The Jedi from Earth

The Past Hurts

Cal sighed as he cut the shirt from Nikki's torso and peeled it off as he winced at the blood. He wiped the area and sighed as he saw the newest burn marks from Darth Vader's lightsaber one week ago, right where the blaster hole was. He quickly stitched it wrapped the area tightly, and looked around for an extra shirt. He grumbled as he didn't see one, so he grabbed her lightsabers and wrapped them in rags before putting them inside his satchel. He grabbed his lightsabers and left the room and was not surprised when he saw the medic and Captain waiting outside, 

"Do you have an extra shirt?"

Kix frowned and nodded, 

"Yes, is the one she came in not suitable?"

Cal shook his head, 

"I had to cut it off to get to her wound."

Kix frowned, 

"How bad is it?"

Cal shrugged, 

"Not as bad as she's had before. Just a few stitches."

Kix frowned, 

"Did you-"

"Yes. I know how to take care of her."

Rex sighed, 

"I'll get her an extra shirt. General Skywalker is on his way to talk to you,"

Cal nodded, 

"Okay,"

When Rex left, Cal handed Kix his satchel, 

"Inside this are Sora's lightsabers. Do not look at them. Can I trust you?"

Kix glanced at the bag and nodded, 

"Yes, sir. Why are you giving them to me?"

Cal sighed, 

"If worse comes to worse, I can not touch them,"

Kix frowned, 

"What do you mean?"

Cal raised his hands and showed that he no longer had his gloves on, 

"I have a force ability that makes it hard for me to touch objects without the gloves Sora made for me. They got destroyed in the fight. I can't touch Sora's lightsabers without them affecting me in a bad way. Until she wakes up, I want you to hold onto them for me. Think of it as a test to see how loyal you truly are,"

Kix frowned but immediately saluted to him, 

"I won't let you down, Commander Axel,"

Cal winced and shook his head, 

"Remember, I have no rank. I am not a part of the Jedi Order,"

Kix immediately frowned at the new information, 

"How are you so skilled in the force?"

Cal smirked and nodded toward the door, 

"You should see Sora using her full abilities. I'll explain our story when Master Skywalker comes,"

Kix nodded, 

"Alright, how did you know General Skywalker?"

"I know him by name. Overheard smugglers and pirates talking about him,"

Kix smirked, 

"He does tend to get a reputation,"

Cal nodded, 

"That's very true,"

Rex came back with a black shirt and handed it over to Cal. Cal carefully took it from his hands and walked back inside the room. Rex glanced at Kix and noticed the new satchel around him,
