Melissa, Benton and Vanita ran as I covered them as they escaped with the rest of the hostages from the newly converted Cerberus Mercs. I had a feeling I might get more answers to my questions then. I found a keeper tunnel as I decided to follow it. I then figured they were assigned to protect something, and distract those that are looking for it. I knocked a merc lady out as I took her communicator as I listened to their communications. I was certain there was more going on here that we had already discovered already
"Delta is the package located?" as I heard Savick's voice. Him again? Why am I not surprised.
"No sir, and one of the Hansen Ladies ran for it." said Delta leader, "We lost visual on one of them."
"Make sure neither one doesn't reach the package."
"Yes sir."
Using my hair pin I disabled the mic then hooked the live feed up to my com, as I sneaked around using my teleport/charge ability. They were looking for something... My memory then clicked in as I saw myself helping someone injured and placing that person in a stasis pod that had healing abilities... with the Cerberus symbol on it. Was that what they were looking for? I looked as I saw more Mercs coming but they had the cerberus symbol on their armor this time. I checked my current gear, two pistols I've never seen before and 4 clips of ammo I've gathered so far.
"Commander Hansen can you hear us?" it was Kaidan and Ashley.
"One at a time please," I whispered, "but great timing you two."
"You're sister just filled us in why didn't you retreat?" Asked Ashley.
"Because there's more going on here. I just found out they're looking so something and they think my sister and I are looking for."
"What are they after?"
"Remember I said there was some dark areas in the memory? Well this area looks very familiar." I started, "How close are you two to my location?"
"Well considering you cleared our path not far," said Ashley.
"Yeah well um, I kinda left a few for you two I snuck around using charge ability, I got to admit I love that power." I spoke into my communicator as I used it to surprise Merks as I punched their lights out. I found a place to take cover at as my head began to feel like hell as I realised I was about to maybe black out and get a flashback or something...
"Don't worry Commander, some of us will be there to distract them," said Tali on the com, "I got Garrus with me."
"Ok I'll join them and play decoy, Kaidan you find Mel."
"Got it."
'God Damnit anytime but not now please,' I thought as my headache returned then I blacked out...
Citadel...
I was looking for Savick, but now I was following a trail of dead bodies... I did my best to ignore it but all I could do was let my tears fall. I went into attention and then said, "Soldiers you are dismissed. You can rest in peace..." I then proceeded to recite In Flanders Fields... I had understood these words for a very long time now, and somehow it helped me cope with the massive mess of the galaxy's best dead at my sides as I then saw another room that had three bodies, two were dead as one from what my omni tool said was still alive.
"Melly?" said a voice from the body that was still alive as I finally reached the woman on the ground, I turned her around as I looked at Shepard... Commander Jane Shepard...
"You look like hell, cousin Shep." I said to her.
"Talk about the pot and the kettle cuz but you look a bit better than I do." She complained, "How'd you get here without a scratch?"
"Ah apparently there was another portal lead me here... A Guy named Savick is planning on sabotaging the whole plan I chased him this far... Weird hearing you say that to me Shep."
She chuckled, "Yeah I know, but as for the sabotage part is that what you were trying to reach me for?"
"Yeah."
"You should go."
"If I would have known better..." I spoke as I looked as the Illusive man's body on the ground near Anderson's dead body, "The illusive man must of have had a backup plan."
"I don't think he planned on dying Melly." She spoke.
"You wanna bet?"
"No cause if you make a bet at against me or your brothers, you usually lose."
I snickered as I picked her up as I carried her to what looked to be a stasis healing pod, "How how do you like me now Shep."
"Smart Ass, maybe I should have taken that bet."
"That's not the first time you called me that." I replied putting her inside.
"Wait why are you putting me in?"
"Because I still fight and Humanity still needs you Shep..."
"You better kick ass and survive it Melly!"
"Shep don't jinx me."
"The first time we fought together you got burried alive saving my hide."
"It's an occupational hazard, I'm used to it."
"As if Melly."
"Shep..." I groaned, "Rest up could yah, I'll be back alright?"
"You'd better be, and don't screw up."
"I'll do my best Shep."
"That's all I ask, go give Savick a taste of his own medicine."
"Will do Shep. Nighty night."
"Later Raider."
"Later Commander..." I said as I closed the pod as she fell asleep in the healing pod.
Present
It wasn't long before Kaidan caught up to me as I had ducked behind a very secure area to rest up as my power recharged. My nose was bleeding out as I realise maybe I used my powers a little too much in the last hour or it was due to my black out... Then again perhaps it best not knowing.
"You alright Commander?"
"Yeah it's not easy making my light matter powers look Biotic blue." I replied as I wiped the blood from my nose.
Kaidan used his first aid program to stop my bleeding nose, "I get that sometimes too if I use my biotics more than I should."
I replaced the clips in my pistols as I looked over the edge, "We got to get to the life pod."
"Who's in it?"
"My third cousin," I replied, "Commander Jane Shepard."
