AN: Ok this is my first AN and it might be a bit long so I don't mind if you skip ahead to the story.

So I wake up this morning and check this story to find that it has 2 reviews, 2 favs, 7 followers and 1 Communities (what ever the hell that is). And with almost 200 views I was Holy fucking cheese balls. I couldn't believe that so many people read and even liked it enough to follow or fav. So I have to say a big thank you to everyone, this is what I need to help push me to continue writing this.

Next thing I'm not very good with grammar or spelling so be a bit sympathetic I plan to put out a chapter once a week or every 2 weeks depending on whats going on in my life. But for now seeing as im still on a holiday your going to be getting a few chapters a week (hopefully).

Iv already got chapter 6 and started on chapter 7 started so you will be seeing up to chapter 6 in a few days.

One last thing going to answer the replies that I have go far. Sapphios I started at the beginning because it felt right to, and it foreshadows (love that word) the rest of the story. Also I like to have a target so I can work the story backwards and add all my own ideas and know whats going to happen.

ShepardisaBOSS (I agree he/she is a boss) Asked if Andrew is a good or a bad guy. I say there is no good or bad just your own view and opinion so keep reading and find out if he is a good or bad guy... No he is not the bad guy. For now XD

Chapter 4- Life's just not that easy

The Batarian then turned to me pulling his pistol from his right leg. This had gone from bad to fucking shit storm and I've only been here for no more than 10 minutes.

I had very little time to think. In a few moments I was about to be swarmed by god knows how many men all planning to kill me. I had to get out of here and fast. The room I came from had already shut so couldn't go in there for cover. Behind me was clear, for the moment but ahead of me was no good. If I tried to make a run down the corridor away from the Batarian he was sure to put a bullet in my back and with a lack of amour, yes I was still in the cloths that I was wearing before being sent here. I would be dead in a single shoot. I couldn't use my biotics, didn't know how to, and even if I could use a biotic throw (I believe that's what it was), I doubted it would get to him in time.

Then I saw my salvation. The gun the first Batarian dropped lay right next to me. 'Yes that would do nicely' I thought. My body again moved on its own as if I knew exactly what to do. I grabbed the pistol. Then doing a sideward roll to dodge possible incoming fire. Keeping my eyes locked on the Batarian. He open fire on me but I moved to fast, I ended up crouching next to the body of the first Batarian.

I randomly shot at the Batarian hoping that I would hit him, all shots missed him completely. My crappy aim gave him time to get into cover around the corner. Now I had no cover and have lost the element of surprise. 'Could my luck get any worse? Shit Andrew, nice going jinx yourself.' Ok get it together Andrew. Aim and shoot, all guns that fire something with mass have recoil so watch out for that. Now I had calmed myself down a bit. I aimed for where the Batarian would be if he tried taking a shot.

I had a moment of warning if he came back around at least. The Batarian flung himself around the corner but this time I was ready for him. I fired at the Batarian three times he was unlucky not to have a shield as all my bullets hit where mark. Falling backwards as three bullets bored there way though his forehead.

"Holy crap. How did I do that?" I was in shock. I had just killed another man, this time personally putting three bullets into his skull with a gun I had never used before. In a matter of fact I had never fired a real gun in my life. I could understand instinctively using Biotics if I had them, but to be able to use guns like this and move the way I do. I would need training, military training. I still had the gun in hand, I wanted to drop it and forget it but I knew in my gut that I would need it again and soon.

I wanted to ask Tal'kia about all of this, where all these abilities I had and if I had anymore I had to know about. "Don't worry I will explain later, but there's a human saying 'There is a time and place.' " Tal'kia said clearly still reading my mind. I couldn't care less if she was still reading my mind. I agreed with her. That conversation could wait for a better time. 'Maybe when I'm not ducking and dodging bullets.' I thought.

"Let's get out of here" I said to Tal'kia. I ran for the other end of the corridor, closely followed by her who was able to keep up with me. Again I had to wonder 'when could I ever run this fast. I mean, I'm no slouch when it came to sports but man was I moving fast. Then again I was never running for my life.'

I passed many closed doors on the way down the corridor but my instincts told me that they were similar to the room I appeared in or would not lead to a way out. The corridor was wide which suggested to me that at either end was something important. I just hoped this way was a way out and not further into this place.

Before I reached the end of the corridor where it turned to my left, more men appeared from the other end. They opened fire on me peppering the wall ahead of me with bullets. I looked over my shoulder just before reaching the corner getting a quick look at my pursuers. I was able to fire a few shoots off before finally disappearing around the corner. There were two more Batarians, three Humans and a Turian all wearing blue and white armour. I swear I knew the armour but I could not place it, but I had more pressing matters to worry about as I reached a large door.

I had to slow down rapidly, almost sending me head over heels and straight into the door. Luck was on my side yet again today as I was able to stop before hitting the door. 'I'm going to have to rely on luck to get out of here. Here's hoping I don't use all of it by the time I get out of this place. I'm goanna need a lot to help deal with the Reapers.'

"Please, Please be a way out" I say as I move my hand over the holo panel to open the door. The door opens to show a huge room, massive in size. It was a warehouse of some kind. The room was at least six meters high. It extending out to my right and left for twenty meters or so. With large and small containers filling the room, some were stacked almost to the ceiling. Which blocked my view of the other side, but with my best guess the room continued far ahead of me. The right side of the warehouse had large shutters as far as I could tell they ran the length of the warehouse. I suspected they led to a docking area for freighter and transport ships.

There was a moment when I thought about going out there. But god knows what kind of gunships they had out there. If I was lucky they had a few Mantis Gunships out there. And although I had all these new abilities I was not about to try my luck grabbing a shuttle or ship to find I couldn't fly it. Plus where would I go I don't know where I am. All I could work out was that I had somehow found myself in the centre of... Then I hit me like a tonne of bricks 'I know where I've seen that armour from. Their Blue Suns mercs.' Ok that Narrows down where I am. I'm most likely in the Terminus Systems. And judging by the size of this warehouse I say it's one of their major bases.

I had to move quickly as my pursuers where gaining ground. I Ran down the stairs ahead of me onto the warehouse floor. The path ahead was mostly clear of crates. I had an odd feeling travel down my spine. My body froze up, I could hear hushed voices and movement ahead there was an ambush waiting for me. It however was the only way forwards and they knew that.

"There's no going back now." I said as I sprinted towards the ambush Tal'kia still ran along beside me. She had been uncharacteristically quiet for a while now. A plan formulated in my head. Stopping at one of the larger crates similar in size to an average metal shipping container usually found on cargo ships "Let's just hope this works."

"You're not thinking of doing what I think you're doing?" Asked Tal'kia

I turn my head towards her "You're in my head. You should know what I'm about to do" I smiled at her. I focused on the crate in front of me. By yellow and gold biotics flared around my whole body. My blue irises turned to ones that resembled liquid gold, glowing and shifting alongside my biotics.

The crate was quickly engulfed in yellow and gold biotics. 'Wow this is heavy. I seriously can't believe I'm going to do this'. At that thought the crate lifted itself a off the floor by a few centimetres. The mercs in ambush saw that I was lifting the crate with biotics. They were unsure of what was happening but they knew that it wouldn't be good. They open fire on the crate, hundreds of bullets smashed against it. The crate rocked slightly as a rocket hit it. "Just a little higher. And NOWWW!"

I slammed my hands against the crate putting as much biotic power behind it as I possibly could. It worked. The create was thrown across the room with tremendous force. The mercs in its path could do little as the crate hurtled towards them. It flipped and span as it carved its way through them. Many where crushed and killed under it. The lucky ones where able to jump to the side out of the way.

As soon as I sent the crate flying I was overcome by exhaustion. "You don't have time to rest." Said Tal'kia standing beside me. She was right at any moment the mercs behind me would catch up. The door behind me open up and the six mercs following me plus a dozen or so extra charged out. I had to move forward now with them at my back.

I run through the destruction created by the crate. Luckily the mercs that survived where either to injured or still in shock. The shock would ware of soon. Soon however they were shooting at me again. So taking cover behind an overturned crate I tried to formulate a new plan.

No ideas would come to mind, all I could think of was something that had been bothering me. I looked over at Tal'kia. I was crouching and she was sitting. She looked happy with herself, she looked like she was enjoying herself and I had to ask "Why are they only shooting at me?"

She turned her head to look at me. Smiling the same way she always did when she was messing with me. "That's a silly question. They can't see. Or hear me." My mouth dropped open at this. Seriously they couldn't see her? And what? Was I the only one that could?

"That's precisely it. No one can see or hear me apart from you."

"Well aren't I the lucky one" I said sarcastically. A rocket flew overhead, ceasing the opportunity I moved out of cover to fire my pistol and only retreated back once it overheated. I was able to kill another two mercs before getting back to cover. This however did not stop there advance, soon they would overrun my position. We had to move soon, that was a problem seeing as they had us pinned.

A merc was getting close to the cover we were behind. Even with all the gunfire I could hear his footsteps. My gun was still cooling so I had to do something. I quickly stood up to use a biotic throw, at least that would give me some more time to think. My left arm flared with biotics, However instead of a merc I was surprised to see a LOKI Mech. I knew my throw would not work very well against it but it was too late I had already broken from cover and had to do something. I shoot a mass of energy at the LOKI hoping it would at least stager it of give me more time. However something different happened.

Instead of a large explosive force being exerted on the LOKI the energy formed a black centre pulling Yellow wisps of energy spiralled into its core. I was pleasantly surprised; I had just used singularity instinctively. The LOKI was lifted off the ground. Its body dangled helplessly in the air. By now my pistol had cooled allowing me to put a few clean rounds into the LOKIs head. I was quite satisfied with the results, it head exploded and shortly after its body. Mech parts flew in every direction. I ducked back into cover to get away from the shrapnel.

"So, care to explain why I can only see you?" I asked trying to keep my mind preoccupied. I just wanted to forget all the killing around me. 'Kill or be killed' I kept telling myself which kind of worked, for now. My current cover was coming to the end of its life. So I fired my pistol until it overheated before quickly moving to some better cover. I got a few luck shoots in when I fired no kills but a few injuries. 'That should keep them from advancing for a moment.'

"Shouldn't you be trying to think of a way out of here instead of asking questions?" Tal'kia moved into cover alongside me. She sat down and looked at me. She gave me that look you know the one that tells you she was right, you where wrong and that I had to accept it.

"Ok fine. Help me find a way out of here please." She was right this was not helping me get out here alive.

"I will just have a look then." Tal'kia said as if it was just as easy as that. She got into a crouched position and was about to get up before I stopped her.

"Wait you could get shot. Just because they can't see you doesn't mean they can't still shoot you" To emphasize my point a new volley of bullets hit our cover. I returned a volley of my own, killing a merc who was stupid enough to move out of cover just then. I decided to throw a lift at some mercs. It missed its mark hitting there cover instead. Although not its intended purpose it did remove their cover. Three mercs where exposed to my line of sight, two of them dropped dead in moments, this gave the last one some time to find new cover before he met the same fate as his buddies. The mercs where slowly moving forwards. Their numbers where staggering, I counted at least thirty of them. In a minute or so I would be overrun.

I looked back at Tal'kia to continue are conversation but my eyes did not meet hers in fact they meet her jean covered legs. Shit she was standing up. Looking across the battlefield looking for a way out. 'Shit she's going to get herself killed' I went to grab her shoulder to pull her back into cover. My hand was inches way from her, I one swift movement I brought my hand down and her with it. At least that was the intention but my hand felt no resistance as it met her shoulder; it just kept going effortlessly falling though her shoulder and arm. My hand had just moved through her body as if it was not there.

I thought I had the weirdest day in my entire life and nothing weird would faze me anymore. This however did faze me, just the feeling of nothingness was frightening but watching as bullets wised though her body causing ripples in her form was downright scary. 'What the hell is she?' I found myself questioning her, doubting all that she had said. 'Did I truly know this woman, this thing? Was this truly real or was this some sick joke, was I nothing but a simple to being played with an all-powerful being?'

Tal'kia turned to me no longer interested in the battle happing around them. She look upset, clearly hurt by my thoughts. What happened next was so surprising I had to question my sanity. She had slapped me, and it hurt like hell. Her hand had passed thought my face but somehow the force behind it still hit me.

"How can you think such a thing!? This is no joke." She was furious. Her anger had me more scared of her then the mercs around me. Her anger subsided as fast as it had appeared, her face returned to one of warmth, her voice filled with sympathy. "I know you've been though a lot today and I'm sorry for what we... I have done to you. But you have to understand that this is hard for me as well. I am powerless here. I can't save you. A being of great power, which can do nothing but watch. I'm scared of my powerlessness, and if you die I die as well."

So she was in the same boat that I was in she was lost as well 'misery sure does love company doesn't it?' I had no one else in the place; I had to trust her, needed to trust her. This cover we were behind was almost as bad as the last. Looking ahead of me I saw a good sized container, which had a better vantage point then this one. It was easily level if not higher than any of the mercs cover. Mind made up I fired a throw at a nearby box sending it hurtling off towards the head of a merc. It hit his helmet with a loud thump. His body went limp, clearly knocked out or killed by the force on the box.

I rolled over to the ledge the container that the smaller container was sitting on. I effortlessly climbed up; when I was up I had to drop my head to dodge more incoming fire. I fired off randomly to force the mercs into cover giving me the time I needed to get behind cover. Yes this position showed me a better view of the layout of the battlefield and would give me more time to think of a way out of here.

"Yes misery does love company." She said her smile returning. Before I could complain about her reading my mind again she spoke. "Sorry but it's the only interesting thing to do while I'm stuck in your head." She put her hands over her mouth. I looked at her 'what does she mean, stuck in my head. Does she mean she is literally in my head?'

"opps. I wasn't meant to tell you that yet. I guess the cats out of the bag. Yes I reside quite literally in your mind." I gave her a look. "No I am not a figment of your imagination. I had to reside somewhere and with no power in this world your mind was the only place for me to stay. You know its cosy in here; I think I might stay here for a long, long time." I was about to speak but I stopped, 'I will just add this to the list of stuff I'm going to ask you about later.' I spoke in my mind knowing she could hear me.

"I've got a plan if you want to hear it" she said.

"Go ahead"

"Over to the right are some mercs. With a well placed and large enough singularity you could pull them together. With would give you a chance to get out of here. And with any luck the singularity will pull in that explosive canister." It was a farfetched plan but it was the only one we had.

I popped my head over the cover for a second to get an idea of the where to go and where to send my singularity. Tal'kia was right a well placed singularity could clear a path out of here. I ducked back down as another rocket flew towards. Although that merc with the rocket launcher could be a problem. But if I moved quickly I could get past.

I concentrated on the feeling I had when I accidently created a singularity earlier. My whole body was bathed in biotics, focusing the power into my left hand. My right hand still held onto my pistol. Ok on three. One. Two. THREE.

I dashed out of cover, running along the container, only slowing down to make a jump to an adjacent one. I then jumped down onto the lower containers as I got closer to the path that led deeper into the warehouse. Most of the mercs broke from cover and opened fire on me. Perfect. I fired the singularity from my hand at the ones in my way. The energy sprang forth from my hand towards them. A swarm of yellow energy span around a dark core. Five mercs where pulled from the floor alongside a few boxes another three mercs where left paralysed from the singularities energy as it ate away at their shields.

The explosive canister slowly inched closer to the singularity. A rocket exploded a few meters ahead of me. The gun fire was getting too extreme to push on. So I ducked behind some cover to get ready for my next move. I was waiting the explosive canister to reach the singularity.

There was a big explosion as canister reached the singularity core killing all the merc around it. Using the confusion I exited the cover to continue my mad dash for safety. Another rocket started its journey towards me but this time I was ready. Turning around I fired a throw at it, sending it hurtling back towards its owner. The rocket exploded near its owner, it intern set the other rockets stored nearby off. The resulting explosion was massive, tearing anything around it to spreads. The mercs where now too preoccupied with the crates that where now dropping from above. The explosion must have knocked one of the many large piles of containers off balance. I thanked Lady Luck as I moved deeper into the warehouse.

It took me a minute to navigate the rest of the warehouse I came across no other mercs on my way. If I had to guess I would say that they never expected me to get past that ambush. I could see the other end of the room closing in fast. Rounding a container I finally saw a door. Yes finally a way out of here. As more of the area came into view I stopped dead in my tracks.

Luck my dear old friend must have been left a few steps behind me because what was in front of me was something I would not want to fight by myself. Its right robotic arms open up slower. Shit shit shit SHIT!. I jumped for the closest piece of cover. I reached it just in time before a steam of bullets ripped into where I was moments prior. An unrelenting torrent of bullets smashed against my cover. Cover which would not hold up for long under this kind of onslaught.

"Seriously a YMIR Mech. Couldn't be a few LOKI Mechs or more mercs. It just had to be a YMIR didn't it."

"Life's just not that easy" said Tal'kia as she leaned on the piece of cover looking out at the mech. She had her typical smile on.

"Ha ha ha very funny. Now can you help me think something up because this little gun won't help" I gestured to my pistol.

"How about your biotics?"

"Singularity doesn't really work on shielded enemies and by the time it takes out the shield I'm dead. The mechs to heavy to lift and a throw wouldn't do anymore then stagger such a large opponent." Wow I fucked, well unless I work out how to use anymore biotic powers if I have anymore. I looked over at Tal'kia and she looked back at me. Yer. She's not going to tell me if I had any more biotic powers.

Tal'kia surprisingly answered "I don't know what biotic powers you have. I only gave you the ability to harness mass effect fields I have no knowledge of the physics behind it. For all I know you could have all the known biotic powers and more." She placed her index finger into her mouth, biting into it lightly. "You know that you could always use a combination of biotics?"

"Yer I could but which ones? Singularity wouldn't be helpful at all... Yes that could work and then a lift." I fired a singularity at the YMIRs chest. With each pulse of the gold singularity its shields where being depleted. . I also fired my pistol until it almost needed to vent, I wanted to make sure that its shields where down before the singularity ran out. As the singularity went to work I put my gun into the front of my trousers. Both my hands light up with biotics. One hand holding a throw and the other a lift.

The moment the YMIRs shield went down I exited from cover. Using one hand I fired a lift at its feet. With the combined pull of the singularity and pull of the lift the YMIR rose above the ground slightly. Then I fired my throw at the singularity causing it to explode in a bright flash of yellow and gold. The wave of biotic force hit the YMIR, because it was already in the air it was sent hurtling across the room. It came to a sudden stop as hit it the wall behind it. Taking out my pistol I ran up close to it before firing into its exposed circuitry just to make sure it was down for good.

I moved over to the door and just before I was about to open it the green holo panel changed colour to red. Someone must have been watching my fight with the YMIR because now I was trapped in this room. "This was no simple door it looked like it was designed to be a back up airlock. I'm guessing that if anything happened in the docking area at least the rest of this place would be safe. It's not going to easy to open" Tal'kia stated.

"Now that's just great, how are we supposed to get out of here alive?"
