The Ghost Crew One-shots

Insecurities part 5

Kanan turned off his com-link after the Commander assured him that his Padawan will be okay. The older Jedi in the Imperial shuttle with Rex sighed deeply. The clone put his hands over his face with his knees barely supporting him from falling off the chair. Rex let out a sigh of relief as he cursed under his breath, being gravely worried about the kid. The Clone's gaze shifted to the man next to him, Kanan wasnt moving from the chair whatsoever but a few shivers that ran through his body could be seen. The Jedi was still in shock and probably had no idea how to deal with all these emotions. Rex watched wondering if he should say something and the moment he opened his mouth to speak Kanan interrupted him "Please..not now..lets just follow the Commander's shuttle"

Rex closed his mouth in hesitation and kept quiet as he looked down at the controls and soon saw the shuttle not that far from them enter hyperspace. Shortly after they were met with the blue and white lines too, heading to the command ship....

IN HYPERSPACE, WITH COMMANDER SATO....

The Commander brought Ezra to the seats in the Imperial shuttle. Thankfully they had a pull down option so he was able to place the injured boy on it, laying him down. The older man was trying to stay as calm as possible but he kept re-checking Ezra's pulse and heartbeat. Everytime it was faint but still it was there which gave Sato a sense of relief. He soon found a first aid kit on the ship and after opening it up, he placed a bandage on Ezra's head to try to stop the bleeding coming from it. The raven haired boy wasnt waking up and wasnt reacting to anything though. He looked pale, like a corpse but the small rising and falling of his chest proved he was still alive. For the rest of the ride, The commander stayed by Ezra's side doing his best to keep the boy's condition from worsening....

IN HYPERSPACE, KANAN AND REX'S SHUTTLE...

It was very quiet, the only thing heard were some occasional sounds of the ship working. Kanan didnt move from his chair and still had his head buried into his hands while being supported by his knees. The Jedi obviously wasnt doing alright and Rex noticed it immedietly so despite Kanan's previous request the clone spoke " Its not your fault Kanan"

The brown haired man didnt respond at all at the words, there were no movements in his stance.

"I know you are blaming the hell out of yourself now, but you need to realise that what happened was a mission gone wrong. You had no effect on it" Rex continued speaking but then suddenly The Jedi moved and turned to Rex, facing him. The green eyes that were now looking at the clone were sparkling with obvious tears...but Kanan still wore a pained and angry look. This even scared Rex a bit.

"It is my fault. Ezra took on this mission in order to avoid me because of all the fights we have been having. He wanted a break from it ! And his Master couldnt stand up and apologise to him besides I'm the one who started the whole thing.." Kanan spoke and looked away, leaving Rex in shock that the other man actually responded but now the clone understood what was going on inside of Kanan's head. The Jedi wasnt mad at anyone but himself and he hated himself for letting things get out of hand. 

In that moment Kanan felt a gentle hand on his shoulder and Rex's voice saying "Kanan you couldnt have known this would happen. Ezra is still alive though, you still have a chance to make things right. And knowing you Jedi folks, I'm sure you will"

The brown haired man kept silent before sighing and nodding in agreement. His mind wasnt put at ease but he appreciated the clone trying to help, he did need a bit of that encouragment. But his thoughts were again soon consumed by Ezra's well being and injuries. Kanan hadnt seen the boy, he only knew what the Commander told him but no details and that worried the Jedi greatly....

WITH COMMANDER SATO...

While the man was looking down at the unconcious figure in front of him, a rebel soldier came in the room from the cockpit saying "We'll be out of hyperspace soon Commander". Sato nodded in response as the other rebel returned to the cockpit. 

Ezra was still on the bed and he hasnt woken up or moved. The bleeding from his head somewhat stopped which relieved the Commander but it would still show up on the bandage a bit. Suddenly the sound of a ship coming out of hyperspace was heard. As soon as the older man was alarmed of the situation, he slowly and gently picked up Ezra. Sato wanted to be ready to rush him in the med-bay as soon as they connect to the Command ship. 

While The Commander was holding the bluenette in his arms, he noticed a slight shift in his movements. It wasnt much but it made the Commander look down at the boy with eyes full of hope. Ezra remained unconcious but now the man holding him knew that the Padawan was more aware, he exited the comatose state he was in before which meant that it was crucial to  get him to safety.

A sudden loud click was heard, the shuttle was connecting to the command ship and just before the doors opened Sato heard Ezra mumble quietly..."K..." he started but he couldnt finnish whatsoever....

Sato gently smiled at the boy's mumble "Everything is okay Ezra..you're safe" he said as the door in front of him opened revealing the inside of the command ship and...a tall male figure standing with a worried expression at his Padawan...
