How could you brotray me [ACTION | CLOSED]

[reachnotflexibility]

[Garrus knew things were rough in Genessia City right now, but he didn’t think they were so bad that Mercury should look like absolute shit. Added to that, the man has barely acknowledged anyone beyond a glare all day. It doesn’t take his experience at C-Sec to tell him that something is wrong, so he does some digging and, well, what he finds ain’t pretty.

He was changing. Schnee had assured him of it. And yet he had just up and attacked some civs in Attleton, even though he was supposed to be in Genessia wrecking some monsters. And now he’s Garrus’ problem.

He wants to rip into him, equals or not, but he remembers what Weiss had told him about “being compassionate” and “second chances” and that bull, but damn if he wasn’t a turian of his word. So instead of assaulting the man, he’s going to hear him out.

Wouldn’t Shepard be proud.

He looks over his desk at Mercury, a stern look on his face.]

Black. We need to talk.

[ He knew it was a matter of time. Garrus was too diligent to let things slide, and in Mercury's case it was a hell of an event that had led to his brief absence, his wounded return, his deathly silence. Of course the turian would call him out on it eventually. He's not surprised when it happens.

Sure as hell isn't thrilled, though, and the look he shoots back at his co-guardian is anything but friendly. ]

My ears are working fine. What is it?

[ Like he doesn't already know. ]

[Oh, so that's how he wants to play it, huh?]

We agreed that one of us should go help out in Genessia City and that you were better suited for it between the two of us. And yet I have a report saying that you were admitted to Attleton Hospital, not Genessia City. Care to explain?

[sarcaskick]

[ No, he wouldn't care to explain, but he also knows there's no way to get out of at least offering some information. ]

A monster knocked me through the gateway to Attleton. Things got rough, I got injured. What difference does it make?

[reachnotflexibility]

The difference is that I didn't know that you were injured so badly that you had to be hospitalized! [There's a growl to his voice; he mad.] Damn it, Black, we're supposed to be a team. How are we supposed to work together if you keep things from me? If you had told me things were that bad over there, I could have sent someone over there to help out and then maybe you wouldn't have landed yourself in a hospital bed, but no, you had to be the damn hero, didn't you?

If that's how you plan on doing things around here then maybe you shouldn't be a Guardian. It's our job to protect people and you can't do that if you're dead.
