I took a deep breath as the doors to the flux opened, inside it looked like any other club back in my time, with the exception of the abundant number of aliens participating in the dancing. My left hand was stuffed inside of my pocket, preventing anyone from seeing that it was a prosthetic. At the bar, I saw Michael and Shepard. I grasped my left arm, and took a few deep breaths. The doctors said it was a mild effect of PTSD, and that it would pass eventually. I didn't believe them, and it made me going up to the two even harder. Once I started walking towards Michael, I felt a hand grab my shoulder. I turned around quickly, but nothing was there.

"What in the world?" I looked around for anyone that looked suspicious. Near the door that led back into the wards I thought I saw a familiar woman with dark hair walking out. She was wearing a dark green V-neck along with brown pants, clothing I hadn't seen anyone else wear in this time period, "Wait!" I shouted as I jumped down the stairs and ran after her. Shepard and Michael would have to wait, because finding out who that woman is was more important.

I reached the door and looked into the crowd of people, I saw her walking towards the elevator. Not wanting to lose her, I ran through the crowd, pushing people out of the way so that I could reach her in time. I watched her enter the elevator, and turn around. When I saw her eyes, I knew that it was her, "Jane!" I shouted as the elevator doors closed in front of me. I wasn't able to stop myself in time, and crashed into the door. I could feel the stares of the people around me as I got up and pressed the call elevator button, "I can't believe this, how is she... no, why is she here is the better question."

When the elevator arrived, I pressed the recall button to send it to the floor it was previously at. To my great displeasure, this elevator was about as fast as the one on the Normandy. When the doors opened I nearly ran out, but I knew I had to contain myself, so I controlled my movements and walked out, looking side to side. Over on the balcony was the woman I swore was Jane. I started towards her, but before I could reach out and grab her I felt someone grab my shoulder again. When I turned around this time, I didn't expect to see Michael standing behind me, "Who are you?" The man's hair was long and unkempt, making it look like he never cut or brushed it. And the smile he had on his face was one full of malice, as if he thought that he was cheated out of something and he was about to get it back.

"You don't recognize me? Easily understood since that impostor changed his face," he told me just before I felt a sharp pain on the side of my neck, "So predictable, you followed the bait like it was catnip."

I grabbed my neck as my vision began to blur, "What's... going on?" I flicked out my hand releasing the blade as I turned around only to see Jane standing with an empty syringe in her hand. The blade stopped just before it hit her throat, and I backed away from her, "Why?" I asked before blackness enveloped me.


When my consciousness came back, I tried to jerk up, but I was strapped into a chair that kept me facing two large screens, "Where am I!?" I shouted just before a wave of dizziness hit me. It felt like I hadn't eaten in a few days, which I knew wasn't true. Whoever it was that captured me, it seems like he planned this out. I turned my head as best I could, but the strap around it kept me looking forward at the two screens in front of me.

"You are in my home," the man answered, there was something familiar about his voice that I couldn't figure out, "ah, where is my hospitality, you must be hungry, after all, I did drain your body of all nutrients before you woke up."

That's why I felt dizzy just from shouting, he was trying to starve me, but I couldn't figure out why. There was no way he was doing this just for laughs. I tried to move my prosthetic arm, but when I didn't feel an pulling on my shoulder I realized he had already taken it off, "Why are you doing this?"

"Simple, someone like you can easily get close to the imposter that stole my life away from me," he talked as if I should know what he was talking about, "ah, but you probably don't understand any of this, I don't expect you too. All I need you to know is who. He is the person you know as Michael."

I didn't respond to him, because as far as I knew Michael was from the past like me. For him to replace someone wouldn't be so far fetched, but how would this guy know about me.

"You must wonder, 'Why me?" he said as if knowing where my thoughts were going, "Because he seems to have taken a deep interest in you."

I closed my eyes and tried to focus my biotics into my right arm. When the energy was moving through my body, it felt like my stomach was about to collapse and I stopped. I opened my mouth as if to vomit, but nothing came out of me.

"You can't use biotics if you are starved," the man jumped in front of me and looked me in the eyes, "one of the things I learned from testing asari on their limits."

"What did you do with Jane?"

"Oh, you mean the android I made to look like your girlfriend from a few centuries ago? She served her purpose and I'm dismantling her," he told me as he smiled, "but I wouldn't be worried about it. You see, what I'm going to do to you is much, much worse."

I wanted to kill this person, never before had I felt like this. This man had given me false hope that I could see Jane again, and he wanted to do untold things to me. If it was the last thing I did, I was going to kill this man. No, killing was too nice, I was going to make him suffer, "I will kill you," I growled in a low voice as I focused all of my energy on achieving one task, breaking my restraints.

"What was that?" he asked as he leaned forward and put his ear towards me, "I didn't hear you."

I felt my body move forward as it phased through my restraints and I lunged at the man who held me captive. I could feel my body become solid again as I reached out for him, but instead of grabbing onto his clothing, I passed right through him.

I heard him chuckling as I turned around to look at him, "It seems I was correct in only appearing to you now as a hologram, humans are so interesting. Even without anything in your body to fuel you, you still were able to use biotics. Not only that, you used the advanced skill phasing, instead of just breaking the restraints like I anticipated."

"I'm always full of surprises it seems," Kyon said as he looked at his own hand, "you will regret pissing me off, I guarantee that."

"I would take you seriously if you weren't about to collapse from malnutrition," he told me as the hologram disappeared.

I tried to stand up, and true to his word I fell immediately to the ground, "Damn him, I'm going to kill him, I don't care what it takes."
