Title: Daughter of the Sky, Hero of the Galaxy
Summery: Shepard never cared much about her father. She was just trying to survive. Learning he was a god? Well… she just had to wonder why on Earth she had to live like she did.
Getting your nose broken is never fun. Especially when a biotic rush is added behind it.
"Fuck!" swore Shepard, breathing in deep through her nose. "Mother fucker!" she shouted, slamming her own tiny fist out, catching the older boy in the stomach. She was grabbed by the guy behind her, and her hands were held behind her back.
"Look bitch," snarled the guy holding her. "Just join our damn crew and maybe we'll take it easy on you." Shepard snarled, and tried to get out of his grip, before the guy punched her again, this time in the gut. "Bitch?"
"Go fuck a Turian!" snarled the girl, baring her teeth, her blue eyes flashing. She was socked again, and she choked out a scream, electricity racing along her arms, shocking the asshole holding her. He let her go and she bolted, running as fast as she could towards the tourist district. The guys chased her, yelling at her. She ignored him.
Shepard was a tiny twelve year old. Most street kids were on Earth. If she was on the Citadel it would probably be easier to steal what she could. But she was on Earth, and after the seventh kid got killed stowing away on a ship, they'd started cracking down on security.
Not that she wanted to leave Earth. She had a good thing going… or she did before the Tenth Street Reds caught her using her electricity trick. See, biotics were rare, and having a cool skill like that boosted a gang's cred. So, the Reds sent a guy. She told him to fuck off, and then electrocuted him.
Now they still are fucking after her. Not like her biotic powers were any good. Sure, lightning! But that's all she could do. Not like lift or anything. And she only used it to trick credit chits man!
Shepard grinned, seeing the district up closer. No one wanted to start anything in the district. Too many cops, and to many aliens. Cops were one thing, but aliens?
Yeah, she still laughed remembering the time that asshole got grabbed by a fucking Krogan and held upside down for a few hours. HA!
"Aw, shit." Snarled the guys. "CAN'T RUN FOREVER SHEPARD!"
"YEAH I FUCKING CAN!" she shouted back as she ducked into the district, startling an Asari woman. She was wearing a long purple dress that spilt at the waist, black pants underneath and a pair of knee high combat boots. "Sorry! Gang members want me to join, I don't, blah-blah!"
"…I see." The blue skinned woman said. Shepard saluted her cheekily and then bounced through the district. She idly eyed a fruit stand, looking longingly at some strawberries. Probably shipped from Eden Prime, they never grew on Earth anymore.
She loved strawberries- her mom used to buy them and they would eat them together…
Shepard shook her head, and continued her stroll, looking around for someone to steal a credit chit from. As she walked, she noticed a group of kids decked out in orange shirts with a human male in a hover-chair looking like her was leading them. The guy in the chair had a tweed jacket and a tidy little beard.
What was weird though was the Krogan wearing the orange shirt, standing next to a Turian and a Salarian, and not ripping them apart. Wack.
Shepard slid over to them, to curious for her own good.
"Alright," said the chair dude. "Felix, don't let Targun get into another fight." A human boy groaned as the Krogan chuckled darkly. "Now, Athens is an important part of Greek history, so those who want to learn something, follow me. And those who want to wander off… just be back at the hotel by eight."
"Yes Chiron." Chorused the group. Shepard hummed, interested in what was going on. Some kind of camp or something? The Krogan looked youngish. She began to stalk the group with the Krogan in curiosity.
"So… you going through the Rite when you get back to Tachunku?" asked Felix- a burly boy with blonde hair and grey eyes. Targun- the krogan- shrugged.
"Probably. I know mum is going to be watching me, but it's going to still be a bitch. Wish I could have my krantt." He bumped Felix playfully, who stumbled. "I didn't push you that hard."
"Asshole." Muttered the human. A female human with dark hair and an angular face grinned, her eyes flashing with a war like gaze.
"Wish we could help Targun! But I doubt that dick would let us." Pouted the girl.
"Don't worry Jamie, I'm just doing the rite then leaving right after." Laughed the Krogran. The three went on for a while, and Shepard got bored. So she skipped out, checking around to make sure the Reds weren't around before she booked it home.
Home was an abandoned clothing shop. It was also the home of another group of kids who didn't bother her as long as she didn't bother them.
She sighed, entering the place, and seeing a Red waiting for her, the others having booked it. No one wanted to be in a gang without any other choice. This Red was odd though- extremely burly with a bit of a bullish face.
"I said fuck off." She told him. "This is Blue Boy's territory anyway."
"I was just curious about that lightning trick." He said gruffly. She snorted, and her hands lit up.
"How about I give you a taste then?" he grinned, and suddenly he wasn't… human anymore. His face melted into a bull face, his body building up and horns appearing on his head. "WHAT THE FUCK!?" she shouted.
It- the bull dude- charged, and she dodged. He crashed through the wall, and into another building. Shepard's fight or flight instincts kicked in, and she booked it away from the place- the fucking thing following her.
"FUCK!" She ran, trying to think what the hell was going on. It didn't make sense… a bull-headed dude? It sounded familiar… but she couldn't place it as she jumped over a cleaning robot that got trampled.
She ducked down an alley, only to curse. Dead end.
A low noise made her turn slowly to face the bull, who sniffed the air. She took a breath, and then her hands lit up again.
If she was dying, she was taking this thing with her.
"OI! BEEF HEAD!" she shouted at it. "Want some motherfucker? Well come and get some." It charged then, and she charged to, throwing her hands out, and a bolt flew at it, striking it right on the head. It was thrown back with a roar and she jumped.
It felt like the wind grabbed her and lifted her higher into the sky, though she didn't notice. Instead she focused hard and the sky turned black.
"I AM NOT LOSING TO YOU!" she screamed before she began to fall back to Earth, her hands alight with electricity.
She landed on her attacker, and it burned with a howl. She held on even as it tried to rip her off, lightning alighting the alleyway.
It managed to get a good grip on her, and she was thrown into the wall. She cursed, feeling a bone crack. It looked at her as she struggled up. She glared at it, even as she dimly heard someone running to the alley.
"Fuck you." She hissed before she charged once more, lightning obeying her command as the sky boomed.
It struck the thing once more just as the group she had been tailing earlier came into the alley.
It burned, screaming. She stood, staring at the burned remains.
"…Holy shit." Said the girl as Shepard's knees gave out and she fell forward. She landed hard, her eyes rolling up.
"Targun! Get Chiron!" ordered Felix as Shepard began to lose consciousness. "I think we found a demigod."
"No, you think?" asked the girl just as Shepard blacked out.
HAPPY N7 DAY! To celebrate- have a crossover!
This has been in my head for a while. The idea of Shepard being a demigod is awesome, and I had to write it.
I hope to write three different Shepards, all the daughters of the Big Three. (Yes, femshep- femshep is queen.) All will have different personality profiles, and pre-service history. I might also write random one-shots about other Shepards… don't know yet.
Hope you enjoy!
