A/N: I own nothing, reviews are welcome.
Opening my eyes I saw a dull blue light radiating around the darkened room of the Normandy's med bay, feeling came back slowly the left side of my chest was sore from some thing I couldn't remember. Glancing over to my right I saw the other beds empty which meant that Shepard was awake my movement didn't go unnociced "Sit up slowly young man" a elderly british voice commanded.
I sat up propping my legs over the side of the bed as Dr. Chakwas walked over to me with a look of concern "Where am I?" I asked trying to keep in 'character'
"You're on the SSV Normandy, do you remember what happed before you lost consciences?" she asked, I shook my head and before any thing could progress further the med bay door opened revealing both Commander Shepard and Captain Anderson with a data pad in hand "How are you son?" the Captain asked
"A little sore sir" I replied, huh, where did the 'sir' come from; of course it was Keith David.
"I'm Captain Anderson, commanding officer of the SSV Normandy and this is Commander Shepard my XO" he said as he motioned to the blonde N7, "I have a few questions to ask you, While you were unconscious we did a back round check in the alliance personnel database". Not good and of course it would happen.
"You are the son of Alex Moreno, and Melissa Moreno, correct" I nodded my mind spinning. "You were a member of the 3rd Elysium Militia, correct" I nodded, so that could explain my familiarity with the avenger and military…
"You're… father pasted away from hart complications last week on Elysium where you had been living correct?" Again I nodded… wait back home wasn't he fine?
Anderson's face turned solemn "you're mother worked as a biologist in the city of New Haven on Eden prime, I have some bad news son the dreadnought that attacked Eden prime, the city of New Haven was it's landing zone." He finished softly, I froze my parent's were not only here but they were both dead.
"I've… also taken the liberty of having you transferred to the Normandy as additional ground support, we lost a man on Eden Prime and I'd hate to do this to you but you've fought geth, we are going to need all the help we can get, I am going to be needed in the CIC if you have any questions ask Commander Shepard she's heading to the Garage, oh we are twelve hours out from out destination" he finished as he left the med bay.
"Young man" Dr. Chakwas addressed "did you know you were a biotic as well?"
…
Wait i'm a. "Biotic" I asked quietly that wasn't normal…
"You don't have an amp though, and with your permission I can implant it" she said softly
"I. Uh… sure but i'm not trained" I replied scratching my head in confusion
"Leave that to me kid, the only amps that we have are the right sort for vanguards and I'll train you in how to do it since I'm a vanguard" Shepard reassured
"Ok lets do it then." I consented…
Several hours later…
"How long is my neck suppose to be sore," I asked, my neck throbbing from the implant
"A few hours, and don't scratch you neck it'll only irritate it" Shepard stated" Meet me in the Garage in a few hours for training, get a meal explore a little" turning Shepard headed out the door.
I glancing at the other remaining person in the room "where's the mess and a new pair of fatigues?" I asked remembering that I was wearing just a hospital gown
"The mess is right outside, and don't aggravate that injury or your amp young man", she stated handing me a pair of HSA blue fatigues.
Ten minuets later I was sitting at the mess hall, which was thankfully empty, I went over my Omni-tool which Lt. Alenko had given me right before he headed to the med bay for what I knew to be a headache and a bad one too.
I organized my thoughts first things first I was in the Mass Effect universe on the Normandy at that.
Second my parents were here and dead that along with the fact that I still had hazel colored eyes and brown hair was some comfort, oddly every thing hasn't hit yet.
Third memories were flooding to me of a childhood I never lived and- "so you're the other new guy we picked up at Eden Prime, wondered when you woke up " a energetic voice stated coming from my right and above me, turning I saw that it was a red-headed green eyed woman "crewwoman third class Sarah Shepard" she announced introducing her self as she moved a sat opposite to me "and you?"
"Militiaman Brandon Moreno" I replied, Shepard shouldn't have a sister, so much for canon and she doesn't look like her sister huh.
"I'm not surprised that the Captain transferred you on board, I've always wondered what it's like on a ground engagement, I mean I have the proper training but my mom and sister have always been sheltering me from it" she rambled
We both started to talk, her doing most of it with me making a few questions of my own and nodding as I listened closely, over the course of our three-hour conversation I learned several things. Commander Shepard's first name was Jane; second she was the Lioness of Elysium and a spacer. Her specialization or class was Vanguard but I already knew that, while her nine-tee year old younger sister was a combat rated infiltrator with almost no combat experience against any thing but drones and simulators. Which was odd since that role wasn't filled on the ship.
"You don't talk much do you" she asked, I nodded
"I think I'm going to need to get that fixed some time, well, I've gotta get some rack time or else I'll be late for my shift again, that or they'll wonder if I'm hacking again" she said as stood up and walked to the sleeping pods which left me with a few things left getting armor, the "crystal" and talking to Ash I just hoped the elevator wasn't as bad as it was in game.
It was just as slow taking at least a few minuets when it should have taken maybe half that time or one at most, the doors finally opened and I saw for my first time the Garage. The Mako was to my right while Ash to my left so I decided to head over there.
"Hey Chief" I started
"Oh hey" She replied as she kept her attention on the guns in front of her
"How are you fairing?" I asked
She turned towards me " I could ask you the same thing, you lost what was left of your family right?" I nodded
"I fixed up your avenger un-jammed it," she explained as she handed it to me
I decided to disassemble and reassemble the Assault rifle as more of the sense of familiarity came back which to me leads credence to my sudden sense of military familiarity.
After twenty minuets passed I made the decision to speak up "I'm sorry Chief, I know your brooding about your squad but I- I think I failed on my part as well"
Ashley didn't turn "Don't blame your self kid I was their leader" and more with the kid…
Before I could reply a voice cut in "Are both of you done with your mini-self brooding session" turning around I saw Shepard Stand ten feet away arms crossed "Militiamen Moreno I think we need to talk and start training " she stated with a concerned tone, A naught began to form in the pit of my stomach as I stepped up to her.
"Your not in any trouble but first things first I know you've met my sister already" said Shepard "she can be a flight risk from time to time I should have warned you earlier but both of you seemed to get along, Second we need to get you armor I cant have you running around solely in Navel Fatigues, third lets start training."
Turning she said "follow" and I did we went up to a set of crates right next to the Mako opening it she handed me a armful of armor as she explained "in the data base it said that you were rated for light armor and Light Titan Mk five is all we have, we're heading to the Citadel and Anderson wants us to go in full armor we'll suit up an hour out so you've got about seven hours"
"Where's my locker?" I asked
"Far left" The Commander replied as she headed to the elevator
Walking over to my locker I set my armor down and opened my locker to reveal two objects an empty data pad and a fist-sized box with what I hoped to be what had sent me here…
…It was the crystal glowed a soft blue but I decided to close it, On one hand the thing that sent me here was in fact still here on the other I didn't know what to do with it.
"C'mon, kid lets start" Shepard motioned me to her, biotic training here we go…
A/N: here we go on the crew and heading to the Citidel. And I'm looking for advice on writing.
