Zaeed
The crew never really saw Shepard angry.
Garrus, Thane, and a few other members of the team had experienced the pleasure.
Nothing like what they were about to witness.
All of the crew, minus Joker, where on level three getting dinner.
They heard the footsteps of their commanding officer before anything (else).
From their place at the table, Garrus and Thane watched John march right up to Zaeed, who was in line for dinner
"Massani!"
The next thing everyone knew Zaeed was on the ground.
"What the fuck is your problem?" Zaeed held his hand to his face.
"My problem? What the fuck is your problem?"
Massani tried to get back on his feet when John pushed him back down with his boot.
"I've told you more than once never to jeopardize my crew or my team."
Garrus knew exactly what John was talking about, he was there.
"Those workers didn't need to be endangered!"
"He was going to get away!"
"Then after mission you can go find him yourself."
"Fuck you, Shepard!"
"That is not how we do things here, Massani."
Zaeed had a comeback but stopped.
"If you want I'll drop your ass back at Omega, I really don't fucking care."
John moved his foot and the old bounty hunter pulled himself off the floor.
"They were the price of revenge!"
"The price was too high. And if I ever have to tell you that again I'll put a bullet in your head."
Zaeed grunted, "It's been done before."
"Unlike Vido, I'll make sure your dead."
With that Shepard walked the way he came.
Samara
"You're going to let her use you as bait?"
Garrus wasn't happy and neither was Thane.
"I do not believe this is a wise idea, John."
"I know, Thane. You've told me, three times."
"Can't you find another way?"
John sighed.
"Garrus if you can come up with another plan then great."
Garrus sighed.
"You think a mass murder would go for a standard Cerberus uniform?" John asked.
"Well John when you put it like that"
"Shut up, Garrus"
Legion
"Why is it whenever I go somewhere with you I get shot at?" Garrus yelled over the gunfire.
"It's part of my charm, Garrus!"
"Shepard-Commander, this one believes it is unwise to hold conversation during battle."
Garrus laughed.
John shrugged, "Once again, part of my charm."
"Shepard-Commander, we have less than one minute before system is overridden."
"Garrus, why is it whenever I go somewhere with you I almost get blown up?"
"It's part of my charm, John."
Jack
He watched her flip the top of the trigger a few times.
She looked up at him.
He was sure if it was the two of them she would have been crying.
Jack crying?
Never.
He gave her a little head nod.
He bangs on the shuttle door.
They all felt the effects of the massive bomb that was placed only minutes ago.
John looked back up at Jack.
She sat back in the seat and closed her eyes.
A face of peace.
John knew that look well.
Jacob
A little over a week had pasted since leaving Aeia.
Jacob was a little more than quiet the whole time.
He had stop coming down for dinner with the crew.
John went to check on him.
"Mr. Taylor, is there any reason you choose not to eat?"
Jacob looked away.
"Jacob, my father isn't the easiest man in the world to get along with." John shrugged his shoulders, "Well, he's an ass. He doesn't deserve my mother."
"Sir, why are you telling me this?"
"Before your father went missing did you look up to him?"
Jacob nodded.
"Then look at those times and not the man we left on Aeia. You think you can do that?"
"Yes, sir."
"Good, Rupert has a plate for you."
A/N: Don't worry Miranda will kill John soon. Anderson need to go make nice with Momma Shepard. Anatolios pointed out that I used a Juno quote in the last chapter. I really think for me that is my favorite part of the whole movie. I did a little editing it so it would fit, but it works well. More soon.
Later,
Ace
Post A/N: This is a repost of the chapter. A shout out to Siha Krios who did some beta reading for me.
