A/N: this is my character; he has slicked back jet black hair(like Phil from the Hangover) golden-ish eyes they pulsate between bright blue and dark gold(dark blue was the original colour after the 11th line he has the strange eyes after injecting) and broad shoulders, OC's will be sprinkled throughout the story, I will be referencing movies and other games, and don't flame I tried my hardest with grammar and the story and the timeline I tried to get it to match canon if something is wrong with the time of events just let me know, I will change it and I can take constructive criticism but not over the top, the last time I posted a Mass Effect story(which I removed to make the world a brighter place) it went horribly, hopefully this is an improvement :) and some of this was done on a different computer so some lines will start with a capital letter some will not, over time I will correct this, also it is NOT been Beta read, if you review just let me know about any mistakes

Disclaimer: I own a xbox, a laptop, a bed, a desk, a house and a car but I DO NOT own Mass Effect or any of the games I mention unfortunately, just my OC(s)

WARNING: I include alternate dimensional travel, if this bothers you don't read my story, and don't post a review just to say you hate it, give some constructive criticism, other than that, WELCOME TO HELL! errm I mean, welcome to my story, ahem, sorry...

=present day(in the story)- Sicily, Italy- December 2012=

I was 16 when I found it

the thing that would change my life for the better

it was Christmas 2012

I was out walking in the snow with a hoodie on, an IPod playing music and my hood up to protect from the blistering cold, when I saw a box on the floor marked 'new Omni-Tool- sponsored by Cerberus'

I chuckled, a prop for something? I had played all three Mass Effects so I knew what it was and who Cerberus were

I raised an eyebrow and opened the box

inside was a syringe type thing

all my sensible side was screaming 'no! no! no! no! no! no! no! no!'

but my incautious side screamed 'go on just do it'

so you can probably imagine what my choice was so... yeah...

anyway so I 'shot up' as it were

I was never one for addictive substances such as drugs or alcohol, even though I dealt them I did get into crime such as extortion, I wasn't a bad kid, I never shot anyone and it was good money

but I figured 'what's the harm?'

well... I found out

I stood there for a second, then everything flashed purple no, pulsed purple is more like it

suddenly I felt very dizzy

with my senses addled along with standing on an icy pavement made me fall to the freezing concrete, my consciousness leaving me as I lay there, but I also felt immense power course through my veins, as well as immense cold

I blacked out

suddenly I was in a great hall

"congratulations Lord Protector" came a voice

High Overseer Campbell?

from Dishonored?

another flash

"use my Mark wisely" said... The Outsider? the fuck?

yet another flash

"congratulations Sierra 117" holy shit... Halo

another fucking flash

"drop the vial Mercer!" Blackwatch, fuck me!

of course he did but it broke

it was in my blood

not just Mercer's but I could feel it

flashy flashy flashy

"so brother are you innocent?" that would be Death and I'm War

you'll never guess what, another flash!

"-been with every man in this hall!"

"every man except you Thor" I was Baldur, great!

you know how it goes

"you are now an Assassin, Ezio"

flashbang!

"the Hero of Riverdane, Teryn Loghain!" I was Loghain?! fuck that!

=2176-unknown planet- unknown date=

it was still pulsing purple

when I awoke for real I noticed a presence

I was standing up, my vision blurry, my knees buckling

I walked a few steps before collapsing

"is that a 16-year old boy, where did he come from?" asked a half panicked voice

then loud explosions

and loud sounds...

gunfire

I'd know the sound anywhere

my eyes snapped open and I was laying as I was on the ice on my stomach with my head turned left and my nose bloody

I sat up and noticed two injured-

no...

quarians?

whatever they were they were laying either side of me, moaning and groaning as were their assault rifles and pistols

I don't know what possessed me to do this next part

I picked up both sets sheathing the pistols and holding the assault rifles then I calmly stood, feeling the eyes on my back

I think a few bullets landed in me, somehow it didn't affect me much, just pushed me back a little

my IPod was still playing weirdly

I walked forward slowly lifted the rifles, pulled the triggers and held them down

the noise was deafening and the smoke was choking me

but I persevered

I felt like Zaeed

then I heard a click and threw them at the enemy not letting the smoke clear so I knew who it was

I instantly unsheathed the pistols and damn near sprained my fingers pressing the triggers over and over

another click

I lifted my guns so that they were pointing upwards, and let the smoke clear

I admired my handiwork and there was a trail of dead space pirates between me and the cover 5m away about 15-20 dead altogether

I lowered my hands and let the pistols drop to the floor

I power walked back to the cover and hauled one of the quarians on to my back and began walking to their ship

the others just stared as they watched me carry an adult quarian, suit and all toward their shuttle

"well? help the other one!" I said in a harsh voice

they helped their comrade and followed me toward their shuttle

I set him down in the med-bay

I sat near the back on my own staring at my partially burned hands from the overheating

I noticed that-

were my hands metal?

the skin was my own but if I needed to punch something it would come in handy

then the skin healed...

the Mercer virus...

one of the quarians brought me a bowl of cold water and I dipped my hands in absentmindedly, cleaning the blood off

I saw us approaching a massive fleet of ships, presumably the Migrant Fleet

I glanced in a mirror just before I left and noticed I looked a little older but not by much, I had a small beard

they put me in a room and decontaminated me, I felt the burning hot sprays of water on my clothes

they threw me a hazmat suit

"this will do for now, we will make you a proper one later... if you stay"

we walked through the halls of, I think it's the Rayya if my memory serves me correct, as well as my hearing

they put me in containment room and told me to wait a while

as I calmed down I took more notice to my bullet wounds, and my rage seemed to give me the Krogan bloodrage thing, while I was in the state I seemed to adapt a redundant nervous system

I pulled out the bullets with a bit of pain following, a few had gone straight through but the virus cleared that up

once all the bloodied bullets were on the floor around me the skin started healing where they had once been, if I took too many bullets I knew I could die

I sat down cross-legged and meditated to clear my mind

then the door opened

there were three quarians, two had assault rifles and the other had quite a formal posture

"come with me" he said

I nodded and got up

I was practically paraded down the halls of the ship

some kids in bubbles were watching me walk while ohhing and ahhing

then I was in front of the Admiralty court

"one, why am I here?" I asked suddenly

they looked shocked I would speak out of turn

"you are here because, in the middle of a battle you stumbled out of a shuttle, which was thoroughly checked beforehand"

"I don't know what happened, I just woke up in the heat of battle, assessed the situation and acted on it"

"nonetheless, you sav-" he started

"I'm back" came a voice

the quarian I saved earlier walked to the podium and stood among the Admirals

"where do you belong human?" he asked

"nowhere, I just remember waking up between you and the other guy"

"well you saved me, I owe you my, life"

"you don't owe me anything"

"you say you have nowhere to go?"

"yes…"

"if you want I will adopt you" he said

some gasps and murmurs from the audience

"Rael, you can't just…!" started an admiral

"do we not reward service? He saved the lives of our squad"

"very well, he will have to pull his weight like any other quarian, and he is your responsibility other than that I have no objections"

the other quarians seemed to agree

"this meeting is adjourned, wait here for Rael to get you"

I did as asked and sat, and waited

I meditated again

"come on" said a voice

I stood up and followed the quarian called Rael, I think that was Tali's dad wasn't it?

"you will meet my daughter, Tali'Zorah, don't worry if you feel underwhelmed in any way, she is a mechanical genius"

suspicions confirmed

"I'll try not to be to underwhelmed" I said, knowing I always had a soft spot for Tali in the game and that as soon as I heard you can romance her I was ecstatic

we entered his quarters and I surveyed my surroundings

I saw a girl around 14, give or take working on something,

"Tali, we have a new guest staying with us, I forgot to ask you your name"

"Bond, James Bond" I said with a smirk and lifted my eyebrow like Bond does

"Bond?"

I burst out laughing and was met with two blank faces or whatever

"just call me Silver, Kraven Silver" I used my dealer name, I gave up my real name long ago

"Silver?" he asked

"yep" I said

"this isn't another joke is it?"

"no, don't worry"

"ok, what skills do you have?"

I didn't want to tell them I got into mechanics because of them in Mass Effect, I had to make up another reason

"I'm a mechanic, and a good shooter apparently"

"what made you want to be a mechanic?" asked Rael

"I'm a mechanic to!" chirped Tali

I smiled at her and I'm pretty sure she blushed, I could see it in her movements, all the signs of embarrassment

oh yeah, I've also got a 'master's degree' in psychology(five years spent doing the course)

"family business" I replied

"ah, I see"

"so, what are you working on?" I asked Tali

"a thruster for father" she replied

"he's that bad is he? who told you?" I chuckled

he swatted me on the back of the head for that

"ow, ok I deserved that"

"I know"

"wait, did you put the circuit board in?" I asked

she stared at me, dumbfounded

"I…I... how did I make that mistake?"

I could practically feel Rael raise an eyebrow

"it's ok, a simple mistake" I said and helped her take it apart, insert the circuit board and put it back together, I'd always enjoyed rocket thrusters and managed to make a few myself, albeit on a much smaller scale

"thank you Silver" she said

"that's ok Tali" I replied

I looked into her eyes and was mesmerised by them...

"you will be sleeping in the same room I'm afraid, unless you build your own"

I almost jumped out of my skin(hazmat suit) when Rael suddenly spoke

"I will, it will take a few hours, but I will, anyway I'm gonna go to bed"

"good night" said Rael

"night" said Tali

"goodnight you two"
