Armax Arena

A short skycar trip later and Ashley was outside the arena.

Her beinng number 5 was still showing, as was Shepard at number 1.

"Skipper. Time to be dethroned." She smirked.

She went in and started to go down the stairs when a voice called.

"Ashley."

"Liara? What are you doing here?"

"Watching." She pointed to the observation deck.

They walked over and Ashley saw Shepard down below. Ranking up the points.

"Isnt she supposed to be in the hospital?"

"They cleared her yesterday. I had to practically tie her to the bed just to rest. She agreed not to fight if I let her come here to burn off some pent up aggression."

"Well keep me in a coma for two months then in recovering for two more and Id be the same way."

"That's why you're here correct?"

"Still have a desire to shoot Cerberus people."

The timer ended and Shepard once again had the highest score. Even still sore and with new scars she was the definition of a badass.

"Shepard is still the pinnacle of a solider." Another voice said.

"EDI?"

"Hello Lieutenant Commander."

"No Joker?"

"Jeff is overseeing the repairs on the Normandy. He say he will be there if another, clone attempts to steal it."

"God I hope not." Shepard came up to them. "Once was enough."

"Looking good Skipper."

"A few more scars but Im not trapped in a bed anymore so Ill take it."

"The scars add to your character." Liara teased.

"I believe Liara finds your scars attractive Shepard." EDI pointed out.

"I figured that out myself, thanks though." She looked at Ashley. "So what brings you out here Ash?"

"Here to take your spot Skipper." Ashley smirked.

"Oh bring it Ash."

Ashley walked down to the arena. She had a point to prove.

"Shepard."Liara leaned in a whispered. "Should we have some fun with her?"

Shepard smirked back. "What do you have in mind?"

Liara whispered more and Jane grinned the whole time.
