"Good luck Shadow. Stay safe." Shepard hit Shadow's back and shook her hand.

"Thanks man! Good luck to you too. Good luck Ash." Shadow grabbed Ash and pulled her into a hug.

"Don't worry she's gonna make it and so are you." Ash said quietly to Shadow.

"Thanks Ash, I got your back." Shadow said as she kissed Ash on the cheek.

"Now you've been kissed by two hot ladies." Shadow winked at Ash.

"Ha yeah guess so." Ash gave Shadow a smirk and walked over to Shepard. Shepard and Ash gave each other a hug and a kiss. Shadow walked over to Liara and could see tears in her eyes. She gave a faint smile and pulled Liara into a hug.

"I'm gonna be fine, and so are you." Shadow whispered in Liara's ear.

"Please do not leave me." Liara began to cry.

"I'm always coming back to you. I promise." Shadow said as she pulled away till she was gently holding Liara on the shoulders.

"Dear lord now you made me cry." Shadow wiped tears away from her face and kissed Liara on the lips. She gave slapped the top of her helmet and handed it to Liara and smiled.

"Wanna do the honours?" Shadow smirked and Liara nodded. She gently kissed the helmet and put it on Shadow's head.

"Keep your promise Shadow. Please." Tears rolled down her cheek.

"I always do. I love you Liara." Her voice sounded muffled through the helmet. Shadow grabbed Liara's hand in hers and just looked at it.

"I love you too sweetheart." Liara tried to smile. Shadow gently walked away, releasing her hand at the last moment. Liara stood and watched as Shadow just walked into what seemed like a suicide mission


"Move! Move! Move!" Shepard shouted as Saren's reaper form attempted to kill them. Shadow's gunblade shone in the artificial light being let in through the glass. She ran up to Saren and stabbed him over and over again.

"Motherfucker!" She screamed as Saren finally fell to the ground. The light's that lit his body faded and he lay there motionless.

"Thank fuck for that." Shadow smiled and looked at Shepard.

"The first reaper to be killed and I did it. Jealous Shep?" Shadow laughed and Shepard walked over and gave her a hug.

"Proud. Extremely proud." Shepard sounded like she was crying and Ash came and joined in with the hug.

"Dude he's gone, don't cry." They all laughed and stood there for a while in a big group hug before trying to find their way around the deserted and broken Citadel.


"Shadow!" Liara screeched as she ran towards her. Shadow turned around and threw her helmet off. The sweat was visible on her forehead and in her hair.

"Baby!" Shadow screamed as she picked Liara up and spun her around.

"Oh I missed you." Shadow said as she kissed Liara.

"I missed you too." Liara replied happily.

"I kept my promise."

"You always do remember." They both smiled at each other and stood in each other's arms.
