Prologue – The Son I lost
Jane Shepard pushed some of her red hair behind her ear accidently brushing up against one of the numerous scars from her resurrection at the hands of Cerberus. She mentally scowled at that line of thought, she was beholden to a group of extremist human terrorist. Thankfully once the Collector threat was dealt with she could go her separate ways with the group. She already began creating her new team, having met Kasumi once arriving here in the Zakera wards, after a brief meeting with Anderson, Joker was right, sweeping everything under the rug and going LALALALA with their fingers in their ears. She grumbled descending into level 28 of the ward heading toward the medical supply and tech upgrade stores, Kasumi and Jacob following closely behind.
"So how many more discounts can ya give us Shep?" Kasumi teased.
The red haired woman snorted, "I guess most civies care more about what I did two years ago than the politicians." The trio moved into the ward proper passing a ship dealer, she spotted a Quarian looking longingly at the various ships. Must be on pilgrimage, figuring if it worked for Tali it could work for her. She silently wished the Quarian luck, they came to a stop in front of an Avina who appeared and asked them if they needed help. Politely declining the request, "Jacob you got the tech, Kasumi and I'll head for the Medical supplies."
"Got it Shepard," the man walked off to the left while the two women moved to right to go around the wall. As they moved the duo came into a sphere of an unique salty smell, having been on a ship for most of her recent memories, when she wasn't the only foods she ever smelled were for alien based pallets. The smell hit her and a second later flashes of memory hit her, she grimaced stumbling forward Kasumi caught her. More images came sharper, cleaner, fighting battles with far more primitive weaponary, kunai knives, shuriken, swords, using hand signs shooting out water and wind. A blonde haired man smiling at her, three teens calling her Auntie, a friend named Mikoto holding her little boy, labor pains. A beautiful baby boy, a masked man, a monstrous fox with nine tails; stumbling forward a few steps, Shepard grimaced as more images flooded over her. A moment later she stood erect looking around, before her eyes narrowed. "Kasumi can you get the medical supplies, I need to go back to the Presidium."
"Sure Shep, you alright?" Kasumi asked cautiously.
"Let's just say after you and Jacob are finished I want you both back on the Normandy, we'll be leaving immediately afterward." Shepard at a fast gate headed for the nearest cab back to the Presidium and hopping in. It was nearly ten frenzied minutes before she was back in Anderson's office standing across from. "I need the planet coordinates from where you and mom found me," she whispered softly.
"You finally remember something Shepard?" David Anderson asked summoning his multi-tool and sending her the coordinates to hers who immediately sent them to Joker.
Shepard shakily ran a hand over her face as the images of that perfect infant boy ran through her memories, blonde hair so much like Minato's, her nose and chin, his bright blue eyes, the whisker marks on his cheeks. Fighting tears knowing instinctively that infant was hers, she had a son. "I'm getting flashes of them, but nothing definite. Only it's a human settlement that is not part of the alliance in fact I don't think it's a part of any known human colony."
"How is that possible?" Anderson asked looking confused.
"When I find it, you'll be the first I'll let know," Jane turned leaving the office and headed back to the cab.

Barely a few days later, Shepard, Miranda, and Kasumi entered a floating Cerberus platform not unlike the one Shepard had been resurrected on. "Hmm, seems the Illusive Man likes to keep his cells totally insular," Kasumi quipped.
"Indeed, I had no idea this one existed," Miranda looked around as the trio moved through the dark facility. "Why are we here, Shepard?"
"I need your security clearance, to access the mainframe, if I'm right it'll have coordinates to my home planet," Jane Shepard stated getting raised eyebrows from both women. "This is strictly confidential and I will kill you if you blab to anyone about it. I was not born Jane Shepard, I simply inherited her name. Hanna Shepard's daughter died on Akuze around a week before I was found," she paused as Kasumi stepped forward to hack into the door in front of them. "Anderson and Hanna Shepard at the same time pulled off a black ops division raid on this facility found and on going experimentation of one subject attempting to utilize her strange biotic like abilities. To make her more malleable her memories were either suppressed or outright blocked," the trio found on the other side of the locked door a sterile lab with cryo stasis pod in the center of the room. Both Shepard and Kasumi went around the lab turning on all the machines. Before Miranda went the terminal next to the pod. After a few minutes Miranda sat back looking stunned. "Any planetary coordinates?" Shepard asked.
"Yes, near the Hadeus Cluster," Miranda brow knitted together. "But there's no colony out that far, a few ancient Prothean listening posts maybe…," her eyes widen. "Entirely independent human world, possibly placed there by the Protheans?"
"Complete with a dense atmosphere," Shepard stated reading the information provided for her home planet, "Joker sending you coordinates once the three of us are back on board the Normandy, I want this facility scuttled before we FTL to those coordinates."
"Roger that Commander," Joker responded. Miranda was about to protest before Shepard glared down at her.
"I was taken from my planet, from a husband and a son," Shepard stated solemnly. "Granted I might have died from some of the injuries I sustained, but that would have been my choice, as it is my son probably thinks I've abandoned him.
