Chapter 22

Citadel

Kyra and her team mates walked into the elevator after arriving to the docking bay. The Citadel was massive and full of people of different races. Raidenka looked at the top of the elevator and said nothing as he remembered what he did before.

"I have a record you know that right Kyra? "he asked

"Yes but don't worry, your marked by the Alliance, Raidenka that's why Hackett gave you those clothes" she said looking back

"….Still don't like these" he said

The elevator doors opened as they walked out together walking passed others and headed for the main attraction within the looked at the guards with such disgust.

"How about some lunch guys" asked Kyra

"Hell yeah!"yelled Raidenka

"No thanks,Im headed to the hospital I need some supplies I'll catch up with the rest of you later" said Dakar

"Alright"said Kyra

"I'll go with you" said Danita

Dakar looked at her and continued on

The 3 headed towards the Presidium Comms within the Citadel. Raidenka couldn't wait. Walking out of the elevator they walked through the busy halls

together and headed down the stairs to the right walking passed many known faces. Kyra paid little attention to others around her. Her mind began to slowly

drift from one thing to another. Dominic and Kyra sat down at a nearby table, the round table was near to the end getting a great view of the massive lake.

Kyra and Dominic sat across from each other. Raidenka went to go look through what stores he'd want food from.

"How are you feeling now Kyra" asked Dominic

"I'm better now" she said

"I'm glad that's good" he said

"Ugh..well I-"

"What a great view isn't it" she asked

"Yeah it is..is there anyone special back home?" he asked

Kyra smiled and looked at him

"No, besides my family and what about you" she asked looking straight into his eyes

"No one besides my family as well" he said smiling

Raidenka came back with his plate of lunch and brought them something too. He looked at them and they stopped talking instantly. He didn't say a word for a moment.

"What? Don't mind me guys I'm hungry "he said

Danita looked at the long list of things that Dakar was buying. She noticed and recognized a lot of them she knew what they were for. He noticed her but said

nothing about it at all. She walked towards the massive glass window walking passed other patients. Looking down she could see the massive lake and its

beauty. Glowing freely at the people. Dakar thanked and walked towards her stopping beside her.

"Danita you okay?" he asked

"I-I didn't know you were sickly" she said

"…I won't die soon, if that's what you're asking" he continued

"That's not what I meant" she said

"I know…."he said looking down at the river and flying cars

"Can I ask you what happened?" she asked while looking up to the side of his wrapped face

"…I'm an Assassin, always have been…I never had this" he said

"Friends?" she asked

"….Peace" he said

"I don't see you like that, I see you more than that" she said

Dakar said nothing. He only stared down and heard her words speaking.

"I think of you as something more Dakar" she continued

Dakar looked to his left at her both for a second until his Omni tool glowed. She looked at his Omni tool.

"Sorry" he said walking passed her

She crossed her arms thinking about how to spend her day. Dakar looked at her and thought about he continued walking. Danita looked down as she closed her eyes she then felt a tap on her left shoulder. Dakar stood beside her.

"I'm sorry….Danita let's talk then" he said

Both walked together into the elevator heading down to the Presidium Comms

Kyra walked beside Dominic as they finished their lunch with Raidenka. Raidenka had went off to release some steam. Dominic and Kyra stood side by side looking out resting their hands on the rail. Over looking to the water.

"Can I ask Kyra what Dakar meant the first time we meet him in his cell" asked Dominic

Kyra closed her eyes with a sigh

"My parents died when I was smaller, I was taken in by my adopted Turian family" she said

"They took me in and treated me as if I was their own, they knew my mother, I was saved from being burned alive by a boy" she said

"Did you know who that was?" he asked

"That's the funny thing about it I was saved by Aaron Shepard" she said smiling

"No way" he said

"I was one of those kids that grew up on stations, this was 12 years ago, and the ship we both served and lived on was named "Destiny" "she continued

"It was attacked by Cerberus, and since then I wanted to join the N7 program" she said

"Kyra I'm sorry" he said

"It's okay, what about you" she asked

"I haven't lost anyone like that, only losing the Primarch Fedorian on Palaven's moon" he said

"Now let's clear the sadness a bit, how about we go clubbing?" he asked bravely

Kyra stared towards him. She looked at him with a seriously look. Yet she knew what he was trying to do and she thought in her mind oh what the hell then.

"Yeah alright then let's go" she said

Danita and Dakar walked along side each other walking passed other Turian's and drells alike. Guards kept on walking passed them.

"How long have you been like this "she asked

"Since I can remember, I don't remember much besides being used as a tool by the illusive man" said Dakar

"Its something that was put into me not passed on or given, something that were supposedly known as improvements that gave me this side effect" he said

"I don't know if I have any siblings or parents" he said

"….I didn't mean to push" she said

"No its okay, I just try not to connect to many people "he continued

Both stopped and rested among the rail.

"I can relate to you Dakar, I grew up only knowing my father and now that he is gone I had no one" she said

"Until I met you guys, I'm glad Kyra gave me this chance" she said

"She knows what she's doing and I'm glad too" he said

Danita looked down fumbling with her hands. Dakar noticed that as he looked at them. He sensed her heart beating faster. He knew she was nervous. Reaching for something in his pocket he handed it out towards her.

"This is for you "he said

Danita held it in her hands looking at it closely she was brought some warmth in her heart. She hadn't felt this kindness before in a while. Dakar looked at her reaction. She held within her hands a hearted blue and black crystal with an engraved wording.

The wordings said:

"The life that has been given, means little when half complete, when life becomes more it evolves, the more life evolves the more we become"

"Thank you Dakar" she said

"I love it "she continued as she held his bandaged right hand. He looked through his blue visor back towards hers and both touched foreheads together in sync.

Raidenka went to the bar as he drank .He noticed a couple of other guys entering nothing special until he saw him. A band of Mercenaries named "Raging Elephants". A group of mercenaries that were rounded up by a Krogan named "Mort".Raidenka knew him from before. Mort walked up to him and slapped his back.

"Traitor, heard you lost your crew HAHAHAHA you're not so strong now" he said

Raidenka turned around and quickly head butted him as Mort fell to one knee.

"I'm going to enjoy this Mort" said Raidenka

The other crew men of Vorchas and Krogan rushed in to him as he ran towards them. Raidenka elbowed and punched, his way through them. The Turian

bartender called security. Raidenka punched and grabbed ahold of a dropped Vorcha and threw him towards the security guards. Mort pulled out his

executioner pistol aiming it towards Raidenka as he stood over him. Raidenka stood over him smiling and curb stomped his head in.

"Stop!" yelled security guards as they aimed their weapons towards him

Raidenka looked at them as he laughed and raised his hands.

"Good news boys, I didn't spill my beer" he said

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA"laughed Raidenka

Within the dance club people enjoyed themselves. The bar was at the far end to the left and seats were across to the left. Kyra smiled looking around walking

forward Dominic walked towards her from the bar with her drink. He smiled and handed it to her. Kyra held it in her hand ,both clanked drinks and went up the

long stairs. She smiled looking at him as they took their steps up.

"I didn't think you'd know how to dance Dominic" she said

"Yeah I'm okay but my father knows best" he said

"Alright come on" said Kyra smiling as they reached the top

Kyra and Dominic stared forward seeing the dimmed blue lights. People dancing together some others alone but other than that pure fun. Kyra looked at

Dominic as he looked forward thinking about this. Kyra grabbed ahold of his right hand and pulled him as she ran towards the center. Dominic was swirled

around as she and he were face to face. Dominic moved left she moved her body at the rhythm of the song. Both moved together within the crowd of people as

cheering continued back and forth. Dominic held her close both enjoyed each other's company. His hands were around her waist, her hands were around his

neck both laughed and smiled towards each other. Both got closer and kissed. People around them cheered. As they stopped their foreheads tapped together.

Both looked into each other's eyes.

"Wow…your amazing Kyra" said Dominic

"You're not too bad yourself "she said as they kissed
