A/N: Hey guys! Well, it's past midnight here in Mexico and I'm still up.

Expect more updates on March 16th from my other stories!:D. I don't own Star Wars Rebels or The Flash.


Runnin' home to you

Chapter 1: What the future may hold

5 ABY

A young woman with very short hair dyed in purple and cladded in matching armor was watching the prosperous city from an old communication tower. She didn't pay too much attention to the city, though, her mind was thinking about the last words her best friend, Ezra Bridger had said to her.

"Sabine, I'm counting on you."

She sighed, it had been five years since he had disappeared with Thrawn and the Chimera, Thrawn's Star Destroyer and many things had changed since that day.

Lothal was freed from the Imperial occupation and slowly but surely, the planet started to heal; the Emperor had died and the Empire was defeated. She still couldn't believe she had survived to see the end of the Empire, she felt bad for Kanan, he had sacrificed himself to save her, Hera and Ezra; she wished he had met his son, Jacen, but she also knew that Kanan knew about him. There were many things she didn't knew about the Force but Kanan once told her that even after passing away, the Jedi could still sense and see what was happening in the galaxy; she smiled softly knowing Kanan was proud of Hera for raising their child even when she still was with the Rebellion.

The Mandalorian sighed again. She had been in Lothal for five years, helping it to rebuild but everything felt odd, like there was something missing and she understood it two months after they had freed Lothal.

Sabine had many regrets but her greatest regrets was not telling Ezra she had feelings for him. It's true, the first time they meet it had been awkward, especially because he acted like a smartass and flirted all the time with her. Everytime he made her a compliment she turned him down saying that he shouldn't look too much into it but after the first Empire Day (his birthday) he had spent with them, she noticed a small change in his personality.

Yes, he probably still made jokes and flirted with her but it wasn't as common as it had been when he first arrived. She started to like his company and they even made a routine after every mission; they would sit down and talk about any topic to relax and to take their minds off from the war. At first it was kind of boring since Ezra didn't know much about things, so he just sat there and listened her as she talked about art, but soon, he also started to tell her stories about Lothal before the Empire and his fondest memories of his parents.

Everything changed when he, Kanan and Ashoka had gone to Malachor; Kanan was blinded, Ashoka went missing and Ezra brought a Sith Holocron he found in that damned planet. His personality changed dramatically, he no longer smiled or made jokes, instead, he locked himself in his and Zeb's room for hours; he just came out from mission and to eat but what most worried her, was his cold looks everytime he fight with the Stormtroopers. She knew that wasn't the Ezra she had met, this was someone else trying to kill the rest of Ezra's personality.

Fortunately, the influence of the Sith holocron went away just in time; they continued to talk and spent time together as before but also in that time, she noticed that Ezra was no longer a kid. He was taller, a little bit more muscular and wiser, he really had matured in those six months.

And when she realized this, she started to have odd feelings towards him. Sometimes she felt butterflies in her stomach when he was standing next to him or he smiled at her but she managed to control the feeling, she tried to deny that she had a small crush on Ezra but after she had stayed with her family in Krownest, she realized that the person she had missed the most was Ezra and that was all she needed to confirm she had feelings for him.

These feelings grew over the next weeks after the rescue of her father and when they decided to go to save Lothal, she was the first person to sign up for the mission. She had seen how Ezra gave her all his support the past four years and he had gone with her to rescue her father, so she felt she needed to do the same for him.

It wasn't until Kanan's death that she realized she needed to tell Ezra about her feelings. She saw how much Hera blamed herself for not telling him that she loved or for believing that she would have more time with him; Sabine didn't want any regrets but everytime she wanted to tell Ezra about her feelings, the words failed her and then, he was gone.

A ship broke her thoughts and she looked up to see a Jedi ship heading towards the city. The Mandalorian smiled and went inside the tower to grab her bag and her helmet, then she went downstairs and climbed on her air bike and headed to the city. As she drove through the plains, the Loth-wolves ran beside her; she arrived at the building where she had painted a mural of her Ghost family a week after Lothal's liberation.

She touched the painted image of Ezra wishing he was here with her but she also knew that she would find him wherever he was and would bring him home with her. She turned around and saw Ashoka dressed in a white robe and holding a staff. The Mandalorian put on her helmet and walked to the Torguta.

"I'm ready." Sabine said.

"I'm sorry, Sabine but going for Ezra won't be necessary." Ashoka answered.

The Mandalorian took her helmet off. "Why? Did you feel something in the Force?" She asked worried. "Is he…?"

"No, no. Nothing like that, he's still alive I can feel it." Ashoka said.

"Then, what are we waiting for?" Sabine said.

"Sabine, it won't be necessary to go for him." The Torguta said.

"Why are you saying that!?" Sabine asked in a slightly angry voice, she had been waiting five years to see Ezra and know Ashoka was telling her not to go for him.

"He's counting on me, Ashoka. He said it himself!" The Mandalorian said angry.

"I know, Sabine." The Torguta said.

"You have no idea how much he means to me and to the rest of the crew!" The Mandalorian said. "I need to tell him how I really feel about him!" She said with tears in her eyes.

"Sabine, please. Let me explain before you start arguing again." Ashoka said.

The Mandalorian took a deep breath and waited for Ashoka's explanation.

"I was on my way here when I felt a presence in a near sector and I went to check, I could not believe my eyes when I see it but then it told he was ready to come home." She said.

Sabine looked at Ashoka not believing what she had said but when the Torguta motioned to the ship, her breath got stuck in her throat.

Standing at the top of the ramp, there was a hooded figure. Sabine could tell it was a man by the height but she couldn't see his face since it was covered by the hood of the brown robe the figure was wearing. Ashoka nodded and the figure came down, it stopped next to Ashoka and lowered his hood.

"Hey 'Bine." Ezra said with a soft smile on his face.

Sabine's eyes widen in shock and her helmet slipped from her grasp and fell on the floor with a thunk as her eyes scanned every inch of Ezra's face. She knew it was him.

"Ezra!"
