Fallout: The Ruined York (Open and Accepting)

[Zahzi]

Both Rud and Brad were unusually quiet.......  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

Alex paid no attention, thinking they were giving her privacy.

A few minutes later, she walked out of the house.

"Alright guys." She sighed, her eyes closed as she bent down to pick up her box.
"We can go now."  

[Zahzi]

Becasue she did not notice, Slade was waiting on the other side of the door.........  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"You know... Brad, you can talk." Alex sighed, only speaking to him because Deathclaws don't talk in her world.

"You don't have to be a frigging mute." She grumbled, bumping right into Slade, which made her eyes shoot open.

". . .Oh. . . Uh. . ." She stammered, staring right at him with her eyes wide.

".........Master..?" HK tilted his head, not lowering his guns away from Brad or Rud. "What are you doing here..?"  

[Zahzi]

"DO YA HAVE TO POINT THE GUNS AT US!?"

"Why did you leave the city?"  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Did you have to kidnap my Master?" HK asked, his fingers pulling slightly on the trigger. Not enough to fire, but his point was still clear.

"...I had to pick up family heirlooms." Alex answered bluntly, lifting and lowering the box.
"I knew you would never let me get these things back, so I went on my own."  

[Zahzi]

"I didn't kidnap her! All I did was make sure she wasn't Guai chow!" Brad barked, pointing the shield at HK.

"So you went with full knowledge you'd get hurt?"  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Riiiiiiiiiiight. LIES!" HK barked.
"Master fears Deathclaws! She'd never travel with one - wild or tame!"

"Yes. Brad and Rud ESCORTED me." Alex sighed, hoping to call off HK.

"And I never got hurt." She lied. "When the Wolves attacked, they made it their priority to protect me."  

[Zahzi]

"SEE!?"

"And your foot?"  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"LIES!!"

". . .There's nothing wrong with my foot."  

[Zahzi]

"Stand on it. Without a limp." Slade said, staring down at her.

"SHE JUST SAID IT YA RETARDED BUCKET OF BOLTS!"  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"My Master would NEVER travel with the likes of you, or your Deathclaw!"

Alex let out a heavy sigh, before leaning onto her other foot, standing on both feet evenly.  

[Zahzi]

Brad had a twitch in his eye before a wrench appeared.

Slade then placed his hand on her shoulder, pressing down and adding more pressure to the foot.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Take one step and I fill you full of holes, Cheese."

Alex gave no reaction. She focused all of her attention into clenching her jaw, unseen to anyone's eye.  

[Zahzi]

Slade added even more pressure.

The shield was still pointed at HK...
