I softly giggled as I went inside the Embassies as it wasn't long before I heard a all too familiar voice calling out "Commander Hansen!"

Kaidan groaned as we saw Khalisah al-Jilani, "Good luck with her."

"Jee thank you," I grumbled as I approached her, "Okay I'm here... What do ya want?"

"Just a few minutes of your time." She replied before saying, "Please."

'She had to say the good old please card, oh great', I thought as I turned, "Kaidan could you ask Bailey about the recruit please? I might be a while."

"Yeah sure." He said as he left us.

"Did you know back then Shepard was alive?"

Good thing I had read all the reports and my journals from the last few years on the Bonaventure, "At first I thought it was just tabloid trash but then I heard the reports about Shepard being back from the dead before I was sent to Horizon to investigate something near the colony base."

"And what did you find there."

"Just that it supported Shepard's evidence of the Reaper's existence."

"And what about the newest phenomenon of everything being reset?"

"I had found some evidence of a rogue Cerberus scientist who planned to sabotage the Crucible with his own device, making Shepard's choice to the war's outcome be meaningless, as the war will continue only to restart over all over again."

"Did you manage to catch him in the act?"

"I managed to save Shepard, but I almost died in the process." I replied, "That was when the crew of the Normandy found me and brought me here for more medical treatment."

"And now you're a Specter." Khalisah spoke, "Why did it take you this long?"

"Well, Udina and I never seen eye to eye, I believed he was crooked but him being on the citadel well I didn't have authority to investigate him here because as a Raider I am allowed to investigate human occupied territory that involves areas of historical significance regardless of origin. The Citadel well was off limits."

"Was it because you used to date one of his sons?"

"Ahhh... Maybe?... But he didn't like me as I didn't like his way of politics."

"Much did a lot of people, who did you prefer?"

"Anderson," I replied, "I don't know much about the Newly appointed Ambassador for Humanity but I'm the kind of person who rather get to know the person before the politics."

She turned off the camera droid as she looked at me "I heard about what happened to you, are you ok?"

"I hadn't had a flashback since last night so here's hoping I don't get anymore. You know I'm sorry Shep been giving you a hard time the past few years."

"Oh piff I'm over it, I'm just sorry I didn't listen to you of looking for another angle."

"It's called a loophole Khalisah." I reminded her.

"Right."

"Look I know you're doing everything you can to get a chance to talk to the council but I think you might need to finds something else to grab their attention that could help our situation more."

"How so?"

"The status of the refugees for instance." I spoke, "No One is being their voice. Why isn't the media covering it?"

She looked at me and nodded, "Ah... I could do that as a expose to get their attention?"

"Oh and just don't give me any credit."

"Don't worry it'll be something to do while I wait."

"Two birds one stone Khalisah."

She smiled at me, "I'll remember that."

I then left Khalisah to find Kaidan just exiting out of the C-Sect office. "Hey Mel."

"What did Bailey have to say?"

"Our best bet is to go to the Flotilla or their homeworld."

"Better than nothing."

"True... so ah last night."

I blushed as I flirted at him, "What about last night?"

"How far did you want to go really last night?"

I chuckled then I looked at him, "Well I was restraining myself the entire time... To be honest I wanted you ever since we met."

"You're not the only one," He whispered into my ear, "I wanted you that night we were at your apartment."

"Well you helping me putting my armour on that was quite romantic, reminded me of The last Samurai movie."

He smiled, "That's a good one, it's a shame not to many people talk about it now a days. But maybe perhaps you could show me the Captain's cabin on the Bonaventure?"

"Yes sir." I teased.

The Bonaventure

"Captain on deck." said Eddie, as Kaidan and I entered the cockpit area.

"Eddie I see you're getting yourself familiar with military protocols?" I spoke.

"Is it necessary?" He asked, "I'm not sure if I'm technically a civilian or what?"

"You could consider yourself a Cadet for now." said Pranky.

"Like a trainee?"

"Yeah but we'd refer them as cadets most of the time before calling them Private's." said Kaidan.

"Ah Pranky, Kaidan is joining the crew." I spoke nervously... She just winked with a smile and nodded at me... "And is there anything else I should know about?" She teased me.

"Ahh... Not at the time being Pranky Just take us to the Flotilla slash Rannoch. We have a Quarian or two to track down."

"Have fun." She teased as Kaidan and I walked away.

Kaidan and I went into the elevator as he cornered me.

"Fuck she knows about us." I groaned whining.

"Melly, who cares if they talk about us behind our backs. After what you've been through they're probably happy on how things finally pulled through in your favour."

"Kaidan am I still dreaming?"

He pinched my ass and chuckled as he quoted me, "How'd you like me now?"

"God dammit Kaidan." I said as he lifted his brows with a teasing grin, only that when the elevator opened he picked me up into his arms.

"You didn't answer me."

I giggled, "I don't have to... You Biotic Badass."

"Badass?" He said as we entered the Cabin, "I like it."
