16. Mutant Memories

Danse POV

I quickly pulled up my gun and aimed it at the head of the super Mutant-

But before I could pull the trigger (Y/N) shoved the gun so it was aiming at the floor and sent me a death glare.

"I know you're from the Institute, so where's Kellogg? Huh? Trying to sneak up on me while you distract me? Its not going to work!"

the mutant yelled at us, clearly pissed.

With one last warning look in my direction (Y/N) pushed past me and stood between me and the mutant.

I growled under my breath and kept my grip tight on the gun.

"Im not stupid! I knew they'd send him after me!"

Virgil took a step back,

"We're just here to talk!"

(Y/N) said to him, he gave a suspiscious glance at me, then looked back to (Y/N),

"That so? Then talk. Fast."

he grumbled,

(Y/N) looked over her shoulder at me, but there was no way I was putting down my gun.

So she signed and turned back to the Mutant.

"Can you tell me about the Institute or not?"

she asked a little sternly,

"The Institute?"

Vigirl questioned with wide eyes, then he sneered,

"So they did send you, didnt they? You're working with Kellogg!"

She scoffed, standing up straight with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Kellogg's been taken care of."

"Dead?"

Virgil asked, sounding surprised,

(Y/N) nodded and dropped her arms to her sides.

"He's...dead? Dont you lie to me!"

he yelled and I subconsciously took a step closer to (Y/N) and grabbed her wrist,

"Is it really so hard to believe I killed him?"

Virigl grunted,

"So you killed em eh? Then what do you want with me?"

"Can you tell me anything about the Institute? I need to get in there."

(Y/N) said taking a step closer to Virigl.

And I stepped closer with her, my gun in one hand my other holding her wrist.

"Can I... Are you joking? You want to get into the Institute!? Are you insane?"

he questioned giving (Y/N) a look, which made me furrow my brows and I had to bite my tongue from saying something.

"Never mind how nearly impossible that is, even if you were to succeed it'd almost certainly end up in your immediate death! What reason could you possibly have for taking that kind of risk?"

(Y/N) starred him down,

"Im trying to find my son. The Institute kidnapped him."

She gritted her teeth and grabbed my hand in hers, giving it a death grip.

"Oh...Oh no... I had no idea. Im sorry."

Virgil gave her a sympthetic look,

"Yeah, the Institute has taken people from the Commonwealth in the past. If your son is one of them... I can understand why you'd want to get in there. I can help but... Im going to need something in return."
