Part two of Fo4 companions react to Sole succeeding & failing at playing the knife game

Here it is! sorry again about the wait but I hope y’all enjoy reading it and thanks again for the request!

Piper(Succeeding): The journalist would never play the game herself but she loved watching Sole be a boss at it, she would bet money that no one knew how to wield a knife better than Sole in the whole Commonwealth. Piper really did bet caps on some of the games and she had yet to be disappointed with how much she got back in winnings because Sole had yet to lose, sure their were a few close calls but nothing ever happens. Tonight was no different as Sole was declared the winner and the other person held a wounded hand while Piper quickly went to collect all her winnings being sure to congratulate Sole with a hearty slap on the back.

Piper(Failing): Sole had lost focus for a brief second and was now holding a bloody finger and trying not to scream as Piper tried to find something to wrap the finger up in, she was in shock that they hadn’t lost the whole finger. A few people who had bet on Sole were grumbling about losing so many caps and they couldn’t believe they had lost. Piper just snapped at them telling them to shut-up and get lost and that if they didn’t have the extra caps to lose than they shouldn’t be betting to begin with. People cleared out after that as Piper tended to Sole’s small wound and they thanked her for sticking up for them.  

Danse(Succeeding):He was like a mother hen who constantly followed Sole around trying to keep them out of harm's way, which was difficult when Sole purposely played a game that put them in danger of losing fingers! He always reminded Sole that what they were doing was strictly frowned upon within the Brotherhood, Sole would just give him that knowing look and remind him it was only bad if they got caught. Danse would just glare at Sole the whole time as they went to the hidden dock area were others would gather to watch Sole face off a new challenger every week.Until Sole was actually declared the winner Danse felt like he was going to have a heart attack just watching them play, and always scolded them afterwards saying their luck would run out one of these days.

Danse(Failing): He knew this was going to happen! All he could do was watch in horror as Sole miscalculated a move and the knife sunk into the skin and bone beneath the knuckle of their middle finger. Sole didn’t register the pain at first but started cussing a few seconds later, pulling the knife out and trying to put pressure on it while asking Danse if he could go sneak some medical supplies from the med bay. He knew Sole couldn't go in their because if word got out about this to anyone outside their circle Elder Maxson would not be pleased and he couldn’t stand the thought of Sole getting trouble. After patching Sole’s finger up he gave them a look of “I told you so” causing Sole to roll their eyes but also promise to be more careful.   

Nick(Succeeding): He didn’t approve of Sole playing such a risky game and always reminded them if they lost a finger or permanently damaged their hand it wasn’t going to be a fun time. Sole was confident in their skills though and said there was no way in Hell they would ever lose on this winning streak they have going on here with the folks of Diamond city. Every once in awhile Nick would tag along and was amazed at how many people would gather to watch Sole face off against someone else, and Sole’s knife skills weren't to shabby. He knew it was a good deal for Sole in terms of caps to, a partial amount of the bets placed on them if they won were given to them and Sole was always generous enough to share some with Nick to. Even though he thought it was dangerous he did get caught up in the excitement and thrill of the whole game, and always congratulated Sole at the end and would take them out for a well deserved hot cup of noodles.

Nick(Failing): Nick knew Sole would lose sooner or later or the game would go sour and for some reason he had a gut feeling about tonight so he tagged along again. Sole was doing great one minute and 2 seconds later was standing up holding a bloody hand with the knife laying on the table slightly covered in blood at the bottom of it. Nick tried to stay calm but was slightly freaking out because he wasn’t really sure if the finger was still attached or not, Sole assured him it was but they needed stitches like pronto. He guided them quickly to the local doctor who just shook his head at Sole when learning how they got the injury, but stitched the finger backup and warned them against doing something so stupid again.

Deacon(Succeeding): The two played the knife game together all the time because hey reckless was their middle names and who didn’t love the high stakes of earning caps and possibly losing a finger. When they traveled they were always hitting different settlements and bothering people to join in on one of their games which usually people just called them crazy and ignored them but sometimes it worked and a few would come join in. Sole was the better out of the two of them and remained undefeated and Deacon never got tired of watching them kick ass at the game and helping them carry out their winnings, while trying to run away from a few angry settlers who were convinced Sole was cheating.

Deacon(Failing): Sole is freaking out and screaming as Deacon is holding Sole’s severed middle finger and dragging them into the nearest doctor and asking if there's any way to save the finger. The whole sight is rather comical except for the blood spurting out between the clenched fingers Sole has over the area and the pained expression on their face.The doctor said he would do his best as he handed Sole a bottle of whiskey the only thing he had to help numb any pain while they sterilized the wound and got to work stitching it up. Sole was grateful for Deacon being their holding their good hand and telling them dumb jokes to distract them and passing the bottle of whiskey back and forth because his nerves were just as frayed as Soles.  

Curie(Succeeding): She was a protective mothering type and thought it was foolish of Sole to play such a game and when she caught them playing she would always break up the game and scolded Sole for it. Even when Sole won a game she would pretend to not be impressed and reminded them it would be her they would run to if they ever hurt themselves and she would be their to tell them I told you so. Sole would just give the caring synth a knowing smirk and say I look forward to that day if it ever happens. Curie would just walk away in a huff not understanding why Sole continued to gamble their safety in such a way.

Curie(Failing): She inspected Sole’s partially severed finger as Sole looked anywhere but at Curie’s scrutinizing gaze, it was the look Sole could remember their own Mother giving them as a kid every time they didn’t listen to her. Curie just gave a disappointed sigh and started sterilizing the area and told Sole to brace themselves for some serious pain, she would do her best to be quick about it. Once everything was said and done Sole finally looked up at Curie saying they were sorry for being such an ass and not actually listening to her and she had been right. Curie just shook her head and placed a comforting hand on Sole’s shoulder telling her she only did it because she cared deeply about them and she couldn’t imagine a Commonwealth without them in it.

Hancock(Succeeding): No one was quicker with a knife then him, that is until Sole came along and changed all that and showed Hancock what it truly meant to have skill with a knife. Everyone loved gathering around and watching them face off at the Third Rail, when they were their it meant a good night of drinks and free chems and a more free flow of caps being bet on the two. Tonight wasn't any different as Sole and Hancock were getting deep into the game with Sole going so fast with their knife most people’s eyes couldn’t keep up with watching them, of course both were throwing taunts back and forth, which was all in good fun. Finally Hancock slipped up and Sole was announced the winner with a ton of people cheering and raising their drinks as they went to collect their bet winnings. Sole leaned back in their chair giving a cocky look at their favorite ghoul letting him know he owed them a round of free drinks, he just barked out a laugh and went off to grab them their usual choice of drink.

Hancock(Failing): Playing this game was different for Hancock because if he accidentally stabbed himself it didn't really hurt and Hell he was already falling apart what would losing a finger matter, Sole was squishy though, tough but still very human. It seemed Sole hit the jet a little to hard before they started playing and suddenly the knife was going into their hand and Sole was just looking at it like oh God what do I do. Hancock was quick to jump up and shoo everyone away before leading Sole over to their good doctor friend and bringing a bottle of booze along for Sole to have, because he knew that shit was going to hurt here in a little bit. He stayed y Sole while the knife got taken out and the rather large wound was stitched back up, and Hancock told Sole at least this would make a cool story later on, Sole was not amused as they took another swig from the bottle of vodka.

Fo4 Companions react to Sole playing the knife game and witnessing them succeed and fail at it!Part one

Sorry for the wait but here is the first part of this request and I hope y’all enjoy it as always thanks for reading!

Cait (Succeeding): Ah the knife game she loved this type of dangerous shit and always challenged Sole to a game when they were in bars or had some down time while camping out. Once they were really deep into a game and Cait had to tap out before she lost a finger and she was amazed as she realized Sole wasn’t even looking at their hand as they continued to play at an ungodly speed, she had some major respect for Sole after that!

Cait(Failing): Both of them were extremely drunk and thought it was a great time to pull out their biggest knives and play a little game, of course with caps involved and a bit of a crowd down at some bar. Sole was confident they would win this without a problem, but that was the 5 shots of tequila talking rather then the logical side of them, it wasn’t even 5 minutes in when all of a sudden Sole registered that the knife was going through one of their fingers and all this blood was pouring out over the table, and Cait was laughing her ass off. Will there goes 200 caps they thought before promptly passing out at the table.

MacCready(Succeeding): He always just rolled his eyes whenever Sole challenged someone to the game, but in reality he found he couldn’t peel his eyes away when they started playing. He always cringed when Sole would accidentally come to close to losing a finger and cut themselves a little bit, but he had yet to witness them losing a game. The current game was about 15 minutes in and it was blowing his mind to see Sole sitting there grinning at the other guy they were up against, taunting them as they continued to pick up speed. Finally the other person caved in and told Sole they won handing over a few caps, and Mac feeling the tension ease out of him and letting out a sigh of relief.

MacCready(Failing): He was always scared when Sole played this game but they had yet to lose one or get hurt to badly so he wasn’t intent on getting them to stop. It started out as a normal evening in the third rail and him and Sole were just chilling out with a few drinks and Sole was messing around with their new knife that they had won in the last game. Mac kinda eyes them and asked if they should really be doing that since they’ve been drinking, but Sole just laughed and brushed him off, and not even a minute later Sole was cussing and holding their hand as blood gushed out and Charlie was yelling at Sole for getting blood all over the counter. Mac just threw his hands up saying I told you so before coming over to help Sole out and stop the blood flow.

X6-88(Succeeding): He knew Sole had a taste for danger and being overly reckless, it was something he was trying to get rid of in Sole, but the thing he hated the most was that ridiculous knife game Sole was always playing. Of course no one at the Institute ever indulged Sole by playing with them but they eventually got X6 to play along every now and again just so Sole would shut-up about it and get back to focusing on the task at hand. Although he always found it silly, X6 had to admit Sole’s speed and agility with a knife was impressive and when they won a game against him he was impressed to say the least though he never let that show, long as Sole was satisfied and would get back to work that’s all he cared about.

X6-88(Failing): He told Sole it was only a matter of time before they fucked up and lost a finger or did serious damage to their hands, Sole was never one to listen though. Later that day he was informed that Sole was down in the medical wing and he could already imagine why, and the synth who had informed him scampered off as they could already hear the annoyance in his voice. For behind his sunglasses he glared at Sole as the medical synth worked on their hand, and Sole avoided looking at him as they stared down at their right hand which was now missing a middle finger, they had never felt more ashamed and stupid in their entire life and knew they should have listened to X6 to begin with.   

Codsworth(Succeeding): He was never fond of this new game his master had picked up while traveling the Commonwealth and whenever Sole went to play he always advised them against it. Though when Sole won a game he was just as quick to congratulate them, but would worry the whole time as he watched from the sidelines always ready to aide Sole and get them medical attention if things went wrong. It had yet to happen though and he was glad his master had a way with knives that few others could truly compete with.

Codsworth(Failing): The Mr.Handy knew something bad would happen sooner or later and he witnessed first hand Sole severing off their pinky finger and them trying not to freak out as they asked him to help them out. He gathered up Sole’s pinky and got them in to see Curie for medical treatment and see if she could reattach the finger, luckily she was able to and Codsworth couldn’t be more relieved as he scolded Sole for always playing such a reckless game. After such a scare Sole assured him that they wouldn’t be playing again anytime soon.

Strong(Succeeding): He thought the game was silly and pointless and didn’t see why Sole got such a thrill out of doing it, also he didn’t get why humans would purposely do something that could cause serious harm to themselves. Strong found he did enjoy watching Sole practice sometimes though when it was late at night and they were sitting next to the fire and Sole was just going as fast as they could with the knife between their fingers, it was a strange way of relaxation for Strong.

Strong(Failing): It happened suddenly and it woke the mutant up when he heard Sole yell out in pain, he immediately stood up thinking someone was attacking them, instead he saw Sole clutching their hand with their eyes squeezed shut and blood leaking down their arm from between their fingers. Strong went on to berate Sole for doing something so stupid and injuring themselves, Sole just glared at him and went to go rummage in their bag for a stimpak while Strong just rolled back over laughing at Sole and falling back asleep.  

Preston(Succeeding): The knife game was a past time a few of the recruits at the Castle loved to play with Sole, and a favorite when nights were slow and no one needed the Minutemen. Preston didn't necessarily approve of it but it did make for a fun night when Sole pulled out her knife at a table and invited others to challenge her. Sole’s skill with a knife was unmatched by anyone here, and everyone knew they couldn’t win but they certainly tried especially the newbies who thought they were better. Even when someone nicked a finger or knuckle while playing Preston found he couldn’t look away and helped cheer Sole on. When Sole was done wounding the new recruits pride he came and gave the General a pat on the back and offered them a drink from another great win.

Preston(Failing): This time around he could tell Sole wasn’t really on their game and he was worried more than usual about them playing and he tried to talk them out of it and said they should just wait to play some other night. Sole never turned down a game though and took their usual spot facing the opposite player,and started going at it right away never taking their eyes off the other person which is how they started to unnerve most people. Preston could see they were getting sloppy though and they kept nicking themselves, and it just got worse as the game went on, but Sole kept speeding up. He finally couldn’t stand watching anymore and called off Sole and the other player and pulled Sole away from the table saying they were going to lose a finger if they didn’t cut it out. He could see Sole was just exhausted from today’s earlier work and told them to go get some sleep they could have a rematch some other day.

Part two of Fo4 companions react to learning a female Sole was a former courser

Here is the finally part of the request, thanks again for sending it in and I hope y’all enjoy reading!

X6-88: He knew Sole was a former courser and had been sent specifically to hunt Sole down and bring her back so the Institute could reprogram her into compliance, she was actually the first case of a courser going rouge and no one knew how it really happened. He also knew that the Railroad agency had been helping her hide but it was hard because they had only helped synths before not coursers so it made it three times as difficult to keep anyone from tracking her. When X-6 finally located her it was damn near in the middle of nowhere and the last place anyone would suspect to look and she was prepared to face him and he knew she would be one hell of a fight but he was just as ready. Their cat and mouse game went on for hours neither of them getting tired or slowing down before Sole accidentally slipped up and X-6 pinned her down, and she thrashed and screamed begging him not to take her back. He admired how hard they had thought, but he had his orders and he quickly transported them both back to the Institute where Sole was taken back to be wiped clean and re-programmed, the game was finally over.

Nick: He knew Sole was a courser before she even said anything, he had seen plenty before and he recognized that brutally but precise style of fighting as the way only one of them could fight out here in the Commonwealth. To others she did a good job of hiding away what she really was, but to those who knew the brutality of the Institute first hand there was no shying away from it. At first he didn’t really trust Sole and figured they where some kind of double agent, overtime though he realized Sole was trying to leave their past behind and live a good and better life free from the controlling grip of her original creators.Sole was internally grateful to Nick for shielding her from those who would seek to destroy her or use them for personally gain, sure she was one of the toughest things out here but it still scared her and sometimes gave her nightmares that one day another courser would drag her back to the Institute and wipe her memory once again making her a tool for their usage. Nick promised that as long as he was still standing he wouldn’t let that happen to her at least not without a fight. Their were even times when Sole felt like maybe she had known Nick at one point after all she had been with the Institute for decades before fleeing, it wasn’t impossible that she had seen the creation and destruction of him at point, either way she was glad he was here with her now.  

Cait: She had never come across a courser before, she had only heard of them so when she fell in with Sole she just assumed they were as badass as her and had grown up all their life kicking ass and fighting their way through Hell. When Sole had first strolled into the combat zone it was like seeing another version of Cait in action except this version was more clean and accurate in everything they did. Together they were a team that was unstoppable cutting down anyone in their way, but one day another courser came along specifically looking for Sole and spilling her secret to Cait. The courser did this with hopes that Cait would turn on Sole aiding him in killing her, but it backfired when Cait told him to go fuck himself and that Sole was her friend no matter what. Once the both of them took the courser down Cait was quick to call Sole a jackass for not telling her sooner and she had thought they trusted each other at this point, Sole was sorry for hiding it but she had been scared that Cait would leave her if she knew, Cait rolled her eyes and told Sole from now on no more secrets between them

Hancock: Sole knew how Hancock felt about the Institute and what they did and she was afraid to even mention she had been a former courser they had become so close and he made her feel alive in ways she never even knew where possible, she didn’t want to lose what she had even though she felt horrible for lying. As time went on though it just made her feel worse keeping such a big secret especially when he was always so open and honest with her, he bared his very soul to her, she knew she couldn’t hide forever. She waited till he was actually coherent enough and sober so their weren’t any misunderstandings between them, once she actually sat him down and told her about who she really use to be he got quiet and she became nervous. He took her hands into his and told her he could never hate her for a past that was never fully under her control, that she had more than proven what kind of person she truly was, someone who was loving and caring and put others before herself, but he was sorry she had been to scared to tell him the truth that was never his intention. Sole took him into a tight embrace beside herself with relief that Hancock accepted her for her past and for the person she was now.  

MacCready: His world had always revolved around making caps and his son so he never had a strong opinion about synths or coursers other then he would never want to get into a fight with one alone. He never suspected he would be best friends with one though, not that he knew that right off the bat, him and Sole came across each other accidentally and Sole needed help and at first it was about the caps she pushed into Mac’s hands but after awhile he grew to really like her and couldn’t think of anyone else he would rather travel with. After she helped him retrieve the cure for his son she knew it was time to tell him the truth, she figured that at least if things turned sour he wouldn't outright kill her, not after everything she had done for him over the past year. Sole was anxious as Hell when she finally spit out her secret and held her breath as she looked at Mac’s emotionless face as he processed what he just heard, he admitted that Sole seemed a little different, from the way they acted down to the way she would fight but he couldn’t believe they had actually been in the Institute for so long and managed to escape and avoid them. Courser, synth, robot, alien he didn’t care because Sole was the one person he could depend on in this world, the only one he had besides his son since Lucy was killed, they had stayed with him when it mattered most when he thought he was alone and that’s all he cared about.

Piper: The reporter had always been paranoid of the boogeyman of the Commonwealth, the Institute was something she had been taught to fear from a young age and the horrors it produced she had witnessed first hand, people being replaced with synths, coursers striking fear into whole towns and killing innocents without mercy. Of course she knew not all synths were bad and there was Nick who was always her closest friend and she was quick to step in if anyone gave him any bullshit, so Sole only told her she was a synth at first but left out the details of being a former courser because she knew how feared they were. It wasn’t until they had become close friends that Piper suspected there was something about Sole that they weren't telling her and of course being who she was she was dying to find out what this secret of Sole’s was. It took a long time to get it out of her but eventually Sole caved in to Piper’s constant questioning and sat Piper down and told her about being a former courser, which of course blew Piper’s mind, she couldn't believe she had one of the Institutes most powerful assets just chilling out in Diamond city in her office, let alone having someone like Sole as a close friend. Piper still loved Sole as a friend and saw her as a force of good that could be used to play the Institute at their own game, something Sole was more than happy to comply with.

Part one of Fo4 companions react to finding out Sole has telepathy!

Here it is part one of this exciting request! hope you enjoy reading y’all. 

Preston: Sole had been worried about how Preston would view them if he knew about the telepathy, that he would be weirded out or think they were a freak, on the other hand though Preston was always so sweet and understanding. Sole felt so torn between being truthful and keeping it a secret like they always had, but they hated not being truthful with their best friend because Preston was always so open with them. Preston already figured out Sole wasn’t exactly normal he just knew there was something different about them and not in a bad way either, at first he thought he was just imagining it but Sole always seemed to be able to tell what anyone was thinking and before he could even utter a word about a settlement that needed help, Sole would already know were to go and what the details were. When Preston finally decided to ask them about it they found him first and told him the reasoning behind all of it was because they had telepathy. Preston had to sit down for this one and couldn’t believe what he was hearing, Sole was scared at first and promised they weren’t abusing their power or using it for evil, Preston shook his head and said he knows they would never do that it was just he couldn’t believe telepathy was a real thing he thought it was just something that was made up.

   Cait: Sole had always come off as a bit strange, they always seemed to know what she was thinking or what was going to happen in a fight before anyone else did and they had saved her ass because of it more then once. When she questioned them about it Sole said they would think they were crazy if they told her the truth, Cait reminded them that it was already crazy that Sole was over 200 years old and had been frozen in time. Sole gave in and told Cait the reason they always knew what was going to happen and why they always knew what she was thinking was because they had telepathy. Cait just stared at her wide eyed before admitting you know what maybe you really are crazy, and Sole shoved her saying they were being fucking serious the telepathy was something they had kept hidden all their life because they had been scared about what would happen if anyone knew, but out here in this Hell that didn’t matter anymore this gift is what helped them be a survivor and they were grateful for it. Cait felt kinda lucky that she had fallen in league with Sole, who knows how many times they would have died if it hadn’t been for them and their strange power.

X6-88: When Sole began working closely with X6 and the Institute they knew their ability wasn’t something they could hide for long and really they didn’t see X6 as the kind of man you should lie to about anything. Sole told him about the telepathy and X6 was immediately fascinated and began asking them all sorts of questions, like how long have they had the ability, did anyone know about this before the war, did they know anyone else who had this ability?. Sole did their best to answer everything as accurately as they could and was rather curious and surprised that the Institute had never found anyone like them before, afterall they were always pushing boundaries with mutations, cloning, splicing genes. After the conversation he escorted them to the Institutes extensive labs and had Sole explain again what they had told him to the head scientist. Even the doctors got involved because they wanted to do blood testing and other things to see if there was anything about Sole’s brain or body that made them a prime specimen for harnessing this power.    

Codsworth: The Mr.Handy was made quite aware of Sole’s special abilities in the early days of when he first began working in their home, and he had never heard of such a thing. Sole had always begged him to keep quiet about it though because they were scared that if anyone knew they would be seen as a freak and locked away from their spouse and Shaun. The Mr. Handy vowed their silence and promised their secret was safe with him, for that Sole was grateful because Codsworth was genuinely seen as part of their small family. Even now after the bombs Codsworth hadn’t told a soul but he did always make mention of how the telepathy seemed to serve them better in this new world and now they didn’t have to worry about people exposing them for the secret because no one cared anymore, and Sole suppose that was a positive way of looking at their new circumstances.

Strong: Sole found it overly easy to read the mutants thoughts even if they didn’t have their ability his body language and comments made it overly easy to read him at any given moment. Sometimes it did make communication easier though because the Mutant had a rather difficult time expressing his thoughts that were in a way comprehensible to others around him. Sole was always happy to be a translator when Strong wanted to talk to other companions like MacCready, also they could shoot him thoughts about what they should do in combat which Sole had to say was awesome when they went to sneak attack enemies. When Strong asked about why he could sometimes hear Sole in his head or why they always knew what he was thinking they did their best to explain what telepathy was, at the end though Strong got bored and dozed off making Sole just shake their head and laugh.

Curie: The synth loved anything that was considered rare, strange or different and Sole knew that, if anyone would truly accept who Sole was it would be Curie. They slowly started to introduce their gift by saying what she was thinking out loud or if Curie was struggling with something they would push their own thoughts into her mind and she would look up at Sole confused, and they would just give her a knowing smile. When Sole finally told her they could do all of this because they had telepathy Curie couldn’t believe she hadn’t figured it out sooner. She had actually read books on telepathy before but she was sure it was just a theory or wishful thinking of a few humans, she was in awe that Sole truly possessed such a remarkable ability.

Thanks again fore reading!

Fo4 Companions react to learning a female Sole was once a Courser -Part One

Here it is! Hope y’all enjoy part one of this request Deacon: Sole had actually been the one to find him while she was still a courser because she had been doing some spying and snooping and learned of him being part of the infamous Railroad agency. The Institute had been sending her and other coursers out to hunt and kill their agents, instead she wanted to get Deacon to help her get out and away from the Institute, she knew plenty of other synths had done it, not all of them succeeding some of which had unfortunately been brought in by her own hand and forced to be rebuilt to once again serve the Institute. Deacon was surprised to see she had sought him out herself, but was willing to hear them out, and he felt sympathetic to what she was trying to accomplish. After all it wasn’t her fault the Institute had brainwashed her and built her to be a killing machine, it made him rather giddy inside that they could have a courser on their side and really flip the table on those bastards. He brought Sole into the loop after getting them cleared with Desdemona and got to work on getting them a new identity and having them worked on so the Institute could no longer track them, and having them get a face change. Sole was more than ready to make up for all the years of horrible things they did by turning their ways around and helping other synths leave the Institute behind and keeping them safe from coursers sent to track them down, the last thing they expected was to meet another one fighting against them!   

Preston: He had always suspected that Sole was not entirely human due to seeing them in action and the ridiculous amount of accuracy, speed and skill they showed in combat, it was unlike anything he had ever seen before. He didn’t question her though and was just happy to have her sided with the Minutemen, and Sole had become an excellent teacher to the newer recruits and led them with a firm hand greatly improving the overall ranks. Once him and Sole had gotten closer she told him there was something she needed to tell him and she hoped he wouldn’t hate her for it once she told him what she really was. Sole revealed she had once been a courser, not something she was entirely proud of but it was something she left behind when freewill was introduced to her. Now she was just out here trying to make up for the evil things she had carried out for the Institute and the people she had hurt and killed. Preston was rather shocked, but was quick to let Sole know that he didn’t hate her and he loved her for doing what was right and was happy she was able to start a different life for herself and he promised that they would be able to bring the Institute down together, he swore this to them on his life.

Curie (synth): She knew the other woman was a synth and it was honestly nice to have an already experienced synth help her out getting to know the ropes of her new body and what it meant to experience the world as a synth. Sole was actually the one who convinced Curie to leave her old robotic body for a synth one and always talked about all the exciting things that could go do across the Commonwealth and all the people they would be able to help. It was kinda cute actually the two women ended up opening a clinic together run in Sanctuary were they treated and gave medical exams free of charge and relied on generous donations and volunteers doing supply runs when they could. One day while the two where talking Curie asked about Sole’s past she was curious to know what Sole had been doing all these years before they met, and Sole wasn’t afraid or ashamed to tell Curie she had once been a courser unfortunately once used as a tool to carry out the Institutes bidden. Luckily she had gone rouge and broke free of the Institutes control and the Railroad had helped her out of that mess, only difference was she convinced them to let her keep her memories. Curie was never one to be judgmental and she was glad she and Sole could be here together doing what they do and helping people who needed it most, that was all that mattered to her.   

Strong: He knew from the get-go that Sole was not human, and it never bothered him because Sole was as strong as him and could never be beaten in a fight no matter who they went up against. The mutant never asked what Sole was and just continued to be impressed by how fast and accurate they were, he had never seen another woman shoot like Sole does or take someone out in one hit. After awhile Sole told him that they had once been a courser for the Institute, but they had long since left that life behind in favor of freedom and trying to undo the evil the Institute had unleashed upon the Commonwealth. Strong was greatly impressed and had seen coursers in the past destroy many of his brothers within the blink of the eye, and was pleased that he had Sole on his side.

Danse: He saw Sole as an excellent soldier and one of the best he had ever had the pleasure of working side by side with in the field, she was always quick on her feet and the first one to spot enemies and come up with plans on missions. When everything went to shit and he learned he was a synth and ran away and Sole found him, he thought she would have killed him and taken care of him like any other enemy, instead she put down her gun and sat beside him telling him he wasn’t alone in this. Danse was greatly confused when Sole began telling him her story of once being a courser for the Institute and how brainwashed she had been in believing that she was helping cleanse the Commonwealth and bringing order back when in reality she was striking fear into everyone and killing innocent people that the Institute deemed intrusive, it was something that haunted her every waking moment and she was now doing her best to redeem herself. Danse couldn’t believe she trusted him enough to share all of this, and that the Brotherhood had been working with one of it’s greatest and despised enemies all this time. He was grateful for Sole’s friendship and comfort in this moment though as his whole world was turned upside down, and knew he wouldn’t have wanted anyone else by his side as he tried to figure out how to start over again.

Part two should be out within the next day or so
