When Anakin comes back from a mission he saw Ahsoka waiting for him, he was glad to see her but couldn't shake the feeling that he missed something important while he was gone.

When he gets over to her he notices burns, bruises, and 3 lightsaber marks on her body, he looks at her skeptically and says "Ahsoka what happened, you look all beat up."

Ahsoka looks down and says "I don't want to talk about it right now, besides the council asked me to fetch you and bring you to the council chambers so let's go." She then starts walking giving Anakin no choice but to follow her.

The walk to the council room was silent and awkward, when they get their, she knocks on the door and they hear Yoda says "enter you may."

They walk in and bow at them, Windu sits up straight and says "Skywalker, how went the mission." Anakin says "it went well but before we talk about that I want to know whats going on, I can sense that something happened while I was gone."

They nod and Mundi says "do u remember Knight Tano saying that she had a fear of something and made you leave the room?" Anakin nods and Mundi says "well it turns out that she was scared of how strict our code is so we changed it and now Jedi can have attachments."

Anakin was shocked, that meant that he and Padme could be together and perhaps it was the perfect time to admit his secret to everyone. He smiles and says "speaking of attachment master, I have a confession to make."

He takes a deep breathe and says "Masters I'm married to someone." He saw the shocked but happy look on the council members, except for Windu, he just kept his face unreadable.

Shakk smirks and says "who's the lady, we must help her if she's married to you." Ahsoka and some of the others laugh at that and Anakin rolls his eyes.

He smiles and says "I'm married to Senator Amidala." Anakin saw Obi Wan give him a proud smile and he smiles back at him, he looks back at Ahsoka and he saw that she was giving him a knowing look.

She smiles at him and says "I knew their was something going on with you and the senator." Anakin looks at her shocked and says "really, for how long." Ahsoka smirks and says "ever sense the blue Shadow Virus mission, your not that slick you know."

Anakin sighs and says "I think I taught you too well." Ahsoka laughs but then she stopped when she remembered her ribs were still healing.

Anakin saw it and said "masters why is Ahsoka covered with bruises, burns, and cuts. I know something happened." All of the council members look at Obi Wan and he sighs, knowing that he would have to tell Anakin.

He looks at him and says "2 days ago Ahsoka got captured by Tarkin and Maul, they took her hostage and told me to come confront him on Mandalore. When I got their we fought but Maul ran and Tarkin was passed out, I found Ahsoka in a cell passed out so I picked her up and tried to ran out of the palace. Maul was waiting though, we fought again and I was able to knock him out, their in custody right now, waiting trial."

Anakin's blood was boiling, how dare they not tell him that she got captured, he could have helped. The council could sense his anger and all prepared themselves for the storm that was about to happen.

He glares at them and says "why didn't you tell me, I could have helped saved her sooner." Obi Wan sighs and says "because one, he asked for me alone and two, you would have killed him out of anger."

Anakin glares at him and shout "how dare you!I'm her former master, I have every right to know if she's in danger!" Everyone was slightly taken aback from Anakin's outburst and Windu wasn't having it.

He glares at him and says "Skywalker either control yourself or get out." Anakin glares at him but takes a deep breathe to calm himself down. He gives them a blank expression and says "is that all."

Everyone but 2 council members nod, Plo and Yoda. They pondered if they should tell Anakin about the whole attempted rape thing but they all decided against it for their sake and Ahsoka's, judging by the look she was giving them they could tell that she didn't want Anakin to know.

Windu then says "now to your mission." Anakin nods and the rest of the meeting was talking about his mission. When they were done they all walk out but Plo asked Ahsoka to stay for a minute.

She looks at him and he tells her about how Maul and Tarkin will have his trial in a week and that she is to prosecute him and tell the senate and the rest of the council about her capture and his attempted rape.

Ahsoka sighs, nods, and says "okay, thank you master Plo." She gives him a quick hug before walking out with Plo behind her.
