Paths to Vengeance
Chapter 9 Trust and offers
Authors notes I don't own Mass Effect Bioware does and this fic is a slight crossover with the film War, just so you all know.
Also I recommend that all my readers check out the fics written by Angels Anthem, Appa Appa Away, LongLiveThe Clones, XxheavendragonxX, Aurora Lunar 0Love This0, Icehockeychic4 and Canadiancloneluver as they are seven of the best writers on this site in my opinion. And please if you read this fic let me know what you think of it good or bad comments let me know as I want your opinions on it.
And lastly I recommend that all of readers have a look at the work written by Guardian Kitch as the work that author has written is very, very good.
Well that's enough of an authors note on with chapter 9.
Omega Afterlife
Aria and Rogue sat in her office as she asked him "How did you know C-Sec was going to be there?".
Rogue answered "Experience". Aria smiled and said "You have impressed me once again, my friend. As you can see C-Sec and the Citadel Council have declared war on us. Well fuck them. I trust that you have secured the shipment?".
Rogue nodded as he said "Its completely safe Aria I assure you".
Aria then said "I have work for you my friend, but there's someone here who's looking for you, and wants to talk to you, do you want to hear his proposal?".
Rogue answered "I'll listen to what this person has to say, let them in".
Aira then opened her Omni-Tool and said to her guards "Let him in". the doors opened and 1 man entered wearing N7 armour and Rogue asked "Who are you supposed to be exactly?".
The man replied "My name is Commander Shepard and I'm a Spectre and I'm on a critical mission, I need your help Rogue, entire human colonies are disappearing and I know who doing this".
Rogue then asked "Who's doing this Shepard and I know who you are, heard about you on the news, you're the guy who went nuts talking about Reapers coming to kill us all. What happened did you finally go completely crazy, that would explain your absence for 2 years?".
Shepard ignored the comment and said "Thousands of people are being taken and its by the Collectors".
Aria suddenly said "The Collectors, Shepard here's some information you might like to read. I got from Blue Suns who met with a Collector here on Omega recently".
Aria handed Shepard an OSD and Rogue asked "Tell me Shepard why should I help you, I don't need much money, I make plenty on my own and frankly Cerberus is not in my good books right now at the moment. So honestly Shepard tell me what can you possibly offer me to get me help you in your mission?".
Shepard answered "You hate Cerberus, odd considering your past history with them, but I'll make you a deal Rogue, if you help me in my mission, I will help you take out Cerberus as best I can and give you access to the Cerberus databases on my ship. So what do you say?".
Rogue was silent for a few moments before he replied "I'll consider it Shepard, let me know where your ship is if I need to meet with you".
Shepard gave Rogue the coordinates and left the office and Aria asked "So tell me Shaw if that is your real name, who do you think told C-Sec about what was at the warehouse on the Citadel?".
Rogue answered "I don't know who Aria, but ask yourself this, if you were got rid of who would have the most to gain from you being gone here on Omega?".
With that Rogue stood up and left as Aria started to think over what she was just told and as Rogue walked over to the bar Grizz walked over to him and said quietly "Don't think that I don't know what you are doing. Aria might think you're her man right now, but remember I'm still the 1 who looks after things around here Shaw?".
Rogue smirked and said "At every moment in the galaxy things change constantly". Rogue then walked off and left the bar and as he followed some Blue Suns nearby and observed them get into a fight with Eclipse members he watched as both sides engaged in a shootout and after a few moments Rogue walked over to the surviving Eclipse members and shot them before them could do anything and deliberately left one of then alive as he whispered to the now blind Salarain "Know this alien scum the Roma 1 Mafia did this to you remember this for the rest of your life".
Rogue quickly headed off to the Normandy and just as Shepard and 2 Cerberus members were about to board the ship he yelled out "Hey!". As they turned to face him the assassin continued talking as he stepped out of the shadows "I thought about the offer Shepard and if its still available to get access to the Cerberus databases, then I'm in".
Shepard nodded and said "Glad to have you aboard Rogue, get your stuff and come back here in 3 hours we'll be leaving Omega then".
Rogue simply replied "Understood" as he walked off smiling to himself.
Citadel Flux bar
As John and Danny were drinking at the pub on a night off to unwind then received a communication from Andrew on Omega and they were told that Commander Shepard had recruited Rogue for some mission and Danny asked "What do we do now John?".
John answered "I don't really know or care what kind of mission that Shepard has recruited Rogue for that man has killed so many people, he has to die and if he needs Rogue then whatever he is facing has to be either Satan himself or pure evil. Now Rogue has to die he has to face justice for his crimes and no matter who gets in the way, we nail Rogue once and for all".
Danny didn't say a single word to his friend at all as he drank his drink.
Authors notes well that's chapter 9 completed please let me know what you think of it read and review no flames though ok.
