A/N: I have never written a sci-fi story before, so if I get anything wrong, please let me know. I just really wanted to write something that included these wonderfully crafted characters.

And of course I don't own any of them, they belong to BIOWARE. :D

"Ow Ow Ow, Doc! Careful." Luckily for Shepard the medbay was empty save her and the Doctor.

"Turns out the great Commander Shepard does feel pain. Probably could have fooled everyone at the Dark Star last night." Doctor Chakwas was rubbing medigel in the Commanders wound, being a little more forceful that usual. The Commander shouldn't have gotten into a bar fight in the first place. You would think the savior of the citadel would have more control over her temper. In the few years the Doctor had known her, Robyn Shepard had always acted recklessly when alcohol was in the equation. She had also noticed that Shepard was getting into even more trouble after this new crew member Jack had arrived. It was like they were teenage boys when not on the battle field.

"Jack started it." Shepard scooted to the edge of the bed and tried to get down. The doctor immediately shot her an angry look and Shepard froze. She knew when the Doctor was not messing around. This was definitely one of those times.

"I'm sure she did Commander. I wonder what Operative Lawson is going to say when she gets wind of this little incident." It was as if Miranda had eyes and ears placed in every room on the Normandy… oh wait, she did.

"I can tell you Ms. Lawson is not pleased." Miranda stood at the entrance to the medbay, looking like a pissed off krogan.

"Are you all finished Doctor Chakwas. I would like to have a word with our great Commander here." Doctor Chakwas smiled.

"She's all yours operative." And with that the doctor exited the medbay. Hopefully when she returned it wouldn't be completely destroyed by the two biotics.

"What the hell were you thinking Shepard? You could have seriously been injured! The whole Lazarus project would have been destroyed."

"What? No, Commander are you okay? Is there anything I can get you?"

Before Robyn knew what was happening Miranda had her pinned up against the wall with a ridiculously strong biotic field. How come she never showed this kind of strength in battle. She must have been holding back. If that was the case, Robyn considered pissing her off more often.

"I swear Commander, if you get into another bar fight before this mission is over, the Reapers will be the least of your worries." There was an intense anger burning in Miranda's eyes. Normally Robyn would just shrug angry Miranda off, figuring she was just a stick in the mud; However, past the anger was a fear that Shepard hadn't seen before. Did Lawson actually care about her as more than a project, or was she just afraid of what the Illusive man would do to Oriana?

"I'm sorry." Wait, no excuse or lame story to escape the wrath? Miranda was confused. Normally Shepard would weave some story either blaming Jack or the offending party. She had never apologized.

Miranda slowly let Shepard down. The two women looked at each other, slightly shocked at the other's reaction. Shepard never apologized, and Miranda never cared. What had changed?

Miranda didn't stick around to find out. She turned on her heels, practically running out of the medbay and leaving Robyn confused and rather sore. Robyn crawled back onto the bed in the medbay and began to get sleepy. She had forgotten that Doctor Chakwas had given her a sedative. As she drifted off to sleep her dreams were plagued with images of a certain woman in a tight white suit.

"Stand down now, Jack!" Shepard was awoken from her slumber rather abruptly by Garrus' voice. "I'm not afraid to shoot you."

"That fucking bitch needs to die and I need to be the one killing her." Shepard rubbed her eyes until she could focus on the new visitors in the room. Jack was squirming in Grunt's arms as Garrus had his pistol pointed at her face. She was covered in blood which caused Robyn to panic.

"What the hell is going on here?" The three intruders looked over at Shepard.

"Jack needs medical attention as you can see. She would not willingly come here, so Grunt and I are her escorts."

"I am only here because Cerberus Cheerleader decided to 'put me in my place'. As soon as these assholes let me go she is dead."

"Miranda did this to you? When?" Jack struggled against Grunts strong grasp.

"Stop moving female, I can crush you." Grunt squeezed a little harder.

"Jack! Stand down! That is your commanding officer's order. I need to know what happened. Garrus, lock the door." The turian did as he was asked and returned to his position in front of the psychopath.

"Grunt is going to let you go. If you try anything I will finish what Miranda started." Jack looked into Robyn's eyes. She respected the commander, hell more than she had ever respected anyone in her life.

"Okay." Robyn nodded at Grunt. The Krogan placed her on the bed across from Shepard.

"Start from the beginning please." Jack shifted uncomfortably on the bed.

"I was just minding my own fucking business when I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. I figured it was you, Shepard, since you're the only one who ever comes down there. Before I had anytime to react she had thrown me up against the wall with her biotics, which aren't even that good."

"Good enough to lift you off your feet." Jack shot Shepard an 'eat shit and die' look.

"That's just because she caught me off guard."

"Go on Jack."

"She began yelling at me. Telling me that if you didn't need me she would kill me right then and there because you were way more important. She threw some more threats at me, but you know I tend to tune her out. I was trying to fight my way out of her biotic field but she must have noticed, because next thing I know I was flying through the air. This…" she tried to lift her shoulder but it was obviously dislocated "was from that first throw. This. " she turned around and revealed the huge gash down her back. " was from the second throw. And this…" she bent her head down and revealed a huge gash on the back of her skull " was why she got away. Because it knocked me the fuck out."

"Garrus, get Doctor Chakwas." Miranda had really fucked up Jack. She knew operative Lawson hated the tattooed liability, but she didn't know that she would try and rip her apart, literally.

"She deserves to die Shepard."

"No one is going to die. You and Lawson aren't allowed in the same room, and I won't be taking you on missions together. Doctor Chakwas is going to look at you and fix all those injuries. I will talk to Lawson and I don't want to hear another word about it, understood?" Jack scoffed, but nodded.

"Understood."

Robyn pulled herself off the bed and began to head out the medbay door.

"Oh and Shepard, sorry about the bar fight. My fault." Robyn smiled at the younger woman and exited the room. She had a few 'lovely' words to share with her XO.
