Cuyan~ (OC x Clone wars)

ACTUAL Subterfuge

"I'm here," I whispered. This would likely be the highest stakes, most secretive, most dangerous mission I've ever gone on.

"Good. Got the contraband?" Pepper whispered back.

"Yeah."

"Buttered?"

"The butter is non-optional."

"Excellent. Are the men assembled?"

"Everyone is ready."

"Goooood." The lights in the mess hall dimmed.

"Let the Iron Man Marathon BEGIN!" I said as loud as I dared. I took out the contraband popcorn and passed it about as MARVEL began flashing across the wall from the projector we had set up. The entire 212th, except for the Captain and General, cuddled together and tossed popcorn into each other's mouths as we watched the clone's favorite superhero- Iron Man.

Six and a half hours later, I stood up and stretched. "If only you armored brutes were even half as good as Stark, this war would be over by now."

Relay grinned lazily at me. "We have the armored brute down. The senators have the overwhelming wealth down, the Kaminoans have the genius inventor down, and you..."-he raised his voice- "ELLOR MUST BE TONY STARK CAUSE SHE THINKS PEPPER LOOKING FIIIINE!" Oh, he did NOT. I felt my face flush a darker purple.

"Haha," Pepper said. "What?" He looked like a loth cat in headlights. Relay was snickering.

"Ten," I said, turning a predatory gaze on him. He gulped. "Nine," He took off for the doors. "Eigh- Nah, kriff it." I took off after him.

Pepper gave me a bewildered glance before shrugging and turning to Aphro, who was complaining about the lack of sleep. Ares had been yelling in his ear kinda the entire time, he would be deaf by morning. Back to the hunt.

I let his footsteps flow into my ears and focused my violet eyes on him while still taking in my surroundings. "RELAY YOU'RE SO DEAD!"

"YOU'LL HAVE TO CATCH ME FIRST!"

"OH, IT'S ON. IM GOING TO KILL YOU!"

A sleepy voice came from behind a door ahead. "What's this about murder?" Carabast. Captain Cody.

"Relay," I told him, still chasing the rogue clone. Into my comm, I hissed, "We have a Cody Red! I repeat, a Cody Red!"

"We read you, agent Stark In Love."

"Oh, kriff you Ares. You're next."

He sniggered. "God of War out," I growled as I continue mad to run after Relay. He was flagging now. Cody kept pace with us.

"What happened? Ellor, you don't look pranked. Also, I would think that Pepper would be with you guys. Where is he?"

"Pepper's in his bunk and Relay didn't prank me necessarily but IM GOING TO MURDER HIM."

"Who is it this time Ellor?" CARABAST KENOBI TOO? I guess we weren't exactly being subtle.

"Relay, Obi-Wan."

"And where is everyone else? I sense a great disturbance in the force, as if many voices cried out in panic and were suddenly silenced." The mess hall.  He knew and was just being dramatic. I'll try to bluff my way through.

"The boys are in their bunks. I don't sense anything- are you okay?" 

"I'm fine- just hungry." Obi-Wan's eyes twinkled. Oh, he knew. I sighed and tripped Relay with the force. I could have done that earlier, but I was relishing the hunt. "Cody, why don't we get something to eat from the mess hall?" Obi-Wan implored. Cody, catching on, nodded.

"KENOBI RED I REPEAT KENOBI RED" I hissed into my comm.

The words, "Welp, we're dead" emitted from the comm.

"Set up a funeral for me, I lied to the general," I muttered into my wrist.

I hauled Relay up and whispered in his ear, "Not over." He gave me a smirk, but his face was just a bit pale. We trudged to the mess hall. The doors opened, and we saw rows and rows of troopers facing us and eating popcorn like we were a movie. This was how they were going to play this? We're dead.

"Fascinating," Aphro said.

Obi-Wan facepalmed and walked around to the projector. "Iron Mans one, two, and three? Where did you even get this stuff? We don't even carry popcorn on the ship!"

"We have some contacts on Coruscant," I informed him. He didn't look surprised, just exasperated.

"Of course you do. Is anyone not here?"

"Nope"

"Cody, what do you think?" He turned to his captain. Cody looked mad.

His voice was laced with rage as he said, "How DARE you watch an Iron Man Marathon- Without me." His face turned sad and he gave us puppy eyes. "You know that's my favorite series!"

I had to hold in my laughter. Obi-Wan sighed. "Cody. We should punish them."

"Yes. They should have invited me."

"That's not what I meant."

I intervened. "Obi-Wan, what's your favorite Marvel superhero?"

He sighed. "I like Captain America. He actually FOLLOWS THE RULES."

"You're in luck!" I responded. "We have the Captain America movies!" I tossed him a bag of popcorn. "Find a spot, both of you." Obi-Wan gave me a bemused look, but sat down, to my surprise. Cody did the same.

I loaded up Captain America: The First Avenger into the disc slot in the old projector and sat down next to Ares and Aphro. "Genius," Aphro whispered in my ear.

"YuP." I leaned back and stared at the screen again. Crisis averted.
