Enemies:

Shepard closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the wall, shifting to find a more comfortable position with her hands and feet cuffed. Opening her eyes she took in the room she was in, grey, windowless, and very small, the stereotypical jail cell. She reviewed in her head what went wrong to allow her to be captured. Everything had been going as planned, well as much as any battle will. Then a fire lanced into her knee, which gave out and dumped her to the ground. Before she could get to cover, turians where appearing out of every nook and cranny. In a heartbeat two had her pined and a third was injecting her with something. She heard shouts from the rest of her squad then blackness.

There should not have been that many damn turians there, bad intel then, I'll hunt whoever gave us that intel and kill them myself. I'm glad I talked Kaidan into moving back to Earth with the kids and getting out of the military.

Shepard let her mind wonder that path, imaging little Ashley's excitement when she got her red belt, and Robert's smile when he showed off the spelling bee champion trophy and Jessica as she practice biotics with her father. Kaidan always wrote detailed letters so she felt as she was there in sprit even if she could not be in person. All three of their kids knew and understood why mom had to go off and fight in the war. Shanxi and Mindoir where just one of many attacks of this war that started with the humans finding and using Relay three-fourteen. Shepard knew it would not end until the council step in, even then it would take decades or even centuries to heal. Shepard was not sure she wanted it to stop, she had lost her entire family to turian raiders on Mindoir, countless squad mates, even the thresh maw attack on Akuze was a trap by the turians. But if this war stop then her kids-

The door opened and a blue silver turian stepped in. Shepard quickly identified its gender, rank, and markings. His markings where Pavalen's tattoo in blue, like his eyes. He was also Commander like she was. She sat up as straight as possible as he swaggered in.

"Hello commander Shepard. it's a pleasure to finally meet you in person," His voice reverberated. He did not look at her however, he looked at the wall to the left, "and outside of battle." He then turned his face to look at her, and she saw the scaring on his left mandible and face. Shepard bit her lip, something about him was familiar, but the drugs they had injected into her still left her a bit fuzzy.

He squatted down and took her chin in his talons. Shepard jerked her head back, but he kept hold of her.

"5923-AC-2826, Commander Shepard." Was her response.

"I see that I might have to refresh your memory a bit." He released her violently, nicking her face. Standing up he looked down at her condescendingly. Shepard snarled and tried to stand up too. When she had almost got up, he kicked out a leg, and used his spur to dump her on her back. Five more times she tried to get up, before staying on the ground glaring at him.

"You are a stubborn one Shepard. I knew you where. The report of you killing Saren and Nhilus was very informative." He replied.

"Who are you?" Shepard spat out.

"Garrus Vakarian." Garrus replied staring down at her.

Shepard felt herself go cold, she knew him. Her squad and her had been hunting him for four years. She thought she had got him on Omega... "You should have been dead."

"Ah yes, I was very lucky. There was a doctor nearby that patched me up, ex-STG. I have been laying low, and taking out your allies." He settled down on his spurs, "have you heard from that quarian trash lately." Garrus tapped the side of his head as if in thought, "Sal'Lee, no Tam'Zoha, oh yes I remember Tali'Zora?" Shepard swallowed and shook her head.

"Oh you didn't hear? I let one of my men have her. I'm afraid that she came down with a nasty cold, they are quite fragile species, she never recovered." He smiled, showing his row of sharp teeth.

"You bastard." Shepard stated coolly.

"The two Krogan put up quite a fight, as well as the assassin. And your ship was taken the same time you where." Garrus slid in closer to Shepard. She closed her eyes and willed the tears not to fall. They would only give him more ammo.

"I have I told you what a lovely family you have. Your smallest one it turning out a bit like the woman you named her after. Too bad she was killed in the hunt for Saren, and did not get to see her name sake." Shepard eyes flashed and she started to head butt him, but he did not give her the chance to. Garrus grabbed the back of her head and leaned in close almost but not quite touching his forehead to hers, she could feel the heat radiating off him.

"Don't worry love; they are safe from us as long as they stay on earth. We have not found a way to pluck them off earth...yet." He then licked her neck. "You have more pressing worries lovely." She whimpered as he started to rip her clothes, not being careful with his talons.

"Jane wake up." Garrus said, shaking her. He froze when she leapt out of bed and snatch the gun off the dresser, aiming it at him.

"Jane, what's wrong." Garrus said soothingly. Shepard hand shook, but did not lower the gun.

"Garrus?" Shepard blink and woke up a bit more. Lowering her gun but not releasing it. "It was a nightmare. I think you should go...for a bit, let me sort it out.". Garrus made his way out the room, careful not to make any sudden moves. After he was gone she collapse in the corner of the room, wishing that her nightmares where not so realistic.
