Mara
----------

Mara stayed by y/ns side through every second of their jump to kamino, holding her left had, or her only hand since the other had had been removed by a lightsaber

She stared at the missing right arm, neatly severed just below the elbow,  it was all her fault,  at least that's what Mara kept telling herself as tears slipped down her face and fell out of her helmet

She almost didn't notice the hand on her shoulder as Sarrak attempted to comfort her, Ace was on the other side of the stretcher patting y/ns unconscious head

"Leaving hyperspace now, Kamino medical landing this is transport 8652731 approaching for drop off, we have one severally injured and three minor ones"
Sledge said over the ships long range communicators

"This is Kamino medical staff please transfer skans of injuries so we can prepare the correct treatment, then land at dock 13-b"

"Copy that, over and out"

The landed and y/n was immediately rushed to an operating room, one of the medical attendees tried to get Mara to lay on a stretcher so she could get checked out, Mara was in no state for this and pushed pass the clone following y/n as she was wheeled away

The little togruta wast still unconscious as a medical droids began to asses the damage and injecte what Mara assumed to be amnestics

Mara tried to ener the room but was stopped by a clone,  that stepped in front of her

"You can't go in there miss, droids need room to work"

Mara looked past him to y/n
"No, I need to look after her..." she said exhaustedly, the high amount of adrenaline that she had been experiencing since the beginning of her ordeal was starting to fade, leaving the mandalorian drained

The clone shook his head
"Sorry ma'am, if you wish to j
Keep an eye on your daughter you'll need to do it through the observation window

"Shes not my...." Mara stopped the almost automatic response and frowned under her helmet, why did she deny what she herself wanted?

"Fine" she said instead as she moved to the observation window watching with baited breath, as the medical droids surgically implanted some kind of port or socket into y/ns elbow

She hated this, hated that y/n would be forever changed like this at such a young age,  to lose a piece of herself like this would scar the girl forever

After they installed the socket the droids began to construct the skeletal structure of a hand from shining silver metal, the then began to work at a level that Mara couldn't even see, she assumed that they were connecting the socket to y/ns nervesystem so she could control the hand but she didn't know or really care at the moment,  all her mind was focused completely on y/n

"Come on little one, your gonna be ok"

She heard Ace whispere barely audible,  he had taken his helmet off as he looked through the window on her right,  Sarrak stood to her left chewing a claw nervously

It was a very odd thing to see the trandotion and the commando so nervous, it showed ho much they cared for y/n, she had brought them all together as partners by circumstance, now..... the hunters were family by choice

Mara watched as the medical bots ran various tests on the arm while simultaneously switching up a long gash across her side,  after that the bot simply added a good amount of bacta to any other wounds

It was at this point that Mara became aware of her own wounds,  the several massive cuts in her arms and legs from the commando droids

The mandalorian was starting to feel all the pain and exhaustion of the day and nearly collapsed, if it hadn't been for Ace she would have probably hit the floor

"I don't wanna leave y/n..... but we all need to get patches up"

"I'll keep an eye on the cadet ma'am,  get yourselves fixed up, I've got this"

looked over to sledge, the trooper stood with his arms crossed over his dark angel green chest plate

"Sledge...."

The clone looked backwards at her and she smiled inside her helmet

"Thanks..... if it wasn't for hammerfalls speed we probably wouldn't have made it out, im honored to serve with you

Sledge saluted
"Our pleasure comander, you earned my respect when you treated us clones with respect,  we're happy to serve under you Comander"

She saluted him back and nodded to Ace and Sarrak
" come on, let's get patched up, the faster we're fixed the faster we can get back

Mara was moved into a medical room and relaxed until she saw the droi going for her helmet

"Hey! Don't touch the helmet, ill deal with what's under there, get the other ones"

The droid looked almost confused
"Umm, ma'am? If I don't treat your possible head injuries...."

She cut it off
"Helmet stays in, always, touch it and well need a new droi"

The threat was extremely clear

Sha Koon
-----------

Sha had been informed of the situation from a clone comander named sledge,  she didn't know the full scope of the bounty hunters injuries but she knew it wasn't good

As she left the jedi temple in a hurt she had a sudden strong feeling,  she stopped and poked her head into a room and grabbed a double bladed practice saber, she took it with her

Sha walked past the young Skywalker who turned and followed her towards the ship bay

"I assume you heard what happened koon?" Anaikin asked

Sha nodded silently,  she didn't want to show it but she was incredibly concerned about y/n

"Well, since snips is on kamino anyway I was wondering if I could accompany you......"

Sha sighed and nodded again
"Best keep up Skywalker,  I don't slow down"

"Good, I guess this is where the fun begins "

"Indeed young Skywalker "

(Tomorrow is may the 4th, im so excited for bad batch!, I can't wait, may the force be with y’all,  every single one of you)
