Elder Maxson X Institute Leader

There was always some type of trouble with the Institute and the Brotherhood. Mainly over the fact the institute was 'Kidnapping' people and using them to make copies but there was another....The leaders of both groups had a long lasting hatred for each other and it all started when they were children

{Flashback}

"Maxson Maxson Maxson!" You cried as you ran into his room only to see the boy reading a comic book

"What?" He asked "They've actually built a play area for us!" You squealed in excitement "A play area?" He asked and you quickly ran upto him, grabbed his hand and then ran out of the room, showing him the new climbing frame and swing set that was installed for the children of the vault

"Look! The Overseer had it installed because many of the kids started to get sad," you frowned in fake sadness "He said that it would boost our..Morale? Whatever that means." You said and he looked at you like you was crazy

"(Y/N)? Are you being serious? We haven't got time to play on this thing! We should be going to school and learning! We won't be here forever you know?" He said "I know that, we're only 9! We have plenty of time before we have to leave." You said and he frowned in thought......

"Fine, But only for a bit okay? My father wanted to speak to me about something." He said

"That's okay!" You cheered as you ran upto the climbing frame and started climbing, Maxson following closely behind you making you laugh "Race you!" You giggled loudly as you reached up and pulled yourself up even higher.

Little did you know that Arthur had a dirty little trick up His sleeve, as you reached for the next piece of rope he grabbed your ankle and pulled hard making you let go of the rope and you landed on the steel floor with a loud 'BANG'

"Ow!" You started to tear up as Maxson continued to climb the frame and when he reached the top he laughed as he looked down at you

"You wouldn't survive out in the wasteland! You have to play dirty to win." He said with a smile on his face, obviously proud with the fact that he had won

"That was cheating! It's not fair!" You cried as Maxson rolled his eyes "People aren't going to play properly (Y/N), you have to cheat to get further in life." He said and you shook your head "No! Our teacher said cheating is bad and they always get what they deserve in the end." You said "Yeah, they get big castles and armies." He said

"Cheaters are bad." You said gently, your back hurting from the fall, yet you wasn't crying now..instead you gently started to push yourself up off the floor

"They are not!" He snapped "Are too!" You yelled back "Not!" He defended "Are! They are smelly, dirty cheaters who can't win anything by playing properly." You snapped "Well you are a stupid, big head who is a sore loser!" You stomped your foot in anger

"Get down here!" You yelled "No, this is where I belong, at the top! Looking down at the stupid fool who lost." You growled in anger "I'm gonna tell Gomez!" You cried "Go and cry to Gomez then." He chuckled harshly as you stomped off, crying over the fact that you lost to your 'Friend'

After that day it had actually changed you, you couldn't trust anyone properly again. You didn't talk to Maxson any longer, sure you'd see him around the vault every now and then but you didn't speak a word, he had lost your trust

But one day...things changed

You was sat in your room, just playing a board game on yourself, you no longer had any friends due to the trust issues you now had. You wouldn't allow anyone new into your life and wasn't planning to any time soon
