This chapter will be short, and the next chapter will be either Trespass or Blue Shadow Virus. Thanks again for the all the support.

I own none of the content, except for Tessa.


Reunion

Once the Gunships were sent and landed, the small group, and the prisoners got on one, and soon took off. While the others checked around the planet to see if there was any more droid activity. She didn't know what would happen with the Lurmen. She thought it was a good idea, to have a military presence on or near the planet, considering the Separatists could return at any time. But then she thought that a military presence would only bring the Separatists back anyway. She was on the fence on that thought.

She was pretty tired after what had happened for the past couple of days, including the battle with the droids. Even though she sorta had a vacation while stranded on the planet, but she was still worried part of the time about if they would all be found or not.

She didn't see anyone of Delta Squad on the Gunships. And she was ready for whatever they would do to welcome her back, especially Fives, Echo and Cutup, considering they would've been the most worried about her.

Once they got back on the Resolute, a squad of Medics, she didn't see Coric, met them, and immediately tended to General Skywalker first. From what she heard, the battle had sorta aggravated his previous injuries, nothing really serious, but he would have to be put in the Bacta for a while.

She and the others had to go to the Med Bay for a mandatory check. She thought it was unnecessary, considering they all got some of the Lurmen's healing oil, but she guessed the stuff could only do so much.

As soon as she got in, she spotted a familiar Medic with a shaved head. Coric was waiting by a bed with a Data-Pad in his hand.

Tessa walked over to it, and stood in front of Coric.

"You just had to go missing. You had us all worried sick." He said, fixing her a glare.

Tessa shrunk a little and said," Not-"

Coric placed his hand on her shoulder and said sincerely," But it's great you're alive and back, sister." He said and hugged her.

Tessa hugged her brother back and said," C'mon Cor, I'm too stubborn to die. And your lives would be so boring without me."

Coric snorted as he let go of her and said," Yeah, our lives were boring and filled with no hope in sight before you came along. Get undressed into your body suit. Once we're done, we'll head to the barracks. My shift was going to be over soon anyway."

"And what, what kind of a personal life do you have brother?" She teased.

Coric rolled his eyes good naturally and said," I have a life besides being a medic. Alright let's check you out."

"You sure, I always thought you all stood at attention until an order is given, like Rex." Ahsoka teased, who was seated next to Tess, and they both giggled.

"Great, they're becoming friends." Coric muttered as he checked on his sister.


Tessa did brace herself when she walked into the Barracks. But she felt her ribs were breaking when all three of her brothers rushed and hugged her, tightly. She wasn't surprised about their love and affection for her, they always showed it, but they rarely hugged her.

The rest of Delta looked on in amusement, and they would never admit it, but they found the moment touching. There were other clones from various other Squads or Company's who thought the same.

"Do you realize how worried we were? Jeez Tess, don't do that again." Fives said.

"Yeah, jeez, we were going crazy." Cutup said.

"Been working non-stop with the shifts in communications. Your message was genius." Echo praised, and seemed to hug her tighter.

Yep, something broke.

"Guys… you're suffocating me, can you let me go now." She wheezed out.

"Oh, sorry." Fives sheepishly said, and they let her go.

Tessa took a deep breath, and cracked her back.

"Karabast, never knew you guys were such softies. And that strong." She joked.

One of the clones, who she remembered was from Tango Company, and was nicknamed Havoc said from his bunk," Well can you blame them, or any of us? You're our only sister, and there's many of us, and only one of you, so it gives us a good reason to worry." He said, and everyone nodded at that.

Tessa knew that he was right, but she knew they weren't smothering, or treating her like she's made of glass. But, she had a feeling that would be the case in the future if she didn't talk to them about it.

Tessa sighed, gave everyone a grateful look and said," I appreciate you guys for caring, and trying to find us. It means a lot." Her face then got serious. "But, that doesn't mean you all can start treating me like I'm glass or something. I will fight back if any of you try to keep me safe unnecessarily or try to say I can't do anything that might be dangerous, well within reason. Ya hear me? I can act like your all being mean to me, and complain to the General, Commander or Captain."

She the last part as a joke, but she was serious about the parts before. She looked at everyone, and they had looks of acceptance, and also amusement. Her squad had the same, but they looked sorta exasperated, due to knowing how she acted.

"Right, since we got that out of the way, care to tell us how your vacation was?" Cutup asked, and a couple of clones chuckled.

She rolled her eyes and said," If you call crashing, dealing with the local wildlife, and fighting a Battalion of droids as a vacation, brother. Then you have a screw loose."

That got more laughs, and Cutup rolled his eyes at her. She then sat on her bunk, and started to tell everyone what happened for the past couple of days.
