Heavy TW; Mommy kink. Morinth x Shepard.
Samara's glowing eyes greeted the Commander as he arrived. "I must ask for your help. That is not easy for me." She explained, staring out the big glass observatory. Trailing blue fingers across the switch that closed or opened the view.
"I'll do what I can. What do you need?" Shepard asked.
"When we met on Illium..." Samara began, her Justicar uniform reflecting every bit of the ship's sleek metals. "I told you about a very dangerous person I was pursuing. Using the information you obtained, I have located her."
This was good news, Shepard thought. So, why did she seem so hesitant to tell him what was going on.
"She's been going by the name 'Morinth'." Samara continued. "I would like to...apprehend her before she dissapears again."
"Who is she?" Shepard asked, taking a few steps closer to his squadmate. "Tell me about her."
Samara the Justicar seemed all too eager to share this information now that it was out in the open. "She is an Ardat-Yakshi." She spoke, holding it in the air.
Shepard was all too familiar. He had done a bit of Asari research, mostly at the behest of Liara T'Soni, their ship researcher scientist. He knew about Ardat-Yakshi, but only very limited information. It caused him to be more curious than afraid.
"It is a term from a dead asari dialect. It means 'demon of the night winds.'" Samara continued, only causing Shepard to grow more curious. Liara was right, young males have an unhealthy obsession with asaris. Shepard was feeling the tug of that as he looked out the starry window with Samara.
"Most of the information people know is mythology." She explained, breaking the Commander from his thoughts. "She is simply a very dangerous woman who kills without mercy.
"You are dangerous too." Commander prompted, not sure what she was trying to get at.
A small smile of thankfulness. "As are you. But she is different. Morinth suffers a rare genetic disorder. When she mates with you, there is no gentle melding of nervous systems."
This caused a brief moment of fear from the commander, but he stepped forward. Eyes widened. Listening intently as the blue woman continued.
"She overpowers your nervous system, burns it out. Hemorrhages your brain. You end up a mindless shell, and soon after you are dead."
The two stayed in silence for a long moment before the Commander asked a seemingly stupid question.
"Is she only deadly to people she mates with?"
She turned her head to him, eyes lit up. Face stoic. "Each time she kills she becomes stronger, smarter, and faster. And she has been doing this almost four-hundred years. She confuses her victims. Twists their feelings. They will do anything for her favor."
Shepard nodded once and turned on his heel, heading back out. Samara spoke up before he entirely dissapeared.
"There is one thing more: This creature. This...monster. She is my daughter." Their backs to each other. She faced the stars, he faced the door. Contemplating her words.
Samara could feel the silence and quickly explained. "I present no danger to anyone besides my own children. And this is not easy to speak of, even 400 years after I learned it."
She began to pace, causing Shepard to feel nervous as well. Samara kept going on about her daughter's condition. What caused it, how she blamed herself, talked about her other two daughters at a monestary. And then, after getting every detail, Shepard was off. Going to kill or rescue Morinth, Samara the Justicar's estranged daughter.

The three approached Aria T'Loak. Shepard and his crew had arrived on Omega only a few moments ago, and Shepard was taking Samara and Liara on a mission to take down Morinth. Shepard climbed the small staircase as his squadmates, both asari as well as Aria, stayed behind. The blue goddess nodded her head towards the couch, beckoning the solider to sit.
"What do you need?" She barked. Clearly too busy for him. In another life, Shepard would have stolen Aria away. Shown her the galaxy and more. But in this life, he had to keep it in his pants. Albiet barely.
"An asari fugitive is hiding out here. She's an Ardat-Yakshi. We need to find her." Shep explained. Aria gave a single shoulder shrug. Clearly uncaring if she was an Ardat-Yakshi or not. Typically frowned upon in their culture.
"I knew it. Nothing leaves a body quite so...empty as an Ardat-Yakshi does. I haven't taken steps to kill her, though. Why would I? She hasn't tried to seduce me."
