Bellona walked down the crew deck, towards Miranda's office. It's been two days since she was taken to the Normandy. The meeting between Commander and her must have gone well.

She knew about the Commander and her background, but to meet the woman in person was….interesting. Shepard had air around her that you just made you want to follow her to the end.

Bellona's memory flew like water around her as she remembered.

Bellona was sitting inside med bay, looking at message the Veetor send her. She was glad that the kid got out of that pit hole alive and that he was getting medical attention. She could not help but smile.

The doors to the Med bay opened, and one heavy footsteps followed, it was not Miranda's because she would have known if it was.

Bellona closed her omni-tool and looked up and saw Commander walking up to her. Bellona could see that Miranda did her job well….almost too well. It was scary. Bellona looked closely and could see the scars almost glowing on Commander Face. The scars made her look more attractive. 'Does that mean that Frosty saw her up and close? Damn. For just a second there I want to be in Miranda's place. Bad thoughts Bell…'

Bellona eyes sparkled as she locked her gaze with Shepard's own. "Hello Commander, something I can help you with?"

Shepard looked at Bellona closely, "Just want to talk."

Bellona shifted in her bed, getting more comfortable, before answering back, "Talk I can do. What do you want to know?"

Shepard crossed her arms across her chest and leaned on the bed Bellona was sitting on. "How are you feeling?"

Bellona chuckled, "A little sore here and there, but okay. Don't worry I will be back on duty in no time."

Shepard smiled at her. "That's good. Miranda didn't tell me about you. How did you ended up with Cerberus?"

Bellona eyes flashed for a moment as she calmly said back, crossing her arms across her chest, "Let's make something clear Shepard. I'm not working for Cerberus. I am working for Miranda. Nothing more; nothing less."

Shepard eyebrow lifted. "And Miranda is working for Cerberus."

Bellona rolled her eyes as she relaxed as she answered, "She had her reason for working for them. Don't get me wrong, I try to let her know like every ten minutes about how wrong it is to work for them, but mostly we fight on that topic." She chuckled, "I'm sure one day you will win her over Commander."

Shepard laughed "You and Miranda close I take it?"

Bellona sighed as she closed her eyes. "You can say that."

Shepard watched her closely. "Must be a challenge?"

Bellona smirked at Shepard, her eyes sparkling. "Some but nothing I can't handle."

Shepard nodded her head. "I'm sure. So Agent Rose?"

Bellona chuckled, shaking her head. "Yeah, I know. It's all because every time I went after someone I always give them roses. Or more like I love roses so Miranda stuck me with this little nickname, Rose. So it kind of stuck."

Shepard smirked at Bellona, "I can see that. Get better Agent. I will need you and Miranda when we get to Omega."

Bellona eyes narrowed as she said seriously, "Roger that!"

"Good" With those words Shepard turned and walked away. Bellona could felt herself getting tired, she didn't even realize for how long they talked and how much it took out of her.' I'm still not 100% yet.'

Before Bellona could think over what Shepard and she talked about, she fell asleep.

Bellona walked though Miranda's doors, and stopped as she saw Miranda at her desk writing on her terminal. Probably a report to Illusive Men Bellona features turned to a hard, before she shook her head and went into Miranda's room, walking past Miranda desk.

Bellona could see Miranda glance at her from the corner of her eye, before returning back to the monitor in front of her.

Bellona sat down heavily in the chair, seemed almost to fall into it, as she looked into the window that looked upon a black void full of stars. Bellona turned to watch Miranda's back. Her shoulders were backwards and the small of her back upwards and Miranda sat so stiffly and with such a straight back that she gave of the impression of strict business woman.

Bellona's lips quirked upwards in a half-smile, her eyes soften as she remembered her dream.

"You know, I had a dream about us." Bellona said, shifting her gaze back to the black void full of stars outside the window. She could feel Miranda's gaze upon her.

"Oh?" she simply said, waiting for Bellona to tell her about it. Bellona remembers how they told everything to each other, even they dirtiest secret. Miranda always listened to her, her problem, and her ideas.

"Yea, it was that time when we took that picture. Do you remember?" Bellona looked over her shoulder at Miranda, and saw how she turned back to the console in front of her, and started typing again.

"You should rest, tomorrow we will be on Omega, and I need you in your best form." Miranda said, changing the subject. She always did that. Changed the subject when Bellona tried to talk about their past. Bellona mouth twitched, before she sighed and walked up to Miranda's closet, before pulling all of her clothes off, and standing only in her sport bra and shorts. She throws her clothes onto chair. She falls on the bed and crawled under the sheets, her head hitting a soft pillow.

Miranda was silent. It wasn't an awkward silence. Her silence was somehow comforting and it spoke for itself, it was peaceful in a way where you could feel at home and know somewhere deep down that she was forever there for you.

Bellona closed her eyes and could feel herself drifting into a light sleep. In an hour she could feel the bed shifting and something heavy laid on the right side, the light scent of roses, a scent she know all too well. She could feel Miranda turning on her right side her back to Bellona's face. Bellona shifted close to Miranda back and laid an arm around Miranda's stomach and pulled her closer to her front. Bellona could felt Miranda tense for a moment before she relaxed in her arms. She felt a warm hand on her arm when it lay around Miranda.

She heard Miranda breathing even before joining her in the dreams far beyond they lives.
