Many thanks to my Beta (Yes I have someone now who was willing to do the grammar mistakes) JediKnight Many thanks my friend.

Now, on with the story and don't forget to review!

Hadrian woke up slowly. His eyes adjusted to the whiteness of the room. He was lying in a comfortable bed when he looked around. It was just a room with a small table, no windows or wardrobes. Hadrian sat up, but he head pounded. He rubbed away the sleepiness from his eyes. He saw his clothes draped over a chair like something. He stood up and went over there. He got dressed very quick when the door slide open and someone entered.

"You are awake I see. That's good. How're you feeling?" the healer asked. Hadrian frowned.

"Headache." He replied. The healer smiled.

"that's normal after a stunt like that. Here drink this." The healer handed him a cup with a milky substance in it. Hadrian made a face.

"Not my idea of a party." He drank the contents of the cup. It tasted like mint, but he wasn't sure. The healer laughed at his exclamation. He took the cup from the boy.

"Where am I?" Hadrian asked.

"In the Medical Center of the Temple." Was his reply. "Come. Someone is waiting for you."

Hadrian followed the healer outside. He arrived at a desk and waited. He didn't know where to go or what day it was. He hoped that the other didn't leave without him. He sighed and tried to remember what about yesterday. He stared in shock at the floor when he realized what he has done. For the second time. Then he heard a click click of wood against tiles. He turned his head around and saw Master Yoda coming toward him. The little green alien stopped in front of him, holding his two arms on his walking stick and hummed.

Hadrian arched an eyebrow. "Euh…"

"Awake I see. Good. Good." Yoda said. "Follow me."

Hadrian stood up and followed the alien. It was going to be a long walk with this pace. He will soon fell asleep while stroll next to Yoda. They walked through spacious hallways and amazing rooms.

"Strong with the Force you are. Control fire you can, hmm." Yoda asked.

Hadrian nodded. Something was familiar about this feeling he has. "I guess."

"Need training in control you will. Fire very dangerous."

"I know… I don't know how I got it." Hadrian tried to explain. "I just posses it."

Yoda hummed again. "Difficult decision this is." He sighed.

Hadrian frowned. "What decision?"

Yoda didn't reply. Instead they kept on walking. Hadrian was thinking about this sensation he felt. Then like lighting he recognized it. He stared at the green alien, making the conclusion.

"I was you! You were the one who brought peace in me last night, right?"

Yoda stopped. "Yes… that I did." Hadrian blushed.

"Thanks… So what decision?" Hadrian asked again. Yoda sighed and looked at the boy.

"The council does no agree on it yet. But my padawan you will be." Yoda declared. Hadrian looked in shock. He couldn't believe his ears. He, a padawan. He will become a Jedi. Hadrian had the urge to hugged the alien, but decided against it. He didn't know what to do with his emotion right now.

"Keep quiet we must until much later." Yoda said. Hadrian smiled and nodded.

"I will."

Hadrian was standing in the Council chambers. The sun just came up and brighten a new day. Anakin, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were there as well, standing before the twelve members of the Jedi Council.

"Correct you are, Qui-Gon." Yoda replied.

"His cells contain a high concentration of midi-chlorians. Even Hadrian has as high count." Mace said looking at the foursome.

"The Force is strong in both." Ki-Adi said, nodding his head.

"He's to be trained, then." Qui-Gon asked the Council about Anakin. The Council Members looked to one another.

"No. He will not be trained." Mace said sternly. Anakin was crestfallen; tears began to form in his eyes. Hadrian took pity on him for a moment, but he knew that he will become a Jedi.

"No!" Qui-Gon asked stupidly. Obi-Wan smiled. The sick bastard.

"He is too old. There is already too much anger in him." Windu said.

"He is the chosen one… You must see it."

"Clouded, this boy's future is. Masked by his youth." Yoda replied, looking at the boy.

"I will train him, then. I take Anakin as my padawan learner." Qui-Gon declared. Obi-Wan reacted with surprise. Anakin at the other hand watched with interest.

"An apprentice, you have, Qui-Gon. Impossible, to take an a second." Yoda said, pointing at him with his finger.

"We forbid it."

"Obi-Wan is ready…"

"I am ready to face the trails." Obi-Wan answered with confident.

"Ready so early, are you? What know you of ready?" Yoda asked. Anakin watched as Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan exchanged angrily looks. Hadrian found this amusing. He gave the boy a grin.

"Headstrong…and he has much to learn about the Living Force, but he is capable. There is little more he will learn from me." Qui-Gon explained with pride.

"Our own council we will keep on who is ready. More to learn, he has…" Yoda replied strict.

"And what about Hadrian? Will he be trained?" Qui-Gon asked? Hadrian looked up.

"No, for the same reasons. But now is not the time for this." Mace answered. "The Senate is voting for a new Supreme Chancellor. Queen Amidala is returning home, which will put pressure on the Federation and could widen the confrontation."

Hadrian looked down. So, Padmé didn't do it then. She didn't hearken his warning about Palpatine. He could just scream.

"And draw out the Queen's attacker." Yoda added.

"Events are moving fast… too fast."

"Go with the Queen of Naboo and discover the identity of the dark warrior. That is the clue we need to unravel this mystery of the Sith." Mace retorted.

"Young Skywalker and Phoenix's fate will be decided later." Yoda announced. Hadrian smirked.

"I brought Anakin and Hadrian here; they must stay in my charge. They have nowhere else to go." Qui-Gon said, nodding at the two boys.

"They are your wardens, Qui-Gon… we will not dispute that."

"Train them not. Take them with you, but train them not!" Yoda said firm.

"Protect the Queen, but do not intercede if it comes to war until we have the Senate's approval." Mace warned them.

"May the Force be with you." Yoda said goodbye. The quartet bowed and left the room. Hadrian couldn't believe himself that he didn't tell anything about the Sith. He knew. He could stop this mess from getting worse if he just told them about the Sith. About Palpatine. He could curse right now; even Padmé didn't take his advice. Maybe he could change things later when he could keep an eye on the Chancellor and his evil deeds. But first he need to concentrate on the moment.

Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan took them to their quarter in the Temple. They said they have enough time before they will meet up with the Queen to return to Naboo. Hadrian was quite curious about their apartment. They took the hoverlift to get down and greeted some Jedi along the way. Suddenly someone's stomach growled. Hadrian blushed and looked away. There it was again and all looked at him. Hadrian gave them a cheap smile.

"I haven't eaten since yesterday." He replied. Anakin tried not to laugh. Hadrian send him a glare.

"What about breakfast?" Qui-Gon asked.

"Are you kidding? I woke up with a killer headache and the next thing I knew, I was released from the Medical Center to join you guys." Hadrian remarked. He didn't told them about his meeting with Yoda. He and the green alien kept it a secret until after the events. Besides they did not need to know.

"Well, the cafeteria is right this way. We could stop to grab something." Qui-Gon said, while they kept walking. Obi-Wan sighed. Hadrian narrowed his eyes. Does this guy ever take a break?

"There's no need…"

"Nonsense. Come." The Jedi Knight and his padawan moved along while Anakin followed. Hadrian rolled his eyes and trailed behind. Maybe he was right. He was quite hungry and he hasn't eat anything except for the last meal at the Skywalker's place. And that was already a long time ago (yesterday!). He was a growing boy, but he wasn't very keen about the food here. Does it taste like on Earth? Does anything looked like as on Earth? Damn, did he missed the nice tasty donuts from the McDonalds. Hadrian sighed. Maybe one day he would cook something for him that taste like home.

The dining hall was a spacious room filled with tables and chairs. There was some green mixed in between, like little trees and plants. One tree looked like a banana tree. Hadrian smiled. He loved nature. He hoped that the Room of Ten Thousand Fountains was something he would like. Nice and filled with the sounds of running water.

He was pulled out of his reverie when Qui-Gon gave him some Credits. The Jedi showed him where the cantina where the food was served. Hadrian nodded and headed toward it. There was a line, so he shuffled along behind a weird looking alien. He never got used to all these new kind of species. Being an Earthling, this like that was never heard of. He eyed the various food which didn't looked very appetizing at first sight. He didn't know what to take and looked confused. Then there was a hand on his shoulder and saw Obi-Wan smiling at him.

"Difficult to choose?" He asked.

Hadrian nodded. "Nothing looks like the food I know. It's pretty weird." He looked up. "So… any suggestion?"

Hadrian took his place at the table. Qui-Gon just took something to drink while he and Anakin were eating something. Obi-Wan had mysteriously disappeared. Probably looking for Siri Tachi, his youth friend. Hadrian smiled, then looked at his plate. On it was something that looked like oat malt pulp, blue milk and some kind of fruit. He took his spoon, took some out of his bowl and tasted it. He was surprised; it almost tasked like oat malt, only a slight difference. So he ate. The blue milk was good too and the fruit tasted like mango. After twenty minutes he was finished and it felt good.

Then Qui-Gon led them to their quarters. Their apartment was spacious filled with a couch, a dining room, kitchen and living room. Two doors let probably to their bedroom and there was another door that led to the bathroom. Hadrian took a seat while Anakin looked around as well. The sofa was quite comfortable. He hopped up and down while grinning. Qui-Gon gave him a weird look from the kitchen.

"Like it?"

Hadrian beamed and nodded. "Very comfy." Qui-Gon smiled. Anakin sat down next to Hadrian and looked around. He was still a bit unhappy about the verdict of the Council. Hadrian wanted to say something to make him feel better, but he couldn't. Not that he wanted it. But he didn't worried about it. Anakin will become a Jedi. Hadrian sighed, forgetting the moment for awhile. He didn't saw Qui-Gon giving him questioning looks. The older man was still processing about what happened in the Force suppressing Room. He saw the boy lean back in the sofa. But he didn't say anything.

The rest of the day they rested and talked. Obi-Wan showed up again after two hours, grinning like an idiot. Hadrian shook his head. The padawan went to his master and they talked in hushed voices. Hadrian had a gnawing suspicious that they were talking about him. The two of them reappeared from the kitchen. Obi-Wan had a forn look on his face while Qui-Gon took his seat in one of the chairs. Anakin was oblivious to all of it. Then Qui-Gon began to talk.

"There was something I wanted to ask, Hadrian." He said slowly.

Hadrian arched an eyebrow. "Shoot."

Obi-Wan gave his master a warning look. The older man waved it away. It was about time to tell the boy the truth. "We saw your memories, my friend, during the Force suppressing Room."

Hadrian wanted to hide his emotion, but failed miserable. "What?" Came a whisper. His face was drained from all colors. What did they mean? Did they saw his… Hadrian shook his head. "You lie." He said slowly.

The Jedi Master shook his head. "No, it was the decision of the Council to know more about you. This was the only way." He explained. "I'm sorry."

Hadrian fumed. He clenched and unclenched his hands in anger. He couldn't believe this. This was again privacy policy. He couldn't believe they had the probe inside his head without his council. Hadrian looked up. His eyes were blazing with blue fire. Obi-Wan looked shocked, but alert. They know what this boy could do.

"This is great. This is just fucking great." He looked both Jedi in the eye. If looks could kill. "You had no right to do this. This, " He pointed to his temple, "is off-limits and I don't want anybody to pry into it." He took some deep breath and the gleam in his eyes disappeared instantly. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan let out their breath. They saw the boy stand up and walk toward the window. They decided to let him blow off some steam. Anakin, at the other hand, didn't understand it very well. Some time passed when Hadrian sat back on the divan and smiled at the little boy. Talking about a mood swings, besides Hadrian was good in that. This was what made him unique. When they have eaten their meal, they made themselves ready to go and meet with the Queen. Anakin was very quiet the entire day. He just watched them talk and didn't do anything.

Thanks for reading. Did you like it so far, let me know!
