Mass Effect Shepard Rises.
As Shepard, Tali and kaidan walked towards C-sec armoury to collect Shepard's SPECTRE gear, he couldn't help but smile he was the first human spectre he had unlimited power and answered to only the council in a way he could understand how Saren had gone rogue, but that was all the more reason to bring him in, after a rather long walk they found themselves in C-sec kaidan stops and turns to Shepard, " commander I think im going to go back to the Normandy and help with the re supply, if there are any issues I will be sure to contact you," he watched as kaidan saluted him and entered the elevator that will take him to the docks. Now they were alone he motioned for Tali to follow him " so Tali any idea's on how we can upgrade your amour," he watched as Tali lowered her head and started to speak "well maybe we can use sections to add on top of mine, but you don't have to do this Shepard I could just try upgrading my shield's I would… well you know… erm understand," he chuckled to himself and replied " Tali so far you are the most selfish person I know, I want to do this OK just take a deep breathe and relax," he watches as her chest puffs in and then out.
After a few minutes of silent walking they arrived at the armoury behind the counter was a turian " ah commander I hear congratulations are in order the first human spectre," Shepard shifts his feet at that and replies " thanks Mr…" he watches as the turian jumps to his feet and extends his hand " please call me Septimus, now hold still as I scan you ready for your new armour it will take a few hours to complete but in mean time you can use shooting range and test your weapons, once you had your armour and weapons well start the training program," he nods and stands still as the scanner scans him and Septimus input the relevant data into his computer, " well then commander if you'll follow me I can set you up in the shooting range but I must ask that your quarian friend to please leave," he walks toward Tali and places his hand on her shoulder " well I was hoping to kill to birds with one stone while im here," he watches as his two companions head tilt to the side and chuckles " it's a human expression what I should say is Tali will be joining my crew so id like to personally pay to upgrade her armour while I was here," he watches as Septimus nods " of course miss Tali please input your idea into the terminal while im gone and I will see it's ready with the commanders," following Septimus shepard turns before entering the shooting range " oh Tali please go ahead and knock your self out, I want you safe if we ever go into a fire fight so splash out on your self," with that he enters the shooting range leaving Tali behind.
Tali was really confused why would she knock herself out was it another human expression or did he actually want her to knock herself out, she sighed and slumped into the seat by the computer terminal and began to input her weight, height and bust, she then added her idea's and her colour scheme after debating on if shepard had enough money she hit the completed button, now she just had to wait Shepard is a really kind person, he treats me as a person and not as an outcast if he were qurian I think it would be a sign that he likes me but he's not qurian and I don't understand humans and there body language, Tali sighed she was over thinking this Shepard treats me as a friend nothing more nothing less, after sitting doing nothing she pulled her shield generator off her belt and begin to upgrade it and fiddle with it trying to make it more effective. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she jumped when a hand landed on her shoulder, as she jumped out way a jolt of pain shot through her and she screamed.
Shepard loved these SPECTRE grade weapons they were by far so much better than any weapon he had ever held, after trying out every weapon vigorously he nodded and left the shooting range, there sitting at the computer table was Tali fiddling with some sort of tech might as well go talk to her, after placing the weapons on table " thanks Septimus these weapons are simply amazing I want to buy a few mods later but after that im good to go, let me know when armours ready im going to talk to my companion," " no problem commander," with that done he walked towards Tali, "Tali you OK," he continues to walk and his question goes unanswered, " Tali," again no answer, he reaches out and lays his hand on her shoulder and watches as she jumps then grabs her stomach and screams, he rushes to her side " oh my god Tali are you OK im so sorry didn't mean to scare you," he watches as she slowly lowers herself into the seat " Im OK just moved to fast," he lowers himself to his knees and grabs Tali's to hands, " Tali you sure you're OK it was only a few hours ago that you were shot," he feels as Tali squeezes his hands and nods, "good you had me worried," they both locked eyes and for a moment neither blinked or moved.
As Tali stared into Shepard light blue eyes she could feel her breathe catch and a blush spread her face all she could she in his eyes was care and concern for her, her a qurian the so called thieves and vagrants of the galaxy, she remembered how he carried her to the clinic and the way his hand gripped hers through her pain, and how he kissed her helmet, all of these things happened and if he were qurian his intentions would have been clear enough, but Shepard was anything but qurian he was tall powerfully built muscular but beneath all that she could see sadness a deep sadness she would never understand.
Shepard stared right back at Tali, he was concerned she wouldn't admit it but she was in pain he could see it in her luminous eyes, but throughout all the pain he could see happiness and joy, what was it about her that made him act like a love struck teenager, why was he so protective of her they only just meet earlier that day, and yet he was drawn to her in a way he never has been with a girl before, but yet here he was holding her hands and there eyes were locked he had no doubt that if she didn't have a mask on he would kiss her.
And there you go another chapter in my opinion the council don't just make shepard a spectre and then send him on his way so for my story he getting weapons and armour what you think good idea or bad and I know im rushing tali and shepards relationship but why not in this story shepard is 27 and talis going to be 21 so age wont be a problem anyway thanks everybody especially you kill-phil with out you pointing out my flaws this story wouldn't be nearly as good anyway check out on you tube this video its called mass effect 3 breathe.
