"What did you do Kallus!?" The man shrieked as he stomped into my cell.

"How could I do anything with my arms dislocated and hanging over my head for the Ashlya knows how long and so weak I couldn't do anything otherwise!" I said, slurring my speech.

"Smartass!" He said, punching me up my left eye. I started shedding tears, of which caused my left eye to sting from the pain.

An explosion outside the door caused me to slowly look up. The door slid open and my captor was shot through the head. I saw a fuzzy shape through my already swollen shut black eye, of which wasn't human, or near human.

"You ok?" A familiar voice said, releasing my wrists from the binders and catching me before I hit the floor.

"Leave me alone!" I cried, crawling into a corner from the new person, tears again running down my cheeks.

"I'm not going to hurt ya Alex!" The person said, inching closer to me.

"Stay away!" I said again, lashing out.

"I'm going to take you away from here!" The person said.

"How do I know you won't take me somewhere else worse?" I asked.

"What happened to you?" They said, placing a hand on my left leg.

"Don't!" I snapped.

"Are you ok?" They asked, withdrawing their hand.

"You can't be making a move on me, especially since I don't know you and in love with someone else!" I said before passing out.

When I woke up, my first sensation was being surrounded by cold, of which set off my old leg injury.

"Ah, Kallus! Good to see you're awake!" Hera said, walking up to my bed holding her newborn son.

"Hey Hera! What happened, where are we?" I asked, sitting up.

"You were gone for a couple standard months before we found out you were missing after settling down here, then Zeb and Rex went looking for you, at least until they stumbled upon the Sex Trafficker's ship. They stopped them, freed the other prisoners, but brought you back after finding you!" She said.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"Hoth!" She said.

"Karrabast! That explains the cold, and the cold related pain in my leg!" I said.

"From Bahryn, right?" She asked.

"Yeah, I've been having extra pain, cold related since I broke my leg then!" I said.

"How you feeling?" She asked.

"Ok I guess! My shoulders don't hurt anymore!" I said.

"In the week you've been here, you're shoulders and black eye were healed with Bacta, but you're ribs haven't been reacting to the Bacta! Zeb's been here taking care of you when the doctors have been to busy to look at you for awhile!" She said.

"Thanks Hera!" I said, smiling.

"Hey kid! Good to see you up!" Rex said, walking into the room in a full fur lined white coat, like Hera.

"Thanks Rex! But hey, I'm not that much younger than you!" I said.

(Rex about 40 since birth, 80 with accelerated aging, Kallus between 35-45ish, but I'm making him about 31-32 and Zeb 32-34)

"I know, but since you're still younger than me, you're a kid still!" He said, smirking.

"By the way Rex, were you the one who found me in my cell and released me?" I asked.
