War Against Us (A Captain Rex x Reader Story)

Overwhelming Concern

It didn't take long for the 501st to get to Geonosis. Rex seemed pretty happy to see his brothers again. 

(.............)

The battle was intensifying rapidly. It seemed as if men were dropping faster and faster. You kept looking over at Rex to make sure he was okay. He made notice of that and you sensed him smiling under his helmet. The entire 501st, 212th and 71st was on Geonosis and it wasn't enough. You looked over to check up on Rex, and you didn't see him. In a panic, you started looking around everywhere. In horror, you found him on the ground, a small amount of smoke rising from his chest.

You ran to his side as fast as you could and ripped off his helmet, his eyes were shut. "Rex! Rex!", you scream, shaking his body back and forth. He wasn't waking up. "Medic, Medic, Kix! Kix get over here!" You scream even louder, frantically looking for Kix within all the crossfire. Kix wasn't in your sights, so you called him on the comlink. "Kix! I need you! Rex is down! He needs help!"

"I'll be right over there!" Kix panicked. You didn't notice it at first, but a commando droid was walking straight towards you and Rex. Once you heard the droid's gun fire, you turned around. Luckily, it missed both of you. The droid suddenly stopped and aimed it's gun straight at you and Rex. In fear, you held out your hand.

But then it happened.

Expecting to be dead, you slowly looked up. The droid stopped shooting and slowly started to walk backwards. You opened your eyes in confusion. The droid took one last shot at you. Your hand was still sticking out in front of you as you watched the shot hit your hand. But you felt nothing. The shot vanished when it hit your hand. A power that has only been know to belong to Siths. You slowly pulled your hand back and stared at it. By this point Kix was already at Rex's side.

"General (Y/LN), are you okay?" Kix asked, concerned about your look.

"Yes Kix, I'm fine, just please fix Rex, please," you begged, but you suddenly remembered the forbidden relationship, "He's a very import aspect to the 501st," you added, trying to cover up any emotions you may have shown.

Kix started to take off Rex's armor. "It looks fine General. No vital organs are injured. Nothing a little Bacta can't fix. It's just his upper shoulder," Kix informed you.

"Thank you Kix," You replied as you got up to continue the battle. The new "ability" you discovered about yourself really confused you. Regardless, you were most worried about Rex's health. When you were fighting, you felt so vulnerable to harm without Rex being there to insure your safety, but you trusted Kix, so you knew Rex would be okay.

(............)

The battle finally was dying down. The droids retreated into the factory and the GAR was surrounding them. It allowed plenty of time for new strategy. Anakin thought it would be best to blow it up from the inside, but it was a risky task. A task you knew you couldn't complete with Rex on your mind. 

"(Y/N)...(Y/N)...(Y/N)!" Anakin screamed at you. You instantly snapped out of your thoughts.

"Yes Anakin?" you asked, trying to get your mind together. 

"Are you distracted by something?" he asked with some sarcasm in his voice.

"No, not at all, just...just a bit worn out," you replied, wrapping your robe tighter around you. 

"Alright, so then let's get going!" Anakin commanded. You had no idea what the plan was so you just followed everyone. Following the crowd didn't pass for long. You assumed you were with the 501st.

"Uh, General (Y/LN). You're with us, remember?" Commander Cody of the 212th reminded you. 

"Oh yeah, right, I'm just tired, sorry guys," you quickly say, hopping into their battalion. "Let me introduce myself, I'm General (Y/N) (Y/LN) of the 501st. It's a pleasure to serve along side of you guys," you smile, trying to make them know you're aware of what your doing.

They all introduce themselves, then Cody asks for a minute with you. "Hey General, with all due respect, I am pretty sure you have no idea what the plan is."

"What? Of course I do!" You try to play off.

He took his helmet off. "I don't know if Rex told you about me, but Rex and I are very close and I am aware of you two and I understand that you are probably worried sick right now, so I can explain the plan to you if you want," Cody put a hand on your shoulder. 

You turn red, "Thank you Cody, I'd love to have it explained to me!" you laugh slightly. 

He explains the plan to you so you can actually lead the battalion. "Just wondering, where is Obi-Wan?" you asked, continuing to walk on the outskirts of the factory. 

"He was called back to the Jedi Council," Waxer answered, "We should be done here before he returns."

"Thank you Waxer!" You smile, "Alright, here's the entry point." You were stopped in front of  small air duct. 

"We're supposed to fit in there?" Boil asked in a very confused manner. 

"That was the plan," you shrug, using the force to rip off the vent.

You and the battalion all crawled into the vent. "I defiantly was not expecting to do this," Crys answered, attaching bombs to the sides of the ducts.

Before long, bombs were planted all along the central ventilation system. The 212th exited from a vent on the other side of the factory. 

"Let's just hope Anakin gets out safely," you sigh as you exit the vent. You lead the men out of the factory and back to the makeshift base, which was just a congregation of the GAR. 

"Where's Anakin?" you ask Gree, who was put in second in command for this battle. 

"He's still not back sir. He should be soon though!" Gree informs you as the 501st appears from the distance. Anakin wasn't with them though. You ran to the men.

"Where's Anakin?!" you ask, almost freaking out. 

"He's with Dooku, General!" Echo says in a hushed tone. 

You whole body tenses up. "I have to go get him!" You start to run towards the factory, but Fives tackles you to the ground.

"No General, he said he doesn't want help."

You see a Jedi Cruiser land next to the makeshift camp. 

"Guys, please. I must. Go, be safe. Please," you tell them. They all look shaken up. "Fives, you're in charge," you say, pushing Fives off of you and running towards the factory. 

"General NO!" Kix screams at you, but you ignored them. Before you could even get to the factory, the dual between Dooku and Anakin made its way outside. As Dooku was slicing at Anakin, you ran up from behind. Dooku spun around as his lightsaber hit yours. 

"You're brave, Jedi," he growled at you. Regardless, you kept putting your all into the fight. After what felt like forever, a rescue gunship came to get you and Anakin. Matchstick was the clone flying the gunship, so he knew how to slyly pick the two of you up. As Matchstick was closing in, you and Anakin both jumped into the ship, but before you could get in, you felt a sharp pain radiate across your back. You screamed in pain as Anakin reached out to grab your hand. He laid you on your stomach on the ship. The last thing you remembered was Anakin yelling commands to Matchstick to hurry up to get you on the Jedi Cruiser immediately.
