PROMPT GENERATOR Y U DO THIS 2 ME?

Valena / f!Cousland: "I couldn't"

Does the generator know my love for Valena? How she's basically a sister to my Elissa? Either one of them could be daring the other to do something absurd in the right circumstances that would lead to this situation. And I can't write it, because I could never narrow the ideas down to just ONE thing to work from.

You know what, that's it, I'm dead. Overwhelmed and my brain exploded. I can never fic again, for better or worse.

DA Prompt 2: Mass Effect AU

In which biotic Fenris meets his maker. 

Omega buzzed with activity, as only a city built by criminals could. Arguments and screams, the sounds of flesh smacking flesh, and gunfire filled the air without the slightest inclination of stopping. The noise was accompanied by the smell of stale air and smoke. It was truly a deplorable place.

Fenris hated it. He had vowed to never come to this sorry excuse of a colony. But today he made an exception.

Today he was going to kill him.

Fenris prowled the streets and alleyways, keeping his lithe form in the shadows as he made his way towards the point marked on his omni-tool. He was headed to a small warehouse in the residential district, typically used by the Blue Suns as a safe place to move their illicit products. But nowadays another mercenary group was using it. The Tevinters. And its leader Danarius would arrive there tonight to overlook the stock. Only it wouldn’t be guns or drugs. It would be flesh.

His skin began to prickle as he approached his destination. The typical sounds of desperation and violence that filled Omega’s air were beginning to fade. All his sensitive ears could hear was his own heartbeat quicken.

He would find that monster that believed himself to be man. Fenris would kill him.

Tonight.

Then maybe when entered his dreams he could find peace.

When he arrived Fenris’ eyes quickly swept over the warehouse, ascertaining how many guards he would have to go through to reach his mark. Only two were at the door. Both Batarian, and both very preoccupied with describing one of the Asari dancers at the Afterlife bar.

Two guards Fenris could deal with, even in his troubled sleep. 

Fenris activated the element zero nodules that had been etched across his body, an unwanted gift from Danarius to his little pet. When he had gathered the necessary energy needed, Fenris launched it at the two guards, who had only just realized what trouble they were in. The mass effect fields tore their fragile bodies apart in mere seconds.

Using another force of energy to blow the door back Fenris made his way into the warehouse. The place was small enough that Danarius was easy enough to find, cowering behind some boxes while his hired goons blocking him from Fenris’ advance.

“Look at me Danarius! Look at what you’ve made me!” he howled as he sliced the men down.

“Fenris… You asked for it! You wanted that power! You wanted it to serve me!”

“No.”

“Yes… please Fenris.”

Fenris had finally reached the man snivelling on the floor, his men’s corpses littered behind him.   

“If I hadn’t of broke through your control, you would have me do this dirty work for you. I would be your weapon,” he growled, eyes narrowing. “Your slave.”

Fenris raised his arm, glowing blue with biotic power and swung it, as hard as he could into Danarius’ skull, crushing it. The man crumpled to the ground with  a satisfying thud. Fenris had done it. He had ended the man who had caused him years of pain, anger, and resentment. He could finally find peace.

But what now?

Thud. Thud. Thud.

Fenris’ ears alerted him to the sounds of quickly approaching footsteps.

Who could have arrived so fast? More Mercenaries? Aria T’loak’s Omega enforcement squad? Could C-Sec have followed him here from the citadel?

  A total of three heavily armed humans had followed his trail of carnage and found him standing over the body of his previous master. The leader, a woman with short dark hair and bright blues eyes arched a brow at him.

“You took out all these mercenaries and the slaver?”

“Yes,” he replied coolly. There seemed little to point in denying the issue. All the evidence was in front of them, and on the walls, and some on the ceiling.

“You used only biotics.” It was not a question, but a statement.

“Yes.”

She chewed the bottom of her lip evidently pondering what to do about the situation before her. The man to her right with the blonde hair at the light scruff was grumbling, “Now what are we going to tell the brass. Whoops, sorry some crazy biotic madman got her before us and killed Danarius. Guess we were a little late to the party. Bit of an embarrassment, really”

“We had orders to stop Danarius anyways, now at least we don’t have to get our hands dirty,” reasoned a woman with long red hair and lightly freckled skin.

“What do we do now Commander Hawke?” the blonde asked.

Her cool blue eyes sized Fenris up, calculating.

“I need people on a potentially dangerous but important mission. Your biotics... Could be useful. Would you be interested?”

The Commander’s two companions erupted behind her in protest, but she had ignored them. Instead her eyes gazed into his looking for an answer. For a commitment.

“I… have nothing else to do.”

She smiled.

“Perfect. Report to the Normandy on Deck 2.”

What would he do now, indeed.
