Cain awoke in a bed his vision was blurry but realised they hadn't been able to take his helmet off, he went to get up before realising he was secured to the bed

Shit, well at least I'm off earth his head was sore even with the helmet on but being hit with a butt of the gun is always going to hurt like hell, he became accustomed to his surrounding and noticed a women stood to the left of him with a data pad in her hand

"Were am I?" he croaked, then heard movement to the right as two marines pointed there guns at him "easy boys" he chuckled
the woman approached him she was shapely and was quite striking in her alliance uniform

"Welcome to the SS Normandy, I am specialist Traynor" the woman spoke

"pleasure to be aboard, thanks for the ride" he said seeing if she would bite at his crude comment

"no problem, our commander will be back in a few minutes, he will have a few question for you" as she said this the door opened as a man and an asari entered carrying a women whilst the big marine he had fought with earlier came in with some sort of robot on his shoulder as he threw it on the ground

"Traynor!" the man shouted, as the woman left Cain's side and rushed over to help secure the injured women onto the bed. The man stood up glancing at him before giving him his full attention as soon as he realised Cain was awake and made his way over to him.

"nice to see you're awake" he spoke with some unfriendliness in his voice

"thank you for not killing me, I take you are the commander of this vessel?" Cain inquired

"Commander Shepard alliance navy" he announced

"no shit, you're something of a hero commander" as Cain lay back in bed trying to feel more comfortable

"and you are?" the commander asked wishing to know who this helmeted man was

"You can call me Cain Commander, I apologise for sneaking onto your ship but the situation on earth..." as his voice trailed off as both of the men hung there head solemnly, Cain may be a bounty hunter but he was human after all he knew there would of been a lot of people who had died back there

"right now I want to trust you Cain but I find it hard when someone has a DNA lock on there helmet" said Shepard with a raised eyebrow whilst folding his arm's

"I will take it off commander but I cannot whilst I am tied to this bed, I wont try anything were can I run too after all" he chuckled

Shepard stood there for a moment before nodding and untying Cain from the bed, Cain stood and the marines behind him focused on him with there guns. Cain typed something into his omni-tool before pressing something on the side of his helmet as it made a hissing sound, as Cain lifted the helmet off placing it on the bed.

Shepard studied the human in front of him he was the same height as Shepard but looked younger, a lot younger he thought in fact Cain looked like a boy his head was shaved and he looked at Shepard with a boyish smile, but as Cain turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him Shepard noticed deep scars running from just behind his ear to his neck and raised his eyebrow's at them he recomposed himself as Cain looked back towards him and stuck out a hand, as Shepard took it and the two shook hands.

"I understand you're busy commander" nodding his head back to the asari and the alliance soldier who had been there when he had woken up as they were hooking up the women on the bed to a variation of drugs

"please go and do what you need to ill remain around, I'm sure these two can keep me company" nodding in the direction of the two alliance soldiers who had know holstered there weapons.

"thank you I'll come back later" as Shepard ran off to the other's

Cain lay back in bed and folded his arm's behind his head turning to the two soldiers

"Now,were the fuck did you guys put my guns?" smiling broadly as the men looked at each other reaching for there pistols.

"Understood admiral" Shepard saluted at the man in the QEC

"get it done commander, Hackett out" as the old man disappeared

"Joker, maintain course to the citadel get us there fast" as Shepard walked into the war room aboard the Normandy as he spotted Liara approaching him

"Liara, hows Ash?"

"She's stable but we need to get the citadel soon" she stressed to Shepard

"Quite the day, Cerberus agents, prothean device's, our stowaway!" Shepard lent against the table display in the middle of the room as he sighed deeply a lot had happened since they'd left earth but he knew there was more yet to come.

"Anyway Liara I need some info on our guest he called himself Cain, reckon you can find anything?"
Liara's eyes opened at the name and Shepard knew instantly she knew something

"Liara?"

"That name, came up a lot" she whispered "when the shadow broker was 'replaced' with the new one" Shepard briefly smiled to himself at the memory "he knew he wasn't speaking to the old broker when I contacted him, he didn't ask questions only stated that he didn't kill innocent and made his services available and he's been the main hit man I've used since then"

Shepard was little taken aback by this, the Cain he had met earlier seem'd only a boy but if liara had been using him he obviously knew what he was doing.

"perhaps we should go talk to him" Shepard nodded at the asari and they both made there way to the med-bay were they had left him
as they entered the room the two soldiers from earlier were sitting on chair in front of Cain bed laughing as Cain made hand gestures as Shepard caught the end of of Cain's sentence

"...so i fell though the window into an asari brothel when...ahh commander" as Cain had noticed the two enter as both the soldier stood bolt upright saluting Shepard

"could you leave us for a minute" Shepard looked at the guards as they saluted again and left
as the door shut Liara and Shepard looked back towards Cain who was not perched on a chair in front them his tattered robes swaying slightly as the air con filled the room.

"can I help you two?" he asked politely

"yes actually, what were you doing on earth when the reapers hit?" asked Shepard as he and liara sat down in front of Cain's who's face turned suddenly all business.
"I was contracted to kill a salarian merchant who had ties to some pirates in the terminus system, turns out slavery is still in business" he answered coldly, wondering where they were going with this

"Who gave you the job Cain?" asked liara her soft voice filling the room

Cain looked at her with a mischievous smile "I think you know who" staring straight at her. And Liara overcome by anger and the realisation of what he was implying stood up knocking the chain over as she glowed blue, whilst at the same time Cain had rolled over the back of his chair drawing two knives from his back

"If you've told anyone Cain, ill tear you apart" she shouted her body pulsating blue

"Liara, stop!" as Shepard rested a hand on her shoulder as she slowly calmed her self as the blue light faded away, her eyes however had never left Cain's. As the 'boy' stood up returning the blades back into the compartments in his back.

"I apologise Liara, I found out it was you that was one of the reason I continued my service with the shadow broker. All the people I killed under you were murderous scum and it was a joy to end them" as he bent down picking the his chair off the floor Liara slightly taken aback from his words "And don't worry I never told anyone about who you were just like I did the last broker"

"you knew who the last broker was!?" liara gasped

"It took me a while but I found out in the end, I only did about 5 jobs for him though, Yawg's are a little blood thirsty" he smirked at them
There was a silence for a while as the three of them looked from one to the other unsure were to go from here

"look Cain, the reapers are here there's no side any more its us and them we're going to have to pull together for this, I don't know who else I'm going to be able to get, we sure could use all the help we can get" as Shepard stood and gave Cain a very hard look as Cain looked back into Shepard's eyes

"Hell commander, the story's I heard about you and this ship" as he stood up grabbing his helmet off the bed and tucking it under his arm

"but seriously you're right if the reapers win this we loose everything" he said sternly as he slowly replaced the helmet on his head as it hissed closed and the eyes glowed blue "use me, as you will"
