"No hemlet again?" James' asked
"No. When I kill someone, I want them to see how they look in my eyes. Small. Insignifcant."
James turned his head away from me, no longer able to look at me. A lot of people looked away from me, whether my actions were good or not. Not many people could stand looking at my eyes. The red iris' reminded them of demons. I reminded them of a demon.
"ETA 5 minutes, Shepard." Joker's voice resounded in the small chamber.
"Joker, I want you to engage stealth mode. We don't know what is going on down there."
"No prob, Shep." Joker never seemed to mind what I had become. I think he understood better than anyone. He knew what had happened, and he didn't blame me for their deaths.
"Just in case you forgot, Shepherd, if you put my baby in any danger, I'm leaving your ass behind."
"You can try, Joker. You'd miss my ass though."
James' head snapped back around at this comment, and he started choking. "Commander?"
"What? I have a nice ass." James finally noticed the smirk on my face.
"Should have fucking known." He muttered. "She always goddamn teases me."
Teases. My smirk disappeared as I thought of the last person who used to accuse me of teasing him. Kaiden. When he found out what had happened to me, what they had done to me, he refused me. James noticed the sudden change in my mood and grabbed me by my shoulder.
"Eliza, forget him."
"Get the fuck of me, Vega." I snarled at him. Forget him? I've been trying to fucking forget him for the past 2 years. A lot had changed about me since then. Not for the better. The one thing that hadn't changed thought was the hurt and the anger I felt towards Kaiden. Suddenly remembering the mission, I asked, "Edi, have we arrived?"
"Yes, Shepard. We've been here for 3 minutes. Steven is waiting in the cockpit. Would it be possible to let me accompany you on this mission."
"Sure. Let's go, Vega." I shouted at him.
