Mass Effect Shepard Rises.
Tali was angry and confused it had been two days since Shiala gave John the prothean knowledge it was two days of personal hell she looked at john as he lay in the make shift med-bay he was tied down he had straps going across his chest, arms and legs, what concerned her the most was when he did awake it was like looking at a different person a few of the ground team had been attacked by him using biotic's she had never seen, it took both Liara and kaidan to create a shield to protect everyone, she heard the door open and watched as Garrus walks in holding his side " how is he? Any change?"
" no none, he keeps mumbling but I have no idea what he's saying." she sighed and grabs hold of johns hand and squeezes.
"don't worry Tali, he will pull through." Garrus says and places a talon on her shoulder and gives it a quick squeeze, feels him turn round but before he can leave she turns to him "thank you Garrus." she watches him nod and looks over his shoulder "you like him don't you Tali?" she lowers her head and sighs "yes I do he is the first person to treat me as an equal not like some thief and vagrant." she see's him nod and walks out.
Not long after Garrus left doctor Chakwas walks in with Liara and kaidan in tow "Tali dear you should get some rest." she looks at the doctor and shakes her head "I cant," she watches as Chakwas walks up to the monitors and scans john with her Omni-tool "well how is he doctor?" Tali asks "he is perfectly fine his shoulder is healed but I'm still picking up abnormal brains waves, its similar to when he first received the vision on Eden Prime," Tali nods "when will he wake up?" she feels as the Chakwas places her hand on her arm "that's up to him dear now go get some rest doctors orders." she sighs and moves to a bed across the room and lies down and closes her eyes.
Shepard felt confused he was surrounded by blackness but at the same time he could see lives and being he assumed were prothean's pass before his eyes, sometimes he would be a child growing up learning about biotic's and how to fight, other times he was an adult living with his wife and children, it was all every confusing it was like living several different lives all at once, he didn't know how long had past but through the darkness a light started to glow brighter and brighter until he eyes shot open.
He looked around he could see several monitors above and around him each displaying different things as he moved on he saw he wasn't on the Normandy but rather in a prefab colony building as his senses slowly returned to him he could feel a weight on his chest raising his head and looking down he see's the top of Tali's head, he tries to raise his hand but finds it doesn't move looking from Tali to his hand he notices he's tied to the bed he looks back at Tali, he starts to shake his chest and wiggle about "Tali, wake up?" he says he feels Tali reach out and squeeze him harder "Tali" he says louder and watches as her head shoots up and looks sleepily round the room until her eyes meet his "j-john" he releases a breathe he didn't know he held "yes what happened? Why am I tied to the bed?" he asks.
"don't you remember?" he shakes his head "the last thing I remember is Shiala meld with me, hm after that I…." he trails of as the images of different people flash in his mind, he shakes his head to clear his thoughts and looks in Tali's glowing eyes full of concern for him "after that I don't remember much until just waking up now." he watches as Tali nods "I better go get Chakwas she.. We have all been worried about you," with that he watches as Tali gets up and runs out the room. He sighs and lowers his head.
Tali runs across the yard to find the ground team and Chakwas all huddled in a circle "doctor" she shouts as she reaches her "calm down Tali what's the matter?" she takes a deep breathe "it's Shepard he's awake." she says "ok Tali lets go." her and the doctor make there way back to the make shift med-bay.
Shepard was getting worried Tali had been gone a few minutes now and hadn't returned just what the hell is going on and why am I tied down he was pulled from his thoughts when the door opened and Tali, Chakwas, Liara and Kaidan walk in the latter two glowing with biotic power "hey doctor what the hells going on?" he says as they slowly approach "you have been out for two days commander, we were worried you were lost to us what do you remember?" Chakwas says, he sighs "I remember Shiala melding with me, after that I don't know its hard to describe." he says "try commander we need to know." he looks at Chakwas and nods "ok, best I can describe it as it was like living many lives all at the same time," he says
"yes that would be the Cipher?" he looks pasts Chakwas to Liara "the what?" he says confused "Shiala gave you the Cipher it was a way to make you think like a prothean, she said it was the collective knowledge of hundreds of prothean's the Thorian absorbed when they died, Shiala found it difficult to explain," he nods and looks back at Chakwas "can you release me now doctor," he says and watches as Chakwas scans him one last time and nods "yes hold still." he watches as she undo's the straps holding him down, he slowly stands up and stretches his cramped muscles as he doing that he feels the world spin and he staggers a bit before regaining his balance "you ok commander" he looks at Chakwas as nods "yeah just dizzy" he watches her nod "yeah I imagine your hungry to," he looks at her for a minute and nods "yes I am really hungry," he watches her nod "good now the down side," he looks back at the doctor as she paces the room "what's wrong?"
He watches as Chakwas stops and looks at him "there's no easy way to say this so I'm just going to say it." he nods at her to continue "well you're a biotic now, your implant that you got after Akuze the one you thought didn't work well it does," he looks at her dumbfounded he looks around at the other people in the room, he slowly raises his hand and looks at it, he concentrates on it willing it bath in biotic power when a jolt runs through him and his hand glows purple like on fire he moves his hand and flexes his fingers "why is it purple?" he asks "well commander that we not sure off." he looks at Kaidan who walks to the end of the room and kicks a bin over "lift this back up. don't worry me and Liara will create a shield so no other harm can come to anybody." he looks at both Liara and Kaidan as they both raise there hands and a shield forms "remember your using a muscle you never knew you had will it into the air." he nods at Kaidan and looks at the bin he raises his still glowing hand and wills the bin into the air, at first nothing happens he tries again and feels a jolt of electric run through him and the bin glows purple and floats in the air.
As the bin floated in mid air he pulls his hand back and pushes it forward a green orb shoots from his hand and starts to eat away at the bin, "just what the hell was that commander?" he looks at Kaidan "what do you mean" he asks slightly confused "that was no biotic attack I have ever seen, what about you Liara, "no I'm sorry Kaidan." as they are talking he looks at his hand still glowing purple he looks at Tali who eyes are wide with wonder. He slowly walks outside followed by Tali and Chakwas "take me to Shiala we need to talk?" he says.
After a short walk to the other side of the colony he finds Shiala surrounded by his remaining squad mates "Shiala what have you done to me?" he says as she slowly stands on her feet "I'm sorry commander when I gave Saren the Cipher I was under the Thorian's control which only gave him what he needed, with you I didn't know what I had done until you collapsed forgive me?" she says as he watches her bow low "don't bow Shiala I am not some higher being," he says as she rises "no commander you are not, you are so much more you might not understand yet but after you have rested you will understand." he nods "so what shall I do with you?" he says "if you permit it I would like to stay here and help the colony, there is much I did while under the Thorian control that I am not proud of" he paces while looking at her "if I leave you here you will cause no more harm" he points a finger and his body glows purple as it surges with power "OK" he looks as her eyes widen in fear and raises her hands in surrender "ok commander I swear." he nods and activates his com "listen up ground team pack up its time to leave." and with that he leaves for the Normandy.
As the Normandy flew away from Feros Tali stood in engineering looking at the drive core spin and flash with the blue of eezo as the Normandy sped it way to the citadel, it was just a after third shift only a few people were up at this hour including her she still couldn't sleep the ship was just so quiet, she sighed and rested her hands on her helmet when she heard a bang she looked around for the source but it wasn't here, she heard the bang again it was coming from the cargo bay, she walks through the doors to see John glowing purple all over as Garrus stood in front of him with a pistol raised, she watched as John nodded and Garrus shot John point blank she rushes over "what are you doing you stupid Bosh'tet?" she glares at Garrus who shrugs "it was his idea." he says pointing a talon at John.
"oh yeah that's right blame me." she glares at John who raises a glowing hand and runs it down her arm sending tiny ripples as he goes "can you feel that." her eyes shut and she nods "Hm" she says as a heat starts to build up in her. "well we better get some rest before we hit the citadel tomorrow Liara wants to scramble my mind again." she hears him say and her eyes shoot open she watches as Garrus nods and jumps into the Mako his feet sticking out the door, she turns back to John who flashes her a smile "well night Tali." she nods and blushes "y-yes night John." as they both make there way to the elevator.
