Pass Times

Damian stretched, yawning and putting his hands behind his head, several tools and weapons and spare parts floating around his head in alternating orbits.

"Your connection to the Force is getting stronger by the day," Ahsoka said. "You're almost scary."

"No, that Sith Stalker was scary," Damian snorted, opening his eyes and looking at Barriss and Ahsoka, who were flying the shuttle. "What is a Sith Stalker anyway?"

"A Sith Stalker is a Force Sensitive individual, surgically augmented by the Sith and then trained for years to use the Force and fight, having their augmentations upgraded all the time. The pain they feel from the augmentations serves to strengthen them even more. Eventually, they become so strong that they can even challenge a Sith Lord, a Dark Side user and the eternal enemy of the Jedi."

"Once they reach that point, their first test is to track down and kill a Jedi," Barriss said. "Their last test is to kill a Sith Lord. After that, they work for the ruling Sith Lord as whatever he wants, whether it's a body guard, an assassin, or even a janitor."

"A janitor?" Damian asked.

"If the Sith wanted a Sith Stalker janitor, then sure," Barriss shrugged. "In this case, the Emperor, Darth Sidius, would have sent the Sith Stalker to either find you, find us, or find a Jedi to kill."

"I don't think it's that simple," Damian said. "He was never trying to kill me. He only tried to scare me into running, and he was constantly telegraphing everything he did. At most it seemed like he was testing me."

"Sith Stalkers don't telegraph," Barriss said. "Maybe he was testing you. Maybe Darth Sidius know whose family you come from and wants you as an apprentice, or a Sith Stalker."

"There's a happy thought," Damian snorted. "Surgically implanted tubes and claws. Where oh where do I sign up?"

"Relax," Ahsoka said. "I'm not going to let them take you."

"Because you want my lightsaber?" Damian smirked, Ahsoka glaring at him.

"Actually it's because I don't want a pissed off Dark Side using Shan chasing me," Ahsoka said. "I like being alive."

"Whatever you say," Damian said, setting everything back where he found it. "Anyway, how long until we get wherever we're going?"

"About another day," Ahsoka said. "It's in the opposite side of the Outer Rim, and we need to avoid all of the most heavily Imperial populated areas."

"So I'm stuck on this ship with nothing to do for another day?" Damian groaned. "I'm going to lose my mind."

"Go play with the kids or something," Ahsoka said.

"Cut won't let me near them because I didn't save Suu," Damian said, shoulders sinking.

"Don't beat yourself up about it," Barriss said. "You tried."

"I could have," Damian said. "If I had acted sooner."

"What's done is done," Barriss said. "Thinking about it will only make you regret it more."

Damian sighed and nodded, then stood, walking out of the cockpit and to the room he shared with Rex. Rex was asleep in his bed so Damian climbed up to his own bed above Rex's and sat down, closing his eyes and reaching out to the Force. He felt it washing over him, filling him, and flowing through him. it was the first time he had been able to immerse himself so completely in the Force. It felt, right. Natural. After several seconds, he realized he couldn't feel the bed. He looked down, seeing himself hovering a couple inches over the bed. He smiled, closing his eyes again, continuing to meditate for several more hours. Finally, he floated himself back to the bed, then dropped to the floor, walking out of it and to the cargo area, finding several crates. He opened them and found that they were filled with everything from weapons, to explosives, to food. He sat in the middle of the room focussing and lifting himself about a foot off the floor before closing his eyes and lifting the crates, beginning to move them on alternating orbits. He continued this for several minutes before the door opened and he sensed one of the other two Jedi in the shuttle step into the room. He smiled, setting the crates down and stood, turning to the door and finding Barriss standing there smirking at him.

"So you float now," Barriss smiled. "Impressive."

Damian nodded slowly, eyes roving over her body, except that this time, he wasn't staring at her feminine parts. This time he was staring at the near-invisible aura around her. It glowed whitish blue over her heart and around her head, but the rest was barely visible. It reached a couple inches from her body, and seemed to be moving from the air around her to her body. At a guess, about a fifth was glowing and only dully.

"See anything you like?" Barriss asked after a couple of seconds of letting him stare.

"A lot," Damian grinned. "And also a couple things that confuse me."

"Oh, like what?" Barriss asked, walking over to him with her hips swaying seductively before looping her arms around his neck.

"Like the barely-visible aura around you," Damian said. "It glows over your heart and around your head but the rest is barely there."

"Is that right?" Barriss grinned, leaning in until her lips were barely brushing his as she spoke. "You know what confuses me? As bored as we are, we're both fully clothed."

"You're right," Damian grinned. "We'll have to fix that."

Then, he leaned in, Barriss's tongue meeting his own instantly, seconds before Barriss jumped, wrapping her legs around his waist as he caught her by her ass. He turned, walking to a crate and setting her on top of it, roughly kneading her ass. Then, they separated, both yanking their shirts off before being fused at the lips again. One of Damian's hands moved to roughly knead Barriss's breast while the other continued with her ass. Then, the hand on her ass moved around tot he front, slipping into her pants and running through her slit and over her clit for several seconds before two fingers roughly shoved themselves inside of her, thrusting hard and fast into her. Barriss tilted her head back, moaning loudly just before someone cleared their throat behind Damian. Damian turned, not bothering to pull his hand out of Barriss's pants as he stared at Ahsoka. She was blushing and trying not to look, and he could see an aura around her as well, with slightly more of hers glowing than Barriss's.

"W-We're nearing the first refueling stop," Ahsoka stammered. "I'll need Barriss in about five minutes."

Then, she left the room so fast she seemed to practically teleport.

"Plenty of time," Damian said before reattaching his lips and tongue to Barriss's own.

Then, they continued as though there had been no interruption.
