After I got dressed in the clothes I wore before bed after the ball, I looked to see the N7 foot locker... Curiosity was going to kill me one of these days, I knew. With my right hand I reached for it only to get another static shock that hurt my fingers as they were numb for a short bit. I cursed softly so I wouldn't wake Kaidan nearby who might have been still sleeping in my room. I decided to return to the kitchen to make breakfast. Kaidan came out of my room, "Smells good Hansen."

"Thanks, and please call me Mel, remember."

"I'll try but I can't make any promises... are you ok?" He asked as he saw me massaging my fingers on my right hand as I took a short break from cooking.

"Yeah I touched the foot locker earlier, my fingers got a tad numb when I got shocked again."

"Let me see."

"Ok fine," spoke giving him my right hand to examine.

"It looks fine, I don't know if my first aid program on my omni tool would work in this time era."

"You never tried it?"

"Didn't risk it out in the open, besides I wasn't sure how people react seeing it appear then disappear."

"Smart move."

"Wouldn't hurt to try it though."

"After breakfast?"

"Oh right need any help?"

"Maybe with that armor later."

"Sure. Hey how about this, we make sure we have fun today ok?"

"Ok, I'm debating if I should wear the redhead wig like I did when you found me at the convention."

"How about as yourself?"

"What about Savick's goons?"

"Mel it's too much of a risk, it's open to very public and besides the volunteers check the props very thorough at the doors. They'd have to be disguised as official police officers to bypass them."

"Right we're not supposed to have handguns on them in public events like this, except for the prop guns part as long as they don't have anything in them that can cause injuries we're good."

"Exactly, Savick would be a fool to go after you again."

"Besides I did that twice, one of which he might not know of."

He smiled as we finished eating breakfast then suited up for Hal-con, well he finished but me? Well I had no idea how to put everything on besides the jumpsuit.

"Um Kaidan a little help here, please I don't know where to start." I asked when he came out of my room to see me in the jump suit, "It didn't come with instructions."

He chuckled, "Sure."

It didn't take him long as he instructed as he helped me putting the armour on... But to be honest I felt as If I was watching the scene in the Last Samurai when Tom Cruise get's his samurai armour on by the lady that nursed his wounds... During this time I felt very tempted to just screw the con and take him into my room... No the con must go on, I need this... Or was I just fooling myself?

Hal-Con...

We had been photo bombed all day as I found myself finally having fun.

"Commander, Kaidan, a photo please?" asked a fangirl.

"Sure," I said.

"Yeah sure," He said as he had made his voice slightly different to his actual self.

"Something romantic I don't want a action photo."

"Oh," I said as I looked at the fan.

"Easy enough." Kaidan spoke, as he wrapped his arms around me, then he placed his forehead on mine as he smiled looking into my eyes... I was feeling pretty warm as I saw the flash.

"Wow, you two are awesome together, thanks." said the fangirl.

"You're welcome." we both said, I waited for the fangirl to leave as I whispered a confession to Kaidan, "I was so tempted to kiss you last night."

He looked into my eyes and smiled, "Really?"

"Yeah." I spoke, "To be honest I can't really believe that this is happening but, it feels like we've already developed a relationship and yet we haven't."

"I know it does feel weird."

"So how are we going to proceed from here?" I asked, "I don't like the friends with benifits stuff."

"Me neither. How about we stick to being friends that work together?"

"And being good sports about it?"

"I'd think that could work."

"Yeah I feel that could work too." I said, "Alright now that we cleared the air let's a little fun."

The convention ended on a good note... At least something went normal for once this week. Chances are Savick must have got the hint I got help from well the Normandy. Kaidan and I reached back as I saw the General and Commander Hadfield was waiting for us.

"Hansen, you'd might want to look at these." said Wadup as he gave me a usb drive as I hooked it up to a tablet as I looked at it.

"I asked a few favors," said Com. Hadfield, "NASA was able to confirm that the things you called the Reapers came from away from our solar system."

I looked at some video footage as I saw Savick with... No is that Cerberus forces that had been turned to reaper like Husks? "Here take a look."

"Actually I downloaded it," He said as I saw him watching the footage on his omni-tool, "I was working on a program to adapt to older technology that was connected to wifi. I got the idea from Edi the other day after we met."

"Not bad Alenko not to tada bad." I spoke out loud, "You'd might as well contact the gang, I hate the idea going in blind without a way out."

"Whatever they're working on it's probably not good." said Wadup, "I don't need to tell you what to do Commander."

"Can I have my mom's key to my apartment back?" I asked.

"Oh right sorry." He said giving it back.

"Of commander Hansen, can I have another selfie?" Asked Hadfield.

I smiled, "I won't say no to a cooler commander than myself."

"You're too nice Commander Hansen but I beg to differ since you inspired a lot more canadian kids to pay attention in history class."

"That's kinda why I wrote books in the first place." I said after we did the selfie.

My place

It wasn't long before the gang arrived as I opened the balcony door to let them in.

"That armor looks awesome on you Commander Hansen," said James.

"Ah thanks I think." I spoke.
