"Commander welcome to the citadel we heard one of your crew is in need of medical attention we'll take them to Huerta immediately" as a fresh-faced alliance soldier stepped forward from the c-sec guards as two doctors took Ashley from the alliance soldiers and hurried her away.

"Thank you, please let udina and the council know that I've arrived there's much to discuss" as the solider nodded and quickly made his exit, Shepard turned back to Liara, Cain and a few other of Normandy staff.

"Liara meet outside the council chambers I'm going to go check if ash is stable ill meet you there, everyone else be ready we roll out soon as we're finished here" with that he turned and went after the doctors who had carried Ashley away. As the group dispersed Cain stood there and wondered what the hell should he do he'd only been to the citadel once that had been to kill someone, he hadn't really had time to wonder around last time. He began to walk forward before feeling a hand on his shoulder and turned to see the marine who had fought him in the hanger bay.

"Hey, Cain is it? said the soldier

"yea that right" said a very weary Cain as his eyes in the helmet turned yellow

"I'm James, James Vega" as the marine held an outstretched hand as Cain reached out and grabbed the marines hand giving him a strong handshake

"nice to meet you properly James" as his eyes returned to their blue colour

"yea sorry about that, but if you want to come down to the hangar I need a sparring partner" he chuckled "see you back here later anyway" he walked past Cain slapping him on the back as he walked off muttering something about a game of poker.

He seemed nice thought Cain at least I'm glad I don't have to kill him as he walked of towards the Presidium.

Cain walked the presidium his hood over his helmet his dark red almost black robes swaying as he walked he had stopped at a few stall's to look at some weapons upgrades but he saw nothing that interested him as he toward a rail leaning against it looking out towards the citadel an amazing sight he thought whoever had built this place did a good job of including the view.

"I'm surprised to find you here" came a voice beside him

"Liara, you weren't gone long" as Cain looked forward still marvelling the view

"It didn't take the council long to come up with the answer even with the information on the prothean device, but we have something were off to Palavens moon to get the turian primarch the Turians may appreciate the favour " she said hopeful

"favours for favours then, who'd of thought it" he said coldly

"Cain I did look through your file before we met when I went through the old brokers contacts, there's not much information on you, no doubt you had a hand in that" under the helmet Cain smiled to himself being a bounty hunter like he was it was a useful to keep as much information about himself under lock and key

"but I found that whilst the old broker was alive you asked him to help you find someone" as liara continued, Cain however froze and anger filled him he lowered his hood and turned to her the lights in his eyes glowing a fiery red.

"if you are after something Dr T'Soni I suggest you ask me directly" he said trying to be nice as possible but failing miserably as Liara looked at him a little worried

"Cain, you pestered the old broker about this, you're part of the Normandy now if I can help find this person I will..." as she was cut of my Cain

"If you find any information on this person let me know other wise please don't speak of this again"
as his voice now so cold Liara felt an unearthly chill, there was something about Cain unsettling feeling about how he could be smiling one moment like in the med-bay and know he spoke so coldly it was if he wasn't the same person. His robes ripped and torn were so thin they moved in the slightest of breezes as if they had a life of their own and this unsettled her more. He looked at her as his eyes in his helmet slowly returned to their neutral blue colour as both there omni tools went off

"We best get back to the Normandy" speaking aloud as he walked off not waiting for Liara

Liara watched him leave and then turned to her omni tool as she opened a file which contained information on a human teenage girl she had downloaded it from already depleted file, whoever Cyra Aufidius was she was someone Cain wanted finding.

Cain opened up with two M-9 tempests as husks rushed towards him as they fell to the floor he stood back to back with Vega as he began mowing down the husks that were unfortunate enough to come near them

"Liara! is the comm tower back online yet?" Shepard cried through his earpiece whilst bringing out his omni-blade thrusting it into a husk's chest before ripping the blade out through its shoulder showering the moon's surface in a mixture of blue flesh and reaper tech.

"Almost there I need a little longer!" she cried out

They had landed on palaven's moon only to be informed by a general corinthus that the primarch was dead and that they would have to turn the near by communications tower back on to get in touch with palaven command who would tell them who the next primarch was.
The reapers were there in force as husks ran everywhere and there seemed to be no end to their number as Shepard, James and Cain shot round after round into the these once human creatures

"this is pretty heavy, Loco" James cried out firing sporadically

"I got this" spoke Cain as he returned his tempest to there holsters walking to a group of incoming husks as they ran at him in a crazed frenzy with only the wish to tear him apart in their now reaper controlled mind's, Cain reached behind his back pulling out two knives

As the first husk approached Cain, he span to one side bringing the blade up to the creature's neck as the blade cut through the seems of its skin decapitating the creature, he didn't even look at it as it fell as he moved forward dancing his way through the husks as the blades cut through flesh and bone Cain couldn't help but smile, he enjoyed this, it was his sadistic pleasure.

The last husk ran at him as Cain plunged the blades into its chest as the creature looked up into his eyes, he thought he saw a flicker of humanity in the husk's eyes before it let out a blood-curdling scream that made him shiver, as he retracted the blades out before burying them into the husk's face with so much force half his hand ended up inside the creature head as he let the corpse fall to the floor
the three others looked at him as he turned around his hand covered in blue paste that was the husk's 'blood'

"General corinthus" Shepard smiled, "comms are back online we're heading back now" speaking through his earpiece

Cain isn't just some slick shit killer, he's a psychopath. I've already got a good idea about his past so that will come to light eventually. Though you could argue that Zaeed and jack are both psycho's in the game there pretty mellow all things considering (not an attack on the characters I think there both brilliant) but Cain loves killing, reckon he could ever settle down? fuck knows.

I really hope you're enjoying it anyway it's nice to write something fun yet with a dark side, cheers
