Ch11. Death is temporary, permanent if you accept it.

"Not to sound too unreasonable Ava, but what in the hell are you doing out here?" Looking down at the silver haired girl who was snuggling into his chest with a goofy yet happy smile, Alex felt frustration. If her family knew she was here they'd stop at nothing to get her back.

"Hehehe, I came for you silly~~ they said you were missing! But I bet you were just on a mission, still I was worried! So I snuck away, had to make sure you were safe ya know?!" Ava only raised her head long enough to answer, before burying her face back into his armor.

Sighing, Alex looked up at the three girls just standing around with awkward looks on their faces. Also a very angry looking puppy, seriously! Can a dog even pout? Alex could swear the husky was giving Ava a death glare.

"Ava, care to introduce us to this man?" Sunny was the first to speak, quick to wake from her stupor, she felt annoyed seeing Ava hug the stranger before them.

"Mmn, this is Alex, the man I love. Alex, this is my BFF Sunny Smiles, my rootin tootin cowgirl friend Cassidy Rose, and our new addition! Sarah Lyons, she's a little mean but she's good people, also she's like totally the female version of you." After the introduction Ava let out a yelp as Alex quickly stood up and she fell on her soft bottom. Getting up she rubbed the sore spot on her ass and gave Alex a pout.

"Hey mister that wasn't very gentlemanly of you ya know." A lewd smile began to creep onto Ava's face as she looked up at Alex. "You'll have to kiss it to make it feel better, but owww my pussy hurts too, so kiss that as mmmpf—-"

Alex grabbed Ava's face with his whole hand and immediately pushed her aside, however he felt her small wet tongue lick his palm. She was definitely a pervert, just like the memories he recalled in his head. He would need to keep an eye on his door, keep it locked and bolted, else she would definitely violate him.

However, for now his target was the tall girl with black hair in a pony tail. He was going to deal with her first and then the other two, looking at them quickly, Alex realized that this wasn't exact cannon. Probably due to the plethora of mods, including the one that makes Sarah Lyons a companion.

Enough delays, shaking his thoughts from his head, Alex walked towards the girl. Every step made her shrink back, because of Ava's silly display, Sunny forgot the dangerous aura the man had…until now.

"Sunny smiles, daughter of Eugene and Emma smiles? Lives in GoodSprings?" With a quite yet authoritative tone Alex asked her identity to make sure. The girl before him was far more beautiful then any video game character or mod he could install, an effect of living in the world for real no doubt.

The girl nodded. "Ye-yeah, that's me.. do I know you?" Alex shook his head before his face became solemn.

"No but I had the distinct pleasure of knowing your little sister, she told me all about her badass sister, praised you up and down every chance she got." After hearing Alex mention her sister Sunny grabbed his shoulders.

"Where is she! Where's Samantha!" Sunny didn't care how terrifying the man was, but seeing his sudden downcast look, a sinking feeling in her gut began to rise, her vision got blurry as tears threatened to fall.

The man spoke in a soft nearly inaudible whisper as he hugged Sunny. "I'm sorry. She's gone."

"No…no, you're lying! Where is my baby sister! WHERE IS SAMMY!!!" Sunny tried to struggle out of Alex's embrace but couldn't, he was to strong.

"Sunny, it's ok.. I have her with me. Let's go somewhere private ok." Slowly letting the girl go, Alex could see her tear stained cheeks.

Sunny looked up at him, deep into his eyes, she saw the answer she was dreading. His eyes weren't lying, the were watery and sad, almost as like it hurt him to admit that she was dead.

Sunny felt her body go weak, and before she knew it two people were holding her up. "Thanks Sarah, Cass, I don't feel so good." Looking at Alex she spoke up just loud enough for the three girls and Alex too hear her. "Can I see her, I need to know for sure."

Alex nodded. "Let's, but first we need to book a room. I'll clean her up a bit. I don't want you too see her in her current state.

After which, Alex and the girls left the bar and booked a fancy presidential room in the towns hotel. The girls stayed in the living room while Alex went to the large bathroom, quickly he brought out Samantha's remains. Grabbing some clean cloths and towels, Alex freed her body from the town tent fabric.

After careful removing her torn slave garb, Alex began to clean her body with cold water, rinsing out the dirt from her hair. Cleaning under her nails, he brushed her hair and applied some light makeup to the young girls face, before taking out a beautiful white dress from his inventory that he bought in Searchlight for this exact purpose.

After dressing her he took out some lavender lotion he ordered from the federal store on his way to Nipton, he ordered a bunch of necessities, mostly to see how it would work, just like in fallout 4, a beam of lightning delivered it ten feet in front of him.

After it was all said and done, Alex looked down at the beautiful young girls body, a pang of guilt and anger rushed through him. He had to mumble to himself to calm down.

"The Institute should be able to bring you back good as new as a synth, as long as I keep you intact in my Evos inventory. Whether it's the same you or different does not matter." Alex gently brushed her hair with his fingers. "As long as I can have a version of you back, I'll go through a thousand apocalypses to have it, even if it's only for a moment… I promise."

Grabbing a clean large white sheet that he pulled from the main bed when they arrived in the room, Alex gently wrapped Samantha back up before lifting her and walking out to the living room.

The living room went silent as Alex walked out, however, when Sunny saw Alex carrying the wrapped body she suddenly fell onto her knees and began to cry.

Placing her down, the other three girls quickly came over to console Sunny as she held her little sister. Eventually she managed to calm down too the point she just gently caressed her sisters hair.

"I want to bury her back in GoodSprings, next to our parents." Trying to gently life her sisters body, Sunny and the others were then shocked by Alex's response.

"No."

Walking over with heavy foot steps, Alex put his hand on Samantha, her body burst into particles in-front of everyone.

"The hell did you do to her!!!" Sunny lashed out and got up in Alex's face to shout at him. However he kept a calm facade, yet couldn't hide the single tear that escaped his eye and trailed down his cheek. The emotions and memories of two Alex's overwhelmed him.

"Saving her at all costs, there's a place that can bring her back. I intend to bring her there and do just that, violently if necessary." Looking Sunny deep in her eyes, Alex took a deep breath. "She didn't give up on me when death was at my front door, not even death will make me give up on her now!" Alex couldn't tell them that his first fallout was the 4th, that he loved it so much that he then went back and played the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and NewVegas.

So he knew the institute could rebuild her using her genetic material as a base, even her memories could be brought back, at least he hoped. All he needed was the transportalaponder from The Big MT, the right frequency that was used in MIT to test teleportation, which he could get from said Big MT. Then he could just zap himself inside the institute, and ask or force them to help, with tech traded from Big MT, they would gladly give him the time of day.

With this, his plan to bring her back was set, he would not deny this world her smile, more importantly he couldn't bear to go without said smile either.

"I stored her in a prototype internal Pipboy, there's a group on the east coast that can bring her back called the institute. But I need to keep her body intact, and my pipboy is the best way to do that." As Alex spoke he could see hope and color return to Sunny.

"Y-you can bring her back? Wh-why would you go though all that trouble for her?" Sunny was glad that there may be a chance to get her sister back, yet couldn't figure out why he would risk so much for Sammy?

Alex smiled and patted Sunny on the top of her head. "Love, I was dying after an ambush. I was betrayed and angry, my world was dark, and she was the light that chased it away. If it wasn't for my injuries, I could have found a way too get us out of there in a week or two. However fates a bitch, she died, and I was filled with a feeling I've never felt before, one I still don't understand."

Alex removed his hand and sighed as he took out some paper from his Pipboy, plans for the future.

"All I know is that if I had to choose between burning the world to ciders, or letting her go…. I wouldn't mind dancing on the ashes of every city with her in my arms."

This shocked all four girls, they could see the love Alex held for the girl in his eyes, however three of them turned to the forth, a silver haired girl.

"Why are you all looking at me? Something on my face?" Ava reached up to touch her face.

Cass nudged her. "You're lover boy has the hots for another girl you dense idiot." Suddenly Alex let out a coughing fit as the others sweat dropped.

"Huh? I don't mind sharing tho? As long as I'm not neglected and she loves him as much as I do." Ava crossed her arms and Alex gave her a what the fuck look.

"Uhhh, I don't know how too deal with this, so I'm going to do something very unhealthy and bottle it up inside." Taking the papers he had Alex let out his thoughts and handed the papers around, hopefully distracting everyone from the awkwardness.

"Well this has been amongst the top five weirdest moments of my life so far." Sarah chuckled as she took the paper from Alex. Seriously, the guy pulls out a dead girl and claims he's going to bring her back, before shrugging off a hot piece of ass that would drive any man wild. Then he hands out papers to us with what??

Looking down at the paper, Sarah began to read. Slowly her eyebrows began to rise to the point she had to check with her hands to make sure they were still there.

"You want to do this? Are you serious? The Legion, NCR and every major player will be after you if you follow this plan!" Suddenly Ava jumped up clutching the paper, afraid that if Alex went through with this that he would not survive the ire of so many large factions.

Alex simply smiled.

"They have yet to see it, but their days are already coming to a close. By the end of this year, they will be out of the Mojave completely. In the next ten to fifteen years? The former continental United States will be mine." A small smile spread across Alexs face, he would explore and conquer every inch of this scorched earth.

"Get some rest, I'll be leaving in the morning and heading up towards the NCRCF. Time to show those convicts what happens when you fight the law."

"
