Fives dipped beneath the lightsaber as fast as he could, but was slammed against the wall by something hitting his middle. It burned, but he didn't have time for that. Krell was a windmill of rage, and Fives remembered how good of a fighter he was. 212th and 501st soldiers fired their weapons pinning Krell in the center of the room. Not for long though. Fives cursed as he watched the slaughter around him. Burning plasma slashed through plastoid armor and flesh.

Pulling his blasters the ARC jumped into the fight. Blaster fire, the humming of a pair lightsabers, and screams filled the room as the 501st and the 212th pushed back the jedi.

"Stun him! Stun him," Fives yelled out as he watched a few plasma bolts bounced off Krell's blades and hit a few troopers.

The group around him followed the order and switched to stun. Six or seven shots fired off at once and Krell hit the ground. Fives hesitated as he stared at the unconscious body of the asshole. Lowering his blaster the ARC glanced around. There was still a lot of brothers dead. Maybe less than last time, but still. Brothers killed by jedi.

It took Rex a minute until his adrenaline ran out. Turning his head to look over at Cody the captain nodded. The blonde turned to look at Fives anger rising in him slightly. However; that anger diluted when he saw pain shoot through Fives. The type of pain that never meant anything good. Lowering his hand to his middle Fives felt the heat hovering over the small gash mark that burned into his armor. Panic seizing the blonde darted forward to Fives who had hit the ground on one knee.

"Medic!"

"Kriffing hells!"

"I can't see! I can't see!"

"M-my leg! My leg!"

/—/—/

The ARC flenched when a hand clamped down on to his shoulder pulling him out of the conversation with Kix. Turning his head he saw Rex dragging him backwards out of med-bay. He hadn't been badly injured just enough that his leg gave out on him lightly.

"Rex I'm fine," Fives said trying to get out of the hold only to be nearly slammed into the wall.

The anger in the touch is what worried Fives. Rex rarely got angry, but when he did it was normally not because of something small. Rex had a hand splayed out in the middle of Fives chest keeping him pinned to the wall. The ARC tried to meet the blonde's gaze through the visor of the captain's helmet, but he couldn't. Fives had seen Rex angry before. He had even had Rex be angry at him and Echo before. This was different. This wasn't anger. This was rage.

"We're talking about this now. You are not fine. Far from it. You have gotten better a lying, Fives, but you're still not as good as you would like," Rex seethed his voice a low growl compared to what his normal anger sounded like.

Fives tried to protest only for Rex's growl to cut him off. The ARC averted his gaze swallowing heavily.

"How long? How long has he tortured you like that," Rex asked the pure rage in his voice making it shake.

"Rex I—"

"How long!?"

Fives winced at the yell tensing beneath Rex's touch. He was good at hiding stuff like this. After Umbara he had gotten real good at it, but Rex seemed to be more aware of him this time.

"Three days."

The words were spoken so quiet that he was half-hoping Rex wouldn't hear them. Rex's jaw clenched tightly as he stared at Fives. The ARC that had ordered no one to be alone with the fake jedi, had been taking the pain for everyone else.

"Stupid. You're so stupid! Idiot ARC. Don't you ever take that type of pain again. You understand me," Rex finally replied to the words his voice raw and broken as he lifted the hand off of Fives's chest to the ARC's cheek.

"Rex… I was just…," Fives tried only to be cut off by Rex pulling him for a tight hug.

"Don't. Don't ever do that again," Rex repeated again.

"I…I promise," Fives said quietly wrapping his arms around the captain guilt building in his chest.

"Good cause I can't lose you," Rex said pulling away and setting his forehead against Fives'.

/—/—/

"See they're doing the forehead thing! I'm telling you they are a thing," Hardcase gleamed from inside the Med-bay watching the two.

"Hardcase," Dogma hissed at the heavy specialist.

"Just leave it alone," Kix said as he helped one of Cody's men set their leg back into place.

"Oh c'mon Kix. You know you find it hilarious that neither of them have noticed their feelings for each other," Jesse laughed on the other side of the Med-bay.

"I do, but I don't act on it."

/—/—/

"When will he wake up," Cody asked looking at his Chief Medical officer.

"A few minutes sir," the medic replied looking at Krell nervously.

"Good. I'm gonna rip him a knew one for what he's done."

Writers block has finally ended! Thank you everyone who has given me a few suggestions! The next chapters are going to take a little longer to plan out and write, but don't worry I'm back into writing so they should come out within the next few days or week.

Love you guys!
