Yeah, I know, I did a mini series for Garrus Vakarian from Mass Effect. I couldn't resist, after playing number two and three, my favorite has always been Garrus. I pick him every time. But hey what can I say. I'm also a freak. A good freak. An awesome freak. LONG LIVE THE FREAKS! Sorry, really tired and it's midnight. Booker DeWitt story will be updated soon, and so will Missing Keepsake. So don't go too far.
Don't own any of the characters, this plot is all just for fun and smut :P Because everyone loves a little smut. And if you say you don't I won't believe you 3 Enjoy!
Chapter I: Calling Long Distance
"Shepard. I need a favor."
"What is it Garrus?"
"A friend of mine is in trouble. Apparently some Blue Sun Mercs decided to get their hands on her, and sell her off on Omega if 'Archangel' doesn't make an appearance."
"Who is she?"
"Rose Hadley. Her father and mine were caught on in a tight situation on my home planet, her father saved mine and ever since they've been like peas in a pod. I haven't seen her up close and in person for years though, but I know that she's a good kid. Smart, with a lot of potential, and survivalist. She use to make sculptors back in her academy years, but stopped when her twin brother died. Ever since, her inspirations been, a little hard to find these past few years."
"I can only imagine trying to loose someone that was a part of you at birth."
Garrus nodded, his eyes focused on the galaxy out of one of Normandy's many windows. This one, specifically in one of the lounges. Then the Turian looked to the Commander, eyes narrow, "She went through hell being separated like that. From what I heard, it was a gut retching end to the boy. I made sure to send regards and all. We even started talking on vid com, making idol chat since I was stationed most of the time. But then one day she told me she got into a scruff with one of the Mercs at that club, After Life. And after that they've been giving her trouble. Also, I heard afterwards that the Blue Suns just won't leave her alone. Next thing you know…"
"She's gone."
"Exactly. They have a small hangout where they like to keep near the club, But it's always heavily guard."
"Okay, I'll help. Under one condition."
"And what's that?"
"You buy around of shots afterwards." Garrus laughed, "Deal. Omega, here we come."
"Ah yeah man, human chicks are always so much prettier with blue eyes and long golden hair." One laughed.
"Yeah, but those aren't ordinary blues. They're way to vibrant, and light to be just regular eyes."
Another was walking about the bounded girl, watching as he watched her with preying eyes, almost impatiently he had waited for a respond from the girl's father, or someone to get this girl off their hands. It have been just about the money, but this girl was too valuable to pass up. Specially after they found out about her connection to Archangel.
The hell they weren't going to exploit that. Rose wasn't entirely sure how they got that information, but still she remained silent, unwilling to give any information she knew of Garrus. She was a mute, with already a bash to the head and blood trickling down the side of her face.
At one point, she spat in one of the mercs face, and in return received a busted lip. They weren't usually so violent towards woman. Usually, but this girl was a fighter, she fought and struggled the entire time she was in their care, hoping at one point they wouldn't be able to handle her, and she could escape. But all attempts seem to fail, now, she had exhausted all her energy and glared daggers at any merc that tried to come near her.
One in particular who could keep his eyes to himself. And Rose didn't like it. She knew that look very well, and she feared what would happen if someone didn't show up soon.
Shit...What can I do? These restraints are killing my wrist. I need something sharp, something…Anything…
"Awe she looks scares. Poor baby." Someone suddenly laughed while another squatted in front of her, "Hoping your guardian's going to come a save you human?" Rose only growled at him, and attempted to bite at his face when he got too close.
When he jumped back falling on his ass the other mercs laughed, "Ha ha! Looks like this ones got some bite to her bark guys." The man of course on his butt stood up, more pissed off and if anything embarrassed, making the blonde smirk confidently at him.
"Shut up!" Not everyone quieted down right away, mostly the guy in charge of the group, a Krogan, "Come on Vvlod, don't take it so personal. It only makes you look weak."
"Weaker huh? I'll show you…Come here you little bitch!" Quick to turn on the girl, the Batarian scooped the girl by her hair, about to attempt drastic measures, but before he could take out his gun, he was immediately shot in the head, and released the girl's hair, as he fell to the floor. Rose didn't waste anytime. She knew in situations like this, it was better to take cover.
"Stand your ground men! ATTACK!" The Krogan roared giving the command, and each gun was fired. But each merc didn't last long. One by one they were easily picked off like flies, each one closest to her getting more and more distant by the second until eventually all of them were shot down. No one spared.
Rose's heart was pounding like mad against her chest, not entirely sure who was shooting, and what they wanted, until she looked up from the crates she hid behind and saw the familiar face that brought her the relieve and rapture she needed. She jumped up running towards the two, meeting them at the bottom of the stairs, where she quickly embraced Garrus from around his wide torso, "Garrus! I'm so glad you came." He hadn't expected that, but it was brief, leaving him slightly taken back before he actually noticed the blood on her face.
"They hurt you didn't they. Damn bastards. I should've kept the one that caused this little number on you alive." He wanted to touch her, putting up a hand to where the wound on the side of her head laid to examine it, but never actually touching it.
Yet when he did, the blonde woman merely took his bulky hand in her small ones, and smiled as much as she could without splitting her lip more. It took both of her hands to hold his properly, but when she got a good grip on it, she squeezed to let him know she was fine, "It's alright. We can worry about that later. Right now we need to get out of here before more of them show up. You must be Commander Shepard. Garrus speaks highly of you."
"Likewise. You know, for reason I imagined you to be Turian."
"Eh, a lot of people assume that when they meet me. But me and Garrus go way back."
"Well, we can reminise back on the Normandy. If the Blue Suns want her so badly, it must be for something big. Or at least worth stopping. And we're completely out in the open."
"Right. Well, do you have a gun on you?" Rose looked to her friend with a blank stare, hoping he wasn't serious, "Wrong question to ask. Here." Seeing a gun from the mercs on the ground to give to Rose for protection, "You can use this."
"Thanks." She opened the chamber and reloaded the machine pistol, hearing the gun hiss as it refilled itself.
"Let's move."
There were a lot of mercs on the way back to take in part of the deal in capturing Archangel, but when the girl being rescued by none other than the legendary Spectre Commander Shepard, and Garrus Vakarian, it was an all out gold mine for the mercs. Unfortunately none of them even got close the trio, and before long, Shepard called in his other reliable companion, "Joker, I need a shuttle to the Omega After Life district!"
"Roger that." They ran up on a shuttle opening in a small area that was free of other shuttles, and the group jumped inside unscaved for the most part.
"Well that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. First time they attempted to get me it seemed a lot more difficult."
"Maybe we're just getting better at what we do."
"Yeah, maybe." Garrus looked to Rose for a moment, seeing that she took was staring at him, both of them smiling in relief. Even if Garrus couldn't really smile, he definitely was. He was happy to see his friend alive. Yet damning himself he didn't come sooner to stop those men from ever laying a finger on her head.
Suddenly he felt the warmth of a hand on his, and looked to the blonde girl, almost enchanted by her. Why? Because she was pretty? Sure, she was, but that couldn't be the only reason. But then he noticed something else about her.
Her eyes. Had they always been that light. They…Almost glow." Getting caught up in finding his new companion, he suddenly noticed something else, her very, very pale skin. He didn't remember her looking so sickly, and then the next thing he knew, Rose's eyes rolled into the back of her head, collapsing right into Garrus' lap, "Rose? What-," He put his hands to her ribs, hoping to sit her up, but when he did, he noticed a large blood stain around the curve of her body, around her abdomen.
Garrus' eyes widened at the sight, and sat up the girl against him, "Commander." He then called for Shepard to stop her wound from bleeding more.
From what they could tell she had been shot by one of the mercs without taking noticed, and passed out from the loss of blood. Or it was just the shock, either way, she was in need of help, "Joker I need medical attention get Dr. Chakwas up to the doors now!"
Next - ChapterII: Taboo
After spending only a day and a couple of hours with Rose up has sent Garrus over the edge of utter confusion and cotton mouth. He's not entirely sure how he's feeling or how he should let Rose how he truly feels.
So, after Shepard's suggestion of a night on the town, Garrus is scared out of his mind about how Rose feels about him, no doubt it may be the other way around.
Look I hope it wasn't too bad, if you guys liked it well then that means I did my job, the next part will be up soon. Tootles!
