Making Amends
Damian Set the ship down on the landing pad and sighed, rubbing his eyes. He really didn't want to deal with Ahsoka, especially as hung over as he was. He opened the ramp and walked down it, finding Jek, Shaeeah, and Barriss waiting. All three threw their arms around him instantly.
"Oh my God, are you alright?" Barriss asked.
"What do you mean?" Damian asked.
"Ahsoka and I both had a vision about you fighting four Sith Stalkers," Barriss said. "What the hell happened?"
"In order to get these two, I had to agree to a delivery job," Damian said. "I stepped off the ship in Mustafar, however, and take a guess who was waiting. Four Sith Stalkers, just like Ahsoka said there should be. Where is she anyway?"
"She's making lunch," Jek said.
"Right," Damian sighed. "Barriss, why don't you and the kids have R3-S6 show you what all he can do with the ship and start offloading the supplies. And see if you understand him."
"I can," Barriss said. "It takes time, but you learn to understand them when you fight a war alongside them."
"Fair enough," Damian sighed. "R2-KT, you come with me. We have to go apologize to Ahsoka."
He walked inside with the droid following him and when he reached the kitchen Ahsoka turned, staring at him in silence. He sighed, opening his mouth to speak just as Ahsoka stepped forward, hugging him. He wrapped his arms around her, smiling and tucking his head into her shoulder.
"I'm sorry," Ahsoka said after a minute. "I'm so sorry. I never should have said what I did. I'm so so sorry!"
"It's alright," Damian said, running his hand lightly up and down her back. "It's alright Ahsoka. I'm not mad. I'm safe and I'm back. You don't have to worry about me. And I brought you a present."
Ahsoka pulled back, giving him an unsure look and Damian stepped aside, allowing Ahsoka to see R2-KT.
"Katie?" Ahsoka blinked. "Oh my god, Katie!"
She dropped to her knees, hugging the droid and the droid began to beep at her.
"Oh my God, I missed you too!" Ahsoka smiled. "I'm so glad you didn't get your memory banks wiped! How did you find her?"
"I went to Coruscant to find an astromech and bought an R3 for me and Barriss and her for you," Damian said. "You don't happen to know an R3-S6 do you?"
"You bought him?" Ahsoka asked. "That little piece of trash was a Separatist spy who almost got me, my master, and our personal Astromech killed!"
Katie began to beep and Ahsoka turned to her.
"Wiped?" Ahsoka asked. "You're sure? Completely?"
The droid beeped at her again and Ahsoka sighed.
"If you say so," Ahsoka said. "She says his memory banks were wiped so he's not a spy anymore. I still don't want him around me but you can have him if you want."
Damian nodded and sat in a chair.
"I'm sorry I had sex with Riyo Chuchi," Damian said. "I didn't mean to offend you or make you angry."
"It's alright," Ahsoka said. "I'm sorry for blasting you out through the window."
"It could have been worse," Damian shrugged.
Katie began to beep and Ahsoka looked over at her, eyebrows slightly elevated before lowering into an annoyed expression.
"How many did you fuck this time?" Ahsoka snarled.
"Three," Damian sighed. "At least I didn't do it around you."
Ahsoka stared at him in silence. Then, she turned away from him, returning to chopping up tomatoes, using much more force than necessary.
"How are you mad at me this time?" Damian asked. "I didn't have sex around you, like you wanted."
"That's not the point!" Ahsoka snapped.
"Then what?" Damian asked.
"You're a worthless piece of shit!" Ahsoka spat, turning to him, brandishing the knife. "You would fuck a Hut as long as it had tits and a place to stick it! You're not even worth the amount of time it's taken to train you!"
"Then why did you?" Damian asked.
"I don't know," Ahsoka said. "You asked. And now you don't even really care. You're just using the Force to be a smuggler. You're wasting your gift and you don't even care!"
"And what are you doing with yours!?" Damian snapped. "Hiding! At least I'm using mine! And my use of mine allows you to be able to afford to hide! My use keeps you safely hidden from the Sith Stalkers!"
"I never asked you to protect me!" Ahsoka snapped.
"Then maybe I'll stop!"
"Thank fucking God!" Ahsoka spat. "If I never see you again it'll be too soon!"
Damian curled his hands into fists but clamped his mouth shut, turning and storming out of the building and walking to the ship.
"We're finished," Barriss said as Damian stormed past her.
"Good, I'm leaving," Damian said.
"What?" Barriss asked. "For how long?"
"Forever," Damian snarled, punching the switch to close the ramp and walking to the bridge where R3 was checking one thing or another.
"Damian you can't just leave over a fight," Barriss said from the communicator. "She's just mad, she'll calm down."
"I don't care," Damian said. "I'm not a Jedi. I'm not an ex Jedi. I never will be. I'm a smuggler. It's all I ever have been and all I ever will be."
"So that's it?" Barriss asked. "After everything, you're just going to give up?"
"Barriss I'm not going to stay here and make her mad by existing," Damian said. "If she truly hates me that badly, then I'll stay out of her hair. And if she decides she regrets telling me to leave, she can tell me so if I decide to visit."
"She regrets it!" Barriss said. "Just get out of that ship!"
"Barriss, you now as well as I do," Damian said. "I'm no Jedi. I'm a criminal. I've always been a criminal. It was fun while it lasted, but it's time for me to stop pretending to be something I'm not."
"I'm a criminal too," Barriss said. "Should I go back to blowing people up?"
"You're a Jedi Barriss," Damian said. "You're a good person. I'm a worthless piece of shit. So I'll go and work for the rest of the worthless piece of shits that Hondo commands."
"Damian, you're not a worthless piece of shit!" Barriss said. "You're a good man!"
"R3, got out," Damian said. "You're Barriss's."
R3 beeped and turned, leaving the ship. Then, Damian lifted off and left, jumping to Hyperspace as soon as he could.
