"Good news Ash. I found someone to save Shepard." Shadow said cooly over the vid channel. Ash smiled.

"Who?"

"Cerberus." Shadow nervously said before bowing her head towards the floor.

"No! Cerberus is not touching her!" Ash shouted.

"They are the only one's that can save Shepard! Do you want her to die?"

"But… I just…"

"Look Ash I hate it too but we have to do this ok?"

"Yeah I suppose. How do you know Cerberus anyway?" Ash was very cautious before asking this question.

"I used to work for them." Shadows head hung in shame.

"You worked for them?! So then why does it say you've always worked for the alliance?"

"I was a double agent." Shadow sighed and looked at Liara who was stood behind her.

"A double agent?! What the hell?! You better not still work for them!"

"Look I don't Ash! I worked for them from the age of 18 to 20 and that's it!" Shadows temper began to rise, and Liara stood with her hands on Shadow's shoulders gently rubbing them.

"You know how many people you got killed?!" Shadow couldn't take anymore and jumped out of her chair with flailing biotics.

"You don't think I know?! You think I don't realize how many people died because of me?! My fucking 1st girlfriend died because of me! I loved her! I fucking loved her and I killed her! She never fucking knew about this Ash! It breaks me every fucking time I think of it! Fuck you Ash if you don't think you can trust me! But don't forget I have fucking saved your ass many a time! I loved you like a sister! Im helping you get your fucking girlfriend back because I know how much it hurts watching them go into that coffin! I know how much it hurts! She died in my arms because a Cerberus operation went wrong! I got my whole fucking squad killed! Every fucking person bar me!" Tears streamed down Shadow's face and she turned around to Liara who gave her a tight hug and allowed Shadow to cry into her shoulder.

"I think you need to talk to her later Ash. Maybe next time you could control your personal feelings against something you know nothing about." Liara snapped as she turned the vid scream off.

"Shadow? Talk to me, my love." Liara held Shadow tighter and just listened to the sobs of her lover.

"I… Shepard will hate me and now Ash does." Shadow still cried.

"You did everything you could. If Ashley doesn't like it she will have to deal with it." Liara wiped the tears from Shadow's eyes and smiled softly at her.

"I suppose I did. I love you." Shadow gave a weary smile before Liara planted a small kiss on Shadow's lips, Shadow pulled Liara close once again. The small kiss had turned into a more passionate one, lips moved in unison, Shadow let Liara's tongue slide into her mouth. Liara's tongue ran the length of Shadows own and Shadow just allowed it. Liara pulled the black t-shirt off of Shadow and simply just stood there admiring Shadow's body. Shadow swiftly managed to take off Liara's t-shirt as well and pulled her towards the bed in the corner of the room. Shadows back hit the mattress and Liara was now on-top of her. The kissing continued as Shadow skillfully with one hand unhooked Liara's bra and pulled the straps smoothly down Liara's arms before throwing it onto the floor. Liara was still on-top of Shadow, and Shadow had begun planting kisses on Liara's stomach which earned a few gasps here and there. Shadow began to move further down Liara's stomach until she had hit Liara's trousers; she quickly managed to throw Liara's trousers onto the floor, and then began to pull down Liara's pants down with her teeth. Slipping off the pants, Shadow moved back up too Liara's face and attacked Liara's lips with her own. Shadow moved to Liara's neck and gently nipped it every so often before moving once again down to the blue woman's stomach.

"You are heaven…" Shadow said softly as she continued to run her hands down Liara's arched back.

"Embrace eternity."

Shadow awoke with a start and looked down to see Liara still asleep with a smile on her face. Shadow moved her hand over Liara's cheek, Liara's eyes fluttered open and she placed her hand on Shadow's.

"Nightmare again?" Liara softly whispered.

"Yeah the same one, I was trying to save Sam but I couldn't." Liara got out of bed and got dressed.

"At least you still worry Shadow. It proves you have a heart." Liara smiled and sat on the bed now fully dressed.

"Yeah I guess so." Shadow said and rubbed her head.
