Miranda was standing at the docks, waiting for a shuttle to dock. She finally got the time to get off her work, but she knows she needs to get back to it. But she can't help herself, the moment she found out that she will be coming, her legs moved towards the docks. She admits that she missed Bellona. Bellona's lazy-going nature and those hazel eyes that always sparkle; or when she was grumpy. Even their fight.
Miranda had a soft spot for Bellona, she can admit it to herself. But she will never tell her that. She already has a big ego…Miranda was so deep in her though that she didn't see the shuttle dock. When she heard someone calling her name, she looked up and saw Bellona in white t-shirt and blue jeans and a leather red jacket with army boots. Bellona hazel eyes sparkle as they meet her blue ones.
She can't believe it was two month since they saw each other. And now she will have to send her somewhere ells. She can stay for a day or two…. Miranda though to herself.
"Were you in hurry…or did you just miss me?" Bellona winked at her, looking up and down her cat suit. Man all this time apart and she still look hot. Miranda rolled her eyes, smiling slightly.
"You still charming as ever. Come on I have a room waiting for you, and then we need to talk about the mission you're going to." Miranda turned and walked towards the hallway. Bellona fallowed, she could help but roll her eyes as Miranda started talking about her mission. Your such a softie Miri… Bellona smiled softly, her hazel eyes soften as she looked at Miranda.
"Also I want to look at your wound. " Miranda said, smirking slightly as she saw Bellona flinch in pain at the mention of her wound.
"And here I though you will be too busy to remember that. I'm fine Miranda. There is no need for—" she didn't finish as Miranda took her by the arm and dragged her to the medical bay.
"Oh no you don't. You're coming with me now." Miranda said with a stern voice.
Bellona groaned in despair, she hated needles. She couldn't help but wince in pain as Miranda dragged her by her wrist.
Miranda looked at the wound in Bellona back, and couldn't help but frown. She know that Bellona's work is dangerouse, even though she was not running all over the place with her gun.
"So doc, am I going to live?" Bellona shifted to look over her shoulder at Miranda.
"Your goingto be fine. I can't belive how you can be so clumsy on a job." Miranda said, while putting medigel away.
"Hey, how was I to know there would be bad guys with big guns?" Bellona put her shirt back on, and jumping down from the table.
"You're an Agent you soposed to know there would be bad guys with guns. Maybe you should stop being so lazy and do more training instead." Miranda crossed her arms around her chest.
Bellona narrowed her eyes. " I'm not lazy Miranda and you should know that the best." Miranda frowned as she watched Bellona walk though the doors.
Yes. Miranda know that she was not lazy or clumsy. Well she was lazy after she did her work. And she was not so clumsy like in the past. In the past all she did was get in trouble, or eat sweets. She still has sweettooth. No matter how hard she tried to hide the fac from me. Sure Bellona was not working with Cereburs. Miranda didn't want her to fallow her after she run away from her father. Yet she did. Bellona was an orphan girl. But she was loyal. The Illusive Men wanted to use Bellona for more intense training. Wanted to upgrade her biotics. But Bellona never liked them, no matter how hard she tried to hide them.
Miranda once asked her why and the way she answered. "Because even if I'm strong biotic, with out them I'm defenless as a baby. With out them I'm nothing. So I'll train my body and leave my biotic be. It's best this way. Besides no matter how strong you are, there would be apponets that are stronger then you. That why I want to train, my body and my mind."
Miranda fallowed Bellona as she went to her room. Bellona walked though the hallway that lead to her room. She glanced at Miranda.
"How is your Project doing?"
Miranda locked gaze with Bellona. "It going well. I wanted to implant the control chip inside her brain, but Illusive man didn't let me. He said that he want her to be 100% herself."
Bellona widen her eyes as she hear Miranda say that she wanted to implant a control chip. Sometimes Miranda scare her, sometimes she was afraid for Miranda soul. The thing she say sometimes make her think that She sould knock Miranda out and lock her somewhere where no one would find her. Where Illusive Man woun't find her. If I was lieing down there and Illusive Man asked Miranda to implant a control chip in my brain would she do it…? Would you do it to me Miranda? Would you take way my free will? Bellona shook her head.
"I'm glad he did then." Bellona looked away from Miranda's schoked gaze.
"Bellona, we don't know anything about Commander. She could kill us or go agents us if she didn't like it. She is a black horse Bell." Miranda voice held adge in it. She didn't understand why she was getting so angry about. She didn't like the look Bellona give her.
"Oh? So what your want to take her free will from her? Want her to become Cerebures puped?" Bellona glared at Miranda as she stopped walking.
"Don't you understand? Shepard is not like us. She is a damn hero, she hunted us before. But we need her to be on our side. No matter what!" Miranda said angryly back at Bellona.
Bellona haze eyes become slits. "Well if Cereberus did do those experimets on Akuze, she has a reason to hate them. Since because of them her squad died back there. And don't tell me you don't belive that. I know. I saw the reports Miranda. Illusive Man say it for the best for humanity. And you go ahed with it. HE asks YOU do it anyway!"
Miranda crossed her arms and narrowed her blue eyes at Bellona. "I had nothing to do with it. The humanity deserve the best Bellona. Sure our methods not always…the safest. And Yes sumetimes we can be cruel. But life is cruel. You can't just give others another chance to know that they will change themselves Bellona, just because you saved them. The Illusive Man has goals for humanity. Big one's, and I'm glad to help him. The end always justifise the means."
Bellona can't belive her ears. Who was this woman and what happened to her Miranda? Did he finally convince you to join his cult Miranda? Don't you see? He using you!
"All this time you wanted to get away from your father, because he controled you. And now you want to take way one person free will? Want to turn them into a blind Fucking robot, to fallowe your rule?" Bellona hissed at Miranda, who looked surprised.
"That has-" Bellona didn't let her finish. She locked gaze with Miranda's.
"Tell me Miranda if Illusive Man asked you to inplant a control chip into my brain would you have done it? Would you take away my free will, and turn me into a pupped?" She asked Miranda who looked pale in the face.
"I would never done that! You're a human being! And your loyal. He know that!" Miranda shouted back at Bellona who looked at her with disaproving eyes. She never liked when she gived her that look. It made her feel dirty.
"Oh, and Shepard isn't? I'm loyal to YOU Miranda not to Cereberes. I'm here because of you Miranda."
Miranda crossed her arms acroos her chest. "You will never betray me. I know that. I know you don't like them, and I don't fault you. You never trusted them anyway. But don't you see this is different. The humanity deserve the best."
Bellona shook her head. She didn't want to fight with Miranda. She is already to deep in the devil mouth. Did Illusive Man send me to Omega so he could take more of Miranda's will?
"There is always a line that you can't cross Miranda." Bellona shook her head at Miranda.
"And you are too soft Bellona. Maybe you should stop and start over your training again. Because I think you forgot who you talking to Agent." Miranda said with a cold voice at Bellona.
Bellona couldn't beliave this. "What ever you say ." Miranda slighty winced as she heard the cold voice from Bellona. "I'll shall be on my way. I'm tired and want to rest."
Miranda looked sterny at Bellona. "Don't forget to get to my office tomarow morning, we need to talk about your new mission. You may be exused Agent Rose." Bellona shook her head and walked up to her room, before turning around and looking at Miranda. Pain clearly in her eyes.
"Sometimes Miranda you talk just like your father. And when you talk like that I don't see you in front of me, but your father looking at me. Just like you did now." After she said that she walked though the doors leading to her room.
Miranda was schoked, she can't believe that Bellona said that to her. She was always like this, Bellona should know that. She still hear Bellona question in her mind; 'if he asked to place the chip in me, would you have done it? Would you take away my free will?' 'take away my free will?'
Miranda shook her head. "Never." She said. But some part of her didn't agree to that statement.
She looked at the closet door of her friend room, she wanted to go and opologise but she know Bellona will not talk with her for weeks. And she didn't have time for it anyway. It could wait. They always fight, it was nothing special. There no need to worry.
Miranda turned away and walked back, the clipping sound of her heal agenst the stone achose thought the hallway as she walked.
AN: Hello, another one done. Tell me what you think?
