Moving Along
Death, war, and destruction that is all he sees. Shepard’s mind is flooded with images with those descriptions. His body has shut down with only his mind working to its limit. Kaidan carried him as single handedly as the group enters the Normandy. Right away Kaidan heads to the med bay.
“Jax!” Anderson’s voice booms throughout the cargo bay. The biotic flinches at the commanding tone. “What’s going on? Where’s Nihlus? What happened to be beacon?” He pauses for a second as he notices Ashley. “Where’s Jenkins?”
“Dead. They’re both dead.

The mission was simple. Look for the beacon. Bring it to the Normandy. Deliver to the Citadel. Along with helping or finding survivors, but the mission came first. Yet nothing in life goes at plan. The strike team landed and was ready to start their mission. Shepard was the leader with Jenkins and Kaidan as the muscle. Jax’s role was of the medic, but was going to be a sort of scavenger and engineer.

It’s just another day in Vancouver. Men and women travel on foot, car, or bus to get to work in the morning. Yet there is one man stands out. Or at least is interesting enough to be noticed.

Fingers glide along holographic screens. The room is dark and a masked man sits alone. Behind the dark reflective mask are eyes that dart back and forth.

Situations All Around
Shepard and I knew it was only a matter of time until Kahlee and Anderson saw the video. However, we didn’t except them to find out almost immediately. Things tend to go against us and media seems to be one of them. Other times it’s just gossip that spreads like wildfires that parents hear and makes its way to our parents. Really we have the worst of luck, but we know how to turn it around to our advantage. Most of the time.

Purgatory High School Ch. 1 (Redone)
Welcome to…
The name’s Jax, Jaxerious Shepard if you prefer the full name, but if you were expecting Shepard you are horribly mistaken. My older more brooding brother could care less for telling his tale, or any bit of him for any fact. We’re opposites. He’s direct, hot headed, and very blunt, but highly precise. Also strong, but that’s pretty obvious from his mean look on his face that is always present. I think he probably would make it to the N7 program if he wanted to. However, I’m the opposite. I look for alternative options and open minded. I’m smart, but no Einstein. Like I said before I
Mission Priority: Eden Prime
March has started and Jax has spent about three weeks, or so, on the Normandy. The crew has increasingly started to accept him. Even Joker became good friends with Jax. Although he generally spends his time in engineering or medical after Shepard and Kaidan return from a mission. Jenkins generally goes with them, but Shepard is angry after his last stunt in combat.

The Beginning
The final hour before the Normandy’s departure. It shines bright from the morning sun and is in top condition. It even got a paint job for the letters. Jax watches from a distance as crew member after crew member travels to the airlock to enter the CIC. A few people travel in packs cheering in joy while others wave goodbye to family members. Occasionally he gets up to look over up at the sky. Full of flying cars and oncoming and outgoing ships. At first he felt lonely, but smiled as he activated his Omni tool.

Three shots are fired in the shooting range. In the distance the target has three burn marks in the head region and all near in the same spot. The other target next to the one is similar except the shots are more spread out. Jax pulls back the heavy pistol at the same time as Shepard.
“It’s heavier than I thought it’d be.” Jax shouts over the other shots being fired. Shepard looks at the pistol and shrugs. They exit to the next room where it is quieter.
“Not bad, Jax. Almost as good as me, but you missed one shot.”

The next few days the Normandy crew continued to stay in Vancouver while more repairs were made to the Normandy. Anderson and Shepard stress over the total damage done, but regard it as they remind themselves of who they saved.

Bio? Pfft... I'm an open book. I write stuff, (try to) make friends, and have human needs. I post The Shepards and Purgatory High School here aswell - archiveofourown.org/users/Vf_B…
Yay I got a new laptop! My old one died and I was stalled from writing anything for a while, but now I can get back to it. I'll try to write new chapters soon.
The Shepards has been coming along nicely, but a few of my other stories not so much. I'm heavily considering restarting Purgatory High School. I know what to write and how to set out the plot, but I can't seem to write anything down. Blind Magic might also need some tweaking, but I considered that before posting the third chapter. Let me just say things seem to escalate a little too quickly.
Anyway just want to say thank you all for the support and hope you like the upcoming chapters of 'The Shepards'
EDIT: I put up a poll, but at the time didn't realize it was premium only. So I was kind of goofed by the 'free' premium day and it got take
