@fevrals said: remind me to never get on your bad side.

a moment is taken to collect herself as the two perseus agents fall from the cliffside— their deaths a product of sneaking up on the two women. has their cover been blown? no sirens ring out in the distance, no shuffling from the warehouse below them— the coast is clear and a deep breath is exhaled in response. "remind me to never get on yours." spoken through a chuckle, her right hand is brought up to comb through her fiery hair— a rare moment of camaraderie.

this wasn't the time for friendship, though. friendship led to weakness, weakness led to vulnerability, and vulnerability led to a bullet in the back. (who protects you when you don't protect others, though? that leaves room for a conversation.)

her gaze is returned to the binoculars in her grasp, eyes peering through them as she surveys the outside of the warehouse once more. "our mark's still in there with the rest of the agents— no signs of any movement from here. i say we ambush them— bag 'em and tag 'em, head back to HQ, and we get some sleep before tomorrow."

@fevrals said: you do realize this plan has me walking into hell too, right?

"and you realize this isn't what my shore leave was supposed to entail, right?" anger gets the better of her, the pits of hells enclosing around them. all-in-all, raccoon city was a version of hell; an extremely grotesque and messed up variation of it where the dead walked with flesh between their teeth. it was a sight jane still hadn't gotten used to, adrenaline fueling her. no sleep, no coffee, no food— this would surely be a night to remember if they survived it.

their dynamic made for the start of a bad bar joke: a marine and a cop walk into a bar. jane stifles a laugh as the thought comes to mind, choosing to shake it off with the tightening her grip on her pistol. raccoon city was just another nightmare to add to the bunches that already loitered in her mind.

after all, she's commander shepard. she's survived worse.

holed up in a poorly-themed irish pub in downtown raccoon city, a deep breath is finally exhaled as the groans outside grow louder. "look, if you want to become a human happy meal for our friends out there, be my guest. you'll buy me enough time to get across town while they're gnawing on your corpse." it doesn't begin to tackle the other problem awaiting for them on the other side of the door— his stomps cause the ground to shake, dust from the ceiling to fall among them.

they need to work together as a team, whether they like it or not.

"you don't have to like my plan. i'm open to hearing my suggestions because, unlike you, i would like to survive to see another day of my vacation."

@seeasunset said: you sure as hell know how to make enemies…

she recognizes her methods may not be deemed as orthodox— jane has known this since the moment she took over as commanding officer of the normandy. with every passing day, the number of glances and murmurs by various members of the crew continue to increase every time she walks throughout the ship. (and that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of squadmates whispering something under their breath as soon as the smoke stops billowing from her pistol.

her methods may not be orthodox, but they get the job done. that's what counts at the end of the day— at least in her mind. all the dots connect and align that way.

"if your ear was pulled in as many directions as mine, you'd get it." evasive, shepard turns her back— eyes rolling as soon as her countenance isn't within his view. the sentence burrows itself beneath her skin but she doesn't show it, even if her tone speaks otherwise. "i can't save everyone, i can't help everyone, and i can't be everyone's savior. i'm only human— they can be as pissed as they want about it."

irony lingers on her tongue, words coming from the woman more machine than human.

@fatefault said: you sure as hell know how to make enemies…

a litter of krogan corpses surround their feet, a sight growing more accustomed over the months. the aftermath of their gunfight. the entrance to chora's den wasn't meant to become a slaughterhouse within five minutes of her arrival, but upset krogans and one wrong sentence led to bullets flying before she knew it.

maybe ivy was right— perhaps jane shepard knew how to make enemies. after all, she was commander shepard; trouble followed her wherever she went. however, she surmises that even on her best day, the normandy crew would beg to differ with that sentiment. she manages to find trouble wherever she goes, jane can hear them arguing.

"don't pin the blame on me— these guys were looking for a fight." a pause as her right boot gently kicks one of the bodies, her version of a double tap. always have to make sure they're not pretending. "not that they put up much of a fight." she mumbles under her breath before shaking her head. this was not her fault and she refused to believe otherwise.

so where does that leave ivy's remark? up in the air. jane doesn't dare attempt to decipher it because that'll open up a can of worms, one she's not interested in delving into today.

"besides, they're not actually enemies anymore."
