Time passed in a blur. Hours? Minutes? No one really knew. Their minds were else were. Panic and adrenalin shunned out any noises that didn't need to be heard. It was only when Bariss was once again locked up with no chance of escape and Ahsoka was admitted into the healing wing that all the panic and adrenalin started to subside and the three Jedi could take in more of their surroundings. But to tell the truth they were not happy with what they found at all. The room was to white. The smell was to clean and it was far too quite minus the peeping of the machines that were keeping the injured patawan stable and alive. But who could really complain, at least she was alive. That luxury made it all worth it to them.

Anakin sat in one of the chairs next to Ahsokas bed. He was holding her hand firmly not wanting to let go. Obi-wan sat on the other side looking at one of many Holo pads he had brought. Luminara was out getting medical supplies for Ahsoka and coffee for all of them because Force knows they needed it.

Anakin looked up at Obi-wan irritably, "What are you doing at a time like this?" He was a bit pissed off. Here is patawan lay hurt beyond imagined and his master is surfing the holo net.

Obi-wan only sighed. He didn't blame Anakin for his behavior. He was actually kind of impressed about how well he was handling this hull mess but he too was in a bad mood. He looks up from his work with a small glare, "If you really must know 'Anakin' I'm trying to figure out how the hell Bariss could have possibly escaped, at least I'm helping." His words were harsh and as soon as he said them he knew that he shouldn't have but he was just so damn tired that he couldn't care less.

Anakin on the other hand became furious. He got up letting go of Ahsokas hand not knowing that it was going to cause the girl distress. "Me?! Not Helping?! Where were you when everything started to fall apart in the first place!?" Obi-wan got up as well leaving the holo pad were it fell. Both men stood at the foot of Ahsokas bed. The rest of the universe seemed to wash away just leaving the two brothers. Obi-wan was a little shorter then Anakin, to his dismay. Anakin was glaring down at him shaking a little in anger. He got closer and jabbed Obi-wan in the chest with his finger while yelling, "She was scared and all alone but what did you and your precious council do? Nothing! Not even nothing, you abandoned her in her most venerable moment. She would have died Obi-wan. DIED! If I didn't find Ventress of all people to help!"

Obi-wan slapped Anakins hand away angrily. He too was furious and tired and just all around at the end of his ropes. "What do you think I could have done? Huh? I stood up for Ahsoka during the council meetings. So don't you dare (He pushes Anakin with on hand) think that I don't care. I'm just one person out of 12 Anakin I don't have all the power to control every problem that you come to me with."

Anakin was about to yell out his comeback when he felt a hand make contacted with his cheek. It wasn't Obi-wan because he too suffered from the same experience as well. Both men looked to the side to see Master Luminara glaring at them both. "Unless the two of you would like to have front row seats to Ahsokas heart exploding from stress I would shut up."

The slap had brought both men back into reality. And with it, the loud noises that were previously being ignored. Anakin whipped around to see Ahsokas face crunched up with tears streaming down her face and her heart monitor to be peeping furiously while flashing red. He ran to her side and once again grabbed her hand.

Obi-wan also went to her side but looked back at Luminara, "What do we do?"

As Luminara came closer she shook her head. "We need to calm her down ourselves if we give her any more injections we put her at risk of an over dose." Obi-wan knotted looking back at Ahsoka and Anakin.

Anakin was still holding her hand. He came closer to her head tail and started to whisper soothing words as his free hand petted it gently.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry snips. Everything is alright. You're alright. We're sorry we scared you, that was mean of us I promise at won't happen again. Please calm down it's over, just relaxed." This went on for a few more minutes as the Ahsokas Bp slowly returned to normal. "Ata girl snips" He cooed while kissing her forehead. Once it was completely normal Anakin flopped back on his chair with an exhausted sigh, but he still held Ahsokas hand in fear that she would freak out again. The room was quite. Luminara left to go speak with the medical droids leaving Obi-wan and Anakin alone again against her better judgment. Now that the two were calm again a wave of guilt washed over them both. They were brothers, they both knew this deep in their hearts, but now, not only were they brothers; they were both big brothers. Big brothers to Ahsoka. They were supposed to protect her no matter the cost, not cause her pain as they had. There guilt was not so much to the other across from one another but to who was laying asleep in the middle.

"I'm sorry Anakin I let my tiredness take over my emotions I didn't mean what I said." Obi-wan apologized honestly as he looked over at his brother.

Anakin Just shook his head. "I know Obi-wan and I hope you know that I'm sorry as well I know you couldn't have done anything." There was another pause as Anakin looked over at Ahsokas sleeping face. "I should have been a better Master and noticed Ahsokas distress to begin with." he whispered sadly.

Obi-wan shifted in his chair and let out a sigh. "No, my brother, you are the best Master a patawan like Ahsoka could have and I am very proud, don't ever think otherwise." Anakin looked up into Obi-wans eyes.

"You really think so?"

Obi-wan chuckled lightly, "I know so."

So sorry about the wait. I had problems with my lap top but tiss fixed now. So I hope you like. If you have any subjections please leave a comment.
