Fanfiction: Double Indemnity

Irridium Vault

Citadel Archives

Kaidan rubbed the bridge of his nose. He felt a migraine coming on. "Well, I guess that solves any lingering questions I had on whether or not I could tell if you were a clone."

Beside him, Shepard leaned against one of the display tables, her hands braced against the edge. "And what was the verdict, Spectre Alenko?"

"Heh. She's not even close."

One dark brow arched. "Oh, really?"

"Yeah. Cerberus sucks at cloning heart." Kaidan tapped one finger on her battered breastplate. "You have too much. She has none."

"Are you two gonna whisper lovey dovey stuff all the time we're trapped in here?" Wrex smirked.

Kaidan raised an eyebrow at the krogan. "Maybe. What are you gonna do about it?"

"Eh, if you want to spend your last hour of air kissing your wife, Alenko, I'm not gonna be the krogan to stop you. Congratulations on the mating, by the way." Wrex let out a basso profundo chuckle, his massive shoulders shaking. "'Bout damned time you two made it official. The rest of us figured it out long ago."

It was Shepard's turn to rub the bridge of her nose. "Oh, Maker. Please tell me there wasn't a betting pool."

Wrex looked as innocent as it was possible for a krogan to look. "Not saying there was, not saying there wasn't. But if there was, Joker won it."

"And he was going to make me pay for dinner?"

"And why were you going out for dinner with Joker in the first place?" Kaidan kissed her quickly. "Trying to make me jealous?"

"Please." She rolled her eyes."Like it would have worked."

"Mmmm. Maybe."

"Are you serious?"

His husky voice lowered to a baritone rumble. "I can be remarkably insecure."

Shepard's response was to grab hold of his chestplate and yank him down that critical inch for a kiss that about melted his armor down to the underlayer. When they separated, they were both breathing hard, and Kaidan looked half dazed, half ready to throw her onto the display table.

"Well," Wrex rumbled from across the vault, "There went half our air supply."

Shepard scowled at him. "Don't make me headbutt you, Wrex."

"Heh. Always knew you'd make a fine battle sister from the moment you tore a strip off me for killing that pyjak Fist. What human would dare yell at a krogan?" The old battlemaster clapped Shepard on the back, staggering her into Kaidan, who simply absorbed the impact by wrapping his arms around her a little more tightly. "Guess that makes me your brother in law, eh, Alenko?"

Kaidan looked thoughtful. "Guess it does, Wrex."

"Always knew you were part krogan." Wrex let out one of his basso profundo laughs. "Welcome to Clan Urdnot. Now, are we gonna bust out of here and fire that clone and Brooks out the airlock, or what?"

"Oh, yeah." Shepard's dark eyes narrowed. "Nobody steals my ship. Not even me. Glyph? You still out there?"

"Yes, commander." The drone's synthesized cheer was less tooth-grating than normal.

"Get us out of this vault and go spring the others. Somebody's got a date with the airlock."

Kaidan chuckled at her, nuzzling her hair. "You're sexy when you threaten people."

"Yeah, well, the things I'll do to get some time alone with you." Shepard kissed him quickly.

"Don't mind me," Wrex said mildly. "I'm just the eight hundred pound shadow in the corner."

"Did you say something, Wrex?" Kaidan raised an eyebrow at the male.

"Just promising to bring by a couple bags of ice when she's done with you. Trust me on this."
