Jane

Watching her brother being taken away by armed guards was more than a little worrying. Shen knew that he didn't get on with people until they get close to him but she had hoped that the day wouldn't end with her brother being punished. Not only had he put everyone on guard but now everyone knew that he was actually dangerous. He had advanced fighting skills which on their own wouldn't matter, but when combined with the anger issues he's had since Mindoir he had got into trouble a lot. As much as Jane didn't want to admit it she knew that Milo was more at home on Omega than he is on the Citadel.

Jane went to here next lesson, Biotics class with Mrs. Samara. She got to the class without saying a word, she couldn't focus much due to her worry with her brother. She barely noticed as Samara asked her name. It wasn't until the Asari placed a hand on Jane's shoulder that she reacted.

"Hello child, am I to believe that you are my new student yes?" said Samara with a gentle smile across her face

"Yeah, uh sorry, yeah that's me I was… sorry"

"It's okay child, I heard what happened to your brother. Don't worry I'm sure he'll be fine. Why don't you take a seat next to Liara? I saw you talking to her in the canteen I assume you and her get along?"

"Yeah and uh… thanks" Replied Jane as she took a seat next to Liara. Who wore a similar comfort smile to Samara.

"High Jane, how are you? What with what's gone on with your brother"

"Yeah I'm fine, just a little worried is all, thanks Liara"

"Well listen, if you need to get your mind off things you can always hang out with us after college, we all have extra curriculum activities, You'll be able to do the biotics class with me if you want"

"Oh thanks Liara, ill think about it although Milo drives me to college and I wouldn't like to make him weight for no reason"

"Your brother drives, how does he afford that?"

"Well I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone about what he does unless he wanted to so you'll have to ask him. But he gets enough to rent our apartment and drive to school"

Jane's lesson was pretty standard. The teacher got them to all show their biotic ability by moving a book of her desk and placing it in front of them, all of them did this and then because they had impressed there teacher she let them go a little early. She also told Jane that she was welcome to come to the after school biotics class if she wanted to improve more. Jane simply said shed think about it before leaving the room.

"Do you want to come to the canteen with me?" asked Liara as the girls left the class.

"Yeah ill catch up, just want to see if my brothers still in the principal's office"

"Okay, well I'll see you when you get to the canteen" Replied Liara as she walked off

Milo

Milo had been pleasantly surprised when he got to the principal's office. He had expected to get the standard lecture about not hurting other students or wasting teacher's time by running off. When he was inside the office the first thing he noticed was the almost happy look on the older guys face.

"So you must be our new celebrity child then?" asked Anderson with a gentle smile

Milo didn't know why but he found himself smiling back at the elderly man as he took a seat on the opposite side of his desk. "Yeh, that's me the new resident drop out"

"Drop out? My dear boy why do you think you'll be a drop out?"

"Well, the fact that I got into a fight in my first periods which ended with guards bringing me here"

"Well yes, but I've spoke to Mordin, he said that you paid attention until Jack came in. Hell he said you were even polite after you knocked that poor girl out"

Milo was more than a little taken back by this unforeseen turn of events, he couldn't help but king of like this teacher. A similar feeling he got when he spoke with the doctor earlier. "I don't even know who that girl was"

"That girl is called Jack, honestly I don't know much about her myself" replied Anderson "I know almost as much about you as I do her actually, by which I means nothing at all."

"Yeah, about that, it's not that I have bad things happening my life or am a bad person. It's just, I find myself doing things that aren't particularly wholesome to get by. As a result of this I may be rather secretive about myself and my sister"

"Yeah about your sister, she seems like a good kid"

"No offense sir, can you not just tell me my punishment so I can go and find that girl again, what was here name. Jack?"

"Careful boy, I'd like to keep this civil."

"Well I don't sir…"

Anderson couldn't figure this kid out. On one hand the child seems very intelligent if a little short tempered. Anderson wanted to learn about this child's past. He wasn't going to simply give up on the child. His second in command had heard what happened and had already tried to get this boy expelled. Anderson wasn't ready to give up on this child just yet; however he could tell that he wasn't going to get much information out of him and he had already spent second period talking to the child unsuccessfully.

"Okay son, your punishment is afterschool detention for the next three weeks. I hope this will teach you the dangers of fighting within the school"

"All-right, can I go now then" Spat Milo with disgust running deep in his voice

"Yeah you can go" Replied Anderson as Milo stormed from the room, Anderson turned to his omni tool, and opened a conversation with Udina. "Udina, get me the other new student. Jane Shepard, I need to speak to her urgently"

When Milo left the principal's office he knew he had to find two people, he needed to tell his sister he couldn't drive her to college for a while, and give her some money for the bus. He also had to find this tattooed girl, what was her name again? Jack? Yeah that was it. He needed to find this Jack person. He still hadn't actually been able to properly apologise for hurting the girl. Milo made his way down the hallways back to the med bay, he imagined that the doctor women would be checking on the girls condition now that she was back to being conscious.

Milo ran into his sister before he got to the med bay. "Hey sis, listen okay"

"Oh Milo, I've been called to the principal's office, I've got to go. Talk later?"

"You're going to Anderson's office?"

"Yeah, hall monitor told me he wanted to see me why?"

"No reason, just. I got detention after school for the next three weeks, I can't drive you home for a while."

"Really, oh great!"

"What?"

"Nothing it's just, I wanted to do this after school biotics class for a while anyway, how about you do your detentions and I'll do this after school support class"

The warm smile Milo often used for his sister returned, "Yeah, sure sis. I'll talk to you later?"

"Yeah sure Mi" Replied Jane as the siblings went separate ways down the schools corridors.

Milo got to the med bay about ten minutes later only to find that there was still two guards standing outside of the main door. He ran into an empty room to his left in order to avoid being spotted by the two guards, both of which had a rather angry facial expression. The room he walked into had the lights off and smelt like a mix of many different chemicals, from this and the posters of the periodic table and Krogan blood streams gave Milo the strong impression that he was in a chemistry class. He hoped nobody walked in her before lunch was finished.

Milo sat in the dark room looking out of the window at the med bay door for nearly 15 minutes until he moved from his spot. The guards had walked away for a while, probably to get coffee Milo thought. Which had given him the chance to actually speak to the girl who so far had caused him nothing but problems. However when he moved from his spot the med bay door opened to reveal the tattooed girl sneaking out, She looked to the left and right, making sure the corridor was clear before she almost completely silently walked from the med bay, and out of a side door through a maths classroom. Milo found his legs moving without his order towards the girl as she ran out of the back of the school.

Jack made her way through a small wooded area, across a street which lead to a wide open field, by the looks of the field it could have been used for football at one point but has long since been overgrown. Jack then went into an abandoned building complex on the far side of the field, never looking back the entire way. Milo wasn't even hiding from her anymore he was walking behind her casually but quiet and so far she hadn't spotted him.

It was while following the girl that Milo began to notice what she was wearing. She had a short leather biker jacket complete with studs laced along the arms over the top of a white tank top that left her abdomen on show. She was wearing faded blue jeans with tears down by the feet and an old tattered pair of lather work boots. Milo couldn't decide if the girl wore this clothing items for the punk look it gave her or if she didn't have any other clothes to wear. She didn't have the look of somebody who particularly cared about fashion, so he thought there must have been a deeper reason for the clothing choice.

Milo followed the young women into the abandoned building. Inside it looked like a bomb had gone off in the building. The lights were hanging loosely from the ceiling. The floors and walls were covered in dirt and grime and the vast majority of the furniture in the building were broken in at least two places. As if to prove the pitiful state of the abandoned office building a scorpion scuttled across the floor in front of Milo.

Milo couldn't figure out why this young women was spending the day here. Milo was supposed to be in third periods at this point. P.E with Mr. Wrex. However he found himself fascinated with the journey that this girl was going through. He decided that he would continue to follow the girl until she came to a stop. The two went up multiple flights of rotten stairs that were so weakened from abandonment that Milo was worried he would fall through them, the then went across a hallway which actually did have a hole in the floor before coming to an empty room.

The room that Jack had walked into had one window in the far wall, and a bare mattress in the corner near the doorway. The door had fallen into the room and now seemed to act like a rug when entering the room. The tattooed girl walked into the room with a sigh, she walked over to the window and shut it. Not that It would make the room any warmer given how cold the entire building was. She then proceeded to take her leather jacket off before folding it and placing it upon the mattress to act like a pillow. She then rested her bald head on the jacket and stared to the rotten wall on her right.

Milo figured he'd been silent enough at this point. He wanted to say something cleaver to this girl, he wanted to be charming and comforting. Which scarred him, he usually only wanted to comfort his sister. He hadn't cared for anyone other than her since they had to run off Mindoir and yet he found himself wanting to help this girl he was fighting no less than four hours ago. Milo couldn't think of anything to say. In the end all he said was "Are you living here?" to which the girl jumped of the bed and came to attack Milo in one quick movement. Once again Milo ducked under her arm but this time he didn't attack, he backed away in the hopes that the girl might realise who he is and stop trying to attack him.

"Just calm down" Milo yelled in order to get the girls attention

"CALM DOWN YOU SON OF A BITCH! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?" replied Jack in a voice so loud Milo thought people way back at the school could have heard her.

"I followed you since the med bay"

"Why the fuck did you follow me?" Jack replied lowering her fist and seemingly taking Milo's advice to calm down.

"I don't even know"

"What?"

"I don't know why I followed you, I wanted to apologise for earlier so I came by the med bay, but couldn't get in what with the guards. The eventually left but you snuck out. I've followed you since"

"What the hell do you want?"

"Well I wanted to apologise, so I'm truly sorry for this morning"

"Fine now will you go already?"

"Hold on a second"

"Why should I? I don't know you, you don't know me so why should I start talking to you?"

"Tell you what, If you talk to me until third period is done then I'll go on my marry way and leave you alone, deal?"

"I'm not talking to you throughout the entire third period, that's like another hour and a half."

"Alright, talk to me for 30 minutes"

"10"

"20"

"15"

"Fine" Replied Milo, as he sat on the mattress the girl appeared to be using as a bed. Milo wasn't surprised to find that he could feel the floor underneath the mattress when he sat down. Jack slowly sat down on the mattress while putting her leather jacket back on. "So… how 'bout you tell me your name first?"
