Captain Rex wasn't sure what was going on. Ahsoka had been called to be trialed for a crime the council was already convinced she had committed. Rex couldn't believe it and he knew Anakin didn't either. Then again the jedi was solemnly silent as they transported Ahsoka to the council. Looking at her in handcuffs made his chest hurt. He was hopeful that the council would come to realize that they had made a mistake.

Then she ran away, refusing to be judged for a crime she didn't commit. Ahsoka ran away. It made her look more guilty than anything else the council had before. Captain Rex and Anakin chased after her desperately. He did not want one of the other clones to shoot the fugitive before they could apprehend her and bring her back safely. He bit back his tongue as he follows Anakin. He felt like he should say something but if he did it would only interfere with things and they wouldn't let him lead the search. Rex knew how things like this would play out. He's seen it before but not often amongst the jedi.

In the end she managed to escape the city. Other clones took the claims that she committed the murder seriously. Rex new better. "Ahsoka would never do something like this." He had declared and now her wanted poster was everywhere. By all accounts she was guilty. So he hoped she could prove herself innocent. Anakin did not talk much with the clones during this time. He was too busy defending his padawan's action against the council and chasing her down with the clones. Captain Rex and Commander Wolffe were charged to find her. So the 501st squadron worked with Wolffe's and hunted the padawan down. She was eventually found and taken in by Plo koon and Skywalker.

Now Rex stood with his men in one of the locker rooms. He had not heard any news of Ahsoka's fate and Fives was trying to convince him that it would be okay. They would realize Ahsoka wasn't guilty and then she would be back at it with Anakin and Rex again. They would fight against the separatist and this would all just be a bad memory. Another one they overcame together. Just like when she had fallen to the darkside and was resurrected. Rex shivers as he remembers that little adventure of theirs. It'll all end well the commander will be proven not guilty and then she would return home to the General and their men. They'll have their commander and general back and will fall back into the army serving the republic together and completing missions.

Rex didn't notice that he had left the others until he was standing in front of a very familiar door. The general's door. Rex considers leaving before he finally decides that there was no way he was going too. He knocks on the door, rapping his knuckles against the metal.

The door slides open and a grim faced Anakin stands on the other side. Rex waits for the general to grant him permission to step inside. Anakin was glaring at his hands lost in thought sitting on his bed against the wall. Rex coughs to gain his attention. The general gives him a confused look.

"General."

"Come in Rex." The captain walks into the room straightening his posture as the door closes behind him.

"General,"

"They're giving her a trial. It'll only be a matter of time."

"Shouldn't we be there?" Rex asks.

"You know why we're not Rex. You're a clone, and I'm too close to her to attend and judge without my feelings getting in the way." It was clear he was repeating something another had told him. It sounded as if General Obi-wan had already talked to him.

They stand there in the quiet. Rex watches as Anakin begins to pace. He occasionally would make a comment about one thing or another. Rex wasn't sure what else to do but he had to make one thing clear. He could explain to his general how he felt about this whole situation with Ahsoka and the jedi.

"This isn't right sir." Rex clenches his fist before relaxing them again. Anakin turns to him with anger in his eyes and Rex braces himself. He wasn't sure what would happen next but he knew Anakin could be very rash when angry.

"I know that Rex." Anakin says through gritted teeth.

"If you don't mind me saying so sir, we should be there to help her." Captain Rex adds. Anakin stands and shoves past the clone. "Sir?"

"I'm going to help my padawan Rex, and I think I know exactly where to start." Rex follows Anakin out but stops there. He watches his general as he leaves, disappearing beyond a wall.

Rex, going the opposite way, wanders through the halls again. This time he has a set destination for his feet to reach. He may not be able to do much but he would not remain standing around just to let boredom play with his mind. He rests his palm against one of the blasters at his side. He silently follows Anakin's lead.
