Chapter 6: run away babies
Nox and mender looked at each other and obi-wan suddenly straightened up and looked at the babies "you know nox i wonder why you haven't tried to kill me yet" mender asks and nox shrugs.
"Unlike you jedi sith don't kill infants" nox said and mender looks furiously at him "well at least we don't turn children into weapons" mender said angrily and nox simply raises an eyebrow. "Oh we don't? Then what do you call your padawans?" nox said and raised his arm up to block mender as she went to slap him and nox retaliated with a slap.
"Oh no you both don't" obi-wan says separating the two infant sitting them on his knees. "HE STARTED IT!" mender shouts not caring how much she sounds like a toddler having a tantrum. "And which side was it that was supposed to be the violent one i am sure it was supposed to be the sith" nox says folding his arms and looking away and obi-wan sighs realising what he was in for.
"Now you two are going to be raised like you are brother and sister you two are acting like it at least, but do try not to kill each other" obi-wan says seriously and nox and mender look at obi-wan. "WHAT!" both nox and mender says they both didn't want to be raised with each other and nox was VERY uncomfortable with being raised by a jedi.
"Now i am going to overlook this si-" obi-wan says being interrupted by nox "BUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO MY LIGHTSABER!?" nox whines and obi-wan wanted to facepalm nox was acting like anakin. "And mine?" mender says a bit more patiently and obi-wan decides to answer them "your lightsabers will be given to the both of you when you grow up a little" obi-wan says and the two infants look furious at him.
"What do you mean when we grow up?" nox says anger lacing his tone and obi-wan shakes his head as a knock is heard from the door "ah the supplies" obi-wan says sitting mender and nox on the sofa again. "Supplies?" they both say curious as teen age padawans walk in setting up stuff that made mender and nox blush, a playpen, high chairs (in blue and pink), a changing table and 2 bassinets one in black and the other in pink.
"Thank you young ones" obi-wan said to the padawans and they bowed and walked out of the apartment and a woman walks in and nox was confused but mender knew who this woman was in terms of rank. "Ah kenobi last time i saw you, you were in pull ups" tresnel says hugging obi-wan and nox and mender let out a little giggle at the jedi master.
"Good to see you too master trensel" obi-wan says hugging back then gestures to nox and mender "you think you can watch these two whilst i get some paperwork done? i have mission reports" obi-wan asks and tresnel nods. "It's my job kenobi" the giant woman says ruffling obi-wan's hair and going over to nox and mender and scooping them up into her arms.
With a sigh of knowing that nox isn't going to be able to get away with anything kenobi left the apartment as tresnel placed nox and mender into the playpen "shame your master could only get bassinets, but we ran out of cribs but don't worry lunch will be ready" tresnel says and walks into the kitchen of the apartment.
"Listen mendy i know you don't like the gunk they have been feeding us as much as i don't like it so you are going to help me" nox says and mender puts a hand on his lips "no way noxy" mender says knowing the nickname would stick. "No choice jedi" nox says pushing menders hand to one side "listen you really want to be fed more of that stuff?" nox adds and mender cringes at the thought of more mush "ok i am in" mender says and nox smiles.
Nox gets to his feet the diaper he was wearing was known to him once again making him blush as he went to the edge of the playpen and cupped his hands and kneeled down "ladies first" nox says quietly. Mender never really broke the rules before she was always a stickler for the rules and this was definitely a violation of them but she hated baby food so she went over to nox and put a foot in nox's cupped hands.
Nox manages to push mender over the top of the playpen and mender landed on the other side on her butt with a soft crinkle and she blushes as she opens the playpen "now what genius?" mender says as nox walks out. "Oh whatever you want mendy i am off to the library" nox says walking off well more like waddling and mender looked around and felt lonely she didn't like to be left alone so she went after nox "wait for me" she whispers.
As tresnel walks back 5 minutes later in with two bowls of homemade baby food she drops them seeing that nox and mender are gone and lets out a scream. "Did you sense that?" mender says to nox as they walked through the halls "i think that tresnel lady found out we are gone" nox says laughing a little.
"I am never going to understand you sith she is worried about us she is probably going to tell kenobi about it" mender says worried herself about being in trouble with their new caretaker.
As the two toddlers were met by a huge door nox smiles "and this must be the library" nox said pushing at the door but getting nothing and letting out a sigh, "help me with this will ya" nox says focusing the force on the door. Mender thinks for a moment then she starts to focus on the door and they both fling the door open with a woosh and a bang.
"KRIFF THAT WAS LOUD!" nox says in pained by the noise even when he was a cyborg his hearing wasn't this sensitive to pitches and mender had her ears covered "why do you sith curse so much?" mender asks as they enter.
Letting out a small whistle of admiration nox looked around on the spot "wow finally i get to read something from the jedi's library" nox said smiling a bit, "weird question but why are you happy to see a library? I prefer the inside of my meditation chamber" mender asks remembering her meditation chamber and all the weapons on its walls.
Nox at this point felt a little insulted "i am THE darth nox i am or was in charge of all the knowledge in the sith archive i have read every single holocron, book, scroll and tablet in there and i have studied every artifact and-" nox says as mender stops him with a hand on his mouth "yea yea you are a 1 man sith library" mender says then it clicks in her head.
"A 1 man sith library… he could restart the sith order as i knew it if it fell" mender thought as a old lady walks to them and looks down "aw what are you two doing here? Where is your caretaker?" the old woman who nox assumed was the librarian said as she picked mender and nox up and carried them to her desk sitting them on two seats.
"My name is nox" nox said and to menders shock gave a little bow and the old lady ruffled nox's hair "i know who you both are i am jocasta nu the librarian of the jedi order now would you two like something whilst you wait for master kenobi? I suppose you got past tresnel" jocasta says jokingly.
With a smile nox requests 1 holocron and mender requests a data pad with lightsabers schematics and jocasta hands nox a beginners jedi holocron and gave mender a kids book.
"Um jocasta this is a kids book" mender whines and jocasta gets down so she is eye level with mender "young lady i am not going to give a little girl weapon schematics that's for big girls and boys" jocasta says as nox studies the holocron.
"Now how to open it?" nox mutters to himself hovering the holocron attempting to open it with the force but the holocron refused to open "come on just open" nox said annoyed using more of his power to try and get it to open. "You're doing it wrong young nox" jocasta said snatching the holocron away from nox then gently took nox's tiny hands in one of hers hoving the holocron gently in nox's hands.
"Relax nox lets the force flow through you calmly just relax" jocasta says as nox takes over hovering the holocron and took a deep breath "ok relax, calm" nox says calming down letting the force flow through him the LIGHT side. Slowly the holocron floating in his hands began to open and mender went wide eyed "so sith CAN use the light side of the force" mender says giggling a little.
"I am doing it?" nox said opening his eyes and smiling at the floating holocron he felt good for once in his life he actually felt good about something but suddenly let the holocron shut and drop when a familiar voice came in.
"THERE YOU TWO ARE!" tresnel shouts running into the library and to both nox and menders surprise jocasta let out a little laugh "you lost track of 2 younglings? Losing your touch my old padawan" jocasta says and both nox and mender were confused.
"Hey they are not normal babies it does not count" tresnel says as a familiar man taps her shoulder "2 force sensitive children with the minds of a 42 and 32 year old man and woman respectively still counts in my books" obi-wan says walking in.
"MASTER KENOBI!" mender shouts out gesturing to be picked up and obi-wan picks up mender and nox "she was going to feed us some disgusting mush so nox convinced me to help him get out it's his fault" mender says pointing to nox. "Oh you utter snitch" nox says folding his arms as jocasta approaches obi-wan.
"Master kenobi young nox just learned how to channel the light side of the force so don't be too harsh on him" jocasta says handing nox the holocron he was just working on and nox held it in his hands. Obi-wan just felt not anger but pride and mender was shocked when obi-wan smiled "il let you off for running off but do know you both gave me quite the fright" obi-wan says bouncing nox and mender a little.
"Now thinking of lunch how about we go out to eat?" obi-wan says smiling
