"Liara! I… urmm… I mean Dr T'Soni! Are you ok?" The six-foot woman screamed as Dr Liara T'Soni dropped to the ground from the force field holding her up.

"Dr! Are you ok?" Shadow stood over Liara.

"Yes, yes I believe I am fine." Liara said as she clapped her hands together to get rid of the dust from the floor.

"Good, you worried me then." Shadow smiled and held her hand out for Liara to take. Liara grabbed her hand and Shadow pulled her up.

"Dr I'm Shadow and this is Commander Shepard of the SSV Normandy, systems alliance navy." Shepard took a step forward and shook Liara's hand.

"Pleasure to meet you Dr. Can we have your help?" Shepard asked politely. "Not what I expected from the butcher of Torfan but…" Liara quickly zoned back in to the world.

"With?" Liara asked suspiciously.

"There is a guy, names Saren, spectre, or so we all thought. He's gone rogue and is trying to take over the galaxy. We need your help to find him." Shadows said with her deep but feminine voice, while she tried to sort the M8 rifle in her hands out. Liara actually found it quite seductive

'I would give anything to hear that voice just speak to me about a relationship.' Liara said to herself, and then shook away any chance of anything happening.

"Ok. Ok, I'll help you, lead the way Shadow." Shadow gave a quick smile and turned her back on Liara. Shepard started to lead the way to the ship, followed by Shadow and Liara, Liara had heard a lot about Shadow, and most of it bad, but she wondered how a woman who had been so kind to her had killed a whole squadron.

'What if that was all an act? She couldn't have killed all those people, could she?' Liara shook her head and got the thought out of her head.

"So, Shepard you and Williams?" Shadow laughed at the very thought.

"Are just friends." Shepard said playfully.

"Yeah, that's not what she said when she was drunk last night. She said something about her unconditional love for the beauty that runs the ship." Shadow burst out laughing while she was still walking.

"Yeah ok, so maybe we have a little thing going on." Shepard giggled.

"Saucy… You gonna spill?" Shadow said in a little seductive playful voice.

"No, and you don't need to know." Shepard said harshly but still jokingly.

"Touchy sis, don't worry." Shadow tapped Shepard on the shoulder.

"Oh by the goddess, you two are sisters?" Liara jumped into the conversation randomly. Shepard and Shadow looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"No, we've just known each other for a long time and just say we're sisters. Oh and plus I'm about 10 years younger than her." Shadow said whispering the last bit as Shepard turned around and gasped as she nearly slapped Shadow.

"I'm not that old!" Shepard said anrily.

"Oh goddess." Liara began to blush. Shadow put her arm around Liara's shoulder; Liara began to go weak at the knees and to make things worse Shadow whispered in her ear

"But she's taken by someone and I'm not." Liara began to blush while Shadow winked at Liara, removed her arm from Liara's shoulder and began to walk ahead. Shadow's gunblade swung as she walked and her hips moved like she was a catwalk model. She wore Black retro all stars, black skinny jeans, a silver spiky belt and a black tank top and on the black tank top, 2 set's of dog tags hung around Shadow's neck and shone in the sunlight. She had bracelets with names on them and a wristband half way up her arm. She had broad shoulder and arms with muscle, Liara could see the six pack from underneath her tank top. Her long brown hair and side fringe glistened in the sun. How did Liara like her when she'd only just met her? And why was Shadow interested in her?
