"So you can see we are fully operational"
Padme said as she expertly moved through the ice tunnels the rebellion had made. Beside her Obi Wan nodded, but did not answer, Padme felt her patience begin to give, in politics she was used to double motives but she could always pinpoint a weakness that was what enabled her to see through the scheming of Palpatine and evade his black list.
The black list held every senator who was considered a threat; on it were several of Padme's closest friends including Bail Organa, Mon Mothma and CeCe. Each had a bounty on their head, thankfully they had created and maintained the rebellion, a force that would challenge Imperial rule and one day free the galaxy.
Padme always believed you should aim big when you wanted to achieve your goals and she had a good reason too, Naboo and Aldeeran had both been destroyed in a duel attack, the planets had been resisting Imperial rule, small things at first until it was made to seem that annihilation was necessary.
Padme felt dangerously close to fury when she thought about the collective lives lost, without realizing it Padme felt her hand clench into pocket.
"You should let your anger go, Padme" the Jedi advised from beside her. Embarrassed Padme stared stonily at the Jedi.
"Do not presume to tell me what to do, Master Jedi, I am not your padawan and I am most defiantly not my brother"
Obi Wan said nothing for a moment, merely lifted his brows.
"Indeed you are not your brother, Anakin has still a spark of humanity within him, even against those who have hurt him the most"
Padme stopped walking, standing in front of the Jedi and staring at him.
"I have humanity, I care about each and every person under my command in this rebellion I..."
Obi Wan raised his arm to encompass where they were standing, around them rebel agents bustled around them.
"You are led by your hatred and grief senator Amidala, this is very dangerous for you, you care about those under your command but you have lost your reason and your compassion for the all instead of the one. Your mind lingers on Naboo and with it anger and revenge."
Padme felt tears prick her eyes as she thought of Naboo but she levelled Obi Wan with an icy stare.
"You know nothing" she stated, unaware that she had taken another step towards him.
"Don't ever tell me what I am feeling, you are such a great Jedi and yet you didn't see Palpatine's evil, you talk of revenge and compassion when you show neither, you're whole order is based on lies and coldness"
She backed away, while she still could, his expression remained emotionless, much like Anakin's when he had learned he would never see again, it had broken Padme's heart to see him in such a state, and she blamed the Jedi. +
The Jedi would not help bring peace to the galaxy, it was up to her, and she wouldn't work with one either.
