" get down! "

They were supposed to be infiltrating a party, of all things; those were the last two words that Alisa wanted to hear. The next thing she knew, she was pinned against the wall in a dark corner, mind racing a mile a minute. Crap… had someone figured out that they weren’t exactly who they said they were? Was that why he was hissing at her to duck down, out of sight?

God, why had she even agreed to this? She should have questioned the plan and she damn well knew it. An arms dealer like this, opening his home to guests like this? Well, granted, they were tracking his drug shipments more than anything, and Alisa had managed to pass very easily as someone looking for biotic-enhancing drugs, but… She’d never expected this to be as convoluted as it was.

She could hear footsteps coming their direction, and they definitely weren’t where they ought to be. They had to think fast, and that meant coming up with some kind of cover story. Alisa knew what was easy, but whether he’d play along or not… Now that was the difficult part.

“Okay, okay. Quick thinking. We—snuck up here for some privacy, and if we get caught, that’s that. Just—I don’t know, push me against the wall and kiss me, or—something.” That made sense, right? And if they kept it convincing enough, they’d be able to play it off. “And make it convincing,” she opted to add.

@waywardfeathered asked:

“people think i’m weird.”

Alisa had done as much as she could to ensure her new crew member felt like he was welcome, but it was... a difficult situation. It wasn't that her crew was unwelcoming; it was that adding a new person meant understanding the reality of someone they'd lost in the process. Their last... operation hadn't gone very well, and they'd lost all but their captain in the ground team. Alisa was the only one who walked out alive; she was the only reason the mission succeeded.

"Ah, yeah, that's... not quite what they mean." She could see some of the looks that her crew had been giving him, and weird... wasn't exactly what the issue was. Not exactly, anyway. "It's not that they think you're weird, I mean. They're--used to weird. They're used to their Captain juggling spoons in the mess with her biotics because she's bored." Alisa had a few very clear rules on her ship: biotics were respected, no question. If you couldn't respect biotic talent--human or otherwise--then you were not welcome, and she would see to it that they were redeployed.

A zero-tolerance policy for hate, that was for sure.

Helping herself to a cup of coffee, she poured a second one out for Cas, setting it in front of the cream and sugar for him to make as he pleased. She, of course, added more cream and sugar that many might consider it "You're the new guy to them, that's what it is. It's been... a while since we had anybody rotated or added to the crew. They don't mean any harm by it. We're just--kind of a tight-knit group. Between flying in the first wave at the Battle of the Citadel, being part of the Skyllian Blitz, a lot of us have been through a lot of our careers together." She knew her crew meant no harm by it; they just weren't used to having someone new around.

"Give it time. They'll get used to having you around."

“ i’ve already dealt with the situation.”

She was doing her damndest to, at the very least, talk to him. Talk. That was all she wanted; to talk. As much as he seemed to claim he’d dealt with the situation, Alisa wasn’t sure that really was the case; even since joining the crew she had now, working under Cerberus, he seemed to be avoiding her. Whether that was because she’d chosen to work with Cerberus, or after what had happened surrounding her death… she wasn’t sure.

What she did know was that it hurt. And that any time she seemed to try to talk about the situation, to try and smooth things over with him, he shut her down with that. Maybe it was her that hadn’t dealt with the situation; maybe it was her that was still dealing with the situation. Wrapping her head around her childhood had been one thing, but this? It was a lot to take in.

“You had two years to deal with it. A little more than that, if we want to be more specific. Two years that I didn’t get. Two years that just—don’t exist for me. So while you may have dealt with it, I haven’t, and acting like this whole situation has no effect on me isn’t fair.” She wasn’t about to stand here and let anyone, let alone him, act like everything was okay. Because while it might have been for him, it certainly wasn’t for her; she had feelings on the situation too.

@hopegained asked:

" i'm in. "

Liss knew that it was a lot to take in. Human colonies being kidnapped, the Collectors—enigmatic as they were—being responsible for what was happening, not to mention the fact that she, somehow, had been brought back to life. She noticed that her… reincarnation had come with a number of upgrades; while she’d been using a retrofitted L3 implant previously, they’d given her something new, something that was… stronger, in a sense. She’d yet to really put it to the test.

But much to her surprise, her old friend agreed. She wasn’t sure anyone else would be so amicable; even Garrus had raised his concerns, and she’d done her best to put those to rest. And Kaidan… well, she’d yet to reach out to him thus far. She wasn’t sure he’d want to talk to her; after all, their shared history, their friendship, and knowing how he was… She had a feeling he was going to have a much more difficult time with the news, especially after what happened on Virmire.

It was a relief to hear those words from Eron. Even though she was sure Cerberus had the right goals in mind, she couldn’t be too careful. She needed people that she could trust around, people that could at least verify that she was doing the right thing. The Alliance had been everything to her; she didn’t want them to think that her choice to work with Cerberus meant that she was turning her back on their values.

No, that was certainly the last thing she wanted.

“As long as it won’t interfere with your career with the Alliance,” she cautioned, making sure that part was at least clear. “I’ve talked to Hackett, and I know he supports whatever I’m doing, as does Anderson. The Council reinstated me, too–but I’m not Alliance any more. Not now, at least.” She wasn’t sure that Eron sacrificing his career would be the smartest idea, especially with what they were liable to be facing.

@hopegained asked:

“ we’ve been played. “

Alarms blaring was more than enough to tell her just how screwed they were. Whoever had set off an alarm, Alisa had no idea; she hadn’t set any off crawling through the stupid ventilation shafts, and nothing had been set off from here. There had to be some kind of inside source, someone who had tipped the rest of the facility off to their arrival. It was the only answer that she could think of… and it seemed the rest of her team shared that sentiment.

“Jee, couldn’t tell,” Liss replied sarcastically over the comms, cursing under her breath. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go. Here she was, deep in the facility, unarmed, after crawling through the stupid vents, and somehow someone had screwed them over. It couldn’t be one of the scientists; most of them were either dead, or they were cowering in the corner while she did her damnedest to figure out a way for them to get out of there.

Checking the security feeds that she could see, Liss brought up the schematics, checking where the alarms were. Not anywhere near their position, yet there were guards moving in on them. She could see another alarm, near the entrance she’d opened for the rest of their team—led by Eron, no less—to get into the facility for assistance, but right now she felt like she was a sitting duck.

“I hope you’re moving a lot faster than these damn guards are, because if you’re not, I’m about to be up shit creek without a paddle if you’re not!” Not that she couldn’t do anything unarmed—she was a talented biotic, after all—but damn it if she didn’t feel like things were going to be very difficult if she didn’t at least have a gun for the moment she was going to need it.

At least she wouldn’t be difficult to find: the sound of explosions—and not the fiery kind, but the sound of volatile biotic chain-reactions—would be enough of a signal.

@smokedanced asked:

“That was good of you.” / from garrus

She knew Garrus was upset with her. The whole time with Sidonis, she'd been at war with herself, wanting to move out of the way, fighting to block the shot; she'd even reached forward, physically stopping Sidonis despite her own reticence to so much as get near him. It'd been an involuntary movement, even though her gut had been churning the whole time. Really, she expected Garrus to be angrier with her.

That, alone, made his response surprising to her. "Was it?" She hadn't really thought much about it. Of course, Garrus knew of her... reticence when it came to turians. He'd experienced it; he'd seen the way she backed off when he got too close, the way she wouldn't even let a friendly touch slide. She didn't hate them; it was an involuntary response, one she couldn't control. She did her damnedest to be nice, but sometimes giving them a wide berth was the best she could do.

All she could offer was a shrug. "He was already torturing himself, Garrus... you know that. And--" she shifted on the spot, a little uncomfortable... and perhaps a little indignant. "It was the right thing to do. Just because he's--a turian, and because he was making me uncomfortable was no reason for me to let you shoot him. He's still a person, you know? And--I'm not... prejudiced, just--uncomfortable." She knew she didn't have to explain herself to him, but that didn't stop her from becoming defensive. A knee-jerk reflect to her discomfort, no doubt.
