(Chris, Henry Jr., and Hayley are chatting among each other)

Henry Jr.: “So you’re telling me, Wyatt tried to kill you?”

Hayley: “Like, kill – kill you?”

Chris: “Yea, he actually did.” *looks over to Wyatt* “I can’t stand him sometimes, but he’s my brother, and I still love him.”

Melinda: *reads Wyatt’s mind* “He’s thinking the same thing Chris.”

Chris: “Didn’t mom tell you stop reading people mind?”

Henry Jr.: “Yo, you can read minds Mel?” “That’s sick!”

Hayley: “Neither me nor Henry didn’t come into our powers till we were 10-years-old!”

Henry Jr.: “You’re like 2, right?”

Melinda: *gives Henry Jr. a dirty look. * “Just because my birthday is on a Leap Day, doesn’t mean I’m 2-years-old stupid!”

Piper: “You sir, have gotten out of hand!” “You used magic in public, that one!” “You used magic on your father, that two!” “You used magic-”

(Leo steps in and cuts Piper off.)

Leo: “Piper, let him catch a break”

Piper: *exhale* “You’re grounded, for 2 weeks!” “No magic, no video games, no hanging out afterschool for anything!”

(The orbs shift into a form of a lock and magically goes into Wyatt.)

Piper: “When I meant no magic, I meant it.”

(Wyatt walks away.)

Phoebe: “Piper sweetie, I don’t think that was a smart idea.”

Piper: “Whenever that” *points to Phoebe’s pregnant stomach* “comes into his powers, then you can do whatever you want to do with him and his powers.”

Paige: “Uhm, I have kids.” “Matter-of-fact, they developed powers similar to yours Piper.” “Honey, I feel like you did the wrong thing.”

(Piper sits down in a chair.)

(She fixes her long-layered bangs and crosses her legs.)

Piper: “What's done is done.” “I didn’t strip him of his powers, I just put a child lock on them so he can’t use them freely.”

[Scene: Still in Magic school, cuts back to Chris, Henry Jr, Hayley, and Melinda.]

(Chris, Henry Jr, Hayley, and Melinda are still chatting among each other.)

(Wyatt walks over.)

Wyatt: “Chris, can I talk to you?”

Chris: “Yes.”

(Chris and Wyatt walk over to the side from everyone else.)

Wyatt: “You know, I never had the attendance to harm you.” “I never should have used magic on you in the first place.”

Chris: “I never should have cut you off or be an asshole to you, or even st-.”

Wyatt: “Stop it Chris.” “I was in the wrong also.” “For god shakes, I almost killed you!”

Chris: “Can we agree, not to kill each other?”

Wyatt: “I can’t make any promises.” *laughs*

(Wyatt and Chris hug.)

Henry: “Ok kids, it’s time to go to school go to bed.”

(Demon shimmers into the underworld.)

Demon with shimmering power: “Prue Halliwell.” “What the hell are you doing here?”

Prue: “Haven’t you heard,” (hopes down from the throne.) “I’m here to run this place.” *flips hair* “And you are?”

Zygon: “Zygon.” “I’ve heard about you.”

Prue: “Ahh, do tell.”

(Zygon walks up to Prue.)

Zygon: *walking circles around Prue* “The Charmed One.” “The Power of Three.” “A trio, well quartet, of sister witches.” “Destined to serve the good and good only.”

Prue: *nods her head* “Stop.” “For starts,” *flips hair* “I’m not a good witch.” “I don’t do good.”

Zygon: “Oh, Honey, do you even remember yourself?” “You’re one of them.” “But something is different about you.”

(Zygon stare into Prue’s eyes.)

Zygon: “You’re newly empowered.”

Prue: “What does that even means?”

Zygon: *still circling walking around Prue* “The Window of Opportunity, my dear.”

“Prue: “What does that mean?”

Zyon: “You, can easily be persuaded to be either good or evil.” “By the looks of it, you’re already chosen that path.”

(Prue folds her arms.)

Prue: “I got to get my hands on that book.”

Zygon: “What book.” “Are you referring to The Grimoire?”

Prue: *little smirk*“No, stupid” “It’s this book, that I keep having flashes about.” “Ritch-violet, red cover, with the named engraved into it, kind of on the smaller side.”

Zygon: “Never heard of it.”

Prue: “Maybe those women who called me their ‘sisters’ have it.”

Zygon: “Might I say, I could be some help.”

(Prue uses telekinesis tosses Zygon into a wall.)

(Prue then uses telekinesis to pin him down on the floor.)

Darryl: “But ho- how?”

(Paige explains to Darryl how Prue came back in further details.)

(Darryl walks out his office.)

Darryl *in a loud voice*: “Alright, we are putting IP out for a ‘Jane Doe’.” “Caucasian, black hair, green eyes, mid-to late 40’s.”

Darryl: “She, doesn’t remember herself.”

[Scene: 9:20 am- Living Quarters at Magic School with Paige, Phoebe, and Coop.]

(Paige hangs up the phone with Darryl.)

Phoebe: “So, what did he say?”

Paige: “Well, he placed an IP out for her, just in case she decides to resurface back on the Earth place.”

Phoebe: “Maybe I could sense her to see if she did.”

Coop: “Phoebe, I don’t think it would be good to use your powers to the distinctive level.” “It might induce your labor.”

Phoebe: This is my sister for god shakes, I at least have to try.”

(Paige pulls Coop to the side.)

Paige: “Piper, Leo and I are going to speak The Tribunal.”

Coop: “The Tribunal?” “Why?”

Paige *bobbing her head*: “For starters, we don’t know, hell, nobody from ‘Up there,’ knows about the book.” “Maybe The Tribunal could help.”

Coop: “Last time you all went there for help, they stripped Phoebe of her powers.” “We don’t know what they might do to Piper for finding the book, let alone for Wyatt for casting a spell.”

(Piper walks in.)

Piper: “That’s a risk I’m willing to take.” “We are all willing to take.” *walks closer to Paige and Coop* “We need answers, and we need them now.” “Even if that requires a consequence of having are powers striped, goddamnit, I’m willing to do so.”

(Leo walks in.)

Paige: “Are you ready?”

Piper and Leo: “Yes.”

(Piper and Leo hold on to Paige and orbs out, leaving Coop with Phoebe.)

Phoebe: “I need complete quietness, please.”

(Phoebe closes her eyes and starts of sensing for Prue)

Phoebe: “I can’t sense her.”

Coop: “Phoebe, I think you should stop.”

Phoebe: “Instead of me sensing her like any other normal person, I’m going to try sensing her through are blood relationship.”

(Phoebe was able to sense her.)

(Phoebe starts to levitate)

Coop *with panic in his voice*: “Phoebe, stop.” “You’re scarring me.”

Phoebe: “I can sense her.” “She’s not in The Underworld, but where?”

(Phoebe’s eyes turn pure white as her premonition power kicks to get a glace of the area.)

(*flashes* The San Francisco Police Department.)

(*flashes* Prue walking into the station.)

(*astral premonition in an invisible form*)

Darryl: “Prue, you don’t have to do this.”

Prue: “Oh, but I do.” “If you’re going to put an IP on me,” *punches Darryl* “leave a women age out of it!” “Oh look, I got blood on your white shirt.” “To bad.”

(Darryl passes out.)

(Prue hears astral Phoebe’s thoughts.)

(Prue starts to chant.)

Prue: “What is not seen”

“Make seen”

(astral Phoebe visibly fades into a corporal form.)

(Prue gives an evil smirk.)

astral Phoebe: “How can yo-”

Prue: “- You read thoughts?” “I guess my powers are growing also.” “I don’t know where you and your *air quotes* sisters hiding, I will get you.” “I will get that book.” “And I will be the new Queen of the Underworld.” “LEAVE!”

(Premonition ends.)

(Phoebe flops back down to the grown from levitating.)

Piper: “Well, I found this book while having work done at the manor and I came across this book with the title Book of Damned.’”

(All the Tribunal have a puzzled look on their face.)

(Start to whisper among each other.)

Piper: “Helllo people, we still need answer?”

Crill: “Book of Damned goes back to Salm Witch times.”

Paige: “That is why we seen Melinda Warren in Phoebe’s vision.”

Thrask: “As long as nobody cast a spell from that book, we should be fine.”

(Piper, Paige, Leo give each other a startled look.)

Leo: “Why not?”

Adair: “That book is magically linked to Letitia Gannibal.”

Piper: “I’m sorry who again?”

Crill: “Letitia Gannibal” “Just like how the Warren- Halliwell bloodline stared, the Gannibal-Bennett line started.” “She’s was the first of her bloodline to earn magic also.”

Thrask: “Instead of using her magic for good, she used it for evil.” “Starting the mythological of The Window of Opportunity.”

Paige: “What would happen if such casts a spell from the Book of Damned?

Adair: “If anyone casts a spell out of that book, will awaken Letitia herself!”

Leo: “Well we have a problem.”

Piper: “Wyatt cased a resurrecting spell, which brought back Prue from the dead.” “She doesn’t remember her and she’s using magic for evil acts.”

Adair: “Prue is going through the Window of Opportunity, meaning that she has 48 hours to choose a side to align with.”

Piper: “What the hell you mean the Window of Opportunity, she was already a good witch!”

Thrask: “By the looks of it, she self-choice evil.” “She has time to algin with good if she pleases.”

(The Tribunal looks among each other.)

Crill: “As for Wyatt, he will be held accountable for his acts for using forbidden magic.”

(The Tribunal summons Wyatt present.)

Wyatt: “Why am I here?”

Thrask: “Wyatt Halliwell, you are charged with using forbidden magic, by awaking a force of evil.”

Wyatt *with range in his voice*: “How the hell I suppose to know it was an evil book.” “Bullshit!”

Piper: “Language, mister!”

Wyatt: “I want a trial!” “I demand a trail now!”

Thrask: “Piper, Paige, I’ve just been informed that Phoebe just had her baby.”

Piper: “Paige you go back and check up on Phoebe, I’m staying her.” “There is no way in hell they are going to strip Wyatt of his powers.”

Adair: Actually Ms. Halliwell, we prefer Leo to stay while you and Paige go back to aid your sister.

(Piper rolls her eyes.)

Paige: Piper sweetie, just come on.

Piper: “Fine!” “Leo, let me know what happens.” Don’t leave any details ou—”

(Paige orbs her and Piper out before Piper gets to finish her word.)

Crill: “Let the trail begin.”

Adair: “For the plaintiff side, we have Zankou”

Leo: “Zankou!?”

(Zankou is summoned in flames)

Zankou: “Miss me?”

Thrask: For the dependent side we have Kyra.”

(Kyra is summoned in white orbs.)

Phoebe *smiling, crying*: “Dedicated after are father Victor.”

Coop: “He weighted a whooping 9 pounds.”

Paige: “Well, we know he was going to be healthy because Phoebe kept her mouth stuffed with food.”

Phoebe: “Hello, right here!”

(Everyone busted into laughter.)

Phoebe: “We got to get Prue, because she has Darryl in the Underworld.”

Piper: “That’s it.”

Paige: “What Piper.”

Piper: “She has to go.” “Paige orb me to the manor to get the book to from the attic.” “

Paige: “Piper, she’s are sister.” “You just can’t vanquish her like any other demon.”

Piper: “Are Prue died in 2001.” *in tears* “Are Prue would never attack a friend, yet alone an innocent.” *wipes tears* “She needs to be vanquished.”

Phoebe: “Hey, we are not vanquishing our sister Piper.”

(Phoebe climbs out the bed.)

Phoebe: “I got an idea.” *wipes the tears off of Piper’s face* “It requires the Book of Shadows and Sheila.”

[Scene: 2:50 pm- In the Underworld with Prue, Darryl, and Zygon.]

(Prue has Darryl pinned down in a chair.)

(Prue is sitting in The Source’s throne)

Zygon: “Ahh, for what?”

Prue: “the Book of Damned, dip-shit.” *sighs* “I read your mind when I first meet you and know you was slow.” “But good god, I didn’t know you was this god damn slow.”

(Darryl wakes up dazed)

Darryl: “Pru- Prue?”

Prue *mimicking Darryl*: “Pru- Prue?” “Stop calling my name like that!” You wouldn’t like for me to call your name like that.” “Da- Darryl.”

Darryl: “Why can’t I move?”

Prue: “Because, I’m using my powers to tame you.”

Darryl: “What do you want from me?”

Prue: “It’s not what I want from you” “It’s what I want to trade you for.”

(Darryl brakes loose from Prue’s telepathic withholding.)

(Zygon used his powers to melt Darryl’s shoes in spot.)

Prue*walks up to Darryl*: “Poor Darryl.” now you don’t have any shoes.” “Now, shut up and SITT!”

(Darryl flops to the ground.)

[Scene: 2:45 pm Magic School’s with Phoebe, Piper, Paige, and Sheila.]

(Paige orbs back into Magic school with Piper and Sheila)

Sheila: “So let me get this straight.” *tilts her head at Paige* “You want me to roam free in The Underworld, just to use me as bait?”

Paige: “Yep, that’s the plan.” “But, trust us, we will be right there behind you.”

Piper: “Phoebe what did you want with the book?”

Phoebe: “I’m looking at the binding potion in the book.” “Something had me thinking, what if we tinker with the potion.

Piper: “Go on.”

Phoebe: “Instead of binding with Prue’s powers, we remove them, hoping it would break her from The Window of Opportunity.”

Paige: “That might actually work.”

(Ryan, who is in his bassinet, starting crying.)

Phoebe: “Oh is little Ryan hungry?” “Oh yes he is, Oh yes he is.”

(Sheila walks over to the bassinet.)

Shelia: “He looks just like Coop.”

Phoebe *bottle feeding*: “He really does.”

(Phoebe stops bottle feeding Ryan.)

(She takes him out the bassinet, burps him a couple of times, and places him back in.)

Phoebe *walks over to Coop in the other room*: “Ryan has been feed and sleep.” “I’ve pumped milk just incase he wakes back up.”

Coop: “Phoebe-”

Phoebe: “Be safe, I know.”

(Coop kisses Phoebe on her forehead.)

(Paige, who has already made the revamped binding potion, approaches Phoebe and Coop.)

Paige: “Ready, Phoebe?”

Phoebe *nods*: “Ready”

(Phoebe, Piper, and Shelia holds on to Paige as she orbs them into The Underworld.)

[Scene: 3:00 pm- The Underworld with Phoebe, Piper, and Paige, and Sheila where Prue was with Darryl.]

(Phoebe, Piper, Shelia, and Paige orbed into The Underworld.)

Shelia *running over to Darryl*: “Darryl, oh honey, are you ok?”

(Darryl mouth was shut and he was still.)

Shelia: “Honey what’s wrong?’

Prue *struts out the shadows* *mimicking Shelia*: ““Darryl, oh honey, are you ok?” “No, he’s not.” “He’s under my control.”

(Prue uses advanced telekinesis to throw Shelia.)

(Paige catches Shelia using telekinetic orbing, placing her back on the ground.)

Paige: “I don’t think that’s nice, Prue.”

Prue: “You’re right dear, let me pick on someone my own size.”

(Prue uses advanced telekinesis to create a telekinetic energy ball, and chucks it at Piper, Phoebe, and Paige.)

(Piper explodes it, midway.)

Piper: “Nice try.”

Prue: “I’m going to ask one more time, where is the book!?”

Phoebe*pulls out the Book of Damned*: “This book?”

Prue: “Yep, now be a gem and hand it over, or Darryl here will be a vegetable for the rest of his living, breathing live.”

Piper: “Now!”

(Paige throws the potion as Phoebe opens up the corked glass bottle so that she would be able to capture Prue’s powers.”

Prue: “No!”

(Prue uses advanced telekinesis to have the bottle bust before traveling her way.)

(This causes the bottle to burst in front of Piper instead.)

(The potion working biding every sister power, but Phoebe, that makes them Charmed - Piper’s Molecular Immobilization, Prue’s Telekinesis, and Paige’s Telekinetic Orbing.)

(The bottle then magically teleports back to magic school.)

Prue: “I’ve had it with the games!” *tries to use telekinesis but does not works*

Phoebe: “You know what Prue, me to.”

(Phoebe’s lounges herself using levitation at Prue.)

Phoebe: “Feel this, bitch!”

(Phoebe uses her Empath and Premonition power to make Prue see her childhood and make her experience the emotions that occurred during that time period.)

(It was enough to knock Prue out, releasing Darryl her Telepathic hold.)

(Shelia and Phoebe walks over to help Darryl)

Paige: “Ok, Let’s go now!”

(Paige orbs all of them out of there back to Magic School.)

The Haunting of Villa Diodati

I get to watch Doctor Who on my TV. Yay! First time in weeks there isn’t a Super Bowl or award show.

I literally forgot Cyberman were even coming to this season until I saw commercial advertising the rest of the season that played just now before the episode is starting. But that’s not until the finale I guess.

COSTUMES. PERIOD. COSTUMES. God I love historical episodes. Lord Byron!?!?!?! MRS. SHELLEY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? YESSSSSSSSS Oh I am just so happy right now. At first I was like “Oooohh Northanger Abbey vibes” but no it’s like actual gothic novelists not a girl obsessed with them. Oh Fam. CAN’T SEE THE (ok I don’t know what I started typing here, the next line got me too excited and I forgot to come back to this one) “Because it is a truth universally acknowledged” AHHHHHH. I LITERALLY SCREAMED. IT WAS PROBABLY MORE OF A SQUEAK/SHRIEK THAN A SCREAM BUT STILL. GRAHAM. A MAN AFTER MY OWN HEART. “And nobody snog Byron.” I can’t. AHHH COUNTRY DANCING. Guys. Guys. GUYS. Is this episode made specifically for me!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Well, I’ve never read any Byron or Shelley, but regency era?!?!?! I completely adore it. This poor butler. “How about writing the most gruesome, spine-chilling ghost story of all time?” Doctor. Try to be a bit more subtle.

*Something coming out of the painting* Me: *Thinking of the Kasavin* No... *Something small breaks out of the painting* Me: Oh ok Skeleton hand: *Crawls* Me: NO.

Noooooo there’s a disappearing lady. Oh no Graham’s in a loop. NOOO THERE’S A CHILD. This is like actually creepy. “His answers only increase the enigma” “I know someone like that.” Cue the screams of every Doctor/Yaz shipper ever. Annnndddddd there’s the hand....

This episode. Is like. Everything I want. Period costumes, Regency specifically. Ghosts. Skeletons. Jane Austen references. Country Dances. Love love love love LOVE.

Oh and of course the Doctor gets to wear another outfit, or at least a new vest. Which I love. I want to see what the detailing is. Oh no. Oh NO. BYRON DON’T YOU DARE HIT ON THE DOCTOR. NO. “But she always said there’s no reason not to try.” Awwwwwww. Yeah, how have we met both Ada and Lord Byron in the same season... there’s gotta something there.... Oh Fletcher. He’s so annoyed. He’s either evil or the best person here. THANK GOD FOR FLETCHER. Oh Doctor don’t taste that oh Doctor baby no.... I love/hate Byron being in love with the Doctor. I love it so much but I hate it so much. See. I don’t know enough about Byron. But I vaguely knew he was like... super creepy. And... keeping a 300 year old skeleton from a battle is definitely creepy. “One hand gone.” “Both hands gone.” OH GREAT. DON’T. DON’T EAT THINGS GIVEN BY GHOSTS. OR IS IT FAERIES? EITHER WAY. NO. I mean I guess Graham has no clue. BUT STILL. They’re in a loop too. Byron, stop looking at her like that. Stop it. I refuse. Everyone’s in a loop. Annnndddd that’s a ghost. WAIT IS THE BABY ADA?! Oh no wait never mind it’s William. And yeah ok that’s a person over the lake. NOOOOOOOOOO. NOOOO HE DID NOT JUST WALK THROUGH A WALL. I SAID NO OUT LOUD. Like a dream? Was Poli asleep earlier when Graham got lost? Are they in his dream or something? Did Byron just hide behind her? Oh you coward. Not worthy of my Doctor. “May just say you are quite lovely in a crisis?” OH SHUT UP. A PERCEPTION FILTER?!!?!?!? Yeah ok that’s not fun. A skeleton in the place of a baby. That’s messed up. I feel like so much has happened, but it’s only been a half hour. There’s still 40 minutes, we’re not even halfway through. Where is this going? Also, I’m enjoying it a lot. This isn’t a TARDIS is it? Will the Master pop up? This isn’t like Hide is it? A traveler who we think is evil but is just lost? NOOOOOOO. OH NOOO. I JUST SCREAMED “NOOOOOO” IN COMPLETE AND UTTER FEAR. ANYTHING BUT A CYBERMAN PLEASE.

I didn’t think we’d see the lone Cybermen until the end of the season. I literally rationalized myself into being shocked. If I hadn’t seen the promo, I would have forgotten we’d Cybermen at all, but then I convinced myself we wouldn’t get them yet, and it surprised me.

So. Not like Hide. Definitely evil.

“I will not lose anyone else to that.” OH GOD WHY MUST YOU REMIND ME OF BILL. IT’S BEEN ALMOST 3 YEARS AND I’M NOWHERE NEAR RECOVERED FROM THAT PAIN. DOES HE HAVE A HUMAN EYE? HE’S TRULY UNFINISHED. WAIT THAT’S HALF A NORMAL FACE. NOT THE BABY. This nanny is like the best person ever. I appreciate her trying to save the baby. She did not deserve to die. Oh god it has one human hand. He tried to kiss the baby?!?!?!!? Yaz my girl no you don’t. Don’t look for loopholes. Oh spoilers from the closed captions I guess. It said “Ashad: Funny” so I’m guessing its name is Ashad, and that that’s going to be revealed at some point. I just remembered that the Cyberwoman was also a Chibnall story. Is this his patrially-converted-Cyberman redemption? Yeah the writing on the wall is creepy... Someone get Shelley some help. Who plays the Cyberman? Imagine if we get one of those Cyberbeast things from the Next Doctor. That’d be fun. Maybe I just want to see them again. Oh not Fletcher. “Guard him well.” Soooooo is Byron now a guardian of some sort... Oh cool, Shelley can fight back a bit. Oh great it’s in him. That’s great. That’s fun. Fantastic. Was it Jack who sent it back? Or maybe the Master? Oooh the Doctor is going off on Ryan. That’s some anger. “It’s a mountain. With me in the summit, in the stratosphere, alone. Left to choose.” Oh GOD Doctor. She’s just letting it all out. “A composite of parts?” Oh ok so there’s that inspiration. I was wondering why he hadn’t take the baby with him. I guess he did spare him. Well that sucks. He’s a lone Cyberman, what ship does he have? “We are inevitable.” THE APOTHEOSIS???? Sorry, had to make a StarKid reference. Doctor. Doctor. You had ONE job. Jack told you to do ONE THING. Ok well at least the Doctor’s like “Oh no I am well aware what I did was dumb but I will fix it.” She’s truly learned since she became the Time Lord Victorious when he didn’t care. I’m Mr. Poli half laughing as Miss Clairmont roasts Byron. I had forgotten about the lady and the child for a while though... I did wonder at one point how they fit into all this... and then forgot to keep wondering...

So that was a REALLY fun episode! I am happy with it!

Loved the costumes especially, but that’s just me nerding out.

This episode had me screaming “NOO” out loud multiple times so that’s fun.

I just checked IMDB to look at the cast since so many people looked familiar to me. And I realized that Nicholas Briggs was apparently playing the Cyberman voice again. That makes me so happy.

Update: I actually started proofreading this, then realized the ice cream place near me was closing in a half hour. So I stopped, left and got ice cream, and now i’m back. Yay! Doctor Who and ice cream! And I have the day off tomorrow!

Anyway. Yay! A better partially-converted-Cyberman story! IMDB says Chibnall didn’t write this one, but it’s in his era so I guess we can consider it like a half-redemption.

(Also I don’t even hate Cyberwoman as much as other people do. My biggest complaint with Cyberwoman was her design since they put her in a bikini and heels. The bikini could be justified that it uses less metal and conserves resources, that I can almost accept, but the heels have no justification.)

a few things for fun.

So I wanted to write and thought “might as well make it relevant in my life right now” and anyway, I made a few quick drabbles about my Shepard, Lee Shepard. Mostly rewriting some scenes to be more in character for Lee. They are not all that good and none are beta’d but I figured someone else might enjoy them. There are only four but at least they are short.

UNC:Dead Scientists

“Don’t tell me who I am! You got away with a few scratches and a scary reputation! The rest of the unit died and I was tortured for years. You can’t judge me. You don’t have the right!”

Garrus was many things and observant was one of them. He saw how Shepard’s fist clenched in anger at the accusations. Everyone on the Normandy had heard of the “miraculous” survival of the Commander on Akuze. Once, Garrus even overheard Williams ask him how he handled it and he quickly changed the subject.

“I am very well aware of what happened to the squad, Toombs, but if you kill him right here, then Akuze will just be another accident.” Shepard said in a voice that Garrus had never heard before. Correction. He did hear it once when they were discussing what to do about Saren. It was not angry but not calm either. It seemed plotting but also numb. Either way, it stopped the corpal before he pulled the trigger.

Shepard continues. “You pull that trigger and Akuze becomes just another terrible random thresher maw accident. Do they really deserve that? Ryans, Shapiro, Hazkai. Do they deserve being pushed away as another accident? Is that justice, Toombs?” Toombs is silent. The only sound was the whimpering of the scientists. Then Toombs put his gun down. “No. No they don’t. They don’t deserve that.”

“That’s what I like to hear, corporal. Let me give you a hand,” Shepard says as he takes the gun from the corporel. Garrus is a bit surprised that it worked. “We’ll go back to the Normandy and get you home, Toombs. And we will get him to the Alliance officials.”

“Commander, I-” is all the scientists gets out before Shepard punches him hard, putting him down. Garrus gives Shepard a look as the Specter simply shrugs and says “I didn’t shoot him.”

“I’m surprised you didn’t,” Garrus admits.

“I meant what I said.” That is all Shepard says as they all make it back to the NOrmandy, with Wrex carrying the unconscious scientist. They do not speak of this incident again.

Later, two weeks after the galaxy was saved and Garrus began his Specter training, he got an extranet story about a Cerberus scientist testifying to the Alliance but getting immunity in exchange for his info. Not one second later, the story updated that the scientists had been killed as he left the courthouse. The picture they showed was of the dead man with a shot right in the right pterion. A perfect kill shot.

Garrus couldn’t help but compliment the placement. Shepard always did favor the right side.

Downtime on the Normandy

On a rare moment looking up from his station, Kaiden looks up to see Dr Chakwas, Miss T’soni and Officer Nash from Engineering walk by carrying, of all things, yoga mats. And they all seemed to be heading to the Commander’s office.

Kaiden stood there for a few moments before curiosity got the best of him and he followed them to the office.

Inside seemed to be an impromptu yoga class. A few other crewmen were already there, including, to his surprise, Ashley.

“Chief Williams?” Kaiden says in surprise. Ashley tenses up a bit before facing Kaiden. She was not expecting him to show up while she was in her work out clothes.

Dr Chakwas is glad to see one of her favorite patience. “Alenko, it is good to see you. Will you be joining us today?”

“What is this?”

“What does it look like?” Ashley says sharply, still embarrassed. She adds “Sir” as an afterthought.

Dr Chakwas finds it amusing but continues “Yoga is a great exercise not only to increase flexibility and improve cardiovascular health, but it is a good way of relieving anxiety and improving respiration. You might want to give it a try.”

“Um, I think I’m good. Does the Commander know you are using his office?” Kaiden asks, a bit amused.

“Actually, he-” Ashley begins before the office door opens and in steps the Commander. He is also carrying a mat and, much to Kaiden’s surprise, is wearing what is for sure a work out outfit.

“Alenko, good to see you. Are you here to join us?” the Commander asks.

Shorts. Very short shorts. T-shirt. Very tight t-shirt.

“Alenko?”

“Sir! I mean, no thank you, sir. I-I have a few items I need to finish. Thank you, though.” Kaiden quickly leaves before he says something embarrassing and unprofessional. As he leaves, he observes. He is very good at observing. And what he observes is almost everyone in the office (except perhaps the good doctor herself) staring at the Commander with an appreciative expression. Now he feels even more embarrassed. Maybe some work will help him calm down.

I Remember Me

“Liara, Tali. You two mind waiting here?” Lee asks as casually as he can to his two heavily armed friends. Tali looks skeptical but says “If that is what you wish, commander.” Liara hesitates but nods. ‘“Ok. If you wish,” she says, a little worried. Shepard smiles in such a casual way she can almost ignore how sad his eyes are. “Don’t worry. She is only a danger to herself right now.”

Shepard hands the two his weapons and walks toward the girl. Liara and Tali both hold their breath as they watch the scene unfold from the side.

The girl points the gun in her hand at the Commander. “S--Stop! What do you--What are you?”

Shepard puts his hands in the air. “My name is Shepard. What do I call you?”

“Animals don’t get names,” the girl answers as best she can. “The masters put their symbols on her. Hot metal all over her back. She screams when they do it.”

Shepard's hands seem to twitch. “Think back to the before. You must have had a name your parents called you.”

“T-Talitha. They called her Talitha. She does not remember the rest.”

“Talitha. Ok, Talitha. Let’s start simply. How did you get her, Talitha?” He speaks to her in an even tone. Not as though he is talking to an frightened child but as if he was talking to an old friend. Which, if the file Liara read on him is correct, he might just well be.

“She can’t escape. They have chains. Wires. Needles. You go too far, they take your brains away. Animals like her come. Come with guns. Make the masters explode. She tries to fix the masters, so they won't be mad. But they don’t move. The other animals take her.”

“And now you are here. What was the before, Talitha. Think back to the before.”

Talitha lowers her gun. She seems to be somewhere else for a moment. “Fires. Smell of smoke and burning meat. Animals screaming as the master's cage them. As they put the metal on their backs. Put the wires in their brains. She pretends to be dead. If she is dead, she cannot work. But they know. She hope’s they’ll leave. But they put her in the pin.

“Clever girl. Pretending to be dead like that. I am so sorry it did not work. But that was the right thing to do.”

“S-she doesn’t want to be there anymore. In the pin. In the cage.”

Shepard takes a cautious step forward.

Talitha raises her gun again. “No! She’s no good! Don’t want to be handled again!”

Shepard stops in his tracks. Liara finds herself not breathing as he does.

Talitha hits her head in frustration. “No! She doesn’t want to see the other animals! They’re not real. They can’t be real. They can’t see her. If the animals can see her, then this is real. But it can’t be. The wires. The chains. The hitting. This doesn’t happen to her. It’s another girl. A dirty girl. A stupid girl! She deserves it!”

“I only see you, Talitha. That girl is you and she is not stupid or dirty or bad.

Talitha once again puts her gun down. “It--it happens to her. Doesn’t it? They see her, so it’s real. She doesn't want it to be real.”

“I’m so sorry, Talitha. I know you don’t want it to be real, but it was. You will not be able to deal with this unless you look at it.” He moves a little closer.

“Sh-she doesn’t want to see that! Don’t make her look. Don’t look. Stupid, stupid! Stop! Don’t touch her!”

Shepard stops as soon as she says to. “Talitha, do you remember anyone else on Mindior? You parents? Your friends?”

Talitha once again hits her head. “When she thinks, water comes out of her eyes. The masters beat her when she wastes water. So she doesn’t think anymore. Sh-she seems them. She sees them all.”

“You had an older brother, right? Gregario?”

Talitha stops and looks at Shepard, eyes widened. “Y-yes. He yells. Run. Hide. He-he’s melting. How? How?” “I was there, Talitha. On Mindior. My mother was the teacher at the school you most likely went to.”

Talitha raises her gun at Shepard, point blank in his face. Tali moves to go forward but Liara stops her. “What are you-”

“We have to trust him,” is all Liara says as she squeezes Tali’s arm, scared as well. Tali stops when she sees how scared Liara is as well.

“Liar!” Talitha screams “You get hit for lying. Get the buzz or the burning. Can’t have been there! Why are you alive? Why aren’t you like them? Why aren’t you like her? Broken. Only fit to dig and carry.”

Shepard takes a moment and says nothing. Then he answers. “There was a time when I was broken, Talitha. When I asked the same questions you did. For the longest time, I was only rage and fear and paranoia. I was so angry at everyone. But mostly, I was angry at myself for living. Someone saw what was happening and reached out to me. They reminded me that I was alive and here. And I promised to stay that way, if only because I had to be. Because if I don’t stay alive, then someone else will break like I did. Talitha, you are here. You are alive. Let me help you. Let me reach out to you.” Shepard slowly reaches out his open hand towards Talitha.

Talitha pauses and lowers the gun again. “You don’t dig. You don’t carry. You stand up. She wishes she could stand up.”

“Only because someone offered me a hand up. Being broken means you can be fixed, Talitha. I’m going to reach for something, ok?” he asks Talitha nods. Shepard reaches into his storage on his belt and pulls out the sedative. “This will make you sleep and when you do, you will be taken to a place where others can help you. Will you take it?”

Talitha looks at the sedative. She then drops her gun and takes it with no hesitation. “Will she--will I dream?” she asks as the sedative quickly acts.

“No dreams, Talitha. None whatsoever. And when you wake up, you’ll get to start learning how to stand again.”

Talitha smiles sweetly as she passes out. Shepard catches her before she hits the ground.

Liara finds her breath coming back to her. “Keelah,” is all Tali says and Liara can’t help but agree with her. She knew the commander as a leader. As a warrior. As someone who can hack a terminal after convincing the guards to look away. But this was a side she had yet seen. And it took her breath away.

After the grounding of the Normandy

The sound of the slamming of the locker jarred Kaiden a bit. This whole situation has been jarring. From the Council's refusal to help to Udine grounding the Normandy. It was actually the first time he had ever seen the Commander---ever seen Shepard lose his cool in public.

“You son of a bitch!” Shepard yells in mighty anger. “You double crossed me!” Udine looks unimpressed. “I think you should return to your ship, Commander.” Shepard clutches his fists and nearly steps towards Udine but Admiral Anderson takes a step between them. This stops Shepard in his tracks. “If you think you can fucking get away with this, Ambassador, you’ve got another thing coming.” is all the commander says as he turns to leave, Kaiden on his heels as he does.

Kaiden finds Shepard in front of the supply lockers, back to the now all closed lockers. The Commander’s face is burning with anger. Kaiden hesitates for a moment but decides to approach him. After all, they have been growing friendly during this mission. The Commander was always asking his opinion about things and was always willing to listen. Kaiden had seen how hard he worked, how much he fought for this mission. How hard the calls he had to make where. He had every right to be angry.

“Commander?” Kaiden finally asked. “What is it, Alenko?” Shepard said snappily before quickly saying “Wait, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t take this out on you.” “I can understand being frustrated.”

Shepard gives a humorless laugh. “Frustrated is the smallest word for it.” Shepard sighs. “...everyone has worked so hard. Sacrificed so much. Being stuck here...it feels like it was for nothing….it can’t be for nothing. Saren can’t win. It can’t be over.”

Kaiden finds himself against the lockers as well, listening to someone who is normally so reserved in his feelings open up to him. He couldn’t help it. He saw how hard Shepard had worked.

“Sir, everyone knows this is not your fault. You have done everything you could.’’ A silence beats on for a moment. “On Feros, I saw you do whatever you could to help the colonists there. We had a mission we had to complete but you took the time to help them. And when it came time to get to the Thoryn, you did whatever you could to keep its victims alive. Everywhere our mission took us you did what you could to help those around you. Even when it was hard and any other commander would have lost patience. We-I know how hard you have worked. No one else could have done as much as you have. And I know it’s not over until you say it is.”

The look Shepard gives him is enough that Kaiden suddenly feels very embarrassed. Maybe he was out of line. But then the smallest of smiles appeared on the commanders face and it was all worth it.

“Alenko, I-” a buzz came from the comm. “Commander, you have a message from Admiral Anderson,” Joker announces over the comms. “What is it, Joker?” asks Shepard, back in professional mode. “He says to meet him at the nightclub Flux.” “Alright. Thank you, Joker.”

Shepard opens the locker behind him and slips his pistol on. “Would you like some back up, Commander?” Kaiden asks, standing at the ready. “No need. Wrex and Tali went ashore earlier. I’ll meet them at the elevator.”

As Shepard turns to leave, he stops. “Thank you, Kaiden. I mean it.”

“Anytime, Commander.”

“...you know, you can call me by my name if you want to. You won't get in trouble,” Shepard says with a hint of a playful tone.

“If you say so, Com-Shepard” Kaiden corrects himself, which earns him another hint of a smile. As the commander heads to the airlock, Kaiden wonders if the feeling in his chest that appeared when Shepard said his name will let up.

Falling Away With You Ch.3

Alright here is chapter 3. I have been working on the ending to this for legit months and rushed it today because the 6th graders I'm subbing for are off the wall.

Warnings: Just the usual swearing.

************************

Chapter Three- My Favorite Swede

From the day I met David we had this incredible connection, an undeniable chemistry. I fell hard and fast for him and it terrified me. David lived in a completely different world than me but most of the time that didn’t matter. When we met I was your average 26-year-old trying to figure out my place in the world. I was finishing up grad school and working towards landing a job teaching history. Where David’s life was exciting and flashy mine was normal and boring. At only 20-years old he was a rising NHL star living in an exciting city like Boston where he was able to capitalize on all the benefits that came with being a professional athlete.

We met in November of 2016 putting him at the start of his season while I was venturing into my last year of grad school and despite our hectic schedules we became pretty inseparable. From the first time we went out I knew I was a goner. He won me over instantly. Im pretty sure I would have said yes to a marriage proposal the first time I laid eyes on him, but that’s neither here nor there. David’s the type of person that consumes you. He draws you in, making you crave more while never getting enough. He had this way about him, a swagger if you will, but not in an arrogant way. His swagger was this happy carefree confidence that hooked me from the moment I talked to him. He was my beautiful Czech storm that took me by surprise and changed my life forever.

Unfortunately for me we did differ on one big thing, relationships. From the very beginning we both knew we had something special, but David was 20 and what 20-year-old hot shot NHL player wants to be tied down to one girl? Not too many. Despite our obvious connection he wasn’t really in the market for a serious relationship, while I on the other hand had always been the relationship type. I was a one guy type of girl, but when it came to David he could usually get me to agree to almost any scenario. Fast-forward a year later and here we are, glorified friends with benefits.

David had always been clear about what he wanted, there was never a time when he led me to believe we were more. He knew he had the freedom to do what he wanted with whomever he wanted, but he knew once he really started to stray our benefits would end. I had too much respect for myself to become one of many girls he was sleeping with and he knew that. To some our arrangement might sound ridiculous, but we had a connection that neither of us were willing to give up so we made a compromise. It wasn’t the most ideal situation but I had fallen too hard for the sweet Czech boy with an accent that warmed my heart to care about any future repercussions. Looking back, I know this was a recipe for disaster, and by disaster I mean total and utter heartbreak. Deep down I knew it would come to a head, but I had been holding out hope that things would change and David would want to commit.

****

Today was the day. Game one of two home games being played against Toronto that I circled on the calendar since before the season started. Playing Toronto meant one very exciting thing, William Nylander would be in the building playing opposite David and I couldn’t fucking wait. Willy and David met years ago when David moved to Sweden to play in the SHL and they had been close ever since. Unfortunately, we weren’t meeting up with Willy before the game due to David’s superstition stemming from last season’s game. We had gone to dinner with him the night before the game so I could meet him and the next day the Leafs kicked our ass and Willy scored a hat trick, so this time I have to settle with a five-minute chat after the game.

“You are entirely too hype for this game” My younger sister Addie said looking up from her studying as I skipped into my living room.

“Well I’ve been looking forward to this game all season” I rolled my eyes at her plopping down on the couch across from her.

“All season? It’s barely a month in...” she said sarcastically.

“Fine, I’ve been looking forward to it since they released the schedule months ago.” I said mocking her tone. She just shook her head and went back to whatever homework she was doing.

Addison was the youngest of us as she turned 22 in August and was in her last year of undergrad at Boston University. She had a place in Boston but could usually be found at Matt and I’s place at least once a week and tonight she would be my plus one at the game since Sam, Matts fiancé, had to work.

“Are you almost done? I’m starving and we have to leave early enough so I can see warm-ups” I whined watching her make the millionth note card of the night. She sighed, put her pencil down and shot me a look.

“You’re fucking ridiculous, but yes, that was my last one. Just give me like 15 minutes to get ready” she said putting her stuff in her bag. I smiled and hopped up from my spot taking the stairs two at a time as I went to get ready.

“Ad is my outfit acceptable for you?” I called out into the hallway.

“Yes. Basically anything is acceptable that you wouldn’t wear to work” she remarked not looking at the outfit I had laying on my bed. I was tempted to tell her about the work outfit David liked, but figured I would spare her the details.

“Good, the bodysuit is new, I waited to wear it tonight” I smiled over at her and her eyes grew wide when she finally looked at the outfit.

“Wait that’s a bodysuit!? Oh my god. I’m so proud of you Ash!” She patronized patting my shoulder.

“You are a bitch. Figured I would try something new” I said referencing the long sleeve black bodysuit with a low strappy V-neck that I paired with my favorite black skinny jeans and black booties. I went into my closet and grabbed my long tan cardigan outfit to break up all the black.

*********

"Which one is Willy?" Addie asked as the Leaf players filtered onto the ice.

"The incredibly gorgeous Swede" I said matter of factly.

"Sooo that would be number…?" She asked eyeing me. I released a short laugh before answering her.

“29, right there" I smiled pointing to Willy as he skated past us after sending a shot on net.

"Mmm he is beautiful" Addie mused following his movements along the ice.

"Damn Swedes, they're all beautiful. It's honestly not fair that an entire country can produce such gorgeous human beings"

Addie quirked an eyebrow shooting me a you’re-fucking-weird look, one I was very familiar with and I just laughed. We watched the Leafs for few minutes before switching sides so I could watch David for a minute before warm-ups ended.

"Ki you're here!" Addie squealed as we walked into our section. I laughed watching her race over to Charlie McAvoy's girlfriend engulfing her in a hug like they hadn't seen each other in years. Yet I'm sure it had only been days as they both went to BU.

"There you two are, I was wondering where you disappeared too." Kiley said making her way over to me and pulling me into a quick embrace.

"This one had to go down and watch warm-ups."

Addie shot an eye roll in my direction as we settled into our seats. We chatted with Kiley for a bit until Peyton, Ryan Spooner’s girlfriend got there. Peyton was from Ryan’s hometown in Ottawa so she was only in town some weekends, this being one of them.

"So anything new with you and Pasta?" Peyton preyed dropping into the seat next to me as she sipped her wine.

"Nope, same shit different day"

“Well hang in there, girl. I know he cares for you and I really believe he will come to realize that he can’t be without you.” She placed her hand on my shoulder giving it a small squeeze to go along with her warm smile.

“Thanks Peyt, I appreciate that”

“And if he doesn’t I will give him a world of shit and make his life hell” She flashed a devious smile as I laughed. If there was one thing I loved most about Peyton it was her feistiness.

“That is something he definitely doesn’t want to deal with”

When the game started our group settled into a silence as we took in the game our only comments being directed at what was happening on the ice.

Unfortunately, the outcome wasn’t what we were hoping as the boys lost 4-1. David played pretty well but couldn't cash in on any goals, same went for Willy and considering his luck last season it seemed that David’s decision to not meet up sort of helped, as Willy didn't score.

Once the game ended I hightailed it to where I would meet the guys even though it would be awhile before they came out. I had enough to keep me busy with a few weeks before my last grad paper was due. Addie left after the game to head back to her dorm leaving me and the other girls. I took my MacBook from my bag, plugged in my headphones, started playing some Florence + The Machine and pulled up my paper and went to work.

I was pulled from my trance when someone grabbed my shoulder causing me to jump a foot off the chair where I was sitting. I looked up and saw David in front of me laughing his ass off. I shook my head placing my hand over my heart and paused my music, before closing the laptop and dropping it back into my bag.

“You are such a jerk, you scared the shit out of me.” I scoffed feeling my racing heart in my chest. He had his hands on his knees as he continued to laugh at my expense.

“Im sorry, you didn’t see me I had no choice”

He shrugged his shoulders trying to stifle a laugh. I looked around room taking notice that it was nearly full as the majority of the players had exited the locker room. It was surprising that I didn’t notice him, but not unlike me.

“Oh of course.” I said rolling my eyes. “sorry about the loss, now where is my favorite Swede?” I said excitedly looking out into the hallway.

“Thanks, said he would be out in a minute” David answered looking down at his phone. “We can head out in the hall to meet him.”

He placed a hand on my lower back guiding me out of the room and out into the hallway. He dropped his bag on the floor then pulled out his phone to send off a message.

“Hey, don’t I get a proper hello?” I asked stepping up to him placing my hands on his chest.

“Of course you do” He smiled down at me sliding his phone into his back pocket before placing both hands on my hips to pull me close. I raised myself up on my toes and wrapped my arms around his neck as his lips met mine and I melted into him. When we pulled away I had to lay my head on his chest to gather myself.

“I missed you today”

His voice tickled my ear sending chills down my body. I lifted my head from his chest and looked up to find that goofy smile plastered on his face. That smile made my heart skip a beat every time. It was those two chipped teeth of his that made his goofy smile even better.

“Well aren’t you two just adorable”

I poked my head around David’s body to find Willy standing a few feet behind us looking like a snack with a bright smile on his face as he watched us. I let out a small squeal as I all but pushed past David making my way towards Willy who had his arms open ready for my hug.

“It’s so good to see you Will” I spoke pulling out of our embrace.

“You two Ash, you look lovely tonight”

I blushed at his compliment as I stepped back to admire him in the perfectly tailored grey suit he was wearing.

“Right back at ya” I said with a wink as David finally joined us.

“Alright you two, calm down” He rolled his eyes and the two guys had a quick embrace and exchanged greetings.

“Baby face Nylander, I can’t get over the clean shave” I teased reaching out to pinch one of his cheeks causing him to blush.

“Aww yeah, Babs likes us clean cut and clean shaved” Willy shrugged.

“Thank god Cassidy doesn’t have that rule.”

“Why?” David questioned from beside me.

“There’s no way I could sleep with you clean shaven. I would be too afraid I would get hauled off to jail because you look like a child.”

Willy broke out into his signature laugh and it was probably one of the greatest sounds I have ever heard and very contagious as I joined him. While David scowled from beside me.

“I don’t look thatyoung” He attempted to defend himself but Will stepped in.

“Dude you do. If you shave and cut your hair short you absolutely look younger than Alex”

Will and I laughed as he huffed and gave up.

“On another note you both played well! I especially liked when you took each other out” I noted referring to a puck battle where both guys ended up strewn across the ice.

“Well someone took me out first, so I just returned the favor.” Will eyed David who chuckled lightly.

“Yeah my bad.”

“Hey pasta come here a minute” David and I turned around to where a teammate was beckoning him.

“Be right back”

“So how are things between you two?” Willy asked once David was out of ear shot. I let out a sigh as he watched me intently waiting for my answer.

“Were good, in the same place we were when I saw you this summer” I shrugged and looked over my shoulder to make sure David was still occupied.

“Hey, stick with him, yeah?” He placed a hand on my shoulder and I looked up at him.

“I’ve known him awhile Ash, he likes you, a lot. I know it’s hard, but you just have to be patient with him. He’s young and still needs to figure out what he wants.”

“Will, you’re literally 24 days older than him” He laughed again and nodded. “but thank you, that means a lot coming from you”

“Trust me, if he screws this up with you ill fight him on the ice, now come here”

He reached out and took my arm to pull me into a tight embrace.

“Fuck Willy I walk away for five minutes and you’re stealing my girl?”

“Sorry Pasta, she needs an older man”

I let out a loud laugh as the two bantered back and forth for a few more minutes while I stood back watching them interact. It was a shame they didn’t see each other very much during the season as they were always entertaining to be around.
