Mass Effect Salvation War 1
Chapter 2- Reunited

Commander Bailey was the first person Shepard saw when he regained consciousness.
-Bailey(surprised): Shepard, you're alive? You crazy son of a bitch I knew you'd make it.
-Shepard: Bailey, what happened?
-Bailey: You just became a three time hero. Whatever the you did caused the reapers to retreat. They're leaving every planet and heading back to whatever hell hole they came out of.
He picked Shepard up. Shepard was in some serious pain as he grunted in agony.
-Bailey: Sorry about that. You need medical treatment and fast.
-C-Sec Officer: Sir, Admiral Anderson and the Illusive Man are dead.
-Take both of their bodies. Anderson deserves a ceremony, as for the Illusive Man, well it seems like the right thing to do.
-Shepard: How long has it been, what about my crew and Earth?
-Bailey: It's only been an hour since the reapers stopped. Earth has been devastated but it can be rebuilt. The crew of the Normandy...I don't know about them. Shepards heart sank. He blacked out again. The next time he woke up he was in Huerta Memorial. Tali was the only one in the room sitting on a chair, holding his hand. Her head was down so she didn't notice him wake up.
-Shepard(Happily): Tali.
Her head flew up.
-Tali(Excited): Shepard!
She hugged him without thinking.
Shepard(In pain): Ugh!
She quickly moved off of him.
-Tali: Oh I'm so sorry. I didn't me...
-Shepard: It's ok, I'm just glad to see you're alright.
-Tali: I'm so glad to see you're alright ok too. Oh, I want to go tell everyone but I don't want to leave you.
Shepard thought of two things to say:
*Paragon: No stay here.
*Renegade: Go get everyone.
-Shepard: I just want to be with you right now. For a moment I thought I might not see you again.
-Tali: For a moment I thought the same thing. But then I remembered everything you've done and I knew you'd come back for me.
Her voice sounded like she was crying. Shepard raised his hand and put it on her helmet.
-Shepard: Tali, you don't have to cry. We're alive and we're together. I promise I won't leave you behind again.
-Tali: Keelah, I'll hold you to that.
She grabbed his hand, kneeled down and they looked into each others eyes. Even though Talis were covered by her helmet, Shepard could see them glistening through it.
-Tali: I love you.
Shepard thought of two things to say:
*Paragon: Say it back
*Neutral: Say what's already been said
-Shepard: I love you too. Miss Vas Normandy.
After a few minutes, Garrus came in to check on things.
-Garrus: Tali, how are...Shepard, I knew you'd pull through.
-Shepard(Happy): It's good to see you too Garrus.
-Garrus: I would offer to take you to the bar in congratulations once you're healed but I think I'll have to get in line as everyone in the galaxy is going to be offering to take you out for drinks. Hell the women will probably even being lining up at your door. Asking you to marry them.
-Shepard: Well I guess every women in the galaxy is going to be disappointed. All except one that is.
He turned to Tali smiling.
-Tali: You're making it very hard for me not to want and jump on you again.
-Shepard: I wouldn't mind the pain.
Tali giggled.
-Garrus: Ok well I'm going to go tell everyone you're awake, before things become awkward and I become the third wheel here.
-Shepard: Tali you should go with him. Go back to our apartment and get some rest. I'm sure you're tired.
-Tali: I'll be ok. I can just sleep on the chair
-Shepard: You deserve to sleep in a bed. I'll be here when you get back.
-Garrrus: Also your body's shaking a bit. Obvious sign of being tired.
-Tali: Yeah alright.
She hugged Shepard again only carefully this this time.
-Tali: I'll be back soon.
-Shepard: Good night sweet heart, I love you.
-Tali: I love you too.
Tali and Garrus walked out of the room again as Shepard fell back asleep.
