Age of Rebellion

Beautiful Eyes

0.7 ABY~

Teegan and Micky were quick to unlock their own handcuffs, pulling their lightsabers out and instantly killing the stormtroopers. The bounty hunter's eyes widened and he began to make a run for it. 

"Teegan, no!" Micky yelled after Teegan as he began to run after the bounty hunter, out of the cantina.

Micky looked from the exit to Sage who laid there, her body lifeless. Bodhi had bent down next to her, his hands cuffed behind his back. "Dammit," Micky muttered, watching Teegan leave his sight completely. Micky turned back and used the Force to unlock all the handcuffs.

Bodhi instantly reached for Sage, his hands gliding onto her neck. Han sat there in shock whilst Leia began calling BB-8 and the ship for a way out of the place. Cassian then took charge, placing his fingers on Sage's neck and feeling a very small, faint pulse. He began applying pressure to the knife wound, not taking the knife out in case it would do more damage coming out.

"Leia, you take Han and Luke and pull the ship around, land in one of the taken landing ports so they don't ask for information!" Cassian yelled to Leia.

He turned towards Jyn and Micky, "You take Bodhi and get our goddamn weapons back—"

"No, no," Bodhi protested, stuttering, "I'm not leaving her side."

Cassian thought of how he would be if he were in Bodhi's position and Jyn was in Sage's. He nodded understandably. He turned back towards Jyn, "Work on contacting the Alliance and make sure any hidden cameras in the room and on the way to the landing ports get taken out, GO!"

Jyn and Micky nodded, running towards the entrance of the cantina. The room was almost empty now, it was just Bodhi, Cassian and Sage's scattered breaths. Soon, Leia came through on the comlink, "Were at the closest landing port to the cantina, we have a medical kit ready."

Cassian nodded as he finished wrapping a torn part of his shirt around Sage's waist, tightening it. Bodhi held her face in his hand and Cassian looked at Bodhi for a moment, "Bodhi!" 

Bodhi snapped back and looked to Cassian who was also trying to hold himself together. He would never forgive himself if anything happened to Sage. "We've got to carry her to the ship, okay? We can't move her too much, we don't want to shift the knife around."

Bodhi nodded, tears causing his vision to become blurry. But he nodding, understanding Cassian's words. Bodhi slid his hands underneath Sage's back and Cassian slid his under her thighs and knees. They slowly picked her up and began moving towards the entrance of the cantina. 

Thankfully Sage didn't wake up during the middle of being carried. It was still dark out which made it relatively easy to get her to the ship secretively but it was rather hard to keep her out of sight from the stormtroopers who were called to the cantina.

"We've got to go," Cassian said, stepping onto the ramp of the ship, "they'll find the dead stormtroopers in the cantina any minute. Go now!"

Han and Luke piloted the ship out of the planet's atmosphere as soon as possible, pulling into lightspeed. Teegan dropped down by Sage's side, opposite of Bodhi who sat there, Sage's hand clenched in his.

Teegan looked at the position of the knife, it was right between two ribs. "We need to get the knife out," he told Bodhi.

"What?" Bodhi looked up at him like he was crazy, "None of us have medical experience, except for Sage."

Teegan almost chuckled slightly, "The Order made it required to take medical classes at the Temple when the Clone Wars started."

Bodhi's mouth parted and he placed a kiss on Sage's hand, "All right, what- what do you need help with?"

Teegan noticed his stutter, as well as the fact that Sage and Bodhi were in a relationship. Teegan shook the thoughts out of his head, "The knife seems to be lodged between two of her ribs," he paused, looking at the knife, noticing that the bleeding had stopped. "If we move it at the right pace and direction we should be able to get it out no problem."

Bodhi scoffed, thinking that Teegan was joking. Bodhi looked at him, "We can't risk it, and besides, what if the knife is lodged into her lung. We don't have the equipment for it."

Teegan looked at Bodhi, realizing he could've been right. But Teegan wanted to risk it anyways. He leaned back, "It's your call."

Bodhi nodded, "We're almost to Hoth." He held Sage's lifeless hand in his own hands, his lips pressed to her fingers. He had just gotten her back, he was not going to lose her again. He looked down at her face, just keep those beautiful eyes alive.

"This is Jyn Erso requesting a landing pad and medical ASAP," Jyn put in through the comlink to the rebels at Hoth as they pulled into the atmosphere. She sent over the access codes.

"Permission granted, good to have you back Captain. Medical will be at landing pad four when you arrive," The rebel responded. Jyn was happy to be home.

As soon as they landed, Cassian "accidentally" pushed Teegan out of his place by Sage's side, looking to Bodhi, "You ready?"

Bodhi nodded. Sage had been unconscious for the entire ride home and he couldn't tell if he was relieved for that or worried. He supposed it was a mix of both.

Him and Cassian picked Sage up and that's when she woke up, Bodhi rolled his eyes at the timing. Sage was always very good at that. She woke up screaming at the pain, her arm going to Bodhi's shoulder as they carried her out and to the stretcher-life vehicle, placing her down very carefully. 

Teegan wanted to get a seat but instead Bodhi, Cassian and Jyn took the spots, hopping on. Bodhi held onto Sage's hand, she tightened her grip and pressed her lips together from the pain. She began taking deep breaths and Jyn, Cassian, Bodhi and even the rebel who was driving the vehicle were surprised at how able she was to withstand pain.

They were soon at the medical bay, the knife still lodged in Sage's body. Bodhi gave Sage a look as they were getting ready to lift her up and place her on the bed in the medical room. She clenched her teeth, "Just do it," she muttered.

Cassian and Bodhi looked at each other and put their hands underneath her, getting ready to lift her up. Once they did, Sage's hand went to Bodhi's shoulder, gripping it tightly. They carefully carried her through the door and stumbled over to the bed, setting her down slowly. 

Sage let go of Bodhi, falling unconscious as the medical droid practically shoved him out of the way. Bodhi watched from afar, Cassian debated leaving her side or not, to give the medics room to get the knife out and bandage her up. He then backed up and stood by Jyn at the corner of the room.

Jyn watched as they began to take of her shirt and decided to grab Cassian's arm and guide him out of the room. Bodhi still sat there though, completely unfazed by it. He watched with the tip of his finger in his mouth, biting down on it nervously. 

They removed her shirt and he saw them, the scars. It worried him to the core. He passed the time by trying to guess where she was and how she got the scars, cause she certainly didn't have them before she left.

He watched as the medical droid began sliding the knife out, slowly and carefully. Once it was out, it pressed a thick cloth to the wound. It could've just been the environment of Hoth, but Bodhi realized how pale and slightly blue Sage's body looked. It worried him even more, which he didn't even know was possible.

She was going to be fine, he thought.
