Hera's POV:
After I put the Ghost in hyperspace to Atollon, where we could get better help for Ezra, I go to the med bay. My mother instincts kick in and I quickly go to Ezra's side, holding his hand. As I look at his face, I don't see a young, reckless teenager, I see a smart, wise young man. Not long afterward, I land the Ghost on Chopper Base. Medics come rushing to the Ghost to help Ezra. I sigh and lean back in my chair. Kanan had told me what happened. The fight, the bomb, what Ezra had said. As I get up to see Ezra, when I am halfway there, Ahsoka calls for me. When I enter, Ahsoka spots me and smiles."I'm glad to see you Hera." I smile and nod.
"I'm glad to see you too, Ahsoka." As she leads me to the table, Commander Sato joins us. Ahsoka starts,
"Hera, you have been on so many missions, and they have helped the rebellion so much." Commander Sato nods.
"And since, as everybody could tell, you need a vacation." He and Ahsoka share looks and smile. He turns back to me, and what he says next surprises me. "That's why Ahsoka and I are giving you the next month off!" I smile.
"Thank you so much, Commander Sato. But are you sure?" He and Ahsoka nod.
"You all have been working too hard. You need one." I nod.
"Thank you so much!" As I leave, I contact the rest of my team. "Kanan, Sabine, Zeb, you'll never guess what Commander Sato just told me! We get to have a vacation for the next month!" As I hear Sabine and Zeb say
"Awesome" and
"Neat," I worry what will happen with Ezra and Kanan.
"I'm going to check on Ezra, guys. I'll be back on the Ghost in a minute, okay?"
~~~~~~
As I enter, I looked around the white, bland room. My eyes fall on Ezra, and I immediately run over to him. He is attached to multiple machines such as a breathing mask, a heart monitor, an intravenous ( IV) pump, a PCA pump, etc. As I sit there, Ezra's hand twitches. I look towards his eyes, hoping that they might open. As his hand twitches a 3rd, his eyes begin to open. I tighten my hold on his hand, not wanting him to freak out, and for me to make sure that he is still here. As he opens them more, panic fills his eyes, but when they land on me, they turn to relief. As he closes his eyes, his hand tightened around mine.
"Hera," He said, softly. I smiled.
"Hey, Ezra. It's good to see you again." He smiled, but then his lip started quivering.
"Hera, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have run away. I should've come back..." As tears rolled down his eyes, I frowned.
"Ezra, it wasn't your fault." He shook his head.
"No. I could've, should've, come back." As he shifts in the bed, he grunts as he realizes that he isn't able to move that much. "When will I be able to get out of this..." I shake my head and laugh.
"The doctor says you may be able to leave tomorrow. And if you like, you can stay with us and go on a vacation, or you will be dropped off on Lothal." As his eyes shoot open, I can see that he is surprised that I asked him that. Even though he tried to hide it, I could see the blush that was coming to his cheeks.
"I'll...I'll think about it." I stand up and smile.
"That's all I could ask for. If you make up your mind, just tell Ahsoka or Commander Sato. I'll see you tomorrow." I let his hand go and I leave.
As I enter the Ghost, I go straight to Kanan's room. When I knock the first time, I don't get a response. When I knock the second time, I hear shuffling and the door opens, and Kanan stares at me, eyes and facial expression blank.
"Kanan, I need to talk to you." Kanan doesn't say anything, but steps back, allowing me to enter. I didn't move, and I just said what I needed to, straightforward, "You know that we have a vacation, and since Ezra is here, I asked him to come with us or go back to Lothal." Kanan jerked his head toward me, his face a look of sheer horror and surprise.
"But Hera-" I put my hand up.
"I made my decision." I turned and walked out.
The Next Day: Hera's POV:
Not long after we had finished breakfast, I had gotten a call from Ahsoka, saying Ezra was fine and agreed to come with us. I smile
"Tell him to come to the Ghost, Ahsoka." She said she would. After Ezra left, she asked,
"How's Kanan?" I sigh.
"He's upset that Ezra's coming with us, he's a total mess, but other than that, he's doing fine. How are you?" She laughed.
"Tired. I wish I could come with you Hera, but I must stay here." I chuckled.
"Me too. Well, I have to go. We still have to pick out where we will be vacationing." Ahsoka smiled.
"Have fun Hera. Don't go looking for trouble." As I shut off her holo, I sigh and think 'I hope it doesn't find us either'.
Ezra's POV:
As I walk towards the Ghost, I'm surprised that I feel nervous. Even though I've been... away for a long time, it's not like everybody has changed. Well, I know I have since the ration bars I had taken after the ...incident, lasted me about a year, and in that time I had a job at Joe's, working as a bartender, and after that, I had found another job. I moved around Lothal and when I didn't have a job there, I would go to Garel. I sigh as I near the Ghost.
"I'm going to kill Emily when I get back," I say out loud. I had told her that I knew Kanan and the rest were coming and to say I went to Garel. I had also hoped that they would leave after that, but no. They had to say hello to Joe. As I enter the Ghost, Chopper, Sabine, and Zeb greet me.
"Hey kid, long time no see?" Zeb says with a smirk on his face. I look down,
"Yeah..." I could tell that Sabine gives Zeb a look before she speaks.
"Ezra, I know it's been a long time, but you will be with us for the next month." Oh, she has definitely changed. Her hair color was white with purple tips, armor decorated differently. On her left shoulder pad, she had a white owl. Her armor was mostly purple with red and orange. It seems as if she had gotten taller, but so have I. I laugh. Sabine and Zeb look at me, confused.
"I'm just as tall as you." Sabine laughs and Zeb smiles. I hear a few beeps coming from Chopper, translating it to 'Have you forgotten about me?!' And then some quiet beeps, translating to ' I've missed you'. I smile.
"I've missed you too, Chop. I've really missed all of you." As they lead me into the kitchen, I find Hera sitting with, "Kanan." I say, avoiding his eyes.
"Ezra." He says, avoiding my eyes. As Hera comes up behind me and hugs me, I lean into her touch. Later, as we catch up, telling of our adventures over the past 4 years, Kanan is nowhere to be seen. I go into the now, again, shared room of Zeb and me, I groan as I lay down. The doctor had told me what happened, and that I wasn't fully healed. It was only my head that still hurt, along with the occasional bruise here and there, but other than that, everything else was fine. As I drift into sleep, I feel somebody poking at my mental shield. I raise them higher, but the poking continues. I reach out to the Force user, but I recognize it as an old friend...
