Turian Stand off
It's not often one can have a calm conversation with a mercenary. Not when you have a pistol in their face because they have a shotgun in yours.
"How have you been Wrex? It's been a while." Garrus asked his old comrade. To take a page out of Wrex's book, he might like Wrex but that wouldn't stop him from killing the Krogan.
"Business has been on and off. I hear you're a Spectre now."
"They needed someone to take over for Shepard while she recovered."
"Hm. How's she and Blue doing these days?" Wrex asked as he shifted ever so slightly to the left. There were some crates over there. Maybe he could knock them over onto Garrus. He really didn't want to have to kill Garrus just because the Spectre had happened upon him while he was working. It was a simple delivery mission moving some illegal arms and mods from point A, the space station they were on now, to some planet near the Terminus System border.
"Shepard is back on her feet. Liara is teaching at the university. Prothean archeology naturally."
"Naturally."
"How's Aleena?"
Wrex just sent Garrus a hard stare that would have sent most creatures running for their very lives.
"How's Tali?"
Garrus stiffened and glared back at Wrex. "Fair enough. Why are you here Wrex?"
"That's my business, Spectre."
"I guess I'd rather not know. How would you like to walk away from your second standoff with a Spectre?"
"You saying I wouldn't walk away from this?" Wrex asked arching his eyebrow. Garrus had more definitely learned something from being in the world outside the Citadel. The Turian almost had as many balls as he did.
"We could always find out. Never know, it could be fun." Garrus said flashing a sly toothy grin. Then he got serious again. "You've worked with a Spectre before so you know the perks. You can do all the unchecked wonton destruction you want. And you already know we make a great combat team."
"I thought Spectres worked alone."
"Did Shepard?"
"Why me? You obviously didn't come here looking for me. You were just as surprised to see me as I was to see you."
"I tend to do missions that lean in a direction you'd like."
"And that is?"
"Shoot first, ask questions later."
Wrex couldn't help but grin. Shooting always perked his interest and lately he hadn't been doing too much of that.
"I've taken partners from time to time. They normally don't stay alive very long. I figured you might survive a few days." Garrus said offhandedly.
"So what are we killing here?" Wrex said lowering his shotgun.
Garrus lowered his pistol. "The head of a crime ring is supposed to be on station. I was thinking of just assassinating him quietly." Garrus trailed off and smiled at the look of distaste that showed up on Wrex's face. "But if you want we could always redecorate the place."
Wrex couldn't help but smile. It would be nice to have a partner he knew could keep up with him and wouldn't die so easily. "If you live through this I'll consider your offer. I'm getting tired of being a delivery boy."
"If you live through this we can talk terms. It's not a full time job. Just for cases like this when I could use a helping hand." Garrus said putting away his pistol and taking out his shotgun.
Wrex nodded approvingly at Garrus's choice of weapon. "Bet you a lap dance at Chora's Den that I kill more guys then you."
"You're on."
A/N: I like the idea of Garrus and Wrex still working together after saving the galaxy and so I made it so. And it was good. How could it not be? They make one hell of a combat team and if you go renegade with Garrus I can see the two getting along famously. Garrus would become a Spectre willing to do whatever it took and that usually means killing everything that moves. Wrex loves that kind of work. Enough said. Besides, I needed another male character for Garrus to talk to. I always kill off Kaiden, and Shepard is female in this verse. Plus I can do fun things like above.
