Anakin stumbled into the med ship. He was absolutely exhausted. Their unit of clone troopers had taken the brunt of a final offense by the Separatists. The battle was won, but many of his men were wounded.

He quickly caught sight of his Padawan, crouching next to an injured clone.

"You can't heal them all, you're exhausted" he said gently, resting a hand on her shoulder.

Kiara gritted her teeth and ignored him. She kept her focus on Marc, pouring healing energy into his ruptured stomach. Slowly, the walls of the organ closed, and she could feel the internal bleeding slow.

She sat back, sweating and trying not to gasp for breath. Black spots danced before her eyes.

A large hand entered her vision. Reluctantly, she took it and allowed Anakin to pull her to her feet.

"Time to rest, there'll be more Separatists to fight tomorrow".

Kiara barely heard him as she flopped down on an empty cot.

She felt him cover her with a blanket and smiled gratefully. Within seconds, she was fast asleep.

Anakin stared down at his now-asleep Padawan.

She had smiled at him. A real smile too, not one of those fake ones.

He sank down beside her cot.

A clone sat down next to him.

"She's a special one, Sir" Jak said softly.

"I know that" Anakin told him, looking at the many clones she had healed. About twenty of them were going to be fully healed and ready for battle by the next day. The other ten would have to have one more day of rest.

Still, it must have taken an incredible amount of power to heal that many men.

"How does she do it?" Anakin wondered out loud.

"She cares about us" Jak shrugged.

"You're willing to sacrifice your own needs when you care about people" he said.

Anakin glanced at the clone as if seeing him for the first time.

"How do you know that?" He asked.

Jak smiled and stood.

"I've seen it" he said, gently brushing a stray piece of Kiara's hair from her angelic face.

He walked away, leaving Anakin in deep contemplation.
