Isabel was unpacking her stuff in the port side observation. she put the picture off her brother on the nightstand next to her bad. She looked around the room as she unpacked her underwear and other clothes. She smiled lightly then Begins to frown, because Remus was unable to join her on the Normandy. Kaidan knocks on her door.

"Come in."

"So, how are you fitting in on the ship?"

"Oh it's you! I mean Major."

She stands up and salutes Kaidan.

"There's no need to salute me and I should be saluting you since you out rank me."

She blushes lightly and smiles and quickly hides her underwear from Kaidan.

" Right, but you are a spectre and that means you out rank me, right?"

He laughs and smiles and asked her how her brother is doing.

"So, how is Remus doing? I'm sorry he couldn't join us."

" It's okay, I'm sure he'll be finer, but we've never been a part for too long."

" Can I ask you a question major, it's kinda personal if you don't mind?"

He laughs.

" Sure thing. Whats the question and call me Kaidan."

She gets nervous and turns red and starts playing with her hands.

" Are you and the commander Together, you know are you to dating?"

He raise an eyebrow at her.

" Why are you asking? Do you have a crush on the commander or me?"

"ummmm, noooooooooo."

She begins to blushes badly.

Isabel takes a step back and slips on some off her panties she drop by mistake on the floor and hits her head on the nightstand and knocks herself out before Kaidan could catch her.

" Isabel are you okay?"

He picks her up and lays her in the bed and covers her up and goes to get the doc. Kaidan went to get Doctor Chakwas from the med-bay. He knocked on the door. The door opened and he walked in her office.

" Doctor Chakwas, ummm I need your help, Isabel slipped and fall and hit her head on the nightstand in her room."

Doctor Chakwas looked at him strangely.

" How did she slip in her room? What did she slip on?"

" Ummm her panties."

" Major, what were you two doing, for her to slip on her panties?"

" Huh? Wait,we were just talking while she unpacked and I guess didn't want me to see them and I guess she dropped a pair and slipped on them."

" If you say so major, Leyte go check on her."

Kaidan and Chakwas headed down to Isabel's room. So Chakwas could check on her. She scanned Isabel with her omni-tool.

"hmmm, She seems to be fine it's just a small bump on the head. She just needs to sleep."

" That's great, thank you doc."

Isabel wakes up a few hours, holding her head as she sat up. She looked around the room wondering how she got into her bad. She got out of bed and walked over other bathroom and turned on the shower and waited till it got hot. She got underdressed and stepped into the shower letting the hot water run down her back.

She thinks to herself.

"am I really here with Shepard, Kaidan, Liara and the rest of the crew of the Normandy?"

" How did I get so lucky?"

she giggles to herself. She turns off the water and Grabs her robe and puts it on, then steps out of the bathroom. There's a knock at her door.

" Just a minute, I'm getting dressed, I'm just getting out of the shower."

She quickly puts on her bra and panties then puts on some jeans and a T-shirt and opens the door.

" Who is it?"

"It's Liara, can I come in so we can talk?"

"Umm, sure thing."

"Thank you. "

Liara walked into Isabel's room with a smile on her face. Isabel started blushing. The both sat down at the table in her room and started talking .

"So you and Remus, don't even remember Your parents or who they were?"

" No, we have no clue who they were or what they did?"

"Yes, that's why, I'm so protective of him. I don't want to lose him.

" I'm sorry, he had to stay on the citadel."

"it's ok I'm sure he's ok, right?"

"of course he is."

Liara smile at her and gets up and hugs Isabel and then heads for the door and goes back to her office. Isabel sighs then heads down to the mess hall for Coffee and something to eat. She pours herself some coffee and grabs a Protein bar and heads back to her room not talking to anyone.

She Finishes her coffee and protein bar and Begins to work out doing sit-ups and push-ups. As she waits to go on a mission.

[comm]

" Everyone to the briefing room ASAP."

Isabel got there first and sat down. Everyone else arrived there shortly after Shepard walked in and started talking.

"Okay team we have a mission, we are going to be Bringingdown a Cerberus base on a planet a called Konus in the Attican Traverse."

Kaidan Replies

" So who's going on the mission commander?"

" It's going to be you, Isabel, Liara and myself, we leave in five so be ready."

Liara and Kaidan looks at Isabel.

" So are you ready?"

" Ummm I'm not sure."

They land on Konus just outside the base and steps off the Shuttle. Everyone stayed low so the troopers wouldn't see them. Shepard looks at them.

" Everyone stay low, no need to be a hero am I clear?"

"Isabel and shepard headed around back running int o a group of troopers. Isabel activated her annihilation field and a ark aura surrounded her. She hit one of the troopers with dark channel. Shepard cloaked and shot and killed two centurions with her back widow.

"Nice! Shepard."

"thanks now Focus."

" Right, sorry."

Isabel hits a trooper with throw knocking him against the wall and killing him. They run up entering the base as they met up with Kaidan and Liara. Liara was downloading the files and looking at them at the same time. She findes ship, weapons, tech, and bomb blue paints. Liara came a cross one file that almost left her Speechless.

"Shepard, Isabel I think you both are gonna wanna see this."

Shepard and Isabel walk over to her and started looking at the data. Isabel's face got white as a ghost. Shepard was in a bit of a shock.

"No no no. This can't be true, our parents worked for Cerberus. I don't believe it. "

Isabel Began cry.

" Isabel, I'm sure there's a good reason for this.

Shepard patted her on the back softly.

" Wait theres more here on her parents. "

Kaidan pointed at another file that hadn't been open. They open the file and began reading it. The file was on test they ran on Isabel and Remus, when they were just kids. Genetic modifications was done to Isabel Ito increase her biotic power and overcharged amps were put in and they also erased her memory.

" God damn it, My mom and dad used me and Remus as a fucking Cerberus lab rat. "

" I guess, we were just lab rats to them and they never loved us."

Shepard, Kaidan, and Liara tried to hold back their tears.

"Your not a Cerberus lab rat, your Isabel Aubrey Cross a good hearted personnel that loves and cares for everyone and your the best damn N7-fury in the whole Alliance. We all care for you.

Kaidan wiped the tears from his face.

"Shepard, Is right your not a lab rat your a great person.

Liara looked up at them.

"I do everything possible to help you have my word."

Liara started looking at the files again and came across Remus's files as well. She reads through the file pretty much the same thing in Isabel's file. But they were planning on recruiting him, not letting him know he was joining Cerberus till it was too late.

"By the goddess, This is not good."

Shepard and Isabel quickly turned to Liara.

"What is it? Liara what's wrong?"

"Is it about my brother, Remus?"

" Umm yea, Cerberus plans on recruiting him."

[comm]

"We have to warn him about this."

"Remus, come in, Remus come in."
