Chapter 2: back to reality
Not three minutes passed before I heard it an alarm "whats going on, whats that alarm for" I yelled hysteria infecting my voice
The young man I had come to know as Eli responded "proximity alert looks like one of Blakk's men"
"Kid you helped me so your on my good side this guy is your enemy so I'll help you" I said checking my tactical cloak
Eli responded almost instantly with a course "no your badly injured stay here"
"Fine" I said but as soon as Eli was out of range I activated my cloak and went after that goon that tripped the alarm
(Eli's POV)
"That guy offered to help" I started "but he's too injured" as if to punctuate my sentence the mysterious stranger appeared behind the intruder out of thin air choked him out
"Too injured am I" he yelled at the gang
"Well thanks but you are very injured " I yelled back
"I have implants to regulate that" he yelled back
"So what's your name?" Kord asked
"back at the hideout " he yelled once more then started rubbing his throat
(Shepard's POV)
As the gang walked in I started explaining "so where do I begin... *sigh* my name is Commander Shepard saviour of the citadel, first human spectre, commander of the Nomandy"
Eli and his gang stared but it was the big blue guy who started "names Kord"
"I'm Trixie" the small girl said
"And I am Pronto, the magnificent" the short mole said
"I take your mole friend gave himself that title?" I asked and got nods around the room "well I need to find my crew you wouldn't happen to have seen a large Turian would you" getting the silence I thought I continued "well if you don't know who I am and you haven't heard of the reapers I'm likely in a dimension parallel to my own" the whole room looked confused and shocked as I finished "the blast from the crucible would have created enough energy to... Don't mind me just thinking out loud"
Eli stopped me from continuing by saying "look Shepard was it? We have our own problems as you've clearly seen.
Helping you get back will take time and we have stop Doctor Blakk"
"Well I'll help you set me up with a room get me a chin-up bar and give me some time to get some gear and I'll help you stop this Blakk guy. In exchange when this is over you help me get back do we have a deal?" I asked extending my hand
"Deal" Eli stated shaking my hand
"Good now do you now of a junk yard around here that I can find some parts? I don't feel comfortable using.. whatever that is on your shoulder" I said uncomfortably as the orange creature ignited itself "ah! Jesus what are they"
