AU Kaidan | Spoilers for ME3 possible?

[virmires_ashes]

You know, I've only been alive consciously for a couple months now... still can't believe it's been three years since I died on Virmire.

People say a lot can happen in a year. Well I missed three.

And they weren't wrong. People I thought I knew changed. The people I shouldn't be trusting are the ones trying to save the damn universe from the reapers now and-- even though I know I have to stop Shepard, for Earth, for everyone, still doesn't make it hurt any less.


(ooc: As the subject says this is an AU'd Kaidan, something I'm trying out. A brief run down of his AU is on his profile. Apologies for the lack of icons, still making more ;-;)

[Don't mind if Kaidan joins the party, pistol pulled out, aimed at Shepard. He won't look at all pleased to be pointing the gun at her.

But you are currently threatening an associate of his. As much as he has no love for Kai Leng.]

Shepard. Stand down.

/whines

[kaileng]

[Leng, on the other hand, looks quite smug about the situation.]

You heard the man.

/sulks

[thegreyhound]

[Son of a motherfrelling bitch. Shepard pauses for a moment. But... well... fine. But she'll try to pistol-whip Kai Leng before lowering her gun.]

This guy tried to kill the Council, Kaidan. He killed Thane and Miranda. Let me put him out of his misery.

/tosses a few treats

[virmires_ashes]

[Kaidan doesn't move or make to attack Shepard, if only because he assumes Kai Leng will dodge the attack. The man is annoyingly nimble.]

We're only doing the reapers a favor if we keep killing each other off.

[Besides the fact that he had no idea what you were talking about. He knew of Miranda. She had worked for Cerberus previously, been one of the best operatives they'd had. Thane had been an assassin that worked with Shepard to fight the collectors.

Had Kai Leng really killed them? And the Council... his fingers tighter around his pistol, he doesn't like this, but still. He won't falter yet.]

/steals them all nomnomnom

[kaileng]

[And Kaidan wouldn't be wrong; Leng throws himself forward in time with Shepard's movements, just narrowly avoiding the butt of her gun. Once he collects himself, he stands and tilts his head back.]

Necessary casualties in order to complete the mission. [He walks a few paces to the left, twirling the ninjato in his hand. He's ignoring Kaidan's words for now, focusing on Shepard instead.] Though I won't say I didn't enjoy it. They had it coming.

/swears treat-related revenge!

[thegreyhound]

[Shepard just glances over at Kaidan with an unreadable expression on her face. It's the same poker face she used to wear whenever she was resisting the urge to just snap and kill whatever was frustrating her. Then she turns back to Kai Leng, her voice going cold and flat.]

Thane died to save the Council. Miranda died to save her sister and shut down Sanctuary. They were doing the right thing. You might have been N7 once, but you forgot what that honor means.

And you'll be just one more monster in the history books.

OOPS MESSING UP POSTING ORDER

[kaileng]

[By the change in her demeanor, it's obvious that he's gotten under her skin. Good.]

Lawson was nothing more than a traitor to our cause. [There's an emphasis on 'our', a brief glance over to Kaidan. The best way to get to Shepard is through her companions. Even former ones.] She held sensitive information and had to be terminated.

[The pacing starts up again, eyes on Shepard.]

As for history, you seem to forget that it's shaped by its victors.
