Chapter 3
Go to chapter 1 for disclaimers.
Miranda panicked as she watched the red head walk around her long desk with an eat shit grin that made Miranda wish she hadn't brought the sometimes irritating savior back from the dead. Jaqueline Shepard now stood in front of a very flustered, very red Miranda Lawson, trying very hard to hide her frustration. How could she have forgotten to lock the door! She internally kicked herself.
"So Miranda, I see you are putting the security cameras to use." Shepard turned the monitor back on and the image of jack sleeping, curled up into a ball on her cot, pops up on the screen. The ginger then hits a few keys and the footage rewinds. Shepard plays it at the moment the tattooed convict moans out the older woman's name over the recording."
"…M-Miranda!..." Shepard then switches the monitor off and grins at Miranda.
"It also seems that you have a problem locking doors." Miranda then gives the red head a glare to remember.
"I'm sorry Shepard I wasn't expecting company." The operative looked her captain in her red eyes, her skin surrounding them was cracked and had an ominous red glow to it. Her hair had a few black low lights in it and her canines always seemed more…. Sharp.
"No worries Miranda," Shepard walks back around Miranda's desk and heads for the sliding door.
"No one has to know about this little encounter," she then turns around and points a single finger to her chin and taps it lightly.
"As long as you give me access to the cameras." Miranda's mouth dropped open and out of nowhere she got dizzy. The raven haired woman steadied herself on the edge of her desk and waved Shepard away.
"Yes, fine, just please go now." Shepard faces the door and it whooshes open. The captain walks out and looks back at Miranda with a smirk as the door slides closed behind her. Miranda moves slowly from her standing position at her desk to the nearest sofa in her room shaped much like an L to the left of the room. She lays down on the black and tan striped cushions, moving her hand to the end of a zipper at the top of her collar, she pulls down on the zipper till it is just below her belly button.
Miranda starts to panic a bit, not understanding why she was so dizzy, she lifts her arm up and her omni-tool lights up. She punches in a number and her wrist starts to ring. It rang for a minute and an older woman's voice starts to illuminate from her wrist.
"This is doctor Chakwas you are calling, I am terribly sorry but I am not able to answer right now. If you could call again at your most convenient hour, I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you. BEEP!" Miranda slams her hand down on the sofa under her.
"Damn it!" she can feel herself slipping in and out of conciseness, she quickly dials the only number she is sure will answer. Her wrist rings and after the second ring someone answers.
"Miranda? What is going on?" a Russian accent comes from the omni-tool with a little worry in her words.
"Tali… a little help… in my room.." Miranda blacks out.
*two hours later*
Warmth surrounded Miranda and her head felt like a varren had been chewing on it. She slowly sits up to feel the warmth slip off of her. She opens her eye to see her white bed spread pooled around her torso.
"Oh! You're awake. I was so worried about you, when I came in you were half naked and passed out on the sofa. I really didn't know what to do. I also don't understand why you called me." Tali rambled on for a little bit more, questioning Miranda about what had happened to her, why she was passed out and what in the homeland she wouldn't have called the doctor.
"Tali, I tried to call the doctor but she didn't answer. I called you because I know that you have trouble sleeping because of the quiet, I knew you would be awake." Miranda stopped talking and looked down for a short moment, thinking about what question she was going to answer next.
"I passed out because I have been on meds for a bug I have that have messed with my system, one side effect being light headedness." Tali looks at Lawson and folds her slender arms in front of her torso.
"You are having problems with an illness and you called the quarian in to help? Is another side effect the loss of brain activity as well?" the suited woman giggles a little as her glowing eyes slanting a bit as she smiles behind her mask. Miranda laughs with the girl fresh from her Pilgrimage and moves the blankets off of herself then moves to sit on the edge of the bed.
"Thank you Tali, I am glad I have someone who doesn't think I'm the ice queen." Miranda shines a small, gentle smile at the alien women. Tali stands and looks at the woman clad only in a black bra and lacey panties.
"Well uhm, I should go now seeing as you are awake and well. If you need anything just give me another call" the woman turns and waves her good byes at the operative.
Miranda waved good bye and tilted her head a bit. Why was Tali acting so weird? She looks down and sees that she is wearing close to nothing. Miranda lays down and covers back up. She stops to think before dozing off to sleep, if she passed out half clothed than why was she almost naked now? Then it clicked in her mind. That little pervert undressed me, bloody hell I hope she didn't do anything that will come back to bite me in the ass. She lays down and drifts back to sleep.
*down in the hull, 2 hours and 15 minutes earlier*
Jack hears the thud of shoes coming down to the small space she calls her own on this ship, once the thud noises stop she looks up to see Shepard standing at the bottom of the stairs.
"What do you want girl-scout? I don't have time for you, I'm trying to sleep." Jack roles over, and pulls the cover to her small army stile cot over her head. She hopes Shepard will get the hint and go fuck with her blue bitch on a video call or something, just so long as she stops coming down to try and befriend the tattooed con. Before she could think of more ways to curse the ex-spectR the covers were ripped off of her and Shepard stood above her.
"Well hello there friend, I have a little bit of information you might want to know about." The captain walks over to the small work desk at the end of Jack's hull and hops on top of it to sit on the ledge. Jack finally sits up, swings her legs over the edge of her cot and looks at Shepard with her elbows set on her knees.
"What could you possibly have that I would want?" Jack tilts her head towards the woman sitting on her desk.
"Access to the video feed around the entire ship." Jack scoffs at her.
"What the fuck would I need that for? To watch you and little bitch blue go all misty eyed and do that weird swirly black shit with your eyes? Nope, ill fuckin' pass on that." Shepard chuckled and crossed her arms across her chest.
"No smart ass, to get dirt on the ice queen. You know you want to, anything to get at her right?" Jaqueline Shepard gives Jack a grin that makes her a little uneasy.
Jack stops and thinks about it a bit, sure she could use it to watch everyone on the ship, make sure no one was doing anything to cross her. Maybe even get a little bit of spank material, you know, just to keep the edge off when shit got instance or whatever. Or maybe she could watch what the cheer leader did, she was sure that the all too serious woman did something that Jack could hold above her head.
Or maybe she could just watch her, just to make sure she doesn't get hurt again, or go trying go fuck anything that moves on the ship. Jack wouldn't mind keeping an eye out Miranda right? Wait, why was she thinking like that? She didn't care about what happened to Miranda. She could get spaced for all she fucking cared.
Jack's thoughts stopped.
Her stomach lurched at the thought of Miranda's death. Did she really care about the older woman? Jack thought back to the gentle smile Miranda had given her in the med-bay.
"Fine I want the access." Shepard smiled and hopped off the table.
"I'll have it ready for you tomorrow. Come see me in the morning, come to my room." Shepard walked away, a little too chipper for Jack's liking. After hearing the captain leave she heard Tali from a distance.
Jack decided she was done with the damned day already. She went and plopped down on her cot then pulled the covers up over her head. She fell asleep thinking about a tall woman with black hair and a nice ass.
Reviews please and I will update within the next week if not tomorrow if I get bored ;)
