Here is another chapter guys, please keep the reviews coming!

Ethan's POV

Ethan felt as his eyes shot open, the darkness gone as light flooded into his line of vision. Everything seemed blurry as he brought a hand to his head, a big headache rocking his system as he steadied himself and took in a long and steady breath. He noticed he was in white sterile clothes, a pair of sweat pants and a plain white shirt.

"You'll be drowsy for a bit, that's the drugs wearing off." came a soft and gentle female voice as Ethan looked over and noticed a older woman standing there with a holographic chart in her hands.

"Who are you? Where am I?" Ethan asked as he scooted away slightly, a feeling of uneasiness rising up inside him.

"I am Dr. Chakwas, the head doctor aboard the SV Normandy. It's a pleasure to meet you Ethan Morgan." Chakwas said with a warm smile as she put the chart down and reached for a medical device on a counter beside Ethan's bed.

"What are you doing? What's the Normandy? How do you know my name?" Ethan asked, still uneasy as he watched the woman grab a small cylinder like object before raising it to his forehead. He lurched back slightly when a light popped out of it and began to scan his face.

"Temperature looks like its stabilizing and as do your brain synapses." Chakwas said as she marked that down into her chart before taking another look at Ethan. That's when Ethan looked down at his hand and noticed a green color glowing throughout his veins, it was faint, but it was definitely there. Ethan noticed the color traveled up the vein system of his arms and then his legs as well, only to life up his shirt to see the color in his stomach and chest too.

"What's wrong with me!?" Ethan exclaimed, afraid of the glowing color inside him as he looked over at a mirror inside the room, noticing his eyes and face also had the same thing in them with his eyes glowing a bright fluorescent green inside.

"All your questions will be answered here shortly Mr. Morgan, I assure you." Chakwas said before both of them turned their heads as if on cue to the sound of the door opening to the Med-Bay.

"Ah Commander, just in time." Chakwas said as she returned to her desk, Ethan noticing a tall and attractive man walking in alongside a older woman with a gown draping around her body and short brown hair that draped just above her green eyes. He noticed that everyone else in the room had the same color glowing faintly in their veins and eyes.

"I see the patient is alive and well, nice work Dr." the woman said as she smiled over at Ethan and made her way over to him, her heels clicking against the tile of the Med-Bay floor.

"Mr. Morgan, my name is Miranda Obelski. I am the Human Councilor aboard the Citadel, I have come to see your Identification Process goes as planned." Obelski said as she extended a hand of welcome to Ethan who just continued to stare at her like she was nuts while Commander Shepard stepped in beside her.

"How about I do the talking here. Ethan, my name is John Shepard, I am the Commander of this ship. I believe some explaining is in order. Just take a steady breath okay?" Shepard said as Ethan watched him pull a chair over to sit in as he looked over at Ethan who was clearly afraid.

"Why am I glowing? Where am I? What happen!?" Ethan said, the fear inside him beginning to grow evident as he watched both Shepard and Obelski look at each other before looking back at him.

"Ethan, you came into our universe by some portal of some sorts. It seems to have been a portal linking our two universes together somehow. Except in this universe, it's the two hundred years in the future. Your aboard a interstellar ship named the Normandy. You sustained severe injuries to your body when you came through and no matter what we did, we couldn't save your old body. You were medically dead for a month while we kept your old body preserved long enough so we could take your mind and place it into a new body, one of which was cloned from tissue samples from your old body. You were cloned with a cross of the DNA of your old body, which is why you still look like you, but also with samples of a new DNA. That's why your blood, tissues, and muscles all exhibit the chemiluminescence within them." Shepard said, Ethan taking a moment for everything to sink in before he looked back up at Shepard and Obelski.

"My family, what about my family. I've got to get back to them! I've got to get back to my family!" Ethan said frantically as the memories of the spell Rory had cast came flooding back in with painful vividness.

"Mr. Morgan, if I may interject...I've had some of the Citadel's best minds at work on this...and there just isn't anyway to send you back to your world. There are no trace amounts of the portal...it's completely disappeared. I'm...truly sorry Mr. Morgan." Obelski said with a sad look upon her face, Ethan looking at them both as tears welled up inside his eyes.

"I'll never..see my family again? What about my little sister, my mom and dad?" Ethan asked as Obelski looked away, clearly unable to give Ethan the answer he had wanted. Ethan looked away from everyone as he began to cry. Obelski moved to step forward only for Shepard to stop her as he shook his head and directed her towards the door to the Med-Bay.

"Let's give him some time to digest all of this." Shepard said as he walked out of the room, leaving Dr. Chakwas there to accompany Ethan.

A Couple of Hours Later

Shepard's POV

Commander Shepard moved through the Crew Deck before coming to the door of the Observatory Room. Chakwas had told him she had led Ethan there to have some time to himself, letting him calm down from the high of all the panic, fear, and profound confusion. Shepard moved forward as the door opened automatically, looking around only to see Ethan sitting in chair, looking out towards the stars and galaxies.

"I came to see how your doing...how you holding up?" Shepard asked, stepping forward as the door closed behind him with a mechanical chirp. He stood there, watching as Ethan held his back to him and continued to stare out of the window.

"I don't know what to feel...I'm just kind of numb. Do I feel angry with the person who did this to me, do I feel sorrow for leaving my family behind, do I feel scared of being thrust into a time I know nothing about? So you tell me Commander, what should I be feeling at this moment. I don't even have my old body anymore, let alone any knowledge of how this happened and how I'm even still alive." Ethan said in a monotone voice, watching as a nearby star began to rise over the planet that Chakwas had called Sur-Kesh.

"I can't exactly say I know what your feeling, but I do know somewhat of the feeling your experiencing. The feeling of being in complete disarray. Thinking that out of all the people in the universe, why did this, whatever this is, happen to me." Shepard answered as he looked out over Sur-Kesh and it's oceans. That's when he noticed Ethan was now staring at him, the soft green glow of his eyes illuminating tear heavy eyes.

"What am I suppose to do now? Where am I suppose to go? What do I do to try and pick up the shattered pieces of a life I no longer have?" Ethan asked, a few more tears rolling down his cheeks as Shepard felt a pang of pain inside his chest at seeing the smaller of the two break down mentally and emotionally.

"I...I can't really say. I've never been faced with this kind of situation before...I've fought wars and saved the lives of innocents...but this...I've never been faced with something like this." Shepard answered honestly, watching as Ethan turned his face to continue staring out the window at the nearby Salarian home-world. Shepard walked over as he knelt down and placed a hand on Ethan's shoulder, looking at him sympathetically.

"I know there isn't much I can say...but take comfort in the fact that your in a period of intergalactic peace. There is some many people, so many species, so many kind hearts out there willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need, including myself." Shepard said before he felt himself suddenly caught off guard as Ethan turned around and began to cry into his shoulder, realizing he was the only one who could truly understand how Ethan felt somewhat. Shepard positioned himself to where he was letting Ethan cry onto his shoulder, patting the twenty year old's back softly as the light from the star Pranas shined in on them.

Jane's POV

Jane Morgan walked into the Planetary Observatory with her teacher at her side, smiling as she saw a huge representation of the Solar System come into view. She looked around at the replica's of space shuttles and satellites.

"Alright class, today we get the privilege of touring the Observatory with the aid of a fellow astronomer himself. Everyone will be breaking up into the buddy system, do not let your buddy at any time during the tour." the teacher said as Jane watched her pair of students together before walking back and joining Jane at her side. "You can be my partner if you'd like Jane." the teacher said with a smile as Jane shook her head happily before taking the teachers hand and smiling as they began their tour, Ethan's book in her bag and his bear in her other hand.
