"Eh, it's not the lap of luxury sure but compared to some of the places I've seen people living it's pretty good. You've got four solid walls, a roof, water and even some fans going. I might give the AC a crack before leaving but otherwise it's pretty sweet digs." I said casually.
"You know engineering?" Sunny asked surprised.
"Picked it up as a hobby and found I had a knack for it. Fell off to the wayside after I took those rounds as I just didn't have the money to tinker anymore. Still AC's aren't too difficult to fix if I can get the parts for it. Might need to canibalize some from the others nearby though." I said with a shrug.
"Don't let Trudy hear you say that. She'll have you try and hook up AC to the saloon if she finds out." She said with a smile.
"I'm not going to be sleeping in the saloon." I said shaking my head.
"Not saying I wouldn't like a nice cool place to sleep but that sounds like a lot of work for a place you'll be moving on from in a day or two." she pointed out.
"Maybe but you'll still be here if I ever come back." I said with a grin.
"Ha! Keep talking like that and I might try and keep you." she said with a smile.
"Promises promises. Now then about that dinner." I said pulling out a few of my freeze dried meals.
"Beef stroganoff!? Where on Earth did you find that? All the good preserved meals like that have long since been gone from the wasteland." she said with a excitement as she looked at the packages.
"Got it from the same place I got this armor. Untouched by radiation or decay for two hundred years, just add water and heat." I said with a chuckle.
I shook myself and the armor opened up letting me step out. Sunny looked me over appraisingly before nodding in appreciation. We fixed ourselves the meal and ate as the sun began to set. Once it was starting to get dark she grabbed my hand and dragged me into the bedroom. The sex was hot and messy(especially since I had to pull out) and we ended the day cuddled up on her mattress tired but thoroughly satisfied.-
I jolted awake when the day rolled over and my daily ticket rolled in but went back to sleep until Sunny forced me up. To be more specific she woke up and reacted badly to sharing her bed until her memories caught up with her. She apologized profusely about it but I laughed it off as it had been a while since I'd been punched awake but certainly not the first time. Woman had some fucking hands though let me tell you. The apology blowjob was also more than enough to earn my forgiveness for the black eye.-
Besides it gave me a reason to actually go bother Doc Mitchell and spy on the courier. I didn't expect to get attacked or anything but still suited up in the armor before heading out to the guys house.
"My database has no records of human intimacy, is violence like this normal?" Adam asked curiously as I walked towards the good doctors place.
"As much as I'd like to say no I know the sort of kinks people can have so honestly it's complicated. But in this case it was not a normal outcome no." I said with a weird expression.
"What is a kink? My dictionary is of no help giving context." Adam said almost making me trip.
"Oh fuck how do I even begin to explain this? Huh well the best way I can think of to make it make sense is that a kink is something beyond the ordinary sexual actions that gives sexual gratification. It's a VERY long list that I REALLY don't want to try and explain further." I said shuddering as I remembered so of the degeneracy people got up to before I died.
"I see. Would getting physically harmed be considered a kink?" Adam asked curiously.
"It's on the list yes. And no I don't have that particular one." I said quickly before the A.I got any funny Ideas.
"You didn't seem as bothered by it as my database indicated you should have been though." Adam said confused.
"That's because it's not the first time i've been woken up with a fist to the face. Ironically the last time was pretty similar to this one as well. I shacked up with a girl who was used to being alone and when she woke up in the same bed as me well you get it. Fight or flight can be a bitch sometimes before the rational part of the mind takes over." I said with a chuckle.
"So an unfortunate accident then." Adam said and I nodded in agreement.
Soon enough I reached Doc Mitchells house that was also ironically the biggest one in town and knocked on the door. There was only the sound of the town going about it's business for a few moments before the door opened. Standing in the doorway was an old Caucasian man with a white mustache and friendly face.
"I'm afraid you might have come to the wrong place if you are looking for repairs. I'm no good at fixin' machines." the good doc said apologetically with a strong western drawl.
"Good thing I'm not a robot then." I said opening the visor "just an armored up guy with a black eye." I finished with a chuckle.
"Well how about that? How'd you go getting a black eye with a metal casing like that?" he asked curiously.
"Hooked up with Sunny smiles yesterday. Turns out she gets punchy when she wakes up not alone." I said with a laugh.
"Heh, wasteland'll do that to ya. Well no sense in standing here jabbering away. Come in and find a seat so I can get a good look, make sure she didn't knock anything loose." he said stepping aside.
I walked in and wiped my feet on the welcome mat. The inside of his house was pretty nice honestly as wallpaper was mostly intact and the wooden floors and paneling followed suit. He led me to his actual medical office that had a couple medical stretchers being used as hospital beds, medical equipment for surgery and the sort of slapped together wasteland drugs you'd expect give the fact medical production was mostly nonexistent in this world.-
There at the far end of the room was a barely clothed African woman with discoloration around her eyes from wearing goggles in the sun often and an angry looking but small stitched up wound on her forehead.
'Apocalypse Harry potter anyone?' I thought idly as I let Doc Mitchel look over my black eye.
