"Mother! No! Fight it…try…Please!" Liara said desperately as her mother had just broken out of indoctrination.
"I cannot, I am so proud of you little wing. I have always loved you, but now you must die." Benezia said the last bit very coldly and it seemed as if she had never really cared for Liara. Swarms of asari commando's and geth came in to the room. Shadow ran and killed a group of geth with the gun-blade, she ran to the next group and threw them all with a biotic hit.
"You son's of motherfucking bitches! Never ever try to kill me again!" Shadow stood over them and snapped each and everyone of their necks one after the other. Shadow ran back to Liara to find her holding her mother in her arms.
"I am so sorry mother, how did this happen to you? Why did you follow Saren?" Liara was crying and she wouldn't stop, she didn't know what to do with herself, how could she her mother had just been killed by her.
"Liara… I…" Shadow grabbed Liara's arm and pulled her into a hug, Shadow stood and rocked, while Liara continued to cry.
"Shh, it's going to be ok, she's in a better place now." Shadow whispered softly in Liara's ear, Liara dug her head into Shadow's neck and Shadow kissed her forehead. Ashley and Shepard were stood hugging as well as Ashley was almost crying because she knew how Liara felt loosing one of her parents. Shadow touched Liara's chin and lifted Liara's head up to hers.
"Come on, let's wipe away those tears and get back onto the Normandy." Shadow lifted the bottom of her shirt up showing her six pack and wiped Liara's cheeks. Liara nodded her head and put her arm around Shadows waist and Shadow put her arm around Liara shoulder, and again kissed Liara's forehead. Shepard and Ashley did the same and began walking; Liara and Shadow followed their arms still firmly around each other.
"Never leave me Shadow." Liara whispered as she looked at Shadow.
"I never will unless you want me to." Liara snuggled into Shadows shoulder and they both continued to walk away to the Normandy.
"Lee, sweetie, you want a coffee?" Shadow said softly and faced the asari lying on the bed in tears. Liara nodded her head and Shadow bought over the freshly made coffee. Shadow placed it on the chest of draws next to the bed, and she lay on the bed and turned her body to face Liara, she pulled Liara into a hug and let her cry into her neck.
"I am so sorry Shadow." Liara said as her bottom lip trembled and the tears still fell down her face, Shadow got her thumb and wiped away Liara's tears.
"What for?" Shadow said in the most caring voice possible.
"For crying on you all day." Liara said trying to force out a smile.
"Anytime you want babe." Shadow said with a smile.
"Why do I feel so close to you?" Liara said confused. "I never want to leave you and I have never felt this with anyone before." Liara continued questioning and thinking.
"This isn't meant to make sense, it never does anyway." Shadow said smiling.
"Maybe you are right." Liara said as she kissed Shadow on the lips.
"I always am and Lee? Do you want me to stay with you here tonight?"
"Yes, I would like that." Liara smiled and they fell asleep in each others arms
