I do not own Mass Effect or any of the associated contact. Jagher Shepard is my Shepard and Fayelle Shepard is my friend's Shepard. This is a collection of moments set throughout the games. They're rated for language and violence mostly.

Mass Effect 2: Moments.
A Moment Where Anger Wins.

"That cowardly son of a bitch."

"Jag, you may not want to say those things on his ship."

"Fucking, two-faced son of a whore."

"Jagher, he's going to hear you."

"I DON'T CARE!" Jagher stopped her pacing and turned her attention to her sister and Garrus behind her. "LET HIM HEAR ME!" She batted away Fayelle's hands when her younger sister tried to hug her. The elder Shepard was full of rage; everything she had been holding back about the ship, Kaidan, working for Cerberus, Kaidan… It was just coming out in the face of The Illusive Man's latest plan. "HE DRAGGED KAIDAN INTO THIS!"

"SHEPARD!" Garrus yelled.

The noise just made her growl. Fayelle tried to grab her sister again, but Jagher just marched away and headed for the cockpit. "JOKER!"

"Yes Shepard?"

"Turn us around. We are not going to Horizon. We are not bringing the Collectors there."

"What if the Collectors get there before us?" the pilot asked.

Jagher groaned and wheeled around and started marching back to the command centre, Garrus and Fayelle following. Fayelle leapt at her sister and all but tackled her to the ground. Jagher stumbled before whirling and landing a solid punch in Fayelle's gut, but the distraction gave Garrus the moment he needed. The turian wrapped his arms around her middle and pulled her back until there was enough room to turn the Commander around and stare her in the eye; the other crew members on the deck turned their attention elsewhere.

"Shepard," Garrus said. "You have to go to Horizon. The Collectors will be on their way, if they're not already there. Kaidan can take care of himself, but the other people on that colony need us."

Fayelle approached from the side. "I know you're pissed that The Illusive Man brought Kaidan in on this, but you can't not help those people. They need your help, even though they don't think they do."

Jagher shook her head, stubbornly refusing to see the logic, the rationality. "I can't go there," she finally said. "I can't."

"You have no choice, Shepard," Miranda said from the doorway.

Jagher roughly untangled herself from Garrus and Fayelle and marched towards Miranda. She pointed a finger at the genetically modified woman and narrowed her green eyes. "I am really starting to hate you and your Illusive Man and all your 'brilliant' plans." Jagher stomped passed Miranda. "Tell Joker to take us to Horizon. I'll be in my quarters," she called over her shoulder.

Jagher did want to see Kaidan again, more than anything, but she wasn't so sure he'd want to see her again.

ILLUSIVE MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN.

So much hate.
