Following the daring mission over Mustafar, the Ghost crew officially joins the Phoenix Fleet. Now involved into the bigger fight against the Empire, the Bridger siblings try to find their place in the new rebellion while dealing with their respecti...
Sleeping wasn't exactly easy for the siblings. In order to do that, they had to take a moment and meditate right after their respective partners had finally gone asleep beside them.
Being Legionnaires, and not being particularly tired, they only needed 5 hours before waking up again. As they left their beds and dressed almost in unison, Ezra and Jaral met finally in the middle of the base and greeted each other while waiting for Ahsoka and Kanan to show up again.
"How you coping, sis?" Ezra asked.
Jaral sighed. "I must say, I can't help but agree with Darvos. I've been told to be a Jedi just a week ago. I don't even have my own lightsaber yet, and I'm asked to go looking for ancient knowledge about the Sith with the Inquisitor probably on our tail."
"I know." said Ezra and put a hand on her shoulder. "But you're probably the smartest among us, so if there's a mystery to solve, you're perfect. And don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." he reassured her.
"I know you won't, Ez. Thank you." she said mustering a half-smile.
"How about we meditate a little until the others arrive?" the boy proposed, and the sister nodded.
Ezra knelt down while Jaral sat cross-legged. They both breathed at their own pace as their minds slowly sank into the currents of the Force.

Their thoughts unconsciously drifted into their memories. Especially the ones of this last year. Both of them had found love, their original family had come back together against all odds, they had finally saw the establishment of a new base, a place they could somehow call home.
They had experienced loss as well. Some comrades in the fleet had died in front of them, but such was the cost of war.
"What if it happens to someone closer to me, next time?" a single thought made its way into Ezra's mind.
He shook his head, trying to regain focus. That was not gonna happen! He would make sure of it.
Jaral, on the other hand, was busy looking into the Force in search of answers. Why her potential with the Force had arisen only now, of all times? The Force must have had something in store for her. But what could it be? Protect her brother? Finding the answer about how to destroy the Sith? Was her role in the grand scheme of things supposed to be a minor one or a major one?
Thousands of scenarios ran across her mind but they only managed to confuse her more and more, to the point that she decided to drop the subject in her mind. It was definitely too early for her to understand what the Force wanted from her. He remembered the vow she made in the Temple: whatever happens, she would only listen to the Light, and abide by the will of the Force.
Their meditation was interrupted after a few minutes when Ahsoka showed up. She herself was meditating in a more isolated place. Kanan reached them not long after.
