Chapter 2
Hey thanks again for reading my story and I'm sorry to all you guys who wanted to read chapter 2 yesterday but I want to set a standard of a chapter a day. So with out further ado…
To a certain person who left a review for me earlier, but deleted it.
Guest: 'Shouldn't Ezra have his lightsaber?' That's a good question and my answer is Ezra isn't exactly finished his training with a lightsaber so he doesn't use it unless he needs to.
Unfortunately I do not own Star Wars Rebels.
The storm troopers kept their guns trained on Ezra, "Make a move and we will not hesitate to kill you." The storm trooper announced as a few of the soldiers started to move towards him.
Without thinking he used the forced to push the advancing troopers into their comrades and made a mad dash for the vent jumping up and grabbing hold of the vents edge and guiding himself in.
Crawling faster than he ever had before he advanced to the exit gladly accepting the vision of light signaling the end of the shaft. He reached it faster than he had thought possible.
Now back on the roof Ezra then started running towards the ship, which was now in the main loading dock, his friends were fending off the storm troopers while waiting for him to return. He was closing in on the ship he reached the edge of the roof he leapt and landed roughly on the ship.
Ezra jumped down from the ship and started shouting, "Guys we are good to go, get back to the ship!" With that they made a mad dash for the ship. Hera had already started taking off the ship lifting into the air. Zeb, Kanan and Ezra had made it on board but Sabine was still barely more than halfway there and still running towards the ship.
She was finally close enough, she jumped in slow motion through Ezra's eyes and he could see she was going to fall short. In no time at all Ezra dived to the edge of the ramp and snatched her hand out of the air when she reached the pinnacle of her leap.
Pulling her onto the ship and immediately getting up and closing the ramp, as if on queue the bombs went off underneath the factory giving the ship a push in the air from the shockwave. When he turned around he found Sabine smiling at him, "Hey kid thanks for the save." The young Padawan blushed a little, "Yeah well… don't read too much into it." He mocked her
That comment earned him a solid punch in the arm they both shared a laugh and went their separate ways as the ship made the jump to hyperspace. When he rounded the corner he rolled up his sleeve and sure enough Sabine's punch had reopened it.
Ezra would have told her but didn't want her to feel bad so he kept it to himself and figured he could get Hera to fix it up for him. After a quick trip to the med-bay he preceded to the cockpit with the suturing kit, he opened the doors to the cockpit and sure enough Hera was there as she always was.
He sat down beside her in the co-pilot seat and asked, "Hey Hera do you think you could help me?" Showing her his arm, she gave him questioning glance, "Of course Ezra, but why not Sabine? I'm sure she would have stitched you up." She asked him while taking the kit from him.
Ezra shrugged nervously, "Well… I didn't want her to feel bad… you know?" she raised an eyebrow at him, "Why would she feel bad? She would be doing you a favor." He cringed a little when she started threading the stitches into his arm, "Well… s-she might have been the one who caused it to r-reopen… we were just kidding around and by mistake she tore the stitches she had already threaded." He said with a little difficulty.
Hera gave him a 'knowing' smile and stayed quiet until she was done, "There, all done." Ezra tested his stitches by moving his arm, "Thanks Hera… and… please don't tell Sabine, I don't want her to feel bad." He pleaded blushing a little and a little more when Hera laughed a little, "Don't worry kid your secret's safe with me." Ezra accepted it but knew she wasn't just talking about his arm.
When he emerged from the cockpit much to his surprise he found Sabine, thinking quickly he put the suturing kit behind his back and just flashed her a smile as he passed her. She noticed he was hiding something from her, "Alright kid what is it?" she asked him, "Erhh… nothing Sabine." He said as he rushed off towards the safety of his room.
Well that was weird. Sabine thought to herself. But she shrugged it off and proceeded into the cockpit to talk to Hera, "Hey Hera what was that about?" Sabine assumed, "Well… he needed me to re-stitch his arm up." Sabine had a confused look on her face, "Why wouldn't he have asked me if he had hurt it on the missi…" She trailed off.
After a few seconds of considering why he asked Hera and not her she arrived at one conclusion, "He didn't injure it on the mission did he? It was when I hit him wasn't it?" Hera sighed, "Yeah it was… he was just trying to make sure you wouldn't feel bad." Truth be told upon hearing this Sabine didn't feel bad just a little surprised.
After a few moments Sabine spoke up "Oh… uh Kanan says he wanted to talk to you, didn't say why." Hera laughed, "Trust Kanan to be mysterious all the time, thanks Sabine."
With that note both women left the cockpit, Sabine arrived at her door and was about to enter when she looked over at Ezra's room and reconsidered. After dropping off the kit back to the med-bay Ezra was finally back in his room and more importantly back in his bed.
Not to soon after plopping into bed there was a knock on the door, I swear I'm going to go mental soon Ezra thought to himself, "Yeah?" he called out, "It's me Sabine can I come in?"
Ezra was surprised for it to be Sabine but delighted all the same, "Ahh… sure." He replied. Sabine came into the room and sat down on the floor next to his bed, "Hey umm… so…. Hera told me about you arm, I came to say thanks for you know…" she said softly.
Ezra sat up, "Uhh… no problem Sabine, I'm sure you'd do the same for me. Although I doubt very much I'd land a punch on you." They both laughed, "Hey can I ask you something?" Sabine said to him in which he replied with a nod.
"What were you parents like? Before they were taken." She could tell that this question caused him a little turmoil but never the less he answered. Over the course of the next few hours they traded stories of their childhoods, each learning something new about the other.
Eventually they decided it was time to turn in and Sabine got up and headed for the door, "Night Sabine." He said before she reached the door, "Night Ezra." With that she left the room and headed for her own, Ezra was happy that he and Sabine finally had a talk about each other's past. It made him feel nice to connect with Sabine and with that final thought in mind Ezra fell asleep.
Well ladies and gentlemen how did you enjoy that chapter? Let me know in a review and as always, thanks for reading. Anonymous Prick 3 here! I just want you guys to know that I only ended up correcting around 7 things here, and ch. 3 is quickly on its way.
