Obi-wan sat, looking over his datapad to the steady beeping of the machines surrounding the bed next to him. The figure was as still as when they had first brought him in. Obi-wan sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. Could this be his fault? Could his best friend be in this hospital bed because he, Obi-wan Kenobi, Jeci Master and one of the heros of the Republic, could not solve his love issues on his own? Could Cody have been distracted in his battle because of lack of sleep? Would he ever get those answers. Obi-wan still remembered what Meds had told him before he had left only three hours earlier,"Hopefully, he'll wake up soon or even at all. He's pretty badly beaten up, plus the cold didn't help. He's a fighter, though. He should come out of it."
Obi-wan could still see the lost look on Echo's face as Odds led him out the room. The kid couldn't understand why the one person in his life, the man he saw as his father, the invincible man, was lieing in a hospital bed, fighting for his life. Odds had nodded sadly at Obi-wan as he had led Echo away, telling Echo they needed to get some rest. The bossman would want it.
"Hey, Obi-wan," someone called softly and Obi-wan looked up to see Anakin and Rex standing in the doorway. "Want some company?"
"Sure," Obi-wan nodded to the two other chairs in the room. "What are you two doing here?"
"Well, we both figured you'd be moping around here and I know Cody would hate to wake up to you looking miserable," Rex chuckled as he sat down.
"You know, it's not your fault," Anakin leaned forward. "He won't blame you and neither will we."
"How can you say that?" Obi-wan sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's my fault he couldn't focus on his fight."
"You don't know what happened. Maybe he ran into a group of Magna droids or maybe Ventress or Dooku," Rex pointed out.
"Or maybe it was just a few battle droids," Obi-wan looked down at his hands.
"Hey Jude, don't make it bad, take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her into your heart, then you can start to make it better," Anakin sang softly.
"If you want to make him feel better, go for her," Rex urged.
"Hey Jude, don't be afraid. You were made to go out and get her. The minute you let her under your skin, then you begin to make it better," Anakin continued to sing.
"We'll all thank you in the end," Rex sat back.
"And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders. For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool, by making his world a little colder, " Anakin nodded to Cody.
"Hey Jude, don't let me down. You have found her, now go and get her. Remember to let her into your heart, then you can start to make it better," Cody's voice filled their heads, but he remained absolutly still on his bed.
"So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin, You're waiting for someone to perform with and don't you know that it's just you? Hey Jude, you'll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder," Anakin and Rex began to sing again. "Hey Jude, don't make it bad, Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her under your skin, then you begin to make it better."
Obi-wan nodded, smiling," So I should just go tell her how I feel?"
"YES!" Rex and Anakini cried.
"Sir," A weak voice said from next to them and they turned to see Cody looking at them, blinking slowly. "I know she feels the same way about you."
"How do you know that?" Obi-wan raised an eyebrow.
Cody attempted to chuckle, but it turned into a cough," You guys aren't the only ones who like to visit me in the middle of the night. Go get her, sir."
"I will," Obi-wan nodded, standing. "Thank you, Cody."
"It wasn't your fault,either," Cody took Obi-wan's offered hand. it surprised Obi-wan how weak his grip was. "I ran into Dooku and a couple Magna droids and something was wrong with my comm unit."
"Thanks, Cody," Obi-wan smiled before rushing out of the room.
Cody looked over at Anakin and Rex, struggling to keep his eyes open," How long...have I been...in here?"
"A couple days," Rex sighed with relief. His buddy was back!
