"Come on. it's time to get you off the planet," James said as he puts on his stormtrooper suit once again.

He was going to escort me to where we are meeting for me to get picked up. I didn't know who Drax got Asoka to come to get me but whoever it was had already sent out a signal to us saying they were already here.

"You make sure you keep in contact with me kid. Need to hear your voice now and then." Drax told me as we hugged goodbye in the alleyway.

"I promise... You stay safe Okay?" I whispered to him. James nodded to me that we needed to go so after pulling up my hood we left the comfort of the shadows and walked towards the landing docks.

"Keep your head down," James whispered to me and I briefly nodded as I followed him keeping my head down looking at his boots to guide me.

As we got closer to the docs I could hear steps getting closer to us. I saw a pair of boots step into my visual, I stiffened up in worry hoping we didn't get caught. As my heart beat faster in fear when I felt a hand clamp down on my shoulder. That's when I was so glad to hear a voice whisper my name.

"Rebekah..."

I look up to see it was Caleb looking down at me. But his smile quickly dropped to worry and a frown when he saw the bruises on my face. I squeezed his hand that was on my shoulder as I sent a smile to him in comfort saying that I would be okay. That's when a head of blue hair popped into my visual. I sent a smile at the kid.

"Your ride is ready my lady..." Ezra playfully bowed as we walked towards their ship once more.

"I'm glad to see all of you," I told them as I walked with Ezra while Caleb and James walked behind us.

"Glad to see you still alive after Kannan shot you the last time we saw each other. That was pretty brave to get an actual shot and not just stunned." Ezra joked

"Believe me, I was afraid Kannan might miss. He always had a bad aim growing up." I joke but Ezra looked at me in confusion.

"You two knew each other when you were kids?" He asked

"He didn't tell you?" I asked as he shake his head. I frowned as I felt anger boil in the pit of my stomach. Of course, he wouldn't tell them! Such a Dume thing to do!

I look over at Caleb angrily as he just lifts a brow in confusion. We had got to the ramp of the ship when I turned towards James to say my goodbyes.

"You be careful in there okay? Get out as soon as you can." I tell him

"Don't worry princess, I got this." He winked at me before putting his helmet back on and waving goodbye as he walked out the landing dock.

"Well, let's get you off this planet," Caleb said but I just walked past him without a glance and followed Ezra.

If I would have turned back I would have seen the confused and lost expression as he held up his hands. He followed with a shake of his head. When he walked up the ramp he was surprised to see the rest of the ghost crew already greeting the new passenger.

"You can bunk with me," Sabine said as she led Rebekah towards the rooms.

Ezra and Zeb had followed them as Chopper, Hera, and Kannan were the only ones left. Hera looked at Kannan with a raised eyebrow as he closed the ramp. He hadn't said a word since she got here.

"Kannan..." She grabbed his attention.

"I'm fine." He grumbled and walked past her towards the front to get the ship to take off. Hera followed once more.

"You have to say something to her. Can't stay quiet forever you know." She told him as she pulled them off the planet.

"I said I'm fine Hera. Let's just get her back to Asoka and get to our next mission." He said as he sat in the co-piolet seat.

"I get it.."

"What?" Kannan grumbled

"You're afraid." She teased

"What are you talking about?" He sighed

"You're afraid of your feelings for her." She smiled at him as she teased him as any sister would.

"Drop it Hera. Just... let's get going already. I'm going to go meditate." He quickly changed the topic and left.

She smirked to herself as she put in the coordinates to regroup with the other ships of rebels.

Kanan grumbled to himself as he went to his room. Unfrankly for him he bumped into the person he didn't want to bump into at the moment.

"Careful!" He snapped. He didn't mean to but he knew he needed to keep his distance from her. A Jedi doesn't form attachments.

"I should say the same for you! Don't want your friends to find out where you come from." She snapped back. In Rebekah's mind, she thought the reason Caleb hide who he is from his crew was that he was ashamed of where he came from. Ashamed of her. She left to talk to Hera about Fulcrum without another word to him.

He sighed to himself and pulled his hair as he watched her walk away from him.

"You okay Kannan?" Sabine's voice had scared him as he turned around and faced her.

"Peachy..." He mumbled as he opened his door then shut it after him.

"Captain Hera?" I knocked on the wall to let her know I was there.

"Miss Woods? Please take a seat, and call me Hera." Hera asked.

"Then you can call me Rebekah. How did you and your crew become part of the rebellion, if I may ask?"

" Each one of us had different reasons to be here just as you do. Mostly due to our families. The crew started about 10 to 12 years ago. Started with me the Kanan, Sabine, Zeb then Ezra. We mostly did small things to help out like taking weapons off the streets, but after getting into contact with Fulcrum our missions started to get bigger, more important."

"Wow...And here I was being waited on hand and foot, not doing things quite exciting like you all. You risked your lives every day..." I said as I thought about the dangers they must have put themselves through every day while being on the run from the Empire.

"Now that's not true. Thanks to you, the rebellion has been having a fighting chance against the Empire. With you being under the noses of the Empire, they never expected you to be the spy. Thank you for the millions of lives saved every day. Besides, I could tell it didn't come without a cost..." She softly said as she traced under her eye.

"That's another thing...My-He will stop at nothing to get me back. He always saw me as a trophy. And He won't stop, he will kill anyone who gets in his way. I haven't got the chance to talk to Fulcrum so I don't know the plan. I need to know that by leaving Corellia, I haven't put all of you and countless others in terrible danger. That I didn't just sign your death warrants." I pleaded with her.

"I promise...You haven't put us in danger. Saving you was the right thing to do, and Fulcrum knows that. We're taking you to her as we speak. The ship is constantly moving so you won't be in one place for too long. Okay?" Hera had put her hand on mine in comfort and I look at her and nod at her.
