"Athena, we have to leave. Kanan might have already left and the government is probably on their way." Hera said.
"He still might be here!" Athena yelled.
"Zeb, watch her I'm gonna take off." Hera instructed.
"Hera! He might-" Athena squealed in pain as she tried to stand up, and sat back down.
"Athena, we can't stay here any longer." Hera told the blonde girl.
"But.." Athena said.
Hera left to fly the ship before Athena could say anything with Sabine close behind.
The ship lurched a little. And Athena just stared at her foot.
Zeb understood how Athena felt leaving a member behind, but it was probably worse considering Kanan is Athena's only relative she had.
"You feelin a'ight,kid?" Zeb asked.
Athena let out a depressed sigh and said nothing.
"You need ice?" Zeb asked.
"No, I've had worse." Athena said.
"Your leg looks pretty bad, ya sure?" Zeb asked.
"Thank you, but no." Athena replied.
There was another silence between the human and lasat.
Ezra walked into the common room to see Zeb and Athena.
"Hey, Ezra." Athena said, still looking at her left foot.
"How you feeling?" Ezra asked.
"I don't know," Athena sarcastically said " I just broke my wrist, my leg, I haven't taken a real shower in days, I don't know where my brother ,Kanan ,or a girl that helped to save my life is and I had to sit in the hot desert with a broken wrist and leg, how do you think I feel? "
Ezra was taken back from what Athena just said. "Wow, um..."
Athena sighed "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take my frustrations onto you."
"You sure you don't want ice?" Zeb asked.
"No." Athena said melancholy.
"We have to put it in a splint,it's the best thing for it." Zeb suggested.
"I'm gonna wait." Athena said.
"You really shouldn't do that." Ezra said.
"Who knows, I might heal like I did when I got shot." Athena said.
"But you might not." Ezra pointed out.
"Just... just...just leave me alone. I don't want to talk." Athena said as she crossed her arms on her right knee that was bent upwards and barried her head in her arms.
"I know what you're going through," Ezra said.
"No you don't, I just want to be alone." Athena snapped and buried her head in her arms even more.
Zeb glanced at Ezra and they came to a silent agreement and they walked to their cabin, leaving Athena alone in the common room.
The door closed behind Zeb and Ezra sat on his bunk.
"You think we'll find Kanan?" Ezra asked.
"I don't know, but Athena sure seemed upset." Zeb replied.
"She was a foster kid, no family for so long that she could rely on. And then she losses her brother, that's gotta be hard."
"Yeah, do you know what to do?" Zeb asked as he sat on his bunk.
"I don't know, Kanan is the one who handles that usually." Ezra said.
"She's gotta get some kind of cast on her leg and wrist." Zeb said. "I don't get why she's so stubborn! She's just like Kanan!" Zeb exclaimed.
"Athena just needs time to cool off, " Ezra said "give her time."
"I'll give her an hour before I put the splint on myself." Zeb said, pointing at himself.
"Just give her time, and maybe I'll put the splint on her." Ezra suggested.
"Why would she have you put a splint?" Zeb asked, his arms crossed and eyebrow raised.
"She seems to have a small friendship with me." Ezra said.
"You sure you aren't trying to be a little more than just friends?" Zeb asked, eyebrow still raised and suspicion in his voice.
"No! She- I- just never mind!" Ezra exclaimed.
Zeb gave a toothy grin "You have a crush, don't you?"
"Zeb!" Ezra whined.
"Admit it,kid." Zeb teased.
"Zeb, I do not have a crush on my Master's little sister!" Ezra exclaimed as he threw himself back onto his bunk.
"Denial" Zeb said in a sing-song voice.
"Shut up." Ezra said, putting a pillow on his face.
"Yeah, wait until Kanan hears about this." Zeb said.
Ezra shot up from his bunk "No! Do not say anything!"
"Aw, you'd be an adorable couple." Zeb teased.
"Zeb!" Ezra yelled.
"Aw, come on kid. Ya know I'm just joking." Zeb said.
Ezra reclined back into a lying position on his bunk and began to think. "She is kinda cute." Ezra shook the thought out of his head. "No, I am not going to crush on my Master's little sister, Kanan would kill me."
