A/N: so I think after last night's episode we all need a fic on it. SO this one takes place the night after the "Holocrons of Fate". WE NEED THIS PEOPLE


It was the middle of the night, and Ezra couldn't sleep. After what happened how could he. Between the crew getting captured and Maul and himself seeing those 'two suns' Ezra had a lot on his mind. His stomach was a knot of nerves, and his mind would not relax. The truth was, Ezra was worried about the others.

As he looked down he saw Zeb snoring away a storm. While the noise was nails on a chalkboard, it brought Ezra relief that the big guy was okay.

Slowly as to not wake up Zeb, he made his way out of the room to check on the girls. Ezra only opened the door to Sabine's room a smidge to peek inside. Like the Lasat, Sabine was curled up on her top bunk as well, sleeping easily.

As Ezra closed the door to check on Hera, he heard someone behind him.

"Hera is fine, there all alright Ezra."

Ezra turned around found his master behind him, his face unmasked, but his untied hair covering his eyes.

Kanan assured Ezra, "After the stressful day they had, sleep is what they need to relax."

Kanan though could sense his students stress, so he thought of an idea,

"Come on, let's have some tea, I think you need to relax too." SO the two males made their way to the kitchen

SWR

"You sure you don't want me to make the tea?" Ezra asked nervously as Kanan was boiling the water.

Kanan chuckled, "Like I told you kid, I can use the force to know where things are. Also last time you made tea I nearly gagged." Kanan admitted.

While Ezra giggled a bit, it only eased his troubled mind for a second.

"Kid, talk to me. What's eating you?" Kanan asked as he handed a mug of tea to Ezra before he sat on the other side of the table.

"I don't know?" Ezra tried to explain, but his master wasn't buying it.

"Kid. I can sense your stress, and I know with what happened, you must have a lot on your mind. Come on kid, you can tell me."

Ezra took a deep breath before he explained "With what I saw, I kind of get what the Bendu was talking about 'not forgetting'. But a part of me wants to know what those images were. Then again, I'm glad Maul and I didn't see the whole picture."

Kanan smiled at his padawan words a little pride beamed in his chest. "It's a hard lesson for Jedi to understand that even if we have the power, to use it isn't always so easy. But I can sense your stressed about something else." Kanan pointed out.

Ezra took a sip of his tea before he finally asked, "We almost lost them, didn't we?"

Kanan was silent for a bit before he revealed to Ezra, "Mauls droids were ready to open fire on them before I beheaded them."

This caused a shiver to crawl up Ezra's spine, "I should have made Maul confirm they were say with a holovid or something."

"Kid, Maul counted on you joining him after today. That's why he tried to waste us."

Kanan sensed Ezra's shock when he mentioned 'us'.

"Don't worry, I've dealt with the vacuum of space once, and I got away again," Kanan explained smugly before he turned serious.

"The important thing is that we all made it out. And we are all safe. Hera told me she was going to install some security equipment to the ship to avoid cyborg's from infiltrating the ship again. She also mentioned finding the purest water she could find to clean the 'siths filth' off her ship."

Both master and apprentice laughed at that.

Ezra again though turned serious, "Kanan with what happened, with what could have happened… I lost one family before, I don't think I can handle loosing another." Ezra admitted.

Kanan then revealed to Ezra, "I know what you mean."

The older man thought about what he would say before he explained. "When I lost my master, all my friends at the Temple; it made me realize I was on my own for the first time in my whole life. But when I am with the crew, I know I'm not alone anymore. But Ezra, you have to realize that even of things turned out differently, they would want us to keep going, to keep fighting."

Ezra wasn't sure how to respond.

Kanan then asked Ezra, "ok kid, if you were close to death, what would you want the crew to do?"

Ezra thought hard for a moment before he answered, "I would want them to keep fighting the Empire. To try to prevent what happened to me to happen to anyone else."

"That is exactly what the crew would want from you, and what I want." Kanan then revealed, "When the Grand Inquisitor had me prisoner, my only consolation was that he couldn't find you guys, and that you guys were still going to stand up against the Empire."

Kanan could sense Ezra's mind ease up a bit.

Kanan gave Ezra some finale advice for the night, "It is important not to dwell on the past. What is important is that the others are safe, and we're going to make sure that it won't happen again."

Kanan could tell even without his eyes, that Ezra was smiling.

Ezra took a deep breath before Ezra replied with content, "Thank Kanan."
