Leanne nearly shat her pants.

Slowly, Leanne turned her head to the source of the voice. She was met with a shocking amount of red hair, a mass of curls and waves reaching her shoulders with soulful green eyes that reminded Leanne of the rain forest- so full of life and energy- looking into her dull dark brown ones. The woman, not looking too much older than her, with her youthful expression with freckles dotted on her face like constellations against her white skin (at least comparing to hers and the other girl's ethnicity). The other woman was a burst of color, contrasting against the dulled silver walls of the vault and made Leanne's grip on reality a bit more steady since the frost's remnants still melting on her suit and body.

'She's... kinda cute.'

The red headed girl stepped in from the doorway, only for her feet to snag- on nothing?- and tripping, falling face first with a loud smack. That broke Leanne's trance, blinking down at the woman that laid on the floor, groaning.

"Are you... alright there?" Leanne asked, a little concerned walking towards the fallen girl and helping her up. It was only polite that she did, her mom (from both worlds) didn't raise an asshole/animal. Leanne quickly scanned her face, seeing if there was any blood or a broken nose. The older woman had not fallen softly. Seeing none, her eyes locked into the other's.

"Yeah, just got two left feet." The red head chuckled, slightly abashed. "I'm as graceful as a horse on skates, as my mum would say!" Leanne chuckled along with her, patting her slightly on the back in sympathy.

"Used to have that problem, balancing and shit when I was younger. Then I got these coke bottled glasses and all of a sudden I had the grace of an acrobat... Not really haha. Still got butter fingers." Leanne wiggled her fingers, smiling.

"Wait, you're Bertha's kid, right? Eurydice?" Recognition sparked from the other woman's eyes.

"Yeah, you come around time to time right? To see with my mom somethings? Weren't you teaching her how to bead?" Leanne nodded, her cheeks becoming a tinged pink as she smiled more widely.

"She saw the earrings I made when I went to the Supermarket and really liked it. I noticed some of the works she's made with some clothes and we've been coming back and forth to each other's houses whenever she wasn't busy."

"So you're from... Earth One, right?"

"Earth One?" Leanne smirked, slightly raising her eyebrow. Eurydice turned red.

"Yeah, I grew up watching some sci-fi movies when I was younger... Well a lot, lot younger. Woah, I'm actually pretty old." Eurydice said, looking a little far off into the distance.

"Already have signs of dementia there, granny?" Leanne couldn't help but tease. But she was confused. Sure she died, but it was not a long time ago that she was placed in this body. Was Eurydice here long before her? She didn't seem too old, so was she young when she arrived? Leanne was 18 and was placed in an 18 year old body with some of it's brain's memories intact. This was the reason why it was easy to leave her parents and never look back without feeling the guilt, since this was this body's memory's plan all along.

She felt no lost love for her 'parents' no matter how cruel it may be, she only thought of them as caretakers for a brief time before cutting ties with them when she dropped out of school.

'At least I know my real family is safe. Wherever they are.' Leanne thought, with a tinged of sadness. As long as they weren't suffering, she could live with not seeing them again since her closeness with her family strained over the years. Time did that to relationships, and it's not like she kept in touch with them that much, even to her brother who she loved dearly, grew apart. Leanne guessed it was her fault, since she was awkward (as her friends kept reminding her when someone new popped up in the social group).

"- guess that's what happens when you're reborn into a baby haha!"

... What?


Eurydice's POV


It embarrassingly took a long time before Eurydice realized where she was. She wasn't stupid, she knew she was in America, Boston. She just didn't know what universe she was in. But she couldn't exactly search up on the Internet or ask anyone because one, they would put her in a mental hospital and two, she was a baby. That really limited the things she could do or say, because she hasn't developed enough muscles (or height) to do anything or speak since her vocal chords was not developed.

Even when she was older, a kid, it took her some time before she realized she was in the Fallout universe. It was when she was outside with her parents when she saw that suit of armor. A Vault-tech armor.

Ever since then, she was preparing. She made time capsules, filled it with many sheets of paper, canned purified water, and other things her parents let her to bury from the outbacks of the Sanctuary. They humored her, thinking it was merely child curiosity and let her spent her allowance on those things. It didn't hurt anyone, so they never bothered her.

Mal, Eurydice's father, ruffled her hair as he drank his coffee never looking up from his newspaper as Eurydice passed by him, holding some of her things for the time capsules.

"Have fun kid." He said, over his cup of coffee before taking another sip.

All the while, Eurydice knew what had to be done. She didn't know if she would ever be chosen to be elected to go into the vault 111 or somehow turn into a ghoul and not become feral. She hoped to god it didn't come to that, she would rather die than have her brains liquefied, her soul to be stuck in this body for hundreds of years and to have the mercy of someone putting a bullet in her brain like a sick dog. But by then, she'd be too far gone. Unless she would tun into a non-feral ghoul, she didn't want that chance to go insane.

Eurydice shuddered at the thought. That was the worst kind of hell and wouldn't wish that on anyone, even if they were her enemies. So over the course of the years, she took classes in defense and survival, grinding them until her body was fit for it. But she knew it didn't mean she had experience, battle or killing another person. She swallowed thickly, unnerved.

"I never caught your name." Eurydice blurted suddenly. She flushed at her own tactless words. The woman in front of her flinched, Eurydice guessed she was deep in her thoughts and Eurydice just disrupted the train of thought.

"Leanne. Just Leanne." She said, a tad bit awkwardly but gave Eurydice a small smile. "No family. At least, not here anyway if you catch my drift." Eurydice nodded in understanding. Not many would warm up to the prospect of another family when the other was forcibly taken from you.


Leanne's POV


"So, do you venture out? Find some stuff before we get out?"

"Sorry, I have to get find my mom and dad. We were in different pods before we went under ice."

"Alright, well I guess I'll meet you later."

"For sure. See you!" The shorter woman waved her hand, before rounding to the corner and disappeared from view.

"Now, to find that Pip-Boy..." Leanne muttered to herself. She couldn't pass up that opportunity of gaining one, it had a lot of uses, with it's built in radio and map. And it wasn't totally because she was geeking out over a piece of technology, of course not! She was just tiny bit excited, that was all.

So as she entered into the other room, thankfully there was no Radroaches, was where she found a pod with a man inside, sealed tightly.
