’s a shame your mother is not around to see the success her son turned out to be.”
This got Teddy’s attention. Teddy’s fist was going in full swing until his escort stopped him from breaking a few teeth. Teddy struggled to be free from the knight. He finally wanted to give Greg what he had coming, from all the stunts he’s pulled on Teddy.
After being dragged to the entrance, he was let go and pushed towards the door. With a gun pointed at him, he knew that he couldn’t just try to sneak back in somehow, that point was clear. Teddy just pulled himself together and walked towards the outside world. The large metal door shut with a loud clank and there he knew his life was either going to get better or terribly worse. The way it could be better that he can maybe forget his life in an isolated group of people or it could be worse is that a radscorpion is coming his way.
