Chapter 2
Samara had fallen back asleep when holding the younger asari to her front but when she came to Angel was gone. At first she worried but she saw a note on the pillow beside her making her grab it. She unfolded it and saw Angel's handwriting. 'You looked to peaceful to wake so I figured I'd leave you this note for when you woke up. Going with Jane to the Diplomat meeting…she actually forced me to go. Says I'm her body guard if the Krogan and Turian get in a fight. Yeah okay. Anyways I'll see you after the meeting. Love, Angel' She sat up and rubbed her face when she heard a scream that made her jump out of bed and run out of the Observation Deck.
She ran down the hallway and into the eating area to find the Krogan Wrex with Angel draped over his shoulder laughing as he spun around. "Shepard's little sister!" he said before holding her up off him and she kicked her legs giggling.
"I take it the meeting went well?" asked Samara crossing her arms over her chest making Angel look at her.
"About as well as it can with Krogan, Salarian, and a Turian." answered Angel when Wrex set Angel down on her feet. "While you slept your ass off, we saved a female Krogan that Mordin named Eve and Mordin's making a cure for the…whatever it's called."
"Genophage." sighed Wrex. Angel just blinked at him making him chuckle and pat her on the head.
"Could've woken me up." stated the Justicar.
"My note said…"
"…that I looked peaceful. Yes I read the note Angel."
"You dream about something nice?" asked the 22 year old staring at Samara.
Did she dream? She couldn't even remember if she had. "I don't know."
"You had a smile on your face when I woke up so I figured."
"I see." sighed the Justicar. "Well what ever it was I'm sure it was pleasant." She saw Angel looking at her making her look confused. "What?"
"Could I meld and see what it was?" she asked.
"I…but I've never melded with anyone who wasn't my bondmate." stated the older asari.
"Please?" asked the 22 year old making Samara sigh.
"In the Observation Deck. Not here." she took Angel's hand in hers and Wrex chuckled as he saw the smile on the young girl's face.
Angel sat down on her bed and patted the spot in front of her, she saw how hesitant Samara was but she eventually sat in front of her. The young asari took Samara's hands in hers and held onto them as she looked the Matriarch in the eyes. She saw the Justicar nod and she smiled. "Embrace Eternity." whispered the younger girl as her eyes became coated in an inky black color.
Angel's eyes moved around as she saw flashes of Samara's life before she became a Justicar, before she lost her bondmate. Her dream had been a memory, Samara's bondmate kissing her and telling her she loved her. Morinth as a young child bringing her mother flowers and telling her she was the best mother in the galaxy. Then the memory changed to something and it was of Angel telling Samara she loved her with all her heart, she could feel how happy it made the Justicar but how much it pained her to deny the girl's love. Samara could relive Angel's memories, the memory of her girlfriend dying in her arms, the love she experienced when she looked up at Samara from the ground after being stabbed, but she felt the pain that hurt the young girl when Samara denied her the love Angel wanted.
"Your dream…" whispered Angel as she saw move flashes of Samara's life that made tears go down her face. "…memories. Your bondmate, Morinth…" she saw Samara hugging Morinth with Falere and Rila making Angel smile softly. "…hugging your children."
"Stop please." whispered Samara making Angel break the melding and look at her. She saw tears going down Angel's cheeks once the melding broke and she ran her gloved hand across Angel's cheek to get some of the tears off.
"That was beautiful." smiled the younger asari. "She was beautiful." the she, being Samara's bondmate.
"I'm sorry for your girlfriend. I felt…"
"I know. Melding doesn't just allow me to tune in with you, it tunes both of our nervous systems." whispered the younger girl leaning into Samara's hand. "I enjoyed…melding with you."
"First time melding?" Angel nodded against Samara's hand as she held it to her cheek. "I'm sorry I caused you so much pain a year ago…"
"It's fine Samara." whispered the younger girl. "I understand I suppose. You know…we could…"
"Angel." sighed the Justicar making Angel hang her head. "Why would you want to continue to meld with me? Why would you want to relive my memories?"
"Cause I want to know about you."
"You know…"
"I want to know about you before you became what you are now." sighed the young Asari. "I know what you are now but I want to know how you were."
"You don't need to know that." the answer was sort of snapped making Angel sigh and she fell onto her back as she laid on the bed. She shifted and her legs ended up spread, she half expected to feel weight from Kasumi but none came making her seem a bit sad.
"Mm…yeah if you say so Samara." muttered the 22 year old.
"Angel you can't…"
"I can." snapped Angel. She sat up and glared at her. "I just fucking melded with you! It was my first time melding! How does that make you feel?!
"I don't believe it." answered the Justicar. "You probably melded tons of times with Aria."
"Aria refused. Told me that was to be saved for a lover, someone I care for!" she snapped going to kick the Matriarch but a hand caught her ankle as her boot was inches from Samara's face when she put it down and grabbed the girl's hips. She yanked hard making the girl slid across her mattress until the girl's crotch was firmly pressed to Samara's covered stomach. "As a Justicar your code doesn't not…"
"Don't tell me what the Code does and does not permit. You want to meld?!" She grabbed Angel's face with her hands and forced them to lock eyes. "Embrace Eternity."
Samara's eyes became coated in inky black and as did Angel's as they melded with one another. "What are you doing?!" snapped Angel as she saw flashes of Samara's live going through her head.
'You wanted to meld…we're melding.' stated Samara's voice through the meld link the two now shared.
'Not like this!' cried the young asari as she saw pain from loosing Samara's bondmate, pain from learning what her children had, fear and anger from Morinth running. She felt tears leave the corners of her eyes and slid down as she watched Samara's life before a Justicar.
Samara's life before was a sore subject to touch and Angel knew that now…she regretted asking. The Justicar blinked as she felt pain hit her chest as Angel cried under her and she broke the meld almost admittedly as she stared down at the girl who stared back up at her. These tears weren't of happiness with a touch of sadness like earlier…it was pain. Samara sat up and looked around the room because while Angel had seen her life before a Justicar, Samara had seen Angel's life on Omega. How Aria refused to meld with her telling her that only a bondmate or someone she truly cares for should have the honor of melding…even if Aria was someone she cared for she wasn't the person.
"Can you…let me move now?" asked the girl's voice making her look down and she released her making Angel push herself up into a sitting position before pushing herself back a bit, her legs resting on either side of Samara's crossed legs. "I'm sorry I asked. I won't again."
"I shouldn't have forced it."
"What I asked is a sore subject…I understand that now. I won't ask again." whispered the girl rubbing her head before tilting her head back and groaning.
"I believe you. About Aria I mean."
"You saw?"
"I saw." nodded the Justicar.
"Angel come on!" shouted Jane. "We got to go investigate that biotic school!"
"Alright!" shouted Angel before standing up off the bed and Samara followed. "I'll be back." She patted Samara's cheek before leaving the Observation Deck.
Angel watched as they got near the Grissom Academy and Jane asked Joker for a diversion against Cerberus, he gave her a big smile and a nod. She loaded her pistol as the shuttle came up to a docking entrance as Cerberus shuttles chased after the Normandy. She stepped out with Jane and Liara, she followed her sister into the academy with her pistol drawn. After this mission maybe she'd convince Jane to take her to the Citadel…Angel was in the mood for some time on the Silversun Strip. She remembered when her parents would be stationed there for a couple months or their ship was being repaired, she'd spend most of her time in the Castle Arcade but after she hit eighteen all she ever wanted to do was compete in the Armax Arsenal Arena's Combat Simulators. She just hoped it was something that Jane might be interested in cause then she'd definitely take Angel to compete in it.
"So Jane…" stated the 22 year old as they walked down the halls, looking out for Cerberus. "…ever done the combat simulator on the Citadel?"
"I always wanted to, just never got around to it. Why?" she asked looking around a corner to find some Cerberus troops outside of doors, she took care of them with two well timed shots.
"I'll ask you after you speak to Ms. Sanders." stated Angel standing outside of the room as Jane went inside to speak with Kahlee Sanders about the Grissom Academy students. Angel's Omni-tool lit up making her look down at it to see she had received an email from Aria but as she went to answer it she saw the doors at the end of the hallway unlock. She tilted her head and debated whether to go off on her own like last time although she highly doubted there would be any Banshees here since this was a human biotic academy. "Hey! Jane! I'm running ahead!"
"Angel no!…damn it!" shouted Jane as Angel was already long gone. "Takes after her mother to much."
"Moraga?" asked Liara making the Commander nod.
"She said when she was younger she was headstrong. Would run off on her own with out needing anyone else. Angel…has her moments."
Jane and Liara moved through the school shooting Cerberus troops that where trying to either kill or capture the biotic students. The Commander only got worried when she saw purple blood on the ground and she automatically knew it was Angel's since she was the only Asari in the academy aside from Liara and she wasn't bleeding. The two ran down a hallway, following the droplets of blood that lead them into a large area and instead of seeing kids fighting for their lives they saw "Jack?!" asked Jane making the woman looked, she was no longer bold and had some hair that was pulled back into a pony tail except for the sides of her head which was shaved.
"Shepard?!" asked Jack turning. She looked to see an Atlas coming through a set of doors making her sigh. "Hold that thought!" she ran to the kid that was backing up from the large robot but Jack slid across the floor and threw up a biotic shield around her and the girl to stop the missile from killing them.
"Go Jack! We got this!" shouted the Commander firing her gun at the glass.
"Kids get to the second level! This is out of your league!" ordered Jack running up the stairs behind her kids.
"Hey Jane!" shouted a voice making Jane look to see Angel up top. "I've learned I'm scared of the woman I love!"
"That's great! Tell me after!" shouted the human woman.
Jane and Liara managed to get the glass to break open on the Atlas, allowing them to kill the pilot. Jack leaped down and punched Jane across the face, snapping at her for ever trusting Cerberus which Jane just replied that she didn't trust them nor was she working with them anymore. The Commander and Shadow Broker learned that Jack was actually the kids' instructor which of course took the Commander back because of how Jack used to act a year ago but she seemed happy. Jack then motioned for Jane to follow her to the room upstairs where her kids where eating a snack before they had to try and evacuate. She walked into the room only to sigh heavily as she saw her sister sitting in a chair when she heard Jack grunt in annoyance.
"Kid I told you to put your leg up!"
"It doesn't hurt!" snapped the girl. "I can't feel anything actually."
"Cause it's numb. Leg up." ordered Jack grabbing Angel's leg and putting it up on the desk in front of the chair. "I think she fractured her foot."
"What?" asked Liara moving to Angel quickly and grabbing her foot making her cry out.
"Okay! I can feel you gripping at it!" she cried grabbing at her upper thigh like it was going to stop the pain. "Holy fuck!"
"How did this happen?" asked the Commander.
"She came running in here with some kids she saved when a Cerberus ass threw a grenade at her and she went to kick it away, which she did but her foot ended up hitting one of the pillows really hard." sighed the instructor. "I tried to get her to walk on it but it hurt to the point she was nearly in tears."
"There goes me wanting to do Combat Simulation at the Citadel." sighed the young asari.
"It's not that bad." stated Liara pushing into her foot making the girl jerk her leg trying to get it away. "Stress fracture is more like it, Angel puts all her weight on her right foot the majority of the time and her foot hitting the pillow when kicking the grenade away was just the final straw. Some Medi-gel, ice and keeping it elevated for two days should dull the pain."
"Alright." whispered the 22 year old.
Jane walked up and crouched down in front of Angel. "What's this about fearing the woman you love?"
"Samara…I love Samara but I guess…I touched a sore subject. Wanting to know about her life before a Justicar. She got angry and melded with me…forced me to see her memories." sighed Angel. "I acted like I wasn't phased by it when in reality I felt hurt but I brought it upon myself."
"Alright look we gotta go!" snapped Jack.
"Jack carry Angel!" ordered Jane.
"Yup."
Cerberus gave them hell, Angel had to shoot from her position in the biotic instructor's arms. Hell the fact they brought out another Atlas was a pain in the fucking ass considering Angel couldn't get out of the shuttle Jack ordered her to stay in with Kahlee and some of the other kids of the Grissom Academy. She had tried to get out but Jack caught her and shoved her back into the seat as Liara and Jane came running to get in, Jack however ran to save the student that lagged behind. She blew the glass open making it hit the guards and knock them down which allowed Jack to leap out and grab the girl to pull her towards the shuttle before shoving her in. Jane closed the door before locking it in place so it could fly out of the academy.
"Joker, we flew out on a Cerberus shuttle. Watch your fire." stated Commander Shepard.
"Right. Got you on sensors. Should just be a minute." he answered.
"Thank you Commander. We would've never gotten off the station if you hadn't come." stated Kahlee making Jane smile and nod.
"F-forget that. We kicked some ass. Next place we dock, you're all getting inked. My treat." smirked Jack. "What do you guys want? Ascension Project Logo? A glowing fist? Maybe a unicorn for Rodriguez?"
"Screw you, ma'am." laughed the girl that Jack had saved before escaping.
"I can't believe we got them out alive. I was going to suggest they stick to support roles. But perhaps they're ready after all." stated Sanders making Jane look at her than to Jack who shrugged…basically wanting Jane to answer if they should stick to support roles or not.
"They're definitely ready…but the Alliance needs them in Support roles." answered the Commander.
"What?!" snapped one of Jack's other kids. "We trained for Artillery strikes!"
"We don't need another artillery unit." stated Angel making everyone look at her. "We need stronger barriers for our front-line squads."
"This is bullshit!" snapped Rodriguez.
"Hey! If that's where they need us, that's where we go!" snapped Jack. "Besides, I'm sure we'll get some shots in."
"Commander, got a visual on you. Preparing to dock." stated Joker over the intercom. "Hey, Jack, now that you're in the military are you going to wear a uniform? Or are you just going to get the officer bars tattooed on?"
"Screw you, f…flight lieutenant." sighed Jack.
"Uh…what the hell was that?" asked Joker confused.
"Jack promised to watch her language in order to maintain the necessary professionalism we need from our teachers." answered Kahlee with a small smile.
They all heard Joker laugh. "Does she have a swear jar or something? 'Cause I bet if we emptied that thing, we'd could afford another cruiser."
"Cover your ears kids." ordered Jack. "Hey Joker, f-"
The shuttle docked inside of the Normandy after Jack swore at Joker, Jane had put Angel on her back and stared carrying her to the medical bay to have Chakwas look at her foot. She heard Angel groan on her back making her raise an eyebrow, Angel was a bit to big for this and it probably wasn't comfortable like it used to be when they were younger. "I can walk."
"Liara said to stay off it." muttered Jane shifting Angel making her groan in annoyance. After carrying her for about five minutes she dumped her sister on a bed in the medical bay. "I'll be back I have something I need to."
Jane walked into the Observation Deck to find Samara sitting in front of the windows meditating. "I heard your foot falls and knew it was you Shepard."
"What's this I hear about you forcing my sister to meld?" asked Jane making Samara stop glowing.
"I didn't force, she wanted to see my memories. I showed them to her."
"And you hurt her! I understand my sister can get pushy sometimes, Samara but you do not force her to see memories that pained you just so you can make her feel that pain!" snapped the Commander. "She acted like she wasn't phased by it when she left but in reality she was heart broken!"
Samara stared out the window in front of her as Shepard talked to her. "Where is Angel?"
"Medical bay."
"What?!" she asked looking back at her.
"Just a fractured foot, nothing serious." answered the Commander. "Samara…doing that sort of thing will only lead to her not loving you."
"Did you ever think that maybe I am trying to do that."
"So you'd rather her be heartbroken than be in love with you?"
"I didn't…" started Samara but she paused and narrowed her eyes in thought. She stood up and faced the Commander who crossed her arms over her armored chest with a raised brow. "…I've never had to deal with someone like your sister."
"She's a special one."
"And the universe has over a thousand years to deal with that young girl." chuckled the Justicar.
"Yes…I fear for the universe at times." chuckled Jane. "Just don't force her to meld with you again."
"I understand Commander." answered the Justicar nodding.
Angel didn't return to the Observation Deck so Samara figured she'd go see her in the medical bay. When she walked in she saw Angel's foot being elevator by pillows and the bed was bent up so Angel could rest against it while sitting up. The girl curled her toes only to flinch as pain shot through her foot making her groan and lean back into the bed. Samara went to talk over to the bed but watched as Dr. Chakwas stood up from her desk and walked over to the girl, pushing the needle she held into the girl's foot. After Chakwas gave Angel whatever was inside of the needle Samara walked up to her making Angel look at her.
"What happened?"
"Stress fracture." answered Chakwas sitting down at her desk. "Angel's to remain here for the night."
"Yay." sighed the young asari. "We're going to the fucking Citadel and I can't even do what I wanted to do!"
"Angela you can, I'll administer another shot to you before you get off. It'll numb your foot up for eight hours." answered Chakwas making Angel nod.
"What did you wish to do?" asked Samara.
"Combat simulation. Always wanted to try it but never got around to it."
"I see…" whispered the matriarch staring at Angel.
That night Samara stayed with Angel for a while even after the girl had fallen asleep on her left side, everyone was gone except for Liara and Jane who where in the kitchen area cooking something. Samara ran her fingertips across Angel's palm, staring at the young asari who only stirred a little but remained asleep. She sighed and stood up, pulling the girl's blanket up to her shoulder before kissing her temple and leaving the medical bay. She was heading towards the Observation Deck when she got the idea of trying to get Angel in love with someone else no madder how hard she'd have to try. As she neared the door she saw it hiss open by itself but she wasn't close enough for that to happen making her raise a brow (if she had one) and she caught an invisible arm.
"Miss. Goto."
"Aw damn it." sighed Kasumi during visible. She handed Samara back the panties making the Justicar actually blush as she held a pair of black lacy panties in her palm.
Samara laid down on Angel's bed, the girl allowing her to use the bed with her even if she wasn't here at the moment. She eventually fell asleep ten minutes after laying down. Around 10am Earth time Samara grunted loudly as weight sat down on her waist making her eyes snap open to see Angel hovering over her smiling and she shoved Angel off. She yelped and rolled over only for her numb foot to hit the wall making her groan loudly as tingling feeling ran through it. Samara stared at Angel who was now rubbing her own foot and she sighed heavily.
"Angel that wasn't nice!"
"Yeah. I brought this upon myself too. Damn it." sighed the girl before putting her foot down. "We're at the Citadel. I tried shaking you awake so I figured I'd straddle you. That worked at least."
"Alright thank you." she answered standing up and pulling Angel onto her feet.
On the Silversun Strip, Kasumi was watching the Combat Simulation as Angel was in there with Jack who happened to be on the Citadel at the time. The girl had a small limp to her walk and run but that was probably because she couldn't even feel her foot at the time. She looked to the side as Samara approached her with Samantha, EDI, and an Asari she didn't know. The Matriarch's pale blue eyes watched as Angel threw a grenade that had biotics swarming around it and it slammed right into a simulation, exploding on contact making the girl laugh as she jumped up and down but she stumbled making Jack steadied her. Angel and Jack fired at the simulations ranking up their points when the round finished Angel smirked as she had 3,000 points but Jack had beaten her by 500.
Jack and Angel high fived one another before leaving the simulation. "So you like her?" asked Samara to the Asari Maiden who nodded. "I know her I can…"
"Samara." snapped Kasumi making the Justicar look at her. "What are you doing? You know damn well Angel's heart belongs to someone!"
"I know this but it'll belong to someone else soon enough." answered Samara.
"You did awesome!" laughed Jack and Angel shoved her lightly. "Well you are a Shepard after all."
"True and you're a baddass biotic." smirked the young girl making Jack smile and rub Angel's head.
"Angel!" shouted Kasumi running to her. "Samara is…"
"Shepard!" shouted Samara walking to her with the asari.
"Samara?" asked the 22 year old Asari.
"This is Shiara. She has taken a liking to you and would wish to know if you would accompany her on a date this evening."
"I…what?" asked the girl seeming annoyed as she glared at Samara.
"She is better than who you had a crush on. She will give you things that woman cannot."
Samara saw how hurt Angel was by the fact Samara was trying to hook her up with someone else. She could seat her eyes getting glossy but no tears fell, she knew Angel held the back. "Fuck you Justicar." she snapped before leaving them standing there. Kasumi ran after Angel making Samara ball her hands into fists.
"I'll convince her." she whispered towards Shiara.
Kasumi convinced Angel to go to the noodle shop that the thief loved so much. While they ate their noodles Angel answered the email she got the day before from Aria. It read; 'Hey kid, I got you an additional birthday present even though it's been probably about three weeks since your birthday…I think. I lost track here on the Citadel. I hate this place, so sickeningly uptight. Anyways it's an apartment, it's pretty big too considering you're 22 and you might have a bunch of little blue babies in a few hundred years. Can always use a place to stay too when you're on the Citadel, the door is wired to your handprint. Don't ask how I got it. Let me know what you think of it. - Aria'
"Wow…" blinked Angel making Kasumi look at her with noodles hanging out of her mouth. "Aria bought me an apartment."
"Nice!" grinned the thief after sucking the noodles into her mouth.
"After you finish your monster bowl of noodles lets go check it out."
"Excuse me for liking noodles." stated Kasumi sticking her tongue out at Angel.
"I need sex."
"Done!" said Kasumi pushing it aside and Angel laughed.
Angel sent Jane an email about meeting her around 3pm Earth time at her new apartment which Jane responded with an okay. The 22 year old was shocked by the size of the apartment…why Aria would spend so much damn money on a place Angel would probably stay at once a week was beyond her knowledge. After the war she would plan to spend more time in it, the apartment had a large living room with a wrap around fireplace that went into the other room that had a TV, there was a kitchen, a dinning room, an office, about three or four bedrooms, three bedrooms with one of them having a hot tub, an area on the second floor that over looked the living rooms, and that was about it beside the bar in one of the living rooms. Kasumi was hugging Angel around the waist and kissing her neck making the girl smile. She loved Kasumi, not like she loved Samara but Kasumi was there for her and she knew how upset Angel was by what Samara tried to do. Angel looked at Kasumi who looked back making the girl yank down her hood and kiss her quickly.
"Wanna try out one of the beds?" asked Kasumi.
"Nah…" Kasumi pouted. "How about the hot tub?" Kasumi's smile reappeared and she yanked Angel with her.
Around 3 the door opened, Aria apparently put Jane's handprint in as well which…Jane didn't want to know how Aria got it. She brought Garrus, Wrex, Liara, and Samara with her but when they entered they didn't see any signs of Angel…at first. Angel walked out of the kitchen completely naked and with the nozzle from the can of whip crème in her mouth making her blue eyes widen. She pulled it out of her mouth before swallowing what was in her mouth and running up the stairs as fast as she possibly could making Garrus chuckle. He however stopped once he saw Jane glaring at him and he cleared his throat before standing up straight.
"Sorry Shepard." he stated.
"Angela!"
"What?!" shouted Angel back at her sister.
"Why are you naked?!"
"Cause I made her get naked." said Kasumi's voice from somewhere near them. "I'd show myself but I too am naked."
"Why did you get naked?" asked Liara.
"Sex." answered the thief's voice.
"Clothes!" snapped Angel throwing them at Kasumi who caught them, so all anyone saw was a pile of clothes floating off the ground. Angel walked down wearing a purple robe that Aria had left in the house.
"Nice robe." snickered Jane.
"Fuck you. Aria left it here and it…fuck you."
"I got her clothes wet Shepard, I did not wait for her to get naked before I tackled her into the hot tub." said Kasumi's voice with a hint of a giggle behind it.
"Go get dressed." sighed the girl crossing her arms over her chest.
"Yes Angel." answered the thief, probably skipping off to do as Angel ordered. "Sorry I lost track of time and why is Garrus and Wrex here? Oh and her?"
"I have a name." stated Samara.
"Yeah I know. I just refuse to use it at the moment." she snapped. "Oh and you can tell that Asari I'm not dating her."
"I already took care of her." stated Liara patting Angel's shoulder before walking by her.
"Yeah I'm sure you did." laughed the young asari. "Now…um…I shall go get dressed and…"
"I'll order some food." stated Wrex walking by and Angel nodded.
Angel was standing in her room fixing her bra when she heard movement making her look to the side. "Yes Samara?"
"Ah. You know my footfalls." stated the Justicar.
"Like you know mine and Jane's."
"Did it bother you that I tried to…"
"Hook me up with some Asari? Yeah it did especially when I don't know her and my feelings have been with you for about two or three years!" she snapped turning to her. "Look I get it Samara…you don't love me. You may never love me but please don't stop me from loving you when it makes me happy."
"How can it make you happy?" whispered the Justicar. She saw Angel scoff softly and look down at her boots. She walked over to Samara and pressed their lips together for a minute before pulling away. Samara stood there staring at her in shock.
"Because I can do things like that…just to see the look on your beautiful face." she answered before leaving the bedroom.
Angel walked down the steps into the living room to see Jane holding a box of pizza. "Aria went all out for you didn't she?" asked the Commander making her smile.
"Yeah well Aria has her caring moments." chuckled the 22 year old asari taking the box of pizza from her sister.
"She also stocked you up on alcohol." stated Liara. "Asari wine, human alcohol, and about five bottles of Noverian Rum."
"Well it's Aria."
"True." shrugged the 109 year old asari.
Jane told Angel they'd be on the Citadel for another two days while the Normandy was getting some small repairs done on the engine and they left to go back to the Normandy around 8pm earth time after the girl fell asleep on her couch. She however woke up to the sound of something falling and she stood up, her foot throbbing making her realize the medication had worn off. She limped over to the bar to find Samara behind it and she noticed an empty bottle of asari wine laying on the ground in front of Samara. She sighed heavily at the drunk Justicar who was sitting on her ass getting another bottle of wine and she walked over to her, she got herself down onto her right knee. She saw Samara look at her and smile softly before going to open the bottle of wine.
"Ah. No." said Angel taking it from the Justicar who glared at her. "Why are you drinking?"
"I want to forget the loss of my two daughters. Should've…just let me…kill myself." muttered the Justicar. "But no…you love me. So you stopped me."
"I would've stopped you even if I didn't love you Samara." sighed the girl putting the wine back and she pulled herself up, groaning as her had to apply all her weight onto her left foot instead of her right. "Now up." Samara just sat there when Angel grabbed her hand and pulled. "Come on." Samara stood up when Angel lost her balance and fell backwards with a squeak. She expected to hit the ground but felt arms wrap around her waist and pull her back up.
"I'm the…drunk one." stated Samara. "And you're falling."
"Fractured foot, Samara." she said running her finger across Samara's bottom lip to get some wine off of it. "All my weight has to go on my good food and pulling you up threw my weight off balance."
"Mm…" hummed the older Asari as Angel stood in her arms staring at her.
"As much as I enjoy this…you can let me go."
"No." was all that Samara said.
"Okay."
"You're warm. I'm cold."
"I have beds you can go into."
"I hate you." stated Samara.
"I hate you too." stated Angel making Samara narrow her eyes a bit.
"No you don't."
"No I don't." sighed the girl putting her hands on Samara's shoulders. "I don't like it when you're drunk."
"My body."
"Mm-hm." nodded the 22 year old. She ran her fingers down the side of Samara's neck when she felt herself being held closer. Samara was slightly taller than Angel so her breasts where nearly on top of Angel's. "Samara…"
"No. Shush."
"I seriously hate you when you're drunk."
"Shush." ordered Samara putting her hand over Angel's mouth making her narrow her eyes into a glare. Normally if anyone had done this to Angel, she'd bite their hand but Samara was more powerful than her so she didn't risk it. She reached up and pulled at her hand but Samara held a grip on her mouth making her groan loudly.
Pale blue eyes met bright blue eyes and Samara released her hold on Angel's mouth who seemed less than pleased. "What the fuck?"
"You wouldn't shush."
"Doesn't mean you have to smack a hand over my mouth!" snapped the young asari making Samara's head throb a bit. The alcohol was giving her a headache now.
"Goddess…shush again please."
"Fuck you." snapped Angel. "You don't get to…"
Samara shut her up but not with her hand but by pressing her lips over Angel's and holding her close. The girl gasped into her mouth which allowed the Justicar to push her tongue into the Maiden's mouth. All Angel could taste was Asari wine, goddess how she loved the feel of Samara's lips against hers and she didn't want it to stop. She knew she shouldn't be kissing her though…Samara was drunk and she didn't want them to do something they'd regret or rather Samara would regret because this right now was heaven to the maiden. She felt a hand press against her lower back and touching a spot that all asari had that made the 22 year old shudder against Samara as the two asari kissed one another.
"No! Nope!" said Angel removing her lips from Samara's. "Goddess, Samara I can't do this!"
"Why not?! You claim you love me…" she hiccupped making Angel giggle at the sound of it and press her face into Samara's neck.
"I do. I love you very much." whispered Angel as Samara held her. "I love you so much that I have to refuse doing this with you when you're drunk. I fear what would happen in the morning if we did."
"I don't care what would happen…"
"I do though."
Samara sighed heavily and pulled Angel's head out of her neck to press their foreheads together making the young girl look at her. That's when Angel grunted as she fell onto her back with Samara on top of her grabbing her shirt in her hand. The maiden looked up at the matriarch with wide eyes but the Justicar did nothing but hold onto her shirt probably not going any further when she saw the look of fear in the girl's eyes. She leaned down and kissed Angel a couple times on the lips before laying beside her and pulling her close when Angel heard the sound of even breathing. Samara was passed out beside her on the floor making the 22 year old groan before rolling onto her side and cuddling up close to the Justicar.
"I love you." she whispered before closing her eyes.
The following morning Samara groaned as her head throbbed. "Goddess…" she moaned as she grabbed at her head before looking to see Angel asleep on her stomach beside her with her arms as her pillows. She then remembered herself kissing Angel to shut her up when her head was hurting making her sit up with a look of shock on her face. "I kissed her."
"Mm-hm." hummed Angel beside her.
"You're awake?"
"Mm-hm."
"Then speak." She watched as Angel shook her head as she buried her face in her arms. "How drunk was I?"
"Pretty drunk. Found you on your ass the first time." she muttered rolling onto her back to be close to Samara. "By the way I love the way you kiss."
"It's never going to happen again."
"Yeah I figured." sighed the young asari pushing herself up to sit beside Samara on the floor. Angel grabbed onto the bar and hoisted herself up the best she could with out falling down because of her fractured foot.
"I could have stood first than helped you up." stated Samara making Angel chuckle.
"Hey Kiddo!" shouted a voice which made a big smile form on Angel's face.
"Aria!" she said running the best she could from Samara who pulled herself up. She slammed into the lavender skinned Asari who held onto her tightly and smiled.
"Enjoying the house?" asked the Queen of Omega hugging Angel.
"Yes."
"And I see the Justicar is here." said Aria hugging her tighter as if to protect her.
"She won't hurt me Aria…ack…Aria to tight!" gasped Angel as the older asari's grip tightened when she released Angel who groaned.
"Having some fun with the Justicar?"
"I wish but no." sighed the girl making Aria pout a bit. "Don't do that look. You've got Tevos."
"I…do not." strained Aria.
"Lies. I've seen the way you two interact."
"She's bothering a council member?!" asked Samara when an arm hit her stomach to stop her from going at Aria.
"Bothering as in she's probably between those luscious blue thighs of the asari councilor every other night."
"Angel stop." groaned Aria looking annoyed. "I do not fuck Tevos."
"Lies."
"Stop saying they're lies I do not…"
"Aria." sighed the girl putting her hands on her hips and leaning her weight on her left foot.
"Fuck you."
"Yes well…Kasumi does that for me." stated the 22 year old and Aria saw Samara look a bit jealous standing beside her.
"Anyways. Here." she held out a bottle of Noverian Rum. "I know there's like six bottles here already but what's another?"
"Thanks. You stay away." stated Angel to Samara backing away holding it. "This stuff will really knock you on your ass."
"Ha! The Justicar got drunk on something didn't she?!" laughed Aria.
"Asari wine…"'
"Really? Pussy." scoffed Aria making Samara glare at her. "Angel gets drunk on this stuff."
"I don't get drunk!" snapped the young asari.
"Yeah okay, passing out on my couch isn't drunk."
"That was two years ago and who kept giving me alcohol?!"
"Could've said no."
"I did!"
"Mm…I gotta go." said Aria kissing Angel's head before leaving the other two asari standing by the door.
"I must leave as well." stated Samara heading for the door.
"Whatever." was all Samara heard from the young asari.
Angel was walking around the Alliance Docks, having gotten something off the Normandy to take back to the house. It was her sketch book that she always spent a lot of time inside of when she was stressed. She sat down on a bench and sighed as her foot throbbed in pain, she not regretted not asking Chakwas to give her another shot to numb up the pain but oh well…she sure as hell wasn't walking back. She pushed herself back up and saw a raven haired beauty near the windows looking out of them and Angel automatically knew who she was mainly because she knew that ass all to well. Miranda Lawson turned as Angel approached her and the Ex-Cerberus woman gave Angel a smile.
"Hey Miranda." said Angel leaning against the railing.
"Hello Shepard. I heard the Normandy was docked here for a few days. I spoke to your sister earlier."
"And Jack?"
"What about Jack?" asked the British woman.
"Just thought you would've seen her."
"Meaning?"
"Jack's grown as a person. Hell I think she's hotter now she's got some hair even if the sides are shaved. Plus she always had a thing for your ass…no offense. Hell I like it."
"Yes I'm well aware many people like my ass." chuckled Miranda as Angel smiled at her. "How is the Asari Justicar?"
"Samara and right now I could careless."
"Really? You always seemed to love her."
"And I do Miranda it's just…since her daughter Rila died at the Ardat-Yakshi Monastery and her daughter Falere was the only remaining daughter out of her three children Samara tired to kill herself. Claiming it was the only way to save her remaining child. I stopped her but since then I've caught her drunk twice! And twice she's tried to take advantage of me! I gave it into it last night but…" she groaned loudly and tilted her head back. "…wanna come to the Silversun Strip with me?"
"I suppose." smiled the woman.
Angel lead Miranda to the Armax Arsenal Arena and to the part that over looked the Combat Simulation where Jack was with Jane fighting. The Asari looked at Miranda who was smiling as she watched the Commander and Ex-Convict firing their guns at the simulation enemies. She opened up her sketch book and went to a fresh page before taking her pencil and sketching Miranda as she watched the two women fight inside the combat simulation game. After the game Miranda helped Angel walk over to the stairs where Jane and Jack came running up laughing because they had so much fun when Jack stopped as she saw Miranda standing there. Angel stuck her tongue out playfully making Jack go to grab it and the girl put her tongue back into her mouth with a squeak making Jack chuckle.
"Well Cheerleader. What are you doing here?" asked Jack.
"Came with Angel to watch the match. I suppose you weren't terrible."
"Was that an actual compliment?" asked Jack faking a sense of shock.
"I can be nice sometimes you psycho." snapped the British woman.
"Hey, combat simulation tomorrow before Normandy takes off." ordered the ex-convict pointing at Angel who nodded.
After watching Miranda and Jack openly insult each other which she believed had a side of flirting to it, Angel went to the presidium to get some alone time. She approached the bar where she saw Matriarch Aethyta who was Liara's 'father' but Angel got along with her luckily enough. She ordered a cup of tea which the Matriarch got to getting for her as she sat her book down on the counter and opened it to flip through it as she waited. Various sketches of Jane, Liara, some of the crew on the Normandy, and some sketches of her parents laid on the pages when she stopped on a sketch of Samara which made her sigh. She had done this one a day before her birthday and it was Samara with an assault rifle in her hands and looking ready to fight something.
"Nice art babe." stated Aethyta handing the cup of smoldering tea to the Asari Maiden.
"Thanks Matriarch Aethyta." whispered Angel before blowing on the tea and taking a sip.
"So how's the sex life?" asked the Matriarch making the young girl chock on her tea at the question before banging on her own chest.
"What?" she rasped.
"That bad huh?"
"Kind of question was that?!" asked the girl horrified.
"Just curious. Haven't spoken to Liara in about a week but she's been busy…her job and all."
"Yes well…" coughed the maiden before taking another sip of her tea. "…I'll talk to her when I see her. Tell her to tell you not to ask me such questions."
"Oh come on babe!" laughed the Matriarch. "Once your sis marries my little girl we'll be family."
Angel's bright blue eyes widened. "Oh goddess."
"So…" the Matriarch motioned towards Angel wanting her to strike up a conversation.
"Seen Samara?"
"The Justicar? I did earlier but she left after twenty minutes." answered Aethyta making Angel sigh heavily. "I can talk to her you know. About your feelings for her."
"Nah it's alright Aethyta I already have Jane doing that…and I think Kasumi. That or she just glares at her for making me upset sometimes."
"Are you…"
"Hey Traynor!" shouted one of Angel's recruits Dante. "How about you fuck the Robot already!" Angel's eyes widened at what Dante had screamed and she saw Samantha's cheeks go red from the suggestion.
"DANTE!" shouted Angel making him duck as if to hide from her. "I swear…Aethyta I gotta do." She handed the woman a credit chit before walking off, still limping of course. "Samantha ignore him! He's got two hundred push ups to do!" she grabbed him by his shirt and dragged him off with an annoyed look on her face
Oh and Dante did two hundred push ups…with Kasumi sitting on his back! He complained of course but Angel said it was either Kasumi or EDI, his attitude about Kasumi being on his back changed quickly. Kasumi was walking Angel back to the apartment and the girl yawned as she rubbed her face when the two of them stopped outside the door to see Samara leaning against the wall holding something in her hands. Kasumi quickly said her goodbye and kissed Angel's cheek before running off, turning invisible as her did making the asari maiden groan as her best friend left her alone. She walked up to the door making Samara look and she stood off to the side as the girl pressed her hand against the door and it opened after reading her handprint.
"Can I help you Samara?" asked Angel tossing her sketch book on the coffee table and falling onto the couch.
"I had an interesting conversation today. In the presidium."
"Really?" asked the maiden. "With who? Aethyta?"
"No. Rain and Sasha."
"Goddess." she sighed tilting her head back when she gasped as she felt a nerve twitching in her foot. "Damn it."
"Hang on." said Samara grabbing two pillows and walking over to Angel. She lifted her leg up and put the pillows down before setting the girl's foot on it then working to take her boot off. "Keep it elevated."
"Yes mother." pouted the 22 year old. She saw Samara give her a look that pretty much read knock it off. "Sorry."
The Matriarch and Maiden sat there in silence for a while when Samara held an asari plush out to Angel. "Here."
"What's this?" asked Angel taking it from her. "An asari plush? You do realize that…"
"It's one I altered."
"Oh?" She looked back down at it and noticed it had been altered. It had Angel's facial markings on it and the Alliance symbol on the arm of the plush. "Wow. You made it me."
"Yes. I wanted it to be different than the ones your recruits got you and…"
"Thank you." whispered the 22 year old making the other woman nod. "Now what did Rain and Sasha have to say?"
"That if I continue to hurt you they will toss me out an airlock." smirked Samara making Angel bust out laughing.
"Yeah…they'd be the ones out the airlock if they tried." chuckled the maiden and she saw Samara looking at her. "You haven't hurt me Samara…"
"I told them that."
"I mean I get frustrated about…my feelings but I suppose it's normal."
"I told them that too."
"Why do you look like you've been in a fight?" asked the young asari noticing how beaten up Samara looked.
"Stopped a thief. A turian. He was strong but I was stronger."
"Oh." whined Angel pulling Samara over and taking her glove off to see a bleeding cut on the top of Samara's index finger and she put it into her mouth sucking on it softly.
"Angel, it's just a scratch." answered Samara staring at the girl who had some purple blood now smeared on her lips.
Angel pulled the finger out of her mouth and looked at Samara. "You've got some scratches on your lips."
"No." she pushed Angel down making her giggle. She felt her finger go back into Angel's mouth and she felt the soft sucking. She removed her finger and leaned over to use her thumb to get some blood off of Angel's lips making Angel look at her. "You've got blood on you."
"Mm…it's your blood though so I don't mind."
"If it makes you feel any better, If I didn't have my Code I'd…"
"Angela!" shouted a voice that made Angel sit straight up.
"Mom?" asked the young Asari.
"Mom?" asked Samara with slightly wide eyes.
Matriarch Moraga came walking to the couch looking amused by the situation, Samara was still leaning close to Angel and Angel shoved her back making the Justicar quickly get up and smooth her outfit out. "Did I interrupt?"
"Oh I wish." stated the 22 year old. "What are you doing here?"
"Ship is here for refuel, we're gonna stay the night. Your father wants to know if you wanna come to dinner."
"Where is father? She with Jane?"
"Yes, she's being introduced to Liara. I already knew Liara cause I was friends with Benezia before…well everything happened."
"I'll go if you plan on pulling me up." said the 22 year old wiggling her fingers at her 800 year old mother who chuckled and walked over to her. She grabbed her daughter's hands and hoisted her up off the couch.
"Justicar, you are welcome to come as well." stated Moraga holding Angel around the waist to keep her up.
"No/Sure." said Angel and Samara at the same time making the two look at each other.
"Angel I invited her." said Moraga putting her daughter in a headlock and the girl yelped as all her weight went onto her bad foot making her mother release her. "Sorry."
"Fine she can come. I don't care." sighed the girl.
Moraga helped Angel to the noodle house that they wanted to eat at and Angel walked to a table making her parents, sister. Liara and Samara watch. She spun around on her good foot and fell onto the seat only for everyone to hear a grunt as the girl was off the chair making Jane laugh. Kasumi appeared with her arms around Angel's waist and she kissed her cheek making Moraga smile at the sight of the other woman showing love to her daughter. Angel slid off Kasumi's lap and into the chair beside her as the two asari and two human women took their seats at the table. Kasumi grabbed a pair of chopsticks and handed one to Angel who took it and laid them down in front of her as the waitress came up.
"Shrimp ramen please. Two bowls." stated Kasumi making the waitress nod and write it down. Angel smiled as she held a straw in her mouth. "One with some chicken thrown into it."
"Oh you know me so well." smiled Angel making Kasumi grin.
Once everyone's dinner showed up Angel and Kasumi separated their chopsticks together breaking them evenly. "Why do you use chopsticks when you can use forks?" asked Jane.
"Because…" said Angel.
"I'm Japanese. I like using chopsticks." stated the thief smiling.
"So…are you two still friends with benefits?" asked Hannah.
"Yes father." answered the 22 year old before eating some noodles.
"Who taught you to eat noodles?" sighed Kasumi making Angel look at her.
"You did!"
"Mm…never mind." giggled the thief.
"How long have you two been friends?" asked Samara curious, watching the interaction between the two. She had seen it before back on the Normandy but never really bothered to ask.
"About a month after I showed up on Omega. She dared to try and steal something from Aria."
"Angel pounced me…and I mean she pounced me." chuckled the hooded woman. "I was heading downstairs when she literally pounced off the top of the stairs and rammed me to the floor. I was there to steal some alcohol from Aria on a dare."
"Not any alcohol. You where dared to take Noverian Rum! Aria's most prized alcohol, she could drink a bottle in one sitting and still be sober. Although I cannot say the same for some people when it comes to Asari wine." stated Angel looking at Samara who looked down at her bowl of ramen before eating some.
"So did I ever tell you girls that I knew Samara since she was two hundred?" stated Moraga. "I was little over Liara's age, think I was…a hundred and fourteen…I was doing Mercenary work and we where delivering something to Thessia. Of course I knew nothing of it but when there I met her at a restaurant with her bondmate who was just a friend at the time."
"Goddess not this story." sighed Hannah. She had heard it probably twenty times.
"There where some humans on the planet doing…goddess knows what and one of them didn't like how Samara was eyeing them. She had been eyeing them because they looked suspicious. One tried to punch her, her bondmate had stopped it and broke the guy's arm in half. Then a fight broke out, I helped. After they thanked me, we had lunch and kept in touch. I was even there for their bonding ceremony."
"Oh goddess." muttered Angel making them look. "Sorry was off in my own world."
"Who wants a Stolen Memory?!" asked Kasumi making Angel raise her hand.
"What?" asked Samara.
"Stolen Memory, it's a drink Kasumi made. It's got Bailey Irish Cream, Kahlua and Sake in it. With hot or iced coffee."
"And who made the JILF?" asked the thief nuzzling Angel's face.
"You need to shut up. Nobody needs to know about the drink I made a year and a half ago." snapped Angel making Kasumi smirk.
"JILF?" asked Jane when Liara nearly choked on her drink.
"JILF?! As in…"
"Ah! Ah!" shouted Angel putting hands on her head.
"Oh my god." said Hannah. "Honey is that what I…"
"Yes." said Moraga quickly with a smirk. "Angela."
"No…"
"Tell me." said the 800 year old asari leaning across the table.
"No."
"Justicar I'd like to fuck." stated Kasumi making Angel glare at her as Samara started choking on her food. Moraga hit her on the back a couple times until she stopped choking.
"I was almost twenty-one! I wasn't cleaver with the name! Aria named it not me!" cried the 22 year old. "I would've just named it Justicar or something. Embrace Eternity…see now these names come to me when I panic."
"Anyways. I'm going to go get the alcohol for Stolen Memory." smiled the thief kissing Angel's cheek.
"Get some for…my drink too." whispered Angel putting a credit chit in Kasumi's hand before the thief left.
"Don't get too drunk you have combat simulation with Jack tomorrow." stated Liara making Angel nod.
"Yes I know." sighed the young asari. "So…Samara. Will you be coming over for drinks? Again?"
"Actually I'd love to come for drinks." stated Jane.
"Fine fine…I'll make my Commander Shepard."
"Really? Now. What's in that?" asked Hannah with a smile.
"Uh…some cream, blue monin, and watermelon vodka. I thought it suited her." answered the girl before nibbling on her lower lip making Samara watch. "I have some drinks after some people. Like Samara and Jane. My others are Tali and Garrus. I'm trying to figure out a drink that's very Liara and very Aria. I get bored I experiment and now I've got an apartment with a bar to do it at."
So after dinner and getting some ramen to go, Angel wasn't sure hot more people where invited to her apartment for drinks. Samantha, EDI, Ashley Williams, Jack, and Miranda where now coming and she wasn't sure how it happened but all she knew was she had to catch up with Kasumi to get more alcohol. Kasumi was staring at alcohol when Angel approached her, leaning all her weight on her good foot when she handed Kasumi the take out bag. The thief said her thanks in Japanese as she stared at the alcohol making Angel raise a brow or rather a facial marking that looked like a brow. She noticed that Kasumi was staring at a certain type of Sake, one that she knew Kasumi didn't drink so maybe Keiji drank it when he was alive?
"So…was that his favorite?"
"Yeah. I don't like it…a big stronger than what I'm used to but he loved it." she said smiling. She felt a finger run under her eye and she saw Angel smiling at her. "Not crying."
"Yes I know. I got rid of the evidence." smiled the young asari making Kasumi laugh softly. "We need to get stuff for my Shepard drink."
"Alright in here." she said holding up the basket she was carrying.
"Somehow it's going to be EDI, Samantha, Jane, Liara, Jack, Miranda, and Ashley plus you, me and Samara." stated the asari rubbing the back of her crest. "Not entirely sure how the other four ended up being invited. Probably Jane or Liara. Oh and do keep an eye on me around Samara…she can't handle alcohol and well…"
"Yup I got it." said Kasumi kissing Angel quickly.
So the only few ones out of the group that could hold their alcohol was Jane, Jack, Liara, EDI (well she's a robot lady) and Kasumi. Angel had tried not to drink because she didn't want to get drunk but Samara, a drunk Samara, got into a drinking war with her and an hour later the young asari was drunk leaning against the Justicar. Samantha was giggling as she laid against EDI who just rubbed her head as the drunk woman slipped onto her lap and nuzzled against her while kissing her face. Miranda had sat down on Jack's lap before spinning around to face her and she grabbed the ex-convict's face saying something about how pretty Jack was but of course the woman thought it was the alcohol talking. While everyone did something Jane tensed up as she heard a crash and looked to find an enraged and drunk Samara pinning down a confused and drunk Angel in the kitchen.
"How…why are you on top?" slurred Angel a bit as Samara glared down her. "Did I s-say something ssstupid?"
"You pain in my ass!" snapped the drunk Samara.
"Mm…Kasumi!" whined Angel turning in Samara's grasp to get up when arms went around her waist and she hit the ground with the Justicar on top of her.
"Yes An…oh dear lord." stated the thief looking at the Justicar who nuzzled Angel's neck lovingly. "Alright Samara. Up off the Maiden."
"She's comfortable."
"And you're drunk. You originally hate her remember?"
"I don't…hate her." muttered Samara rolling off Angel and laying on the floor beside her.
Kasumi with the help of EDI, Liara, and Jane managed to get Angel and Samara to one of the bedrooms. Angel snuggled close into the older blue asari as she slept in her arms and her face in Samara's neck. Three hours later Angel inhaled sharply as she rolled onto her back and looked around the room to find the lights off in not only the room but the hallway, meaning everyone else was asleep or left. She pushed herself up when she felt an arm go around her waist and pull her down onto the bed, she felt lips touching the side of her face and a hand rubbing her stomach. She looked to see Samara's face was buried in her shoulder, it may have been dark in the room but she could see from what little light reached from the living room.
"Samara?" whispered the girl when she felt lips press against her own. "Are you drunk?"
"Mm…" hummed the Matriarch licking Angel's bottom lip.
"Cause I'm not going to do this if you're drunk."
"Mm…"
"Samara." sighed the 22 year old.
"What?" asked Samara's sleepy voice, maybe she didn't know what she was doing.
"Where you sleeping?"
"Yes." groaned the Justicar hooking a leg around Angel's. "Leave me alone Sonya."
"Sonya." whispered Angel looking at Samara with narrowed eyes. "I don't…"
"…like it when I drink. I know honey and I'm sorry." she muttered when Angel sat up on the bed making Samara groan at the loss of contact. Oh goddess…she thought Angel was her dead bondmate. "Where are you going? The kids up?" Angel looked back at her with tears in her eyes as Samara had now put an arm over her eyes.
"Yeah…they're up." she whispered as tears slid down her cheeks. "You stay in bed, I'll go make them breakfast."
"Mm…" hummed the Matriarch as the Maiden stood up off the bed.
"Kasumi!" shouted Angel once entering the hallway. She looked down into the living room to see EDI wide away, she's a robot so yeah…she's awake, with a sleeping Samantha on her chest, a passed out Ashley on the other end of the couch and tons of alcohol laying around. "EDI where's Kasumi?"
"I think she's near the bar, I'm not sure." she answered. "I've been stuck here with Miss. Traynor fast asleep on me for the past hour."
"Jane? Liara?" asked the Maiden walking down the stairs.
"Shepard took Liara to bed after you where put in bed with Samara. They're in the upstairs bedroom while Jack and Miranda are in the downstairs bedroom."
"Sup Shepard." said a voice and a hand smacked against her ass making her yelp as Jack walked by very, very naked.
"Having fun Jack?"
"Fuck yeah. I never knew Miranda was so…" she grinned before looking at Angel. "…she's not so much of a bitch as I thought she was. Her mouth is extremely skilled."
"Excuse me while I go find Kasumi." nodded the young asari walking into the other living room that had a large TV in it. "Kasumi!" She walked around the room until she tripped over something invisible making her grunt loudly as she slammed onto the ground and Kasumi shot up appearing.
"What happened?" asked the thief. "Angel? I thought I put you in bed?"
"Walk me to Purgatory." sighed the 22 year old. "Samara woke up talking and touching me…she thinks I'm her bondmate."
The thief nodded and stood up off the ground. "Let me use the bathroom and we'll go." she added with a smile.
Angel walked back into the bedroom to find Samara with her arm dangling off the bed and a pillow under her head making her sigh heavily. She grabbed her locket off the nightstand and put it around her neck before grabbing her sketch book and ripping a piece of paper out which she ripped in half. She crouched by Samara's night stand and wrote a note down before leaving it there with a glass of water and a bottle of pain kills then leaving the room to go drop off Jane's note. Angel stuck her tongue out of the corner of her mouth as she used tape to hold the note to Jane's forehead before giggling and running out of the room as Jane stirred and held Liara closer to her body. Kasumi was talking with EDI as she waited for Angel who opened her fridge and pulled a bottle of soda out, using her thumb to pop the cap off and walking to the thief.
"EDI, only tell Jane and Liara where I went. I'm going to Purgatory until I gotta do combat simulation with Jack tomorrow. Ask Jane to pack my things and bring it to the Normandy before watching the match." stated Angel.
"Understood Shepard." nodded the robot lady with a smile on her face.
"And keep Sam warm."
"I…understand." chuckled EDI.
Kasumi walked Angel to the elevator and they road it to floor 4 quietly as Angel hummed to herself. She knew her best friend/friend with benefits was sad about what happened but the young asari wouldn't admit it. Once the elevator stopped the thief had told Angel she'd go into the club with her but Angel said it was alright because she just needed someone to walk and ride the elevator with her, the rest of the way she could do by herself. Kasumi kissed her forehead before hitting the floor to go back to the apartment and the elevator doors closed making the girl sigh and head for the entrance into the nightclub Purgatory. She walked up the first set of stairs and made a right turn towards the couch where Aria was sitting with a glass of whiskey in her hand when the lavender skinned asari looked as she felt weight rest on her lap only to see Angel laying there with her eyes closed.
"What's wrong with your apartment?"
"Samara thinks I'm Sonya…"
"What?" hissed Aria. "That bitch!"
"She's drunk or buzzing or…I don't even know." muttered the girl before she felt Aria rub her arm. "I'm gonna sleep here if that's okay."
"It's fine." answered the Queen of Omega. "I'm used to it remember? You did it numerous times back at Afterlife." She saw a smile appear on the girl's face.
About maybe six hours later Samara groaned and sat up to find herself in one of the beds that belonged in Angel's new apartment and she kicked the blankets off. She sat up and saw the note on the nightstand with the water and pills but before reading it she figured she's take a couple pain killers to kill the headache she just woke up with. She drank a sip of water to wash the dry pills down before grabbing the note and looking at it to notice it was from Angel. 'Dear Samara, I know I'm not here when you woke up. Doesn't matter where I am but just so you know my name is Angel…not Sonya.'. Samara's pale blue eyes widened in shock at the last six words in the letter, oh goddess she remembered talking to Sonya in the middle of the night but obviously it wasn't her! She stood up off the bed and swayed a bit before groaning as her head hurt.
"That's enough drinking for me." sighed the Justicar.
She left the bedroom to find Kasumi in the kitchen eating a bowl of ramen and Jane talking to Liara about something with Angel's bag beside her. Obviously Angel left Jane a message too but she wondered where Angel would be on the Citadel that was safe for her to be alone. That's when it hit her…there was only ONE place no one would mess with Angel if she was with out her sister or Liara. She told Jane and Liara she'd meet them at the combat simulation making Kasumi look up with noodles hanging out of her mouth before sucking them into and chewing them as she wondered where Samara was going. She was tempted to follow her but her ramen was more tempting than following a Justicar's blue ass everywhere.
Angel groaned and stretched across Aria's lap making the asari look down at her as the little maiden was waking up. "Wakey wakey."
"Do you ever sleep?"
"I slept for a few hours before you came down." answered Matriarch making Angel roll onto her back and look up at Aria who smiled. "I have sent for some breakfast for you all wrapped up in a hot dog bun."
"You are disgusting." stated Angel.
"And you love it." smirked the lavender asari.
"No. Tevos loves it."
"Fuck off."
"Nope." answered Angel sitting up as one of Aria's lackeys came in with a plate for her. Aria was right, it was eggs, sausage, cut up pancakes, and bacon wrapped up in a hot dog bun and there was about five of them for her. "Wow…okay thanks."
"Shut up and eat." ordered Aria handing Angel a glass of whiskey.
"Eh. Drank to much last night. Can you send him to get me some soda instead?" she asked pushing on the cup.
"You heard the maiden! Get her some damn soda!" ordered Aria making him run off and Angel chuckle. "Eat." Angel took a bite out of her breakfast in a bun and chewed. "Well?"
"Wow. That's actually pretty good."
"Yes I know." smirked the older Asari making the young one roll her eyes with a smile.
As Angel pushed the last of the bun into her mouth from her second one she heard shouting and looked as Samara came walking into the club. She chewed her food as Aria crossed her legs watching the Justicar who looked over and noticed them. Samara walked down the steps to the couch and stopped in front of them as Angel bit into her third breakfast in a bun…thing. "I knew you'd be here." stated the Justicar putting her arms behind her back.
"Mm…" hummed Angel chewing her food.
"This is the only place you can be with out your sister or Liara and not be attacked because Aria is here."
"Damn straight." answered Aria before taking a sip of her whiskey. "I hate this shit. Someone get me Noverian Rum!" Angel set her plate aside to go do so but Aria yanked her back down. "I said eat not do what I asked my lackeys to do."
"Sorry Aria."
"What did I say last night?" asked Samara.
"You mean besides calling this lovely your dead bondmate?" asked the Queen of Omega.
"Don't you have Omega to take back?" stated Samara.
"I'm waiting for the right opportunity." snarled the Matriarch.
"Samara leave Aria alone. She's only frustrated with the fact I came down here at like two in the morning earth time and fell asleep on her lap." sighed the young asari. "You called me Sonya, said you where sorry you drank, and asked if the kids where up which I plainly said yes to and that I'd go make them breakfast."
"Oh."
"Oh?! That's all you're going to say?!" snapped Aria. "OH?!"
"Aria." muttered Angel. "I'll get Tevos."
"And what? I'll bend her over her desk and fuck her till she walks with a limp."
"I believe it." sighed the young Shepard. She finished up her food and handed the plate to Aria. "I gotta go."
"K. Stop by again just…lets hope you're not falling asleep on my lap again."
"Yup." nodded Angel walking up the stairs and heading for the exit.
"Angel I'm sorry for…" started Samara but Angel stopped and looked at her. The girl opened her mouth to say something but just shut it and sighed before walking out of the club. She wasn't in any mood to talk to Samara.
The Justicar followed her however and in the elevator Angel was looking at her foot which hurt a bit but not as bad as the day before. She sighed making Samara look at her worried but saw Angel glare at her making her look away. "Lets just forget everything happened shall we?" asked the 22 year old. "Sure what happened hurt me like a bitch but…"
"I had no control in what I said."
"I understand that Samara so lets forget what happened before I decided I want to punch you and end up getting my ass handed to me!" she snapped making Samara nod.
Angel was waiting beside Jack who was punching in what they wanted to do and Angel was muttering to herself. Jack handed Angel an assault rifle before the two headed for the elevator to go into the simulation room. The elevator opened in the Brimstone level making Jack blow some hair out of her face and she looked at Angel with a cocky smile who just smiled back. The two walked out into the area when the timer counted down to their match and enemies came at them making the two women fire when Angel felt something sharp graze her side and looked down to see purple blood leaving a cut on her side. Wait a second…these where virtual enemies they weren't suppose to actually hut them.
"Jack!" shouted Angel running at her and tackling her down behind cover making the woman shout as she was grabbed. "Did you do something that makes them hurt us?"
"No. Why?"
"Well I'm bleeding for one!" she snapped throwing a grenade over the wall at the enemies.
"What?" she asked looking at her side. "Well shit."
"Yup and…oh are you fucking kidding me?" she asked looking at the enemies. "Cover me."
"Yup." answered Jack firing her gun at the enemies.
"Hello?" asked Aria.
"I officially hate your Eclipse."
"What?" asked the woman confused.
"Yeah in combat simulation and guess what! The enemies are not simulations! They're Eclipse!" she snapped as a grenade landed in front of her. She let out a small scream and threw up a biotic barrier around her and Jack when it exploded.
"Goddess! Give me a minute!" snapped the Queen of Omega.
"Give her a minute." scoffed Angel.
"Um…why isn't Angel fighting?" asked Liara when they heard running and Jane yanked Liara out of the way as Aria leaped and smashed through the glass. "Oh."
"Damn it! They're not simulations!" stated Jane running from Liara. "Why else would Aria be smashing into the simulation room?!"
Aria threw a biotic blast to knock them back. "Gonna fucking kill Jona later!" snapped Aria. "Shepard lets her out and what does she do?"
"Hey Aria how about we…" Angel went to run around a corner when she smacked into an Eclipse sister. "…oh fuck." The asari in front of her smirked as she rose her fist, her biotics flaring around her fist. She went to hit the young asari when she was sent flying away from Angel making her look back at Aria and Jack who shrugged when Angel felt arms go around her waist and she screamed.
"Stop. Stop!" snapped Samara dragging Angel back behind cover.
"Samara?"
"Stay." she said standing up and throwing a strong biotic blast that sent the Eclipse sisters flying backwards. "Come on!" she threw Angel over her shoulder making the girl squeak.
"I'll handle everything! I guess!" snapped Aria shooting the Eclipse sisters and killing them. "Look! Handled!"
"Uh-huh." nodded Angel as Samara carried Angel out of the combat simulation arena.
Samara sat Angel down in the locker room making the girl grunt as her ass connected with the seat. "Okay…thanks Samara. I could've gotten myself out of there."
"Mm…"
"Samara?" asked the girl as Samara bent down and ran her gloved fingers across the scratch to see purple blood on her finger tips. She pulled some medi-gel out and ran it across the girl's cut to make it stop bleeding. "Alright thanks."
"Figures Aria would come to your rescue." whispered the Justicar.
"Samara, Aria's just my friend. She likes the Councilor remember."
"I do not! Stop saying that!" snapped Aria walking by.
"Says the woman who fucks the Councilor at least twelve times a week." muttered the 22 year old asari. "Plus it's not like you where coming to my rescue."
"I just did. That Eclipse sister would've hurt you and I protected you." stated the Justicar.
"Well that was interesting." smiled Jack sitting beside Angel as Samara stood up. "Next time lets do an actual simulation."
"K Angel! Get your butt on the ship we've got a Genophage to stop. Mordin completed a way to stop it."
"Yup." yawned Angel pulling herself up and she started walking to the ship. "Come on Samara! Lets go meditate!"
"That girl can't stay mad long can she?" asked Samara to Jane.
"Not sure. She might still be mad, she's just hiding it." stated the Commander. "Come on Samara, we gotta go." Samara nodded and followed the Commander back to the Normandy to go cure the Genophage.
TBC…
This is between 36-37 pages long. Jack walking around naked seems…very Jack like lol. Also I know Samara being drunk isn't what she'd do but I figured she was the type that couldn't handle her alcohol since I doubt she drinks much. Anyways, next chapter will feature the Genophage, Mordin sacrificing himself to save the Krogan race (;-; one of saddest moments besides for me besides the fall of Thessia later on in the game), Angel saying what she wants if she survives the Reaper war (which she AND Jane will just…you'll see when we get there lol), and…whatever else I decide to throw into this story.
K I got some stuff to do before I start working on the beginning of Chapter 3 and my other fanfics I need to update so I hope you all liked :3
