A/N

I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this chapter but it's finally ready. Sorry it took so long I kind of lost inspiration to write for awhile but I'm back and determined to finish this!

Tadashi was quickly starting to regret not listening to Mr. Lee about getting some practice in the suit before going off to rescue Hiro. He had thought that since he built it he'd have a relatively easy time using it which was sadly not the case. He was struggling to fly in a straight line, though having to carry Fred was not helping much. He was so excited about being a super hero, Tadashi feared he'd forget what they were supposed to be doing. Maybe he should have brought someone else. But who? As much as Tadashi loved the others, could any of them be any better help?

Though Wasabi looked terrifying at times, he was too easily spooked to agree to do anything even remotely like this. And Honey Lemon was too sweet to want to have anything to do with something so violent. Gogo though…she was tough, didn't care easily and was not afraid to punch someone. There was still the problem that she didn't know about Mr. Lee and it would be difficult to explain the suit.

Tadashi loved Fred, but Tadashi feared he may be in over his head. But there wasn't any other option so he'd just have to make sure Fred didn't get hurt in this insane mission. Get in, find the boys, keep Fred safe, get the inhibitor on the Inquisitor while still keeping Fred safe and get everyone out. Simple right? Tadashi still hadn't quiet convinced himself of that.

This was dangerous, borderline suicidal, but he had to try. Hiro's life was at stake. Soon they reach the coordinates and Tadashi carefully lowered Fred to the ground before landing himself, stumbling forward when he did. Not a very graceful landing, but at least he didn't fall flat on his face.

The pair cautiously started moving around the building, tense and waiting for some sort of attack. The building was crumbling and looked as if it had been abandoned for years. Could someone really be imprisoning the boys here?

"Tadashi?" Fred whispered, making Tadashi jump slightly and whirl around hissing,

"Don't scare me like that!"

"Sorry but I think there's someone else here," Fred hissed.

"Well…yea that's why we came here," Tadashi groaned, regretting bringing Fred more and more by the second.

"No I mean someone else is looking for someone here," Fred corrected.

"Huh?" Tadashi asked. Fred pointed over at a police car parked across the street partially obstructed by a large tree with low hanging branches. A police car? Why was a police car here? Kanan said he'd update them on anything the police found…unless an officer was involved?

"Boys," A voice hissed making Tadashi jump again and look behind him.

"Kanan? What are you doing here?" Tadashi hissed.

"Mr. Lee told me you had a lead on finding the boys," Kanan explained. "And Mr. Lee felt it would be good to have me come over here as well."

"It's way too dangerous though!" Tadashi hissed.

"I'm a police officer," Kanan said. "I face danger every day."

"This is a super villain though who is super powerful!" Tadashi exclaimed.

"And you're just teenagers," Kanan countered.

"Do we really have time to argue?" Fred asked.

"No," Tadashi grumbled. "We need to get in there and get the boys!"

"Hold up," Kanan said. "We can't all just go and charge in there."

"Why not?" Tadashi snapped.

"If this man is powered he'd take us all out if we just charge. No we need a plan," Kanan informed him.

"Do you have one?" Tadashi demanded, hating that they were sitting there practically waiting to be caught or seen.

"I'll head in through the front," Kanan said. "You two sneak in from the roof or something and try and catch him by surprise."

"A sneak attack?" Tadashi asked, completely unconvinced that such a simple plan could work on someone as powerful as the Inquisitor.

"Seems better then charging in guns blazing," Kanan countered.

"He's got a point," Fred agreed.

"Fine, fine," Tadashi groaned. "Let's just get going!"

Something bad was going to happen, Ezra wasn't sure how he knew exactly, he just…knew. Master was tense and he hadn't seen Hiro in days. What was going on? Was Hiro okay? What was Master going to do?

"You're distracted," Master coldly informed him.

"I'm sorry master," Ezra mumbled, looking away.

"Don't apologize, work." Master snapped.

"Yes master…" Ezra mumbled. Before Ezra could begin the doors burst open and Kallus strode in, dragging….his father in?

"I found this worm sneaking around," Kallus informed him, throwing his dad onto the ground.

"Why would you bring him here?" Master roared, throwing Kallus against the wall. Kallus crumpled to the ground in an unmoving heap. Dad actually came for him? He cared about him?

"Ezra!" Kanan shouted, eyes lighting up.

"Dad!" Ezra shouted, tears of joy streaming down his face. Master was wrong! Dad loved him!

"Silence boy!" Master snapped, lifting dad off of the ground with his powers, choking him.

"No!" Ezra shouted, "don't hurt him!"

"You are mine!" Master growled.

"Not likely!" Another voice shouted, dropping down from the ceiling. The person's back was to Ezra so all he could see was the red and purple armor he wore. The man then charged at master, raising his fist to punch him. Before his fist could connect his entire body froze. Without dropping dad, Master flung the man against the wall with ease.

"Gravity crush!" Another voice shouted, and someone in a monster suit dropped down on Master as well. With an eye roll Master stopped the monster man midair and threw him against the man in the suit, while still choking dad. His dads thrashing was quickly becoming weaker and Ezra was terrified master would kill him. The man in the suit charged at master again, this time his fist connecting with masters face causing him to drop his dad to the ground, gasping for air.

"Dad!" Ezra shouted, running over to him. Still gasping for air, dad scooped Ezra into his arms and held him protectively against his chest as Master turned his attention to the man in the suit, who Ezra finally saw was Tadashi. Tadashi was here too?

Ezra hoped Tadashi's suit would maybe help him fight like a superhero, but even with the suit he wasn't a match for master. Tadashi raised his fist and launched the suit fist at master who stopped it with a lazy wave of his hand and sent it back at Tadashi. The robotic hand hit Tadashi in the chest and threw him back against the wall. The person in the monster suit charged at Master who lifted one of the crates and hit the person in the monster suit. With both of them taken care of, Master ripped Ezra out of dad's arms hissing,

"You are mine boy! If he knew the truth about you, he would never love you!"

"Your wrong," Dad gasped, stumbling to his feet. "He's my son and I will love him no matter what!"

"Lies, all lies!" Master hissed. "Humans are all the same, they fear us, so they kill us!"

"No! I know my dad and he'd never do that!" Ezra exclaimed.

"Your father's job is to kill people!"

"Bad people," Ezra corrected.

"All humans are bad," Master said, lifting his dad, Tadashi and the monster person in the air "I will kill these three and show you the truth!"

"I won't let you!" Ezra cried.

"I am your master boy! You will obey me!" Master snapped.

"No you're not!" Ezra shouted, throwing his arms out and sending Master crashing into the wall near Tadashi who sluggishly snapped something around his neck. Roaring, Master raised his arms and terrified, Ezra pressed himself close to his dad, but nothing happened.

"I can still kill you even without my powers!" Master snarled, pulling out his gun and shooting at dad. Dad dove out of the way and shot Master in the chest three times. Master stared at the blood that started pouring out of his wounds in shock, his gun slipping out of his hand. "H-how…?" he gasped before crumpling to the ground, dead.

A part of Kanan was glad the Inquisitor had forced his hand like this, the bastard was now dead and could never hurt his son again. That didn't change the fact though that his son had powers like his birth parents and the Inquisitor which put him in serious danger. How many other hunters like the Inquisitor where out their? Would they be able to track him down as well? Could he protect Ezra from those dangers?

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Tadashi and Fred start to frantically search the building for Hiro and glanced over at Ezra who was slowly backing away from him, looking terrified. A pang of guilt shot through Kanan, he shouldn't be worrying about that now, Ezra was safe now and that's what mattered.

Kanan slowly kneeled down in front of Ezra saying, "I'm sorry I scared you buddy. I just cou-"

"No! S-stay away!" Ezra stammered, backing away from him.

"Why?" Kanan asked, horrified. Had he scared his son?

"I don't want to hurt you," Ezra cried, tears streaming down his face.

"Why would you think you'd hurt me?" Kanan asked, slowly reaching out to Ezra.

"I-I'm a monster," Ezra whimpered.

"Ezra why would you think that?" Kanan asked, carefully moving forward.

"I'm like him…" Ezra whispered, glancing over at the Inquisitors body.

"You are nothing like him," Kanan firmly said, wrapping his arms around Ezra and hugging him tightly. "You would never hurt anyone, not like him."

"I hurt Hiro…" Ezra whimpered.

"What are you talking about?" Kanan asked.

"Hiro got hurt because I was bad," Ezra whispered.

"That's not your fault." Kanan assured. "The Inquisitor did that, not you."

"I-If I was good master wouldn't have hurt him," Ezra sobbed.

"Master…?" Kanan asked, momentarily confused before he realized, the Inquisitor was probably this master. Kanan tightened his grip around Ezra, feeling a surge of rage. How much torment had he put the boys through? Kanan forced himself to remain calm; he was dead and would never hurt anyone again. "You didn't hurt Hiro, he did. And you were not bad."

"How do you know?" Ezra whispered.

"Why did he punish Hiro?" Kanan asked.

"Because I couldn't use my powers," Ezra whispered.

"That's not bad," Kanan assured. "You're not bad. He did that to scare you and make you do what he wanted. That makes him bad, not you."

"But I'm like him!" Ezra cried.

"You have similar abilities," Kanan corrected. "That doesn't make you bad."

"Master-"

"He is not your master," Kanan interrupted. "He was called the Inquisitor."

"He said people would fear me and want to hurt me because my powers make me bad."

Kanan sighed heavily and said, "Yea, I imagine people would be afraid, which is why I'll do what I can to help you learn to control your abilities."

"I don't want to use them!" Ezra exclaimed. "They only hurt people!"

"Control doesn't mean using," Kanan assured. "It means being able to not use it by mistake and use it at will."

"Kanan!" Tadashi shouted, running back into the room, cradling Hiro in his arms. "He's really sick!"

"Help should be here soon," Kanan assured.

"Will Hiro be okay?" Ezra whispered. Kanan looked up at Tadashi and Fred uncertainly, but before he could answer he could hear sirens in the distance.

"Give Hiro to me," Kanan said.

"What?" Tadashi snapped, glaring daggers at Kanan and protectively hugging Hiro against him.

"If you're seen here wearing that a lot of questions will be asked, questions I know you don't want to answer." Kanan informed him, "And them figuring out supers where involved could put both of the boys in danger."

"I can't leave him now!" Tadashi snapped.

"You won't, I'll call you and tell you he is being taken to the hospital you can meet us there in regular clothes," Kanan assured, getting nervous as the sirens got closer and closer. "Please Tadashi, I promise I will stay with him while going to the hospital they just can't know that supers where involved." Tadashi had a pained expression on his face as he looked between Hiro and Ezra.

"Tadashi," Fred said, flipping down the head of the suit to reveal his face, "Who knows what they'll do to Ezra if they find out what really happened." Tadashi looked over at Fred then down at Hiro again who was still unconscious in Tadashi's arms. Tears started streaming down Tadashi's face as he kissed Hiro's forehead and reluctantly gave him to Kanan. Heat radiated from Hiro's body as he raggedly breathed in and out in Kanan's arms. This was bad.

"Please….keep him safe…" Kanan looked Tadashi in the eye and placed a hand on his shoulder saying

"I will I promise." Tadashi stiffly nodded his head and had the suit spread its wings, grabbed Fred and flew out of the sunroof. Kanan looked down at Ezra saying,

"Listen to me Ezra this is very important, the officers are going to ask why you were taken and you need to tell them all he would say is it was about your birth parents."

"I thought you said to never lie to an officer…" Ezra mumbled.

"I know, I know," Kanan said, running a hand through his hair. "I just need you to do this for me buddy. I-I don't know what they'll do to you if they find out you have powers."

Ezra uncertainly looked up at him, once again looking terrified. "They're….afraid of me?" He finally asked.

"I don't know," Kanan admitted. "I want to keep you safe because I love you so much, powers and all. So please, I need you to do this for me until I figure out what's going on." He didn't know what he'd do if they took Ezra away from him. He didn't care that he was lying to officers and could go to jail; any punishment was worth keeping his son safe.

Ezra slowly nodded his head and mumbled, "Okay dad." Kanan smiled at him and still firmly holding Hiro with one arm used the other to hug Ezra. "You're safe now, I promise."
