Mass Effect Shepard Rise's.
Shepard could feel Tali shaking even as his arms wrapped tighter around her slim waist, pulling back slightly he looked into her glowing eyes hidden away inside her purple tinted mask "What's the matter? Are you okay?" he watched as Tali shoulders slumped and she pushed herself away from him and turned her back to him.
"I-I t-thought I c-could…" she broke off and quickly looked for something to occupy her attention with.
"Hey it's okay tell me what's the matter?" he stepped towards her and placed his hand on her shoulder she was shaking at first and then tensed.
"I-I t-thought I c-could d-do it b-but I c-can't"
He turned her around slowly and looked into her luminous eyes he slowly wrapped in arms around her and spoke slowly "is this about showing your face?" he watched as Tali lowered her head and then nodded.
"I-I'm sorry."
He could hear her crying softly, his heart broke at the sight and he squeezed her tighter into his embrace "its ok I don't want to push you into it." He felt as she melted into his embrace and squeezed him as if her life depended on it with Tali wrapped around him crying he slowly guided them both to the bed were they collapsed onto it.
Cronos station.
The illusive man sat in his chair taking a drag of his cigar a man in a white and gold Cerberus suit stood to his side filling a glass with ice and scotch.
"Will that be all sir?" the man asked with a slight bow.
The illusive man turned to the man and nodded "yes" he said and turned back to his terminal pulling up three different screens each showing different angles of a girl with short brown hair and full lips painted with brown lip stick and crystal clear blue eyes, he reaches for the com-link button and hits it "Is Miranda back?" he asks.
"Yes sir only just arrived should I send her to your office sir?" asked a young female.
"Yes please do." He cuts the connection and sits back in his chair looking at the picture of the young woman on screen. A few minutes later and the door behind him opens and Miranda walks into the room her hair slightly out of place and dried blood on her face "Miranda tell me do you recognise this woman?" he asks and point to the three pictures being projected by an Omni-screen he hears a gasp.
"Y-yes that's Oriana"
He nodded "Good to see your memory is still perfect, now as you're my best agent I'm going to give you one warning, if you fail Cerberus again all the protection I have in place around her will go and your father will surely find her, do we understand each other?" he asked and took a drag of his cigar with his right hand and swirled his scotch with his left.
"Perfectly Sir." Miranda replied with gritted teeth.
The illusive man nodded and took a swig of the cool scotch "Good." He waved her away and looked back at the young woman on screen before cutting the connection and opening a com-link to one of his projects and waited for the lead scientist.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting Sir." The reply came after a minute or so.
"Understandable now give me an update on project Dragon." He asked as he stood and walked to the window to overlook the star below.
"With have some results re-engineering the nanites from the dragons teeth, we have been able to create our own version of them using test subjects we injected them into the blood stream and watched as infections and cuts were healed, with more time and funding I believe we can use them to cure many known diseases and terminal cancers."
The illusive man nodded "good and what of huskifaction?"He took another sip of his scotch and walked back to his chair.
"Unknown at this time sir we don't know if the Dragons teeth send some sort of signal or if it's the reapers."
"You better get to it then." With that he cut the connection and rubbed his temples with a free hand with the reapers technology as our own human dominance is assured. He thought with a smile as he turned and looked back at the pulsating star outside.
SSV Normandy.
John and Tali lay together on the bed in the cabin their legs were wrapped around each other he had on hand on his chest holding Tali's three digit hand in and the other hand was wrapped around her thigh as he squeezed her close to him, unhooking his hand from Tali's on his chest and off her thigh he sat up and went to pull off his black skin tight T-shirt but before he could pull it from over his head two three digits hands stopped him.
"Wait, can you see anything?" Tali asked in a near whisper her voice still shaky from crying.
"N-no why?" he felt as Tali hands travel to his toned chest and follow the lines of muscle.
"Lean back down." Tali asked as she straddles him her legs placed either side of his body.
Shepard smiled at the position they found themselves in but couldn't find the words to say anything, he feels as Tali runs her hands up his chest to his face and pull his shirt up just enough so his mouth is free her thumb runs across his lips.
Tali's hands travel back down his face to his chest were they feel his hard peaks and six pack following the lines of each muscle sometimes drawing a laugh from Shepard as she found a ticklish spot.
Suddenly the hands disappeared and Shepard began to miss them until he heard a soft hiss and panic began to set in "Tali what are you doing?" he asked and tried to sit up but Tali's hands stop him, a sweet soft voice sounds out and Shepard finds himself loving the voice from the moment he hears the first word.
"T-trust me John." A voice above him said.
He nodded and stopped his attempts to sit up cool breath tickled his face as he felt Tali lean down and take a deep breath.
"You smell really good and don't worry I'm swimming in anti-biotic's."
Tali's hands found themselves back on his toned chest slowly moving upwards towards his face and lightly holding the side of his face.
A pair of soft lips met his they were slightly cooler than human lips and really soft almost like silk he opened his mouth and was rewarded with a thin tongue running across his, he and Tali both let out a moan as the tongues continued their slow and intimate dance he could feel the heat building inside him but forced it down now was not the time he had to take this slow, he could tell he was Tali first kiss and allowed her to set the pace, her tongue was longer than that of a human but not overly longer and was cooler too.
He could feel warm drops of water drip onto his face and he tried to pull back but Tali gripped his head tightly, he could feel his lungs begging for breath and he forced Tali to pull back as he gasped for air he could hear Tali doing the same as they both took large gulps of air, once he calmed down enough he spoke "Tali why are you crying?" his answer was in that sweet soft voice that didn't have the normal electronic sound to it.
"I-I'm sorry I'm just happy but now I have to go back to my prison."
"Wait" he blurted out as he felt Tali shift on him reaching for her Mask, he blindly reached out with his right hand until he found Tali's hood and followed it until he felt her soft and cool face in his hand.
"You are so warm." Tali said as she pushed her face into Shepard's warm hand.
He ran his hand across her face wiping away her tears "we will do this again I promise." He pulled back his hand and waited until he heard a soft click before he pulled her shirt off his head and threw it across the room.
He pulled Tali back to him and pulled the blanket over their bodies as they both settled down leaning on each other.
Cronos station, Miranda's office.
Miranda sat in her office fuming this was here first failure in her many years in Cerberus and the illusive man had threatened that which was most dear to her, how could he be such a dick to her after the many successes on the projects she was station in and he had snapped at her.
She took a shaky breath and refused to allow the tears she was holding in to shed, she reached into her desk draw and pulled out a jack Daniels bottle and a glass, she filled it with the liquid and drank it all in one go grimacing as the liquid burnt her throat.
Being perfect had its benefits but one of the curses was her body burnt through the alcohol quicker than that of the average person so to make up for it he had to drink twice as much, downing another drink she slammed the glass on the desk and smashing it in her hand, she lifted up her hand and found a number of small cuts across her hand had she made a mistake working for Cerberus could she have done something different shaking her thoughts away she stood and walked into her bathroom to clean the cut.
Once she washed the blood away and cleaned out the small pieces of glass she covered her hand in medi-gel and wrapped a small bandage around her hand and sat back down at her desk, she opened up her terminal she had work to do.
Citadel.
Captain Anderson sat in Udina's chair with a smile the Normandy had shot away from the citadel with ease no other ships had followed, he looked down at Udina still slumped on the floor his ass was in the air and a small puddle of drool was leaking out his mouth his right eye was as big as a balloon and was sporting a lovely black eye.
The door in front of him opened and two turian C-sec officers came running in with their weapons raised "it's okay guys I surrender." He stood up and raised his hands in the air as he stepped around the desk on the way he kicked Udina in the stomach making him turn over onto his back with a grunt.
He stepped in front of the officers and slowly got onto his knees and offered no resistance as they grabbed his still raised hands and cuffed him with Omni-cuffs and lead him out the room.
SSV Normandy.
Garrus sat in the mess hall he had tried to sleep but found he couldn't he need to spar and work out his energy or do something on a Turian ship he could try his Talons at contact sparring but he wasn't on a Turian ship but a human one, a sigh escaped him and he slumped further into his chair.
A door behind him opened and he looked over his shoulder as Liara came out the med-bay holding a number of books in her slim arms.
"Hello Garrus can I join you?" she asked as she stepped up by the table.
He nodded and pointed to a chair in front of him "Sure be my guest so what you got there?" he asked pointing to the pile of books now placed on the table.
"Just my old notes I'm looking through them again to see if I can find any more information on illos."
Garrus nodded and placed his elbows on the table "any luck?" he watched as Liara shook her head.
"I'm afraid not, anyway what are you doing up?"
He sighed again and scratched behind his neck "too much energy to rest, need to doing something anything really." He watched as Liara eyes sparkled in mischief and a smile spread on her lips "What?"
"Oh nothing" a blush spreads her face and she quickly dives back into a book muttering as she goes.
