Unsure of where the original comic for this takes place as it isn't blatantly stated, so I'm using Coruscant. If you've read it, pretend the whole thing only takes place in the city as Coruscant does not have any wildlife.

Also, I just saw Endgame last night and I am super giddy right now, so here you go.

3 BBY

Fingers gripped the sides of a sink. The bathroom was nice, too nice for Kaleena's comfort. She grew used to small, humble spaces. Dirty spaces. She slightly regretted breaking into one of the nicer apartments on Coruscant. It was rare, but she occasionally wanted a good view of the Jedi Temple. She didn't dare go near it, but she would break into apartments that were on the surface and empty in order to see it.

Water dripped from her face as she splashed her face to wake up. She had to get moving. The owners of the lovely apartment would undoubtedly be back soon. She had been there too long. After packing up what little things she had, Kaleena took off right before the sun started to rise.

Kaleena made her way quickly to the lower levels of the planet. No one bothered her. She traveled like a shadow in the darkness until her datapad chimed with an update. Kal slid into a small alleyway and pulled her datapad out of her backpack. Whenever a new bounty went out for someone last seen on Coruscant, Kal got a notification. The new bounty was wanted dead or alive and wasn't deemed dangerous. Exactly the type of bounties that Kaleena went after.

Since landing on Coruscant months prior, Kaleena had updated her wardrobe and gear, losing a lot of credits quickly for clothing, food, and black market goods. And the occasional room to stay in. Her padawan braid sat snuggly with her bracelet of kyber crystals in the pouch on her thigh. To earn money, she began taking up the occasional bounty that didn't require killing. Many of them required a chase and/or a beating, and she still didn't know how to use blasters. They were mostly for show. Coruscant also didn't provide any areas to practice shooting without being suspicious. This left Kal with honing her hand-to-hand combat skills. Sometimes she picked up a pipe to hit someone with. Those skills would never leave her. She wouldn't let them.

The last known location of Bendu Fry, according to the bounty listed, was a cantina two levels below her. While staking it out, she didn't see the wanted Devaronian at all. She didn't truly expect to see him there. If he had any inkling of being wanted and if he was smart, that was the important part, Fry wouldn't stay anywhere too long. And there were a lot of cantinas on Coruscant.

Kaleena made a beeline for the bar, specifically the bartender. The bartender was an older female Falleen. While an alien, like most of the cantina occupants, her green skin still stood out amongst the other patrons in the room. Kaleena leaned against the bar and got her attention.

The bartender looked at Kal with mistrust but leaned closer to speak anyway. "Why are you in my bar, child?" the Falleen asked shrewdly.

A few credits were slipped onto the bar counter. "I need information." The Falleen looked at Kal expectantly, wanting more than a few credits. Kaleena begrudgingly set a few more onto the surface.

The Falleen was pleased, picking up the credits and putting them into her own pocket. "What can I help you with?"

Kaleena held up her datapad, showing the picture of Bendu Fry. "Have you seen him lately?"

The bartender looked closely at the picture. "Hmm, he was here a few days ago. Comes around every once in a while telling jokes to any girl who will listen, but between you and me, they're just in it for the free drinks."

While interesting, that wasn't exactly what Kaleena was hoping for. "Anything else?"

"You know, at my age memory isn't what it used to be." The look on the bartender's face was clear as day. She knew more. She wanted more credits. Yet again, Kaleena placed a few more credits out. "Oh, look at that. It's all coming back to me." The smile on the Falleen's face made Kaleena sick at the greed in the galaxy. "Fry bar hops, a lot. He never really goes far, sticking to the same few levels. This one and the two below." Kaleena nodded in thanks and was about to turn and walk away. "Wait, kid. Word of advice: he likes to talk. He'll offer many things in exchange for his life."

Unsure of why that was important, Kaleena still nodded and made her way out of the cantina. She had a Devaronian to catch. She traveled to many different cantinas as quickly as she could before finding Fry chatting up two scantily-clad female Twi'leks. The cantina was fairly busy and disgusting, so Kal decided against confronting him inside. Waiting outside of a cantina is also sketchy, so she decided to wait on a separate walkway across from the cantina. She had a perfect view of the main entrance and would be able to follow Fry once he left and catch him in an alley.

She rested her arms on the railing in order to act natural. Waiting patiently was never her strong suit.

"I-I don't know where he is! I swear!" a squeaky man exclaimed down the walkway. A threatening figure covered in Mandalorian armor shoved him aside. As the bounty hunter walked past Kaleena, she spotted a holographic image of Bendu Fry flicker off from one of his wrist gauntlets. He was after the same bounty. From the sound and looks of it, he didn't know Fry was in the cantina just below, only in this general area.

Considering Fry most likely wasn't going anywhere anytime soon, Kal decided to follow the intimidating bounty hunter. She didn't get very far.

A few minutes later in a dark alley, Kaleena was shoved up against a wall, a gloved hand wrapped around her neck. "Why are you following me, kid?" he questioned. The bounty hunter was strong and certainly not stupid. The voice behind the helmet also indicated that he was male.

"That's not my name," Kal choked out quietly, trying to pry his fingers off her throat. She envisioned him rolling his eyes.

His grip tightened further. "I will kill you if you don't answer me."

Kaleena only saw one way out of this. "I know where Bendu Fry is." The bounty hunter let her go. She collapsed on the cold ground, gasping and choking for air.

The man knelt down in front of her. "How do you know I'm after him?"

The young girl looked up at the green and red helmet, not seeing eyes underneath. "Maybe you should try turning off holograms faster."

He ignored her jab. "What do you want for the location?"

"Half the bounty," she replied, picking herself up from the ground. The bounty hunter laughed sharply and stood. Kaleena narrowed her eyes and folded her arms over her chest. Unlike the small, squeaky guy down the platform, the bounty hunter didn't scare her. While she was intimidated, she now knew what to expect. "I didn't find it that unreasonable. I found him. The only reason I don't have him is because I'm going to corner him."

"A third," he said quickly.

She was surprised he didn't turn her down completely and smirked. She definitely thought negotiating was going to be harder. "Uh, okay. Deal." Then she noticed the jetpack on his back. "Does that thing work?" Kal gestured to the pack.

"Yes, why?"

"Follow me." Kaleena jumped off the platform, onto the beam ten feet below. Her steps were quick and silent as she crossed the beam to the other side of the gap. Then she hung by her arms and dropped down onto the walkway near the front of the cantina that had Fry.

The bounty hunter stood momentarily from the platform, watching the girl cross with skill. He shook off any surprise with ease and followed her over using his jetpack. After landing, he turned to her. "You know, I could've flown us both over."

"Where's the fun in that?" Kaleena and the bounty hunter then walked into the cantina and stood together just inside the entrance. She nodded over to the Devaronian still flirting with the girls.

"Are you even old enough to be in a cantina?"

"Maybe. I really don't think they care. Are you going to get him, or what?"

The bounty hunter stalked forward, makes his way directly to Fry's table. Kaleena followed, keeping a short distance away. "An Ewok and a Gungan walk into a bar, and the bartender says-" Fry cuts off his own joke as the bounty hunter stops in front of his table and points a blaster at him. "Boba Fett!"

Fett. The name hits Kaleena like a bus. He was notorious in the Outer Rim. "Bendu Fry. You are wanted by Black Sun for-" Fry flips the table forward and tries to make a break for it, but Fett calmly used his whipcord launcher to apprehend Fry. Fry collapsed on the floor, his legs tangled in cord. Fett stood over him menacingly, holding up his blaster. "Running is pointless."

"Wait! Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" Fry pleaded. "I've got something better to offer you!" Fett hesitated, allowing Fry to speak. "There's a rumor about a Jedi that's on this very planet!" Kal froze and stared wide-eyed at the Devaronian. He couldn't possibly know about her, could he? She never dared to bring out her lightsaber ever since she landed and she never used the Force visibly. Fry wasn't done trying to talk his way out of it. "Everybody knows how you helped the Empire wipe them out, so the bounty on one who managed to slip through the cracks is gonna bring in way more than some slag like me." Fett didn't reply. "Come on! The chance to take down one more Jedi isn't something the great Boba Fett is about to pass up."

The scum was right. Fett lowered his blaster. "Where?" Fry divulged all the information he had and Kaleena relaxed. It wasn't her, but the information sounded real. Fry crawled up and away, picking up where he left off: drinking and flirting. Fett stood close to Kal. He shoved a comlink into her hand. "I'm going to check it out. Watch him. If he tries anything, shoot him."

Kaleena couldn't answer, but Fett didn't expect a reply. He hurried out the door, leaving Kal alone in a dirty cantina. She took a seat in the back corner of the cantina so she could see everything. As time passed, Fry occasionally looked over at her, scared, but she stayed put, thinking about the Jedi killer she had met. Boba Fett had killed Jedi, people like her father, or at least helped the Empire hunt them down. She didn't know how that made her feel.

He's a bounty hunter. He simply did a job and got paid. The fact that they were Jedi probably meant nothing to him. Depending on his age, he probably barely even knew about the Jedi or at least was fairly young when the Jedi were still around. Her father would be disappointed in her, she knew. But she couldn't bring herself to care. The Jedi were responsible for millions of deaths throughout the galaxy. Sure, they also saved people, too, but they weren't in the right. They weren't in the wrong either. They were doing their jobs, just like Boba Fett.

A few hours passed before the comlink from Fett beeped. Kal quickly answered it, the bounty hunter's voice ringing out before she could say anything. "Kill him."

Nothing else was said. Either the tip was wrong, the Jedi was elusive, or Fett didn't kill the Jedi. The last one didn't sound right, but Kaleena wanted to choose that one. His order, however, wasn't something she was sure she could do. Hondo's words about her first ship hijack echoed in her memory. It was hard. She'd already killed a krayt dragon. How hard would a person be?

She slowly rose out of her seat, plucking one of her blasters from her side and gripping it tightly. Her arm guards ate into her skin as she strolled over to the Devaronian's table. It wasn't different. It wasn't different. She stopped in front of Fry's table and raised her blaster. "Boba Fett sends his regards," she told the frightened man. It wasn't different. She pulled the trigger, blasting Bendu Fry. Kaleena let out the breath she was holding, clipped her blaster to her belt, and walked out of the cantina, leaving all the patrons shocked at the sight of Bendu Fry's dead body. It wasn't different.

Just outside the cantina was Boba Fett, leaning against the wall. He wanted to see if she'd actually do it. And she did. "You're not so bad, kid."

Kaleena glared at him. "I have a name, and I'm not a kid."

Fett kicked off the wall and stood in front of her. "You're younger than me and that makes you a kid. As long as you listen to me, you can stick around. Assuming you have nowhere else to go." He turned around, ready to walk, and glanced back at her. "You coming?"

Kal looked around at the dingy streets and raised her chin before replying to the offer. "Yes."
