MacCready POV

"Are you sure this is the place?"

I asked looking down into the murky river water,

"I'm sure. Sturges said that sewer pipe is our way in."

She pointed to a grate,

"Ugh I hate water."

I groaned as (Y/N) bumped her hip against mine,

Then she jumped in,

I sighed and jumped in after her.

I could barely see my own hand infront of my face as I swam, following the current to the grate.

I could just see (Y/N) opening it and we both swam through,

"ARGGGGG-"

I pulled myself out of the water, my clothes drenched...

I stood and squeezed out the water from my hat.

There was a keypad on the wall and (Y/N) went straight towards it,

She typed in something then flipped a switch and I jumped at another grate opening beside us,

We both swam through quickly

We fought our way through some mounted guns and turrets,

Swam through more grates and sewer pipes,

Took out a few synths until FINALLY-

"HURRR- AH!"

(Y/N) kicked down an old rusted door,

It was... really clean inside.

But (Y/N) didnt waste any time gawking, I guess she had been here before.

She rushed to a lone terminal shoved in a holotape, typed in something and then--

There was a blinding blue light form the room beside us and then!

"Man that was something else!"

Preston followed by Sturges and a large group of minutemen came out of the room,

"I guess I'm still in one piece!"

He said checking to make sure he didnt loose any limbs,

He looked back at all the minutemen,

"Everyone ok?..."

Everyone nodded,

"Good. So this is the institute. They could have just held out down here forever. Why did they have to mess with us?"

(Y/N) rolled her eyes and looked over at Sturges who was already working on the terminal,

"They think they're better then us."

"They should have read their history. That hasn't ever turned out well. In any case, here we are. No turning back now... you're going to need this-"

He handed (Y/N) something,

"Its a Fusion Pulse Grenade, once its attached to the reactor it can detonate remotely. Get that on the reactor and we can destroy everything the institute has ever built. Just make sure we give the civilians a chance to escape, we're not here to commit mass murder. We better hurry, they're going to realize what's going on before too long."

Me and (Y/N) both gave him a nod,

Sturges reassured us that the teleporter would still be working by the time we got back,
