SWTCW Oneshots (Mainly Clones) part 2

I've Got You

"Rex!"

He groaned, barely able to feel his own body as he came to.

What happened?

"Rex. Vod'ika, wake up!"

Slowly, he managed to lift his eyelids. It wasn't hard, as the room they were in was dark.

Force, he felt horrible.

"Cody..?" He mumbled, remembering that his older brother had been captured along with him. They had both been knocked unconscious, dragged to who knows where.

His brother was tied up across from him, watching him with furrowed brows. There was blood dribbling down his chin from a cut on his lip, and his upper armor was removed.

As he failed to move, Rex realized he was tied up as well. Not to mention his own lack of chest and arm armor.

Great.

"About time you came to your senses," his brother managed a hoarse chuckle.

Rex shook away the dizziness he felt. "How long was I out?"

Cody huffed. "Much longer than I was. You really love to sleep."

"I was knocked out for your information," He replied. "We both were, in case you hit your head so hard that you forgot."

Even from across the room, he could just tell that his brother rolled his eyes from the way his head rolled with them.

The door to the dusty, abandoned room swung open. Rex felt his anger grow.

"Dooku."

"Is that any way to treat a guest?" He asked with a brow raise. But Rex continued to eye the lightsabers with his eyes. Dooku noticed this.

"Not to worry, Captain. I have no intention on using that unless things become difficult with your...cooperation."

Cody narrowed his eyes. "What do you want from us?"

"Ah, we will get to that in time," Dooku turned to and approached Rex, eyeing him with an unsettling interest. It was clear that the closer he got, the more tense Cody became.

"I believe that Anakin Skywalker is your General, is he not?"

Rex growled. "Why would you care?"

Dooku only smiled. "I'd appreciate you not making this as difficult as it should be. I plan to release both you and your brother unharmed if you tell me what I need to know."

"Yeah?" He asked. "Well we aren't telling you kriff—"

The lightning that exploded from the Count's fingertips was uncalled for. Rex's body spasmed with increasing pain as a pained cry tore from his throat.

"Rex!" Cody yelled.

Finally, it stopped. Rex hung his head, breathing in precious air as he tried to regain his composure.

"I'd rather not have to resort to the hard methods if you don't mind," Dooku said. "But it seems like that is going to have to be the case."

"Touch him again and you're a dead man!" Cody threatened, thrashing against his restrains uselessly.

Dooku paused for a moment. "Ah, but I didn't touch him, Commander."

"You still hurt him!"

The Count was silent for a few moments, looking at Rex with a raised brow before walking over to Cody.

"I guess we shall move the more..challenging questions..onto you, Commander Cody."

Cody raised a brow and smiled. "If you think you're getting anything out of me, you're dead wrong. We're more stubborn than you think."
