Sora, that's her name now. That's what she goes by ever since the one she called her older brother turned on all of them. The last time she went by her true name, her brothers were fighting by her side. Now they hunt her down among the other Jedi
Cal crossed his arms as the door closed behind them,
"Nikki, what are we doing here?"
Nikki glanced at him and frowned,
"What do you mean?"
Cal sighed and looked at her,
"We are still here. I get it, you got stabbed. But, you never liked staying near other people for a long time. If you wanted out, we would have been out of here on the Mantis already,"
Nikki sighed and sat down on the floor,
"Cal...Ever since the purge, I have done nothing other than run. Yes, I did train with Master Kenobi and Master Yoda, but that was all. When things get weird or comfortable, I run. Hell, I hunted down Boba Fett just to give him Astor for a bit so I could try finding other survivors."
Cal sat down in front of her and put his hand on her leg,
"Nikki, why stop now? You helped me on Bracca, you saved my skin and we both found the Mantis Crew, we found another family."
"Because...you may be my force twin or whatever the fuck our bond is, but those guys out there? I told you, they were my brothers. I was their little sister...then...well...you know,"
"You never forgave yourself."
Nikki nodded,
"I should have tried harder. Fives knew about the chip, hell he almost died because of it...yet, I did n-"
Cal shook his head and stood up,
"Nikki. You could not have possibly known any of this was going to happen!"
Nikki stood up and shook her head,
"I could have stopped it!"
"No, you could not have!"

Nikki sighed and looked down,
"I failed my family. I should have known better, Cal."
"Well, then I should have too!"
Nikki frowned,
"Why?"
Cal rolled his eyes,
"I heard Master Windu and Master Yoda talking one time. They were talking about how strange our bond was. Said that it was possible that we would be able to sense what the other was if it got strong enough. So, if you were to sense this plot, I should have been able to as well,"
Nikki sighed,
"Don't carry that burden,"
Cal smirked and put a hand on her shoulder,
"Nikki, your burden is mine to share. Hell, we have raised that kid out there for many years together. I don't think we failed Astor, and if Order 66 never happened, maybe we would have never met Astor...kriff, maybe I would have never met Merrin, and that thought scares me,"
