Hey guys. This is the third chapter in this story. Now, as I said last chapter, I won't be doing the shed scene because it's kind of boring. So I'm skipping to when they're inside the house, Clem talking to Luke and Nick. On a less serious note, who's watched suicide squad? What'd you guys think?
I don't own Walking Dead or Mass Effect.
Jane's POV:
Carlos was able to stitch up Jane's injuries pretty well. "You can clean yourself up in the bathroom upstairs." he said grumpily.
After Jane got all the blood off herself, she was about to put on her bloody undersuit when Pete showed up with a black hoodie and camo pants, with a pair of boots in his arms.
She smiled and said "Thank you Pete. That's very kind of you." He smiled back, nodded his head, and then walked to his room.
Jane turned around and looked at her tattered armor and looked to see if there anything salvageable. She took the dogtags and her arm bracers. She'd been thinking in the shower about what had happened to her. Why do the husks look like that? They're supposed to be blueish gray with wires. These ones look like they're rotting and look slightly human. She did know something. She was leaving this hellhole and she was taking Clementine with her. No child should have to go through this. She already had one kid's death on her conscience and she won't have another one.
Jane walked down to talk to her when she saw Rebecca. She has this bitchy, ice queen attitude that rivals Miranda's.
She walked into the kitchen with Luke as he said "Hey, you hungry?"
Clementine looked towards us and gave Jane a small smile. Jane walked over and sat next to Clementine while Luke sat across from them and gave Clementine the bowl. Clementine then indulged in the pleasures of eating safely.
Luke then broke the awkward silence. "That's gonna leave one hell of a scar."
Clementine glanced at it and replied "Better than losing it."
Luke snorted and said "Yeah. Scars, they're way cooler than stumps."
As soon as he said that, Clementine got this distant look in her eyes and looked down at the table.
Shepard noticed this and asked "What's wrong?"
Clementine just said "Nothing. I just remember a friend who lost his arm."
Luke then asked them "How long have you two known each other?" Jane said they hadn't known each other before that morning.
The door opened and a depressed looking Nick came in. He walked over to Shepard and Clementine and sat down on the table.
He then said to Clementine "Look, I'm sorry for what happened out there. I went totally agro out there, and that was not cool. Can you forgive me, Clementine?"
Clementine looked up at him and said "I forgive you, Nick."
Luke then started to tell us about the time when they brought someone who was bitten into the cabin. When they had turned, Nick's mom had been right there, and she died.
Clementine looked at him mournfully and said "Bad things have happened to everyone. I understand."
Nick smiled and walked towards the door.
Before he left, Jane said "I'm sorry for your loss."
Nick looked back and whispered "Thanks Shepard."
A few minutes after Nick left, Luke asked "So, where are the two from?"
Jane just said "I was a Commander in the Navy. I had a met a lot of people I called friends. There was this war and I lost a lot of them. An assassin who I knew as Thane died saving us. A doctor I knew sacrificed himself to right a wrong he had done. Someone we called Legion sacrificed himself to save his people. A brave man named Anderson died helping me. He was one of the bravest men I ever knew. My father died when I was younger. When I enlisted, Anderson took me under his wing. He was like a father to me."
Luke then looked at Clementine and said "What about you? Where are your parents? I mean if you don't mind me asking. I mean, you're just so young. To think that you were out there alone."
Clementine looked at him and said "They died."
Luke got this sad look in his eyes and said "That's tough. My folks are dead too."
Clementine got that distant look again as she said "My parents went on vacation and left me with a babysitter. We went to Savannah to find them, but they were already dead. This man found me and took care of me. We met up with a group of survivors and we all tried to make it, but it didn't work. His name was Lee. He taught me how to survive. He's the reason I keep my hair short."
Luke then asked "So, what happened to him?"
Clementine then said "I killed him. He got bitten protecting me and I had to kill him before he turned. I had to."
Jane then got up and gave Clementine the hug she was silently asking for. "It's okay, Clementine. No one blames you."
Clementine looked up at her with tears in her eyes and smiled up at Jane "Thank you Jane."
Jane then smiled and let Clementine eat her dinner.
A few minutes later, Clementine was laying next to Jane with a protective arm around her, going into a blissful sleep.
The Next Day
The next morning, Pete had taken Nick and Clementine fishing. Then they heard gunshots in the direction of the river.
Jane felt her biotics rise in anger and protectiveness and got up to grab a gun. Luke and her rushed to the door with their guns when Alvin asked if he could join them.
Jane immediately shook her head and said "No Alvin. You have your family to think about. Luke and I will search for them."
Rebecca looked at her with gratefulness in her eyes.
With that, Luke and Jane set off to find the trio before it was too late.
There's one thing you needed to know about Jane Shepard. If you were her ally, she would help you. If you were her friend, she would die for you. But if you were a threat... then God help you.
Next time on The Walking Dead:
Run!
Someone's outside.
Did he say his name?
We know damn well who it was!
Just calm down!
I thought you were dead.
So what do you guys think? I did use that line from Halo: Fall of Reach. It sounded totally badass in that. Please tell me what you think. You guys also haven't commented on the story ideas. Please get back to me soon.
