New friends:
No One's POV:
Sara slowly let her eyes flutter open, and she slowly let her surroundings sink in. She was in a bright white room, carefully laid out in a long bed with sides, she was wearing a light blue, almost white gown, and the front of the room, had glass for walls, and she could see three out of four Commando's at the opposite end of the hall, talking.
"Hey, 'bout time you finally came to your senses."
Sara turned her head and saw Fi sitting beside her. He had a smirk on his face and relief in his eyes. Sara then noticed she had cords hooked everywhere to her it seemed, each having it's own machine that it went to. She took that in, then returned her gaze to Fi, with a confused look on her face.
"Fi, what happened? Where are we?" she asked.
Fi leaned back in his chair and explained what had happened. Sara nodded, trying to take it all in just right, without panicking. She was slightly shaken up from what he told her, but not horribly.
"What about the boy?" she quickly asked.
"He's fine, we admitted him as well, just to be safe. He's in a few rooms over from you. And after what happened, we took the liberty of updating your armor, so that it's got some fun new toys for you to play with! That way this doesn't happen again." Fi said with a laugh.
Sara rolled her eyes and then slowly pushed her covers back and started to crawl out of bed. Fi saw this and jumped up and stood in front of her.
"And just where do you think you're going?" he asked.
"To see the boy. I want to make sure he's alright!" Sara said, trying to push past Fi, in an attempt to get up.
"Oh no you don't! You're going back to bed!" Fi said, grasping her by her shoulders and pushing her back down onto the bed.
"Fi, stop it!" Sara screamed, as Fi quickly strapped her down to the bed.
"No way, you still are in bad shape, you need to rest!" he said, as he tightened the restraints.
Sara scrunched up her face angrily, and tried to break out, but Fi simply rolled his eyes, and pulled a shot out and stabbed it in her arm and she slowly stopped her fighting, her eyes closed and her body fell limp on the bed.
"You're to stubborn for your own good sometimes." he said, as he dropped back down into his chair.
After a bit, the rest of the Commando's from Omega Squad came in. They looked over at Sara, who was still restrained to the bed, then back at Fi, who was twirling the shot around his fingers.
"So, she gave you trouble, didn't she?" Darman asked, leaning against the wall, staring at his brother.
"Yup. She tried to get out of bed, to go see that boy." Fi replied.
"So that's why she was screaming." Niner said thoughtfully.
Fi chuckled quietly and nodded. "I guess I'll have to let her up soon, won't I?" he asked.
"Yup, or she's going to go nuts!" Atin said.
Again, Fi chuckled. He knew when she woke up again, he would have to let her up, or she would never get her strength back up again. He and his brothers were quiet for a while, each with one thought on there mind; Just how would this all play out?
They all knew that they had succeeded in their mission and had gotten the info, but they weren't sure what would happen now that they had this boy with them. And when Vau found out about Sara, he was going to be mad, beyond belief.
Fi was worried about how Vau would react. He remembered when he had first met Atin, and seen the horrible gash on his face, that he later found out, had been caused by Vau.
Vau is a short tempered, fit-to-fight, make sure his team is the best, kind of trainer. That's what set him and Skirata apart so much.
'Kal'buir made sure we were well taken care of. He was our buir, our father. Vau is... different. So much more serious and hard on his boys.' Fi thought.
All the Commando's of Omega Squad knew, was that they were not going to let Vau bring any harm to Sara.
*Later that day*
Sara sat beside the boy they had rescued, she wasn't sure what his name was, but she was sure she'd figure it out, as soon as he woke up.
She had finally gotten Fi to let her out of bed. She was mad at him for knocking her out like that, but she knew she had it coming. Her only worry now was if Vau would skin her, when he found out what had happened.
She sighed quietly, and looked down at herself. She was still in her hospital gown and she didn't like it. She felt very vulnerable without her guns or weapons, even without her armor. She was weak and tired, she couldn't get away quick in a fight, and she didn't like it one bit.
She shook her head, and stared at the boy. There was something about him, something that made her want to help keep him safe, she just wasn't sure what it was.
After a bit, the boy stirred lightly and slowly opened his eyes. Sara smiled and stood up and walked over to him.
"What's going on?! Where am I?!" he asked quickly, slightly alarmed.
"Whoa, easy there, you're safe here, no one will hurt you!" Sara said, trying to calm him down.
He looked at her, and she quickly noted his features. He was tall, taller then she was. He had pitch black hair, freckles everywhere on his face, and his eyes where a blue greenish color, but she saw shades of gold as well.
He quickly leapt to his feet, not caring about pulling the cords that were attached to him in different places, off. All he knew was fight or flight, and he didn't like the thought of 'flight'.
"Get out of my way!" he snarled.
Sara narrowed her eyes at him. She wasn't about to let him leave, she knew he wasn't in very good shape, even if he didn't admit it. He was a bit wobbly on his feet, and she could see he was tired.
"Not a chance! You need to rest, so just calm down and lay back down. Why don't you just relax and tell me your name?" Sara tried to suggest.
The boy narrowed his eyes into thin slits. "No." he said, in a cold tone of voice.
Then he lifted one hand, and made a 'C' shape with it. Sara started to step forward, to try to calm him down, but instead, she quickly reached up for her neck, and tried to pry the invisible hands away, that were choking her.
Her eyes were wide with fear, at what was happening. She stared at the boy, with pleading eyes. He stared back at her, and something in his eyes changed. It almost looked like sudden remorse.
"Let her GO!" someone screamed, causing the boy to release his force grip on Sara, and she crumbled to the ground.
The boy looked up, a hint of fear showing in his eyes, when he saw a tall, rugged Commando standing there, staring him down, with anger in his eyes.
The boy felt for something at his hip, but looked down to see he was in a pair of white pants and a white shirt. He looked up at the Commando again, then ducked around him and took off running out the door.
He looked back to see the Commando kneeling down beside the girl, and then he saw three more of the soldiers come from around a corner and began chasing him down.
He quickly sprinted down the halls, with the three men following close behind. He was sure he could out run them, since they were in their heavy armor and all, but he soon found out how wrong that thought was.
Armor or not, these soldiers were quick and swift on their feet, and it didn't help that he had run into a dead end either.
He turned around and saw the Commando's had him cornered, but what surprised him was the fact none of them had drawn their weapons on him.
"Look, just calm down kid, we're not going to hurt you." one of them said, slowly stepping forward, palms up, showing he wasn't holding any type of weapon.
The boy stared at him, with a suspicious look. "What do you want with me?" he asked.
"Our friend, the one you just tried to kill, is the one who saved you from those aiwha-bait, Kamino's." another of the Commando's said.
The boy crossed his arms. "I could have saved myself." he said.
"Oh, how nice. Look kid, the only reason she's in the hospital too, is because she took time to save your shebs, got it kid? We could have gotten out of there, without her nearly dying from poison, had she not wanted to save your back side!" the last one said, this one with a faint scar on his face.
The boy stared them down, but inside he felt bad about how he had gone off on the girl. No one had ever wanted to do much for him before, his Master was the only one he could look to for help. But something about his mission was fishy, and he was beginning to wonder if his own Master hadn't set him up.
After a few minutes, he sighed and said quietly, "Fine. I'll listen and stay calm, as long as you aren't hiding anything."
The three Commando's smiled. "Don't worry, if you think we are, just ask and we'll see if we can explain it enough for you." one of them said.
The boy nodded, then allowed the Commando's to lead him back to his room. When they got in sight of it, they could see that there was a nurse in there now, helping the Commando who had stayed behind with Sara.
He could see the Commando holding her, while the nurse slipped an oxygen mask onto her face. She tried to keep her eyes open, but after a moment, her eyes closed and her body fell limp in the Commando's gentle grasp.
The Commando carefully stood up, and the nurse picked up the oxygen tank and they took her to her room. They passed by the others and the Commando with the girl, glared at the boy as they passed by.
The boy looked after them, until they disappeared into the girls room. He was... what was the word? Worried. Yes, that was the word, worried. He was worried about her.
'Why am I worried about her? I haven't worried about anyone in so long. I don't even know her!' he thought, very confused.
He wasn't sure, but something about her, was different then everyone else. Something about her personality, the way she treated him, even though she didn't know him either.
The boy was quickly snapped out of his thoughts, by a question from one of the Commando's.
"So, I guess the first question we should ask is, why'd you try to kill our friend?" the one, who seemed to be the leader of the group, asked.
"She startled me, I'm not used to people being kind to me. I was taught to kill first, ask questions later." he replied.
The Commando's nodded. That was something that they had learned as well. They introduced themselves, and asked him a few more questions. The boy would answer, but still seemed leery of them. The Commando's expected no different, then what they got.
"Okay, here's a simple one; what's your name?" Darman asked.
The boy stared at them for a few minutes, before he answered. "Joe. My name is Joe."
They nodded, glad to know they at least had enough of his trust, to give them a name. They would find out soon enough, if it was a real one or not, but he seemed to have told them the truth so far, so they trusted him on that.
"Okay, you all have asked me questions, I think it's time I asked one." Joe said.
The Commando's shared a look, and then returned their gaze to Joe. "And that would be?" Niner asked.
"I want to know about the girl, the one your friend is tending to at the moment." he replied.
"Who, Sara? Well, that's a question we might not could really answer." Atin said.
Joe stared at them, a bit annoyed. "And just why not?"
"Because we don't know her all to well either!" Darman said, with a slight laugh.
"She just joined our group recently." Niner explained.
Joe nodded in understanding. 'At least I know her name now.' he thought.
Then he slowly stood up, to the surprise of the Commando's. They also stood up, curious and cautious about why he was up.
"Relax, will you? I just want to go see Sara. I'd like to see if she's alright, and offer her an apology." he said.
The soldiers all looked at each other, then reluctantly nodded. Joe smiled, and they showed him to Sara's room. They saw Fi standing by her bed, she was still unconscious, and the nurse was making sure her mask was on right.
"Don't worry sir, she'll be just fine soon enough." the nurse said reassuringly.
Fi nodded, then she turned and walked out. Fi looked over and saw the boy, and immediately his vibro blade shot out from it's hidden place by his wrist, and the look on his face told his brothers, he was ready to gut the boy for doing this to Sara.
"Udesii, calm down brother, he didn't mean her any harm, just a misunderstanding is all." Niner said, patting his brother on the shoulder.
Fi reluctantly pulled his vibro blade back into his armor, but kept a hard stare on the boy.
"He better not have meant it." Fi said under his breath.
After a little explaining, the four Commando's walked out, much to Fi's displeasure, and left Joe alone with Sara. Although, Fi had warned him that he was watching him and if he tried to harm her again, he wouldn't have a chance to explain.
Joe wasn't worried, he could deal with them all without breaking a sweat. But he was going to give them a chance. If anything, he was going to do it for Sara. She had saved his life, even though she didn't know him, and he wanted to at least know why.
He slowly took a seat beside her, wondering what made him feel bad for hurting her. Something about her was so different from everyone he had met before.
And he was going to find out what it was...
