Bounty Hunter

⚁

I had took the two back a quicker way when I saw sand people “drop the parts, he made it back” one of the sound around hitting my side with a sharp knife of sorts “drop the parts, I’ll be back soon” I said as they dropped the few parts running away as I grabbed my side, “there’s a first aid kit inside” he mumbled as we went to walk out separate ways, being pulled back together.

He huffed walking with me as I lightly pushed the egg knowing the kid was asleep “you can sit” he said as I worked on unclipping my chest piece hissing at the pressure it was putting on my side.

He carefully grabbed my hand unclipping it with his free hand “your not that bad” I said as he huffed “you don’t know me” he said as I held my shirt up so he could see the cut “I would be dead by now, and you would have took the kid” I said as he dabbed a wet cloth on my side causing my to hiss again.

“I already told you, these cuffs are getting annoying” he cut himself off to take the cuffs off of both our wrist “I need your help with the kid” he finished as he stuck a needle into my skin pinching it together “doesn’t this break some rule?” I asked as his chest rose and fell signaling he laughed “somehow it doesn’t, as long as I don’t see your face” I nodded watching as he removed one of his gloves and the other I huffed as he finished.

“I doubt you really need my help with him, he’s a lot more capable then you think” I wanted to smile but I forgot about the whole helmet thing so I just gave up on friendly gestures “yeah but I know nothing about him, so if you could help me understand him then well I can drop you off wherever you want” he said as I just laughed.

We had been up in space for a while and I was drained, I started dozing off slightly watching the stars fly past the window.

“look kid, you can have this I need it for my ship” I softly scolded the kid who kept attempting to steal the metal ball.

He just blabbered at me and I groaned handing it over “you win this time” I looked over my left shoulder to see the girl had fallen asleep, or so I assumed the helmet made it hard to see.

I pulled the weapon she had off my side “I wonder where you got this?” I questioned out loud carefully setting it back down as I huffed grabbing her bag to move it and put the weapon back in it only for a picture to fall out, it was of a girl and boy both about 16 or so.

The girl was laughing about something with her head thrown back and the boy was smiling at whoever had the camera, the girl was holding his hair in between her fingers and scissors it her other hand.

“it’d be nice if you didn’t touch my stuff” her voice came through the modulator and I was brought back to hear the kid crying and to see her gloved hand taking the picture “I wasn't- it just fell out” I said as she grabbed her bag shoving the photo back inside it “then put it back in the bag, don’t stare at it like some creep” she grabbed the kid standing outside or the cockpit leaving me feeling bad for some reason.

I rocked the Kid until he calmed down and I set him back in the egg shaped crib walking back in the cockpit just as we landed “I wasn’t attempting to look through your stuff” he said as I glared at him “it was my brother” I mumbled clipping my lightsaber back on my waist.

“Who was the girl? She was very pretty” I could almost punch him with his words “she wouldn’t like you very much, plus she was far to young in that picture” I pushed the egg in front of me walked out of the cockpit  and down the ladder “what are we doing here anyway?” I asked as he handed me the kid “well I’m a bounty hunter” he huffed as I froze holding the kid close to me “you will not touch him, understand?” I said angry, just when I thought he was ok he pulls this shit.

“look I need the money this is giving me, if you want to try and save that kid you can happily try” he took the kid from me leaving me trailing behind him upset.

After he gave the kid up I was torn apart.

“your telling me you gave him up for some stupid metal” I argued as he stopped turning to me “if you want the suicide mission of saving that kid then do it” his hands were harshly placed on my arms and he was slightly looking down at me “ok” I said walking away towards the building.

I stood there looking in between the Mandalorian hideout and the girl who was walking away from me angrily.

I sighed knowing she could handle herself and I walked down with the beskar plates.

“where’s the girl?” the Armorer asked and I looked away, “she wanted the kid” I said as she turned her head finishing my shoulder plates “and you didn’t go after her, that’s a death wish” she replied and I stood up letting her put the armor on “I don’t know why I’m worried for her” I said shaking my head “it’s because you care for her, it’s a normal thing to happen” I could hear the smile in her voice as I made sure my guns were secured and everything was ok

“I guess I’m going to make sure she’s ok” I huffed walking to the building

“We can talk about this!” I yelled holding my hand to the bloody wound on my side, looking to the one on my leg “your taking something that belongs to me” a guy yelled as I tucked the child behind me.

I peaked around the corner shooting one of the droids before hiding back behind the rubble.

When I went to peak back around an array of blaster shots went off distracting the stormtroopers and I went for the bots with the kid in one of my hands I had managed to get through the droids and helped the mysterious person with the rest of the troopers

“maybe the armor could have waited” the Mandalorian's voice was harsh and I laughed “I survived” I shrugged, the second he placed the kid in his crib my hand was stock to my side like it was glued on.

“You barely survived, I had some leftover beskar let’s go” he put my free arm around his shoulders and he placed the other one around my waist, helping my limp to the Mandalorian hideout.

Once there the Armorer seemed surprised to see me “care to tend to her wounds while I make her armor?” she said as he helped me to a much more secluded area.

“I’m impressed” he said as I looked down to his helmet “whys that?” I asked and he carefully took my old beskar off wrapping my leg up “you made it surprisingly far without getting hurt” he looked up at me and something flashed inside of me, whether it attraction or simply care, I don’t know but it was a new feeling and I didn’t know how to feel about it.

“Meria, I think it’s only fair we have a trade” he said and I raised my brow “what do you want in return?” I asked and he chuckled

“who was in the photo?” was all he asked and I handed the photo to him,

“I thought bounty hunters were observant” I teased walking out with a heavy limp.
