Bad Blood

Chapter 14

"So that's it? You're just going to forgive him for what he did and get back together?!?" Hera asked. She was livid. After all Lux had put Ashoka through, she was going to try it with him again? The green twi'lek was absolutely beside herself.

"Whamp waaaa wom whamp whamp wap," Chopper said, spinning around and flailing his arms. He seemed to be adding onto what Hera was saying.

"I mean I don't know what happened between the two of you, but from the way you acted upon seeing him for the first time, and then how you've acted towards him since then, this doesn't seem like a great idea," Kanan chipped in.

"Well... we talked it out and I saw that it wasn't all his fault. I was partially to blame for everything that had happened," Ahsoka responded.

"I still don't get it," Hera started crossing her arms, "but it's your choice, even if I don't necessarily agree."

"What about Carys?" Sabine asked. "Are you going to tell her the truth about Lux?"

The pair looked at each other, and Lux decided to take this one. "We're not going to tell her yet. I want to, but Ahsoka made a good point. If this doesn't work for some reason, we don't want Carys to just get her father back then have him disappear again."

"That makes sense," Sabine said nodding.

Zeb, who had remained quiet during the whole exchange, walked over to Lux. "If you hurt her, she's going to be the least of your worries," the towering lasat said standing over Lux and pointing a finger at his chest.

Lux gulped hard. "Y-yes s-s-s-sir."

Zeb kept the menacing look up for another second or two before bursting out laughing along with Ezra. "Oh my force you should've seen your face," Zeb said laughing and wiping away tears.

"It was all like this," Ezra added as he attempted to recreate the expression Lux had worn just moments earlier. This caused Zeb to laugh even harder.

Lux on the other hand was blushing bright red from embarrassment. Ahsoka looked at him and smiled. She grabbed his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, causing him to look down at her. When he did, Ahsoka gave a big smile, which immediately eased Lux's embarrassment.

At this point Zeb and Ezra had calmed down and stopped laughing. Zeb turned back to Lux. "But seriously, don't hurt her or you'll have a whole lot of people that will hurt you," Zeb stated motioning to the people in the room.

"Well," Lux started. He looked back at Ahsoka and smiled at her. "I don't plan on it."

Zeb smiled at this. "Good. Welcome to the Ghost family, Spectre-10." (We're gonna pretend for the sake of this story that Ahsoka is Spectre-8 and Carys Spectre-9, so that's how we went from 7 to 10)

Everyone stepped forward to welcome Lux to the team, except for Hera. As they were all talking with and congratulating Lux, Ashoka slid away and mad her way over to Hera.

"Hey, look, I know you're not fully on board with this, but trust me. Lux and I talked everything out, and we're starting with a clean slate."

Hera sighed. "I know, I just, I'm still worried for you. You were so broken when I found you, and you've spent over 5 years of your life hating his guts. I just don't want u to rush into something and get hurt again."

Ahsoka stole a glance over to Lux and the rest of the Ghost Team. He was smiling at them and seemed to enjoy the attention he was getting from them. Ahsoka turned back to Hera. "I get that, and I appreciate your worries, but you just have to trust me on this one. I've meditated on Lux a lot since he's come back into my life, and I've learned to let go of my anger towards him."
