Shepard fumbled desperately for the switch to open the hatch, his lungs burning for air. As he found the red, big button Benjamin pushed it down with the last of his force, unwilling to once again suffocate to death. The Mechs' hatch finally opened and the commander stumbled out, falling to his knees. He tried to get up and walk, but his legs felt like spaghetti and the man fell onto his face. He knew that he had to move - the deck was swarmed by husks - but his body wouldn't obey him. For the first time since he was brought back to life, he actually thought he was going to die again. Though this time in the hand of husks... What a pathetic way to die, he he felt two strong hands lifting him up and helping him forward. The commander could hear the majors voice, though it sounded as if he was under water, his head beating like a drum.
"Shepard's back! Cortez talk to me!" Kaidan said in his husky voice, making Benjamin shiver despite his state. He wanted to say something, but no words would leave his mouth. Suddenly the com sparked to life.
"We're good to go! I don't know what the commander did, but the pulse is offline!" The two men walked forward, slowly making their way toward the now arriving shuttle. Bullets danced past the two men, swishing right beside their heads. The redhead struggled with every step, despite the Majors help. But they soon made it to the shuttle and as he hit the floor, Shepard could feel the darkness creep closer. All he wanted to do was to close his eyes and sleep. Kaidan's voice was what brought him back to reality.
"..epard! Shepard! Can you hear me?! He's freezing!" he felt the other man's hands touching his cheek. The commander suddenly drew a sharp breath, followed by nasty coughing.
"Shepard, are you ok?" the major asked, worry written all over his face as Shepard stumbled back towards the seats, coughing up water. Benjamin continued his coughing as he looked up into Alenko's chocolate eyes. Oh! How he loved those eyes!
"Yeah... Yeah, I'm fine. Hell of a headache though…" he answered, voice raspy. Shepard put his elbows on his knees and sighed.
"Never do that again! You hear me!" Kaidan ordered and Benjamin couldn't help but smile.
