"...I'm a cop, and I know my duty," Detective Anaya said. "I've been ordered to detain her and I will—unless I can get her to leave my district."

Commander Shepard shook his head. He respected the asari's devotion, but not what that devotion would cost her. "Your superiors are sending you to certain death for no good reason. You have a right to disobey."

"We can disobey suicidal orders? Why wasn't I told?" Garrus asked.

Shepard turned in his seat to look at the turian. He opened his mouth to make a comment but Thane beat him to the punch. "Every time Shepard orders us to face impossible odds, I have to remind myself that I volunteered," the drell assassin said to Garrus. "That's about twice a day."

"Excuse me a moment," Shepard said to the detective. He rose from his seat and gave his two companions dirty looks. "What the hell are you two talking about?"

"Your tendency to lead us to our deaths," Garrus explained.

"Garrus, if I remember correctly, you were on Omega for months, taking the fight to the three largest mercenary groups in the whole galaxy!" Shepard exclaimed. "You took a damn rocket to the face, and yet you would have been worse off had I not come to recruit Archangel. That's a lot worse than anything that happened to you when we were hunting Saren or since I came back to life!"

Before Garrus could offer a rebuttal Shepard glared at Thane, who'd made him even angrier. "And you! I picked you up from Dantius Towers yesterday; this is literally the first time we've ever worked together! How many impossible odds have I put you through in twenty-four hours?!"

Neither Garrus nor Thane spoke again for the duration of their time tracking the Asari Justiciar. Commander Shepard wasn't too upset about that.

A/N: Thanks to V-rcingetorix, He Who Fought Monsters, Graymalkyn, Hoplite39, Nuclearwullfs, LMAO, and demonicnargles for reviewing since the last update.

This would have had to occurred before the previous chapter for it to have really been Thane's first time traveling with Commander Shepard, so just pretend I wrote this one first :)

I honestly had no intention of posting another chapter to this story. It was meant to be a one-shot. But I was watching a friend of mine play ME2 a while ago, and this situation happened to him. He didn't make a big deal out of Thane's comment, but I thought that was ridiculous.

I enjoy writing these parody scenes. If any of you come up with a situation I can tear apart into little pieces, suggest it in a review or private message. Thanks for reading!
