I don't know what to say about this one

TW for major character death

Ahsoka couldn't stop moving her fingers around the side of the holotable. The hole in her stomach just opened up even more the longer Anakin and Rex were gone. It had been something she picked up as a Padawan. Sometimes, Anakin or Obi-Wan, sometimes even Rex would be gone for a mission without her. She wouldn't be able to rest until she knew they were safe. 

"Ahsoka, worrying will do us no good." Obi-Wan advised her. Part of her liked to get that level-headed advice once more. The other part wanted him to leave her alone. Obi-Wan and the Resolute didn't feel like home. Not anymore. It felt like a new, unfamiliar place. One she had to scope out before letting her guard down. Still, it was better than it feeling like another assignment. She was done with those. Or so she hoped. 

"Mhm." Ahsoka said. She didn't take in the advice. She was too busy staring at the security cameras. They had nothing. The droids and Dooku just suddenly didn't appear on the cameras.

Obi-Wan rolled his eyes and sighed. He didn't say anything.

Ahsoka looked at the cameras more closely. Her eye caught something at the corner of the camera showing the medbay. She leaned in and looked closer. It was a droid's foot that looked suspended in the air. And it wasn't moving.

"Holy shit." Ahsoka swore.

"Language."

"Language, Commander."

"Ahsoka, watch your language."

Ahsoka almost smiled at the clones and Obi-Wan's chorus of telling her not to swear. She'd missed the 501st.

"No, look." She pointed at the droid's foot on the screen. "They paused the security cameras. That's why nothing is happening."

Obi-Wan placed his hand on his chin. "That certainly is something. Maybe we should—"

He was cut off by a loud banging on the door.

"Sir, signs say that someone is trying to get into this room." One of the clones reported. Ahsoka wanted to roll her eyes at the obvious.

"Dooku." She snarled.

"Where's Anakin when you need him?" Obi-Wan said as he grabbed his lightsaber and prepared to activate it.

Ahsoka raised her fists. If she didn't have anything else, she'd use her own physical strength to fight the Sith that ruined her life. Not that she wanted that life back. Well, maybe she did. She was still figuring things out.

There were several more bangs on the door until it finally broke.

Ahsoka flinched when the doors busted open and collapsed with a loud bang to the ground.

Immediately, Dooku stepped into the room, gesturing to his droids to stay out of it. Two of them held a large metal beam. That was probably what got the doors open. Part of her wondered why Dooku didn't just use his lightsaber. It'd be easier and save some time. Maybe he just wanted to establish the vibe.

The droids listened, but kept their blasters pointed at the clones. Dooku looked around, probably for her. She was right when his eyes rested on her.

"Where's Anakin and Rex?" Obi-Wan demanded.

"I was going to ask you the same thing." Dooku said smugly. He looked away from Ahsoka to Obi-Wan.

"I know you did something to them." Obi-Wan declared. He'd always been stubborn.

"Ah, still quick to judge, I see." Dooku looked back to Ahsoka. "You see how they judge everything so quickly? Once they realize you are not of use to them they will cast you out. If you would just join me—"
