Two weeks later…

Ezra's POV


Kanan squeezed my hand. "How you going kid?" he asked, looking down at me.

"Fine," I protested, walking by his side down the streets. Ever since my little… 'Adventure' on Tatooine, he had become slightly over protective. Which I didn't actually mind. It was nice to have him there. After everything we'd been through, I felt surprisingly safe by his side. Hera was walking beside us and said "Not far now."

"Do we actually know who this person is?" Kanan inquired.

"My contact said he wants to meet us and join our crew."

"This, 'contact', of yours is trustworthy, right?"

"Of course!" Hera exclaimed. "Don't you trust me?"

"I trust you it's just…" he looked at me and sighed. "I just don't want something happening again. Things don't usually go smoothly for us."

"Well this time is different," Hera reassured him. "There, that's where we're meeting him," she said, pointing to an old bar.

Kanan took a deep breathe. "Okay kid, stick with me at all times," he warned me.

I nodded obediently as we walked into the bar. It was kind of dark and there were a lot of people. Some were 'sleeping', others were drinking their heads off. I stuck to Kanan's side. My luck hadn't been so spectacular lately. First the thugs, then the empire, then getting lost… best to stick with the two people I could actually trust. We sat at a booth in the corner, me in the middle for 'safety' issues as Kanan called it. After a moment of waiting, a large cloaked figure sat across from us. "Hera, right?" he asked in a low voice.

"Yep. That's Kanan and this is Ezra. You are?" Hera asked.

This figure was much too big to be human. His hands were like big claws and he had purple fur. The figure pulled back his hood, revealing a creature with big ears and a purple face. "The names Garazeb Orrelios, but you can call me Zeb."


Zeb's POV


"A Lasat," the male 'Kanan' gawked.

"Well, it's nice to meet you Zeb," the green Twi'lek 'Hera' said.

I studied them all careful. Kanan, the adult male, was wearing a green jumpsuit with grey pants. He had an arm guard along his right arm and shoulder and brown hair pulled into a small pony tail. Hera was wearing a basic pilot's suit and a head band to fit her lekku. I could tell already that Hera was a very sweet, polite person while Kanan was very stoic and serious. These are the guys creating trouble for the empire? I felt a small tug on my cloak and looked down to see a small blue haired boy staring at my bo-rifle. With quick hands, he pulled the weapon off my back as it fell on him. "Ezra?!" Kanan gasped, looking at the seat in the middle and then back at the boy.

"Careful with that kid," I said, pulling the heavy weapon off of him.

Kanan quickly picked the small child up and sat him on his lap. "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to bring him along," Kanan muttered.

"We don't want a repeat of Tatooine, now do we?" Hera smirked.

Kanan rolled his eyes and wrapped one arm around the boy's waist to keep him still, despite the child's protests. "So what did you call us here for?" he asked, leaning in.

"I want to join your crew. It's difficult to get a hold of rebel cells because they're so secretive. You're the only one I could get in contact with," I explained, attaching the bo-rifle to my back again.

Kanan and Hera exchanged glances. "How do we know we can trust you?" Kanan asked.

"Trust me. I want nothing to do with the Empire. They destroyed my village and killed my people." Anger was slowly seeping into my voice as memories of the Empire flooded my mind. "I just… want to help others… so they don't suffer the same fate."

Kanan sighed. "We know what you mean."

"I think we should give him a chance," Hera said.

Kanan stroked his finely trimmed goatee. "Fine, but you'll have to earn out trust."

I smiled. "Thank you. You won't regret this."

Kanan placed the boy on the seat before standing up and turning to leave. "Let's hope not," he mumbled under his breathe.

Hera sighed. "Don't mind him. He's just had a lot on his mind lately."

I nodded and followed the Twi'lek out of the bar. She led us out of town until we made it to a small clearing. There, sat an amazing ship. "Wow," I gawked, walking closer to the fine spacecraft.

"This is the Ghost," Hera explained, walking up the ramp. "I'll give you a proper tour later. For now, just get settled in."

I nodded and climbed up the ladder, exploring the new space. It was a great ship. Lots of room. Very efficient. I went into one of the spare cabins and placed my gear on the bottom bunk. Better get comfortable. After a short nap, I went into the common room to find the boy Ezra and a small orange droid talking to each other. "One day, you're gonna have all these gadgets! I'm thinkin' flame throwers and stun guns!" Ezra schemed gleefully. The child was probably only about 7 years old. Hera walked in, Kanan not far behind. "Okay, so we have to go out and get supplies. Zeb, do you mind helping out?"

"Not at all," I said.

"It's not a big order. Just go to town and get what you can. Here are the credits," she said, handing me a list and a handful of credits.

"I wanna go!" Ezra said, jumping into the conversation.

"I don't know. Trouble seems to be magnetised to you," Kanan chuckled.

"Please?!" the boy begged.

"No. Another time maybe," Kanan said firmly.

The blue gaze was shifted to me as the boy looked up expectantly. "Please? You're big and strong. You can protect me!"

I looked up at the others. Kanan seemed unsure while Hera seemed hopeful. "I think that's a great idea," she said.

"What?!" Kanan exclaimed.

"It will give Zeb and Ezra some time to get to know each other," she said.

"No, no, no," Kanan denied. "Ezra's one of the most wanted people on Lothal! It's safer if he stays here. I don't want him getting kidnapped again!"

"You can't keep him cooped up here for the rest of his life!" Hera argued. "You need to relax a little."

Kanan groaned, then glanced at me, studying how trustworthy I was.

"I promise I won't let anything happen to him," I reassured them.

"We trust you Zeb. Contact us on this if anything goes wrong," Hera said, handing me a comlink.

I nodded and walked past them. Kanan gripped my arm and whispered "Watch him like a hawk."

I turned and looked at the blue haired, tan faced boy, eyes gleaming with joy. He looked so innocent and sweet. What could possibly go wrong?
