"Ezra! I can't believe you're here! You're actually here!" Hera exclaimed, examining him to make sure he wasn't hurt.
"Yeah, can't breath! Kanan!" Ezra gasped when Kanan hugged him.
"Sorry," Kanan apologized while taking a step back, "I just missed you."
"Yeah, I can see that." Ezra said pulling away from Hera, "And I'm going to be black and blue all across my stomach thanks to Zeb and Sabine. I mean seriously guys! Punched then shot four times?!"
"Well, how we're we supposed to know it was you? The ship was an Emperial ship and you were dressed as an Emperial!" Sabine pointed out.
"Sorry, but it was kind of the only way to keep the inquisitive from noticing me." Ezra said turning to Sabine and Zeb.
"Woah, Ezra! What'd you do to your hair?" Kanan asked, shocked to see from behind Ezra's hair was pulled back into a ponytail.
"Oh, that." Ezra paused blushing, his hand trailing the ponytail to the end, "That was part of the disguise, sort of."
"The kid did pretty good, he's like a natural born pilot. But then again it does tend to run through the family." Sean said.
"Oh, that reminds me. Guys, this is Sean, my uncle." Ezra said going to stand by Sean.
"Yup, turns out Ezra is a lot like his mom, but he looks more like his father." Sean said with a proud smile as he crossed his arms.
"Wait, you never told me that I was like my mom." Ezra said looking at Sean.
"Hmm, must of slipped my mind." Sean mused aloud, "Anyway, your parents were part of our rebellion. Our code for 'everything is fine' or 'everything is going as planned' was 'The light in the dark is shining bright'. Our code for 'something's gone wrong' was 'The darkness surrounds the small light'. Your grandfather and his adopted son Clyde did the attacking whenever there was something to be stolen and then Clyde would sell it on the Black Market, your parents did the speaking out, and your mom's best friend and I got the intel they needed. Unfortunately when your mother allowed Gal Travis to join us...he turned us all in. Well, except for your mother's best friend and I. He never met us which, was a good thing I guess. Last I heard both Ephraim and Mira were taken in for questioning, and your grandfather and Clyde were taken in on account of treason, but I think Clyde escaped." Sean continued mainly to himself.
"Woah, my parents were part of a rebellion!" Ezra gaped, "Man you forgot to tell me a lot of things about my parents." Ezra continued with a smirk.
"Yeah, I'm a little scatterbrained." Sean chuckled.
"Wait, a moment ago you said Ezra was like a natural born pilot. How would you know if he could fly?" Hera asked.
"Uncle Sean taught me how to fly a TIE fighter and his ship over there." Ezra piper up cheerfully.
"Yeah," Sean chuckled, "I was surprised he'd never flown before. It had been a pretty smooth take off and landing for someone who'd never flown before. Isn't that right, Gale Alexy?"
Ezra laughed. "Yeah, Gale Alexy, at your service. How may I serve you master?" Ezra said in a fake accent with a bow.
"Gale Alexy? What's that about?" Kanan asked.
"I'll tell you later." Ezra grinned, "But let's just say it has to do with the Inquisitor."
"Well, you should probably be on your way." Sean said getting serious, "After all, we both have business to attend to. See you around, kid. Nice to know you're still alive, the Empire really made it look like you were dead. You understand that right? That I would have come for you if I knew you were still alive?" Sean finished with a hint of sadness.
"Of course I do! But it's probably for the best that it didn't happen like that or else I wouldn't have met Kanan and all of them." Ezra sighed giving his uncle a hug, "Bye, Uncle Sean, I'll miss you."
"Awe, shucks kid. But I'll probably see you around in the rebel business." Sean said.
"Alright, well, while you guys were talking Zeb and I got the crates loaded onto the Ghost." Sabine said.
"I guess it's time to go then." Hera said, "It was nice meeting you Sean."
Zeb and Sabine entered the Ghost first, then Kanan and Hera with Ezra not far behind.
Sean stood watching them then snapped his fingers as he remembered something important.
"Ezra, wait!" Sean called urgently causing Ezra, Hera, and Kanan to half turn and look back at Sean. "I can't be for sure, but I doubt the Empire killed your parents. They took them in for questioning and they kept getting transferred to different prisons for interrogation." Sean said gently.
"What are you getting at?" Ezra asked when Sean paused.
"I believe your parents are still alive, I believe they are still out there somewhere." Sean answered, "The last place I heard of them being was the prison in the Stigeon System. You might be able to find records of them being there and/or transfer orders on where they were moved."
"...Thanks, Sean...that means a lot." Ezra said, running back to hug his uncle one last time before going aboard the Ghost.
"It's good to have you back Ezra." Kanan said as the door to the Ghost closed and he pit his hand on Ezra's shoulder.
"Yeah, I missed you a lot, but Sean...he was a lot like my dad and took care of me." Ezra sighed, "I'd hurt my leg pretty bad but you could probably barely tell it was there now."
"Oh really?" Kanan asked mischievously as he threw his Pasadena over his shoulder like a sac and carried him into his room where he sat him down on the bed. Then he sat down beside him and grabbed his leg and pulled the pant leg up to see a thin scar going from about two inches below his knee to about three inches above his ankle. "I'd hardly be able to tell it was there, huh?"
"Well, you gotta give it some time!" Ezra exclaimed trying to squirm out of Kanan's hold.
"Ezra, you wouldn't happen to be ticklish would you?" Kanan asked with a glint of mischief in his eye.
"No, Kanan! No! Aaaaah! Kanan! Aaaah haaahaaa! Kanan! Aah haa haa haa!" Ezra squealed as Kanan quickly removed Ezra's boot and began to tickle his foot.
Eventually Kanan got tired of tickling Ezra and started running his hand through the exhausted boy's hair until he fell asleep. Then he pulled out a blanket and covered Ezra up before going to talk to Hera.
"So, his parents could still be alive." Hera thought aloud.
"You think we should look for them?" Kanan asked.
"Why not? Ezra would probably find out what happened to them sooner or later." Hera continued.
"After we run this mission we could look into it." Kanan suggested.
"When should we tell the others?" Hera asked.
"Whenever we can get them all into one room?" Kanan joked.
"Kanan." Hera warned.
"Right," Kanan said gathering himself, "We could tell them after we drop the supplies off. After all, they're all sleeping right now."
"Even Ezra?" Hera asked amazed that Ezra was out so soon.
"Yeah, I kind of tickled him to death." Kanan chuckled.
"What are you? His father all of the sudden?" Hera questioned giving Kanan a 'you can't be serious' look.
"Maybe." Kanan replied, "Maybe."
So that pretty much wraps up this fanfiction, but there's one more chapter which will basically be the prequel to the following fanfic.
In the following fanfiction you'll see Ezra get hurt and one or two chapters were there will be some brotherly Ezra x Zeb fluff, but that won't make up the next one. Basically this fanfiction is the start of a series where they search for Ezra's family and Ezra grows closer to the Ghost crew and they become like a family to him.
Well, if you have any questions, suggestions, etc. just let me know and I'll be happy to clarify, answer, etc.
