Reunited

Author’s notes: This is the 8th chapter of my ongoing series between Commander Megan Shepard, her lover and XO Miranda Lawson, and the crew of the SSV Normandy. To prevent the feeling of being lost when reading this chapter, read my earlier chapters or you’ll be wondering how Megan and Miranda met during their childhood, when Ashley joined them, and how Ash and Jack met. Also, the early humor is to compensate for the much angstier parts later on in this chapter. Once again, enjoy, review, favorite and introduce to your friends and fellow authors. Commander Megan Shepard can be seen with Miranda Lawson in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVPIKd0LUQI

Miranda hit the batarian commander with a heavy overload pulse, taking down his shields as a flashbang from Kasumi blinded the batarian terrorist. The batarian staggered out of cover blindly, and Commander Megan Shepard used her biotics to charge straight into him, sending him flying against a holo-monitor, smashing it. The incapacitated batarian lay on the ground, dazed as Megan put her foot down on his chest, pinning him to the floor while she casually aimed her Geth Pulse Rifle at his head. “Yipeekayee, motherfucker.” Megan said coolly as she blew his head off with a 5 round burst.

“Erm Shep? We’ve got a problem…only one kill switch code is left. What do we save?” Kasumi, who was hacking into the missile control console, asked with a hint of worry in her voice. The ground team of the SSV Normandy had received a distress call from the Alliance’s Firstenfeldbruck Missile Base, which was a Javelin Mk. II base on the moon Franklin and was meant to defend the human colony it was orbiting around from attacks. Until the Elysium Avengers, an anti-human batarian terrorist group, had launched a surprise attack against the base, and their 200 plus-strong force had overwhelmed the small garrison of Alliance troops defending the base.

Unfortunately, the Normandy had received the distress call too late to relieve the soldiers, and was also too late to stop two Javelins from being launched, one of which was targeted at the centre of the colony’s capital city while the other hurtled to the Alliance spaceport/military base on the colony. They had, however, enough time to get into the base and fight through the horde of batarian radicals and activate the kill switch to destroy the missiles before it hit the targets. Or just one missile, as Kasumi had just pointed out, and kill the terrorists, which the rest of her ground team, led by Garrus, was doing in the missile silos in the base.

Megan sighed in frustration as she started twirling her naturally maroon-colored ponytail with her hand, which had been a habit for her since she was a child when she was faced with high-stress situations. “Save the capital city. The fucking Alliance owes me for abandoning me after I saved their asses three years back, and now I plan to collect.” “Okay Shep. Feeling vengeful today huh?” Kasumi muttered, immediately working on getting the missile aimed at the city to self destruct. Meanwhile, Miranda cracked open a safe and smiled with satisfaction as her omnitool glowed, signifying that credits had just been deposited in her account.

“How much did you get?” Megan asked, activating her comm link and immediately regretted it, as Grunt roared his signature “I-AM-KROOOGAANN!” as he charged into a bunch of batarians, flattening them as Samara drawled “Find peace in the embrace of the Goddess, mofos.”, while she gunned down some batarians with her Collector Assault Rifle in that elegant voice of hers. As if Grunt’s roar wasn’t bad enough, Garrus happily yelled “BOOM HEADSHOT!” as he ‘crowned’ a batarian with a burst from his X29 Incisor sniper rifle, while Ashley was shouting “More dakka!” repeatedly with so much glee as she killed a couple of batarians with her Vindicator battle rifle that Megan started to wonder if she’d smoked some weed before she went down to the base.

If the Chief really did smoke some of that crap, Jack must’ve pressured her into doing so. Megan thought as Jack’s cry of “w00t I’m leet-er than you bitch!” and other assorted quotes from her team ripped from old human games and shows made Megan face palm, as Jack sent a biotic shockwave through a group of batarians taking cover behind a low wall, sending them flying. “Okay, I know the dialog from human games and shows from the 20th and 21st century is really fun to copy, but could we not do it now? And what’s your status?” Megan said while she shook her head in dismay. Her ground team was the best, most badass bunch of breathing, talking beings that ever lived and fired a weapon, but they were pretty silly sometimes.

“We’re doing great over here! There are only 2 to 3 platoons of these terrorist scumbags left! And did you three destroy those Javelins? BOOM HEADSHOT!” Garrus whooped exuberantly over the radio as he scored yet another headshot off a batarian who had tried to break cover and fire at Mordin, who incinerated another terrorist with a plasma jet from his omnitool while he yapped “Burn and enjoy it biatch. That’s how it is in hell.” That made Megan, Miranda and Kasumi laugh as they saw the camera overlooking the spaceport go fuzzy and then blank, while a bright spark appeared in the camera view overlooking the city. “There was only one kill code left, and we saved the city with it. The spaceport is gone. And I got 3 grand.” Miranda said grimly as Jacob butted in.

“Damn, that’s sad shit man. Siddown shitbag! And someone remind me to thank EDI for downloading those old movies and games from the 21st century aight? That is some of the best shit I’ve ever played and seen. Burn in hell motherfucker!” Jacob hollered as he used his biotics to pull a group of batarians towards himself and he gunned them down with inferno rounds from his X8 Avenger assault rifle as Legion and Grunt added their firepower to his, and the group of terrorists died and their corpses floated around limply as they burned away into ashes.

“So I take it you people don’t need help?” Megan asked her fireteam, while Miranda facepalmed due to the entire fireteam’s constant usage of clichéd movie and game one-liners, and Kasumi was just sniggering away. “We do not require assistance Shepard. But you might want to join in on the fun. Eat it douchebag!” Samara exclaimed joyfully as she flung a batarian against a missile launch tube with her biotics, snapping the terrorist’s neck in multiple places. “Good point. Let’s go join in the fun girls!” Megan grinned at Miranda and Kasumi. “Yeah!” Kasumi said happily as she followed Megan and Miranda, who had just simply nodded her assent as they jogged towards the missile silos, where the battle was taking place.

Slightly less than half an hour later, the ground team killed the last terrorist, courtesy of a perfect headshot from Legion’s X98 Widow sniper rifle when the radical had poked his head out of cover to avoid Tali’s combat drone. “Yeah bitches! Now stay down!” Jacob hooted as the rest of the team, except for Miranda, celebrated their triumph over the 200-odd terrorists as they headed back to the shuttle. “I’m more badass than you are shitbags! Now go and cry to your mommies!” Tali cheered when they got onboard the shuttle as everyone laughed. Megan noticed that Miranda was just sitting in a corner quietly, isolating herself from the team.

Before Megan had revealed herself as the Megan Miranda fell in love with when she was a teenager, Miranda was always shutting herself out whenever they were in the shuttle after a mission. After Miranda had found out who Megan was and they made passionate love to each other for the first time in their relationship, Miranda became very chirpy and often cracked jokes before and after a mission. And when they’d destroyed the Collector base, Miranda became the second most crass, loud and humorous woman on the ship, the first being Jack. However, she had distanced herself today, and that caught Megan’s attention.

“Miri honey, what’s wrong?” Megan said gently, stroking Miranda’s neck while the rest of the squad cracked jokes, oblivious to the couple. “Nothing. I’m just tired.” Miranda lied, smiling lovingly at the redhead. “C’mon Miri, you’re a terrible liar. You can tell me anything.” Megan tried again. “No really, I’m just tired.” Miranda said more forcefully this time, and Megan gave up probing and joined the team in their banter. The raven haired woman buried her face in her hands as the memories that had not haunted her in a long time came back in a rush. The cries of her fallen teammates as they attempted to push forward. Her pain when she was shot in the leg, and fear when she realized she was the only one left. Her screams of agony and desperate pleas as the batarians- “Miri? Hey, Normandy to Miranda…” Megan asked, waving her hand in front of Miranda’s eyes, trying to get her attention.

“Huh? What?” Miranda jumped with a start as she finally noticed Megan. “You were completely stoned, and we’ve landed 5 minutes ago. What’s up?” Megan asked, concern showing in her eyes. “Wow. Guess I’m really exhausted.” Miranda forced a chuckle as she got off the shuttle. “I’ll go grab some shut-eye in our cabin. Don’t make me wait too long…” Miranda said to Megan teasingly, and the redhead just laughed and shook her head. Truth be told, Miranda wanted to sleep to escape those memories, not because she was tired. That night, as Megan and Miranda lay in bed together soundly asleep, the nightmares that hadn’t haunted Miranda since she took charge of Project Lazarus returned to haunt her once more.

Foucault ran out, his X8 spraying rounds at the entrenched Elysium Avengers as he raced to a large rock as Miranda followed closely behind, popping shots from her X9 Tempest SMG at any of the terrorists who peeked above cover. They made it, but Collinson, who was behind them, never made it to the rock as an unseen sniper shot him, the shot piercing through his shields and lodging in his chest, sending him sprawling to the floor lifelessly. “Bloody hell, why’d they send us to take out this damned batarian arms factory? We’ve just lost our 5th operative!” Miranda snarled as she killed a batarian behind cover with a well aimed warp bolt.

“Because if we don’t, humans’ll get screwed over. And it’ll be fucking Mindoir all over again.” The mission leader, McCandlish, swore as he slid into cover next to Miranda. Cerberus had located a major arms factory that was producing arms for the batarian pirates and terrorists, and found out that the weapons were being stockpiled for a major attack on another human colony. Thus, they had sent a black ops team comprising of 16 operatives, Miranda included, onto the planet where the arms factory was. However, the sniper claimed another kill, as Sewell, one of Miranda’s friends, clutched her chest and screamed in pain as she bled out, leaving only 11 operatives, including Miranda, to destroy the factory. “Goddamn sniper! Where is that bastard!” McCandlish boomed as he killed a half dozen batarians with one long burst from his X76 Revenant.

“I’ve got the wanker, don’t worry.” The team sniper, Hansen, announced over the comm in his crisp British accent that was the male counterpart to Miranda’s own British accent. A boom from his X98 Widow sounded, and the batarian sniper was removed from the field of play for good. “Go!” McCandlish boomed, and the remaining operatives sprinted to cover, firing from the hip and taking down several batarians as Hansen sniped a few more batarians. They reached a low wall and took cover, reloading their weapons before they sprinted to the door. “Hey cheerleader! Move!” Another team member, Ramirez, yelled at Miranda when he noticed her hesitating, and Miranda simply smiled in response as she vaulted over the wall and sprinted behind her squad.

Many people in Cerberus nicknamed Miranda ‘cheerleader’ because of her cheerful, bubbly and warm personality, despite the fact she was trying her damnedest to be a tough-ass. And she brought that personality from her childhood into her adulthood because of thoughts of her long-lost Megan, and those thoughts alone were more than enough to keep her personality alive and her going through her life as she steadily climbed the proverbial ladder in Cerberus.

Unfortunately, the team didn’t notice a well-camouflaged machinegun nest, and they ran right into its line of fire. The batarian crew opened fire, cutting all of the team down, save for Miranda, who was only shot in the leg as she was behind the squad, and McCandlish, who went down swearing as he whipped out his ML77 rocket launcher. “Motherfuckers! Take this you goddamn shitbags!” McCandlish roared in fury and pain as he fired three rockets at the MG nest, blowing it and the crew to hell. The man then grabbed Miranda, who was screaming in pain as she lay on the ground clutching her ankle. “Fuck, looks like your ankle’s totally shattered girl.” The veteran Cerberus operative grunted as he roughly threw Miranda behind cover and dove after her, clutching his chest.

“Oh shit...” Hansen groaned as he took out a few terrorists who were advancing on their position. “We’re good...for now. Hansen, get back to the shuttle and get some fucking backup. Lawson, stay here.” McCandlish grunted as he deployed his X76 and broke cover to kill 4 more radicals. “What? No way sir! I’m not running!” Hansen shouted. “Who said anything about fucking running? Go and get us some backup! Move!” The senior operative roared. “On it! Fuck. Bloody bollocks.” Hansen swore as he complied, running back to their shuttle. “Lawson, stay down, and above all, don’t lose your personality.” McCandlish said gruffly as he stood up and exposed himself as he gunned down the advancing batarians by the dozen.

“Wait! No, don’t-” Miranda pleaded in vain as McCandlish was determined to take down as many batarians before he died, as he would eventually bleed out anyways. “Come get some, fucktards!” He roared, firing his machine gun and mowing down dozens of batarians. He staggered, taking shot after shot, but he held down the trigger until his heatsink was over capacity. “Fuck.” McCandlish growled, still taking rounds before a final shot to the cheek killed him. “No!” Miranda screamed as the batarians surrounded her. She grabbed her X9 and pulled the trigger at the batarians, killing two before one of them disabled her weapon with his omnitool.

She glowed a brilliant blue as she activated her biotics and was about to unleash a blast of dark energy, but the batarians just guffawed, one of them smacking the back of her head with the butt of his rifle, stunning Miranda before they simply grabbed her and hoisted her off the ground. “Heh. Hot chick here’s a fighter. Ain’t that sweet.” One batarian, presumably the leader, chuckled as his charges guffawed along. They then threw Miranda into a small, bare concrete room with a naked bulb hanging from the ceiling and stripped her naked before they patched up her wound. She glowed once again when the medic was done, but a batarian smacked the back of her head with his rifle, stunning her once more. They then chained her to the wall in a standing position, with her arms and legs chained to the wall by some very short chains.

“Shit, she’s freaking hot. Since we beat the fucking humans back today, let’s have some fun with the hot human whore!” The leader shouted to his minions, who were probably his lieutenants, in the room, and they whooped and cheered. “Well baby, time for some fun.” The leader laughed maliciously as he took off his armor, leaving him naked. “Fuck yourself, you scumbag!” Miranda screamed as she spat on his face. The leader just guffawed. “Good, good, I like my women to have spunk.” He growled as he brought over a chair and stood on it right in front of Miranda’s face. He then grabbed Miranda’s head and roughly pulled it towards himself as he fucked her mouth while Miranda gagged and spluttered in protest. When he was done 10 agonizing minutes later, the leader stepped down from the chair and pulled it aside as he stood in front of Miranda with a self satisfied smile, whose mouth and chin was glistening with her saliva and some sticky black fluid as she gagged and gasped for air.

He then violently thrust into Miranda’s pussy as he roared with sadistic laughter. “No-please stop it!” Miranda begged, jerking against her chains and trying to get free as hot tears of fear and sadness rolled down her exquisite face. “Hey Solem! Shut her up!” The leader hollered to one of the batarians in the room while he continued raping the raven haired woman, and the alien called Solem unzipped his pants with a perverted smirk as he twisted Miranda’s head to her left, where he stood on the chair. “Please I’m begging you, stop it!” Miranda cried out before her pleas were silenced when Solem began fucking her mouth and throat brutally.

Miranda heard the leader call over another terrorist a few agonizing minutes later, who went behind her and thrust his penis into her anus, and she started crying uncontrollably as she was horribly violated by the terrorists. The leader and the newcomer switched positions after a while, with the leader now violating her ass and the newcomer abusing her womanhood. When Solem pulled out and roared in pleasure as he ejaculated all over Miranda’s face, she started screaming for the batarians to stop while tears were flooding down her face, ignoring the batarian ejaculate that squirted into her open mouth. Suddenly, a warm, familiar feminine voice was calling to her from the background as she shook uncontrollably.

“Miri! Miri, wake up! Miri!” “Stop it!” Miranda cried as the terrorists just laughed and continued raping her. Miranda finally awoke with a start, sitting up and her vision blurry from all her crying as she saw a fuzzy figure kneeling in front of her and shaking her awake. “I SAID STOP IT!” Miranda screamed, forcefully throwing the figure back down against the bed as she strangled the figure. “Miri! Stop, it’s me! It’s your Cassie!” Megan croaked, unable to speak normally with Miranda squeezing the air and life out of her. Miranda’s vision finally cleared enough and with the help of the light from the bedside lamp which Megan had turned on, she saw that she was strangling the one woman she loved with her entire being.

“Oh my God Megan I’m so sorry! Please don’t leave me!” Miranda wailed, tears still streaming down her face as she immediately let go of her vice-like grip on Megan’s neck and pulling Megan up into a tight, desperate embrace. “Please don’t leave me Cassie sweetie...” Miranda sobbed, tears still flowing out of her enchanting cerulean eyes as Megan hugged her tightly. “Don’t worry Miri honey I’ll always be here with you and I’ll always love you...don’t cry now.” Megan whispered softly into Miranda’s ear as Miranda continued her sobbing. When Miranda’s sobs subsided a bit, Megan looked into Miranda’s eyes as she wiped away her tears.

“Tell me what you were having a nightmare about Miri. It’ll be better after that. Besides, I have all the time in the universe for you.” Megan said gently. “Okay...8 years back, I was on a mission with 15 other operatives to destroy an Elysium Avengers arms factory.” Miranda quavered as she started. “Everybody else except me and a sniper called Hansen died, and under our CO’s orders, he escaped back to the shuttle to get reinforcements. So I was the only one left, and I was injured. Those terrorists captured me, and as soon as they fixed up my ankle, they constantly raped me...” Miranda sobbed, her tears starting to flow once again as Megan hugged her closely.

“...It took the reinforcements 4 days to get there, and Hansen was there with them when they freed me. By then, I was brutally raped...repeatedly every hour of the day, every day...in every single...” Miranda cried, burying her face in Megan’s neck as the redhead cut her off. “Miri baby, I understand what you’re trying to say. You don’t need to worry, nothing can make me love you any less.” The Vanguard smiled lovingly at her Miri as she gently lifted her face up with her hand on Miranda’s exquisite chin. “Really? Did you mean it?” Miranda sobbed softly, looking uncertainly into Megan’s beautiful honey green eyes. “Of course I did dummy. I love you more than anything else in this galaxy.” Megan smiled warmly at Miranda as she kissed the brunette on her cheek.

“Thank you Megan. I love you more than anything else in the galaxy too.” Miranda smiled back as the two women lay back down on the bed as Miranda lay atop Megan, their breasts pressed together through their translucent teddies, carefully positioning herself so that her weight wouldn’t make her Cassie uncomfortable. “Did you know that I was actually considered one of the most liked and cheerful operatives around before the mission happened?” Miranda asked as she snuggled up against Megan’s warmth. “Really? Mmm...since I definitely love you, it’s pretty believable.” The redhead joked as Miranda smiled back.

Megan then softly sang her a soothing song, and the raven haired woman smiled happily, resting her head in the crook of the Commander’s neck, closing her eyes while she hugged Megan close as the redhead reciprocated the hug, and soon she was fast asleep on top of her lover, still hugging Megan as Megan smiled and drifted off to sleep as well. Miranda Lawson did not have any more nightmares that night.

The next morning, the two women got up together and showered together, and they kissed each other passionately for a few minutes before they dressed and got started on the day. Miranda went around checking on the Normandy and their supplies, while Megan got started on her own ‘to do list’. First, she had to know the op on which Miranda had become a totally different woman from the Miranda she knew from her childhood, and she needed to talk to Chambers about Miranda’s nightmares. Unfortunately, accomplishing the first meant she needed to talk to the Illusive Man, to whom she’d shown both middle fingers several times, and she occasionally still took orders from as he could still destroy the Normandy as he had explosives planted onboard, much to her dismay.

She sighed as the state of the art quantum entanglement field that was installed on the Normandy and allowed her to communicate with the Illusive Man as if though they were in the same room, although they were thousands of light years apart activated. She sniggered slightly when she saw the old bastard still smoking his ubiquitous cigarette while he sipped on his whiskey...or brandy...or something. “Hi Timmy.” Megan deadpanned, using her mocking nickname for the Illusive Man.

“What is it Shepard?” The Illusive Man asked, irritated by the insult. “About 8 years ago, Miranda went on a mission to take down an Elysium Avengers arms factory. The team was wiped out, and she was captured and brutally and repeatedly raped for four days before reinforcements arrived. Remember that?” Megan asked as she stood there. “Ah yes, Operation Protector. You can ask EDI for the mission files, as your unshackled AI can access just about anything now.” The Illusive Man said as he puffed away contentedly on his cigarette before he killed the connection.

She stepped out of the deactivating field as the conference table whirred back into its usual position. “EDI, pull up the files for an Operation Protector 8 years ago and beam it up here.” Megan commanded, directing the order at EDI’s holo at the head of the table, which was in front of Megan. “Acknowledged Commander.” EDI intoned as the files appeared a few seconds later. Megan’s eyes widened in horror when she read the file. Shit, those fuckers really tore poor Miri to shreds! The shitbags! The redhead thought angrily as she sat on the table and pored through the file and read every detail about how the assault team was killed, and Miranda’s repeated, brutal gang rape throughout the four days. And after the main report was concluded, Operative Hansen quit 3 years later with PTSD due to his guilt over not being able to rescue Miranda, according to a postscript added 3 years later.

Poor guy. Not only did those terrorist fucks break my Miri, they broke a good man too. Megan thought bitterly as she finished reading the file. She strode out of the briefing room and through the armory, where Jacob sat at his monitor researching upgrades for sub-machine guns and Ashley sat at a table at the far end of the room overlooking the drive core, cleaning the squad’s sniper rifles. Both of them looked up and acknowledged the Commander with a nod of the head, which Megan returned as she strode towards the lift purposefully, before they got back to their work with a collective “hmpf”.

Megan headed down to deck 4, and she found Miranda joking with Tali in the engine room, where the redhead and Miranda screwed each other’s brains out before they went off to destroy the Collectors. “Hell Miranda, when I first saw you on Freedom’s Progress you were a stuck up bitch. Then when I joined after Haestrom, you were pretty easygoing. Now you’re a complete riot.” Tali chuckled. “Megan has that effect on me. She makes me lose my sanity, my mind, my rationality, and most importantly, my clothes.” Miranda laughed as Tali broke out into a fresh round of laughter. “Oh hi Shepard! Need something?” Tali rattled off like she always did, noticing Megan walking into the engine room. “Actually, I need Miranda. Not for the purpose she’s hoping for though.” Megan giggled with a playful glint in her large honey green eyes.

“Oh! Erm...I’ll get back to work then.” Tali warbled as she almost ran off. “Heh. Wonder why she’s always this nervous, even back on the old Normandy.” Megan chuckled. “You wanted something?” Miranda purred, cupping Megan’s breasts through her uniform. “Uh...we’re going to see Chambers. Now.” Megan stammered, her face beginning to flush from the intimate contact in full view of Tali, who was thankfully too engrossed in her work to look elsewhere. “What? Why the sudden visit?” Miranda asked, surprised. “We’re going to find a cure for those nightmares. I’ll be there for you the whole time.” Megan said reassuringly as she pulled Miranda by her hand to the elevator.

Ten minutes later found the two women in Kelly’s small office she used when members of the Normandy’s crew wanted to talk in private, telling the young shrink about Miranda’s nightmare. “So...the mission back on Franklin triggered those memories of that failed mission?” Kelly said softly to Miranda, who was sobbing into a tissue as Megan grasped her shoulder and gave her a reassuring squeeze. “Yes. Before that, I completely forgot those bad memories. Or so I thought.” Miranda sniffled before she blew her nose into the tissue.

“Hmm. Okay Miranda, why don’t you try this? Try dreaming of Shepard before you go to sleep tonight. Doesn’t need to be anything in particular, just as long as you dream about Shepard.” Kelly advised the crying woman, who simply nodded and softly whispered out “Thanks. I appreciate it.” “Thanks Kelly. You’ve been a really great help.” Megan smiled as she gave Miranda a gentle hug. “Anything I can do.” Kelly smiled brightly before she went back out to her post at the CIC. That night as Miranda snuggled up against Megan’s warmth, she remembered Kelly’s advice and as she began to drift off, she began to think about the woman lying asleep next to her.

Soon, she was having the same erotic dream she had of Megan almost every night before Megan came back into her life. “Ooh fuck me Megan!” Miranda moaned in delight as Megan performed cunnilingus on her while three of the redhead’s fingers slid deep into Miranda’s wet, warm vagina, more sand getting in Miranda’s long, jet black tresses of hair as she tossed her head against the beach back in abandon, and the surf lapped at the two lovers. The raven-haired beauty only had her beloved Megan for company on this otherwise deserted island in the Caribbean back on earth, and she had all the time in the galaxy to spend with her sultry redhead.

As she was about to climax, the scene suddenly reverted to the room. The very room where she was broken for the rest of her life until Megan came back into it. The terrorists were standing there once again with their lecherous smirks, while she was chained to the wall completely naked. “Oh no. No-no-no...” Miranda whispered in horror as the batarians advanced on her. “Please...don’t rape me...” Miranda pleaded as the terrorists simply laughed and continued advancing on her. A massive explosion took out the front door and the wall it was hinged to, along with a dozen batarian radicals who were lifted from the ground and flung against the far wall screaming, instantly dying upon contact with the wall. Miranda looked at the door to see none other than her girlfriend, Commander Megan Shepard, standing in the smoking crater in her signature hot pink armor, glowing a brilliant blue.

“Don’t any of you fuckers dare touch my Miri!” She roared as she unleashed a massive biotic blast, instantly killing the batarians and flinging their corpses all over the place. “Oh Megan! You saved me! Thank you! Thank you so much!” Miranda cried out in joy as her lover freed her from her chains with another, albeit much smaller, burst of dark energy that broke the chains into tiny pieces. “My pleasure, my beautiful princess.” Megan giggled as Miranda hugged her tightly before she grabbed Megan’s face and yanked the redheaded Vanguard in for a very long, passionate and bruising kiss of joy and lust. “Well, I think it’s time the beautiful princess rewarded her knight in shiny pink armor.” Miranda giggled as she slid her right hand down to Megan’s privates down below, but Megan brushed her away gently yet firmly.

“Now’s not the time.” Megan said shyly, blushing as she held Miranda’s hand. “There’s no better time than now, and I KNOW you want this.” Miranda purred as she broke free from Megan’s grasp and brushed against Megan’s most intimate part, and some soft silky fabric. “What the...you have armor on and I can still touch your cavern of love? Oh well, all the easier.” Miranda said breathily as she forcefully inserted three of her fingers into Megan’s tight, warm pussy as the redhead tried to resist as her face started to look like a ripe tomato, thanks to her blushing from getting simultaneously aroused and embarrassed. Megan then inexplicably started shaking her while she was repeating something.

“Miri stop! You’re just dreaming! Miri, wake up!” Miranda finally awoke with Megan’s vigorous shaking. “Huh...wha...” she mumbled sleepily as she took a few seconds to assess the situation. When she fully awoke, she saw that she was facing Megan, who was lying beside the ex-Cerberus agent on her side. “Hey Cassie baby.” She smiled, but then she realized that Megan’s hand was under her own nightgown and she was blushing heavily as she looked at Miranda shyly before her gaze returned to her own crotch.

“Huh?” Miranda asked, stumped as she followed Megan’s gaze. What she saw made her burst into an uncontrollable giggling fit. The hem of Megan’s nightgown was hiked up over her ass, and Miranda saw three of her own fingers immersed in Megan’s warm, wet womanhood. “Umm...do you mind not finger-fucking me?” The redheaded Vanguard squeaked timidly, still trying her best to convince Miranda’s hand to keep to its owner by force. Unfortunately, Miranda was still unbelievably horny from the dream where Megan was ravaging her like never before on the island, and she wasn’t going to comply.

“I mind. And I’m going to disobey you, Commander. In fact, I’ll going to have you screaming my name while you cum right into my mouth as I fuck you relentlessly. Starting...now.” Miranda purred throatily, fingering Megan extra hard as if though to emphasize her point, while the Commander moaned in pleasure and delight. “No, stop-ooh-ooh fuck yes- just stop. Not now...mmh!” Megan moaned as she writhed about, still trying to get the brunette’s fingers out of her, but with no success. “Really? Then why don’t I hear you complaining?” Miranda teased as she paused her finger assault on Megan’s womanhood, sliding down and kneeling on the floor while her top half lay on the bed on her ample chest.

She gave Megan’s extremely beautiful core an admiring gaze before she dove right in with her tongue and fingers, flitting her tongue over the redhead’s clit rapidly and repeatedly while the same three fingers went back into action deep as Miranda thrust them deep into Megan’s tight, wet warmth as Megan continued moaning and gasping as she bucked against Miranda’s face, trying to force the raven haired woman’s tongue and fingers deeper into her. “Oh my God-mmh yes baby-Miri, you’re hornier than-oh shhiiiit!-a fucking varren in heat!” Megan cried out as she jerked around while Miranda fucked her mercilessly. “You’re right. But you were just as horny as I am now in the dream before my nightmare.” Miranda purred, looking up briefly before she resumed her task of getting Megan to achieve orgasm.

“Oh God-oh God-uuh yes-yes-yes fuck...” Megan moaned out, one hand grasping the back of Miranda’s head and a fistful of her long, jet black tresses as she shoved her lover’s face deeper into her core, making sure it was well buried as she kneaded her own breasts with her free hand. Miranda then slid in two fingers from her other hand into Megan’s anus, fucking her lover in both orifices as Megan’s moans increased in volume and desperation. Megan enjoyed getting her sweet little pussy eaten out no matter who did it, but whenever her beloved Miri was eating her out, she swore she had out-of-body experiences from Miranda’s deft tongue driving her to the place of her fantasies, and she knew Miri felt the same about Megan eating her out.

It seemed like only a moment, but in reality it was slightly more than 10 minutes before Megan started convulsing wildly as she was sent into ecstasy by Miranda’s practiced tongue and fingers. “OH FUCK MEEEE MIIRIIII! I’M CUMMIIIINGGG!!” Megan shrilled as she desperately clutched the bedsheets as her back arched off the bed, her chest and abdomen arched into the air as she screamed and squirted out her orgasm. She then flopped back down onto her bed, completely spent but very satisfied as she gasped and panted while her limbs continued twitching slightly from the massive orgasm as Miranda gathered up Megan’s sweet cum from her pussy with her tongue and lips.

Megan just laid flat on the bed, gasping and trying to clear the stars from her vision, her limbs twitching slightly from her orgasm as Miranda got back onto the bed, leaning over Megan on her hands and knees as she kissed her girlfriend passionately. As soon as Megan recovered, she roughly rolled them over and pinned Miranda down onto the bed. “Close your eyes and don’t open them until I say so. And don’t roll over.” The redhead commanded as she slithered off the bed. Miranda just giggled as she complied while both women stripped, wondering what her Cassie was about to do to her.

“Okay Miri, you can open your eyes now.” Megan purred, and Miranda giggled as she complied, turning around to face her girlfriend. “What th-aah!” Miranda yelped as she only had enough time to see Megan swinging the riding crop from Miranda’s ‘magic box’ at her bare, perfect behind, making contact with a satisfying smack. “You bad, bad girl. I help you get over your nightmare and this is how you reward me?” Megan hissed with a gleam in her eye that Miranda had seen a few times before, and that served to simultaneously arouse and make Miranda slightly scared. There was nothing but raw sexual desire in Megan’s honey green eyes, and that meant that there wasn’t going to be any mercy for the ex-Cerberus agent.

“You ungrateful woman…” Megan said throatily as she whipped Miranda once more, the brunette moaning in pain and pleasure as her girlfriend continued. “I am going to teach you some manners tonight, young lady.” The Commander purred, whipping Miranda a few more times before she buried her face in Miranda’s crotch, ‘teaching’ Miranda some ‘manners’ with her tongue as the brunette moaned and gasped in pleasure. Megan then slipped three fingers in, fingering and simultaneously performing cunnilingus on Miranda while the raven haired woman continued moaning.

“Ooh God yes-yes-yes! I promise I’ll learn my lesson and be a good girl, I swear!” Miranda screamed out as she felt Megan work two fingers deep into her rarely explored asshole, which changed when she hooked up with Megan, her only true love since adolescence. “Oh really? That’s good…very good Miri, I think you’re learning your lesson.” Megan whispered breathily into Miranda’s ear over the brunette’s throaty moans. Less than 5 minutes later, Megan’s expert tongue and fingers sent Miranda straight into sexual bliss as she peaked.

“OOOHH YEESSS I’M CUMMING MEGAN! SHHIIIIIIITT!” Miranda screamed, nearly singing out the words in a very high pitched tone as she gripped the sheets tightly as her back arched off the bed, her magnificent breasts protruding into the air. Megan pulled her face away from Miranda’s core, and was just in time to get squirted full in the face by Miranda’s hot vaginal fluids that had been building up in her dripping wet tightness for more than ten minutes, which began when Megan started fucking Miranda. Megan eagerly drank all of Miranda’s cum and went back down on the brunette stunner, harvesting all the delicious fluids still in and on Miranda’s tight little pink hole.

Miranda moaned and gasped, luxuriating in the boneless feeling of her limbs with her enchanting azure blue eyes closed in sheer pleasure while Megan gently sucked on Miranda’s sensitive spot on her neck, causing the ex-Cerberus officer to gasp and shiver in delight and want. “Oh Cassie…I think I should be punished more. I’ve been such a rude girl…” Miranda panted as Megan straddled her on top with sexual desire still visible in her eyes and a twisted smile. “Oh yes, you should be punished like the naughty girl you are. In fact, it’s time for the main event.” Megan hissed sensually into Miranda’s left ear while she nibbled on the brunette’s earlobe.

Megan’s fingers re-entered both Miranda’s pussy and her cinnamon ring, causing the brunette beauty to moan loudly in arousal once again as her own digits worked their way deep into Megan’s wet and maddeningly warm female tightness and her anus, untouched until Miranda came back into her life, causing the redhead to gasp and cry out in unparalleled pleasure. Both women finger fucked each other relentlessly as they attacked each other’s breasts with their lips, teeth and tongue. Miranda felt herself nearing her threshold but she could sense that her Megan still had some way to go, and she moaned out her request.

“Cassie honey-mmh shit-slow down…I-aah!-want us to finish together!” Miranda moaned loudly as Megan stopped her treatment of Miranda’s breasts and looked at her girlfriend while she gasped and moaned as Miranda continued to fuck her in both holes. Understanding what Miranda meant, Megan just let out a throaty and sexy moan of approval, nodding her head in agreement before she went back down to suckle on Miranda’s nipples. Less than 10 minutes later, both of them stopped suckling on each other’s breasts and looked into each other’s eyes.

“Oh-oh-oh shit Miri sweetie I-I’m…” “Uuh Megan baby I’m so fucking close…” They moaned before their earth shattering orgasms overpowered them. “OOOOOHH FUCK YEEESSSSSS! I’M CUMMING HONEY!” Both women shrieked, their voices extremely high pitched, like that of a soprano as they shot their feminine cum out of their vaginas and onto the bed in a few massive spurts, wetting a large portion of the bed. Megan crushed her full, pouty lips against Miranda’s own in a bruising kiss of passion as they screamed and moaned, albeit muffled, their orgasms out into the kiss. When both ladies were sure they had fully screamed out the pleasure, they slid their tongues into the other’s mouth.

Their tongues started dancing around in their mouths passionately while they continued moaning as the last of their juices flowed out of their pussies and onto the bed. They finally broke off the kiss for some much needed air, and they gasped and panted loudly as Megan rolled off Miranda and back onto the bed, their legs still spasming from their intense orgasms. “God…oh Lord that was amazing.” Megan finally managed to gasp out, wrapping her arms around Miranda and pulling the raven haired woman in for a loving embrace, which Miranda reciprocated. “Mmm, every fuck I have with you gets better and better Cassie.” Miranda whispered huskily, her voice slightly hoarse from her screams and shrieks of ecstasy.

“So…what about your nightmare?” Megan said tenderly, her right arm pinned under Miranda’s pleasant weight as she hugged her XO and lover with it, her left brushing a stray lock of Miranda’s jet black hair behind her right ear as the couple leaned in slightly for a short, sweet kiss. “I’m cured of it, thanks to you. Thank you Megan dearie. Everytime I get that nightmare, I know that you’re right next to me, ready to save me.” Miranda said gently against Megan’s cheek as she undid Megan’s ponytail, letting the Vanguard’s luscious maroon locks of hair cascade down around her beautiful face and her naked shoulders and back.

“That’s great honey. I’ll always be with you Miri.” Megan whispered throatily to Miranda before she kissed the sexy brunette’s forehead, smiling lovingly. “And I’ll always be with you too Megan.” Miranda whispered back with a contented smile before they drifted off to sleep together in each other’s arms. Miranda Lawson would no longer have any more nightmares about those days for the rest of her life.

The next morning, the two women went through their usual morning routine of beautifying themselves for the day ahead. Not that they needed anymore beauty as they were already the two most beautiful women in the galaxy. They then headed down to the mess for breakfast, where both women sat next to Kelly and they filled her in on the details of how her technique to forget Miranda’s trauma worked (Megan was highly reluctant to say anything, which filled Miranda with mischievous glee as she told the Yeoman every explicit detail while Megan blushed away vigorously). “And so we came together, and from that moment on I knew that would wash away the memory of my rape and torture.” Miranda concluded with a radiant smile as she nibbled on her pancakes.

“Aww that’s so sweet. And very erotic.” Kelly giggled as she chewed on her own pancakes as she looked at Megan, who was staring at the ground, blushing like a schoolgirl caught skinny-dipping by some boys and hoping to God that the deck would fall out under her and just swallow her whole. “It’s ok Shepard; I’m a counselor and a woman as well. It’s just girl talk.” Kelly chuckled lightly, as amused as Miranda was at Megan’s expression. “Hey, look who’s here.” Miranda said as she sipped on her tea, nodding towards Ashley and Jack, who were leaning on each other and loping into the mess, wincing with every step.

“Hey Miranda! You’d better announce your relationship with Shepard next week or else I’m gonna pulp you with my biotics! I got half a grand riding on it.” Jack hollered to Miranda as she and her new girlfriend, Ashley, joined the mess line. Miranda just snickered at that as Megan just sighed while she chewed on the bacon that Gardner had served up with the pancakes. The Normandy’s crew knew that the Commander and the XO became an item after they’d recruited Garrus and Kasumi just before the derelict Reaper mission, but neither Megan nor Miranda had publicly announced their relationship yet, and thus they’d started betting on when the lovebirds would come clean.

“Fuck Jack, you bang like a krogan.” Ashley hissed as she sat down at the table with the three women and her lover, wincing as she gingerly took her seat. “Fuck you, you soft-shit pussy. You bang like a fucking thresher maw.” Jack grunted back, wincing as well as Megan, Miranda and Kelly laughed. The unlikely couple started out with Ashley hiding under a table everytime Jack looked for her, but now they were giving it to each other in their private quarters, which was Miranda’s old office, which Miranda had passed on to Jacob (he refused to use it) after she’d moved into Megan’s cabin, saying that since Jacob had Kasumi, he needed somewhere private.

Jacob had then passed it on to Ashley and Jack, saying he didn’t need it, and Jack had gleefully accepted over Ashley’s protests. “Hey everyone! I got 1 g up for Ashley and Jack coming clean with us by the end of this month!” Megan hollered to the rest of the crew, who earnestly responded with counter-bets and whoops of excitement. Also, everyone knew that Ashley and Jack were in love with each other, but they hadn’t started betting on it yet, saying that betting 3 months in was a bit quick. “What the shit…skipper!” Ashley whined at Megan, who was grinning like a lunatic as she sipped on her coffee as Jack groaned, running her hands through her short hair.

Ever since she’d hooked up with the Chief, Jack had let her hair grow, and Ashley simply adored Jack with her new do although Jack was not pleased. “I’ll put 1000 creds on the same thing!” Miranda laughed loudly, countering Grunt’s 500 cred bet that they wouldn’t say anything till November, which was 3 months down the road. “I’m going for 450 that they will reveal everything next month. Young love cannot hold out for long.” Samara said in that elegant voice of hers as she smiled broadly. “750 on the same thing.” Kasumi giggled, patting Jack on the back.

Megan then smiled at Miranda, glad that her beautiful princess had recovered from her memories of her traumatic capture and gang-rape. “I’m so glad you’re fine again Miri. I love you, and we are an item.” Megan said loudly but tenderly to Miranda, and the whole mess hall fell into silence. Chakwas dropped her coffee mug as she did a spit-take, her jaw slack with surprise much like everyone else. “It’s all thanks to you Megan baby. I love you too, and we’re together people!” Miranda yelled happily as everyone stared at them in disbelief, stunned that the two women in charge of the Normandy had just admitted their feelings to the crew.

“Yes! Pay up dawg!” Garrus whooped triumphantly, breaking the silence as everyone except him, Daniels, Kelly and Joker started cursing their luck as they paid up, and the mess was filled with the glow of omnitools activating as Garrus grinned like the cat who’d eaten the fish, while Daniels and Kelly were smiling triumphantly, and finally Joker was grinning and nodding happily as he thought about all the porn he could buy on the extranet. “Love you Miri baby.” Megan smiled as she leant in to kiss Miranda on her supple lips. “Love you too, Cassie honey.” Miranda smiled back, truly happy that her Megan was back in her life.

Final notes: Don’t ask me how I got this chapter out in a week, cause I honestly don’t know. I usually take 2 weeks to get a chapter out due to my diploma course, and that’s without a major project like the one I have now. I decided on a fluffy ending due to numerous requests, and I hope you guys are happy with it. And before you go, review, drop me some ideas, favorite, subscribe and intro to your friends and your fellow authors! Peace out homies!
