Hey everyone! So sorry this update is really late. Had school finals and other the distractions. But most of all. v.v I procrastinated a lot… Sorry.

But anyway, here is the chapter! I hope you all enjoy. :) If any of you have ideas for the future chapters I would love to hear them.

Disclaimer: I do not own rebels. If I did it surely would not be the awesomeness that it is.


A young raven haired cadet rest on his back within his bunk, electric blue eyes staring up at the ceiling. He seemed completely focused on the grey surface and yet at the same time not at all. 'What am I doing here. I should be back on the ship.' Ezra mentally sighed. The crew had assigned him to a mission of his own. Infiltrate the Imperial cadet compound and acquire the coordinates to a kyber crystal shipment.

Though Ezra found it kind of comforting to be back in familiar surroundings, he couldn't help but feel off. Like he wasn't supposed to be there. Though mostly he denied it, Ezra couldn't help but grow fond of the Specters these past few months, if only a little. The Lasat, at least that's what he learned what Zeb is, was a big annoying furball that always seemed to find away under his skin. And yet Zeb had stuck up for him, even help the teen from getting shot by 'troopers. Thea annoying astromech, chopper, was a different story. Like Zeb, rustbucket just loved to mess with Ezra and see just how far he could push the teen. Sabine was a diffrent from the others. She was a bit rough around the edges but an amazing artist. She could be easy to get along with at times though that wasn't always the case. The slightly older teen was even easy on the eyes and if she wasn't an insurgent Ezra would have considered taking a liking to her. The Twi'lek, Hera, was something different. She almost like a mother to Ezra, but he just shook his head, aiming to remove the thought. 'I only had one mother and she betrayed me.' And yet Ezra found himself comfortable at the thought of being around her. Finally there was that jedi. In all his life Ezra had never met someone who had made him feel as conflicted as Kanan. The man knew Ezra could use the force before the teen knew it himself. When he was with the man Ezra could not help but feel at ease. Which often bothered the kid. He couldn't let his guard down around anyone, especially the jedi.

Growling under his breath, Ezra frustratedly grabbed at his hair and sat up in his bunk. It was more than just the crew on his mind. There was the Inquisitor too. That Pau'an seemed to just send a chill up the teen's spine at just the thought of him. But why should he think of the man in such a way. After all they were on the same side after all, right? So why was it every time he saw the man, Ezra wanted nothing more than to get as far away as possible?

With an exasperated sigh, the kid flopped back onto his back and returned his gaze on the steely grey ceiling above, his mind increasingly being consumed with the thoughts of the crew and the Inquisitor.

"Hey Dev, you alright?" A teen with reddish-brown hair called from the bunk below, only to get silence as a response. "Dev?" Jai called again, a bit louder than before. Finally catching the young man's attention, Ezra rolled onto his side and peered over the bunk.

"Yeah fine." He answered with a slight groan looking down at his friend, only to receive a questioning look.

"Don't tell me you're getting scared now?"

"Why? You still want another chance to try and beat me?" Ezra said with a chuckle before rolling over and returning his earlier position of staring up at the ceiling, smile quickly vanishing. From where he was he could hear Jai below mumble something before moving around and probably returning to a point of rest. During the past few weeks the two cadets had grown close. Ezra even considered the other teen as a friend. Which he found rather odd, considering he never needed friends in the Empire before. But now that he actually had one, he found himself caring about what would become of him. Which is why Ezra had come up with a plan to get Jai and Zare, a fellow cadet that promised to aid in his rebel mission, out of the complex before tomorrow afternoon.

'What am I thinking going against the Empire like this...' Ezra let out a low sigh and slowly closed his eyes, cutting off his vision of the dismal ceiling. He knew why. He couldn't let his friend anywhere near the Inquisitor. That man just had bad vibe about him. Even if he was with the Empire, Ezra felt like the Pau'an could not be trusted.

The thought of him helping a friend from the Empire made the young male think back to when the crew had helped those people back at Tarkin Town. 'Was the Empire really the bad guys?' For most of his life he was told that they were distilling order amongst the galaxy and yet were they really helping? As Ezra thought back he began to reflect on the situation and ones similar to the two grunts arresting the merchant the day he met the Ghost crew. 'They weren't helping the people of lothal, they were bullying everyone into submission...'

Another thought quickly slipped into the boy's mind drawing his attention. 'Were my parents really trying to do good and help people?' But as soon as that question came to mind Ezra quickly shook it away. 'No. The were of no help to anyone. What they did was betray the Empire. Betray me.' Ezra thought with a growl, rolling over onto his side, arm now holding his head in position from beneath the pillow.

Thats wat it. Ezra had enough. He couldn't let himself get distracted. He needed to stay on mission. He needed to focus on finishing gathering more intel from the rebels and return to Agent Kallus. Enough time was wasted debating sides. He was an agent of the Empire, nothing more.
