Electroshock.
A/N: Sorry this took so long, writers block is a cruel bitch. Anyway here you go I hope you enjoy this wild crazy chapter. Note, I really did not know what to call this one so I called it 'Electroshock' after the 3Oh3 song that was listening while I wrote this craziness. Lol. Thank you to my awesome beta.
Shepard blinked at what the Asari just said to her. Aria watched the agitation creep across Quinn's face; a small smirk coming to her blue lips.
"Ah I see there is some bad blood between ex-lovers." T'Loak laughed. She was just enjoying this bit of news.
"Ha! Ex-lover, I would not even call him that." Shepard snorted and shook her head and put her hand up slightly to wave away the thought.
"Mmm. I see, well at any case I should have you know that Alliance ships are not really welcomed in the Terminus Systems. I just wanted to make sure that you had nothing to do with it." Aria stressed, lifting a slender brow. She had to make sure to cover her ass in some things if that was the case. Even though Omega was not under Alliance rule, and she was the Queen, she did not want all-out war with them. It was bad for business. Shepard narrowed her eyes and stood, she slightly swayed from her rum and Coke buzz but it was starting to fade. Damn him, he was killing her good shore leave!
"Ha! Why would I have anything to do with the Alliance?" Shepard asked pointing at herself indignantly. "Fuck the Alliance. Now if you will excuse me, T'Loak, my shore leave is not over and I still have a lot of drink to do." She said walking down the stairs and back to her table.
Who did he think he was, following her like that? Omega was a huge rock, maybe he was there for his own business, Shepard hoped silently as she finished her drink, slamming it back onto the table in agitation. She stood and walked back to the bar to get another leaning on the bar and tapping her hand on the counter to the beat of the music.
"Shepard…" She heard from beside her and stiffened. Fuck. Quinn let out a low snarl at the voice that had called out to her. She slowly turned around to find brown, chocolate eyes staring back, seeming to look straight through her. She just stood there and raised a brow at him, waiting, curse her bad luck.
Kaidan stood there, his eyes taking every inch of her he could. From her black stiletto heels, black tight fitting dress, exposed thick thighs, the curve of her hips and supple cleavage. She looked amazing…His mouth opened but nothing came out, he just stared at her. Across the bar, Jack sat knocking back a shot of whiskey. She glanced up and saw Kaidan standing next to Quinn. A smirk came to Jack's full lips as she hopped off of her bar stool and made her way to the back of the club where Garrus and Tali were. She was going to show that fucker not to mess with her Commander and maybe, just maybe if things played out right she would get one hell of a fucking show.
"Hey Garrus! Guess who came to crash our party!" Jack screamed over the loud music, pointing over to the bar and through the sea of people. Garrus intrigued, looked over to the direction she was pointing to and made out the sight of Kaidan talking to his Shepard, his mate and his ex. The low rumble that rattled through his chest was heard by both Tali and Jack. Tali turned around and then shook her head putting her three fingered hand on her mask.
"Ohh, Keelah." She sighed. This was not going to end well. Garrus staggered to his feet and made his way towards them. A drunken Turian was never a good thing. Especially a pissed off drunken Turian.
"Why did you do that?" Tali shook her head at Jack who had a huge smirk on her face.
"This is gonna be some good shit." Jack laughed as her and Tali walked closer for a better look at the train wreck that was about to unfold in the club.
"What do you want?" Shepard asked, finally getting her drink and taking a long sip. She was going to need more on top of more shots if she even wanted a chance to deal with him.
"This is your mission to save man kind?" He grunted in disgust, looking at the crew laughing, dancing and drinking to their hearts content.
"Excuse me? Who are you to pass judgment on me and my crew?" Shepard could feel the alcohol swimming in her head and it was not going to be a good thing if her anger got the best of her. Kaidan stood there with nothing to say for a moment. Shit. He did not want to antagonize her, but seeing her dressed like that, on parade for every male to see just boiled his blood. "And you come to Omega following me, in the damn Terminus Systems. You know how they feel about the Alliance; I'm surprised they did not take you and whoever else is on your ship and interrogate them, or even just straight up killed you. Are you nuts, what the hell are you thinking?" Shepard spat but a three taloned hand grabbed her ass surprising her and affectively shutting up anything else she was going to say. Garrus gripped her from behind and let out a dangerous low growl, nuzzling his face in the curve of her neck, softly nipping at her. Quinn unconsciously let out a breathy moan at his actions and leaned into him. Garrus looked at Kaidan, his blue eyes taunting.
"Oh, Alenko, I did not see you there." Garrus said, lifting his head from Quinn's neck. His sharp blue eyes playfully aware of how jealous the other would get.
"You...and Quinn are..." Kaidan started to say until Garrus pushed Quinn behind him and stuck his chest out. Turians where territorial to what was theirs. And he would make sure that Alenko never got the chance to reclaim what he so carelessly threw away. Stupid human.
"You got something to say, Alenko?" Garrus threatened, his alcohol intake having a lot to do with the extra overly masculine attitude. Everything that happened the day of Shepard's funeral was running over and over in his mind. It happened two long years ago and some months ago but he was still seething mad about it, it had felt like it just happened yesterday and his drunken state was bring all of those thoughts to the surface. It was beginning to overflow.
"So you're in to aliens now?" Kaidan spat, pointing at her accusingly and trying to see her from behind the huge over protective male in front of him.
"Excuse me!" Quinn yelled, trying to step towards Kaidan and not kill him from the comment but Garrus blocked her and held her securely behind once more. Everyone on the crew was watching the drama unfolding with their Commander, her turian lover and her scorned ex. Garrus let out a low chuckle and stepped towards Kadian, both of them less than a few inches apart now.
"I fuck her better then you ever could." Garrus quipped, trying to get a rise from the other knowing it would make him jealous and although it would embarrass her a bit, he could not help what he said in his drunken stupor. Shepard's mouth dropped at what he had just said. She knew he would not say that if he was not under the influence of the many drinks he had put down that night, but a drunken man's words are a sober man's thoughts. The jealousy and bad blood between the two men that had built from the time they were on the first Normandy up until now was about to spill open. Kaidan's blue biotics crept through his fist as he pulled back to land a punch on Garrus, knowing that if he did not use his biotics it would not faze him as much as if he did. He missed only by a hair but that was enough to entice the other to reciprocate. A lot of people where staring at them now, some in fright while others made bets and stood close for entertainment purposes. Fantastic...
Quinn could not believe what was happening. These two military trained men were about to make fools out of themselves right in front of her, lowering themselves to a bar fight in quite possibly the seediest place in the Galaxy. She would be fibbing if she said it did not turn her on to see Garrus drunk and ready to fight for his territory, that primal growl that left his throat made her soaking wet.
"I should have straightened you out at her funeral when I had the chance." Garrus hissed, Quinn shook her head and stepped between them but as soon as she did Garrus knocked her forcefully out of the way as he reached and grabbed Kaidan. Shepard staggered and twisted her ankle because of her heels, and by the time she turned around a fist fight had broken out between the two men. People around were yelling and howling and security did nothing. They just watched, amused. Perhaps due to Aria's insistence and her craving for violence and entertainment. Quinn felt anger course through her blood, no one pushed her. Not even Garrus. She was his Commander first and foremost and lover second and she would not have this behavior.
"Gunnery Chief, Garrus fucking Vakarian! I order you to fall in line or you will have to deal with me!" She yelled sliding between the two men and facing him. Kaidan rubbed his sore jaw behind them. Garrus seemed to have gotten a good shot judging by the pain. It was probably broken if not cracked. Garrus paused for a moment and then went to step around her and go for Kaidan again but Shepard put her hands on his chest. In his clouded state Garrus let out a snarl at her. Quinn looked at him like he was out of him mind; she gritted her teeth and slapped him across his face. Garrus blinked out of shock.
"Get your shit together. Who do you think you are growling at?" She hissed at him. Garrus lowered his head out of shame.
"Hey, that looks like Archangel." They heard someone from the crowd of spectators say. Shit.
"It is him!" Someone else yelled, Quinn looked to her right and it was a group of Blue Suns, armed to the teeth. Shit. Shit. Shit. In that moment her buzz was gone and it was time for an all-out fire fight in Afterlife. Innocent patrons seemed to know what was about to unfold as they all ran out of the many exits from the club, pushing and rushing before the bullets started to fly as Shepard began turning tables for cover. The bartender ducked and hid under the bar. Kelly ran towards Joker and grabbed him by his arm.
"Ow! Watch it!" He screamed in pain, his fragile bones threatening to break as Kelly tugged on him.
"Come on, we gotta get out of here!" She ordered quickly helping him out of the club. The blue suns made the first move firing off shots towards Garrus. Kaidan pulled out his weapon and shot back, confused at what was happening around him. Quinn pulled out her concealed weapon from her holder hidden at the very top of her thigh. Miranda, Jacob and Jack blasted off some with their biotics. Tali pulled out her shotgun and hid behind an over turned table, Grunt charged and Quinn heard Garrus yell "Scoped and dropped" every time he took one of them out. Even when they were all wasted they were still an unstoppable team and that thought made Shepard feel oddly proud.
"What the hell is even going on here!" Kaidan yelled as he and Quinn ducked for cover after another round of shots delivered to the Blue Suns.
"Long story! I'll have to tell you later!" Shepard said, shooting a merc in the chest. Garrus dropped back to cover alongside of Kaidan. Not his ideal place at the moment but cover was cover.
"Like old times, huh?" Kaidan mumbled slightly only for Garrus to hear. Garrus mandibles fluttered slightly at his words.
"Yeah…" He answered after a seconds delay, then cleared his throat to continue.
"Look, I'm sorry about that fight I was….still am really drunk." Garrus apologized in between reloading and taking out mercs.
"Look! I'm really happy you two are kissing and making up but we really need to get out of here, they will have reinforcements coming soon." Quinn said running towards the door, Kaidan and Garrus looked at each other and followed as well as the rest of the crew. Quinn felt herself stagger because of her heels and her slightly twisted ankle.
"Fuck these shoes." She cursed kicking them off, grabbing them and running bare foot out of Afterlife. Garrus and Kaidan right beside her. They pushed past people on the streets of Omega on the way to the docking bay. They made it to the bay, the rest of the crew made their way to the Normandy but Shepard and Garrus paused and looked at Kaidan.
"Garrus, I'm sorry about what I said before." Kaidan said to the dizzy Turian. Fighting, shooting, and dodging bullets while drunk was not an easy feat.
"I'm sorry for punching you in the face." Garrus laughed putting his taloned hand on Kaidan's shoulder.
"You're a lucky man to have her." Kaidan mumbled dejectedly and glanced over to Shepard. "You two be safe."
"You too." Garrus and Shepard said to him as they parted ways. They both boarded the Normandy and she ran to the bridge.
"Joker you sober enough to drive her?" She asked, grabbing the back of his chair and leaning on it heavily. Fuck, she was tired.
"I got it, Commander." He said as the drive core switched on and the thrusters hummed to life and began to pull them the hell out of Omega. Not the shore leave that she was planning on having but in one crazy night, Garrus had gotten into two fights, she had sort of cleared the air with Kaidan, and they had a fire fight while everyone was drunk. Awesome. The only thing that was not awesome was the fact that she felt that she needed a few immunity boosters after running through the streets of Omega with no shoes on.
