  Timebomb's eyes watched the screen intensely, watching the redhead he'd grown to love running around, scared and lost, wielding a baseball bat.

He watched her and one of the guards get in a fight. They both took quite the beating as she tried to run, not wanting to kill the man.

"Leave me alone!" She yelled as the man kept chasing her, causing Timebomb to ball his fists in anger.

She looked through a glass window, seeing a woman being attacked by RadRoaches. She sprinted into the room, beating the insects off the woman.

Once they were all dead a boy her age ran in.

"Thank you so much for saving my mom! Here! Take my Tunnel Snakes jacket!" The boy said.

"Thank you..." Cywren softly mumbled as the guard came back in.

"No!" Cywren yelped as she got smacked in the stomach with a police baton as I flinched back at her pain.

She looked up at him with tears streaming down her face as she hit him where it hurt as hard as she could've.

"Damn..." He whispered under his breath, not taking his eyes off the monitor.

She wacked the man upside the head, blood covering the wooden baseball bat as she stared at the man in horror, shaking her head and running off.

She found another guard, this one actually talking to her like a civil human.

"Get outta here..." He said as she nodded, sprinting to the main room where some more kids stood, one, idiotically, walking towards the guards carrying loaded guns.

"It was horrible... Just watching this but not being able to do anything about it..." Amata spoke to Timebomb as he looked over at her, than back at the screen.

"You watched this happen to her?" He asked as she nodded.

"Yeah... Then my dad got all mad... Yelling at me and telling me I betrayed him because I wouldn't shoot her..." She mumbled as they both looked back at the screen.

"Why would he say that? She's your best friend," He said as she shrugged.

"Hell if I know... But... Well... Just watch..." She muttered as Timebomb's eyes drifted back to the screen.

He watched Cywren walk past another window, spotting Amata talking to her dad, the Overseer, and his two guards.

"No!" Cywren screamed, opening the door as the two guards attacked her, but they fell to the floor, lifeless, once she introduced them to her bat.

"Missy, you've cause my Vault a lot of trouble..." The Overseer said to Cywren as I shook my head.

"I-I didn't do a-anything..." She mumbled, dropping the baseball bat on the ground.

"I gave her a pistol... She didn't want to hurt anybody so she refused to use it..." Amata whispered as he shook his head.

"She's always tried talking her way out of fights... But always used violence as a second resort. This is a side of her I've never seen before..." He whispered paying close attention as she hacked a terminal and ran out of the Vault.

Covered in tears.

"Now imagine seeing that every time you close your eyes. Every time you blink. Every time you sleep..." Cywren's voice howled from the doorway as she looked at the two.

"Why didn't you use the gun?" Timebomb asked quietly as she shook her head.

"I was so scared. Those people I killed were like family to me and I killed them! I killed them, Timebomb!" She yelled as he stood up and hugged her.

"I'm sorry, Cy..." He whispered as she hugged him back as Amata smiled.

Happy to see her best friend happy.
