Cody lay on her lap, eyes closed, enjoying the way her fingers tangled in his hair. It calmed him down after a hard day. He could relax at least for a little while.

"I'm very glad that I have you. I can't imagine what I would do if you weren't here."

[loyaltyandchaos]

If it was a choice between the longnecks and Aelith, Echo would choose her. Aelith was pleasant to talk to, could cheer you up, and could heal with something like the Force. Fives was definitely lucky to have her. Thanks to her care, he was able to recover faster. Her magic wouldn't give him his arm and legs back, but at least he would be able to return to battle as quickly as possible.

"Thank you. Your support means a lot. You're doing more than anyone could do on Kamino, and I appreciate it."

If Skywalker took on a project, you could be sure that he would finish it. So Echo didn't have to worry about his new arm. It would definitely be perfect.

“It seems to be a common thread amongst the commanders and captains. Helix from the 212th and Kolto from the 104th have the same issue with Cody and Wolffe. Divines only know how Stim from the guard handles fox and his raging caffeine addiction and sleep deprivation.”

She snickers knowing the medics frustrations are common knowledge amongst the battalions, looking up as her face lights up when he smiles.

“I might not have lost a limb Echo but I’ve been close to death more than once back on Nirn. Dwemer ruins are deadly even for experienced delvers and I’ve gotten on the wrong side of the defences more than once, got my fair share of scars too. I try to be the healer I’d want in that moment.”

Aelith takes a little step back as he takes his first ones on his new prosthetics, ready to catch him if she has to, smiling proudly as he manages it.

“I should hope so. Anakin has been working on those all week so far, he’s still planning improvements.”

That sounded pretty interesting. She liked to tinker with machinery in her spare time, too. And…fugitives from the Empire? Children? Was he really more than he seemed? Ahsoka leaned closer to him

"To be honest, in my spare time I like to stick sticks into the machinery of the Empire. These children…are they Jedi?"

"I am a tinkerer, arms, armour, machines, I got a "magic" touch." He wiggles his fingers at her. "And looking after two run aways from the Imperium, but that's hush hush." He taps a finger to his lip. "Good kids."

Cody wasn't surprised when the cabbie glared at them. Cabbies often butted in with judgment. That was what civilians were like. Judgment, even though he and his brothers were shedding their blood so that people like them could live well. If it weren't for them, every civilian on Coruscant would have to take up arms. How much of a fight would they have had? There would be no one left in an hour. Cody didn't want to think about it too much.

"This is going to be fun, isn't it?"

Cody threw his arm over Thera's shoulder and hugged her. Let the cabbie think what he wanted. This was his woman, and no one could judge them for what little they had. It would even be funny to watch the cabbie complain.

"It's going to be a long night. Some people will party and some will work. I prefer the former."

Thera didn't like to think about Cody's prior experience. At best it made her uncomfortable, and at worst she might wonder how she compared to those professional ladies, with all their tricks of the trade. It was a train of thought she really ought to stay away from.

The carrier was more plain and obvious in what it was, and she pretended she didn't see some of the 212th Brothers eyeing them with a grin.

They made their way through the south exit, and it was only a moment later that one of the passing air-taxis saw her wave and pulled up beside the platform. As always there was a brief glance at seeing a Trooper and a civilian together, but then they were in the cab and on their way ...

The armor was indeed shiny. They hadn't had a chance to test it in combat yet, so the paint was fresh and there wasn't a single scratch on it. His previous armor had been reliable, and you could tell by the number of marks on it. How long would it take for the new one to be scarred? Well, considering the war wasn't even close to ending…in the next battle.

"Yeah, it's really shiny. Without paint, you wouldn't be able to tell us apart from the new shinies right now."

He smirked.

"You'll put on my old armor and we can play it out."

"Dare I say it looks ... shiny?" Which it did, the uniform white and patches of orange not yet pocked and scarred from battle ... unlike the man inside it. "But I don't care what it looks like, as long as it does its job."

Nothing was going to keep him safe out on the battlefield, but good armor was at least going to help. But as for the rest ... she eased back on her heel, an eyebrow lifting in amusement.

"And what ideas are those?"

[loyaltyandchaos]

"That's my day! Thanks for reminding me, cyare <3"

Revenge of the fifth??? Nah. Not to me.

Happy Fives day every one!!! To the bestest and prettiest trooper of them all (Don’t tell echo I said that. You’re both pretty). @loyaltyandchaos

[loyaltyandchaos]

May the Fourth Be with You!

Ahsoka could understand Rebecca's feelings. She felt bad too. But there was a suffocating sense of guilt that was added to her condition. She couldn't save any of them. She couldn't save Anakin and the other Jedi. One by one, Ahsoka felt them go. Feeling her connection to Master Plo break, Ahsoka covered her mouth with her hands to hold back a sob. She couldn't break. Rebecca was right. If they stopped, they wouldn't be able to move on.

"Let me help you. Together, we can do more."

Rex couldn't pay attention to anything but his brothers. If only he had done something sooner. If only he had managed to convince Skywalker to continue investigating… Why did it have to end like this? Exhausted, he sat down on the ground and covered his face with his hands, unable to hold back the tears.

Rebecca was lifting up another clone and carrying him to lay him to rest next to his other brothers. This was the eighth trooper she had grabbed from the wreckage. Everything just felt so numb. She moved more like a mindless husk. Shuffling to get another trooper out of the wreckage.

In her tunnel vision, she never even noticed that Rex had found Jessie in the wreck. If she did notice, she couldn't even imagine what he would be going through by finding him and having to bury him. There wouldn't be much she could do to relieve the pain that Rex was feeling as much as she would want to. Rebecca just continued to move on her task. If she stopped, she might collapse and just not get up.

She was slow to turn when Ahsoka placed a hand on her shoulder asking if she was alright.

"I...I don't know. I just feel numb. I can't feel anything. If I stop, ...I don't know if I'll be able to get back up."

"We have time, up until Revenge Of The Sith starts, and that’s still months away,” Grim replied as she followed Obi-Wan. The title of the movie slipped out without her thinking. She had been more focused on telling Obi-Wan about the future then being completely honest about how she knew all of this. It was far more then visions, her visions were oftentimes just scenes from the movies and shows that she was afraid would happen. Not true visions.

"Revenge of the Sith?"

Obi-Wan raised his eyebrows. It was a little strange, but what difference does it make how she got this knowledge, if this knowledge will help them defeat the Sith before "their revenge".

"Is there anything else I should know that we should tell the Council?"

@running-through-time [x]

Jenny followed the other . Glancing down every now and then to make sure she did not step on anything untoward .

"were , yes , could still be .. but I'm not sure , see I kinda died and then came back and then left my squad , see the war was over , and I did not want to be stuck on one planet for the rest of my life , so I commandeered a space ship and started exploring " she admitted with a smile and a shrug as if that explained everything.

"and no no , no need to salute, I never really enjoyed all that , though it is fun making someone do it if they pissed me off " she smiled .

She laughed" ohhh absolutely , but sometimes getting burned is the only way to learning or getting something done " she said casually.

Jenny looked at the new comer and gave him a half smile and a wave before saying " hey , I'm Jenny " she said in a bubbly tone as if they were meeting in a bar no a battlefield

_________________________________________

“I tripped over her on the battlefield. She is neither a CIS nor a Republic member. But she is not our enemy. So I decided to introduce her to you, General.”

Anakin frowned slightly and looked at Jenny more closely. She felt different in the Force than anyone he knew. It was strange.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jenny. My name is Anakin Skywalker. I'm a Jedi Knight. You're under our protection now. We'll have an evacuation team coming for us soon, so you can tell us your story. Fives, keep an eye on her for now."

Fives saluted.

[loyaltyandchaos]

"I doubt she's happy being away from us. We're her family. So take me to her. Now!" Hunter pointed his blaster at the man.

“ is this really necessary Sargent?” Hemlock asked, tilting his head inquisitively. 

[loyaltyandchaos]

"Domino? That's a good idea. It'll be fun."

Echo liked that idea. It would best reflect their relationship and also show that Thera was his and Fives's girlfriend. Maybe they should get a tattoo in her honor too.

"That's a great idea! But there should be two dominoes. One for Echo, one for me. Or something like that."

Fives was glad that neither of them were going anywhere. Rest was also very important.

"Hmm ... if we're going to embroider it, maybe a pair of dominos?" Thera settled in, tilting her head a tiny bit for Fives' kiss.

She was hardly the sentimental sort - at least not where anyone could see - but sometimes she puzzled over what, or whether, to give the boys for the times they were away. Back in her home system, her studies of history had mentioned something called a favour, given to a warrior before a fight; perhaps she should do some reading about that again.

With a gentle sigh she snuggled a bit, one arm resting on Fives' curled around her, the other reaching for Echo on the other side. She was warm and content, and despite taunting Echo a little on the way back she was more than happy to fall back asleep.

"Not going anywhere for a while ..."

@resurrectedfiles said: "I was told that I could drop him off here and leave him with you...to babysit while I sleep. I don't want him taken away from me...I'll pay you in credits if that makes things easier for you." (From Din to Obi-wan)

Obi-Wan looked at Grogu and smiled. He remembered the youngling. Master Yoda had once asked him to look after him when he left Coruscant. Grogu required special care and training. The Mandalorian would hardly be able to give him that.

"No credits needed. I'll look after a child for free. "

It was funny that the Mandalorian had taken on the care of a Force-sensitive and seemed to have no intention of parting with him.

Did he know who Grogu was? He hardly even knew his name.

"It's none of my business, of course, but... Did you know that his kind lives for centuries? And that the little one is most likely a Force-user?"

[loyaltyandchaos]

@jedischild said: "I miss you." (For Luke)

Luke smiled at the message. He missed her too. Maybe they should finally meet. It had been too long. "I miss you too."

[loyaltyandchaos]

@/anonymous asked: ( for Fives ) How's my favorite clone man doing

"Hello, Anonymous. I'm fine as always! Thanks for asking and for making me your favorite."

[loyaltyandchaos]

@jedischild said: "So, this is the Ghost... she's no Falcon but she's a beautiful ship." (For Hera)

"Well, thank you! I try to take care of her and fix her when needed. She's old, of course, but she still flies quite well! The Ghost has gotten us out of many scrapes."

[loyaltyandchaos]

"I couldn't agree more." She felt happy. "What about you? How was your day?"

@darkseraphscorner said: Hugs Ashoka. "How have you been my dear?"

Ahsoka hugged him back and snuggled into him. It was so amazing to have a boyfriend. Maybe she could understand Anakin better now.

"Well, it was a bit of a crazy day. But it all worked out well, so I don't mind. The main thing is that I got my reward."

She kissed him.
