Chapter 23

Priority: Earth

Shore leave had ended. The next day had arrived the team had a very relaxing day. The team began to head back to the docking bay. Together knowing that

this was they're final push. Heading out for Earth home to humanity. Kyra had felt relieved feeling excited. She felt happy despite what had been going on. She

looked at her team mates as they walked ahead of her. She loved the idea of them being there, of them having her back. Raidenka was freed the next day

from jail upon the citadel within felt happy as he stole a couple of items and one Turian helmet as a prize. Dakar and Danita established something over the

day.

Both grew a little more attached to one another. Both had gained something that was missing over the years. Danita loved them, she looked at her team

mates as if they had been with her all her life. She smiled under her helmet. Dakar had gained a new thought of mind something he had never felt before.

Something to call a "home". Knowing that he is an Ex-Cerberus Assassin that had attacked and killed Asari Elders and Councilors before. Yet he didn't feel

judged at all by them. Dominic held Kyra's hand both looking at each other with no problems.

"What are your plans after this war?" asked Kyra

"Well, I'm not sure still…but I think I'll stay a little longer maybe a year in the Turian military then who knows retire?" he guessed smiling at her

"Interesting Dom" she said back

"What about you" he asked

"Maybe the same, except within the Alliance though…I don't think they'll let me transfer into the Turian military" she said

"I think they would, since your N7 I mean" he continued

"Hmmm, trying to hold onto this girl huh"she said sarcastically

"I don't want to lose you, yes I want-"

"I know I'm not giving up on this, Dominic I mean that" said Kyra as she held his hand tighter

Dominic looked at her and smiled thinking that she was understanding and a wonderful person. One of the few he has met over the years. One that means

something more than a friend or ally.

"I hope to find a solution then" he said

"Hmm? To what?" she asked

"Something to do about you being farther away" he said

Docking bay doors opened her team walked to the end of the hallway seeing the Primus awaiting them out in shuttle was prepped and ready to leave. Kyra

and Dominic walked on Dakar and Danita headed inside the shuttle along with Raidenka and Dominic. Kyra stopped noticing another group except this one was

larger. She looked to the right noticing someone she recognized. He was bended over his right arm resting on the steel rail. A Quarian female hugged him and

walked away. She couldn't believe noticed the black N7 clothing. He continued to look out forward towards a ship. Looking out too she noticed it, and it was

magnificent.

The Normandy SR-2, standing by outside being refueled and ready. Kyra walked towards him as he stood ready to walk away.

"Aaron?!"she yelled

Aaron stopped and turned around, his hair was in a shape of a short growing Mohawk. Black was his hair eyes glowed silver, body fit and thin. He wore the

same clothes as her.

"Kyra? Kyra Haledon? Wow it's been a long time" he said smiling as he walked towards her

"You made it, you're an N7"he said

"Yeah I did, yet with a couple of stops along the way" she said

"That's great, you're on shore leave too?" he asked

"Was, well it ended as of this morning and now I'm headed for earth" she said

"This won't be easy for any of us, I'm glad you're in this till the end" he said

"I'm sorry about what happened back on Thessia, Aaron you tried" she said

"I know, I heard about your team nice to see others building" he said

"I gotta get going then, take care of yourself out there Kyra" he said

"You too Aaron" she finished and walked back to her shuttle.

Kyra entered as Raidenka looked at her

"About time what you do woman?" he asked laughing

"I got to see an old friend just now" she said

"I'm ready to kill them bastards!"yelled Raidenka

"If we succeed in this we could end the war knowing that whatever Shepard is doing works" said Dominic

Their shuttle took off heading back to the Primus,ready for warp through the Mass relay.
