Temple life
Anakin decided he should feel a little guilty. After all, it was frowned upon to leave even the most annoying Padawan's shackled to their beds in their sleeping quarters. The stocks were a time-honoured way of punishing a Padawan who pushed their master too far. He had only ended up in the in the stocks once, after being caught with a box of Caranak eggs near Master Windu's quarters. A patrol droid had discovered him rigging the door with them so that when the door opened he, (Master Windu) got covered in egg. He had spent several days in the stocks over that.
Meanwhile Ahsoka had given up all attempts to find a more comfortable way of lying with her hands fastened to the head of her bed. It had been a shock, when, at kriff-o-clock in the morning, her Jedi master, had for reasons seemingly best known to himself, held her down with the force and secured her hands to the head of her bed, before inserting a bar of durasteel into her mouth and then as a finale, fastening her mouth shut with a strip of adhesitape. And he had switched the air-con unit to sub-arctic -17, a setting she did not know existed until he had set her air con to it.
Anakin by now had reached a small lodge on the outskirts of the government district. Using a false I.D. arranged by his wife (he was registered as a Mr Par Credo.) he rented rooms on a regular basis in order to avoid another sticky situation, such as when Obi-Wan, paying an unannounced visit to Padme's apartment, had found her wearing a Jedi Knight's robe and with her hair loose. Anakin, sensing his master's approach, had ducked out of a window onto his speeder and vanished before Obi-Wan had detected his presence. He had avoided his old master for several days afterwards to avoid interrogation about the incident, as Padme had left the robe on a chair when she went to shower. Obi-wan, being a curious old git, had investigated the robe and discovered Anakin's name embroidered in the Nabooan fashion inside the collar. The situation had been so sticky that even Jar-Jar could not have wriggled free. Still, the bed-life here was just as good, so he had no complaints
Meanwhile things had got worse for Ahsoka. As she had tried, for the umpteenth time to get an arm free, a device had descended from the ceiling and implanted an I.V. tube in her arm. It had begun pumping something into her system. Five minutes later she was so helpless that it removed her bonds and gag and just left her there, lying completely helpless and unable to control any part of her body consciously. She could not scream, could not move and was waiting to be freed of the drip. Anakin had sealed their quarters and then sealed her room separately, preventing any chance of her being seen and rescued. It was a hopeless position to be in.
Anakin strode back to his quarters with a spring in is stride. He had repeatedly slept with Padme and was now coming back to release his Padawan. It would be problematic if she realized he had left her any longer than he had to, she would probably grass him up to the masters.
As he entered the room he was surprised that she had not escaped. Then he noticed her lying on the bed, a drip feeding a muscle relaxant into her left arm. He had installed the device in case he wanted to teach her how to escape from a drug feed. She was helpless and even more almost naked than normal. For a shocking moment he felt a desire for her, to take her, to enjoy her powerlessness then leave her to end. It was a shocking instant of power-demanding that he found shocking. He rushed over and removed the feed from her arm, stowed the shackles under his own bed, and called the temple med-centre "this is Jedi Knight Skywalker. I need a healer with stim packs in my quarters now if not sooner. Padawan Ahsoka has been incapacitated by a drug feeder. It was a training exercise that went kriffing badly wrong." Within a minute a healer had arrived with a stim-pack and injected Ahsoka with a full dose of stim. As Anakin held her she stirred in his arms. She was shocked for a second, then, with both Anakin and the healer pouring calm into the Force, she opened her eyes, shook her head and spoke "thanks Skyguy." Then she slumped for a second, and then her head rose again, with a slight glint in her eyes "Healer, could you leave us alone now. I'm fine" once the healer was gone she swung towards Anakin "Skyguy, I hope you have an extremely good explanation for my chaffed wrists, the bad taste lingering in my mouth and the way my head is spinning like a kriffing Why-vee with an altitude jet on malfunction."
"As a matter of fact I do, Ahsoka; it was a training exercise, intended to remind you that even this was not an entirely safe place." He hesitated as she glared then continued "and of course you can return the favour. I would never have allowed Obi-wan to get away with this." "But" he continued "why did you not unlock your binders with the Force."
She grinned sheepishly "never thought to. I was fighting them with my arms alone, assuming you intended to confine me for an unstated period of time and would have used Jedi proof binders. Then ugly came down and I was trapped. I lay there unable to move or reach the force through the fug that concoction caused." She suddenly slumped. Anakin instantly caught her in the force and, smiling as he did so, locked the binders on behind her back. "Training has recommenced, Snips. Get free or stay there"
"Barve"
"Whatever"
