Alrighty people! Lets get started! I own nothing! Sorry if I spelled any of the names wrong.

Sabine could hear Kanan talking on the other side of the door.

"-the anger the hate. I havn't felt a presence like that since-"

" The clone wars," Ahsoka interrupted."

"Yeah…"

"Ahsoka, do you know who or what he is?"

"…No, I don't. But I do know that he will be coming. They'll all be coming now."

Ezra jumped in, " then we've gotta be ready to fight!"

" We must find the strength to fight."

Hera opened the door and they all looked in at the three jedi.

" The greater courage is knowing when not to fight."

Kanan turned as Hera spoke from behind him, " And we'll be there, right alongside you."

Kanan and Ezra smiled at their appearance.

They both got up and everyone conversed as they walked each other to their quarters.

They all broke away once they got to their room. Sabine's room was on the end of the hall, so she was the last one walking. Alone.

She reached her room and opened the door. As she walked in, she stopped, door open, admiring her artwork. There wasn't much room to paint more so she decided to paint over something. She had painted several storm troopers, so she chose the least impressive one and began to spray paint over it.

Sabine had forgotten that she didn't close the door. So she didn't hear the mechanical sliding sound as Hera came in.

" Watcha paintin'?" Hera asked.

Sabine turned around to see Hera standing there.

" Oh," Sabine said turning back to her work. " Nothing exciting."

" MmmmHmmm," Hera began looking around at the other things she had painted.

Sabine stopped in the middle of her work and set the paint can down. " Do you need something?"

Hera turned around. "No, not really."

"Well you must be here for some reason."

" I just wanted to check on you," Hera said walking to another masterpiece.

Sabine was beginning to buy it. Maybe she was just checking on her. It did seem a lot like Hera.

" How is Kanan?" Sabine asked after a short silence.

" He's fine," Hera said not turning her head. " Why?"

" Just wondering. Because I noticed he got hit with that inquistor's light saber."

Hera thought for a moment. " Oh yes. Now I remember." Hera sat at the table under Sabine's bunk. Sabine took a seat too on the other side.

Hera continued, " Kanan said that he is actually a Sith lord."

"Oh, yeah! I remember that. I was there when he said it to Ezra." Sabine said with a snap of her fingers.

" Yes." Hera continued. " That Sith lord did hit him. But that was a few days ago so it isn't hurting him as much anymore. I don't know how to treat it though. It's a wound, it's a burn, I don't know what it is."

Sabine nodded in aknowledgment.

There were a few seconds of silence.

" What about you?" Hera asked suddenly.

" Me?"

" Yes, you. The Sith lord deflected your bullet right into your face."

Sabine suddenly felt like a useless toddler crying over a scraped knee.

" Yes I'm fine. I said that already," she said trying not to get defensive.

" Nooo. You said you would live. Saying you're okay means you're okay. Saying you'll live means you are okay, but it still hurt. Saying you'll live means that you can still perform tasks, but you are wounded. Saying you'll live means you are working through the pain. It means you-"

" Okay I get it!" Sabine yelled turning her gaze and crossing her arms.

Hera stared at her in confusion and shock although their gazes never met. Sabine was suddenly shocked, too. She was always so obedient, never yelling, never talking back, never making snarky comments. In short, she never acted like a teenager. But just now she did and was shocked by her own behavior.

She looked up at Hera with a sorry, ashamed look on her face.

Hera's gaze softened and she got that forgiving, wise look on her face. The look that seemed so motherly. Hera was like the mother Sabine never had.

Just then Hera stood up and walked to Sabine's side of the table. She bent down and began studying her face.

" What are you doing?" Sabine asked as Hera began using her hands to very carefully observe her face.

" I'm checking to see if it caused any injuries."

" It's a good thing I was wearing a helmet, or it could have been way worse than it is."

Hera chuckled.

" Hey, Hera…"

" Yes?" She said letting go of her face.

Sabine sighed. " I'm sorry I yelled at you. I shouldn't have acted so immaturely."

Hera's face suddenly lit up with understanding.

" It's alright Sabine. While it was very unlike you, we all have our moments and even the best of us snap sometimes."

Sabine looked up with relief and smiled.

Hera smiled back putting a hand on her shoulder.

" Was it because I kept saying you were hurt?" Hera asked.

" Yeah. It was just a little embarrassing that's all."

Hera laughed. " Sorry about that. I just want to make sure you're okay." Hera started to tease her, "and just so you know, it is actually your fault."

" My fault?"

" Yep. If you hadn't brought up Kanan's injury, I never would have thought of yours. So really it was you who made me think of it."

" Wait really?"

" No," Hera said with a small laugh. " You did bring it to my mind when you brought up Kanan, but it wasn't your fault. I really was just coming in to check on you. I had no intention on anything else until we started our conversation. Sorry I offended you."

Hera got up to leave.

" Hera wait!"

She stopped and turned her head

" Hera I just wanted to let you know that… it did hurt. It still is a little sore right now even. I just don't want to make a big deal over something that can't be changed. Complaining about it doesn't make the pain stop so what's the point?"

Hera smiled and came over to hug her.

" Also… I didn't want to seem…"

" Didn't want to seem what?"

" Weak."

" Weak?" Hera echoed.

" Yes. Because usually men do all the fighting and stuff because girls don't want to. I didn't want to seem like I shouldn't be fighting either."

" Oh, Sabine. You are a very capable fighter. You are like the keystone member of the team. I'm not just saying that, you really are. You are stealthy, athletic, smart and know a lot about weapons and imperial technology. You are very important. No one is going to see you differently if you get hurt."

" Still…" Sabine said still unsure.

" Alright. I understand your concern. We won't talk about it anymore."

Sabine smiled and Hera got up to leave. She closed the door behind her which had been open the whole time. But Sabine didn't care. No one came down this hall, it just led to a dead end.

Sighing partly with relief and partly frustration, she got up to go finish her painting.

Did you like it? I just want to write about what goes on with Sabine behind the scenes. I usually allow all critasism but this time I am very proud of my story so if you have a mean comment, keep it to yourself. Even constructive critasism will offend me. I will update after the release of each new episode of Star Wars Rebels. Have a nice summer!
