*Obi-Wan's POV*

She cried every day, and every day turned to every week and after three months she became silent. She refused to eat, she ignored everyone who tried to help her, and I had never seen anyone so heartbroken before. The council deemed her unstable to go to trial, knowing that the first chance she got she would be taking out Master Windu.

I walked down to the cell with a tray of food. Kiratta Kenvor was completely still as she lay on the bunk ignoring my presence.

"Kira," I said quietly. "You need to eat."

No response. I sighed. "Kira… please." I begged; still she made no notion that she was going to acknowledge me. "Jango wouldn't want you to do this to yourself."

That got her attention; she sat up and glared at me. "Shut up." She snapped harshly before lying back down. That was the most she spoke in a month, even if it was angry it was still something.

"I'm not going to leave until you eat something." I said determined. She let out a long sigh.

"Is that a threat or a promise?" She asked, her voice cracking from lack of use.

"A promise." I responded sitting on the ground.

She groaned. "Go away." Her voice sounded pleading.

"Not until you come over here and eat something."

She sighed. "Fine." She got up and walked over, Kira used to have the body millions of women only wish they had but now her muscle tone was fading and she was skinnier than she should be. She crossed her leg over the other one and plopped down on her side of the cell. "Happy?"

"Estatic." I replied. She huffed; I slid the tray under the door. She looked at it uninterested. "Please eat something."

She picked up a biscuit and stared at it for a few seconds before finally eating it. I smiled.

"What the hell are you smiling about?" She demanded to know.

"You're eating."

She rolled her eyes. "Well it tastes terrible." I laughed, "When is my trial?" She asked.

"I don't know," I said. "The council deemed you unstable."
"Unstable?" She asked insulted.

"They think that if you get within thirty feet from Windu, you'll try to kill him." I responded.

"Doesn't soung like a bad idea." She laughed. "I need to get out of this cell." She then became sad. "My son is out there all alone somewhere in this kriffed up galaxy with no one to take care of him… he needs me."

I frowned. "I'll talk to the council."

"You do that." She replied, she got up and returned to her bunk. I looked down at her tray satisfied that she ate over half of her meal. I took the tray and began to walk away.

"I'll be back in a couple hours." I said calmly.

She sighed. "Goody." Her overly sarcastic tone made me laugh. I walked up and was greeted by my old padawan, Anakin Skywalker.

"How is she?" He asked, Anakin had a soft spot for people like Kira.

I held up the tray. "She ate over half of her meal and actually spoke with me."

Anakin gave a smile. "Good." He said. "We need to give her, her trial. It's not fair to her to keep her there, especially after losing her husband and her kid gone missing. She's already a prisoner in her own body."

"If she goes to trial, they'll just send her to the Republican prisons." I sighed. "She attempted murder and she will be convicted of an old murder of Vergask Verano, who she admitted to murdering nearly eighteen years ago. she will stay in prison for the rest of her life."

"What if she could work off her sentencing with the troops?" Anakin suggested as we walked down the hall. I stroked my beard thoughtfully. "It might help."

"Or hurt," I said. "Working with men made in the image of the man she loved and the man who was killed in front of her?"

Anakin frowned. "Hmm. We still should talk to the council about it."

"Lead the way." I said as we made our way to the council.

*Kira's POV*

I laid on my back on the bunk. I was growing tired of looking at the ceiling and worried about Boba and Slone. I had to find some way to find them; Boba was ten years old for crying out loud! Even though Jango and I had taught them everything we know, I didn't know if it was enough to keep an eight and ten year old safe in a galaxy that is being torn apart bit by bit. I felt a presence and looked over seeing Obi-Wan and Anakin.

"Kira," Anakin said. "We've got you your trial."

I shot up. "You did what?"

Anakin nodded with a smile. "We might be able to get you out of here."

I raised an eyebrow as I got to my feet. "How do you suppose that?" I asked suspicious. "I am convicted of a murder that happened eighteen years ago and attempted murder on my old master. I don't think I'm getting out of here anytime soon."

Obi-Wan glanced over at Anakin with a smirk. "Just trust us."

"I've grown weary of trusting Jedi." I said narrowing my eyes. "No offense."

"None taken." Obi-Wan said, "But if you want to have a chance of getting out of here then please cooperate."

"What am I gonna do?" I asked slightly bitter. "I don't have weapons and if you put those binders on me I can't use the Force."

Obi-Wan glanced at Anakin. "Right," He said. "Well let's go."

I held out my arms in submitting waiting for them to put the binders on my wrists, Anakin opened the cell door and snapped them on. He put a hand on my shoulder as the two led me onto the main level of the temple. I felt uneasy being out of the cell. An ARC clone trooper with blue stripes was waiting by the door.

"Sir," He said when he saw Anakin. "The Council has requested your presence."

"Thank you." Anakin said. "Kira this is Captain Rex, he's one of the best captains we have." He said proudly. I looked at the trooper and gave a nod to greet him.

"Hello Captain."

"Hello Sir."

'Sir?' I thought 'Why would he be calling me that? I have no military status.'

The captain walked with us to the council room. Anakin led me in the center holding onto my shoulder, I felt their eyes on me and looked up to meet eyes with Shaak Ti. She gave a sad smile; I looked away not returning it.

"Anakin you have asked the council to speed up the trial of my old padawan, Kiratta Kenvor, explain." Windu's voice said; I cringed as my eyes fell to the floor.

"Well, technically she is Kiratta Fett," He began with a smirk. My eyes stayed on the floor. "But that's beside the point. Ms. Fett has been through more than anyone should go through in the last few months. Her husband was murdered in front of her eyes, her ten year old son has gone missing, not only is she grieving their loss she is being held in Republic jails for a crime I think she shouldn't be committed for."

"Hmm." Windu growled. "How do you figure?"

"You murdered her husband," He explained. "And yet you do not get any consequences? While this woman has lost everything close to her, you lose nothing and get to walk away a free man."

I looked up at Anakin surprised. He gave a sideways smile at me. 'I like this kid.' I thought.

"She tried to murder a member of the high council, Skywalker." Master Plo Koon stepped in.

"Yes but Master Windu actually committed the crime." Anakin countered.

"I agree with Master Skywalker," Shaak Ti added. "I was once a close friend to Kira and know that she is an incredible woman and fiercely loyal to those close to her. I cannot blame her for acting as she did on Geonosis. As a Jedi we are not allowed to form attachments but Ms. Fett has and her love for her husband and her son were more than I have ever seen in a woman. I think we should at least give her a chance to redeem herself."

My eyes met Shaak Ti's purple ones and for the first time in a long time I smiled and mouthed a 'thank you'.

"How would she go about redeeming herself?" Master Kit Fisto asked.

"Well Masters, Obi-Wan and I were thinking she could be put a part of the Clone army so she can work off her sentencing."

I looked over at him almost snorting. "I am not-" I stopped myself. 'If I'm not stuck in some tiny cell I could be out there looking for Boba. I may have to work with the people who killed Jango but is it worth it to find a cute, defenseless little clone boy?' I thought 'Definitely. Then when the time is right…' "I take it back." I said standing up straight hoping they would let me work with the clones. This would be perfect. I could find Boba and Slone!

I looked to each member hopefully. "Think this is a good idea, I do." Yoda spoke up, I looked towards him as my heart started to race with hope.

"So do I." Shaak Ti added.

"As do I." Ki-Adi-Mundi added. Several other masters agreed leaving only Windu. He stared at me looking thoughtfully.

"I don't trust her." He stated. "I have a feeling she has or will get ulterior motives."

"I can wear one of those neck things that should I act out against a member of either the Clone army, which is highly unlikely, or the Jedi themselves it will automatically kill me." I said standing up straight. "That will eliminate any reasons to distrust me. If I am willing to wear a collar that will kill me, I think I deserve a little trust."

"For some reason I think you'd be willing to sacrifice yourself to kill me." Windu glared.

"I have bigger problems than killing you at this moment, Windu," I snapped. "I have a ten year old son and an eight year old girl of a very close friend who has been put into my care. Even though neither of the children are biologically mine, I am Mandalorian and family is more than blood. I've helped raise Boba since he was no older than three weeks old and I even adopted him as my own. So from my eyes he is my son and I have become rather fond of the girl, Slone. I have better things to worry about than frying your shebs." I felt adrenaline running through me as I felt firm, strong and confident. Something that has been lacking.

'Don't worry, Jango. I'll find them.' I thought, 'I promise.'

"Very well, Kira." Windu said calmly. "You have been granted to Anakin Skywalker to become part of his battalion."

I smiled and nodded my head. "Thank you."

The Jedi bowed their heads as the council was dismissed. Anakin led me out the door when Windu walked over with the collar he handed it to Skywalker and walked off.

"You're welcome." Anakin smirked.

I nodded. "You know, for a Jedi, you're kind of cool." I commented as he clipped the collar around my neck and undid the binders. They dropped and fell to the ground.

"Well Kira, I'm putting you under Captain Rex, he will teach you everything he knows. Won't ya Rex?" He asked walking off.

"Uh yes Sir." Rex said. I looked over at him and rose an eyebrow.
