"Commander, we are arriving at Omega." Jokers voice broke threw her concentration.
Stephanie Shepard stood up and stretched, she was pouring over reports from the outposts they had to go to. Recently the outposts have gone silent after numerous complaints of pirates in the area.
"EDI, tell Garrus and Wrex to meet me at the cockpit door. Also tell Garrus to grab a weapon or two, Omega is not a place to be without a weapon. Shepard got her gear on, only idiots walked around Omega without armor. Garrus was going to be that kind of idiot till she could get his armor. She went through her knowledge of past experiences here, thank god here on Omega she didn't have to put that stupid collar and leash on Garrus.
Getting in the elevator she rode down to CIC, walking to the over to the cockpit. Garrus was waiting, his clothing was blue. It looked good on him, maybe blue armor to match his colony marks. Wrex was leaning against a wall his arms folded over his chest.
"Ok, we are here to get Garrus some armor. Maybe a few other things, Wrex keep an eye out. People are crazy here and Aria doesn't help, Garrus keep your head down and don't talk to people. I want you right behind me at all times till we have your armor, people won't care that your with us they will try something with you. If you happen to put up a fight they will shoot you. I hope you grabbed some guns because we will probably need them. Every time I walk onto Omega someone thinks it will be funny to shoot the spectre." She motioned for them to follow, Garrus falling in step behind her. Wrex behind and to the left, he knew her so well. She was right handed and quicker on her right side, her left side was like a blind spot to her.
Walking off the Normandy she brought up her Omni-tool to look at the map. EDI was such a huge help, too bad Javik still held issues with AI's. You really couldn't blame him, like with what happened to the geth. She sighed and led them to the first shop EDI had pinned on her map. Walking inside the shop to get a glare from a batarian, yep, not shopping here. She looked around so not to appear to rude but walked out after looking at the outrageous prices.
Next store was much better an asari was behind the counter chatting with a turian. When they entered the asari looked over and a smile took over her face.
"Hello and welcome, how may I be of service?" She said that smile never leaving.
Shepard walked up and gave a small smile in return, "I'm looking for turian armor."
The woman looked at Garrus behind Shepard and nodded her head. Showing Shepard to the armors, Shepard waved Garrus over so he could look over everything as well. He was going to be the one wearing the thing.
"Uh… Shepard, have you looked at these prices." He said to her after the asari moved to help another customer. Wrex was stationed by the door and looking very bored.
Shepard looked at the prices, they weren't too bad. Actually considering they were new armors, they were pretty cheap. "What is wrong with the prices Garrus?"
He dropped his voice to whisper, "Stephanie, these pieces are expensive."
Shepard looked at him like he grew another head. "Garrus, I have more money then I know what to do with some times. Even after every new mod for weapons and armor come out I still have plenty to blow. And these happen to be cheap compared to how much my armor cost. I get paid a lot for what I do, and that's after paying everyone on the ship out of my own pocket. You think the alliance pays krogans, asari, quarian, and even turians?"
Garrus looked at her again, "what do you mean turians?"
"I have been paying you and Nihlus for your time on the Normandy." At her words, Garrus hissed.
"Shepard we are slaves, we don't get our own money."
"Well bite me Garrus, you already have 15,500 credits to your name. Which reminds me I need to get you and Nihlus omni-tools so I can give you your credits."
Garrus' mandibles fell open he was trying to find the words to understand why she was doing this. Is she crazy, the things she was doing could land her in prison. Wait, she is a spectre, she's above the law, no one could tell her how to treat her slaves.
"Have you picked the armor you want?" The question pulled him back and he looked down to see the asari. He looked at Shepard only to have her raise her eyebrow at him waiting for his answer.
"The blue and black one," he finally managed to gasp out. The asari then measured him making Garrus feel extremely uncomfortable for measurements to get the correct size. Shepard led him to the counter where she spotted a few things and asked to look at them. Garrus was zoned out to notice what she was looking at. Why did she constantly ask for his opinion or acceptance? She owned him yet treated him like she treats everyone else on her ship. Well not exactly like everyone, she still told him what to do at times to avoid problems. He was pulled out of his thoughts when she slipped something on his head, that's when he realized one of his eyes was showing everything in a blue hue. It was a visor, she looked at him before taking it off and paying for everything. Was that another turian set of armor?
"Shepard what's that armor?"
Shepard laughed, "I told EDI to give me Nihlus' measurements and bought him black armor. Just in case he needs something to cover his ass from gun fire."
She then grabbed his arm and slapped something into place around his wrist and turned around to grab the rest of the items. He looked down and realized it was an omni-tool, well now he had something else to play around with when bored.
"Is there a place where he can get changed?" The asari nodded and led them to a little room.
Once the asari closed the door Shepard looked at him her eye brow raised again. "Don't tell me you're afraid to get naked in front of me?"
Garrus gave out a chuff before removing his shirt and pants then was handed the under suit to put on before putting on his armor. Finally she handed him pieces of armor watching as he clipped things in place with precision, when the last piece was on he noticed Shepard smiling at him.
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing, anyway here last thing to put on." She got close and placed the visor back on his head. This time instead of just a blue hue, he saw readouts from Shepard and her distance, heartbeat and body temp. He needed to fiddle with the visor now as well so it would show him more useful information.
"Looks good on you, I was never into visors even though they do show useful readouts."
Garrus didn't blame her, he wasn't used to the feeling of it. He'd have to remember to put it on and not forget it somewhere.
"Alright, let's go we got what we needed and we can head out." Walking back out in the front Garrus' weapons clicked to the back of his armor. Shepard signaled for Wrex to fall in step behind her, Garrus no longer right behind her but more to the right, like Wrex was more to the left. As they walked back to the ship she noticed eight people in yellow armor behind them. Crap, eclipse of course, she can't even go shopping.
Wrex whispered alerting them what she already noticed, Garrus nodded showing he also already noticed them. Well least they were being alert, she pointed down an ally. They turned quickly and pulled out their guns turning around and pointed at the mercs that followed them. Garrus was further back then Wrex and Shepard, holding his sniper.
Shepard smiled at the mercs, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
The mercs stood their ground as one stepped up, "You do know your turian is armed and running free."
"Oh my! You seem to be right! Whatever will I do! He could have shot me in the back for the past hour." She widened her eyes dramatically, "he is such a big man he could have easily snapped my neck while I slept next to him!" She looked behind her at Garrus winking, "or he could have slit my throat as he fucked me."
Wrex laughed his shotgun still held steady as he doubled over in laughter. Garrus' mandibles flared as the mercs shifted around, clearly uncomfortable with the way she was teasing them.
The mercs tried to compose themselves, "if you can't handle your turian, we can take him off your hands."
Wrex laughed harder this time his shotgun shook Garrus was lost on to why Wrex would think that last sentence was funny. Shepard smiled at the mercs, "oh I am pretty sure I can handle him now, if you don't mind I would like to go back to my ship. So in other words Fuck Off!"
The mercs raised their guns, "let me rephrase that, well take him off your hands now."
Before any of them were able to pull the trigger a shot rang out and the leader had a beautiful quarter size hole in his temple. A beautiful red mist blew back spraying the mercs behind him. The mercs looked at Garrus and tried to shoot him, he squeezed his finger over the trigger two more times with two more mercs falling perfect shots in their heads. Garrus moved behind cover as she started shooting getting in the way so they wouldn't focus on him.
Her shields were holding up, as several mercs started shooting at her. They forgot about Wrex though, as another merc fell under the spray of shotgun pellets from him. Four mercs left, they took cover popping up only to pop some shots off. Wrex moved closer to one and when he popped up again, he was met with a shotgun in the face. Wrex pulled the trigger as blood and brain matter splattered in all directions.
Shepard took aim when the next merc stood up was about to shoot when she heard a bang and another nice hole in the mercs head.
"Damn it Garrus that was my kill!" She ran over to the last two mercs pulling out her shotgun and shot them both. By the time she was done shooting, both mercs looked so disfigured, a little over kill but she loved her shotgun.
"Shepard what the hell!" Wrex yelled with a smile on his face.
"I knew if I didn't just go for it, you or Garrus would take the kills." She said noticing the spray of blood on her armor. Damn some brain tissue, which was so hard to clean. She would end up like Tali cleaning her armor for the next week trying to get everything.
Garrus walked up his mandibles in a wide grin, "told you I am good with a sniper."
Shepard laughed and motioned them to follow her, walking out of the ally and back toward the ship. She was so preoccupied trying to spot all the brain matter on her armor she bumped into a batarian. He grabbed her by her arms holding her steady, she heard Garrus growl deep in his throat.
"Shepard I knew you'd come running to my arms someday." She looked up to see Bray.
"So funny Bray I forgot to laugh, now why have you come looking for me."
"Shepard you know if I'm here it is because Aria wants to speak to you. You can't walk into Omega without catching her attention, and then you go and shoot some mercs." He shook his head at her before letting go of her arms and staring at Garrus.
"Might want to tell him to calm down in front of Aria, she will take it as challenge to see if she can break him."
Shepard looked at Garrus, "Garrus, I need you to stay calm no matter what happens."
He nodded and stood quietly showing no emotions. Kind of easy for turians, if you don't know what to look for you would never notice their expressions. Shepard nodded at Bray and was lead to Afterlife the music blared and was slowly giving Shepard a headache. Needed to make this quick with Aria.
Her group was led up to where Aria sat, looking bored as ever. Garrus and Wrex stood back while she sat down near Aria.
"Aria, I heard you wanted to see me?"
Aria looked over at her, then over to Wrex and Garrus. "Shepard I had no clue you had a turian. I hope he is as much fun as he looks, now I understand why you killed some eclipse mercenaries, still I need you to tell me why?"
"They wanted my turian, but he's my property. I don't let people take my things."
Aria nodded, "I understand that Shepard, not why I really wanted to see you. I heard you are here because of some outposts nearby have gone dark. One of the outposts had some of my property within. I want you to secure the outpost and see if any of my property is still there. Never fear Shepard, it is nothing too bad, just weapons and armor." She waved Shepard off.
As Shepard stood, Aria added one last thing, "Oh and please tell me if you ever want to sell him. He would be great to add to my collection, though I wouldn't let him talk. I like my pets to stay just that, pets that beg for my attention."
Shepard walked off ignoring Aria, she always felt like she needed a hot scolding shower after dealing with that woman. Leaving the club and heading straight for her ship, as she entered, she clipped "take off, get me away from here."
Joker complied as she waved both Wrex and Garrus off before heading up to her cabin. Elevator ride didn't take as long as usual, probably because she was again too lost in thought. Once in her cabin she headed straight for the shower, taking her armor off so she could clean the blood and brain without getting it everywhere. Shepard took her shower and tried to relax her muscles, Shepard had to change her entire self to match Aria when she talked to her. She felt disgusting with the way she talked about Garrus to Aria. Like she needed another reason to feel like shit. She sighed her head leaned against the shower wall letting the water wash over her.
Shepard never heard the door open or the steps behind her till the water turned hotter. Startled she turned around coming face to face with Nihlus. Before she could tell him to fuck off and leave her alone so she could burn her skin off from Aria's mega bitch stink. Nihlus moved closer nibbling her neck and started caressing her skin. Her body was too worked up to ignore the attention she grabbed him by his fringe hard and pushed him against the wall. She tried to kiss him but he pulled away quickly.
"Allergic." The only word he made but Shepard understood. He was allergic to levo tissue, no swapping spit with him. Or feeling how skilled his tongue was on her more sensitive parts.
She moved her hand lower to his protective plates, they were already parted, his dick standing to attention. Without any thought she crawled up his body, his hands grabbing her ass. His talons pricked the sensitive skin, she grabbed his fringe moving his head back exposing his neck. Shepard wrapped one leg around his waist the other used his spur on his leg as leverage. She dropped herself expertly on his cock, filling her in an instant. He moaned, his eyes closing as she rode him, he used the wall behind him to keep them up as she continued to move herself up and down his cock.
She bit down on his neck, she moved her hips faster. He growled trying to take over, but she yanked his fringe to keep his neck exposed her. He accepted what she meant and just started thrusting up into her. She was so close she could feel his cock pulsing within her. Before she came, he exploded within her and she could feel him fill her up. He played with her clit with one talon as he mock thrusted, finally she cried as she threw her head back. Her back arched and her hands grasped his shoulders.
Nihlus wasn't anything like Garrus his cock didn't fill her as completely as Garrus' did. Nihlus submitted to her needs, he came early but at least finished her. This really was like a normal quickie just letting some of that stress go. She moved her legs unwrapping herself from him as he helped ease her down. He moved nipping her ear before leaving the shower as she noticed the water was growing colder. It seems maybe Nihlus saw her annoyance and only came in to ease her emotions. She wondered if he used her like she just used him.
God damn it, she needed to stop this. She was already told they wanted this! Nihlus wasn't forced in here to fuck her. She never ordered him to do anything! Turning off the now cold shower she grabbed a towel and headed for bed. She dressed in just panties, screw the bra, and crawled under the newly cleaned sheets and laid in bed. Garrus would come in soon, and she wanted sleep. Before she drifted off she wondered why Nihlus barely spoke to her like Garrus did.
Garrus walked into Shepard's cabin and was immediately hit with the smell of sex. Shepard and Nihlus, he shouldn't be surprised or for some reason annoyed but he was. He growled low in his throat moving to the bed expecting to see both of them linked together asleep like he usually did with Shepard. But she was alone in her bed dead to the world around her. Well that eased his annoyance, but what kept him annoyed was his reaction to her with Nihlus alone. Damn it, he removed his new armor and under suit.
He moved and laid in bed next to her, she still smelled of Nihlus. He grabbed her and held her close trying to snuff out the other turians scent. She moved in her sleep in a better position next to him, least she did this with him and not Nihlus. Closing his eyes he needed to rest he was going with her to the outposts tomorrow.
He smiled slightly when she nuzzled his chest plates, rubbing her scent on him, he purred lightly. Well, Garrus thought, least she was comfortable, she was once again using his arm as a pillow. Finally after half an hour he was able to ignore his racing mind and drift off.
