"Another mission. With you," Kanan groaned as he leaned back on the pilot's chair of the shuttle. "Fantastic,"

"Hey, don't cast the blame on me. I didn't plan this," Red huffed, rolling his eyes. "It was all the Commander's. And your Captain's,"

"She's not 'my' captain," Kanan folded his arms. "She's Ahsoka's,"

"Really? That's news to me," Rex grinned. "I knew the Commander lost interest on men, but I didn't know she had one already,"

"They started dating almost a year ago, just a few weeks after Hera knew who Fulcrum was," Kanan shrugged.

"Gossip, gossip," Rex chuckled.

"Hey! At least it's true," Kanan rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, I know," Rex waved him off. "So, what's the mission about? Ahsoka never briefed me on it,"

"Force-Sensitive children," Kanan let out a sigh. "The Empire's been targeting these kids and their families for a while now. We're taken care of the others in the past, but there's one that Ahsoka's tracked down that's strong and somewhat familiar to her. It's in Lothal,"

"Didn't know the Force picked a lot of kids to wield it," Rex pursed his lips.

"The Force works in mysterious ways," Kanan gave another shrug. "Even I don't know why it does this. It's like... asking why it never let any of the Jedi sense that Sidious was the Sith Lord until it was too late,"

"Good point," Rex nodded. "So... why us and not Ezra? Doesn't he know the place better than us?"

"He's with Zeb, tracking down other Force-Sensitive kids in Garel," Kanan replied.

Rex laughed. "It's like the Commander's setting them up on a date or something,"

"Man, you need to get to know my crew more," Kanan shook his head. "Or at least do it away from me,"

"Yeesh, you still got issues," Rex crossed his arms. "I thought that we were in better terms after our mission to rescue Commander Sato, Ezra and the rest of Phoenix Squadron,"

"We ARE in better terms that before. You're bearable to be around," Kanan rolled his eyes. "Bearable, but it doesn't mean I'm THAT comfortable around you. I... I still haven't reached that point yet,"

"Eh, we'll get there, Commander," Rex grinned.

Kanan glared daggers at him. "Rex, no. I am NO Commander,"

"Alright, alright, I get it," Rex raised his hands up in defense. "Sheesh,"

"Good." Kanan turned away and proceeded to ignore him all throughout the trip.

The familiar Force Signature met him the moment he stepped out of the ramp after the shuttle landed. It was so overwhelming that he almost stumbled back.

"Woah!" Rex grabbed the Jedi to keep him from falling. "You alright there, Kanan?"

"Y-Yeah..." Kanan placed a hand on his forehead with a hiss. "I was just... surprised, that's all,"

"Felt the Force-Sensitive already?" Rex looked surprised. "Wow. This kid must be really powerful then,"

"No, not powerful," Kanan shook his head. "Familiar. Strangely familiar, but at the same time... a little different,"
