For the one out there that holds my heart.
She was always there with him and for him.
Her back pressed against his with a lightsaber in hand.
Her back pressed against his with his dual pistols in hand.
Her back pressed against his with nothing but the Force as her weapon.
Her back pressed against his with their hands and feet in chains and nothing but the sharp wit of her tongue.
Her back pressed against his telling him she had only one plan.
Fight like all hell was breaking loose.
And that was why she never made it to the Jedi Council like her Jedi brother in arms, Obiwan Kenobi.
Her mind was something that rivaled very few.
Her uniqueness was something that caused passion in her heart to be great.
Her passion was something that lead to the inevitable flaw as a Jedi.
She was compassionate. She cared. She liked. She loved. She crossed the line too easily.
Too carelessly.
But he followed her with his back against hers.
Her mind was too connected to Kenobi's and her heart too open him due to Battle Meld usage. For years and years she linked with him and eventually it got her into trouble outside of combat.
He found out she was in love.
When he found out, Anakin found out.
When Anakin found out, he told Padme for solace in their own love across the stars.
And because Anakin knew, eventually the whole 501st found out.
The string of revelation stopped there only to pick up again when her former master, Plo Koon, went on a mission with her and her clone love plus Wolffe.
And that's when her descent began.
Yoda called for her and she went. The next time her love saw her, she was in civilian clothing and asking for a night out.
That was the first time she wouldn't stop him.
She wanted him.
That was the first time they would relish in bliss.
It was the first time she would consider leaving the Jedi Order.
But she wouldn't.
She would always fight.
She would follow him where he went.
But she would make plans to get her love and his boys out when the Clone Wars ended.
And it would be successful but not without her turning back to back with her loving captain and using his pistols to stun the brothers advancing on them when the clones couldn't.
And then using the Force when it became too much.
He still remembered the ripple that passed when she sent the must powerful Force wave he had ever witnessed from her.
He still remembered the drain of her energy through Battle Meld in that moment.
He still remembered the rush of emotions she passed through to him.
She crumpled as he turned to catch her.
She realized as he looked down on her.
She was in it for the long run no matter what.
And she wanted out to give birth to their child.
She was always there.
She was always there until the day when her almost grown daughter had nightmares about the Sith coming for them and a taut, grown Togruta pleading that she would not leave him this time. And the image of a very war weathered Captain Rex begging for her to come to him after pressing his forehead against his old helmet.
And she ran. Her descent had finally wrapped up with her running for them both.
She left all her duties behind to draw the Sith Lord to her. She wanted to protect her family, her love. And she believed she would live. She knew in the Force she would.
Rex wasn't sure what to believe as he pressed his head into his old helmet like his daughter dreamed so long ago with her golden eyes peering down on him, remembering her mother's frantic nature from her dream.
He stayed in this position.
And he felt it.
The touch of her mind.
But it was only his completely grown daughter.
His daughter that was as physical as him and mentally capable as her mother.
She was always there.
Both of them were always there.
And Rex was going to be there for her. He was going to be there for his beautiful daughter. But he was going to find her mother, his ever lasting love.
Because he believed she was out there.
"Please, come back to me."
For clarity, his daughter actually is partially effected by the genes she inherited from him due to other accidents that occurred around her. Trust me my idea is solid but it's something I'm saving for other things.
