We had just got off the Reaper IFF, using a slightly modified team (Grunt and Garrus) than usual. We'd found a geth that had a piece of N7 armor. I activated him, and he had joined our team. EDI had decided to call him Legion. Legion agreed that it fit, and now I was asking him why he had N7 armor.
"We followed where Shepard-Commander went. On Eden Prime, we were shot." Legion said.
"You followed me for two years?" I asked.
"Yes." Legion said.
"I never lost any N7 armor until the SR-1 was destroyed. Did you wait two years, with a gaping hole in your chest, and patch up the hole with my armor?" I asked.
"Yes." Legion said.
"Why?" I asked.
"There was a hole." Legion said.
"Why not use something that was available at the time?" I asked.
"Data not found." Legion said quietly.
I shrugged. "It's cool looking, for whatever reason you decided to add it onto you." I said.
I went to visit Jack as quietly as possible, being extra-careful on the stairs. My extra-care was for nothing, however, as I fell down the majority of the stairs.
"Shepard? What the hell did you say to the others?" Jack asked.
"Nothing." I said, getting up. Jack was way closer than I thought, and as soon as I stood straight she got rid of all room between us.
"Everyone is saying shit about how you're going to choose one of the girls, and how I might be your damn choice. I thought you didn't want anything from me!" Jack yelled.
"I don't." I said. "Tali and Miranda both like me, and Tali suddenly threw up the option to choose one of them. I don't want to hurt either of them, but I have to choose one of them."
Jack sat back on her bed and looked at me. I returned back to my usual spot leaning on the wall. "Have you thought about banging me?" Jack asked, breaking the silence.
"I'm trying to choose which girl accepts me for the blundering idiot I am. Or, at least, can put up with it." I said.
"I can." Jack said.
"You like me like that?" I asked.
"You never try to use me. You would've messed up and showed me that you were going to by now." Jack said. "And if you do use me, you're just another body."
"So...you trust me?" I asked hesitantly.
"As much as I can. And you're damn looking. When I first saw you I thought you were just some idiot looking out for an all-powerful bitch. Then, you start talking to me, and eventually see me cry, tuck me in, and kiss me on the head. No one's done that before, and I would never have let anyone do that to me. But I did." Jack looked at me. "I like you, Shepard."
"I...I like you to." I smiled. Jack didn't smile, but in her eyes there was some happiness, the kind that puts anyone who sees it in a good mood.
"Commander, we're on Omega." Joker said.
"See you soon, Jack." I said.
"Don't take all f*cking day." Jack said, and my small smile turned into a full-on ear-to-ear smile.
"So, I go in there, talk to Morinth, and you kill her?" I asked.
"She is an Ardat Yakshi. Do not get seduced, or she will kill you." Samara said. We'd found out what she liked-art, music, and danger. It'd be easy. Of course, in her apartment, it was freakin' scary. I thought Samara was going to shoot Morinth at Afterlife, but Samara didn't show, so I just went with Morinth, thinking 'any minute now, Samara is going to hop out and save me.'
"Way to go, Shepard. Seduce an asari who kills people by banging them and get locked in her damn apartment!" I muttered, then sat by Morinth. She sat on my lap, and her eyes went black.
"Are you ready for this?" She asked.
"Yes, lord and master." I said. I couldn't control myself. Samara walked into the room, smashing Morinth into the windows. I didn't catch what was said, but when Samara and Morinth were both locked in a biotic attack, both equals, I knew who I would choose.
"That ain't happenin', bitch!" I said, kicking Morinth in the stomach. Samara finished her off, and I asked her how she was doing, and we left.
Why the hell are women always attracted to me? The foolish charms are a gift and a curse.
I finished off the rest of the personal missions and bought the rest of the upgrades, but when the ship stopped working and we left on a shuttle to finish the last mission, I knew stuff was going down. When we came back and the ship was empty except for Joker, I had to know what the hell happened.
"The collectors took everyone!" Joker said.
"I think we should go and take them out, now." Jacob said.
"We should prepare more." Miranda said.
"I never thought I'd say this, but I agree with Jacob. Let's get there." I said. When the room cleared out, three women came back.
"This is stupid, but you need to choose who you want to be with, Shepard. There's no more dodging." Miranda said.
"Why the f*ck am I here?" Jack asked.
"Okay. Whoever I don't choose, can we still be friends?" I asked. I wasn't stalling this time around.
"Yes." Tali said.
"Okay." Miranda said. I'd chosen, yes, but I was suddenly doubting my choice. On a limb, I decided to take it and run.
"I choose Jack!" I said quickly.
"What?" Both Tali and Miranda said in unison.
"You two acted crazy, and Jack was the only one acting sane." I said. "I'm sorry, but, y'know, I chose. Take it as you will."
"It-It's okay." Tali said. "I understand. This was kind of stupid, wasn't it?"
"Yes." Miranda said. Jack wasn't saying anything. Miranda and Tali walked out, both looking at me.
"Eh, Jack. You okay?" I asked, right before she jumped on me.
