(Afterlife club)
Micheal, Miranda, Garrus, and Liara arrived at the Afterlife club escorted by Aria's crew of guards . After the Mess of a war Most of Garrus's crew were dead or in holding via Aria's forces. They had been called to the club by Aria herself to deal with things.
The Elcor bodyguard stood at the door. "Threatening statement: Aria is inside waiting for you. Should you cause any problems your lives are forfeit," said the Elcor.
Miranda frowned at him. "Don't make me turn you inside out," said Miranda as they walked passed the Elcor who was practicably shaking.
Once inside the club Micheal and Garrus whistled. The club must have been the sight of a battle. Battle scars and burns littered the whole club, the round vid screen had several holes in and though it, and the bar had all it's bottles shattered. Micheal shuck his head at the waste of perfectly good Serrice Ice Brandy. His 'Aunt' Karin Chakwas got him hooked on the stuff during his Commanding Tour aboard the Normandy.
They stopped at the center of the club where Aria stood above Vilari who had a Biotic suppressor on her head. Aria glared down at the woman and Micheal could tell that Aria was ready to finish her off, but waited.
"About damn time your four got here. Archangel I've already transferred the credits to your people. You took out her organization after all," said Aria crossing her arms.
Garrus nodded, not wishing to upset the Queen of Omega.
"Why are we here then?" asked Miranda.
Aria looked at Miranda. "I hate wasting good. I knew that Vilari was going to stage a coup, but I wasn't sure when. I planted several bug on and around her to see when. I figured it out before to long. I had planned to kill all of you," said Aria pausing.
"So why spare us?" asked Micheal.
"A former N7 marine sniper is good to have for assassinations and Miranda can take over as head of my information network that Vilari use to run," said Aria.
"Go to hell you fucking bitch!" growled Vilari.
Aria looked at her. "Now is that anyway to talk to your mother?" asked an Amused Aria.
Vilari growled. "Fuck you when Saran gets here he's going to waste you!" yelled Vilari.
Micheal's eyes widened the second she said this. Micheal grabbed his sword and rushed forward and held the blade to her throat. Vilari felt the blade bite into her throat making some of her purple blood drip down her throat. Aria's guards aimed their weapons at Micheal. Miranda, Garrus, and Liara drew their own weapons and aimed them. Aria raised her hand letting her people know to back off. She didn't feel like replacing more men because they did something stupid.
"Micheal what the hell are you doing!?" aked Miranda
Micheal's eyes took a deadly turn as they became a shade of dark that even made Aria shiver in fear. "Where is Seran!?" asked Micheal his voice colder then ice.
Vilari looked at Micheal with a small crazed look. "What does my pet want with Lord Saran?" asked Vilari. Micheal took his sword away from her throat and kicked her as hard as he could in her head sending her flying.
"I won't ask again bitch!" said Micheal walking towards the downed Asari.
Vilari laughed. "Lord Searn is going to rip you and this fucking station apart when he finds out what you did to me you bastard!"
Micheal got eye level with Vilari. "Two years ago I swore on the grave of my wife that I would kill Saran. If that means I have to hunt him from here to the afterlife then so be it!" said Micheal in such a cold, calm, and deadly voice that even made Aria feel a shiver of fear creep up her spine.
Vilari looked at Micheal and shuck her head. "He's to powerful, there's nothing can do to stop him," said Vilari.
"Your wrong. There's nothing I won't do to stop him," said Micheal raising his sword to kill Vilari.
"STOP!" yelled Miranda.
Micheal stopped and looked at Miranda. Vilari looked up as well, but with glee. Miranda walked towards them a slow stride full of purpose.
"My pet! Always trying to save her master," said Vilari. "Come and embrace Eternity with me again Miranda
Micheal looked at Miranda as she took his sword from his hand and stabbed Vilari in the chest. Vilari coughed up blood grabbing the blade as Miranda twisted.
"Embrace eternity alone you fucking bitch!" hissed out Miranda.
Vilari slipped to the ground dread. Aria sighed. No matter how bad it was Vilari was still one of her children.
"What a mess. You four are free to go for now. Shepard, Miranda I'll be in contact soon," said Aria dismissing the four of them.
The four walked away from the club, but stopped just outside the doors. Garrus turned to Micheal and held out his hand. Micheal looked at his hand and shuck it. Both knew that it was nothing but business so it wasn't going to strain any potaital friendship they may have.
"Me and what's left of my crew may be heading out soon. I would like it if you joined up with my crew. You and yours," said Garrus.
Micheal looked at Garrus. "I'll think about it. It's some stuff we need to sort out," said Micheal.
Liara nodded. "We'll be licking our wounds and regrouping for the next few days," said Liara.
Miranda glared at Liara "Then we'll see you around," said Miranda.
Garrus and Liara walked off in one direction and once they were out of sight Micheal punched a wall as hard as he could startling Miranda.
"What the fuck Shepard!" yelled Miranda as she looked at Micheal's eyes.
"I was in one of his fucking agents employee for months!" yelled Micheal pulling his hand from the wall.
"I don't understand? Are you talking about this Saran person?" asked Miranda.
Micheal rounded on her. "Saran has been on the Alliance hit list for the last 20 years, He's been on the shit list of the man who's been like a father to me for 20 years, but he's been on my death list for two years," said Micheal.
"Why is that?" asked Miranda.
Micheal turned to Miranda. "Why!? Two years ago during the attack on Eden Prime, him and an army of Geth attacked," said Micheal sitting against the wall. "My wife died. She was a solider though and though. She died a hero's death protecting a young child," said Micheal.
Miranda looked at him. "That's not all to the story is it?" asked Miranda.
Micheal shuck his head. "Far from it. Ash was 4 months pregnant and was only running desk duty at the Delta Base," said Micheal putting his hand to his face as he remembered the day Ashley told him he was going to be a father.
(Eden Prime- 2 ½ years ago)
Micheal Shepard sat at his desk looking over Mission reports as his wife was in the kitchen doing some cooking. Micheal had always enjoyed Ash's cooking. Even though she herself said she wasn't a great cook. Her food was still much better then the fucking pre-made meal packets they normally got.
Micheal pulled off his glasses and set them on his desk rubbing his eyes. Micheal didn't need them to read, but when you spent nearly 4 hours of you shift reading reports on patrols, mission reports, and supply demands. What he wouldn't give to be back out in the frontier doing his sniper thing or even drilling rookies.
Micheal stood up and walked into the Kitchen to see Ashley standing over a boiling pot that was filled with Craw-fish. She was dressed in white long skirt, a blue blouse, and a pair of flats. Her hair was out of it's usual bun and flowed to the middle of her back.
Micheal walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around his lover. "Smells good Ash," said Micheal kissing the top of her head.
Ashley grabbed his arms. "Hugging me isn't going to make it cook faster Skipper," said Ashley smiling.
Micheal laughed. "I know just wondering when your going to put on the noodles too," said Micheal with a sly smile.
Ashley pulled back from her husband and gave him a pout. "Damnit. I was hoping to surprise you," said Ashley teasingly.
"Come on Ash we've been married for 3 years. As if I would allow you to get the drop on me again," said Micheal.
Ashley smirked at him and throw out a fast punch that Micheal easily caught before spinning Ashley around and pulling her close to his chest and into a soul searing kiss that left Ashley weak in the knees. Micheal pulled back and smiled at her.
"You kept that up Micheal and I'll have to tie you down to the bed and never let you leave again," said Ashley.
"Would that be so bad?" asked Micheal.
Ashley smiled. "It would be during the next 9 months," said Ashley.
Micheal stopped his Playfulness as his eye went wide. "How far along are you?" asked Micheal.
Ashley smiled at the man she had given her heart to so long ago. "8 weeks skipper. Congrats Micheal. Your going to be a daddy," said Ashley.
Micheal got one of the biggest grins on his face before picking her up making his wife shriek in joy as he spun her around the room, all the while shouting. "I'm going to be a daddy, I'm going to be a daddy!"
Flashback end
Miranda looked at Micheal with wide eyes. She had heard about the attack on Eden Prime. A Force of 15 Geth Cruisers had attacked the Colony. The Alliance's orbital cannon's had done little damage to the Geths shields, before they touched down. Three companies wiped out and more then half the Colony before The 63rd Scout flotilla arrived with 10 destroyer class ships to clean house. Apparently Micheal Shepard had been the leader of the ground war. It took three weeks to wipe out all Geth forces. Apparently during a break in combat near his home he went there worried about his wife.
What Micheal found was never confirmed by official reports, but several of the soldiers who were there said that Micheal had nearly broken and that his shriek of grief and pain was well heard. After the battle his Mother, Captain Anderson, and Admiral Hackett ordered him to take leave for his own peace of mind.
After leave Micheal had petitioned the Council to go after the geth, but they refused saying that it was not their problem that a 'human colony' was hit. If Anderson hadn't instead on them leaving their guns behind there would have been three dead councilors that day.(1)
It was sometime after that that Saren had vanished off the grid. The Council assumed he had died until he reappeared at the Citadel with a small fleet and attacked. After the battle which had left the Citadel fleets at only 2/3 rds of their normal strength the Council declared Saran as The Citadels most wanted Criminal.
Every specter they sent was returned in a casket.
Miranda put her hand on Micheal's shoulder. "Micheal I'm sorry," said Miranda.
Micheal stood up. "I don't want your pity Miranda. I don't want anything. I just want Saran's head," said Micheal.
Micheal turned to leave, but Miranda put a hand on his chest. "Words of wisdom aren't something I'm good at, but I can offer you comfort," said Miranda.
Micheal looked at her. "I don't want comfort Miranda," said Micheal.
Miranda pulled Micheal to her room. "You don't want it, but you need it. Being so strong after such a tragedy is just remarkable, you need this," said Miranda.
Miranda grabbed Micheal by his face and planted a light kiss on Micheal's lips. Micheal wrapped his arms round her and pulled her to him. Micheal groaned as he felt her large breasts against his chest. They fell back against the couch where Micheal deepened the kiss, by running his tongue along her bottom lip. Miranda opened her mouth allowing him accuses to her mouth. Micheal took a breath though his nose, before breaking the kiss with Miranda. Both were panting heavily. Miranda felt hot wearing her overall's and black shirt.
"We should take this to my room, before Ori arrives," said Miranda.
"Lead the way Miranda," said Micheal as Miranda lead him to her room.
Miranda's room was pretty spartan besides her bed with royal red sheets and a single desk. Miranda pushed Micheal onto the bed. Before se crawled up his body on her hands and knees.
"hold me like you would a lover, at least for the night," said Miranda
(Sometime in the middle of the night
Micheal held Miranda under the covers as she snuggled up to him and he felt comfort that he hadn't felt since he lost his wife. Miranda herself felt much better then she had in months... years even. The pleasure and passion was greater. He was quite a passionate lover. Just the kind Miranda liked. Now Miranda knew why her sister wanted him so bad.
Miranda looked up at his still form realizing that he had fallen into a deep and dreamless sleep.
"He's out like a light," said Miranda. Miranda reached up and gave Micheal a light kiss on the check, before laying back down and drifting off to sleep herself
