Leena's POV

"Commander, EDI and I have been analyzing these drives and I think we found something if your ready" Brooks notified Shepard and everyone gathered around the table.

"Let's hear it"

"Though the data's root structure was erased the logic integrity remains viable" EDI went on.

Brooks made a compliment about EDI before getting back to business.

"We found an encrypted communication from a few days ago, just need another minute to crack it"

"A whole minute? EDI here could shave that down to five seconds" Joker pointed out.

"I thought it best to allow Staff Analyst Brooks a chance to improve her decryption skills," EDI told the pilot.

"And now you've lost your chance to show off" Joker added. I rolled my eyes while Cypher and Noire laughed from behind their claws.

"Like she needs it, you're the crew of the Normandy, you're legends to the rest of the Alliance"

"I'm only with them for certain missions" Saren corrected her.

"Your still part of the crew" I reminded the older turian. Saren sighed before shaking his head as the meeting went on.

"Legends can be good or bad, which are we?" Shepard wondered.

"You're the kind that people look up to, the kind they owe their lives to" Brooks answered.

"Then how come everyone's always shooting at us?" Wrex demanded.

"I think it's mostly you Wrex, the bigger the target" Tali paused for a minute. "The bigger the uh target"

I placed my hands to my lips so my laughter could be quiet.

"Oh come on I haven't gained any weight" Wrex mumbled in disapproval seeing I was laughing.

"It just means there's more of the legend to love" Liara responded.

"Besides Wrex don't female krogan prefer strong males?"

Immediately I shut the Cypher's mouth using my hand.

"The camaraderie, the friendship? I think that's your secret weapon"

"It's all just part of the job"

"Wait job? You mean the rest of you are getting paid for this?"

I smacked Garrus on the arm in reprimand.

The drives then pulled up the information we were seeking.

"Wow, those mercs who are after you? They bought a lot of weapons like big ones"

We saw the weapons in question via holograms.

"Mechs? What do they need that kind of firepower for?" Ashley asked.

The drone named Glyph hovered close to the mech hologram.

"It appears this drone is preparing to rebel"

"I have just monitored the commander's Spectre access code in use at the Citadel Archives" Glyph corrected Javok.

Brooks brought up a map of the Archives.

"The archives are going into emergency lockdown, whoever's hacking your records is there right now"

"Saren know anything about the place?" Shepard questioned his fellow Spectre.

"The council keeps sensitive historical information there" the older turian explained.

"It's real hush-hush even my old C-Sec clearance never got me in" Garrus interjected.

"Then we'll find our own way in, gear up and let's"

Shepard then stopped as he eyed the Volus holding a pizza box.

"What's with the volus?"

"Pizza delivery guy I got the munchies"

"Your always hungry" I pointed out to James.

"Double pepperoni," the delivery volus said.

"These archives are huge and it's a lot of ground to cover"

"Then we're bringing everyone," Shepard told Brooks. The Spectre then shot me, Garrus, Saren, Cypher, and Noire a glance.

"Oh this is gonna be good" I smirked before cracking my knuckles.

A Short Sky Car Ride Later.

Still Leena's POV

"Cy you know what to do," I told the metal dragon.

Using his dragon fire Cypher burned a hole large enough for everyone to go through. One by one everyone climbed down and we entered what looked like a security checkpoint. The others were in separate groups and even Rue was part of the party.

The Commander checked the area before making a moving gesture with his hand but the group above soon lit up with red laser points and soon so were we.

"Motherf***er" Cy and I growled as Shepard stated.

"Not this again"

The mercs then ambushed us and gunfire rang out. Immediately Cypher and Noire took flight and began burning the crap out of the mercs while I fired rounds with Garrus, Saren, and Shepard. Over the commlink, several mercs bitched about being burned alive and one even swore at seeing Wrex.

"Damn it they have the Science Fiction Tomb Raider with them!"

I smirked at the panic I heard in that mercs voice before firing more rounds. However, a voice suddenly shouted.

"That's enough! Drop your weapons and call off the metal dragons or this won't end well for her!"

The mysterious figure sounded exactly like the Commander and the asshole was using Brooks as a shield.

"You bastard" Brooks spat.

I hissed before putting my guns down. Cypher and Noire returned and my bonded partner bared his fangs in annoyance. Noire swished her tail in annoyance on Saren's shoulder. Brooks was released and she was tossed in our direction.

The others didn't move as Shepard spoke to the mysterious figure.

"Whatever you think you're getting away with there's nowhere you can hide where we can't find you"

"Hide? Why?"

"Holy shit that's a clone of you Shepard" I announced as I finally figured it out.

"Smart girl, it's no wonder your part of his team Leena" the clone added as it jumped down from the ramparts, and then approached.

"How is this possible?"

"You weren't the only Shepard that Cerberus brought back to life, but at least one of us will finally do something with it, I came from your DNA, and Cerberus spared no expense resurrecting you with me I was created for spare parts in case you needed another arm, a heart, or a lung"

"Your nothing but a cheap imitation of the true Commander Shepard" Saren growled. The clone eyed the older turian.

"Your just weak Saren Arterius"

"F**k you! Don't talk to my husband like that!" Rue roared from the rafters above. The clone eyed me next.

"The infamous Science Fiction Lara Croft, how about you ditch these losers Leena and join me?"

"Kiss my ass" I countered and Cy gave the clone two metal-clawed birds.

The clone then mentioned the Normandy and the Commander tried to send a warning to Traynor but the signal was blocked and the clone instead told Traynor to prepare the Normandy for emergency departure. Then Shepard's clone ordered for us to be killed and no sooner did the clone turn away did the human Spectre grab his gun and fired at a replica of the Citadel hanging above. This was the distraction we needed and soon all of us were shooting at the mercs again.

Cy and Noire went back to burning the shit out of our enemies. During the gunfire exchange, there were multiple dialogues.

"Alright everyone Uncle Urdnot is back in town and he brought the boom!"

"Is that a catchphrase or something Wrex?!"

"Thought I'd try it out, see what you think!"

"Try again!" Tali called out to Wrex.

I ducked as a bullet almost hit me and I returned the round by shooting the asshole dead.

"Rapier Squad, orders are to kill the other Shepard's crew! No messing around this time!"

"But they've got a krogan! Why don't we have a krogan?!"

"Wouldn't want to be you, princesses!" Wrex shouted before laughing.

"Shit that's a Prothean over there!"

"And that's a future corpse over there!" Javik responded.

"I think that other turian they've got is Archangel! How the hell are we going to kill him?!"

"You're not!" Garrus and I said together.

"What are my chances of scoring a date with the Sci Fy Lara Croft?"

"OVER MY DEAD BODY!" my husband protested.

I grinned at Garrus's comment before focusing on the fight again.

Eventually, we finished off the mercs and we had to stop that f**king clone from stealing the Normandy.

"Babe you really need to keep your jealousy in check," I told Garrus.

"I'm not jealous" my Archangel lied.

To shut him up I kissed his mouth plates before we continued onward.

Hehe Garrus is jealous XD.
