Kor (a Star Wars fanfiction)

Morlux isn't sure what to do, and her head still hurts like crazy, so she sits down and watches the fight. She chuckles a little at the thought that enemies in opposing sides are fighting over her and winces as she wonders if she's going crazy. Sustained brain damage is not good for her sanity.

A tap on her shoulder brings her out of her thoughts. "Come to watch the show?" She asks because her head is really spinning now. The person crouches down next to her. A stormtrooper? How strange. Morlux had never felt more drowsy in her life.

"Jeez, what did you do to your head?"

Morlux had never felt more alert in her life. She bounds to her feet and turns to face the Stormtrooper. "Sirene?" She hisses. "What are you doing here?"

Sirene gets up with her hands on her hips. "Moff Gideon told me about your mission, but he wouldn't give me details. Clearly, you are putting yourself in too much danger. You're leaving. NOW."

She tugs at Morlux's hand, but the Lieutenant refuses to move. "I have a mission to complete," she says. "You need to leave before they see you."

"I'm not leaving without you." Sirene pulls out her blaster. "You have put yourself into too much danger." She huffs. "You're supposed to be retired, remember?"

"I have to do this," Morlux protests. "This is my fight." Strange how in this moment, she is no longer thinking about all the pain she has encountered and instead about little Grogu.

And Sirene. And beautiful, stupid, Sirene. Morlux would do anything to keep her safe.
