A/N: This was just a random idea I had. I have no idea whether or not to continue it or not, so I am going to leave that up to you. I thought it would be funny if Shepard met a bunch of women who keep beating him at his own game. But no spoilers. Sadly I have no beta for this story but would like one, so I'll keep looking. Happy Easter everyone :D
Skrillexes
Zero huffed pressing back her fringe. This meeting was unbearable as all hell. As usual Udina was being a bastard because he wasn't getting things his way.
"We need the best for this job not some freaks who call themselves a team. Commander Shepard should lead this mission because he can get the job done unlike some unstable group of girls!" He practically yelled at Anderson.
That did it! She stood up from the table crossing her arms and pacing her way up to Udina, if he thought he could insult her girl he had another thing coming!
"Those 'freaks' as you so put it happen to be the N7's best and brightest even rivalling Commander Shepard. You cannot turn down this offer of help from us, my girls are the best at their job. Do not forget that ever!" Zero warned.
"My?" Udina spat at her.
Zero glared just as intensely. "I bought those girls up after they were left alone and abandoned. They are more of mine than they will be their parents or the Alliance's task force. They are the best agents you could hope for." Zero watched as he stood down a little discomforted.
He tried again to strike her down, obviously desperate that she was not bowing down to him. "But isn't Agent Sarius's family the ones who were-"
"Sarius's family is irrelevant. They denied her this, she left and cut all tie's with no regret!" Zero barked.
Anderson played peacemaker for the two as he saw Zero's eyes turn a deep crystal blue from their normal brown. "The situation should be simple. The Outkasts will be sent aboard the Normandy for this mission. I'll alert Shepard of his guests" Anderson said dismissing Udina, Zero stayed behind and sighed.
"You know she isn't going to like this" Zero said brushing aside her brown hair.
"She'll learn to get along with them. What happened to Satin wasn't anyone's fault, she went rogue and had to be dealt with. Sarius did her job and eliminated her. End of story. Where are they now anyway? Last report said they had downtime in Porta Rico," Anderson offered her a drink.
"They're on Benning. Sarius made sure everyone got a holiday. Damn girl is too overprotective of her squad, also no further artefacts have been found which is good in some levels. I hope you know what you are doing with my girls, they aren't called the Outkasts for nothing, you know?" She laughed.
"Oh I know in more ways than one" Anderson said.
Sarius entered the psionic testing room, letting her powers vibrate a little always relaxed her. She tied her blindfold and loaded her gun with the live rounds while mentally activating the simulation. Turrents lined the wall as well as targets, she let the track of Sleep away by Bob Acri play soothing her. She smiled and spread her arms as if to fly while the metal room around her changed to a forest grove.
Her guns held in place she began to spin fastly to the sound of the music beat firing at the turrents. To those who were watching because her shots were so precise would only hear the music playing,
"Having fun?" Zero questioned stopping the music. Sarius lifted her blindfold to see Zero smiling at her.
"It helps with the dreams, I know I'm supposed to rest but this feels so...well better than dreams ever could do to my powers" She said.
Zero as always was interested in her girls continued to press on for answers. "They are acting up? Your powers are failing?" Zero pressed making Sarius defensive.
"No it's just that...so many times I remember Satin bring here for those nightmares to erase them. Sorry pitying the dead won't bring her back. It never does" She shrugged. "Do we have a mission?"
Zero clasped her hands together playing with them. "Yes a reassignment issue. We are having the girls and you assigned to a ship for transport to obtain an artifact in the Widow System, I suggest you get ready. Your environmental hardsuit it is downstairs and weapons all fixed and ready Agent" Zero said.
"Wait, what ship?" Sarius asked.
"You remember the Normandy?" Zero questioned.
"Yes, what about Athena? I haven't heard from her since a year ago. Last I head she was doing freelance work as a DI" Sarius answered.
"She's already being taken care of as we speak"
"And Crimson along with Crysis?" Sarius raised an eyebrow wanting to know of her two teammates.
"Downstairs, oh and Crimson has taken a liking to her new hairstyle you should know. So no teasing." Zero said smirked leaving her confused but not enough to press the matter. Only one more agent to get.
Athena looked at the dead body shaking her head.
"Any clue who?" She asked Bailey who shrugged.
"A few suspects. Sorry Agent, looks like you going to have to go. Special task force is coming in" Athena scoffed.
They were definitely not as special as her and her team. She looked up at the building the body had fallen off, she went up to the stairwell and sneakily broke into the car park he had jumped off. Looking around she checked over the edge and feeling around for any trace of another source that could have been connected. She saw a black skycar land near as four people came out all human. She kept checking around until the clues around her made her look outside. She saw one look up catching her gaze. She recognised him. Commander John Shepard.
"What do you think happen?" He demanded.
"I'm asking you the same thing, you didn't happen to kill him cause your bored did you?" She said pissing him off.
"Stop!" She backed off and ran as fast as she could some may call it cheating but she enhanced her powers to help her.
Jumping down two flights of stairs she kept bolting away. Something pulled her back which she recognised as biotics. "PUT ME DOWN!" She screamed.
"Lady you didn't stop!" A male voice said holding her down.
Athena groaned and threw him off with a Psionic blast checking to make sure she hadn't killed him by throwing him into the wall. She slid down the banister before jumping off and running away down the car park's back alley, only to be blocked off again by two people a man and woman with a riffles.
"I swear to god you don't take a hint" She mumbled putting her hands up.
She was taken to an interrogation room and sat down behind a table ignoring them talking to her. She felt a tug presence around the room, smirking while they were talking to her as she rolled her head back.
"Zero I really don't care anymore. You can come in" She said as the door opened. Her boss appeared in her regular uniform.
"Agent Athena is being released on Alliance Custody as well as Erebos. Athena outside now, we are being reassigned again. Sarius is going to come get you if you don't," Athena nodded and stood up glaring at the Commander.
"I would check your friend incase I accidentally gave him a concussion" She suggested walking out in style.
Sarius was leaning against a wall with an eyebrow raised. "You used your powers?" She accusingly asked.
"Oh come on! You would have done the same thing Kaida!" She responded.
"If I didn't have a choice left Ella! Why do you have to insist on being so reckless?" Sarius defended.
"The same reason why you have to be so guilt ridden and responsible for every little mistake we make!" Athena screamed back.
"Girls!" Zero caught their attentions and they stopped their argument. "There is a terrorist on the run with a kill joy artifact that could kill everyone! Don't you dare start now" They glared at each other until they had to move.
"What about Sofia and Icara?" Athena asked.
"Crimson and Crysis stayed around the clock actually checking into the program. We have to go by call signs on this every time, otherwise we are compromised unless you want to talk mentally oh and the Commander was checking your ass out" Sarius smirked.
"So what's going on?" Athena questioned ignoring the comment.
"We have a terrorist lose with a devanchi artifact and loaded with enough firepower to challenge every single freaking army there is, believe it or not we think it's an Asari! Also might be a Psionic as well" Sarius responded.
"Better for more than table dancing huh? Why an Asari?" She questioned.
"Simple only Asari had access to the vault it was in. And out off all the artifacts in there...it chose the one that ends the fucking galaxy!" Sarius shook her head. "Oh and some good news, that Commander will be our ship host already sorted, oh uh, yeah we also have to attend a party at the end of this to say our program is a fucking breeze and to let it stay open" Sarius shrugged at her heading outside to the skycar.
"Wait, what?" Athena's jaw dropped.
