Before the Normandy's Leave.
Saren's POV
"Don't even think about it my Moonheart" Rue interrupted me.
"What? I only going to say my goodbyes, Little Wolf"
"Bullshit mate you were going to try and find a way not to leave" my feisty she-wolf corrected.
I couldn't hold back a chuckle at her. I then placed my forehead against hers and caressed her cheek with my right hand.
"I will see you soon" I promised her.
"I'll be here waiting for your return my Moonheart, now give those Collector bastards hell"
"Oh I plan on it Little Wolf"
Not caring who was around I gave my mate a kiss and someone nearby wolf-whistled and I'm pretty sure Rue shot them the bird.
Later.
Leena's POV
"Hey, Samara you wanted to see me?"
The Justicar was with the Commander along with Saren and Garrus. Cypher was lounging on Saren's shoulder. The little guy had to part ways with Liara so he was a little down in the dumps.
"Yes," the older Asari replied. "As I was just explaining to the gentlemen, when we met on Illium I mentioned there was someone I was looking for and thanks to Shepard's information I know where she is, she's been going by the name "Morinth", I would like to apprehend her before she disappears again"
"She's the Ardat-Yakshi you've been hunting," I said.
"Indeed, your wife is a good observer, Garrus"
Garrus chuckled and shot me a proud look.
"I think you're holding something back" Saren stated. His arms were folded across his chest. "What does this Morinth mean to you, Justicar?"
"She is my daughter"
"Holy shit!" I exclaimed. "Sorry Samara for the yelling but I haven't been expecting that"
"No need to apologize, despite being my daughter Morinth is a very dangerous woman who kills without mercy, she suffers a rare genetic disorder, when she takes a mate there is no gentle melding of nervous systems" the Justicar began. "She overpowers yours, burns it out, hemorrhages your brain, you end up a mindless shell, and soon after you are dead"
"That's f**ked up" Cypher growled.
"Hmmm I think I know where this is going"
I now had everyone's attention.
"Someone needs to get her attention and then you come and make the kill"
"Indeed though deciding who should be the seducer is still being decided" Samara added.
"I volunteer as tribute" I offered.
"Absolutely not!" Saren and Garrus voiced in unison.
"I don't like the idea either" Shepard agreed.
"Okay first of all I can take care of myself gentlemen," I told the three men. "Second of all, Saren and Garrus would easily be recognized as a Spectre and Archangel"
"Damn it you have a point" Garrus growled.
"Thirdly, the Commander could be recognized as well, me on the other hand not so much"
"Fine but we aren't going to stand around and let you be alone" Saren interjected. "We can wait on the sidelines"
"Morinth is on Omega in Afterlife, perhaps Aria might know where she is" Shepard explained. "We should be arriving there shortly"
"Leena I appreciate you doing this" Samara told me.
"You are a part of this team Samara and to be honest when we met on Illium you scared the crap out of me"
"Oh? Well I apologize if I intimidated you"
I gave the Justicar a smirk before leaving the group and went back to my room. If I was going to get Morinth's attention I needed to dress the part. Just as I took my clothes off Garrus walked into our quarters.
"I wish you weren't doing this, my love"
"Babe I know but this Asari has been killing innocent people for her own selfish needs, besides as Saren pointed out you'll be on the sidelines"
"Yes I know" my husband responded.
I felt the turian eying me as I put the same black dress with the purple edges onto my body. I then pulled on black boots and pulled my hair loose.
"Spirits, if we weren't about to do a mission, I would tear that dress off of you my Nightshade"
I gave my husband a look.
"You really need to get your mind out of the gutter babe"
Garrus snorted before taking my engagement and wedding band from me. He would hold onto them while I was playing the seductress. Sometime later we arrived on Omega and as promised the men and Samara made themselves scarce before I got off of the ship. Cypher was still with Saren.
I dealt with some cat-callers while on my way to Afterlife but I ignored those idiots. Once in Afterlife, I made my way up to where Aria usually lounged. However, I kept my distance because I didn't want to approach Omega's ruler without her consent.
"I remember you, your that Metal Dragon's companion right?" Aria asked.
"You have a good memory, I was wondering if I could borrow a moment of your time"
"Sure, take a seat"
I thanked her before sitting down on the couch opposite of her.
"Now what can I do for you? I never got your name"
"Leena, I'm looking for an Asari fugitive hiding out here, an Ardat-Yakshi"
"I knew it, nothing leaves a body quite so empty as an Ardat-Yakshi does, her last victim was a young girl, pretty thing who lived in the tenements near here, that's where I'd start looking"
"Thank you for your time"
I got up and before I left Aria said.
"Hope you find her, Ardat-Yakshi are not good for my business, good luck shifter"
She shot me a smirk and I returned it before taking my leave.
Lol Saren and Garrus being protective is hilarious.
