-Arcade, Duncan Laurence

There was an odd silence that didn't sit well with (Y/n). The air was muggy, yet cold enough to give her goosebumps. It was like a dark forest in the middle of nowhere. Uncomfortable, mysterious, and chilling.

"You might have a point, but we have to be careful." Fives suddenly said. "I say we hide and then come out when we know they're unarmed." He strayed deeper into the old warehouse.

"Hide?"

"I'll take a look around. If I turn off the lights, hide."

"Hide--? Fives!"

He paused in his step and turned to face (Y/n). In the dim warehouse light, she saw the way his eyes sadly glittered. "Please, Commander, trust me." (Y/n) pursed her lips together. It wasn't often he called her that in private. A tired sigh escaped (Y/n)'s lips. "Alright. Just...don't do anything rash. Keep your head." Fives nodded in reply. He turned on his heel and disappeared into the warehouse. Sitting in silence again didn't soothe (Y/n)'s worries.

The lights suddenly snapped and went out, devouring the warehouse in darkness. (Y/n) squinted in the inky black. She didn't want to hide--she wasn't a coward like that--but she knew her place in a delicate situation. She peeled herself off the crate and hid behind a stack of them. There was a jumbled mix of chatter that made her gaze focus on the entrance. She couldn't catch the snippets of conversation too well. From where she sat, it sounded like a garble of gibberish and faked Basic.

"(Y/n)!" called Anakin. "Fives!" Him and Rex squeezed in through the doors. "Come out!"

"Sir!" That was Fives. "I'm so glad you came. You're alone, right?"

"Yes, now come out! We're not here to hurt you!" (Y/n) caught Anakin's gaze flickering to her hiding spot. "You can trust us." he added. "Promise."

"Put your weapons down sir!" Fives shouted. (Y/n) spared a look at Anakin and Rex, who stood back to back. The blue glow of Anakin's lightsaber disappeared as he placed it on a crate.

"I'm putting my pistols down Fives." Rex said. Metal clanked and shook on the overhead bridge as Fives stumbled down. "Please, please just..." He flicked on one of the lights and leaned against a durasteel beam. "...just hear what I have to say, what we have to say."

"We're here to help you Fives." Anakin said. Fives placed a hand on the control panel next to him.

"Let us take you back to the Temple and..."

Milky white ignited above and wrapped itself around Rex and Anakin in a bubble. (Y/n) shot up to her feet. "Fives, what are you doing?" He heaved in a deep breath to steady himself. "I just need you to listen to us. Please." He walked over to the ray shield with shaky steps. (Y/n) folded her arms and followed suit. "I'm not sure they have a choice." she softly said.

"We were framed because we know the truth..." Fives rubbed at his forehead. "...about--about a plot--a massive deception." Rex narrowed his eyes. "By whom?"
