[color=aba000][u][b]Steve Cooper- Church [/b][/u][/color] [b]“El...Eliza, Eliza, Eliza, ELIZA!!!” [/b] Steve turned around to see that Shelby girl (or “sherbet” as he had nicknamed her after that per-war food type) who seemlying knew Eliza... and likely more than friends judging by the fact she had pretty much rushed over and groped her. Blindly the sherbet reached out with one hand and pulled the Waylon guy (still no good nickname for him.) down and hugged him whilst apologising for something “Hey where's... My Hug?... I’m the one who carried her here.” Steve chuckled, still abit out of breath. The sherbet and Eliza then talked for a few movements; it appeared that Eliza had left sherbet for some reason in the past but judging by Eliza’s reply it was likely done to keep her or perhaps someone safe but now sherbet was the only one left... [i] Wonder if this has to with her being shot? Will have to keep an eye out. [/i] Steve then turned and looked at overcoat “perhaps we should leave them for abit.” Heading downstairs with overcoat Steve lighted up a smoke, offering one to overcoat he looked up at the remarkable intact “Cross” on the wall behind the preacher’s little stand or whatever that thing was call. Supposedly the guy being hung up and left to die it was the son of god or some nonsense and had “died” a very very long time ago to make the world better. [i]Well that didn’t seem to work very well. [/i] “11 years ago, Downtown DC... the capital building.” “The Talon Company had been hired to clean out the super mutants there... don’t know who by or why that was above my paycheck but whoever it was could afford sending a whole fucking company.... “ [i]Probably those enclave guys... No else would give a toss about a per-war government non-military building [/i] “Battle went on for weeks, shiton of mercs, mutie and even a few tin-cans caught in the crossfire died and we probably wrecked the place more than the bombs did but for the most part my squad, Delta remained intact but then... my friend... and squad sniper Samantha was shot.” “It was only a small wound in the leg and she stubbornly said she was okay but should have ordered her to the doc..” Steve stated as he began to wander around the church, looking at the remaining holy symbols/art along with the occasional look at the window towards the dinner [i]Alot of new people have arrived [/i] “But no I was too focused on the mission, I wanted that fucking behemoth dead and I needed Sam to do it... Mutie bastard had kill alot of mercs and main reason why the mutants hadn't been cleaned out yet... whoever’s team killed the fucker was bound to get a promotion...” [i]And be the guy doing the ordering for once.[/i] “Turns out the bullet had hit something important... we where right in the middle of trapping that behemoth when Sam collapsed and without her we failed to killed the behemoth, who then went onto massacre the entire 4th and 5th platoons before that Vault kid showed up and shot it.” [i] Wonder what happened with that kid... sort just disappeared [/i] “By some fucking miracle of that guy.” Steve said as he pointed at the guy on the cross “I survived the capital attack... I lied about what happened and was praised for a “successful mission” fuck I was even bloody promoted. Talon company didn't care about the losses, only that the job was done.” “I know that I freaked out earlier on but what happened with Eliza reminded me of Sam... And I didn’t want that happening again..”
