"So, uh..."

"Yeah."

"Can you blame me? That Jessica is hot as hell."

"It's Jennifer," Ossaidra corrected. "You don't even know her name, dumbfuck, and you tell her you love her."

"Shut the hell up, faggot."

"I'm your older sister."

"By what, five years? You're still a faggot."

"Whatever, you have to clean my sheets. Your fucking jizz is all over it."

Shia smirked. "Want some?"

Ossaidra shoved her shoulder. Shia whipped behind her, snaked an arm around her neck and tightened her muscles, putting her in a stranglehold. Ossaidra struggled to breathe and winced as she Shia's arm continued to constrict her airway.

Shia's eyes were wild. "You wanna get it now, do ya?"

"L-let go of m-me!"

"Not until you admit you're a faggot!"

"O-okay! I'm a faggot!" she hissed.

Shia released her grip on her. "That's right."


Shepard and Shia sat at the dinner table, eating like barbarians. The rest of the family were out shopping.

"Shia."

"Yeah dad?"

Shepard swallowed a piece of roasted salarian leg. "I heard you had sex with Jennifer. On Ossaidra's bed."

"Dad..."

"It's not really serious in my opinion, but, Ossaidra was really upset." Shepard forked a piece of asari head tentacle and used her knife to cut it into smaller pieces. She stuffed some in her mouth and chewed on the juicy meat.

"She's such a fucking wimp dad. She didn't even have the confidence to tap dat ass," Shia said with her mouth full of human breast.

"Pass me the drell chops," Shepard said. Shia handed her the plate full of steaming drell meat. "Well, that is true, being the little pussy she is. Although that was kind of a dick move you did back there."

"Whatever."

"So, how's school? Grades?"

Shia stood up and retrieved her datapad with her grades from the kitchen counter. She sat back down and handed it to her father.

"Hm..."

"Interesting..." Shepard commented. "I see you're a fucking BOSS at math... just like me," they high-fived. "Although, your language skills... could be better."

"Fuck that class."

"Yeah, I hated it too," Shepard confessed. "Why are you taking Japanese?"

"It was either that or some Volus language."

"Ahh."

"Not many options in the language department. Hey dad... do you ever get the feeling that... we're in some sort of story?"

"What?"

"Sometimes, I feel like we're actually just these characters in some story that's based on ANOTHER story, being written by some kid in Japan. Ever get that feeling?"

"Err... no."

"Oh, well, never mind then."


"Traynor."

"T'Loak."

Traynor stretched her arms, yawning her first yawn in her new life. "Where the bloody hell are we?"

"Not sure. Some sort... facility." They checked their surroundings. Glass tubes everywhere that were large enough to contain a human or asari. Fluorescent lights overhead, rather bright to their untrained eyes.

"Last thing I remember..." Traynor tried to recall. "Shepard she... hurt me. Real bad. For sleeping with Liara."

"That was over a century ago," Aria said. "Well... I think. If this year is still 2290."

"2290? How long was I... oh god. Am I dead?"

"I... I think I remember dying, actually. Shepard... shot me in the head after she beat me senseless."

"That psychopathic bitch," Traynor swore. "So we've somehow come back from the dead, somehow. Is Shepard alive?"

"I believe so. Let's make her pay," Aria growled.
