Tavi dodged people through the bar to follow Lily, ducking under high arms and darting to the side to avoid drunken stumbling. Stressful times called for desperate measures, it seemed, and in this case that desperate measure was way more alcohol than he thought they even brought to the Andromeda galaxy.
When he came to her side, he was practically ready to bounce in place. “I haven’t had anything to drink, well you know, nothing that was good, since I got defrosted.”  He snatched up the glass in both hands. “You buy this one, I’ll buy the next one?  I do got some creds.”
She laughed at his enthusiasm, clinked her glass against his, and said, “You’ve got a deal. Cheers.” But even as she raised the glass to her lips, her attention was drawn elsewhere. Two turians and an asari were sharing a table, their heads leaned in over the table, and beneath it... gun.
Lily reacted, hefting her drink across the bar with perfect aim. It crashed into one turian’s head and shattered, and in his recoil, the turian collided with the asari. She stumbled out of her chair, flailing to maintain her balance, and exposing her gun. By then, Lily was halfway across the bar towards the little group. She vaulted a human, bent over at the waist, used him as a springboard, aided by her biotics, to land her on the nearest table, and from there, she jumped into the midst of the trio. A biotic blast to the face knocked one turian senseless to the ground, her foot connected with the second turian’s jaw, and sent him to the ground as well. Her left hand closed around the asari’s gun. She spun, wrenching the gun free of the asari’s hand, and brought it back around, connecting solidly with the asari’s crest. She fell with a cry of pain, and Lily clamped a small cuff around her wrist. Then, she turned the gun on her.
“This establishment is gun free, Tesa T’Velas,” she said quietly. “And you shouldn’t be here. Neither should your thugs. Or did you think we didn’t keep records of who got exiled?”
Still holding the gun on T’Velas, she tapped her omni-tool, waited a moment, and said, “Kandros. Rose. Need backup at Vortex. Armed escort for Tesa T’Velas and her thugs.”
There was a subtle, shifting feeling, and Lily grinned, waited. Abruptly, the asari shrieked, clamped her free hand down on the cuff.
“What the hell have you done to me?”
“Biotic inhibitor,” Lily answered lightly. “It’ll be removed when you’re off the station.” She nodded to the Nexus security agents as they hefted the turian pair up and carried them out, nodded again to Kandros as he came in person to escort Tesa T’Velas. He nodded in return, and was gone. With the excitement over, the other patrons in Vortex returned to their drinks, with the occasional cautious glance toward Lily.
“Sorry about that,” she said, rejoining Tavi at the bar. “We shouldn’t be interrupted like that again.” She frowned slightly. “And I’m going to need another-”
Before she even finished her sentence, a fresh drink was placed in front of her. She grinned across the bar at Anan, who winked in reply. “That’s that sorted,” she said brightly.
