Chapter 71 – Ezra Bridger
Everyone stayed in silence until Han decided to be the first to speak:
"Why I'm not surprise."
Ines looked at him and decided to stood up and head towards Ezra.
"Before we get the bad news, how about we make the introductions cause Ezra didn't met some people here. Even if I'm sure Ahsoka informed you of everything that happened for the past 11 years in more detail, right?"
"Actually we did talk and I found out some interesting things."
"Good, I'm sure she also talk about other people in the family," Ines said and looked at her husband, "You already know my husband Luke."
"Yes, and now it is a little weird too see your real face after seeing your fake one. But it is nice to see how the legend Luke Skywalker really looks like."
"Thank you."
"And you already knows my brother in law Han and my sister in law Leia, who actually you two known each other years ago."
"That's right. I didn't think about it, but with time I remembered a Leia that saved me and my former master Kanan back in Lothal."
"It was years before the Battle of Yavin, and my father Bail was the one who sent me." Leia smiled at him remembering those times. "And I'm sorry about what happened to him."
Ezra sighed and nod, making Ines glare at Leia and then back to Ezra.
"Okay. Now that is our dear family Wookiee member," she started it.
"Let me say it, Chewbacca," Ezra said making Chewie growled.
"It is Uncle Chewie," Ani said approaching him.
"Oh, okay then. Uncle Chewie!" Ezra smiled and ruffling the little boys blond hair.
"Hi Ezra." the four years old kid said smiling.
"I know you. And let me guess, this is your twin brother Bail that you were talking about back in Geonosis."
"I'm older than him by this," and Bail showed him his 5 fingers.
"5 Minutes. So you were in a hurry to come out first." Ezra smiled and looked at the twins girls. "And I know one of you is Padmé and the other is Alli, but I don't know which one."
The little girls looked at each other and laughed.
"I'm Padmé and she is Alli."
"Hi," Alli said waiving at him.
"You two are really identical. You were not kidding at all Padmé."
"I told you so," she said waving the finger at him.
Ezra now and looked at Ben who was approaching with his hand in the air.
"Hi, I'm Ben and next season I will be a Padawan to become a Jedi," he said shaking Ezra's hand.
"Really. Then I'm pretty sure you would be a great one, after all it is in your genes," he replied looking at Luke and Ines.
"And I'm Iris. I'm the older sister of those two nightmare twin boys here," she said laughing.
"Nice to meet you Iris.
"I'm sure aunt Ahsoka told you that I'm adopted."
"Yes but does it make any difference?" Ezra asked.
"No, it doesn't."
"Than you are real Solo too." Ezra said smiling making Iris looked at her parents.
"I like him," she said.
Then Ezra felt someone touched his boots and looked down, seeing two blue eyes staring at him.
"And let me guess, you are Luke Skywalker, Jr."
The baby smiled and babble at him.
"Nice to meet you too."
"There are more members in the family but my mother and my father in law went to a dinner with old friends and my sister and brother in law are at home, since my 3 years old niece is with a flu and well everyone caught it, including our nephew Ken. But they say hi," Luke informed him.
"I hope they feel well soon."
"Okay now that everyone was introduce let's eat," Ines said.
"Finally," Han said standing up.
"I go first," Bail said running towards the dining room table.
"Oh no you don't," Han said following him.
"Don't worry, you will get use to it," Ines said tapping his shoulder and everyone followed them.
A few hours later:
While the kids were already playing in the living room in play sight do the adults could see them from the table, Luke looked at Ezra and Ahsoka.
"Well now that we ate and told stories about the past 11 years, can you tell us what did you mean about bad news when you arrived?" he asked making Ezra and Ahsoka glare at each other.
"How about you tell us everything from the beginning, like how did you end in prison next to our kids?" Han asked too.
"Well because they found out I was pretending I was on their side, when in reality I was trying to find more information. So he took me to Geonosis and put me in prison."
"He? Thrawn?" Leia asked.
"No, the old Jedi named Jorus."
"The clone of Jorus. Cause that is not the real one. His name is Joruus." Ines said.
Ezra looked at Ahsoka with a frown.
"I didn't want to tell you myself cause I think some things you need to hear from them." she said.
"You didn't know he was clone?" Han asked.
"I don't think he knows cause the way he talks it always felt like old, with things that doesn't exist anymore. So I always found that a little strange to me. Now I know why?"
"But Thrawn knows he is a clone." Luke said making his wife look at him.
"Which means he told Joruus about that. Meaning we can use that in our favor," Ines smiled, making Luke nod.
"But you are lucky they didn't kill you instead," Han replied.
"Because of the force. It is Joruus who wants all of you because of who you are. Thrawn is using him. Cause the first opportunity he will get rid of him for sure. I know this and I tried to tell him but he is blind by power."
"Not surprise in there," Han rolled his eyes.
"But I found something. Thrawn is a smart guy. He knew that as a father you would do anything to get her back. So he has a backup plan. That is why you didn't get anything yet, after 4 days. Cause he knows by now what happened in Geonosis."
"We were talking about that actually," Leia nod.
"And what is that backup plan?" Luke asked.
"He has a virus, a deadly virus. If he can't get by fighting, he would use brains and he knows you wouldn't risk the whole galaxy and lives of innocent people, but also you will never give up on your own kids."
"He is right on that."
"A virus? Great," Han sighed.
"But I know where that virus is. It is in his own ship."
"We need to get that virus before a tragedy happens," Ahsoka said looking at them.
"But how we will get inside Thrawn ship without being notice?" Ines asked her.
In that moment, the door opened and 3PO and R2 entered, with the protocol droid talking back at R2 as usual.
"I said we need to be back asap, but you never listen to me," 3PO replied making R2 beeping, which made 3PO stop. "You need to watch that attitude." he replied back and stop on its track when they saw everyone staring at them, while the kids giggle at the two droids.
Watching a new face, 3PO as usual started to introduce himself.
"Oh, Hello I am C-3PO, Human Cyborg Relations and this is my counterpart R2-D2." He said making R2 beeped.
"Hello. I'm Ezra."
"Oh you are the Jedi that Master Ahsoka talked all the time. It is nice to meet you."
"3PO is everything okay?" Leia asked.
"Oh Mistress Leia yeah. R2 was able to catch a message from out of the system."
"A message?" Leia frown.
"Yes, for Master Luke."
Everyone glare at each other.
"Message from whom, 3PO?" Luke asked.
R2 beeped and 3PO looked back at Luke.
"Grand Admiral Thrawn."
"Here it goes." Han said.
Ezra meets the rest of the family and what Thrawn sent to Luke?
