(I Promise) This Time Will be Different
Obi-Wan had been joking when he’d theorized that their resupply ship might be carrying his new Padawan. To find that it’s transporting not supplies, but two younglings sent by Master Yoda, is a sharp reminder of how much the green troll likes to meddle. There’s no way that he’ll reject his newly-assigned Padawan, though, even if a battlefield is the last place that a ten-year-old with psychometry should be.
Cody wasn’t expecting to suddenly be partially responsible for looking after a Padawan-Commander, but he doesn’t exactly mind, per se. In fact, most of the 212th is excited, and soon, Cody’s just as determined to bond with the little Commander—but for some unknown reason, the Padawan keeps flinching away.
Cal doesn’t know how he ended up back in the Clone Wars. Last he’d checked, time travel isn’t possible, but then, what would he know? He’d only been a Padawan for eight months before Order 66 had gone out. Now, he’s just trying to survive being the General Kenobi’s Padawan, get a handle on his psychometry again, and convince his instincts that the 212th isn’t about to shoot him. Oh, and he should probably do something to change the future, right?
