Romanced companions (+ Kent and Edward) finding out Sole was an actress Pre-War and was set to play the Mistress of Mystery on the Silver Shroud show?

I’ll do the boys you requested first and as far as I know, I remembered everyone! Someone let me know if I forgot anything. 😭

Kent: They were just sitting in his room in the Memory Den, chatting to themselves, when Kent mentioned the Mistress of Mystery. It reminded the Sole Survivor of something she’d long since forgotten. “You…? You almost did WHAT?” Kent’s eyes immediately lit up and he started digging around through some files. He pulled out some of his Mistress of Mystery photos and held them up to her. “This… You’re so beautiful! I think you’d make an even better Mistress of Mystery! You… basically we’re her! Granted, I’ve thought about it before, but I… I never!” She gave him a quick kiss and looked at the pictures herself.

Edward: Edward’s face turned in to a look of confusion instantly. “You were… a what? Actress? Shit, that makes sense.” The Sole Survivor pressed herself against his side and continued listening to him talk. “Silver Shroud and everything? That’s not really my thing, but I can’t imagine what being famous was like. Closest thing now is infamous, ya know?” “I know.” She answered and coincidentally pulled out a magazine she was in that she’d manage to find in the rubble. “You really haven’t aged a day, have you?”

Hancock: He’s absolutely amazed, but not to Kent’s extent. “God, wish we still had cool shit like that now. All we have is Magnolia. Not that she’s bad—“ He stopped mid-sentence and turned to look at the Sole Survivor. “You wanna act out somethin’ for me sometime? Costume and all? I’ll be your Silver Shroud any day, baby.” She laughed and kissed him, Hancock being totally unaware that while scouring Hubris, not only did she find the Silver Shroud and Grognak costumes, she found the costume she was supposed to wear during her role.

Deacon: “Oh god, please tell me you still have that suit. Wait, did they give it to you? Doesn’t matter. I could recreate it lickety split.” He ranted on and on. They were in downtown Boston, mid-fight, when she said one of the iconic lines. It then proceeded in to a long discussion for more about Sole’s past while they tried to stay alive. Later, after a few months of effort, he finally found and salvaged materials and made the Mistress of Mystery costume.

Danse: He didn’t really care too much about it. What bothered him though, was finding the Sole Survivor in some old pinups too. He was never interested in comics or the thought of television. “Is.. this you?” “Yeah….” It was a bit awkward between them for a while relationship-wise because the entirety of the Brotherhood of Steel probably thought about her at least once on a long shift.

Preston: Not really surprised. He cherished her, so it made sense that other people pre-war appreciated her talents too. “That’s… So cool!” He said, scooping her in to a hug. “I’m so lucky to have someone so talented in my life.” Whenever she felt down from there on out, he’d bring it up. Preston loved talking about how beautiful she was.

Old Longfellow: Could not give less of a crap about the past. He also hardly understood what TV really was. He’d never seen a working one in his life time so Sole decided to then find someone to fix one up for him or do it herself. “It’s cooler than you think, I promise.” She told him. His grumpy old self still wasn’t convinced.

Note: I’m not saying Gage is stupid by any means! I love him and I got to thinking that he maybe he wouldn’t have known how to read super well!

Gage (PERSONAL HEADCANON): Gage isn’t able to read super well, but he enjoyed comics rather secretly because they were mostly pictures. Sole helped him get it down better when they weren’t busy with other things. He secretly really appreciated it and appreciates her as the Mistress of Mystery more! The prospect of seeing her on TV would have been something rather exciting for him.

Maxson: Similar situation to Danse. He’d seen comic books before and knew about TVs from their technology searches in the BoS, but it had never occurred to him who she was and what she was going to do in her past life. “It’s.. Interesting?” He tried to sound intrigued when she told him, but in the new world, that sorta thing had just lost all meaning to the majority of people.

MacCready: “Holy shit!!!” Was all he could say. Over and over. “I knew I recognized you from somewhere when we met.. Honey, HOLY. SHIT.” He pulled out once of his comics hesitantly and then dragged her to his room where he had a Mistress of Mystery poster. “Why didn’t you tell me that this was going to be you? I wish we still had TV sometimes, fuc-“ She gasped at him swearing and he immediately tucked his comic book back in to his jacket in shame.

X6-88: He’d heard of comic books and TV and everything, but was never free to look at any of that. It was hard for him to try and show his interest when the Sole Survivor told him. “I can’t say I’ve heard of that ma’am,” He said. “But it sounds like you enjoyed that part of your life quite a bit, so if you find it interesting, I do too.” The Sole Survivor was a bit bummed at his response, but she dealt with it because X6’s emotions weren’t like everyone else’s.

Nick: He laughed a bit when she told him. “Guess we really are quite a team then. Does that make me the Silver Shroud?” She nodded and made him wear the outfit once just to see how it would have been. “Can I see some pictures or didn’t the show get that far?” She obliged him and handed over a few of the stills that’s they’d done in the old film noir style. “Can I keep one of those?”

Piper: Super stoked. She wrote a piece about it in the paper. “Silver Shroud— Actually Mistress of Mystery, Details Inside!” The Sole Survivor became the y’all of Diamond City again with that article. Piper was broad of her significant other beyond comprehension and spouted about how she was the girlfriend of the Mistress of Mystery for MONTHS.

Cait: Didn’t particularly care one was or another, but wanted to help remind the Sole Survivor of her past if it helped her with anything she may be dealing with. “Darling, Mistress of Misery—“ “Mystery, Cait.” “Mystery, sure, or not, you’re still as beautiful then as you are now.” That was as mushy as she got though for the time being, and left it at that.

Curie: “You.. Did what? Oh how lovely!” She took the old picture from Sole and examined it closely. “Can I keep this? We can use this to help examine how you’ve maintained over the years? If you want! Sorry.. I’m getting carried away. It’s all very intriguing!” Sole reassured her that it was okay and that she would definitely help her with the research.
