Chapter 12: Truth Like Blood | Read on Ao3

20 December 2185, Serpent Nebula, Widow, Citadel

Kaidan’s ears ring as he delivers his report to the three people sitting around a small table in Admiral Anderson’s office, though he finds it easier to bear the scrutiny of Admiral Hackett than the hard stare of room’s third occupant.

He can’t look Hannah Shepard in the eye.

She sits so straight she doesn’t touch the back of her chair, clasped hands resting on the table, with a preternatural stillness her son didn’t inherit. But looking at her is like looking in a mirror at what Sam would – would have – looked like in a few decades.

Anderson fixates on his hands, with an expression that belongs at a funeral. Except he’s been to this funeral before. Hackett, however, gives Kaidan his rapt, unwavering attention. 

The entire time Kaidan speaks, he sticks to the facts. It’s a report, so he gives it. By the book. By the book is what he’s good at. Someone had to catch it every time Shepard threw it out, and his reflexes are good.

When he finishes, he rubs sweaty palms across his thighs under the table and nearly spills his glass of water when he tries to wet his dry throat.

Silence fills the room. Hackett is the first to break it.

“So it’s your conclusion that the person you encountered on Horizon is not Commander Sam Shepard.”

“No, sir. It isn't him.”

“I don’t understand,” Captain Shepard says with a scowl Kaidan has seen dozens, hundreds of times, on her son’s face. “He knew you. Your service history. Your squad. He was traveling with a former alien Normandy crew member who believed it was him.”

“Garrus Vakarian isn’t biotic,” Kaidan replies, fists clenching under the table. “He can’t feel what I feel.”

“His…biotic field,” she says with a skepticism that sets Kaidan’s teeth on edge.

Hackett leans back in his chair, hand to his chin. “Tell me more.”

Kaidan gladly turns his focus to Hackett. “Every biotic emits a field that other biotics can…sense in close proximity. It’s unique. Like a fingerprint. Put me in a blindfold and I could tell you when Commander Shepard entered and left a room. I know his field. The field on that biotic was one I’ve never felt before.”

The persistent knot that formed in Kaidan’s stomach on Horizon tightens when Hackett asks the question he’s staunchly refused to ask out loud. 

“Could something have altered it?” 

“Not…not that I’m aware of.” 

But what if something could? He shifts in his chair, and glances between the three of them.

“It isn’t him,” he repeats. Has to keep repeating it. It has to be the truth.

Hackett exhales. “We have reasons to believe that it is.”

Unnamed ME fic WIP

Summary: the fifteen hours after Eden Prime, from Kaidan’s POV.

a snippet from the first thing I’ve written in a while and my first exercise in trying to get into Kaidan’s head lol 🥲

The trek to the Normandy passes in silence. Kaidan trudges ahead, laser-focused on their destination. Ashley is flagging, the toll of the day finally catching up to her. Kaidan’s muscles ache, both from the exertion and the oncoming adrenaline crash. Shepard still hasn’t stirred. As they leave the spaceport behind, her weight on his back seems crushing. Guilt creeps in around the edges of his exhaustion, wiggling past his weakened defenses, despite his best efforts to tamp it down. One moment of carelessness has caused this— his inattention. The entire mission and Shepard’s life are in jeopardy.
