Zara Stormchaser. Former Jedi master /healer, now on the run. She Comes across a group of clones called "the Bad batch" On a planet , In need of medical assistance for one of their own. She needs protection from a bounty hunter. They need a healer...
I wake with a gasp. Trying to figure out what woke me. I look around to find Cassian crying in his crib. I rub a hand down my face and sigh. I get up and go to him. Placing him at my breast he begins to eat. I run a finger over his cheek. He grunts in contentment.
" You are the only man I need in my life right now." After I had told them they looked at each other. No words passing between them They both left my room. I was left alone to cry my eyes out. I know I look like a wreck. I can feel how swollen and puffy my eyes are. I blink away the tears threatening to fall again. I decide to go to the training room to blow off some steam.
I place a content Cassian back in his crib and comm Echo. " yeah?" He sounded like he was sleeping. " Echo , could you come and sit in my room for a few hours? I need to go blow off some steam." Silence the. He asks " where's Hunter and Crosshairs at?" I feel rage at the mention of them.
" I don't know and I really don't care. You know what? Never mind. I'll just take them with me to the training room. Thanks though." I cut the comm and grab my babies. Placing them in the double sling I had made recently .

I grab a blanket and make my way to the training room. Unfortunately I have to walk through the mess hall, where I find Cross and Hunter talking. I freeze on the thresh hold at what they are discussing
" Hunter what are we going to do?" Cross asks I hear Hunter sigh and I can imagine him running his hand through his hair.
" What can we do? That Ewok Chief married us and Zara. I don't know about you but I'm really not ready for a ready made family. I'd have like to have had some say in it." Tears prick my eyes at that statement.
" Yeah , me neither.... but what's done is done. Now we have an obligation to her and those babies."
So I'm some kind of obligation now? That's what they see me.. us as?Well we'll see about that. I just won't have nothing to do with them. I'll be curt and stay away from them as much as possible.
I step into the room and Storm past them. " Zara?" I don't stop ,I keep walking. As I go around the corner I hear. "You think she heard us?" " Oh there's now doubt in my mind. That is one ticked off woman."
I burst into the training room. Placing the blanket down out of the way I place the twins down and cover them with the excess blanket.
I move to grab a mock fighting staff and move to the center of the room and begin going through a hard warm up. Mock fighting is a type of stress relief for me.
I hear the doors Swiss open and two sets of foot steps enter. I ignore them as I continue my set. How I wish I had a sparring partner. I jump up and do a flip in the air. Landing in a crouch , I quickly stand and spin the bow around my back, over my right shoulder and spin it in front of me.
I swing around , aiming it at the man standing behind me. I hold it against his neck. " Zara, easy...." Hunter is holding his hands up in a placating manner. I pull my staff away and twirl it behind me once again.
" Go away." I grit through my teeth.
" Zara ... please." He begs I ignore him and am fixing to move into another set of fighting techniques when he says
" Spar with me." I freeze and look back over at him.
I just look at him. " No." I move to the weapons wall and replace the staff.
" What do you mean no?" Asks Crosshairs. I turn back around and cross my arms and stare at them. " Let's talk about why your both really here , shall we?" I step closer to Hunter and say " You didn't want a ready made family. I'm an obligation now. You don't want to be married to me. Am I getting close to the source of the problem?"
They won't meet my eyes and I scoff at them.
" Look I want nothing from you, either of you. As soon as this bounty hunter is either bought or killed your stuck with me. I can take care of myself and my ready made family. Unless it has something to do with my protection. Don't bother acting like you care. Because we all know that's a lie." I bend down and put the sling on and pack my babies in one at a time. " Zara...." Hunter begins.
I hold a hand up to stop him. " I don't want to hear it. Don't speak to me unless it's something to do with my families safety. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get my family back to bed."
I stomp out of the gym and return to my quarters. I pass the others in the hall. " Zara everything alright?" Asks Tech
I say over my shoulder " Why don't you ask my Husbands? They seem to think I'm nothing but an obligation!! Something that they seem to see me and my ready made family as!! So no everything isn't alright Tech."
" Husbands?" Says Wrecker " Obligation?" echos Omega I look at them and let the tears fall.
" oh Zara...." Echo says. He comes towards me and wraps me in his arms. I feel worry and concern that aren't my own emotions. I look over Echos shoulder to see two sets of guilty pairs of eyes.
I pull away from Echos and move to my room. " When will we be out of hyperspace?" I ask quietly.
" We'll exit in a few hours." I nod as I move to my room.
" Echo would you come and wake me when we do?"
" Of course." I don't look back at the others as I move in a daze. I enter my room and place Cass and Rory down and slid down the wall beside their crib.
" If I wasn't good enough for Deke, then how could I have expected anything different from those two? Im worthless. Just an obligation....."
I sit there for hours feeling lonelier than I ever have. I'll have to leave them and run with my little ones. Hopefully I still have some friends who will help me.
A knock sounds at my door and I move to open it . Hunter stands there with Crosshairs behind him. " What is it?" I ask coldly
" Zara .... Please let us explain." " Are we coming out of Hyperspace at Ord Mantell?" I ignore him asking my own question.
" Yes we exited hyperspace about ten minutes ago." Says Crosshairs placing a hand on Hunters shoulder. I push past them and move to the cockpit. The little ones fell asleep, Oblivious to my pain.
" I think it would be best if I took the controls " I tell Tech as I enter the cockpit.
" Very well. We've been given clearance to land at landing pad DXV-10094.
I start the landing procedures as we enter the atmosphere. A few minutes later I Find the landing pad. I land The Reaper gently and shut the engines off.
" I'm going to grab some supplies I'll need for the little ones. Omega could you watch them for me while I go?" " of course." I smile at her and move to grab my cloak and lightsaber.
" I don't think this is such a good idea." Comments Hunter.
" You honestly think I care what you think?" I snark at him. Crosshairs speaks up.
" Zara I think your over reacting. If anything we're the ones who should be angry! You knew what that Ewok chief was doing!! And you let him! I mean come on are you that desperate for male companionship? If so I'm sure there are ways for you to....." I don't let him finish. I rear back and punch him with everything I have. He falls unconscious to the floor.
" Mir'oski" ( Dung for brains)
I move past the others and down the ramp to buy some cloth to make some clothes for my little ones. I will not be insulted , I am strong, I am fierce, I am sexy , I'm devine. I am Zaralina Rogue Princess. I will not bend or bow to anyone. Not even my own husbands.
