Author’s notes: A big thanks goes to everyone who reviewed this fic so far! It’s thanks to you guys that this fic has finally made it to chapter 34! In this chapter, the Normandy is introduced to Javik...but how they go about it will be quite different from the game. If any of you have suggestions on what I could write in future chapters please don’t hesitate to PM me.

Captain Megan Cassandra Shepard was frog marched into her cabin by her wife and XO, Lieutenant Commander Miranda Anne Shepard. “Miri, I should be down there overseeing the loading-”Megan began before she was cut off by her wife. “Oh just shush and rest, would you please? Now strip and lie down on the bed.”Miranda huffed in exasperation as she pushed her wife down onto the bed they shared. “Strip? Why?”The redhead asked in confusion. “I’m going to give you a massage Cassie. Now just do as I say.”Megan simply complied with her wife, stripping completely naked and lying down chest first as Miranda retrieved a bottle of massage oil from somewhere.

“Look at you dear…all tensed up from the arguing with the asari Councilor for their no-show and non-involvement in the war…and all beat up from trying to take on a krogan husk up close…”Miranda tsked as she began to liberally pour the oil onto her wife’s naked, curvy yet taut body before she spread it around Megan’s back and began to firmly knead out all the tension in her wife’s muscles. “Let me take away that tension, hmm?”The brunette Sentinel purred in Megan’s ear as she pressed her palms into Megan’s shoulders, getting a sigh of delight from the redhead. She then massaged her way down to Megan’s buttocks, on which she lavished an exorbitant amount of attention to, causing Megan to moan and her womanhood to involuntarily become wet.

“Turn over for me please Cassie babe.”Miranda whispered in a near-growl as she too, was starting to get highly aroused from the pheromone-laden massage oil she’d managed to purchase the 1^st time they docked at the Citadel after Mars. “Mmm…is that massage oil supposed to make me so horny?”Megan moaned breathily as she turned to lie on her back, exposing her small but firm and perky breasts to her wife. “Maybe…or maybe it’s just me.”Miranda then oiled up and massaged her wife’s front before lingering on her breasts, squeezing, cupping and kneading them, making Megan get increasingly aroused by the minute.

“Oh God Miri…you dirty fucking woman you…”Megan growled in heat as she viciously yanked her wife’s head down for a bruising kiss of lust which Miranda was only too happy to reciprocate. Miranda then quickly tore off her casual uniform top along with her virginal white cotton bra before she dove down to attack Megan’s breasts with her lips, tongue and teeth. While the Vanguard moaned and arched her back from the pleasure she was getting from the rough yet loving treatment of her breasts, Miranda’s free hand that wasn’t groping Megan’s tit was snaking down to the redhead’s sopping core and she began to stroke Megan’s soft, pink folds and rub against her clit with her thumb.

“Oh yes Miri!”Megan cried out in pleasure as she enjoyed the sexual pleasures her beautiful wife was thrusting upon her. After a few more minutes, Miranda switched her attentions from her wife’s tits down to her dripping pussy and she began to gently kiss the labia, making Megan whimper and buck her hips wildly, earning a satisfied smirk from Miranda. Soon enough, Miranda dove in with her tongue and 2 fingers, fingering and performing cunnilingus as Megan began crying out in ecstasy. “Ooh fuck me Miri! D-d-don’t-don’t stop!”The redhead moaned weakly as Miranda just swirled her talented tongue against Megan’s clit while her 2 fingers delved deep into Megan’s tight vagina, stretching and testing the walls of her hot and soaking wet womanhood.

“Wouldn’t dream of it, love.”Miranda purred, pulling away from Megan’s sweet pussy and kissing her deeply, letting the redhead taste herself on her wife’s tongue. “Well then get back down there sweetie.”Megan growled as Miranda just smiled and winked before resuming her ministrations upon her wife’s womanhood, inserting another finger in and rapidly pistoned her fingers in and out of her while her tongue flicked her clit rapidly, occasionally darting down to lick at the swollen folds. A few minutes of this intense pleasure was all Megan could take before she exploded into an orgasm. “Oh yes Miri I’m cumming-NNGH MIRI!”Megan screamed out as she began to squirt her juices into her wife’s waiting mouth, and Miranda eagerly lapped down every drop of her wife’s ejaculate.

Due to the women being in ‘protective custody’ for a year a half with a guard constantly outside their room, both Megan and Miranda’s once thunderous screams of orgasm were now much, much softer than before, and were now more of a cross between a yell, a moan, and a whimper as they restrained their voices. “Hmm…I’m not quite done yet sweetie.”Miranda gasped as she quickly undid her pants and panties, tossing them aside as her left hand snaked down to her dripping wet and neglected snatch and began to alternate between stroking and fingering herself while she began to tease Megan’s asshole with her tongue. “Uuh…Miri…oh my God…”Megan moaned in pleasure, her eyes rolled to the back of her head as each swipe of her wife’s tongue against her puckered star setting the nerves on fire.

Soon, Miranda slipped 2 fingers into Megan’s anus and began thrusting slowly, not wanting to hurt her redheaded wife. Less than 10 minutes after her first mind-blowing climax, Megan was pushed straight into another, albeit smaller, orgasm as her feminine cum gushed out of her vagina. Megan could only moan long and loud as her hips kept bucking up and down as Miranda squealed into her nether regions, the brunette having fingered herself to orgasm while she fucked her wife. When they came down from their respective highs, Miranda crawled over Megan, lying down on the Captain and they kissed each other tenderly, their tongues dancing around each other as they took their time to regain their strength before going at it again.

Soon enough, Megan gently pushed Miranda off her and onto the bed before she scooted in between the brunette bombshell’s legs and began to lap at her soaked pussy, causing her to moan in approval before she let out a sharp yelp when Megan slid 2 fingers into her ass. “Mmh yes Cassie! Eat me out! Lick my cunt and fuck me silly! Oh-ooh!”Miranda squealed as Megan continued to relentlessly push her to the edge with her fingers and her tongue. The only response Megan gave was to bite down lightly on Miranda’s painfully engorged clit, causing the brunette to let out an involuntary shriek of delight before slurping loudly at her womanhood. After one particularly hard thrust into her tight asshole by Megan’s 2 fingers, as well as a swirl of Megan’s tongue against her clit, Miranda came hard, digging her toes into the bed as her juices gushed out of her and into Megan’s waiting mouth.

“Oh God! Fuck me Cassie!”Miranda shrieked as her hips kept bucking uncontrollably while Megan worked to bring her down from her high by gently kissing the brunette’s oversensitive clit while her hands gently stroked the insides of Miranda toned, milky white thighs and soon, the brunette was brought down from her orgasmic high as both women locked gazes and smiled lovingly at each other. “Thanks for that amazing massage Miri babe.”Megan husked before the couple locked lips and tongues once more. “You’re welcome Megpie. I take it you enjoyed your special massage?”Miranda smirked salaciously as Megan just laughed. It feels amazing to just forget the problems around me and just focus on my Miri. The redhead thought with a tender smile.

“Well Captain Shepard, didn’t you have a cargo resupply to supervise?”Miranda asked innocently while her fingers idly traced the perfect, swollen pink lips of her pussy as Megan stood up, her eyes transfixed upon her wife playing with herself. “Indeed I do. See you later.”The redheaded Vanguard kissed the XO of her ship and the mother of her children before heading to the showers to rinse the mixture of aphrodisiac massage oil, cum and the smell of sex off of herself before changing into BDUs and heading down to the cargo bay while Miranda relaxed on the bed, laughing as she talked to her kids and her parents on the other end of the line. Megan just smiled to herself before heading into the elevator to rejoin the fray.

When Megan got to the cargo bay, she could see a frenzy of activity. Kelly Chambers, who they had picked up from Menae alongside Garrus Vakarian, was helping Lieutenant Commander Ashley Williams supervise the inventory logging of all the food supplies while Chief Engineer Greg Adams was taking stock of the spare parts and maintenance equipment. "Hey Lola, we've got some presents from the Illusive Man, and it's addressed to you!"James called out from the stack of crates containing the new weapons Anderson had managed to procure for them, as well as crates of thermal clips and of course, the Illusive Man's 3 crates of 'gifts'. Garrus Vakarian was busy sorting out the rest as Megan took the paper note, something rarely seen these days, from Vega's outstretched hand.

It read: 'Dear Megan and Miranda, as a show of my appreciation for you fine ladies and your crew, I'm giving these 3 crates of Cerberus' finest weapons. Use them well. Love, the Illusive Man.' "Oh and Lola? He also gave you and Angel roses, one for each of you."The muscular lieutenant chuckled as he passed Megan the roses. The red one had a ribbon with her name written on it, and the white one was for Miranda. Megan just snorted and put the roses down on a nearby crate before she opened up the 3 crates. One of them contained a half dozen X55 Argus battle rifles, and a half dozen X60 Harrier assault rifles. The second one was an assortment of X25 Hornet SMGs and a large pistol that Megan had only seen Cerberus troops use as sidearms, and the final crate contained several sniper rifles.

"Hey Megan, what are those roses over there for?"Miranda suddenly asked from behind Megan as the Vanguard jumped slightly as she turned around to face her wife. "Well, these roses are a gift from Timmy to us, along with the weapons and this note."Megan rolled her eyes at the notion of the Illusive Man trying to flirt with them by means of the note and roses while Miranda picked one up, brushing back her damp raven hair before she smelled the rose addressed to her. "It's a genuine rose and it's really fragrant. He's really trying to woo us, isn't he?"Miranda snorted in derision as she put aside the rose to inspect some of the new weapons designed for N7s that Anderson had shipped in for them. "Shit, this gun is even heavier than the Revenant!"James grunted as he hefted a large weapon that Miranda assumed was a machinegun.

"What's that one you're wielding James?"Megan asked as she checked over one of the Cerberus pistols. "It's an X77 Typhoon machinegun. Designed for N7s just like the sniper rifles that just came in, along with the Crusader shotguns, Valkyrie assault rifles, Eagle pistols, and Hurricane SMGs. Only N7s have access to these babies."The Latino lieutenant replied as he pulled the bolt back to inspect the firing chamber. "And they all have 7s in their designation huh?"Ashley remarked as she sighted down one of the N7 sniper rifles that was designated as the X7 Valiant. "Guess it makes the distinction clearer to just about everyone."James shrugged as Miranda inspected an X60 Harrier closely.

When everything was sorted out and properly inventoried, the crew who wanted to leave the ship for the 24 hours of shore leave Megan had given them did so while the rest stayed aboard the ship. Megan and Miranda exited the Normandy's airlock, intending to go visit their children, when they saw Private Sarah Campbell and Private First Class Bethany Westmoreland arguing with someone just outside of the entrance. "Sir, unless Captain Shepard herself gives clearance for you to board, you can't be here!"Westmoreland exclaimed in frustration as Megan and Miranda stepped in to see that the African-American woman was arguing with Jacob Taylor, the ex-Cerberus operative who'd been part of Megan's crew when they fought the Collectors.

"Campbell, Westmoreland, stand down. He's with me."Megan ordered the two women as they relaxed before the redhead turned to Jacob. "Jacob! What're you doing here?"Megan smiled in pleasant surprise as Jacob gave both Megan and Miranda a toothy grin. "Hey Megan, hey Miranda. Anderson pulled me from recon ops in the Terminus to join your crew. Heard you guys were shorthanded, so I'm in your crew." "I see the Alliance reinstated you...with a promotion. Congratulations Jacob."Miranda smiled at her ex-boyfriend as they shook hands. "So, where's Kasumi? And how are the babies?"Megan asked as Jacob chuckled in fond memory of his wife, the master thief Kasumi Goto-Taylor.

"The babies are doing great Shepard. As for Kas, well, she's back to doing what she does best. Can't tame that girl."Jacob chuckled heartily. "Well, that's quite obvious from the way she kept screaming whenever you two had sex on the Normandy."Miranda grinned cheekily, causing Megan to laugh at the memory and Jacob to go into an awkward embarrassed silence. "It's great to have you back Lieutenant Taylor. The armory's gone; it's been moved to the shuttle bay now. However, your old bunk is still there and unoccupied, so feel free to make it your home again."The redhead smiled as she came to Jacob's rescue. "Thanks Megan. Can't wait to kick Reaper ass with you again ma'am."Jacob said, relief evident in his tone as he saluted Megan and Miranda before hastily boarding the ship.

"Sarah, Bethany, you're both dismissed. Go enjoy your shore leave."Miranda told the 2 privates as they nodded. "Thanks ma'am. We'll be going off then."Sarah thanked the brunette as she saluted in unison with Bethany before they departed together, holstering their sidearms into the concealed holsters on their casual BDUs. "Say Cassie, do you think Sarah and Bethany are together?"Miranda asked her wife as they held hands while walking to the taxi bay. "No...I get more of a 'sworn sisters' kinda feeling from their relationship. I doubt they're lovers."Megan replied as they slipped into a waiting car before flying off to the Presidium.

"So, what did Aaron have to say when he called you just now?"Megan asked as she steered the car into a right and up, heading for her father in law's penthouse building. "He told me that Tabby and Zack are a complete handful, occasionally trashing the place and sending Carla into a fit, but he enjoys having them around. Also, they're eating a lot and not sleeping at naptimes. But most of all, they miss us dearly. According to Aaron, both Tabby and Zach are always saying 'mama' every minute."Miranda smiled fondly at the thought of her beautiful children, conceived with her first love, the maroon haired beauty sitting next to her. "I miss them so badly too. I just wanna grab them and hug them tight and never let go."Megan smiled lovingly as both she and her wife held hands and squeezed.

About 10 minutes later, Megan parked her aircar at the private parking bay of Aaron Lawson's spectacular Presidium penthouse. Aaron was already waiting there with his wife, Carla with their grandchildren standing next to them. As soon as the car doors opened and Megan and Miranda exited, Tabitha Shepard and Zachary Shepard raced towards them with their arms outstretched screaming "Mama! Mama!" Tabitha latched on to a laughing Megan, who showered kisses on the toddler while Zachary pounced on Miranda, who laughed and spun around with Zachary in her arms before fervently kissing her son. Megan and Miranda then kissed the baby not in their arms before they let their children down.

"Mum, dad. We've missed you."Miranda smiled as she embraced her father, who beamed as he hugged his daughter and daughter in law in a massive bear hug. "I've missed you girls too. How're things out there?"He asked, kissing them on their foreheads before letting them go and hug Carla. "It's getting increasingly desperate out there. It seems like the Reapers are just infinite in number."Megan replied sullenly as she hugged Carla. "I see. By the way, there's a very special guest with us today."Aaron smiled as Rear Admiral Hannah Shepard, Megan's mother, stepped out of the apartment to both Megan and Miranda's very pleasant surprise. "How have my girls been doing out there lately?"Hannah smiled as she hugged her redheaded daughter tightly.

"We've been fine mom. But we would be a whole lot better off without the Reapers."Megan replied, extricating herself from her mother's embrace so that Miranda could hug her mother in law. "I hear that. Goddamn Reapers just show up outta nowhere and wipe out half my fleet in just an hour. It's not war, it's a fucking massacre."Hannah cursed as Carla turned on her. "Language Hannah! The kids are here and they're just learning how to speak!"The blonde chided the Rear Admiral sternly as Hannah's expression turned from disgust to an 'oops I'm sorry' one while her hand flew up to cover her mouth. Megan and Miranda chuckled a little at Hannah's slip up as they held onto their children.

"I agree...by the way, isn't Admiral Hackett in command of the 5th Fleet? What did you mean by 'my fleet'?"Miranda asked her mother in law as they all headed inside into Aaron's impressive penthouse. "Well, he's now in command of the entire Alliance Navy as it is due to the fact that Miller's too busy trying to organize the troops on Earth. So I automatically got bumped up to being in command of the 5th Fleet."Hannah explained as they all sat down on the huge asari velvet lounge sofa, sold only in the most upscale furniture retailers on Thessia and the Citadel. "Well congrats mom. You deserve to be in command of the fleet." Megan hugged and kissed her mother, who returned the gesture just as Oriana showed up, getting loving hugs and kisses from Aaron and Carla.

"Thanks Megpie. I always thought that getting promoted to fleet commander would be an exciting thing, but now all I feel is dread. I mean, we're facing down a bunch of fu-um...metallic squids who can utterly destroy a freakin' dreadnought with just one shot from that laser of theirs, but they all they get from simultaneous volleys from 5 goddamn dreadnoughts at the same time are a coupla scratches! I really, really hate this. I-I just don't know if I'm prepared to take so many losses."Hannah ranted as Megan put a comforting hand on her mother's shoulder. "Well, I didn't expect you to be here. What are you even doing here? I thought you'd be with the rest of the navy at Horsehead Nebula."Miranda quickly changed the subject as Carla poured tea for everyone.

"Well, the Orizaba was too badly damaged from battle to be repaired without being in dry dock, so Hackett ordered me and the all other ships that needed dry dock repairs to head to the safest dry dock still in friendly hands, which is why we're here."Hannah replied as she smiled gratefully at Carla as she accepted the cup of tea from her. "Wait, did you say that one Reaper ship wouldn't go down even though you had 5 dreadnoughts concentrating fire on it at the same time?"The redheaded Spectre asked. "Yep. The big ones just refused to die before it blew up a ship or two. According to the battle read outs, 5 dreadnoughts bring the shields of the Reapers down to near failure, and I saw a few big Reapers go down in flames after a half dozen or more dreadnoughts focused fire on one ship."

"Good lord. Erin is going to need to update her battle data."Oriana sighed in depression as she sipped her tea. "The mood on the Citadel ranges from blissful ignorance to outright panic and fatalism right now, depending on which part you're in. I really don't know which is better: to be ignorant to the point of stupidity, or to be scared out of your bloody wits and paranoid."Aaron chipped in, shaking his head wearily. "So is the Citadel safe? After all, the Reapers did wreck this station quite badly about 6 years ago."Carla asked worriedly as Hannah nodded. "It's pretty safe Carla. We've got over half the Alliance Navy in here, and the Citadel Defense Fleet, which is twice its previous strength, guarding this station. Plus, the Reapers seem to be concentrating on planets instead of space stations."

"But didn't you just say that all the Alliance ships here are dry docked? How are they going to fight?"Carla asked worriedly as Megan leaned forward. "Carla, don't worry. We will defend the Citadel from attack by the Reapers. Besides, the Reapers seem to want to capture this station, not destroy it. Plus, if the Citadel were under attack, you can bet every credit you have that Hackett will send the entire Alliance navy here to defend the station. And the salarians and asari will send their fleets here as well."The redhead reassured her mother in law as Carla just nodded. "Well, when you put it like that...I'm not completely reassured but it's still some hope."She offered weakly.

"I understand mum. Oh Tabby, you miss mommy already?"Miranda cooed as Tabitha groped at her sleeve, lifting the small girl up into her arms and showering wet kisses on her, cashing her to coo and squeal with delight. The rest of the family smiled as Hannah snatched Zachary into her arms, standing up and spinning around as he laughed in pure glee at his grandmother's playfulness. The Admiral set her grandson down, letting him patter around the room and Megan playfully chased him, causing him to squeal in renewed delight as Miranda set Tabitha down as well and they both began chasing Megan. The rest of the day passed quickly this way with the entire family playing with the children till everyone was exhausted.

The next morning, Megan and Miranda left for Huerta Memorial Hospital to see how Captain Thomas David Hansen, Cerberus Operatives Nicole Reid and Michael were doing. They were greeted by Doctor Chloe Michel, Thomas' girlfriend. "Good morning. I assume you're here to check up on Tom and the other 2?"The French doctor asked. "Yes. How're they doing?"Megan asked as the trio walked to the ward where Thomas and Michael were in. "Thomas and Nicole are recovering excellently, and they can be discharged today. Michael, on the other hand, has to remain warded for 1 more week for observation. He came in with a deflated lung, multiple broken rib bones, and a concussion."Chloe briefed them as they took the lift up to the 10th floor.

"So Thomas' severe concussion, fractured tibia and 3 slipped spinal discs are all healed? And Nicole's bullet wounds are also healed?"Miranda asked as she silently thanked God for the hospital lifts being considerably faster than the average ones elsewhere. "Nicole's wounds are almost fully healed, but she'll still be sore. Thomas' fractured tibia needs at least 1 more month before it'll hold up in combat, but his concussion and slipped discs are healed."Chloe replied as the lift reached the 10th floor, letting the 3 women out onto the 10th floor. When they walked into the ward, they saw both Thomas and Michael sitting up in bed, eating breakfast as they commented on the news reports showing on the holoscreen in front of them.

"Hey Chloe-oh, didn't see you there Megan. Morning to you too Miranda."Thomas greeted the women as he sipped on his tea. "How's my adorable idiot doing today?"Chloe asked lovingly as she sat down next to Thomas while Megan and Miranda took a seat in the space between Thomas' and Michael's beds. "How're you holding up Michael?"Megan asked as the Cerberus sniper gingerly swallowed his bite of eggs and toast. "Not too bad ma'am. I hurt a lot less, and my breathing is back to normal."He replied. "That's good to hear. By the way, just call me Shepard or Captain. No need to go all formal on my ass."The redhead smiled as he nodded, his face scrunching up slightly in pain as he shifted position.

"Got it Cap. So, you've been busy huh?"The sniper asked as Megan nodded and Miranda began to tell him all about the mission to Menae as Thomas and Chloe listened closely as well. When Miranda was done recounting the mission, Thomas whistled lowly. "Reaperized krogan with 30 mil armor plates? Bloody hell, the only thing I can think of that'll punch through that is a Widow." "Either that, or you just shoot a fucking rocket down their throats. I'd go for the second option any day."Michael piped up, sharing the same sentiments about the Reaper forces as Thomas. After a few more minutes of small talk, Chloe, Megan and Miranda bade farewell to the 2 snipers before heading to Nicole's ward.

When they got there, they found Nicole sitting in the armchair reading a datapad, all bundled up in a blanket. When the 3 women entered, the blonde biotic squeaked in shock as she gripped the blanket closer to herself and stood up. "Quick, close the door! I'm completely naked under this blanket!"Nicole chattered in a panic as she quickly jumped behind the closet, shielding herself from the view of anyone who might be outside. Chloe quickly shut the door as Nicole hastily threw on some underwear and a hospital gown before stepping out from behind the closet, wincing as her wounds protested against the quick actions. "Why on Earth would you be naked-oh. Nicole..."Miranda smirked teasingly as she recalled the sight of Nicole reading a datapad before she dropped it.

"Wh-no! No! I wasn't masturbating! I wasn't watching porn either!"Nicole protested vehemently as her large almond-shaped eyes got even bigger and her thick lips stuck out in an amusing manner as she got increasingly agitated. "Mhm. So what were you reading then, pornographic fan fiction?"Megan asked, totally amused by the entire situation as she grabbed the datapad, narrowly missing the blonde Cerberus Operative's desperate attempt to snatch the datapad before she did. The redhead then powered up the screen while Miranda leaned in to see that Nicole was indeed reading erotica. It was a newly released hit novel titled '15 Facets of Grey', and its readers were mainly human women and asari ranging from teenagers to matriarchs.

"15 Facets of Grey, hmm Nicole? Never read it but I heard it's just pure written BDSM smut."Miranda chuckled. "I have that novel and I must say that it is just pure uncensored pornography in literary form."Chloe added on with an evil giggle as Nicole just blushed a deep crimson red, halfheartedly snatching her datapad back from Megan who was howling with laughter. When they were done teasing Nicole, Megan left the blonde the location of the Normandy and instructed her to grab whatever gear she had and report to the Normandy by 2100 on the same night.

Just as Megan and Miranda left Nicole's ward, they ran right into Thane Krios, the drell assassin who was formerly part of their crew. "Thane! I haven't seen you in ages! How've you been?"Megan asked as she hugged the drell with her wife. "Shepard. Miss Lawson. It's great to see you both again. I've been doing well after Professor Solus created a treatment for me that halts the progression of my disease."Thane greeted politely as Miranda smiled. "Just call me Miranda, Thane. I'm no longer Miss Lawson but Mrs. Shepard now. So I assume that it's much easier for you to breathe now?"She asked, recalling the times when she had noticed Thane having trouble breathing when they were taking down the Collectors.

"Ah I see. Congratulations to the both of you. Yes, breathing is much easier for me now. However, it has not reversed the damage done to my organs, but I still have a full life ahead of me. I am grateful for that as it now gives me time to reconnect with my son."Thane replied. "I see. It's great to know that you're doing fine. Does it hurt?"The redhead asked. "Not at all. Professor Solus' cure has made the oxygen transfer proteins in my blood form correctly. I no longer experience dizziness due to a lack of oxygen, but the damage done before I was administered the cure is still there."The assassin replied.

"Is there any chance that you could come back to the Normandy, Thane? We would really benefit from having you in our combat crew again."Miranda asked hopefully. "While the offer greatly appeals to me, I'm afraid I have to turn it down. That season of my life has passed, and I'm happy with my current situation."Thane politely declined as Megan and Miranda just nodded. "By the way, what're you doing here Thane?"Megan asked the drell. "Ah, I had just finished teaching a healing meditation class. I also instruct the physical rehabilitation program here. I prefer to remain close to Kolyat. Also, the Professor's cure is administered to me here."Thane explained.

"I see. Take care of yourself Thane."Miranda wished him as they shook hands before Megan shook hands with the drell as well. "May Arashu keep you both safe. Farewell."Thane wished the both of them before they went along their way. "Well, it was great to see Thane again. You ready to say goodbye to Zack and Tabby yet?"Megan asked as they stepped into the lift. "No. I wish we didn't have to leave them, but...I just hope we stop these Reapers soon."Miranda replied sadly. "Me too Miri. Me too."The redhead replied quietly as they headed back to Aaron Lawson's penthouse. The minute they stepped out of the aircar, they were pounced upon by their children, making it even harder for the couple to say goodbye to their children. When they were about to leave, both Zachary and Tabitha grabbed them and refused to let them go, repeatedly calling "Mama, mama!"

This brought Megan and Miranda to tears as they promised their children and parents that they would return safely and stop the Reapers. "I promise that I'll do my best to stay in one piece and defeat these Reapers, ok? And mom, dad, please take good care of Zack and Tabby for me."Megan pleaded with her eyes brimming with tears as Hannah hugged her tightly while Aaron nodded. "I promise Megpie. Now get out there and give the Reapers hell."The Admiral promised as she savored the embrace. "Hey Zack, Tabby, mama has to go and fight the big war but I promise I'll be home soon ok?"Miranda sniffled as she planted a firm kiss upon each of her children's cheek, hugging them close before she broke away and hugged her parents. "I promise the same thing to you as well."The brunette whispered as both her father and stepmother hugged her tightly. "I believe in you Miranda and Oriana. Stay safe out there while you win this, alright?"Aaron choked as he hugged his daughters tightly. "Yes dad."Both Lawson daughters replied in tearful unison. 15 minutes later, the 3 women left to take on the Reapers once more.

3 Days Later

"Megan, there's a commissar right around the corner. Take him out."Miranda, who was the mission overseer, informed her wife as she stared at the holographic display which followed the squad on a top down view. Megan, Garrus, Ashley, Jacob, James, Erin, Nyla, Jentha, Danner, Feron and Liara were on the ground on Eden Prime, where a sprawling Prothean underground complex had been discovered by Liara. They were there on a retrieval mission, and they were unfortunately too late to save the 2000 plus colonists and the marine company that were on the planet when the Reapers invaded. "Roger that, I got him."Megan whispered back before quickly reaching around the corner, grabbing the turian husk by its armored collar and plunging her knife into the turian's eyebrow ridge, her stab enhanced by her biotics for a silent instant kill.

"Alright, you're cleared to move. Be careful, that group of cannibals is turning back."Miranda informed the squad as they quickly but stealthily rushed up from habitation module to habitation module, staying undetected by the Reaper troops. "Trio of husks up ahead."The brunette Sentinel chimed in over the comms as Feron stalked up. "I got them."The drell information broker and assassin rasped as he rushed out, silently killing the 3 husks with a series of quick blows and kicks. "That was good. Not quite Thane's level, but still pretty damn impressive."Garrus commented quietly as the squad rushed into a habitation module to avoid a wandering brute.

"A Cerberus riot shield? Cerberus rifles alongside Alliance X8s? What the hell?"Ashley wondered. "Cerberus had a research team here researching the Prothean beacon that Captain Shepard activated during the Saren episode. Guess the Cerberus squad sent here to extract them failed."Nicole explained as she sat next to Miranda, keenly watching the ongoing operation. "Whoo. Cerberus has their fingers in almost everything, don't they?"James muttered softly as Nyla peered out of a window to see the brute threatening a cannibal before moving off. "Huh. Just saw a brute that looked like it was threatening a cannibal."Nyla snorted as she motioned for the squad to move out.

“New shit every day huh?”Jacob grunted as he biotically pulled a cannibal around the corner to himself, quickly plunging his combat knife into its neck before it could alert the other Reaper troops. “I’d rather be dull and boring than seeing more horrors every day. Move out.” Megan muttered as she led the way outside and towards the dig site without further incident. When they reached the ExoGeni site office, Oriana paged them. “Team, according to recon imagery that we just took, there’s a pod on the 5^th floor in a high security vault that’s behind two other barriers, and from the X-Ray imaging, there’s somebody inside that pod. The best part is that the signature within the pod is of an unknown species. Exercise extreme caution.”The younger Lawson twin warned them as they snuck into the office.

“Alright team, bad news. According to thermal imagery, the Prothean complex is overrun with literally hundreds of husks. There’s no way you’re going to be able to get in there without bringing the entire Reaper force on this colony down on yourselves. The good news is that from the data EDI managed to glean from the ExoGeni servers, the complex has been explored completely, and all the Prothean data and relics that could be recovered have all been stored in the ExoGeni facility you’re in right now. Most of it is in the basement bunker, one floor below you. The facility is deserted, but just be quiet.”Miranda informed them as Megan turned to her team. “Alright, Erin and I will get to that pod. Everyone else, grab and secure all the data that you can.”The redhead ordered as everyone moved out.

“Wait, Shepard! I’m coming with you. As crazy as it may seem, the pod may contain…a prothean.”Liara said as she ran to catch up to Erin and Megan. “A prothean? In that pod?”The redhead wondered as the trio hustled up the steps. “It seems like a logical but farfetched conclusion given the situation.”Erin breathed heavily as they finally reached the 5^th storey and Erin began hacking the security systems of the barriers, bringing both down after a minute or so. “This vault is going to take me awhile to crack. I may need 2 minutes.”The blonde android informed Megan as she began to work on unlocking the vault. “Just make it quick as possible.”Megan whispered back as she did a quick sweep of the 5^th floor, which consisted of just a security office with large floor to ceiling windows looking out to the colony and the vault.

“Alright, I’m in.”Erin announced a couple of minutes later as the vault doors hissed open to reveal the pod in question. They walked up to it, and Megan tapped at the pod’s console when it appeared. It was surprisingly familiar to her and she had no trouble opening the pod to reveal a figure that was coated in a thin sheen of frost and was clad in armor that looked more ceremonial than combat-ready. “There. You’ve got it-goddess.”Liara breathed in exhilaration as Megan studied the unconscious form which closely resembled the Collectors that she had vanquished 4 years ago. “It may take him some time to fully regain consciousness.”The Shadow Broker continued as Megan noticed the frost melting off.

“According to the tests that I’ve run against the historical DNA records of protheans, this is a real live prothean.”Erin said as she gazed at the prothean, still in disbelief. The prothean then began to stir, groaning audibly as his 4 eyes surveyed his surroundings. He then tensed up, launching a biotic field that caught the trio off guard and sent them tumbling backwards a meter or so. He then staggered out of his pod before faceplanting on the steel floor hard, his enforced stasis obviously taking its toll on him. He got up just as Megan and Erin managed to get to their feet and began running away unsteadily. “Be careful, he’s confused!”Liara warned as she got up to her feet, slowly trailing Megan who was running after the prothean. The prothean stumbled into the security office, stopping dead as he surveyed the view before him, clearly in disbelief.

“Remember, it’s been 50,000 years for us, but for him it’s only been a few minutes-”Liara began but never got to finish her sentence as Megan firmly grasped the prothean’s shoulder, sending both him and Megan into a seizure of some sort. A few seconds later, they broke apart, Megan grasping her head as Erin rushed up to see if she was okay. “How many others?”The prothean spoke for the first time in a deep, guttural voice as Liara put her pistol away. “Just you left, apparently.”The asari replied, getting a growl from the prothean. “You can understand us?”Erin asked. “Yes, now that I have read the physiology and nervous system of the woman you are next to. Enough to understand your language.”The prothean replied. “And what did I just see? All I saw was fire, explosions and then something closed over me.”Megan asked.

“The last moments of the Prothean Empire. Our failure.”He explained. “Your people did everything they could and never quit. I could definitely use that kind of commitment in this war.”Megan replied before Miranda cut in. “Is that really a prothean? What’s your status?” “Prothean? Where? Anyways, the Captain, Erin and the asari are upstairs. The rest of us are in the bunker downloading everything and grabbing as many prothean relics as we can.”Danner replied. “Asari…humans…I’m surrounded by primitives!”The prothean exclaimed in disdain as he sized up the 3 women before him. “This place is a goddamn killing field. Will you join us?”Megan asked. “You fight the Reapers?”The prothean asked, to which Megan just nodded.

“Then we will see.”The prothean replied, staring at the hand that Megan had offered him before sharply turning on his heels and marching away. “Wait! What was your name!”Liara called out as he stopped, turning around to face the trio. “I am Javik, the Avatar of Vengeance for the Prothean people.”He growled as the trio caught up to him. “A real prothean. I…I never thought-wow. Just…wow.”Liara whispered, awestruck beyond belief as Megan paged her team. “Hey guys, wrap it up quickly and get everything ready for the exfil. Cortez, bring the shuttle in on the roof of ExoGeni. None of you are gonna believe what we just picked up.”Megan snorted as she recalled Jacob’s words. Yup, new shit every day is barely even covering it. The redhead thought as she headed up to the roof with the prothean Javik.

Final notes: And there you have it, introducing everyone’s favorite grumpy prothean, Javik! The next chapter will be dialog and crew interaction, and contains no action. But then again, if you guys wanted action, you’d just play the game and get grenade spammed Call of Duty style right? Seriously, the game play in ME3 is nothing more than a rip off of CoD and Gears of War that doesn’t know what it wants to be with some powers thrown in just to keep it from being a complete rip off of said games. Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, and review before you go.
