Reaper War Memorial , Vancouver

Jack and his Kansen Normandy came here to pay their respects to the fallen souls during the great Reaper war. The war was bought to an end with destruction of Reapers at the cost of thousands of sacrifices that never be forgotten.

" Did you lost someone , Commander " Normandy asked curiously . She was used to seeing losing her loved ones.

" My family actually " He said , sadness on his face

" How.."

" Cerberus..They killed them "

That shocked her. She had a history with them.

" When war began , my family along with her friends went to Safe haven , Sanctuary "

Sanctuary, no way . That alleged Cerberus slaughterhouse.

" I know about Sanctuary . It's was a facility ran by Cerberus "

" Then you know what those bastards did " He said , clenching his fist in anger " Those bastards turned them into husks , all of them , even my little sister lily "

" I ...I am sorry to hear this ...." Normandy spoke softly , somewhat feeling guilt about this

" That's why I hate those bastards . I literally hate everything they stood for " He punched his fist on the memorial " I hate everything they made and if I had anything that even remotely relates to them , I fucking get rid of it "

Hearing this Normandy felt a sharp pang in her heart . Maybe he didn't knew whole truth about her.She did the only thing she could do , She ran.

" Hey...where are you going " She could hear him calling for her , tears in her eyes.

Washroom , Few minutes later.

Normandy tried to wash her face , riddled with tear and sadness.

' He ... he will hate me....' She thought as few tears began to form on her face ' If he knew about that '

Before she could get a grip on herself , she found herself staring right at her commander's face.

" Ehh.." Normandy got startled by his presence

" There you are . Why did you ran away suddenly " He asked her when he noticed tears in her eyes. " Wait, you are crying..."

' It's now or never ' Normandy thought before facing her commander ' He deserve's to know the truth '

" Commander , what do you know about me " Normandy asked him , sadness in her tone.

" Why all of this sudden ... " he wondered why she would ask such a thing.

" Just answer me...Jack.." She literally ordered him angrily.

" Fine..fine.." He took a deep breath " You are Normandy SR2 , the Alliance Spectre flagship . You fought alongside Alliance Spectre Shepard against the Reapers and defeated them .You made him a galactic hero. You are a goddarn legend in the Alliance navy "

" That's it..."

" That's all I know..."

' That's what's I was fearing about ' She thought as she started unbuttoning her shirt.

" Hey , what are you trying to.." He was cut off by her

" Just let me finish doing this " She pulled down her shirt just below her breast " Look over here , what do you see "

" I can't..you..you are.."

" Just fucking see it , boshtet " She ordered him angrily " I AM fucking embarrassed to do this "

" Ok...ok.." He opened his eyes and tried not to look at her chest , but at the icon inscribed between her chest .That made him angry.

" Do you know that that symbol stands for.." She asked him calmly , trying not to mess up " Do you know who am I now "

" That's ... Cerberus. How ?? " He asked her angrily.

Grabbing his standard pistol , he pointed towards her heart " You are with Cerberus ??? "

The sight of his gun against her chest and his look of total betrayal broke her already mending heart.

" I was..." She said softly " I was built by Cerberus from the blueprints of my sister , stolen by them . I was supposed to be flagship of Cerberus under General Oleg Petrovsky , enforcing Cerberus ideals alongside him. Until I was repurposed for Commander Shepard to stop the Collectors."

" Shepard or not , you belonged to those people who stole my family " He spoke in an angry tone

" And I won't forgive anyone who had hands in the organisation who killed them , including you "

That statement broke her heart.

" I...I...so sorry " Normandy tried to apologise for something that wasn't her fault.

" Sorry won't bring them back..." He stormed off the washroom , leaving Normandy alone to fend her own storm of emotions.
