Lost Legacy(2){ReaderxMassEffect}

~~~Walking through the Woods~~~

Liara’s slap was no numb on your cheek but you anger and frustration lingered. Garrus, you father, how dare he question your power and thoughts. You had reached a clearing punched the ground. Your biotic shockwave split the ground and toppled trees. You used pull to bring the fallen trees to you and one by one you punch though them shattering each into splinters.

“AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!” you screamed breathe heavy.

It started to rain and you put up a barrier to keep you from getting soaked as you silently calmed yourself only to start crying.

A headache began to set in and you brought a hand to rub your temple. Your vision was blurring and someone was walking toward you. Your guard was up and the figure stopped a few feet in front of you. You vision cleared and you saw the N7 armor.

“Commander…” you muttered.

“I thought you would have called me “Mom” but I will take Commander for now.” A gentle smile crossed her lips.

“How are you here? Am I losing my mind?” You questioned.

“No, no you’re not going crazy. My choice to combine organic and synthetic life has resulted in some unique side effects.” She said.

“What do you mean?”

“We can communicate across the stars without com links. Like how I am talking to you right now.”

“That’s impossible…”

“I thought so to, until now but…” She looked down at her hands.

“But what?”

“I can’t control it, what you’re seeing I guess is the only image of me that Miranda continuously embedded into your memory. I know this is definitely not what I really look like right now.”

“Wait you survived?!” You exclaimed.

“I don’t know if you can call this surviving” She gestured to herself

“This is good…right? You may be alive and that means we can try to make our way to Earth and…”

“It’s not that simple, the Mass Relays are gone and travel is difficult.”

“I will find a way Commander…I…what’s happening?”

The Commander’s figure was flickering and fading.

“…told you…can’t…control…link…will…see…you…again…don’t…know…”

And with that she was gone, you were left alone but she was here, she spoke to you. You thought you would never get the chance to hear her voice again, even if it was always a one-way conversation with you listening in your tube.

Something moved in your range of vision and you stasis’d the crap out of it.

“Now that’s impressive.” A voice of curiosity said.

“Who are you? Better yet where are you? You demanded.

“Clearly you caught me in stasis but my cloaking hasn’t been disabled.”

“Answer the question, who are you?”

There was a flicker and hooded woman appeared suspended in the air because of your stasis energy.

“Katsumi, the thief?” you said stopping our stasis.

“You know who I am, that’s just as interesting as you being Shepard’s daughter.” She gracefully dropped to the ground.

“How are you here?”

“I stowed away on the Normandy when the fighting got worse. After the crash I have been scouting around the area.”

“How did you know I was Shepard’s daughter?”

“I found you when I stowed away, didn’t know what you were at first but after some clever hacking I found out Miranda’s plan. We had a nice chat while you were asleep.” A quick curl of her lips revealed a smile.

“But I wasn’t awake so how could you…”

“Of course you didn’t talk back still it was nice not to be alone during the wild ride escaping the Mass Relay explosions.”

You looked Katsumi over and crossed your arms.

“We better head back then, the crew would like to know that you to have survived.”

“Not everyone made it…did they?” Katsumi asked walking in step with you.

You sighed lowering your head a bit.

“No.”

~~~Back at the Normandy~~~

“She has been gone a long time.” James said.

“She can take care of herself.” Garrus huffed

“Whoa you’re being a little harsh there with that tone.” Joker piped up.

“His frustration is well placed knowing the Shepard has shown no restraint or care for her powers or the Commander.” EDI said sitting next to Joker.

“She is just as frustrated, I should not have hit her.” Liara said.

“She will shake it off, she may not be krogan but she has a quad.” Grunt laughed in amusement.

The elevator opened and everyone turned his or her heads as you came around the corner.

“Welcome back Shepard.” EDI greeted.

“Uh Hi…I found someone you all know. Katsumi.” You gestured behind you.

Katsumi walked into view and everyone stood.

“Hello.” She said all up beat.

While everyone gathered around her, you walked off into the med bay. Dr. Chakwas was running inventory on the medical supplies.

“Doctor…”

“Yes…Shepard.” She looked sad to see you.

“Do you know anything about what we can or can not do with our new DNA?”

“No but Liara and I are getting our research under way to see what changes were made to all of our genetic material.”

You scratched your head but stopped when you felt something rough. You looked at your hand and scales on the back of hand along with longer nails. Your reaction was one of horror but of slightly freaked.

“Your turian DNA is starting to manifest after being suppressed during your development. You will see slight changes to your physical appearance as well as internally. We will have to keep an eye on these changes.” Dr. Chakwas looked at your hands.

You didn’t tell her about seeing your mother, you wanted to make sure you could see her again before telling anyone. You felt someone watching you, looking out the med bay window you caught Garrus watching you. You held the gaze for a moment before he walked away.

“Give him time.”

“Huh?” You looked back at Chakwas.

“Give them all time, we as a crew have been through a lot.
