Rising Malevolence (Final Part)
Catra woke up when they reached Anakin’s fleet, stretching her limbs purring when she did. Ahsoka woke her up to check if she was alright, helping her up as they exited the ship together, both of them checking up on R2. Sinker and Boost were speaking with the medical droid nearby, both gave Catra a smile and nod.
“Those two are great, they both deserve a rest after today.” Catra smiled as she explained everything to Ahsoka.
“I would say you need a rest too, but you just had it.” Ahsoka laughed, having a teasing grin as she looked at the ribbon on Catra’s tail, “Hmm, I wonder how they would react if they learned what you did.”
Catra thought she was talking about someone behind her, turning to look, but her eye flashed by her ribbon quickly turning back in a panic and blushing, “Please, do not tell her.”
“Scaredy Cat. But I won’t, even though I know how she’d react,” Ahsoka calmed Catra down, “It was fun just to watch your reaction.”
“You can be surprisingly mean sometimes, Ahsoka.” Falling to her knees and resting against R2, which he didn’t mind one bit
Her eyes focused on the ramp of the ship as Anakin and Wolffe walked down
“Thank you for getting us out of there in one piece, General Skywalker.” Wolffe thanked Anakin as they walked down the ramp together.
“You have my Padawan to thank for that.” Anakin smiled and praised Ahsoka turning to her, Catra smiled as she stayed resting beside R2, Ahsoka stood up to face he Master, “She always said you guys would pull through.”
“General Plo and Comm- Catra said someone would come for us.” Catra was happy and grateful that she was just called by her name, it makes her feel more like a friend than a General or Commander, “We’re glad they were right.”
“Skywalker.” Plo koon was the last to leave the ship, walking down the ramp towards them, “It is time to give our report to the council.”
“Right, the Council report.” Catra had to hold off a laugh, she could tell Anakin was not thrilled about it as he and Plo started walking off. Catra was confused why Ahsoka looked worried and disappointed, until Anakin turned to face them, “Come on, Ahsoka, Catra.”
“You want me there? I figured, because of before…” Ahsoka looked away worried, Catra would ask what’s wrong but she didn’t want to pry, plus whatever happened, Anakin was fixing it now.
“Ahsoka, through it all you never gave up. You did a great job.” Anakin was smiling, even more when Ahsoka started smiling as well, “But if i’m getting in trouble for this, you’re gonna share some of the blame, too. So, come on. Let’s go.”
“Right beside you, Skyguy.” Ahsoka smiled following him. Catra on the other hand tried to sneak off to rest in her room, but Anakin turned and faced her before she could, “Oh and Catra, we’ll have you report on the Ion cannon to the council.”
“What… you know I can’t speak properly when the council is involved,” Catra’s ears and tail stood up, slowly dropping seeing Anakin’s smile as she sighed in annoyance, “And that’s why you suggested it.”
“Maybe. I can't get anything past you Mittens. That and you might need to show Obi-wan that you are fine.” Anakin gave the proper reason for why she should be there, “He never said it, but he was worried about you.”
“Okay that is a better reason... just don’t tell him about me being in the vacuum of space, I think it would make him worry more.” Catra gave a small nervous laugh walking beside Ahsoka, following Anakin and Plo.
