Free For All
Whoops! I so thought I posted yesterday! My apologies!
Have a free for all day. You all know the rules! I'm still sorting out modding, but I'm almost there. I do need more codemonkeys, so please shoot me a PM if you'd like to help.
Have fun!

He took a deep breath before quickly finishing off his earlier drink then handing over one of the new drinks to Jack. “Thanks for bringing this my attention, Jack,” he said before heading downstairs.
The use of her name startled her, and Jack glared after him. She slammed back the drink, tossed the glass behind the bar and ignored the angry shout from the bartender as the glass shattered, then stalked down the stairs. Anyone who knows her name could not be good news, and Jack had no time for that kind of bullshit.
When she reached the table she had left hardly fifteen minutes ago, Jack stared hard at the man who sat close to Shepard, who was looking pretty sheepish for a commander of the Normandy. “How the fuck do you know my name, and who the fuck are you?” Jack asked angrily.
Shepard's head snapped up; he apparently had not noticed her return, even though she was probably glowing blue a bit from her biotics charging up from anger. “Jack, this is Kaidan Alenko. He's-”
“The fucker who dissed you on Horizon,” Jack replied with a glare in Kaidan's direction. “I heard about it, since people never knew how to shut the fuck up on the Normandy.”
Kaidan frowned, guilt clear on his face. “Not my best moment,” he said quietly. “We've gotten passed it, though.”
Before Jack could interject with another caustic remark or perhaps an off-color description of how broken up Shepard was after visiting that colony and seeing Kaidan, Shepard stood up, putting himself between them. “Jack, we're good. He's been on the Normandy with me for months.”
Jack's biotic glow faded while her scowl only softened ever so slightly then she looked between the two men before smacking Shepard upside the head. “If he's been on the ship for months and you're not hung up on Horizon bullshit, why haven't you fucking hit that? What the fuck does it take?”
Shepard made choked sound as Kaidan coughed to cover up a laugh. “That could have made things very awkward...”
Jack snorted in response. “Oh, like having me telling you two to find a dark corner and get fucking already isn't more awkward?”
Shepard choked again, burying his face in hands. “Jack!”
She just laughed before turning to Kaidan. “Pretty boy, get him back to the Normandy before he fucking pops a blood vessel. Give him a good fuck. I mean, what else is that fucking posh room of his for?”
Kaidan seemed as uncomfortable with her suggestions as Shepard, but at least he wasn't muttering that this wasn't happening. “I'll...take your advice under advisement,” Kaidan replied as he stood up and nudged Shepard. “C'mon, Shepard. I know you're not a big fan of crowds either.”
“Kaidan...” Shepard began, but Jack gave him a shove before he could say anything stupid.
“Just go already. I can't get laid with you two love birds fucking around here,” she stated with an air of authority or something like it.
“Nice meeting you too, Jack,” Kaidan said then whispered something in Shepard's ear.
Shepard hesitated for a moment before grinning a bit. “Yeah, you're right.” He paused then looked over to Jack. “Good to see you again, Jack.”
Jack waved him off dismissively. “You're still here. What did I just say?”
With that, the two men left, shoulder to shoulder and hands brushing with each other's with each step. Jack smiled a bit at the scene before shaking her head and scowling. Cute shit wasn't her thing, and those two were just past cute and into adorable territory.
“Fuck that shit,” she muttered as she headed back to the upper level of the club to get a drink and maybe see if that dude she had seen dancing earlier was up for a quick fuck in the shadows.
