Chapter 1: A period of relax
She needed a lot of time to understand her life in the space was over and that the war finished. Madelaine finally married Kaidan, the love of her life, the man who brought the best part of her after a lot of bad choices that were almost killing her because of the insufficiency of war assets. Kaidan saved her searching everywhere, he believed from the beginning she was stilla live. After the marriage they had no time to stay together because Hackett always gave her assignments even after she left the galaxy forever.
“Hackett, please, what do you want now?” Madelaine was in the kitchen with the phone in her ear
“There’re journalists in all London who want to know how you survived to the reapers’ attack”
“You know I don’t get along with the journalists”
“Shepard, please, you can’t punch another journalist after all the three scandals with Khalisah Al-jilani. She isn’t the journalist who will interview you but you can’t deny to this people the chance to know the truth. You’re the heroine Shepard, you can’t disappoint me”
“Maybe you don’t understand Hackett, I don’t work for you anymore. I have another life, I have an husband who loves me, another future which is waiting for me”
“Maybe that’s the problem”
“What?”
“Maybe you’re too obsessed with Major Alenko’s beauty to know what’s really important”
Hackett closed the phone letting Madelaine shocked for his last affirmation. She loved Kaidan and she was sexually attracted to him but she didn’t marry him for his beauty but for his value, because she really enjoyed his company. Madelaine is now knowing the real Hackett’s face, the face of a stupid man who only wants to ruin people’s life with his predictions. She took all the technological tools from the galaxy, she knew they could be useful for her future job. Madelaine turned on the computer and started to delete all the emails of the people who needed her. Someone opened the door. Madelaine turned and Kaidan was in front of her smiling. She smiled too because she really wanted to see him. She run and hugged him.
“Hey, hey, what’s happened?”
Madelaine untied herself from the hug. “I couldn’t wait to see you”
“I know you love, you’re sad for something, tell me”
She decided to talk. “Hackett wants I make an interview so all the world would know how I survived”
“And did you say no?”
“Yes, but…”
“But nothing. That life is over. You live on earth now… with me. You worked too much and he really pretends you continue to torture yourself with all this? No, you need to relax”
Kaidan touched Madelaine’s neck and she felt relaxed.
“Tell me you don’t want me, tell me you don’t feel the desire to have sex with me in this moment”
“I want you Kaidan, I can’t resist you, you’re too handsome”
Kaidan smiled. “Say it again, the last part”
“You’re too…”.
Madelaine didn’t finish the sentence because Kaidan kissed her and she held him tight. They took off their clothes in the kitchen while they were going to the bedroom. Madelaine lowered herself to kiss Kaidan’s calf, he smiled and strongly lifted her off the ground to push her on the bed. He divored her of kisses and she was excited. She wanted to stay dawn and enjoy Kaidan’s body up to her. Maybe Hackett was right, maybe she was too obsessed with his beauty.
…
Madelaine was on her stomach while Kaidan was massaging her.
“Are you enjoying this?” asked Kaidan
“…Yes” answered Madelaine with a relaxing tone
“See, it isn’t difficult. You just needed to have a moment all for you” Kaidan massaged her shoulders passing on her back “And who better than me can give you such a pleasure?” his feet touched hers and she felt more relaxed
“No one” answered Madelaine
Kaidan whispered on her ear. “Try to not think bad things. Your life will be happy forever. No one will torture you”. He gave her a sweet kiss on her cheek making her fall asleep.
…
A voice called her in that blue smoke. She searched everywhere but no one appeared.
“Shepard, I’m coming from you. I will come to persecute you in every moment of your life. In the morning, in the afternoon and in the night… in the darkest night”
“Who are you?”
“Ahahahahahahahah, I will not tell you it until I consider it necessary”
“SHOW UP”
“Ahahahahahahahahahah”.
Madelaine woke up scared. She searched Kaidan next to her but he wasn’t there. She wore a white pajamas and went to do breakfast but when she opened the door of her room Jack appeared.
“Jack?”
“Hi Shepard, surprised to see me?”
“No but…”
“But I have a few things to say”
They went out from the room and Jack started to speak. “I know you wanted to eat your delicious cereals but I have to tell you what I’m not liking about you now”
“Surprise me”
“You’re a strong woman, at least, you was. Why letting a man seducing you like that?”
“Wait, you was…”
“No, no, no, I don’t care about your sentimental life but Kaidan was so happy he was able to dominate you all the time that he couldn’t resist to say it to all the world”
“Wait, to dominate me?”
“Yes, isn’t it true?”
“I let him staying up all the time but…”
“Why?”
“Because I enjoy more to stay down, what’s the problem?”
“The problemi s that Kaidan is full of himself in this period and you’re pleasing him”
“I don’t like the fact that he tells his sexual life to everyone”
“In fact, for this reason you have to face him and say that your sexual life is private and if he doesn’t want, you have to be concentrated on your interview”
“Wait, did Hackett send you here?”
“No, but it’s really important to close this chapter of your life. Do it for your people, your crew… yourself”.

Chapter 2: Therapy session
Madelaine was thinking about what Jack said and she couldn’t feel more humiliated. Kaidan came back at home with the food and smiled to her.
“Hey, I’m back” he tried to kiss her but she shifted “Did I do something wrong?”
“Something? You did a great mistake Kaidan Alenko”
“Which one?” Kaidan made a creepy face
“You told everyone the way we have sex. Do you think I want to talk about my private life with people?”
“What did I do? No, no, no, you’re in wrong”
“Jack came here saying you told her you were satisfied because you were on top of me”
“I never boasted with others for the way we have sex. Madelaine, this is a stupid discussion”
“Maybe you find it stupid but I find it very significant”
Madelaine was going out.
“Madelaine please” Kaidan’s voice sounded so hot in her ears, she couldn’t resist him so she folded to take off one of his shoes “Madelaine, what are you doing?”
Madelaine put his feet on her face. “Own me Kaidan”
Kaidan helped her to stand up. “Madelaine no. I don’t want to own you, I love you”
Madelaine felt embarassed. “I… I have to go” she ran out of her house feeling guilty. What was happening to her?
Madelaine arrived to the office where Hackett was making a speech
“The galaxy is a place we will never forget. We knew friends, allies, enemies and many of them are dead but many of them are even here thanks to the one and only heroine, Madelaine Shepard”
Everyone clapped their hands and then Hackett continued to speak. Meanwhile Jack arrived near Madelaine.
“Your face stinks of feet”
“Jack…”
“Come in the bathroom with me”
“Jack please this isn’t the right moment”
“Everytime is a right moment”
Jack took her hand and dragged her away. When they were near to the bathroom Madelaine freed herself from Jack’s grip.
“Can I know what do you have?” asked Madelaine
“Come in the bathroom to wash your face and I will explain you”
“My face is ok”
“If people smell you they will note there’s something wrong” Jack took her hand again and Madelaine gave in. She washed her face and then Jack started to speak.
“Stop being dominated by men” Jack went to the point
“I don’t let myself being dominated by men”
“By Kaidan”
“He’s my husband”
“I don’t judge you for that thing of the sex, but putting his feet on your face is disgusting”
“Jack…”
“What do you have Madelaine?”
“What do I have? I’m simply attracted by Kaidan”
“There’s something else”
“It happened when I was going away. He spoke and I felt something enjoyable in my ears”
“There’s something wrong. Do you suffer from illness?”
“No, but I had a dream tonight. A voice said to follow him/her. I didn’t distinguish if it was a male or female but it was evil”
“I will help you but don’t approach Kaidan”
“Ok, even if in this moment I want to have sex with him”
“Break your hormones and come with me”
Madelaine followed Jack and at a certain time she stopped herself.
“Close your eyes” ordered Jack
Madelaine obeyed. “What happened?”
“Don’t make any other question” Jack dragged Madelaine away
“You can open your eyes”
Madelaine did it. “Kaidan was there, right?”
“Yes, but now I have to take you in my house, I have an idea”
“When you have an idea I’m a little scared of what can be your plan”
“Follow me”
When they arrived at Jack’s house, Madelaine was surprised for the examination table attacked to a machine in the centre of her secret room.
“I didn’t know you was a doctor” Madelaine was surprised
“I’m not a doctor, I’m learning the essential things to enter in people’s mind”
“Do you like it?”
“Yes, I feel I can be useful to help people. Now lie dawn”
Madelaine lied dawn on the examination table and Jack attacked the machine to her.
“Do you feel agitated?” asked Jack
“And if I have something serious Jack?”
“We will face it together and I will make the possible to help you” Jack concentrated and Madelaine went into stasis. She found herself in a light blue place.
“Shepard, I’m here” Madelaine followed the voice who was calling her “I know you want me, I know you feel the passion for me. It’s the same I feel for you. There’s no need to hide it”
“Kaidan, is it you?” Madelaine saw her husband in front of her
“Come to me”
“Kaidan, I want you. Own me” Madelaine approached him
“Oh Shepard” Kaidan put his hand on Madelaine’s neck. She couldn’t breathe while Kaidan whispered in her ear “I will not only own you,… I will kill you” then he bitted her on the neck hurting her so much to make her fall dawn on his feet, then Madelaine woke up agitated.
“Hey, hey, hey, it’s all right, it’s all right” Jack hugged her
“He wanted to kill me”
“No, it wasn’t him, it was someone else who wanted to make you believe it”
“Who?” asked Madelaine after the hug finished
“I don’t know but I will do the possible to discover it”
“Jack, I appreciate your help but I don’t want to put you in danger”
“I’m not in danger, you’re in danger and if you don’t solve this situation this person will torture you in your mind and will do the possible to make Kaidan kill you”
“I… I have to go” Madelaine stood up
“Madelaine”
She didn’t listen to her and went away. She felt in a way or another she could become mad. Meanwhile a woman approached her with a microphone. It was a journalist.
“You’re Commander Shepard, Commander, can you tell all this people how you saved the Earth?”
“I’m not in the mood”
“Commander please, is it true that you was able to stop the Illusive Man before Reapers died”
“ENOUGH” Madelaine turned and punched the journalist throwing her on the ground. A tear came out of her eye
“I’m sorry, I will not bother you anymore” the journalist went away and Madelaine felt guilty
“Wait” but the journalist didn’t turn
Madelaine continued to walk on her direction. She was becoming mad.

Chapter 3: The first clues

Madelaine run like a mad in the street. Her heels creaked while she was scared of herself, of what she became. A sex maniac and a person who punches journalists without any reason. A car was investing her but it suddenly stopped and she was falling down but Kaidan took her.

"Hey Madelaine" Kaidan looked at her but she broke away from him

"Stay away" Madelaine turned his back

"But Madelaine…"

"Stay away or I will have sex with you in front of everyone on the street now"

"What?"

Madelaine continued to run. Her mind wanted her to return from Kaidan but she couldn't, she should discover who wanted to do this to her. Without realizing it, she arrived in a wood full of pink flowers. All that color wasn't a good sign. It seemed the wood she dreamt when the child was persecuting her before fighting the Reapers. If she had a gun Madelaine could defende herself from that bad sensation but she always had her biotic powers. She walked everywhere and at a certain time she heard a noise. Madelaine turned scared then she approached a tree intentioned to use her biotic powers against the subject but she fell down and watched from the ground the person who appeared from there… Aria. Madelaine stayed on the ground with a scared face while Aria looked at her shocked.

"Aria"

"Shepard? What are you doing here?"

"I was only walking until I met you"

"It isn't the first time we meet in a strange way" Madelaine stood up while Aria speaked "The most stupid way was when you woke up in the sofa near me because you were drunk in the Purgatory"

"Yes, well you have a love-hate relationship with me"

"Why did you believe someone would have hurted you? There's something wrong? Did you argue with your husband?"

"Worse,… I have… sexual maniac instincts"

Aria looked at her weirded before bursting out laughing for so long. "This is a problem? All people have sexual maniac instincts"

"But I want Kaidan to submit me while doing it"

"You feel more pleasure while he's above you"

"But there's more than it. I dreamt Kaidan who tried to kill me"

"Oh,… now the things are more serious"

"But I know it isn't him, I know he loves me but there's someone who want to make me believe it"

"Maybe you need a cup of tea, follow me"

Aria walked with her sensual step while Madelaine followed the Queen of Omega, maybe ex-Queen. She had a humble house in the woods and while they entered, Madelaine was surprised for how it was ordered. Aria prepared the tea for they two and she sitted in front of Madelaine.

"So why are you here?" asked Madelaine "I mean,… doesn't you govern Omega anymore?"

"After you helped me to take it back? I'm Omega, don't forget it, but I needed to have a break, giving all that orders to everyone, I was… tired"

"Are you sure you don't want to leave Omega forever? Who did you let governi t in your absence?"

"A good friend. But now let's talk about you. How much time do you have these dreams?"

"Two days, it was after I had sex with Kaidan"

"Normally"

"There was this voice I couldn't distinguish"

"In which sense?"

"I couln't understand if it was a male or female"

"And then in the second dream Kaidan appeared and tried to kill you"

"Yes but it wasn't him the first time, I'm sure of it"

"But if it isn't him, who is?"

"It's the question I'm trying to answer"

"And if you already answered to it and you don't want to admit it"

"What are you trying to say?"

"Shepard, maybe you and Kaidan weren't destined to stay together, maybe you aren't neither destined to stay with someone"

"No, I don't want to think this absurdity"

"But maybe you must. Shepard, you betrayed Kaidan for Thane before attacking the collectors because he didn't trust you when you was with Cerberus and then you returned with him believing you could start over but if the first time is a sign you have to liste nit. There was a kiss even with me"

"Aria that was nothing important"

"I know, I know, I don't feel anything real for you, only attraction, because we are similar, we act in the same way and it's for this reason you must overcome this difficult moment. You're a strong woman, Shepard, you demonstrated it various times"

"I don't know if I can continue being strong"

"Don't even try to joke, you defeated Reapers, the Illusive Man, you can defeat even…"

"Kaidan? No, I can't accept it" Madelaine stood up "Thanks for the tea"

"Shepard, don't be foolish"

While Madelaine was going away, an asari appeared… A justicar.

"A justicar asari? What are you doing here?" Madelaine turned on Aria and she made a perfidious smile

"Did you really believe I was your dear friend" Aria was changing shape and she turned herself into a Banshee who screamed. Madelaine turned to the other asari and she tried to kick her but she dodged and punched Madelaine on the stomach and then kicked her leg making her fal with the belly up but Madelaine tripped the justicar asari and she fell down too and then the woman used her biotic powersto make her die. Madelaine wanted to run but the banshee attacked her on her back and she couldn't get rid of her. It seemed she should die in that moment but then the banshee is killed. Madelaine turned and saw Jack.

"Come on Queen of the galaxy, we can't lose time"

Madelaine and Jack run from that wood as fast as they could and when they arrived near the end Jack turned on madelaine and slapped her.

"Why did you run in this wood alone?"

"I wanted time for myself Jack, I wanted to understand who I really am now"

"You're the same person Madelaine, I'm trying to help you but if you go away alone, I can't understand which is your problem"

"Ok, ok, I exaggerated, but…"

"You punched a journalist, they're talking about it on TV"

"Oh my God"

"Listen, I took a piece of body of the banshee and when I will analyze it, I will inform you about what it contains"

"Why do you want to analyze it?"

"Because I think the asari have something to do with your dreams"

Madelaine was shocked for Jack's suspects. "I have to go at home"

"No, you can't meet Kaidan"

"I don't want he to suffer any longer"

"But you can't give in to temptation now that we're near the truth. I will let you sleep at my home"

"Ok, but at less let me phone him"

…

When they went at Jack's home Madelaine phoned Kaidan.

VOICE MAIL

"Kaidan, it's me, Madelaine. I'm sorry for how bad I treated you today, but it's for a good cause. I'm doing various dreams and they're bad, I can't explain you more but please, wait me, our relationship can work, I know it" Madelaine closed the phone and she went to sleep.

…

"Shepard, it's me"

Madelaine continued to run in that white place. She wanted that voice to stop calling her.

"Kaidan, is it you?" she turned everywhere but no one appeared

"I'm more, I'm a prson who can taste you in a better way than him"

"What?"

Someone put the hand on her mouth.

Madelaine woke up scared and with a headache. She stood up and went to have breakfast. She found a bit of cereals on the cabinet intentioned to pour them into a mug but someone rang at the door.

"Jack" Madelaine walked towards the door "I hope you discovered something"

She opened but it wasn't Jack.

"Hi Madelaine"

She couldn't believe it. "Thane".

Chapter Text

Chapter 4: Hot moments

"It's me Siha"

"Thane, it's… it's impossible, you're dead"

"I've been alive for a while Siha, but you… you never realized that" Thane walked toward her and she tried to stay far from him

"Thane listen, I… I'm happy you're here and an advise from you would be appreciated but…"

Thane pushed Madelaine in the bed and she winced.

"I want you, I've always wanted you and I feel guilty because I never warned you that I recovered from the disease"

"It's impossible"

Thane approached Madelaine. "Miracles aren't impossible. We stayed together for a short time after the Suicide Mission but now we have the possibility to start over" he kissed her and she let the passion work.

"I want you Thane, I want to feel every part of your body on mine" she let him kissing her neck, then her chest. After he sitted on her legs and gave her pleasure, then she took one of his legs and rested her face on it. Thane stood up on the bed and Madelaine was feeling every beat of his calf while he was pressing it on her face.

…

Madelaine woke up confused. She turned and no one was at bed with her. Then she remembered everything.

"Oh my God" She had sex with him,… with THANE. She cheated on Kaidan for the second time after everything they passed. How can she be such a terrible person? She couldn't resist men, she always treated people like rags, she committed mistakes during the Reapers period and she believed having learnt everything but maybe she couldn't change. An evil person she was, an evil person she will be. Maybe she had nothing to worry about, maybe it was just a dream, or maybe Thane is still alive and that attractive assassin wanted to return with her She wore a red shirt and a black skirt with black heeled shoes. Madelaine opened the exit door but Kaidan appeared in front of her.

"Kaidan?"

"Madelaine, finally you came back" Kaidan tried to hug her but Madelaine rejected him "What's up darling?"

"Kaidan, stay away from me please" Madelaine was going away before Kaidan took her hand

"No, I can't, I want you to tell me what's happening"

"Kaidan please, I don't want to be tempted"

Kaidan looked at her strangely. "Tempted? What do you…? Oh" Kaidan laughed "Why not? I mean not now, don't worry, I have other things to do but we can talk about what did you do yesterday"

"Kaidan, this is a serious thing. I can't stop myself, I want your mouth on my chest, I want your leg on my face, I want you to dominate me because you're so handsome and your body… please let me go"

Madelaine went away while Kaidan continued to call her.

"Madelaine".

…

Madelaine knocked at Jack's door. She opened and Madelaine looked at her surprised she was still in pajamas.

"Madelaine. Oh, don't look at me in that way, come on, enter".

They went in the kitchen and Madelaine started to talk. "Jack, I had a dream" She referred everything and what caused Thane to come and have sex with him.

"Thane? He's dead, it can't be true, it was another dream" commented Jack

"I have the feeling it wasn't just a dream. Thane is still alive"

"Madelaine, it's impossible, he told everyone he was dying for this bad disease and he cried, he has always been sincere with you. He couldn't have made fun of all of us"

"I don't think so, but he said they cured him and he was an assassin before and he could be the same as he used to be once"

"In any case I discovered something"

"It can't be important anymore. Thane is making me this for jealousy"

"No, I discovered from that piece of banshee that the person who is doing this to you is a woman"

"A woman?"

"Someone who resurrected from the death, a female enemy from your past and the only one in my mind is… Morinth"

"Morinth? But I killed her in the battle to save the Earth in London"

"I think she resurrected in another form, maybe she's Thane"

"No, it was him, I'm sure"

"But she's trying to make you fall in temptation. Madelaine, you have to stop her and I will help you"

"And how do you think I should stop her if I don't know where she is?"

"Simple, invite Thane to go on the disco"

"Jack, didn't you say that I don't have to approach Kaidan or Thane?"

"Yes, send him an email"

"Oh, and… do you think it's the same?"

"Yes, yes, come on. Take control Madelaine, make him believe you want him. If he tries to seduce you, I will be there to tell you to take a drink or something else"

"What? Do you want to join the party too?"

"He will never realize that I'm there purposely" Jack winked at her

"OK"

Jack went to take her the computer. Madelaine opened it and turned it on.

"Do you want a croissant with nutella?" asked Jack

"Oh yes, it's delicious" answered Madelaine with mouth watering.

Meanwhile she opened the email page and wrote to Thane:

"Hi Thane. I thought a lot about yesterday night and I loved it. I was thinking to spend other time with you. What do you think?".

She sent the message and Thane answered soon.

"Oh, I'm so happy you enjoyed my company. I promise you this time Kaidan won't discover anything and yes I want to see you again Siha, you're the light of my eyes. We will have a lot of sex".

Jack brought Madelaine the croissant. "Thank you" she ate it

"Oh, the drell took the bait,… and what a cute way to say "I want to bang you"" joked Jack

"I wasn't thinking to invite you at home but to go out… at the disco" wrote Madelaine

"I don't dance too much but we can make an exception in this case. I missed you Siha and whatever you want to do, I will do too" wrote Thane

"Perfect. I will take an excuse with Kaidan and then we can spent a lot of time together" wrote Madelaine

"I can't wait for it to happen" wrote Thane

"Well, the plan starts tonight" said Jack "Now it's the time to choose a dress"

"I have a lot of dresses at home"

"You can't come back at home, you know, but I know what you need"

…

They went in Jack's bedroom and Jack looked in her wardrobe.

"Mmm, orange, with yellow shades" she threw the dress on the bed "Prove it. I will take the blue" Jack's dress was without sleeves

Madelaine undressed and put on the dress.

"Wow, you're a bomb. Let me put you some make up. You came here without it" Jack used it on madelaine who looked hera t the mirror "Look at you. You're gorgeous and you deserve to be loved, but love is consuming you because of a dead asari"

"We don't know if Morinth is doing this"

"But it's surely someone from your past"

"I hated more my female enemies from my past than males. Maybe it's for this reason that one of them woke up to make me pay"

"We will discover it tonight"

…

The disco was full of people and when Madelaine and Jack entered, almost every man looked at them fascinated.

"That men have the drool down from the mouth" said Jack

"Where's Thane?"

"He will arrive" Jack looked at Madelaine who was agitated "Hey Madelaine, look at me. Don't fall in temptation. I will be here soon. I only have to understand who between all this people will spy you and Thane"

"Ok"

"I go far from you before Thane and his partner in crime discover me"

Madelaine was alone from this moment, then Thane arrived with an elegant red suit decorated with gold edges. Now she had the drool down from the mouth.

"Siha. I'm so happy to see you again" said Thane

"Yes, me too. You're so…"

"Elegant? There's a really good seamstress in London near the house I bought"

"Ah wait,… did you buy a house here?"

"Oh yes, I like to stay here. No people find strange a drell or any other alien lives here after what you did to save everybody. You're a legend Shepard and I want to dance with this legend"

"Please call me Madelaine… or Siha like you always do"

Thane touched her shoulder and Madelaine felt the passion was coming out, but she couldn't, she… "Let's dance" Thane dragged Madelaine to the dance floor and they danced, danced that disco's songs all the night.

"I want you tonight" whispered Thane in Madelaine's ear behind her "Like that night. Do you remember that night Siha? "Be alive with me tonight" you said, I'm asking you the same thing now"

Madelaine turned and kissed him and when she was ready to go down to feel his calf on her face, Thane stopped her.

"No, not here" Thane brought Madelaine far from the dance floor and near a sofa. He pushed her there.

"Always so gentle" said Madelaine with a passional voice

"You know I've always been a bad boy" Thane approached her and kissed her and Madelaine enjoyed that moment.

Chapter Text

Chapter 5: Deal with the devil

Thane went deeper and deeper so that Madelaine could be more excited. His lips pressed on hers in a strong way on the sofa.

"Are you enjoying this?" asked Thane and then kissed her again before she could answer

"Yes" answered Madelaine after a long time

Another kiss.

Anything had sense in that moment, only Thane. He rubbed his calf on her leg so that she could moan.

"Exciting, right?" said Thane smiling until someone hit something on his head… Jack

"Thane's show is over" stated Jack "And you're more stupid than ever falling on this traps. Come on, I found something"

Madelaine stood up slowly still shaken by the way Jack interrupted that moment. Jack took her from the arm helping her. "Follow me".

They went in a long corridor and at a certain moment Jack stopped to show her a yellow liquid.

"What is that?" Madelaine wasn't understanding

"That's not normal Madelaine, this isn't a normal liquid, this isn't something to drink, is… plastic, something like that"

"I can't follow you"

"Someone is doing experiments in the disco, I don't know what exactly but… we must go out of here NOW"

Madelaine turned. "Oh my God".

Yellow gas was filling the whole disco and people started to scream.

Madelaine took the gun from her dress. "I can't let whoever is doing this live again"

Madelaine was going but Jack stopped her. "Madelaine, no, it's not the moment, we could die like all of them" people fell down after breathing the gas "I saw a secret passage there, we must go there"

"Damn it!" Madelaine run behind Jack while the gas was entering in the corridor. They found a conduit and entered there. They clawled inside for a long time.

"I can't breath" said Madelaine

"Madelaine, you can resist. I know it's difficult to stay here, but we can't surrender"

"I surely won't".

The corridor was long and Madelaine couldn't imagine who would be able to do something like that. That was connected with Thane there? Could he be able to put the gas and make all that people die? The man she loved and cried for? He has been a better person than her in the past and prayed for himself and her, always if he still was in love with her. The conduit ended and Jack opened the conduit's exit but at a certain time she blocked herself.

"Oh my God"

"Jack, what are you seeing?"

"Thane is talking with a hooded figure" Jack took the phone to make a photo "They're going out, come on, there's no trace of gas here" Jack went out from there and when she was falling down, she used biotic powers to stop the fall and land on her feet. Madelaine made the same thing and they both run to go out from that disco.

…

In the morning, Madelaine was walking from a side to another agitated. "We have to analize everything we have. I can't make it go smoothly"

Jack was using the computer. "You must stay calm, she can't be so far to be discovered"

"I'm thinking about Kaidan. I went out of our house and he doesn't even know I'm here. He doesn't deserve it"

"He doesn't know that is you do sex with him he will kill you, but you're right, you should return at your home"

"What? Really?"

"For a while, then go away, let him know you love him and you're doing this for your future"

"Maybe he can help far from us"

"No, he has to stay out from this story"

"I feel guilty"

"Madelaine, come here"

Madelaine approached Jack to look at the computer.

"I'm approaching at the photo, the hooded figure precisely" said Jack showing her "Her features are human Madelaine, I was wrong, it isn't an asari, it isn't Morinth"

"And so who the hell is her?"

"I have to do an in-depth analysis. In the meanwhile you can go from Kaidan to greet him for a while"

"I want to be present when you make the analysis Jack, I don't want to be discarded away"

"There's nothing you can do"

"Jack, you're treating me like a weak person but I'm not"

"I know, but I'm trying to help"

"You're not helping me in this way, I need to be active, this person want to kill me, not you and you believe to take the control of the situation saying that I'm stupid for falling in temptation and doing experiments I don't know about"

"I KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT STUPID" Jack jumped up "I don't want to submit you in strength, I want to be your friend, I'm trying to be helpful but you're not appreciating it"

"OF COURSE I APPRECIATE IT, but I'm only warning you to not exclude me at all. I know this experiment can only be done by one person but please, remember that I'm the same Madelaine Shepard and that I'm strong like all the times enemies tried to kill me and I kicked their asses"

"I forgive you, but… I feel not all the enemies where a joke. There's a particular one, a female who traumatized you and I will discover who"

"I can't understand who but, I'm glad for what you're doing, really, and I'm sorry for the way I reacted"

"Don't worry, but now go, I've to be concentrated"

"Ok" Madelaine went wearing something to go out finding Kaidan.

…

Madelaine walked with fear because she was afraid to fall in temptation and with sadness because she could neither touch or hug Kaidan, her husband, her love. She looked the window from outside and she saw him from behind looking at something on the living room's table. Madelaine wanted to take off his shirt but she shook her head trying to not think that. Kaidan turned and saw her smiling happy and then he approached the window.

"Madelaine"

"Kaidan…"

"I want you here with me please"

"I can't Kaidan, I… I love you"

"So why are you moving away from me?"

"It's for our safety"

"Our safety?"

"My safety precisely, I can't explain more but please, don't even doubt what I feel for you"

"If you can explain me I could help"

Madelaine cried. "I would like too,..." Madelaine glimpsed his naked body under his shirt "But it's happening"

"What?"

"I'm tempted to break the window, to feel your body on my face, I'm seeing it, my head is telling me to prostate at your feet" Madelaine slammed her fists on the window's glass "KAIDAN GO AWAY"

Kaidan run out from her view going on his bedroom,… their bedroom and Madelaine stopped to try breaking the window, but then she cried falling on the grass on her knees. She was losting him, the best person she knew in her life, she couldn't live without him and because of someone who wanted to ruin her happiness she couldn't approach the love of her life, touch him and anything else. Madelaine should return from Jack and trying to know if she discovered something.

…

It was raining and Madelaine's clothes were soaked. She cried while she was walking on the street for a very long time. She had the legs tired, but not her spirit. Madelaine looked forward to discover who is doind this to her. She was ready. She knocked at the door.

"Jack" Madelaine called her and waited for her to open the door but time passed and she didn't open. "Jack?". Nothing.

Madelaine walked away from the door to kick it after and it opened.

"Jack, are you here?" she searched in every part of the living room, then she entered in the kitchen where Jack was investigating with the computer before she went to find Kaidan in their home. Jack wasn't there but the computer was still opened. Madelaine was approaching it but someone hit something in her head and she fainted.

…

Madelaine woke up slowly on the ground with the wrists tied on the wall. Thane was standing in front of her.

"You're always more beautiful when you're confused" said Thane with an ironic tone

"Why are you doing this to me?"

"Come on Siha, I know you like when a man submit you" Thane started to approach "I remember that time before the suicide mission, you had the same face when we banged"

"Stop, stop it"

"The truth hurts, even when you left me for Kaidan and you decided he was the man you would have used as your pawn and who should bang you…"

"I love him and then you were dead…"

"Ssshhh, now I speak, now you don't have the control of your squadmates life, I control you, I'm the bad boy of the situation and you must do what I say or you will die, clear?"

"You wasn't in this way Thane, you was sweet, I was so sorry…"

Madelaine didn't finish to speak because Thane took her chin holding it tight. "You never cared about my feelings Shepard, you ignored others to make them die on the suicide mission. And if I wanted to die at Garrus' place for example? Or Mordin? No, because I should be your puppet before returning with Kaidan, but I'm not your puppet anymore, now you have to adapt to my requests, TO WHAT I SAY" Thane moved Madelaine's face to the side with force, then he walked with his back turned. "Only two times, only two times having sex with you and I will kill you. Me or Kaidan, but you don't have choice,… Or Jack dies".

Chapter 6: Not alone
His calf was always more pleasant. Madelaine enjoyed rubbing her face on it, powerless. Thane had the power. He was standing satisfied to humiliate his lover while she was still tied on the ground.
“Why are you so handsome Thane?” said Madelaine while moaning “There isn’t a moment I can be without you, that’s stronger than me”
“These are the mysteries of life. Life made me handsome and I’m happy about that, I would never change it, especially if having you on bottom of me is the cost” Thane removed his leg from Madelaine while he walked turning his back.
“Please I want more” said Madelaine
Thane laughed. “I will make you suffer for a bit before feeling my skin on yours”
“No please, you’re too handsome”
Thane laughed always more while he completely turned on Madelaine. “This is sound for my ears. You praying me” Thane walked slowly through that direction. Madelaine. His prey. He put his inch on the mouth. Madelaine was excited and Thane smiled before snapping his feet on Madelaine’s face. She moaned. Thane massaged and she enjoyed the sensation.
“You want me Siha”
“Yes”
Thane smiled. That was one of the most exciting things on that wonderful moment. Whatever part of Thane was exciting. Staying at his side was the best solution. Thane knelt sitting on Madelaine and massagging his calf on her leg. She moaned and then the drell approached her almost kissing her but Thane moved away with a satisfing smile.
“Touching my lips is prohibited” Thane provoked
Madelaine moaned at that provocation.
“I will make you suffer before even brushing them”
“Slap me” proposed Madelaine
Thane smiled at the suggestion. “With very much pleasure” Thane gave her a little slap. Madelaine felt that itching relaxing
“Do you want another one?” Thane asked
“Yes”
Another slap from the other side.
“Oh yes”.
Madelaine felt the pressure of Thane’s calfs. So provocative. So charming. Thane was evil now. His only purpose was to humiliate her. Sexually and even as a person and she wanted it so badly. She wanted Thane to win. He sitted on Madelaine’s legs and in his hands appeared two sticks that he used on her thighs scratching them.
“Make me suffer Thane” the Drell smiled when Madelaine said that words “I will do whatever you want,…” she moaned “Whatever you ask”
“Whatever?” Thane asked intrigued
“Yes”
“Ok” Thane stood up “Let’s play a game”.
…
Madelaine was licking the crumbs on the floor Thane put. The game consisted to pretend Madelaine was a dog pretending to eat bran even if in reality that were cracker.
“Come from your Master little puppy” said Thane
She obeyed continuing to lick and crawl. Thane was surely enjoying that moment. Madelaine was tempted to look at his satisfied face but she stayed at her place to continue satisfing him. She licked all the route without leaving any single crumb.
“I don’t want to see a crumb on that floor or I will punish you harder than before”
Exitement passed through all the parts of her body when Thane said that. She made all the work licking the crumbs one by one… until she arrived there. At his feet. Madelaine passed her face at it feeling chills. She couldn’t resist to lick his fingers. So hot. So green. She passed her mouth up enjoying his calf, then she looked at Thane from below. His black eyes, full of cunning and darkness. They kissed passionately. Savouring his perfect lips was like a dream finally realized. Thane broke away from her and Madelaine leaned on the bed beside him.
“I want more” she said
Thane had a serious look. “Stop submitting to me everytime you have desire” he was approaching slowly “Here I command in every sense and I decide when we can have sex or not. If we have sex another time I will kill you too soon and I want to make you suffer before it happens” Thane was near. Madelaine tried to kiss him but he moved away and then he showed his biotic powers. “I have power here Madelaine. You have nothing… You’re nothing”.
Why was Madelaine so fascinated by Thane’s evil side? Was that the man she loved from many years? No, she shouldn’t even approach him,… but she couldn’t resist.
“Please, kiss me” said Madelaine
Thane smiled passing his hand through Madelaine’s stomach and she was enjoying it… until someone hit something on Thane’s head. How could she be there?
“Kasumi?... what are you doing here? Why did you hit him?” Madelaine was nervous for what she did
“And why do you let him wash your brain?” said Kasumi “In any case, I’m happy to see you. Come on”.
Madelaine stood up and wore her clothes.
“Come on, be fast” Kasumi hurried her
“Keep calm ok? Ah,… I was enjoying it”
“He’s mad, he isn’t the same Thane as it used to be”
“I know, I… I don’t even know why I was doing it”
“We will discover it”.
Madelaine followed Kasumi out of the bedroom. Madelaine looked Thane for the last time before going. They climbed up the wall going inside the duct.
“How did you find me?” asked Madelaine
“Let’s say that I come across a conversation between you and Jack about your situation”
“So you know everything?”
“I know the necessary but now the most important thing is freeing Jack from the clutches of Thane and whoever is his superior, the person who want to kill you through sex with Kaidan and Thane”
“I had sex with both one time. Now if I have it again with one of them…”
“You die, I understod the story” Kasumi looked through the duct’s bars and she saw Jack on the ground with the hands tied. Madelaine noticed it too.
“Jack”
“We can’t free her now, we would be discovered. It’s better to escape and think about a plan when we go in my house” stated Kasumi
“We can’t let her here and if they hurt her?”
“I know that it’s difficult but it’s the only way. Let’s continue to crawl in the duct”
They continue to go until they were out.
“I’m tired to go in ducts. I had enough at the ball” said Madelaine
“Did you go to a ball?” Kasumi was surprised “It doesn’t matter. Come on follow me, I have a surprise”.
They went through the corridor but they hid when they saw guards walking. Madelaine and Kasumi where in the opposite sides.
“Do you have a gun?” asked Madelaine
“I have something more silent” Kasumi lauched her a gun and used the other one to shoot the enemies behind the neck and making them fall asleep. They continued to walk and they saw other two enemies. Madelaine shot one of them behind the neck and the other turned noticing the two girls so Madelaine used her biotic powers making him fly. She looked at her hands in disbelief.
“I believed I had no power here”
“You was close to Thane. It made you weaker” explained Kasumi before continuing to walk
Weaker? Love shouldn’t make weak. Madelaine shook her head and followed Kasumi on the exit. Out of the palace, there was a green spacecraft.
“How did you have time to take it?” asked Madelaine shocked
“We have no time or Thane and his partner in crime could find us”
Madelaine followed Kasumi inside the spacecraft and the thief started to drive. They flied,… Madelaine flied again. She looked down at the palace where she was prisoned by Thane a minute ago and she hoped she’d never come back there. She only wanted Kaidan… or not? Damn, that sexual moment with Thane was awesome and hot. Did she really made the right choice during the war against Reapers in her last days as Commander of the Normandy?
…
They arrived near Kasumi’s home. The spacecraft landed and Madelaine and Kasumi got out. Kasumi took the keys while in front of the door. She turned on Madelaine.
“Prepare yourself for the surprise” the thief winked at her while opening the door. When they entered Madelaine’s mouth fell open. The house had warm colour, more focused on red but with brown horizontal lines.
“Wow, this home is… spectacular”
“Yes, wait to see the rest”.
Kasumi walked directed to her household tools. Madelaine sitted on the chair of the light green table, the only cold color there connected to the two cups Kasumi took to pour the tea
“Thank you” said Madelaine “How much time you live here?”
Kasumi walked from a side to another while drinking. “Not so much. I took the house when I discovered what you and Jack were planning” Kasumi stopped looking at Madelaine “We must took her out of there. Thane has a partner in crime very powerful. I don’t know who he or she is but…”
“It’s she” Madelaine confirmed
Kasumi was surprised. “Did you already find out?”
“Jack is studying scientific skills and she did a lot of investigation. It’s someone I know for a lot of time and hate me so much. It can even be someone who I believed dead”
“No, that’s impossible”
“I don’t know what to think. I believed I got rid of every enemy who wanted to ruin my life and hinder my goals but…”
“You did… it can’t be…”
“Morinth? No, Jack said it isn’t an asari”
“I was thinking about… Vasir. She had all the reasons to hate you. Maybe Jack is wrong, maybe she only discovered it isn’t an Ardat Yakshi”
“Vasir would come on Earth to make me suffer making me desire to be killed by the love of my life with sex? I think she’s a more rigid person”
“Anything is possible”
“The clear thing is that I won’t let anyone bend me. You heard very well Kasumi. Madelaine Shepard came back and is more Renegade than you think”.
…
A shiny black dress made Madelaine more ready to meet the boss of the “Gramaful Office”. It was a man named Porter Papipc and he was the chief of a medicines’ Company. From the investigations she and Kasumi made, the person who’s torturing her moved there. It is known only thanks to the fact that Kasumi put a bug on her pocket when the torturer was masked. Madelaine went downstairs and she looked at Kasumi while she was on the computer.
“I’m going in the Gramaful Office. Say me “Good luck””
“I say you to be careful”.
Then Madelaine went outside ready.
…
She looked at them smiling. She couldn’t believe she found Shepard and Kasumi and now she couldn’t wait to face them after a long time.
…
Madelaine arrived in the grey palace giving everyone a charming smile. They didn’t know her real nature behind that cold look. She went upstairs to face Porter Papipc. She couldn’t wait to threaten him with her better weapons, but she should pretend to be gentle at the beginning. She knocked at his door.
“Come in” he said.
Madelaine entered looking at that man sitted on the chair behing his desk. He had short light brown hair and black eyes, he was sturdy and he had a grey jacket.
“Can I do something for you ma’am?” Porter asked putting his arms on the desk
“Yes” Madelaine approached the man smiling and after she looked at him for a while, she pulled out the dag she pointed at his thin. “Let’s see if you understand very well… I make questions, you answer or I will destroy your throat with one and only cut. I don’t know if I’m clear enough”
Porter was scared. “Please, don’t hurt me”
“That’s my speciality or maybe you didn’t understand well?”
“You’re crazy”
“Everyone knew me for being Commander Madelaine Shepard, the Renegade in person and I will be recognized with this pronouns again. So tell me… Why did she came here?”
“She? She who?”
“She” Madelaine was more angry
“I don’t know what are you talking about” Porter tried to stand up but Madelaine pressed the dag on his thin making him scream a bit before falling on his chair again
“I can be more evil than that” her voice was deeper and more cruel “This person is making my life impossible and you have something to do with that. TELL ME”
“OK, OK…” Porter covered his eyes with his hands before looking at Madelaine “Commander Shepard, I’m honoured to know you in person”
Madelaine expression was still cold. “That isn’t a surprise you’re a liar. Now talk”
“She gave me some red analgesics to transfer in your mind through my computer…”
“Is your computer connected to my mind?” Madelaine was shocked “You’re insane”
“I… I didn’t want to do it, she obliged me”
Madelaine went on his side “I don’t care, let’s show me your computer”
Porter obeyed and opened one of his drawers taking the computer. He switched it on and he showed Madelaine the program where he was ordered to put analgesics on her mind.
“Where are pills?” asked Madelaine
“Wait” Porter took them “I can put the mas a disk here and then they arrive on your mind”
Madelaine looked at him and then she took him the pills and pointed the dag on his throat. “Do you have any idea how much I felt bad for this? I wanted to be killed by the loves of my life with sex and you did nothing… nothing”
“I’m sorry, please, don’t kill me, please”.
Madelaine shaked her head. “You’re painful, how could I kill you?”.
Madelaine moved away the dag and she was going away,… until she whirled around on Porter scaring him.
“If you try to use this analgesics again when she will offer you it again, I will make your life hell”.
Then she really went away.
…
Kasumi continued to search with the computer but she had no idea who had this necessity to return from the death to make Shepard’s life impossible. She continued to investigate until she heard a noise. She turned.
“Shepard, it’s you?”.
No one answered. Maybe she didn’t listen from there, so Kasumi stood up and she was going to approach the door but someone unexpected appeared. Kasumi made a step behind.
“Did you miss me Kasumi?”
Kasumi couldn’t believe she was there. “Morinth” she took her gun pointing it on the Ardat Yakshi “Don’t move”
“Oh,… How we’re prevented… You only make me laugh pointing me it in that way”
“You should be dead in London after the war against the Reapers. You transformed into a Banshee”
“I reborned, what can I say” Morinth walked overcoming Kasumi “It was only a coverage. I drinked a potion so that when I would have become a Banshee I wouldn’t have stayed dead forever” she turned on Kasumi “I’ve so much things to do here, and one of this is provoking you Kasumi”
“I’m not a easy person to provoke, I warn you”
“You always judged me for what I was, for what I am but Shepard saved me at my mother’s place for a reason: I’m special and this won’t change”
“Shepard saved you because you’re similar to her as personality but she’s not evil like you. Samara was an honorable person and you won’t never be like her”
“Let it bet” Morinth smiled “I’ve become the new Samara since she died and I want to help Shepard find out who’s torturing her. She will let me help her whatever you like or not”

Chapter Text

Chapter 7: The responsible revealed
Madelaine was returning at Kasumi’s home upset after what she discovered from Porter but now she had it. Whoever wanted to hurt her, she couldn’t anymore. Madelaine was at the entrance observing the pills she was gripping in her hand. The cause of her pain. The reason she couldn’t enjoy her sexual fantasies with Kaidan without risking her life. Now she could return from him but not without telling Kasumi everything. Madelaine put the pills on her dress’ pocket and she rang at the intercom. Kasumi opened the door. She seemed a bit serious, not the cheerful Kasumi she always knew.
“Madelaine ah,… did you have the informations we searched?”
Madelaine frowned because of Kasumi’s blocking position on the whole door. “If you let me enter I can explain you”
She didn’t seem convinced “You can tell me…”
Madelaine pushed Kasumi aside without letting her complete the sentence. “I discovered that the reason I slowly could die if I have sex with Kaidan and Thane is that…”
“Madelaine, I don’t think you should”
Madelaine and Kasumi speaked at the same time until she appeared.
Madelaine was shocked to see her.
“It has been a long time Shepard”
“Morinth what…?” she was dead “What are you doing here? You’re not supposed to be alive”
“I am and if you stay calm and come to sit with me I can expl…”
“No” Madelaine approached to her with an angry face “You can’t intrude in the houses of others and expecting to be welcomed like time didn’t pass, we’re still on the Normandy and you didn’t attack me and my team during the war against the Reapers”
“I understand you’re angry…”
“Angry? I gave you complete trust Morinth, I saw in you parts of me that day I saved you at Samara’s place, a perfect ally and then you betrayed me, a person similar to you”
“She isn’t wrong” Kasumi intruded “I sensed since you returned in the Normandy in that moment that something was wrong, that Samara wasn’t the same person, that she acted like an evil psychopact”
“As if you knew my mother since you were born” said Morinth sarcastically “Come on Kasumi, everyone in this room knows how you’re good to blend in”
“Kasumi and Kelly were the only ones to notice something about your behavior” Madelaine remembered her “I thought we were accomplices, that our strenght could make explode the world… but you caused me problems and I don’t want this to happen again, not in this terrible period I’m passing”
“I can be useful to you this time” Morinth tried to convince her
“And risking to feel betrayed again?”
“This isn’t convenient for everyone” continued Kasumi
Morinth gave her a bad eyelook before looking at Madelaine again. “Listen, I’m not the same person anymore. I cured myself from the disease I had that could destroy me forever, you can ask to my doctor about that and she’ll give you the certificate. After you killed me as a Banshee and I resurrected, I still felt the disease inside me. I felt lost in the middle of all the horror the war caused. I needed to feel myself better, to start over. All that broken rubble made me understand that life is too short and it must be lived in the better. I decided to live to change myself in better, I made this promise to myself and I won’t change idea”
“Beautiful words” said Kasumi provocative “This doesn’t change you’re a psycho murderer”
“Like if you and anyone in Shepard’s team didn’t kill anyone”
“We did it to survive, you just for your satisfaction”
“Morinth, I never asked you to change” admitted Madelaine “I’m not changed after the war, I’m still the cruel woman who just thinks to her needs. What I want is to not risk to be betrayed from you again”
“I won’t” promised Morinth “I want to discover who’s doing this to you as much as you”
“You already know?”
“Yes, I followed you secretly”
Madelaine made a serious face at this news.
“But now I just want to collaborate with you”.
They had a moment of silence.
“Madelaine, don’t do this” insisted Kasumi
“Fine” decided Madelaine “You can stay”
“What?” Kasumi turned on her shocked
“But I’ll keep an eye on you in every moment and if I notice you aren’t reliable, you’ll go away immediately”
“You won’t regret this Shepard, I promise I won’t betray you anymore” Morinth was grateful
“Call me Madelaine, we’re friends now, we’re not on the Normandy anymore, we can organize parties, doing appetizers without worrying about war and protocols”
“You’re doing a mistake Madelaine” commented Kasumi
“Kasumi, that’s my decision and I won’t change idea, instead let’s talk about the other thing I wanted to tell you. I’ve found the reason I could die caused by sex because of sex” Madelaine took the pills from the pocket showing it to Kasumi and Morinth “The sick person engaged Porter to put these inside a disks’ bearer of the computer and the it arrived on my mind”
“On your mind? How?” asked Morinth inquiring
“Thanks to a connection the computer had with it”
“This mind is surely mad” commented Kasumi
“Don’t you understand Kasumi?” Madelaine looked at her intensely “Finally I can come back from Kaidan, doing with him all the sex I want”
“Are you listening to yourself? You’re already thinking to come back from Kaidan while Jack is in the hands of the mysterious psycho and Thane?”
“Thane is alive and involved in your madness?” Morinth widened her eyes “Well, they say when the saints take off the mask”
Madelaine and Kasumi turned on her with serious faces.
“What? It was just a joke”
Madelaine looked at Kasumi again. “I can tell him everything and make him come with us to save Jack”
“Listen, you don’t know if these pills are really the cause of your madness or if there’s more” commented Kasumi
“What? There’s nothing else, I’m not dying anymore”
“You don’t know for certain and if I’m right, Kaidan can’t come with us. They’re going to use him and most of all you can’t have sex with him”
“I waited for too long to stay away from that exciting body. I want to feel weak under his control again, seeing his satisfied smile while he punishes me”
“You’re intriguing me” Morinth smirked “You make me wanna join”
Madelaine turned on Morinth smirking at the same way.
Kasumi made a shocked face. She was surely feeling bad to be in the middle with two crazy women. ”Madelaine please, don’t be fool”
The smirk was still there when Madelaine looked at Kasumi. “We’ll see what will happen. Now let’s eat, I’m hungry”.
Without saying another word Madelaine went upstairs to change her clothes.
…
Madelaine and Morinth were sitted on the table while the Ardat Yashky was telling her about her sexual adventures after the war while Kasumi was cooking the dinner “And then I told him I couldn’t be with him anymore because I was interest in living a life alone, travelling around the world and banging more and more people” Morinth was referring
“It has surely been an exciting experience” Madelaine smirked intrigued “I wonder what I would feel to bang a hot guy like him”
“It was perfect, we got high like never before. I even have a photo of him if you want I show you that”
Madelaine look was more sadistic. “And you’re saying it just now? Come on”.
Kasumi was disgusted about the speech of that two, and not because they were speaking about a hot guy but because of their thirsty tone of voice and then the drugs. Madelaine had an aggressive personality during her period as Commander of the Normandy but she wasn’t sadistic like Morinth, she knew it. She couldn’t let Morinth bring Madelaine on the wrong way.
Kasumi made one of her falsest smiles she ever made while showing the plates with the roast chicken inside. “The dinner’s ready”
“Oh, roast chicken, that’s fantastic” said Morinth “I hope you didn’t make fall a nail accidentally into the plate”
Kasumi faded her smile instinctively trying to let a bit of it.
“Come on Kasumi, I was playing, make a smile once in your life”
“For your information I have a very high sense of humor” the thief sitted after having served the food
“Let’s talk about the way we’re going to rescue Jack” said Madelaine while eating the chicken “Mmm, in any case it’s very good Kasumi, I didn’t know you was able to cook”
“I’ve learned after the war. I hadn’t time to learn during my lifetime but then I redeemed myself and I didn’t regret it, it’s a very funny hobby” referred Kasumi
“As I was saying” Madelaine returned to the speech “When we three will go there, you’re going to distract the guards with diversives I’m giving you that will make them fall asleep. We don’t have to make confusion. This can free me the way so I can go to free Jack. I remember the way. When I’m returning home I’ll give the same information to Kaidan”
“Wait, are you still convinced that Kaidan must come with us?” Kasumi was shocked that she still didn’t change idea
“Of course, I want to return to my normal life with my husband and involve him in what happened to me”
“What’s happening to you Madelaine. I don’t think that the pills are the only way to weak you after sex, your life is far to be normal and Kaidan mustn’t be involved”
“I’ve trust in him Kasumi, he doesn’t need to be protected, he made years of military”
“I’m not saying this because I think he isn’t able to fight but because the person who want to dead is dangerous and will do the possible to destroy you and if she notices Kaidan, she won’t lose time to use him against you”
“We don’t know how powerful she is”
“For this reason I think it’s better to wait”
“No” Madelaine was still “Kaidan will come with us, there’s no reason to think that removing the pills to Porter wasn’t enough”
“Madelaine, you’ll regret this”
“Let her live the life she desires” Morinth intruded “He’s the love of her life, it’s normal she doesn’t want to stay far from him”
“See” Madelaine pointed Morinth while looking at Kasumi with an accused look “At least she understands me differently from you. Now if you want to excuse me I take a banana and I go to sleep”
Madelaine stood up and she did what she said before turning at them. “Tomorrow is going to be a long day” then she went upstairs without saying another word.
Kasumi looked at Morinth with contempt. “What game are you playing Morinth?”
The Ardat Yashky widened her eyes. “Oh Kasumi” she pronounced her name with a delighted tone “What make you think I’m playing a game? I’m just going to be friendly with Madelaine supporting her in every decision she wants to do after I made her and all of you suffer during the war against the reaper. You should do the same”
“You can fool Madelaine but you can’t fool me. I know you aren’t here to help but for your own personal purpose but I won’t let you ruin Madelaine’s life more than it’s ruined now and neither to put her against me”
“Maybe the problem isn’t me, it’s you” said Morinth with her manipulative voice “Madelaine shows in a very enthusiastic way the love she feels for Kaidan that this makes you become always more jealous”
Kasumi made a bitter laugh. “I’m not interested in Kaidan”
“The way she loves Kaidan and the fact that their love triumphed saddens you because their happy ending could be the same happy ending between you and Keiji”
Kasumi’s expression became more serious.
Morinth was satisfied. “Oh, did I hit a sore spot?”
The thief jumped up. “DO-NOT-NOMINATE-HIM. You know nothing about me, nor about the life I lived with the love of my life, so before filling your mouth of provocations, think of what you say in front of me and be careful”
Morinth smile became more evident. “Are you threatening me Kasumi? I’m in the lead with Madelaine, I don’t think anything you say has some value, neither the wall listens to your useless crumbs that come out from your mouth and get lost in the air”
Kasumi shaked her head. “I leave you in your sadness and maybe one day you can make yourself an examination of conscience” she walked intented to go away but not before throwing the chicken in Morinth’s suit making her scream. Kasumi smirked. “Enjoy your meal” then she blended in.
…
Jack opened her eyes. Her view was still confused before he appeared in front of her. She was on the ground with her wrists tied with handcuffs connected on the wall while Thane was knelt scrutinizing at every part of her face. It was disturbing.
“Thane, what are you doing? Don’t look at me in that way, it creeps the hell out of me” said Jack in an aggressive tone
“I was just seeing if everything was ok” the Drell explained
“Ok for what? Thane, can you explain me what’s happening? Why am I tied here? I swear I’m going to scream”
“Keep calm” ordered Thane before standing up “I can’t tell you nothing Jack, I just want you to promise me you’ll be good”
Jack made a bitter laugh. “I’m not the kind of person to be good”
“You must be if you don’t want to risk anything like Madelaine is”
“Oh yes, it’s for her” Jack’s voice was accusatory “Thane, why at a certain point started to grow inside you an hate for Madelaine. You loved each other, at least she loves you again and now you’re plotting against her”
“I’m not the same person anymore Jack. I manipulate people to get what I want, it’s the way I work and I enjoyed so much using Madelaine’s feelings just to weak her more” Thane smirked once he finished to speak
“You’re not doing it for your own purpose, you’re working for someone else and I want you to tell me it because I know deeply inside you’re good”
Thane smiled. “So even the crazy biotic is naive. So disappointing” he moved his face forward doing a provocative look “I’m not telling you”
“But I will”
Jack frowned trying to focus on the person who was approaching, the person who provoked Madelaine’s state and now kidnapped her. Thane turned shocked that she decided to reveal herself. Once the woman approached the look was cleared.
“Hi Jack” she said “I hope Thane threated you well”
“You… I know you…” Jack was confused “No, it can’t be, you were dead,… you were really dead”
“There was a secret passage after I activated the explosion. I’m here and I’ve always been so eager to destroy Shepard’s life after that events”
“Dr Kenson, Hackett’s partner, the one who put Madelaine in a trap during the events of the Arrival. I’ve never met you but I know the crazy things you did”
“She shooted at me, she revealed to be who she is”
“You was crazy and you are even now that you’re weakening her everytime she has sex with Kaidan or Thane”
“What a better way to die if not in the hands of the hottest men she ever had in her life. It is costing me to give her my boyfriend but it’s worth it, right my love?” Dr Kenson looked at Thane with a moody smile
“Of course, my Siha” answered the Drell.
The two approached and kissed each other passionately.
Jack was shocked and disgusted. “WHAT? YOU TWO? OH MY GOD”
Thane and Dr Kenson smiled perfidiously enjoying Jack’s reaction.
“You… you wasn’t with Hackett?”
“That old man? And why would I want him? I made him believe I was in love until I killed him” explained Dr Kenson
“Is Hackett dead?” another shocking news
“He was so infatuated,… and so fool. I hid his body and now Thane is dealing with military stuff at his place thanks to a serum that makes him look like Hackett. I can use it to my advantage in the future. He had nothing to do in this world and now me and Thane can conquest everything”
“You’re mad. An old man? And how old are you?”
“Don’t insult my girlfriend Jack” Thane defended the woman
“Thane, you don’t have to stay with this grandma, she’s using you, I know you love Madelaine and if you return from her she’ll love you too”
“Grandma? I’m young by nature” said Dr Kenson “And in any case Shepard has been spoiled with men in all her period on the Normandy, now it’s the time I get a hot man for myself too”
“Jack, Madelaine is with Kaidan now. I won’t ever return with her” clarified Thane
“You were dead and…”
“Thane, can you leave me alone with Jack? It’s the moment” Dr Kenson interrupted Jack
“Of course my love. I’m waiting you in our bedroom”.
They kissed at each other while Jack stuck out her tongue disgusted. She wanted to vomit. Which moment was Dr Kenson talking about? What is she thinking to do with her?
Thane went away so that Dr Kenson was focused on her.
“You disgust me” Jack started to insult her “You’re a dirty slut, getting with a younger drell than you and saying that Hackett is an old man while you’re always young. Get together with someone of your age”
Dr Kenson ignored her delusions. “I’ve to prepare to something I need. To control Shepard again”
Jack frowned. “Control her again?... Oh” her mind illuminated “She managed to not die after sex, so your patetic plan didn’t work”
“It can work again, thanks to the blood I’m going to take you”
“You won’t take me anything”
“I used to put pills in a bearer of disks thanks to Porter, a worker, but Shepard stole it and now I need your blood to take back the grip I had on her”
“It burns you, doesn’t it?” Jack provoked her “That Madelaine always had the men she wanted and you always stayed alone without a really hot man who could be in contact with you”
“Jack, there’s no need to be enemies, I’ve nothing against you, I’m doing this just to hit Shepard, my real enemy”
“Whatever thing you have against her, you have it against me too” clarified Jack “And the fact that your life has been miserable for your entire existence doesn’t bother me, nor Madelaine, nor anyone, because the only clear thing is that you’re a sad woman who took a Drell younger than her just to feel herself important, but you’re nothing than just a useless woman, a pusillanimous, a cockroach without restraint and shame…”
Dr Kenson became so nervous that she took a knife from her pocket to point it at Jack’s throat. Jack flinched a bit while the woman looked at her with anger. “You don’t want to provoke me. If I kidnapped you, it means I’m dangerous and very capable of my abilities, not useless”
“If you were capable of your abilities you wouldn’t have been so instinctive” Jack smiled “Come on, do it, demonstrate how much you’re aggressive, I don’t care to have a pretty face anymore, cut it into slices so that it’s easier for you to take my blood than just a puncture” Jack pushed the face against the knife
Dr Kenson looked at her with contempt for a while but she put the knife on her pocket again and she stood up. “I’m not going to surrender at your whims. You’re coming with me now to give you the injection and since you’re so eager to become my enemy, you won’t be released after it but I’ll use you for other purposes I’ve in mind”
Jack became serious and then Dr Kenson released her and she mantained the grip on her wrists behind her back.
“Let’s see if you were good to talk too much” Dr Kenson sussurred behind her ear with a perfidious smile.
Jack grinded her teeth and she let the woman bring her wherever she wanted.
…
Madelaine arrived there. Her house was in front of her eyes. Kaidan was there and her heart became full of joy at the thought to see hima gain. Madelaine smiled. She rubbed her hands on the peach and yellow dress she choosed for the occasion, she made a breath and she approached the door. She esitated before knocking at the door. The smile stayed in her face even when Kaidan opened the door and he had a surprised face.
“Madelaine”
“Kaidan, I’m so happy to see you”
He continued to observe her.
“Can you let me…?”
“Go away, I don’t want to see you ever again”
Kaidan closed the door hardly letting Madelaine in shock. What did she do? Leaving him alone for so much time without any explanation. She should enter. She knocked at the door repeatedly.
“Kaidan, it’s me” she screamed “I understand you’re angry but I had to stay away from you to not put my life in danger but now everything is solved. Please Kaidan, I want to stay with you”.
She waited a bit until he opened with an angry face. “Do you really think you can play with me everytime you want?”
“You’re right, I should have told you everything but I was scared for you, I was scared that you would have followed me and that the person who’s doing me this would have done something bad to you”
Kaidan put his hand on his forehead. “You’re doing this again” he turned his back on Madelaine walking inside the house.
Madelaine took advantage to enter with a quick step. “Doing what?” she said with a high tone of voice
Kaidan slammed the door and looked at her. “Who told you to enter?”
“I want to solve this awful situation”
“You’re making it awful, you always ruin everything” Kaidan accused her “First you abandon me for Cerberus and now for something you feel, for a terrible passion that is too high. Passion should be a way for people to be more united instead you said the contrary the last time. It seems you take always an excuse to break our relationship”
“It isn’t in this way”
“No?” Kaidan approached her in a teasing way “You never made me feel your partner in crime trying to leave me always out of danger when you know very well I can look after myself”
Madelaine walked backwards while Kaidan slowly rolled up his shirt sleeves. She hoped this could end in passion.
“You think to be smart but you’re a patetic woman, an insect without any value” Madelaine looked at the movements of his mouth while pronouncing that words to increase the passion, the wish to be insulted from him
Madelaine’s back was approaching the wall. “You’re right”
Kaidan grinned satisfied. “I couldn’t care any less about someone like you… What? Do you want a slap?”
“Yes, I would li…”
Kaidan slapped her before she could end the sentence.
Kaidan smirked “This is for taking joke of me for a lifetime”
The passion grew always more inside her. “Slap me again, insult me, step on me. Your satisfaction is everything for me”
“Don’t worry, you’ll like everything is going to happen”.
…
After having finished the injection, Thane was bringing Jack back to the place she was tied before. He gripped her wrists tied on her back while walking.
“After Madelaine will die you’re going at the Citadel with Amanda. It’s a matter of time until she gets rid of all the military people who support Hackett so that she can get control of it and in the future even of the Citadel”
“And you’re ok with this?” asked Jack
“Of course. The Citadel needs changes and Amanda is the right person to do it. And then I love her, I’ll support her in whatever her plans are”
“You know you can find better than her, right?”
“Are you offering me casual sex Jack?”
“Pffff” Jack looked at him sideways “If I want sex with someone it wouldn’t certainly be the partner of the psychopath who’s going to ruin my life”
“You choosed that. Amanda’s intentions were to release y…” Thane didn’t finish the sentence because he received an elbow on the stomach and even his gun had been thrown away from his pocket. Jack managed to free herself without he even could realize it and she took a gun from the table they were near to point it at him.
“Don’t move” she intimidated
“Jack, you’re going to have a lot of problems if you do it”
“Don’t even try to stop me Thane. I know there’s still a good side in you. You don’t want Madelaine to die, you don’t want me to be Dr Kenson’s prisoner forever. Let me go”
Thane raised his hands doing slow steps towards Jack while she made steps backwards.
“Jack” he continued to walk “I can’t” Thane started to run to catch her but Jack was fast. She shot his leg making him scream.
“Sorry” she ran fast climbing up to the conducted.
Thane limped to reach the gun Jack threw away from him some minutes ago. He could still shoot her in time. He knelt to take it and he turned to fire but she was already inside the conducted and he couldn’t follow her with that leg injured. They lost an occasion.

Chapter Text

Chapter 8: Dangerous surroundings
Madelaine couldn’t have enough. “Slap me again”
Kaidan did it enjoying every second.
Madelaine saw the way he was satisfied when she undressed herself but he was still with clothes on, rolled up sleeves and just barefoot. That made him so sexy.
“You’re just useless” Kaidan stated
That sentence made Madelaine lean on the ground without Kaidan ordering anything. She heard Kaidan laughing before she kissed every point of his feet. “Kaidan” she moaned “I love you”
Kaidan made a bitter laugh. “And I hate you”
Madelaine moaned stronger. “And you’re right. I’m despicable”.
While she was feeling his skin on her tongue, Kaidan raised his foot to put it on her face. He moved it continuously and it last for long but Kaidan never told her to go at their bedroom so they could practise that there or he never took off his shirt.
“Kaidan” that wasn’t a moan but she was starting a question. “Why don’t we go to the bedroom? Our bedroom so we can continue there. Always if you want and when you want my Master”
Kaidan laughed. “Oh Madelaine” he started “But I’m not having BDSM or sex with you in this moment”.
What did it mean? Wasn’t Kaidan consensual in having BDSM in that moment?
“I’m humiliating you. I’m using your naivety to make you kneel at my feet. Because this is what you deserve for having hurted me and never considered me for your selfishness. I’m not going to undress myself not because it’s sexy and powerful but because I don’t want to practise BDSM with a disgusting being like you, never”
Madelaine on the ground was crying. She was feeling really humiliated inside. What was she believing? What Kaidan could forgive her like that? Someone opened the door. Madelaine and Kaidan turned seeing Kasumi who looked at both of them puzzled.
“Oh my God” she said “I don’t want to know anything about that I just want Madelaine to come with me. There’s… something I want to tell her”.
Kaidan removed his foot from Madelaine’s face and then Madelaine stood up.
“I didn’t know you was here Kasumi” Kaidan continued to keep that satisfied smile
“Yes, me neither. I didn’t want to believe I wanted to visit London and here I am, finding what? You humiliating her like that”
Madelaine was slowly going next to Kasumi trembling.
“She deserved that. She hurted me first” Kaidan stated
“No one deserves to feel like this and you destroyed every part of her for your own satisfaction. You should be ashamed of yourself” Kasumi looked at him badly “Come on Madelaine, let’s go dressing in a private room”
Madelaine looked at Kaidan crying but he didn’t remove that smile. He was enjoying to see her like that not regretting anything. Madelaine and Kasumi went in the bathroom.
…
Madelaine had cried in the bathroom and she was in vain to vent herself with her but Kasumi stopped her and told her to not give Kaidan an ulterior satisfaction to feel bad for him. She vented when they were walking on the street.
“I feel like something broke inside me” Madelaine confided “I lost a part of me. I lost Kaidan forever and just because of this absurd story. We lived happy and in love, we rather had problems, we could solve it like nothing. Until this curse someone put inside me”
Kasumi stayed in silence until she started to talk. “Speaking of that… there are news you should know”
Madelaine turned on Kasumi looking at her surprised. “Which kind of news”
“That’s better you hear it from someone else. There are things that are going to upset you”.
What should she expect? Madelaine couldn’t really believe they already discovered the responsible. No, it’s impossible, it is surely about a clue not an actual fact. She couldn’t really digest to know which of her female enemies of the past returned to persecute her. That was making her feel anxious but it could have been a liberation. While Madelaine and Kasumi were coming back at home they heard voices arguing.
“I told you to not intrude in my life”
“I was just asking Jack, there are things still quite mysterious about your story”
“I delved into my story enough with Madelaine during that period and even if I didn’t I wouldn’t surely tell it to a disgusting person like you”.
Madelaine couldn’t believe Jack was back. She saved herself before they could actually implement the plan. Madelaine wasn’t surprised about how much Jack was amazing. Madelaine entered at Kasumi’s house and she smiled at Jack.
“Jack, I’m so happy you’re here” Madelaine walked with a quick step going to hug Jack who did the same
“And I’m happy you’re fine at the moment because there are news you should know” Jack looked at Madelaine, then Kasumi and Madelaine again making a sarcastic look “Even if I don’t agree to let this leech behind me to be our ally, you don’t give me any choice than reveal it in front of her”
“Hi girl by the way” Morinth smiled teasingly
“Morinth demonstrated to be a reliable person and you shouldn’t complain about it” Madelaine cleared
“I doubt it” Jack commented “But speaking about what I discovered… your enemy is Dr Kenson. She has always been behind your strange sexual behavior and she put you the curse”
Madelaine was shocked. Dr Kenson? That snake. She was dead. She shoot her and then the structure exploded. What did save her? After she tied her to use her like an object. She was indoctrinated that time. Why should she do it for real now? She has always been evil despite the indoctrination?
“No, it can’t be” Madelaine shaked her head
“I faced her when I was tied, she and Thane orchestrated all this from the beginning”
“Thane? What…?”
“He’s not the same person. He and Dr Kenson are lovers, they have big plans for the future and it scares me”
“Oh my God” Morinth covered her mouth making a vomit verse
Kasumi made a shocked face “Thane and Dr Kenson? I can’t believe it, what went through Thane’s mind? And Kenson? Staying with a young Drell”
“You should hear her, she felt young, too young for an old man like Hackett who she killed”
Madelaine woke up from that shock to hear another one. “Is Hackett dead?”
Jack told her everything about Thane’s transformation in Hackett and what was he doing when he was pretending being him.
“We must do something. We must stop them at any cost” Kasumi was determined
“But first we must discovers what exactly they want to do? How do they want to become powerful?” Morinth suggested
They stayed in silence but Shepard was just blocked for that shock. Thane and Kenson together. That was worst than the fact that Kenson was behind everything. The sick sexual arousal she put on her made her break up with Kaidan. She rejected Kaidan to not hurt him and that ended their relationship. That for Kenson. For that witch. That manipulator took Thane.
“I have to stay alone and reflect about all this” Madelaine decided
“But you’re the one who must give us indications on how to proceed” Jack said “You’re our Commander, you’ll always be”
“I need to reflect” Madelaine moved her steps upstairs
“Madelaine please” Kasumi said
She walked with a quick step trying to not throw everything on the ground for the nervousness. She went on the bathroom throwing everything there where the others couldn’t listen. After having finished she looked herself on the mirror with anger on her face. She imagined Amanda’s face at her place there smiling slyly. Like the bitch she was. She started to punch the mirror breaking in. Then again and again making the blood spread from the knuckles. Until she imagined she was gone forever.
“I’m going to kill you Amanda Kenson. I’m going to make your blood spread from your mouth. I didn’t kill you well enough that time? Didn’t you feel your life leave you like you deserved eh? I’m going to teach you what it means messing with me. Thane is mine, Kaidan is mine, and when I’ll break the curse and make you disappear from the face of the heart I’m going to enjoy sex with them how the hell I want. I assure you’re going to suffer badly this time”.
Her look was sadistic. Madelaine looked at the blood from her knuckles and then she licked it tasting it badly. Then she smiled perfidiously.
…
Amanda Kenson was keeping a metal stylus in her hand when Thane was giving her the news. With thumb and forefinger of the other hand she caressed the stylus slowly to keep herself calm. She was giving back to Thane.
“What does it mean she escaped?” Amanda asked
“She hit me and as much as I tried to stop her I couldn’t. I’m sorry Siha”
Amanda turned on him keeping her look cold. “But do you know what it means Jack’s escape for our plans right? She’ll tell everything to Shepard and their knowledge can have bad consequences. They have an advantage on us and we can’t let it happen”
“And we won’t. We didn’t tell Jack everything about our plans, we just made a hint so there’s still hope we’ll get what we want without Shepard, Jack or anyone can interfere”
“We have to play well our cards” Amanda looked somewhere else before focusing on Thane’s black eyes “I don’t want to lose you Thane. I love you”
“I love you too”
“You know how much Shepard is vengeful. She won’t lose time to kill me in cold blood to have you back again and Kaidan too. This is who she is. She wants all men for herself, she’s never satisfied, but I just want you because I accept you for who you are, I love you for your personality”
“And I love how much intriguing you are, by beloved Dr Kenson”.
They kissed passionately. Amanda felt that full lips at the contact and continuous fantasies came in her mind. She detached gently from him and she looked at him intensely. “It doesn’t matter Shepard discovered I’m behind her sexual behavior. She’s going to die and we two are going to become Queen and King of the Citadel once we get rid of the Council. The Citadel is turning soon into a Monarchy and it will be ruled by the best people in the entire Galaxy”
They kissed again deeper and deeper enjoying the passion they felt for each other.
…
Madelaine was lied on the bed keeping a pillow tightened on her chest. She couldn’t stop thinking that she ruined her marriage with Kaidan. She escaped from their relationship. She was afraid to die and lose him when maybe there could be something to do even staying close with him, telling him the truth about the curse. She never saw Kaidan so manipulative in that way with her. She deserved that. She could be sincere. Thane used her too. He had sex with her when he was already in a relationship with Dr Kenson. With Dr Kenson. How could he change from her to that woman? What could they two have in common?
Someone knocked at the door.
Madelaine sighed. “I can’t receive you right now. I need to stay alone”.
But the door opened anyway and Jack appeared. “I don’t care how you feel. You need to stand up from that bed” she closed the door and she was approaching her
“Jack please, respect my wish”
“I can’t respect that you stay here alone depressed for a man who doesn’t deserve your tears”
“I’m not crying, this is a bad shot for me, do you understard it? I love Kaidan and this matters to me”
Jack sitted on the bed. “I know but after the way he treated you some time before? Kasumi told me everything Madelaine, you can’t feel guilty after the way he humiliated you”
“I… I understand that what he did was wrong in any case but maybe if I had told him about what was happening to me and why we couldn’t stay close he wouldn’t have humiliated me that way, maybe…”
“Maybe you’d have died while having sex with him, that would have been better? You tried to protect him from Kenson if she had known Kaidan knew everything. Madelaine you did whatever you could to save your relationship with him. Everytime you spent time with him it was love. You was really feeling love and he was feeling it too… before this, but he doesn’t love you anymore, no one who does this really feels love”
Madelaine shaked her head. “It’s hard to believe that Kaidan changed and that he doesn’t love me anymore after having known each other for a very long time”
“I know but Thane did the same right? He allied with Dr Kenson, they’re lovers. It’s disgusting, I know…”
“It’s not her age but who she is. She’s mad Jack, I must stop her… and Thane… even if it’s hard to believe his change too”
“Look” Jack started “I wanted to make a kind of… party tonight, a sleepover and I want you to be active”
Madelaine widened her eyes when Jack announced that. “No, no, no, no, no, I’m not in the mood for sleepovers, I want to stay here in the bedroom alone, thank you for your proposal but I’m not coming”
“I say you no my dear and you know why? Because you’re coming whatever you like or not, I won’t let you depress yourself for Kaidan, Thane, Dr Kenson and all this story. You’re a strong woman Madelaine, you’ve always been and I want you to fight all this mess that happened to you”
“It’s not so easy to fight right in the moment it happened”
“But you must succeed” Jack insisted “You must succeed because you survived worst than this. You fought against a thousand of Reapers, You can’t let this come in the middle of your way”
Madelaine thought about it. Maybe Jack was right. Maybe they didn’t deserve so much attention. “Fine”
Jack smiled slyly.
“But I start the game. I want to know soon what you have in mind”.
…
Amanda looked herself at the mirror with that red dress decorated with white dots on. The sleeves were wide and even the neckline. That should make Thane desire her more. They were getting what they always deserved for years. The Citadel will soon become theirs forever and Thane will finally forget the woman who took joke of him during the period of the Collectors. Madelaine Shepard never deserved him, she never deserved Thane going in her bedroom all nights after defeating the Collectors to drink and have sex. Let’s say she never deserved that bed, that position as Commander of the Normandy and to be known by so many people. She wasn’t able to be a leader. It was time for a new woman to raise up. That woman was her. Amanda Kenson. She’ll be the new legend. Finishing to look herself at the mirror and adjusting her hair, she walked out of the room to go at her bedroom. She walks with elegance in the corridor of her structure ready to spend the spiciest night of her life. Almost arrived at the door of her bedroom, Amanda smiled seeing the rose petals she put to make Thane come. She entered and she went to sit on the upside at the edge of the bed. Finally it was the moment. Amanda continued to smile at the thought of what would have happened. She kept a seductive look waiting for Thane to come. He didn’t take too long. He had a worried face before seeing her there.
“Siha, why are you…?”
“Ssshh” Amanda raised from her position and she approached Thane “It’s not time for questions”
“I…” Thane was confused “I believe I’ve been clear about what I feel regarding this argument. I don’t feel like doing it, not in this period, not right now”
“I know you want it Thane, I know the passion you feel for me is real”
“It is,… but I can’t do it Amanda, not when I don’t feel it’s the right time”
“There can not be better time. I feel a connection with you Thane and I know you feel it too. We love each other and we help each other. You did what I said without question, you went at bed with Madelaine when I asked you even if it made me suffer thinking about you with another woman, even if your relationship with her is over. You couldn’t desire her in that moment and even if you don’t feel the desire for me now but you feel it at heart why not doing it? I’m just asking a night Thane. I want you, I want to imagine your satisfied body when you punish me. Mmm” Amanda lost herself in Thane’s body under his clothes “This make me feel reborn”
“Amanda, it’s not…”
“Please” Amanda moved her lips craving moving away from him while walking backwards and getting rid of her clothes. She went to take a rope in the drawer and she leaned forward with the wrists resting on the upside of the bed.
“Tie me please”
Thane stayed still a bit before taking off his jacket and revealing his body. He approached Amanda and he took the rope. Thane looked at her intensely before tying her wrists quickly. Amanda moaned for his movements at doing it, then Thane went behind her and after a while she heard something tight hitting her butt. It was a stick, Amanda recognised it. She moaned at every hit Thane gave to her. She heard his breaths be always more intense and hotter. She imagined his body moving in a dominant way, being satisfied for the victory. Amanda turned her head and she saw Thane got rid even of his lower parts. Thane aware of that gesture put his bare foot on hers rubbing it at the beginning then he squashed it. The passion growed up at the sensation of powerlessness that hot drell made her feel, especially when he forced her head to stay straight. Amanda moaned and she continued to enjoy that hits.
…
Jack uncorked the bottle of wine in the sitting room. “To us” she toasted
“To never let us break down” continued Morinth sitted in the sofa next to Kasumi
“We’re strong, always” declared Kasumi
“Yes, we are and today we’re playing” announced Madelaine standing next to Jack
“Oh” Kasumi made a sly look “Do you want to keep us with bated breath all day?”
“I know that looks and it doesn’t forecast nothing good”
Madelaine smiled sitting next to Kasumi and when Jack finished to fill all the glasses she sitted next to Morinth and she turned to speak them all. “I’m telling you it because doing this game was my idea. Everyone must tell one of the absurdest things passed in their lives and if we understard something of what you’re saying is a lie you must drink the wine, otherwise if we say it’s a lie when it’s not that person drink”
“Jack, I didn’t know you had such fantasies in these kind of games” Morinth teased
“Morinth, you have no idea” Jack made a fake smile to tease back “And since you’re so surprised why don’t you tell a story for us?”
“Oh, I wanted you to ask” Morinth smiled “There was this man, he was so stoned, he approached me and he said ‘Can you give me more drug?’ I answered ‘Yes’ giving him the Expel 10 I had remained and you know where he put it into?”
They all continued to look at Morinth waiting for an answer.
“In the hole of his butt” she revealed “Do you imagine it? In the bar unwearing himself to put the drug there, I soon told him to go in the bathroom because I wanted to try and it was so awesome. Then we drugged normally of course and we had the best sex of our life”
“It wasn’t the butt right?” guessed Jack
“It was instead” insisted Morinth
“No, it’s impossible you found a pleasure to drug yourself from there, it’s disgusting even for me”
“I’m sorry Jack, you must drink it all”
Jack looked at Morinth frowning but then she gave up. “Fine” she drank all the wine she had and she filled it again.
“But there’s some lie in the story” revealed Morinth
Jack widened her eyes. “Didn’t you listen the rules of the game?”
“I want to get drunk tonight, I don’t want to win, this is the good of the game”
“You didn’t have sex with that man?” presumed Kasumi
Morinth made a bitter laugh and she turned on her. “Kasumi, if there’s something I don’t let escape is sex for sure. You seemed out of the world on the Normandy”
“You continued to drug through your butt” guessed Madelaine
Morinth smile was bigger. “The only one who really knows me well”
“If you try something you never let it escape”
“Very well Commander” Morinth drank the wine and Kasumi did the same
“Now I want to tell my story” started Kasumi
“Actually I wanted to hear Madelaine since she guessed the lie in my story” said Morinth
Kasumi opened her mouth to say something.
“No, I want Kasumi to speak” said Madelaine “I’m curious about her story”
Kasumi smiled to her.
“Well, I hope it’s an interesting story hoping that irritation pimples doesn’t come out on your skin”
“Enough Morinth, stop bullying me” Kasumi got nervous
“I did what?”
“It’s better you start the story Kasumi” Madelaine tried to make peace between them.
Kasumi told the story of a day she went to steal a gold artifact and inside it there was a dragonfly that started to speak and requested to be free from the artifact. At the beginning Kasumi didn’t know what to do because the animal could be useful as a companion but freedom was everything. She didn’t try to convince it to stay with her even if they got affectionate so she clicked the right button of the artifact and it flyed thanking her.
“It’s awesome Kasumi” Jack said “I would have imagined you with an animal as a companion but never to speak with it myself. It would have been weird to have it on the Normandy”
“Totally” agreed Morinth with a sharp look “It would have suited her perfectly”
“Now I want to tell you my story” started Madelaine “When I was in the army there was this handsome man between the recruits who I had a deep crush and I looked at him dreamy anytime in any moments with the elbow laid in the wall and the hand on my face and one day I saw he noticed it and laughed with his male friends. I was totally embarassed and when I made the first steps we knew each other and our relationship became very deep”
“Deep in which sense?” Morinth asked with a curious look
“In the sense that we had a deep friendship. There was nothing more, we just had a sex night that’s all”
“Oh, that isn’t nothing” Morinth smiled
“Totally” even Jack was intrigued
“I even today ask myself where Brad is, but I don’t mind at all any of my companions of the Army”.
…
The game continued after a bit but Jack was irritated by Morinth’s behavior. She was threating Kasumi horribly, humiliating her even if she didn’t want to make understand it. She was able to make Madelaine believe she was reliable but Jack didn’t trust her and it seemed Kasumi wasn’t understanding it since she was answering to her provocations. Jack stood up and she took Kasumi from her arm.
“Kasumi, let’s go taking some orange juice together, all this alcohol is going to my head” she pulled her but she was feeling Kasumi was rigid at her touch.
“Come on Jack, this is the good of parties, keeping the taste of alcohol on your tongue” stated Morinth
“Yeah Jack, why are you behaving like this?” said Madelaine ironically
“I don’t always want to feel the taste of alcohol, thank you. I just want to talk alone a bit with my heart’s friend” Jack clapped Kasumi’s back forcing a smile
Kasumi made a giggle. “Yes, my dear friend Jack”
Jack and Kasumi were approaching the fridge. Jack took two glasses and she laid it on the table near it. “You need to calm down”
Kasumi frowned while Jack was taking the orange juice from the fridge. “Calm down about what?”
“Don’t give Morinth a reason to provoke you more” Jack was pouring the orange juice in their glasses. “Come on drink. Pretend we came here for it”
“I don’t understand why are you reproaching me for defending myself from that slimy”
“I know Morinth is despicable ok”
“What?”
“Yes Kasumi, you’re not the only one who thinks Morinth is pretending to be changed, I understod it too. She’s humiliating you in the worst way possible and this isn’t ok but you don’t have to answer her provocations, you have to pretend to not understand what she’s saying”
“I don’t intend to let her submit me, no one can”
“In fact. You’re a strong woman Kasumi and letting Morinth talk or defending yourself ironically is the best way to procrastinate so that we discover together what she has in mind”
Kasumi was in silence until she nodded. “You’re right, I exaggerated”
“Know that you can consider me a friend, always” jack put the hand on her head feeling dizzy “But now I’m not feeling really well”
“Yes, me too” Kasumi put the hand on her frown too “It has been a long night”
“It’s like we took something…”
“Hey girls”
Jack and Kasumi turned seeing Morinth smiling.
“Are you all right?”
“Ah” Jack started “Yes, yes, we were just speaking a little”
“I saw you two with this strange looks and I wanted to check”
“I and Jack were actually thinking to go sleeping” Kasumi informed her
“Oh, that’s a pity, we were having so much fun” Morinth smiled “I and Madelaine were thinking to dance and we wish you two join us too”
“No Morinth really, I’m tired” Kasumi tried to retreat but she seemed tired
Jack was feeling tired too. “Morinth, really it’s better we return…”
“Come on” Morinth words were slow and soft in her ear. The background was blurred around her face. “We had fun. You can’t go away like this” everything was confused. Jack’s feet didn’t hold up. It was just Morinth who was keeping her standing. Her creepy smile. It wasn’t affecting her. It was relaxing. She wanted to let her go. And she did.
“You... you’re right” Jack smiled too and it turned into a laugh “Let’s have fun”.
Everything was blurring. Jack was feeling confused and it was exciting. Everything became more exciting when disco music started suddenly and they went wild. They all laughed endlessly. Kasumi seemed like strangling herself for the laugh. Madelaine raised a eel while laughing. Jack put the hands on her knees while laughing and at a certain moment she was almost falling and she laughed more. And then there was Morinth. With a so pleasant aura, just like a suave dream. Her laugh was wicked, satisfied, relaxing like a drug, beautiful like sea waves. It stimulated Jack’s sleep… Yes, she wanted just to dream. She let herself fall on the ground hearing the music going further and further just like everyone’s laugh which seemed to turn off.
…
She walked through their bodies, slumped to the ground unconscious. Morinth made a perfidious laugh happy for the work she did drugging them all with the Expel 10. She leaned towards Jack who was the first one to fall and she sussurred into her ear.
“Jack. You wanted so badly to send me away from the team and you failed. You’re such a useless creature thinking to be a strong woman but you’re such an hypocrite”
She raised herself walking towards Kasumi, looking at her with superiority. “And you Kasumi. So naive and stupid without any sense of class. You’re unworthy of being part of the team, you always were since you joined the Normandy” with her feet she moved her body forward a bit before walking towards her: Madelaine Shepard.
“And you, Madelaine Shepard” Morinth leaned towards her and she squeezed her cheeks “I’ll make you pay every drop of blood for not having been a compassionate Commander for me” she pushed her face and she went away finding another room to call her. She went in a dark room which seemed empty and despite she saw the switch, she didn’t turn the light on because she liked the darkness. The athmosphere become more and more exciting in this way. Once she put her number she answered.
“Amanda, I did everything. I drugged them and now they’re spread out on the ground sleeping like little angels”
“Very well, continue in this way, make them trust you enough so the drug will reach them until they’ll feel very badly. Kill Jack and Kasumi the moment you find it appropriate but not Shepard, she’s mine, she must suffer the hell, I don’t intend to make mistakes here so drug them well”
“I hope that after this deal you’re going to give me what you promised” Morinth remembered her
“I didn’t forget it. I’ll give you a powerful position once I’m going to gain control of the Citadel with Thane as my King but I want to remember you something else. If you’re immune to drugs and most of all you came back alive is thanks to me, so do not disappoint me or I won’t just break the deal but even kill you”
“Don’t worry, you just occupy of this stuff of the Citadel, I’ll have fun with the girls here and believe me, this is going to be really funny” Morinth made a really perfidious laugh excited for what will come next.
