Bad batch one shots

Hunter 🍓

(Y/N) had only been 19 years old when the jedi purge started. She'd been newly knighted and was the chaperone for a gathering. It was forbidden for non-jedi, even clones, to come to Ilum. It was by will of the force that they'd been there and survived. She had also had Avix with her, the boy that later became her padawan. He was 14 and at the time the padawan of a dear friend of (Y/N)'s former master. (Y/N) and  Avix's masters had shared a master, making them almost siblings. In a way, he was her cousin that she now had guardianship over.

At 20, she'd been living on Pabu for a year. Her 15 year old padawan had been extremely helpful in helping teach the 6 younglings that had managed to survive with them. She'd helped transport refugees to Pabu once during the war and hadn't expected that the invitationfrom them would be one of permanent residence with the younglings. She made herself useful, translating artifacts with full context and teaching in the limited school system that had been set up on the island.

She'd been away for 3 days after feeling something in the force. She felt a youngling that needed help, it was the same feeling she'd had right after the purge. It had caused the 5 younglings in her care to become 6. Now that became 7. She landed on Pabu, seeing the work being done on the lower level. As if it'd just happened to be the 3 days she was gone for that an incident occurred. Abandoning her ship and holding the 4 year old youngling on her hip, she sought out Shep. He acted like he was in high spirits but she could feel the guilt he held. "(Y/N), welcome home. Who's our new friend?" He had a way with children. He was like a father to all on the island and was always so eager to help out with the younglings. "This is Jalaa." She looked down at the togruta girl on her hip. "This is our friend, Shep." She looked almost scared until her new master gently directed her to focus on what she felt from the man. Only kind intentions ever came from Shep and the child soon felt that.

She used the reconstruction of lower Pabu as a teaching opportunity for her younglings. She sent her padawan on to help with jobs that needed a bit of jedi 'magic' and instructed the younglings in the force. She also felt the clones through the force. When Shep mentioned them to her in passing she was rather apprehensive. She had a couple of days of feeling them through the force before actually coming face to face with them. She didn't feel the evil in their heads that she'd felt in so many clones after the purge. She trusted that it was the force's way of telling her that they were safe. So she made her ability with the force obvious when first interacting with them. They looked a bit different but they were just like the clones she'd met during the war. Too proud to admit when they struggled. She saw two of them struggling to carry an old piece of a pillar. She lifted it out of their hold with the force and said, "Don't worry, I've got that." If they were  going to shoot her, she had a weapon and wouldn't draw suspicion toward the younglings. "A jedi?" The one with an unfortunate hairline questioned. She placed the pillar piece into the pile that she was to later stack before responding. "If I say yes, promise not to shoot?" She joked. She knew that they wouldn't've hesitated if they were going to do it. This time, it was the one with long hair that spoke. "We, uh." He paused a little. "Had our chips removed." She didn't know what that meant but before she could ask one of the younglings ran up to her and tugged on her pant-leg. "(Y/N). Cain and Rena are fighting." She turned away from the clones to see one of the youngest of the younglings, the 6 year old she'd been led to through the force before arriving on Pabu. She crouched down to the child's level. "Well, that's not good. Thank you for telling me." She took the child's hand in hers as she stood and turned to the clones again. "See you around..."

"Hunter!"

"See you around, Hunter." She emphasised his name before turning and walking off with the child.

Some days after the reconstruction of lower Pabu, Hunter wondered if the woman he'd met was real. He didn't dare ask the others about her, embarrassed about the fact a woman he didn't even know the name of was all he could think about.
