[And this is where all of our planning comes into play, guys!

Quick rundown:

-Isolde will be freaking out, so Atton will need to take care of her.
-Jack will go crazy and need to be restrained by Bethany, who will remind everyone not to kill Bellatrix.
-Garrus swoops in to rescue Amy while
-Anders engages Bellatrix in combat, who is then joined by Jack, until Garrus finally swoops in again with a concussive shot.]

[There is no brief second of confusion and wondering what has just happened. She doesn't even need to see it to know what's happening, but she does. It fills her mind up, the image, the feeling, and as Lily dies, part of Isolde does too. It's a harsh tug inside of her, and she can't remember the last time she's felt this. Not at first.

Her legs shake, and she tumbles to her knees, falls onto her hands, and she remembers.

Malachor V.

It's not as severe, not as violent, but she's closer to Lily. Completely bonded.

Bao-Dur, Kreia.

Tears stream down her face as she screams in silence, wordless, noiseless. They can't understand it, the tearing of her own soul, the disappearance of the Force inside of her. Nearby, a wall caves in.]

[He feels the echo of the girl dying, the way his mind and soul are entwined with Isolde's making it impossible not to. It's a pale shade of what she's feeling, though, and if he's honest the fate of the girl isn't something he really cares about. She'll be back in a week, whatever.

His first concern, always, is Isolde.

Whatever happens around them, he ignores, dropping to his knees next to the Exile and tugging her to him, wrapping her in his arms and cradling her head to his chest] Hey. I'm here. [He opens himself to her through the Force, willing to give her whatever she needs] I'm here.

[Isolde doesn't want to be touched. It feels like shattered glass, but she can't bring herself to resist or push away from Atton. All she can do is whimper pitifully and pull herself back together, to take in the death, while resting against him.

This is her fault, she realizes. She keeps letting herself bond with others. She didn't stop Lily's plan.

She didn't stop Lily from dying, and even though there's a part of her the beats with the knowledge that Lily will be back, the severed connection is too painful when she has so few of them here.]

Hey. [Words have never exactly been his forte, and they all but fail him here. He doesn't know how to make this better for her. He doesn't know if it can be made better, period] This is not your fault. The crazy scow is the one who did it, and the girl is the one who decided to risk her life. It was worth it to her.

I'm lost. [They're the only words that she can manage, but they say a lot. But she's not alone this time, she remembers, and her fingers curl into Atton's shirt.]

I'm supposed to protect you.

I'm right here. [He picks her up effortless, stays low. His main concern right now is getting her the hell out]

No, we're supposed to protect you.

[Her eyes close as she leans her head against his chest.] I'm useless. [Dead already. Isn't that what Revan said about her? The Council?]

Look, when these idiots get a chunk of their - soul or whatever ripped out of them, then they can comment. Until then, I'll kill anyone who tries saying you're useless. [There's a desperate tone to his voice as he dodges his way around buildings, away from the exchange of fire]

[A small smile graces her lips. Despite the pain, even as it dulls, she can't help but feel amused by what he's saying, and the implications behind it.] I said it.

[A wave of relief washes through him at the sight of that smile. She's going to be okay.] Yeah, well. You've always been the exception.

[Shit shit shit what had--

What had gone wrong?

Garrus barely sees Lily fall before he's moving, throwing his rifle over his shoulder and swooping down from his post. His view was obscured, Isolde had gone silent, and Lily--

Lily.

Maybe she wasn't...

No, no time, focus on the target. He hits ground level and takes cover behind the debris, looking for Lily's body, the hostage, and the murderer herself.] Everyone. Report in, now.

Just get the bitch. Isolde's out for the count, I'm getting her out of here.

[ Jack, having a shorter range weapon than Garrus, was positioned closer up. Close enough to see the whole thing. Watch Lily's eyes go glassy, hear the sickening crack and thud as she hit the ground.

There's a moment in which she's just completely frozen, shocked.

And then, rage boils up in her like an inferno. She completely tosses the gun aside and the crates she was hiding being erupt in a biotic explosion. She's stalking towards Bellatrix, entire body pulsing blue with biotic energy. ]

YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD, YOU GUTTER CRAWLING BITCH! I'LL RIP YOUR GODDAMN SPINE AND OUT AND STRANGLE YOU WITH IT!

[ And now she's running, sending a biotic wave towards Bellatrix that could dent up metal ship hulls, aiming to slam her into the wall behind her ]
