Out of Hope

The Questions Of The Ghost

Sabine, Hera, Kanan, Zeb and Chopper were waiting in the common room, to find out how the mission went. Sabine starts to quietly sob as she decides to wait in her room. Sabine opened the door to her room when a rebel soldier ran into her, "Why are you on the Ghost soldier? This is off limits unless commanded by an officer or if General Syndulla gives the permission." Sabine scolded the soldier, "Sorry, commander Wren, but i got orders from General Mon Mothma to brief the entire Ghost crew that the rescue mission was a success, even though Commander Bridger is severely injured." The rebel soldier explained as she was running past Sabine.

When she heard that, Sabine started running towards the infirmary to see Ezra. "How is he? Will he make it?" Sabine asked the medical droid, "Yes, there is a 90% chance that patient 152 789 will survive." The droid answered in a non-caring tone that all droids have. "Dammit, why did you have to ever leave?" Sabine was talking to herself. Suddenly a hand was placed on to her shoulders at which she flinched, "He's going to be okay, right?" Zeb asked Sabine. "Yeah, the medical droid said that his survival chance is 90%."Sabine responded, but then the droid came and corrected Sabine, "Negative, he has a 90% chance to NOT survive." The entire crew was sad, with Sabine asking, "What changed then?" "We discovered a 5 inch lightsaber wound across his chest. We are treating it the best we can, but it's unlikely for him to survive." The droid responded. "I'l go and brief General Mon Mothma on this development." Hera said as she didn't think that Ezra could survive.

2 WEEKS LATER

"Huh? Where am i?" Ezra asked himself "Commander Bridger, welcome back." an odd looking clone said. "Who are you?" Ezra asked, "I am RC-1262 or Scorch, I was a part of a rescue team sent to save you." Scorch responded. "Oh... How long was i out?"Ezra asked as he knew that they were in a different place, Scorch replied "You were in a coma for about 2 weeks, roughly." "Where is the Ghost crew?" Ezra asked again, "Currently, they are on a mission. Now look, Commander Bridger, I know you have a lot of questions, but I need to report Boss and who will then report to the Rebel High Command that you have woken up." Scorch replied, as they heard a ship land.

'Sabine... now SHE is coming... Worst way to wake up' Ezra thought to himself  'Being rescued was the last thing i needed... I know, I'l just pretend to be still in coma' Ezra thought as he *fell sleep*. "Dammit Ezra, why did you need to runaway and get captured? I can't live anymore without you... Please, wake up." Stunned at what he just heard, he started to accidentally move. "Ezra? Ezra, your awake?!" Sabine said, almost yelling in happiness. She proceeded to hug Ezra, who in turn started to scream in pain as he felt something inside him rupture. After hearing Ezra scream like that, she was upset at herself for hurting him.

Because they heard a scream of pain from the infirmary, they started running in that direction  as Kanan then said, "It's Ezra." And everyone started running faster.ˇ

The medical droid scanned Ezra multiple times and then said, "Looks like the Empire planted some kind of a chip that is activated if there is enough of a certain chemical: Dopamine." "How is any of this related to Ezra's condition?" Sabine asked and immediately got an answer from Hera, "Dopamine is what is know as basically a happiness chemical, so that means, that while that chip is still inside Ezra, he cannot be happy otherwise it will just hurt even more." Then Kanan realized something "This is very, very bad, is it possible to remove it?" The medical droid did another scan and said, "It would be a very dangerous surgery and there is a chance that the patient would never be abled to either see, feel, taste, hear, lose his memory without a chance to recover it or any combination of these. There is also a chance that the patient will die.". Everyone talked and then suddenly Ezra said as he woke up, "I'l do it, i guess it would be better than not being abled to be happy." "EZRA! You will not do this, i can't lose you!" Sabine said, but then Ezra started screaming from pain again until he passed out.

TOWARDS THE END OF THE SURGERY

The entire crew was waiting in the waiting room, Sabine thinking 'Why did i agree to this? He might die and i never got to tell him how i feel abo...' "You may come and see him, he survived the surgery and from what the scans say, we can conclude that only his taste sense was a little damaged." The medical droid said when he walked into the waiting room.

"Why did you save me?" Was the first thing they heard when they walked inside the room. Sabine, while a little appalled at that question, answered, "Because we love you and you are worth more to the rebellion... And to the galaxy, more than you think." "So that is the only reason? I shouldn't have expected anything more." Ezra said morbidly, "Ezra, why did you leave?" Zeb asked and Ezra answered "You can ask that from Sabine or Hera or Kanan." Ezra then got out of the bed and started walking out, but before getting out of the room, Kanan said "YOU, are not going anywhere." Ezra, already knowing how this conversation was going to go, just kept walking, "Ezra... don't go... I.. I-I Love you Ezra, please, don't go." Sabine said with a clump in her throat. Ezra just casually replied without hesitation "Sabine, I love you, but if you keep lying, then that proves my point, NONE of you actually love me, so as i have said before, I. AM. LEAVING." Before any of them could recover from the shock of that conversation.

Sabine ran after Ezra, only to find that he had already boarded an  X-Wing and was taking off. Sabine ran to the nearest ship and took off after him.
