How he had found himself in this situation again was absolutely beyond him.

Another friend accused, another fugitive, another chase, another conversation begging Fives to come back so that he could make things okay.

What to do differently, he didn't know. Ahsoka had not listened to him, no matter how hard he had tried to let her know that he was on her side, that he would never, ever let her come to any harm.

But then again, Fives was... different. He loved his men like his own brothers—all of them.

But Ahsoka had been more than just another soldier on the frontlines with him. She had been his padawan, his baby sister, the one responsibility that he had been directly given, and one of the many things that had slipped through his fingers.

He had failed as her master, and worse than that, he had failed as her brother.

"Get away from me!"

"Fives, no!"

A blaster.

A chest plate.

Flesh.

Rex was yelling, and all that he knew right now was that there was another older brother beside him, trapped as he watched his sibling die.

And he couldn't get to him.

"Get this ray shield off!" he shouted, trying to swallow the lump in his throat as he watched Rex rush over to Fives.

"Do not shoot to kill! Do not shoot to kill!!" he was screaming, panting as he ran alongside Rex, praying that his orders had been heard.

One faulty comm, he thought to himself, if just one trooper hadn't heard him...

"Call for help, we need a medic!"

He wanted to cry, unsure if it was the fact that he hadn't been able to save yet another person, or just the absolute horror of what could have been, had Ahsoka not gotten herself away in time (if his training hadn't been enough).

Or possibly because he was realizing that he had been lucky to only lose her by her own choice.

It was because he saw himself in Rex.

"Fives, stay with me," Rex choked out, "Fives!"

Another older brother, wanting nothing more than to protect his younger sibling, his family, a person who he loved.

"The mission," the trooper breathed heavily, "the nightmares..."

Anakin held back a sob.

"They're finally... over."
