The Rising

Bad Batch to the Rescue

Plo Koon watched as his young Padawan shift uncomfortably as Hera waved and smiled at him, though her brother glared at Caleb.

Plo smiled unable to rid the memories of his two best friends when they where around that age, his mind was abruptly brought out of his thoughts when he heard yelling from the corridor.

"I don't care!!!!!" Bly yelled as he tried to break free of a very pissed off Fi who was trying to wrestle him back down the corridor, "if the 99 squad is going to find her then I'm going with!" Bly yelled as he broke free and ran into the hanger he had everyone's attention almost immediately.

The children mainly who yelped to hide behind a very confused Ahsoka, Caleb on the other hand stood his ground as Bly stormed past, Rex winced at how badly bruised his brother looked before standing in front of him "calm down.....they arnt even here yet" Rex said nodding to the somewhat empty hanger. Bly calmed down slightly before he rounded on Rex "I'm not going to the med bay again, I've wasted so much time for all I know the mother of my children could be.........." Blys voice broke off as he closed his eyes trying not to break down. Rex glanced at Ahsoka who was whispering quietly to the Twilek children and the padawan, he remembered when she was taken by Maul.....he shivered slightly at the memory of her chained down.

"I can't tell you not to go vod" Rex whispered quietly his eyes still on his wife who looked back at him warmly making him smile before he turned to face Bly again "Just don't do anything stupid.".

Bly nodded as Rex walked back over to his wife and wrapped an arm around her waist as she leaned against him slightly.

Bly on the other hand looked at the happy couple with slight jealousy, he looked back to the hanger entrance trying his best to calm his mind instinctively remembering a conversation he and Ayla had shared only months after they got together.

"How do you ever get anything done with your mind so chaotic as it is?" Ayla asked as she lay in bed next to him drawing small circles into his bare chest, her own body covered by the thin military grade blankets as he moved on his side facing her as his own hand gently caressed her cheek "you agreed no Jedi tricks" Bly muttered as he gently kissed her forehead. "No Jedi trick, more like a Twilek trick" she muttered her lips inches away from his, Bly smirked thinking about the other tricks she knew before something dawned on him. 

"So Twileks can read minds?" he asked confused, Ayla only giggled "we can feel our mates emotions, though with you your thoughts are written all over your face my dear". Bly smiled at her mention of the word mate before she blushed to realize what she had said, "so does that mean I'm your husband now?" Bly whispered as he pulled her close to him so her chest rested against his "something like that yes" she muttered before he kissed her gently. 

That night she had taught him how to calm his mind, though in all honesty he had only ever calmed his mind once before and that was with her help. That was of course once he managed to pry his hands off of her long enough to do so.

He stood now in the hanger his eyes closed trying his very best to breathe nice even breaths as he Imagined soft sand running through an hourglass, each grain hitting the bottom slower and slower.

When he finally opened his eyes he earned a  nod from Ahsoka and Plo, both well versed in meditation. "They should be landing any minute vod the control tower just gave them the all-clear," said Wolfe. Rex on the other hand paled before shooing the children out of the hanger along with his wife who knew all too well about the bad batch's infamous landing strategy. The only ones left in the hanger now were Bly, Wolfe, Plo, Chopper, and Riyo, all of whom were thoroughly confused at their actions before they heard alarms going off.
