He was once a hero, a father, an agent, a General, a Paladin, Now? Now he was just a raider, Scum, and he fucking LOVES it.

His name was Nate James Lee Evans, before the war he was a military Lieutenant his wife and solemate Nora Elizabeth Evans (formerly Harlow) was a lawyer and had settled down with him when she had found out she was pregnant with their son shaun. Nate was on family leave when the bombs dropped on 23rd of October 2077 Nate, his wife with shaun in her arms and the rest of their neighbours at sanctuary hills fled to vault 111. 
"Thank god for that sailsman!" he thought as they passed the entrance gates and continued to run towards the vaults entrance. Once they were on the platform something happened...the bomb was dropped. 
The explosion was a huge mushroom cloud.

'NOW, NOW SEND IT DOWN NOW!'

The platform slowly began to go down.

'oh god' came from somewhere beside Nate as he held onto Nora to protect her from the explosion.

When they got into the vault they were greeted by the overseer and a security guard who lead them up to get their radiation levels checked and get a vault suit once they had them they were lead to these pods.

'The pods will decontaminate and de pressurise you before we head deeper into the vault, just relax.' 

'Time for a whole new life.'

'This is the one, here.' 

Said a voice as he woke up from cryostais, Nate hit the glass...nothing happened. 

'Open it.'

Said a second voice, a very rough voice, the kind that would burn into your memory just as it did to Nate. 

The cryopod in front of him opened, it took him a moment to realise that that wasn't one of his neighbours pods. It was his wife's.

'Is it over? Are we okay?' Nora asked among coughing and spluttering, as well as shaun screaming and crying.

'Almost everything's going to be fine.' Said the rough voice again.

'Come here baby.'

'Wait, no NO, I've got him!'

It was only too late that Nate noticed the gun in the man's hand.

'Let the boy go. I'm only going to tell you once!

'I'M NOT GIVING YOU SHAUN-' The gunshot rang out.

'Goddamn it! Get the kid outta here.'

'At least we still have the backup.'

Once again everything froze.

The next thing he knows he is falling out if his cryopod and on to the floor trying to get rid of the pain in his head. His mate, his nora. Is dead.

He reaches out to her through their link as mates and nothing happens. She is definitely dead.
And then it returns the pain in his temples only...its a different pain, the pain of connecting with a mate for the first time.

No.

No not again.
