Alright guys here we go again. I'm sorry for the slowness of me but school started this week... And I have 12 forms due by tomorrow and I only have 5 so I'm locked myself in the studio. I should have time tonight to get a chapter for each of my stories down and shipped off to betas. So sit tight I'm not go I promise.

Disclaimer: If I owned Bioware or even Mass Effect I would have Brandon Keener voice over everything in my life... Always...

Garrus sat at the table in the debriefing room with John. The trip out of the Blue Sun base had been quick and easy. And with a simple stop at the hole in the wall that Jane had called home to collect her things they had found themselves back at the Normandy. John and Garrus had went straight to the debriefing room while Jane went to shower and change.

While they waited for Jane Garrus told John the story of how he had found himself on Omega and how he became Archangel. It had been a somewhat short story, Garrus still not ready to go into a great amount of detail. So now they sat and waited for Jane, once she got their they would both get Johns explanation so he didn't have to go through it twice.

Garrus let his gaze move to John who now sat in thought, and if Garrus knew John he was thinking over what he had just told him. Not wanting to cause his friend distress on his behalf he decided to distract him.

"So a sister, huh?"

John looked up to Garrus and it took a minute before a smile spread across his face and he looked back towards hi hands. "Yeah, a little sister. She is almost two years younger than me."

Garrus nodded in effort to show he understood. Shifting his weight he moved to lean forward on the table. "So why haven't I heard about her before this?"

John raised his shoulders slightly as he looked back towards his friend. "It never really mattered before now. She was still in school during our hunt for Saren so she really didn't come up in conversation."

Garrus raised a brow slightly as he looked towards his friend again. "School? I didn't think that human were in school that long..." If that was true then why wasn't John still in school? Did he skip it in favor of the military?

John laughed slightly and shook his head. "First she was in the military with me. Joined right when she hit 18 and made mother proud. She worked up the ranking fast and was competing close to my standing. Then a few years after she joined she dropped out and decided to go to medical school. She took the long way too, learning not only human but xeno-biology as well."

"That's because I didn't want to treat someone based on the color of their blood." The door opened as she spoke and stepped into the room. As the doors shut behind her she pointed over her shoulder to the door. "That thing is why to easy to hear through. You should really look into sound proofing it."

Garrus took a moment to look over Johns sister now that she was cleaned up. At the Blue Sun base she had been dressed in an oversized shirt and pair of pants and covered in blood and dirt. Now that she was clean he could really see the similarity between her and John.

Her hair seemed more lighter now that it was free of all the grim and the top half was pulled back to to be held back at the nape of her neck, the rest of it curls to just below the shoulders. Her eyes that light blue that seemed to not be able to decide if they wanted to be gray or not.

Now Garrus didn't have a human fetish or anything but he had been around humans enough to know what they found to be attractive, and he had to say she was a fine example. Narrow waist that feed into sturdy hips. She held muscles in the right spot showing that she was good in a fight. He was unsure still though on what humans found to be the best size of the female chest since it seemed to vary between males, and some females. Her chest was not overly huge but it was clear that they were there.

He now took a moment to look at what she wore. Half of her neck down to her hips was covered with what looked to be under armor, tight black fabric that fit like a second skin. Her arms were bare all the way to her shoulder, showing off a small cluster of stars tattooed on one of her shoulders. She wore a vest that looked military issued that stopped right under her chest and was zipped to right below her collar bone. Around her neck over the black fabric hung a doubled up silver chain. Hanging from it were a pair of dog tags as well as what looked to be turian tags which cause Garrus to raise a brow plate.

Her hips were covered by a pair of shorts that matched her vest and went about one third of the way down her thigh. Her feet were covered by black laced up boots. Around her waist was a belt that held a blade strapped in the back at the small of her back. Garrus almost laughed as he looked at the blade. It had been a while since anyone he had seen brought a blade into battle. He gave her a small nod as she moved over to jump on the table near John, looking to him.

"So were you really dead or were you on some secrecy mission and could say?" Garrus had to smile at her frankness about the matter. His attention turned to John, also interested in the answer.

John raised a hand to rub the back of his neck. "Yeah I was dead, spaced out of the old Normandy. But Cerberus needed someone to run around and save the galaxy so they spent two years putting me back together and back to life."

Garrus gave a nod, accepting the impossible and looked to Jane who had raised her brow at her brother. "So Cerberus Frankenstein-ed you... I guess I'll let them have a point for that. So the plan is to what?"

He smiled and nodded, leaning back in his chair. "Put a team together and fight the Collectors. They are abducting human colonist without a trace."

She raised her brow slightly before jumping off the table. "Well I'm coming with you. You might need a field medic."

John now shook his head as he sat forward. "Cerberus has put a list together. I came to Omega to pick up to of the members. Garrus.." He looked over to Garrus who gave a nod. He was glad John didn't state that at first John didn't know he was picking up Garrus, but Archangel needed to die with his men. No reason to bring him up. "And the other is a medic, a Doctor Solus."

Garrus nodded as he looked to John. "I've heard of him. Kinda crazy guy but a good guy. Has a clinic in the bad part of town." Garrus was interrupted by Jane giving a small snort.

Jane now placed her hands on her hips and laughed as she looked to John. "You're talking about Mordin, right? Believe me you might want me along simple to translate. I've been working with him at the clinic for a better part of a year now. And sometimes I still have no idea what he is saying." She laughed as her arms rose to cross in front of her in defiance.

John raised his brows to her as he stood, bracing his hands on the table. "You know doctor Solus?" He held his hand up to stop Jane as she opened her mouth to speak. "How about you just fill me in on what the hell you have been doing and why you are on this shit rock. Last I heard you were in the process of being placed on a ship as the assistant medic. What happened?"

Jane gave a small growl as she narrower her eyes. Garrus kept quite, sensing a sibling argument coming along. "You died. That's what happened. You died and left behind everyone. Left me. I tried to stay with the Alliance but I couldn't do it. They started to plaster your face all over the recruitment centers, 'Join the Alliance and save the galaxy just like John Shepard.' It wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't of dragged everything you did through the mud. Said it was all Saren and you must have been indoctrinated like he was into believing there are spooky big bad reapers. It was just to much to bare. So I left."

John seemed to have cooled a little as he sat back in the chair looking to his hands. "But why Omega, Jane? It dangerous."

She gave a small laugh as she raised her shoulder. "A place swarming with scum that won't be missed, like Blood Pack members, and it was around here that people had rumors of what happened to you. Joker told me it wasn't the geth. I wanted answers so I chanced them. After a while it just became my first non ship home, after the answers became fewer and fewer."

Garrus nodded and felt it was okay for him to speak. "Yeah it was about the same for me. Couldn't take C-Sec anymore and all the bullshit the Council was spitting out. So I came to the place I could make a difference."

Jane smirked and gave a small chuckle. "You can try all you want on Omega but you can make a difference. The only people that were making some kind of dent was Archangels team." Her eyes moved to the ground, sadness apparent in them as she gave a sad little laugh. "But they are all dead now. It seems if you try to dent Omega, you get dented right back."

Garrus had to swell a little at her mention of him making a difference but then deflated slight
y at the mention of his teams death. He was about to say something before John stepped in and spoke first.

"Jane... You say that a little personally... Did you know Archangel?" His eyes moved to Garrus who gave him a small shake. If he had known John sister was on the rock would he have found her? The answer would be hell yes. He might not have made himself known but he sure as hell would have made sure that she was safe. Jane smiled and pulled him out of thought as she spoke.

"No not Archangel. One of his members I knew. He was one of the only ones on Omega who knew who I am. He came to me apparently right before he started to work with Archangel for a quick look over. He was a kind guy and didn't share a lot. He started to come by and visit every so often to talk since I knew no one on Omega but for Mordin. He talked about how he got a job he really liked and was doing good. It didn't take long for me to piece together what was going on. Visits becoming few and more cautious. When he would come he would sometimes be injured."

She laughed slightly as as looked to the floor with a sad smile. "When I confronted him about it he was so in denial it was almost funny. But I got it out of him. He knew me, knew who I was. He knew he could trust me." She gave a small sigh as she looked up to John who gave her a small reassuring smile.

"How did he know your name? That's not something you normally broadcast. Did you start going by it again?"

She smiled as she raised a hand to run through the lose part of her hair. "No I still keep it on the down low. He found me one night trashed in Afterlife. It was your birthday so I was celebrating." She raised a hand in a mocking toast. "I told him that you had died after saving the galaxy. Talked about how someone so mighty could be snuffed out by a simple thing like a hole. He figured it out real easy. And I guess it didn't take those around me long either. I really wasn't keeping to quite about it."

She looked away from them and put her hands on the table. "The Blue Suns came for me one night after I was walking home from Mordin's clinic. At first I thought they needed me to fix up the holes Archangel was putting in them. But they kept me even after I stabbed one of their leading guys in the neck. So I assumed it was because of who I was but I was wrong again. Just a few days ago they came in and said once they finished taking out Archangel and his team I would have served my use and would be disposed of once they were all back from the final push. So it seems they found out about my friendship and wanted to get information from me. Or hell even use me to get in I guess." She gave a small huff as she looked to John and Garrus.

Garrus gave her a small smile as he processed her story. She knew one of his men? He couldn't figure out which one. There were a few that were sociable and could be friendly. And right up until things started to get heavy they were all free to do as they please on their own time. So it could have been any of them really. He looked to John who seemed to be in thought. Finally he spoke as he placed his fist clasped together in from of his face and elbows on the table.

"Jane you can come with us to pick up the doctor. After that we will have to see if there is problem with you coming along or not. So we will have to see about that."

Garrus stood and stretched slightly. "When do we move out Shepard?" John shook his head as he looked up towards Garrus. "Sorry Garrus but not this time. Doctor Solus is in a quarantine area sealed off to a plague that infects everyone but for humans. I can't risk you this early in the mission."

Garrus was about to say something to argue but a small hand on his arm stopped him. He looked down to Jane who was smiling to her brother. "When I was taken Mordin was close to a cure. Knowing him it should be done. If you want him with us like you use to say he always was thapen it should be fine. Its slow so he would really feel all the effects until he has been in it for over 24 hours."

Garrus couldn't help but smile at the girls help. He looked to John with a smirk and a tilt of the head. "Come on Shepard, if I can catch a rocket with my face I'm sure I can handle a cough."

John chuckled as he shook his head, holding up his hands. "Okay okay you can come along. We will move out in an hour."

Jane smiled and slowly pulled her hand away from Garrus, who had forgotten it was there. "Good that gives me enough time to go say hi to Joker." She turned to go but was stopped now by a turian hand on her arm. She looked to the hand then up to its owner. His mandibles fluttered slightly in unease as he tried to put the understanding he felt in his gaze.

"The Archangel team member you knew... who was it? His name?" She offered him a sad smile as she looked into his eyes. Slowly she placed a hand on his, gave it a small squeeze before pulling out o his grasp. "Dose it matter? They are all dead now. It won't change anything. It won't bring them back." With that she turned and moved out of the room. They sat for a moment until they heard the outer door shut signaling that she had entered the armory. Garrus turned to look at John.

"You know you should tell her, who you are I mean. You both are feeling a similar pain. It may help. It may also help that she has been there before."

Garrus shook his head as he looked to John. "Maybe John. But not now." John shook his head and stood placing his hands on the table. He stood for a moment before he spoke, face looking towards his hands. "Hey Garrus, can I ask you a favor?"

Garrus almost laughed as he moved over to lean on the table beside John. "Of course Shepard, anything you need."

John nodded as he looked up towards the door. "Will you help me keep an eye on Jane. Not just on the battle field. I mean of course there, she is as hardheaded as I am and likes to be up close with her enemy, she can get a little to focused on one spot and not notice what's going on around her. But also just around. She is trusting like I am, but sometimes she trust to much. Its gotten her in trouble with boys before, picking the wrong ones and getting her heart broke." He sighed as he looked up to John. "I just... if she wants to come with us, which she probable will be, I don't need her being in an emotional state because of a guy. I would like you to help me keep her safe."

Garrus chuckled as he bumped Johns shoulder with his before pushing off the table. "Shepard I understand. I have a little sister too, and I have yet to meet the guy good enough for Sol." He smirked as he moved towards the door. "I'll watch her, don't worry. Now I think I can squeeze in a few calibrations before we have to move out.

John simply laughed as he waved his friend away. As Garrus left he pondered with Jane and John had both said. John had said he she talk to Jane. As he moved into the CIC his eyes moved down towards the cockpit where Jane stood talking to Joker. And as he lived up to his name Jane had her head back laughing at so,etching he had said. Garrus gave a small smile and turned to the elevator. If he ever found her alone, then he would tell her.
