Anakin's POV
How could she do this to me?

How could she be so selfish and leave me again - knowing how much it broke me to lose her the first time?

She saw what happened on Mustafar, she felt everything that I felt and saw everything I saw - so she knows just how affected I was, and yet she chose to do it to me all over again. A part of me hated her for this, obviously I do love her - that will never change, but this was such a shitty thing to do and I was beyond pissed, as well as hurt.

"Turn this ship around," I demanded, but got no response or even a glance from Master Ti as she continued flying further away, "Turn it around now!" I shouted in anger as tears broke through - causing Artoo to roll away from me and towards the other end of the room, he gets startled when I raise my voice.

"No!" She shouted back, before turning around in the pilot seat to glare at me, "I'm sorry, but she told me not to - under any circumstances." She mumbled quietly while shifting her gaze between both Cal and I - who was also standing by my side with the same determination to turn around as me.

My expression fell as I stared at her in disbelief - feeling my anger rising more with every passing second, "You knew?" I stepped closer to her, "You knew what she was really planning to do?"

She nodded and her face fell into sympathy, "I tried talking her out of it - I really did, but she wouldn't listen to me. And I'm sorry Anakin, but she told me not to turn around and risk our lives too, especially Cal and Ahsoka's."

Cal stepped forward with anger flashing through his eyes - with a hint of yellow that made me nervous, "I don't care what she said; turn around." He growled as he pulled his lightsaber from his belt and held it in her direction.

Ahsoka immediately stood in-between Ti and Cal's blade before I had a chance to intervene, "Don't point that at her." She held a threatening look in her eyes.

Cal narrowed his gaze at his girlfriend and frustratingly bit the inside of his cheek, "I love you Star, truly I do, but if you don't move - I will throw you across this cockpit."

My padawan took his threat as a challenge and pulled one of her weapons on him - aiming it in his direction, "Shall we have a temple repeat then?" She asked with a stubborn head tilt.

He raised his brows before slowly stepping a little closer to her, "Did you forget that I won that day? I promise today won't be any different." He snapped, making her eyes water as she kept her defensive stance.

"Enough," I waved my hand to push Cal a few feet away from Ahsoka since she clearly wasn't letting her guard down - and I didn't want this ship turning into their next battleground, "Cal, maybe those are the measures you resorted to before, but we don't draw our lightsabers on our allies - no matter how tempting it is." I turned to slowly glare at Ti who turned back around to face the window to avoid looking at me. I was pissed that she knew and allowed it to happen. She could have told me and I would have stopped it; (y/n) would be here with me if she did.

"Fine," Cal responded sternly as he put his weapon away and turned to leave the cockpit, but not before punching the metal wall of the ship as hard as he could; leaving a dent next to the doorway that he disappeared through.
