As John was opening his eyes he was attacked by large bright lights shining into his eyes, and as he realizing he was still alive he asked System how he was alive and where he was, 'System what happened after I fell unconscious?' *Ding.. my System had to run an emergency subprotocol in order to slow down both brain and heart functions in order for you to keep living, as the second question I have no idea where we are properly located as hosts eyes were shut and was unable to see where the children moved us to. My System also kept hearing active and only caught only some words like a bomb in town center and a name of someone or something called Atom and that was all sorry host* 'Its ok System you tried you're best so let's see what's going on shall we' As John fully open his eyes he tried to survey his surroundings and by doing so he noticed he was in a room surrounded by medical equipment, bloody rags and bandages inside buckets and other surgical tools. As he was getting up from the bed he was currently laying on he was suddenly hit by a sharp pain coming from his right side of his ribs and when he looked he saw a jagged stitches just inches below his armpit going towards the right side of his chest. While looking at the jagged stitching he heard a voice call out from the doorway, "About damn time you got up, you've been bleeding and taking up most of my supplies for a week now so I hope you can pay mister 'Hero'. Look you owe me some caps and you owe the girl an apology for for bleeding everywhere."

As I looked up I saw Doc Chruch just staring at me after giving me a lecture about what happened. As I was about to answer him we both heard a door swing opened in a rush and when I saw it was the eldest girl from the group I rescued run towards me and tackles me back onto the bed making my side burn with pain. I was wondering what the hell was going on until I heard the girl crying against my chest I looked up at Doc and he just walked away shaking his while mumbling about how young people these days are. I looked at her and smiled but soon after a minute past the pain in my side started up again and I had to calmly push her to the side and as I did this she noticed she was squeezing me to right.

The girl then said, "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to tackle you it's been so long since I felt free I'm truly thankful for that and also for saving those kids that were stuck there too." As she said that she realized she gotten to close to him, so she pulled away and stood up while looking away with a blush on her face. John just chuckled a bit then he introduced himself, "My names John and it's fine, and by the way I never caught you're name?" when he asked this the girl realized she never gave him her name and felt like a bit embarrassed of not giving her name out to him. "My name Anna Green and I came from little lamplight before the slavers captured me and some of the kid's that lived there." She looked down when she said so I lefted my hand up to her head and then proceeded to pat her on the her head. When she felt that she looked up and I just showed her a smile and told her it was going to be ok now and she shouldn't worry about it and just try to help the kids now.

After a while we talked about what all happened and what's now going on now then we parted ways and after she left I check the System to buy a few thousand bottle caps so I could have enough to pay Doc Chruch which I had to pay or 1000 caps for his service and then he told me to talk it easy for now on, I noticed under all that jack off attitude he actually cares about his patients. When I looked into to the mirror I saw my appearance had a somewhat of roguish look with my hair being some what of a mixture of being short on the sides and back while having a bedhead spike top something like a fawkes haircut with three lines cutting deep into my hair expressing three jagged scars that healed, I next putting on my pip-boy device and fingerless gloves while sporting a white tshirt with my Vault tec combat jacket and cargo pants tucked into my combat boots.

As I stepped out I grabbed my gear and slung my rifle across my back and putting the pistol holster on my right thigh I looked for my vest but was told it had to be cut in order to stop the bleeding and stitch up my side 'shit that was a good vest I guess I'll try to buy one at Craterside supply up above me...' as I trailed off I got to see the new megaton right in front of me and it was a lot bigger compared to the original. They had more houses and stores than the old style of megaton plus the saloon was upgraded to bigger and wider. I was still amazed after seeing it all, but that's when I didn't notice people staring at me or rather the big 101 on the back of my jacket and realized I was an outsider or more like a wanderer here.
