Odd Little Shorts

by The Odd Little Turtle

Drabbles written for Wednesday Prompts at the ME Challenge LiveJournal. Short, badly written and mostly stupid. You've been warned. Features a good chunk of Joker, Ashley, Kaidan, Shepard, and James Vega but I make fun of other characters too.

10. Thane's Coat

Prompt: Thane's Coat

They were on Horizon when Thane fell, his body ripped by husks. Shepard ran, biotically-smashed and shot at the things to no avail.

The countdown to get the GARDIANs online seemed last forever. Shepard couldn't get to him. Try as the Commander might, the drell's body lay where he'd fallen.

Then the cannons fired great blasts at the massive ship.

When the ship left the atmosphere, charring the field it had landed in, Shepard raced to where Thane had fallen. Garrus was patching up the drell assassin.

"Let's not do that again," Thane said, a mixture of humor amid horror. "Or next time let's save more than half."

Shepard nodded wholeheartly. "More than half."

"I think you owe me a shopping trip," Thane said. It was at this point that Shepard realized that Thane had also hit his head.

Shepard agreed with Thane just to keep him talking, to get him back to Dr. Chakwas. "Sure. I'll even buy you a new coat."
