Archangel and the Siren

After taking care of the gunship and Cathka, Arina and her squad headed out with the freelancers."That should helps us later..." She said discreetly, earning a silent nod of agreement from Jacob. Mordin was silent, but she didn't feel any judging from him. He had killed mercs himself before.

Pulling out her gun, Arina applied the incendiary ammo. "Don't shoot at Archangel and the Siren and wait until I give the order to start shooting the freelancers. Got it?" With that, they charged into the fray. 

As the ran closer to the base, Arina looked up at the two figures on the top floor of the building. She saw them firing at her, causing her to take cover. "Damnit! Jacob, Mordin! If the Illusive Man is right, Archangel and Siren are both expert snipers."

"Got it, Commander!"

Peeking from her cover, she saw the snipers' attentions were moved from her. She ran from her cover and raced forward. A freelancer was starting to make his way up the stairs ahead of the others. You're not taking my snipers! She thought, before killing the freelancer with a head-shot.

"THEY'RE WITH ARCHANGEL AND SIREN!"

"Guess that's our cue, Mordin!"

"Indeed!" Jacob and Mordin followed her lead.

Down the freelancers went and once the last one was dead, Arina ran up the stairs, two at a time. Her lavender eyes narrowed when she saw two of the infiltration team trying to break into the room where Archangel and the Siren were held up at. With two easy shots, the men didn't stand a chance.

"Now, how're we going to get in-" Jacob began, only to be cut off by the door lock turning green.

The three exchanged a look. "Be ready for anything." She ordered, keeping a grip on her gun as they walked through the door. 

Two figures were standing there, both fully armored, wearing their helmets. One was obviously a turian by his black and blue armor, which looked similar to the armor the C-Sec officers wore. The other was a female, most likely human, in a blue armor. When the female moved, she caught a glimpse of the N7 on the armor, the same emblem that matched her armor.

Her lavender eyes went wide.

Siren stood next to Archangel, watching the freelancers through her sniper rifle. She had already taken note of Arina. No one could ever miss her. When she did take notice, she informed Archangel, nudging his shoulder with her elbow before handing him her sniper. He looked and gave the sniper rifle back to Siren, nodding at her. And that was when she aimed a little bit away from Arina. Shooting the gun, letting the bullet fly right past her. She knew why she was here, but she couldn't let anyone else know that. Right now she needed to let everyone else think she was an enemy as well. A chuckle left her lips as she watch Arina take a double look at the bullet hole on the wall behind her.

Siren wanted to shoot another one, but that would've over done it. But before she removed her eyesight from her, she watched as one of the blue suns decided to poke their heads out to fire at them. She wasted no time and shot at the man, killing him instantly. "Another one down." She said.


With that she lowered her gun and reloaded it quickly. That was when she heard everyone telling the freelancers to go, causing her head to poke out from cover. She watched as freelancers walked onto their base. Eyes narrowed underneath the helmet as she came out of cover and shot at the same time with Archangel. Taking out two freelancers at once. They quickly reloaded and shot once more, killing two more people. After reloading once more they aimed at Arina and shot at her. But they did not hit her, if they did, they would do only a little bit of harm. They didn't want to kill her. But they needed to keep her safe.

A smirk formed when she heard Arina talking about they were expert snipers. Without thinking twice, Siren shot another bullet at her, wanting to make her move. Come on and get your ass over here. Siren thought to herself.

It wasn't long until the freelancers found out they weren't working with them. Though Siren's attention was taken away when she heard someone trying to get through the door. Eyes narrowed as her whole body glowed blue, ready to take on whoever was coming in with her biotics. But she then heard a fight ending with a bullet. Which meant that Arina had taken them down. Siren looked at Archangel, she nodded at him and opened the door for them.

Arina came in with her team, guns pointed at them. Archangel and Siren did not hesitate, all they did was walk towards them, taking their helmets off as they did. Archangel sat down, his leg resting on the arm of the sofa, holding his gun as he did. Siren walked next to him, laying her left elbow on his shoulder as she held her gun. Her right hand on her hip. Glowing green eyes stared at Arina with a smirk.

"Shepard." Garrus said.

"Hey sis," Vulpe said as her smirked widened, "Long time no see, thought you were dead." She stated.

"Vulpe! Garrus!" A big smile came over Arina's features as she moved over to the two of them, with Jacob and Mordin lowering their guns as she did so. She hugged the blonde woman, feeling her instantly tense at her hug. "Quit complaining... You got a new hair style?" She mumbled to her sister, after noticing the new hair style. Turning to both of them, she smiled. "What the hell are you two doing here?"

"Just keeping our skills sharp. A little target practice. It's good to see you too, Shepard."

Arina smirked and moved over to him, punching him lightly in the arm. "You know you can call me Arina, Gar."

"Hm, you haven't changed. But, it sure is good to see friendly face." His voice was tired and his body language was showing fatigue.

Arina's smirk dropped. "You two okay?" She asked, looking at both him and Vulpe, seeing how tired they both were.

"Yeah, killing mercs is haaard work."

"Hmph, I'll say, how did you two manage to piss off every major merc organization in the Terminus Systems?" She gave them two looks that showed she wasn't completely surprised that they would. "And when did you two start calling yourselves "Archangel" and "the Siren"? I thought you would have been on the Citadel, Garrus. Though..." She started, as she turned to Vulpe again. "I didn't know what to think happened with you... Joker says you vanished off the radar..."

Jacob and Mordin moved over to the side, keeping an eye on the bridge. "Didn't think we would run into the other Commander Shepard... Hmph, wonder what Miranda's gonna think." He said under his breath with a small smirk.

When Arina gave her a hug, Vulpe tensed a little bit. Not liking hugs very much.. There were only a few hugs that she did like, and they were always sexual. But even with hesitation, she gave her a hug back. It wasn't a great one, but it was a good effort. And then her sister had to point out her hair. Last time she saw her, her blonde hair was long. Now it was cut short with some strands falling in front of her face. "Yeah I did, but it seems you did a few changes to yours." Vulpe said, commenting on her hair as well. And then Arina asked what they were doing here, and that was when Vulpe let Garrus answer questions.

She couldn't help but smirk at Arina's question about how they pissed off every merc. "It wasn't easy, Arina, we reaally had to work for it." She said, her smirk growing. Obviously there was something she was not telling her sister, but it couldn't be said out in the open. Especially when the mercs could come in at any second. But before she could think of it any longer, her dear little sister asked more questions. And she wasn't exactly in the mood to answer them, but she was going to anyway. "Not exactly our choice, everyone just started to call us that. We still don't know." She shrugged.

Vulpe looked at Garrus when Arina stated how she thought he'd be at the Citadel.

"I would've been, but some things got in the way and I had to sort them out." He said in his usual cocky voice.

Vulpe smirked at his reply and how he was trying so hard to keep himself from sounding tired. They both were. The smirk faded when Arina spoke to her though. Green eyes studied her sister's expression. Again, something she couldn't talk about in public. "Had to, I'll tell you more later, or whenever I feel like it. But let's go back to you, how are you alive?" She asked even though she knew the answer, but she wanted to hear it from her sister.
