Been playing Mass Effect for the first time (I’m behind the ball, I get it) since New Years and naturally I have thots. Little snippet of Athena and Ares Shepard dealing with arguable the worst part of the first game: the fucking Mako. This might eventually become a full-fledged fic if there’s interest, but if it does, I refuse to let Nihlus die because we deserve more sexy turian voices.
“Athy, for the love of fuck, hold it steady!”
“Have you fucking tried steering this piece of shit?” Thena screamed back, her usually sweet tone closer to a snarl as she glared at her brother. “All I have to do is breathe wrong and it jerks the opposite direction!”
Watching the twins bicker mid-battle would normally give Nihlus and Garrus reason to be concerned, but it's oddly comforting as they haphazardly circle the thresher maw none of them expected to deal with today. If they can be at each other's throats, then they felt confident they weren't about to die horrible deaths.
It's when they're silent that the squad should be concerned. The Shepard twins didn’t do silence.
“Nihlus, Garrus, don't stop shooting. If my dear sister gets her shit together, I'll man the cannon.” Ari punctuated the order with a direct hit to the maw's open mouth, it's shriek deafening as Thena controls the Mako's persistent need to skid through the sand.
“Vakarian, don't you dare give me shit for whatever happens to the undercarriage!” Thena grunted as she adjusted gears and picked up spead coming out of a particularly nasty drift. Garrus snorted, his eyes never leaving his scope.
“I wouldn't dare.” He fired his rifle, taking out one of the tentacles. “I think I speak for everyone on the Normandy when I say, we'd rather put you at the wheel than your brother. The odds of revisiting our meals on the floor of the Mako drop dramatically.”
“I can still fucking hear you, Vakarian.”
“If you can hear him, then you aren't focusing on killing the thing actively making our lives hell, Ari!”
“I'M WORKING ON IT, OKAY?”
“WORK FUCKING HARDER, ARES.”
