God morning!! Welcome to 12 days of rexsoka day 5! Today we have some more angsty Rex, I promise tomorrow will be much lighter then the last couple days but I honestly think I only know how to write angst at this point lol. So without further ado I give you….

Day 5 Injury

Rex absolutely hated the medbay, it’s overly clinical smell, the monotone white walls and floor it all reminded him too much of the labs on Kamino. He had spent a lot of time in the labs as a cadet. Due to his physical mutation the long necks made him sit through weekly physicals and blood test from the age of 1-5, wanting to be sure that his blond hair was not a sign of defective genetic material. Once his body had gone through most of his accelerated puberty he was able to do just monthly checks, and now unless he was in critical condition he refused to be in the the medbay for any reason other then is bi monthly check. It was honestly a miracle he had been allowed to live, and if it had been any other kaminoan then Nala Se he probably would have been decommissioned the second he was decanted, but he was a command clone and was too expensive to throw out, so he had been allowed to live. Now that Rex was no longer required to he stayed clear of the overly sterile environment of the medbay, most of the time.

They had been on what was supposed to be a simple in and out mission, go in blow up a base get out, but the intel had been bad. There had been more guards then expected and it had resulted in a fire fight, he had been so engrossed in battle back to back with the Commander he had somehow not noticed when a thermal detonator had rolled between his feet until it was too late, and before he knew what was happening he was being thrown back with a push of the force. When he came too just moments later he saw Ahsoka laying where he had been standing her body unmoving. He had run to her side as quickly as possible his had immediately searching her neck praying for a pulse, he had almost burst into tears when he found it, weak but steady, he didn’t even hear himself call for the medic but all of a sudden Kix was there and Jesse was pulling him back so the medic could stabilize her for evac.

Now he found himself sitting on the floor in the one place on the ship he hated leaning against the bacta tank where Ahsoka was floating. Jesse had said she used the force to contain the blast and redirected the energy at the clankers pretty much putting an end to the battle. Her physical injuries were not to bad a bruised rib or two,a small fracture in her ankle and several bruises along her left side where she had landed after the blast. The problem was that she had exerted more force energy then she was capable of maintaining resulting in what General kenobi called force burn. Ahsoka had pushed so much energy into redirecting the blast that she did not leave enough for her body to function causing her to be unable to heal and her organs to begin to shut down. As soon as they got her back on the ship Kix had put her on life support and directly into a bacta tank hoping it would keep her stable until she regained enough energy for her body to heal on its own. The first couple of days it was both Rex and General Skywalker sitting and waiting to know if she would be able to come back from such exertion, it had been two of the worst days of his life not knowing if he would loose her or not. But then on day Kix had told them she was going to be fine, her body had begun to function on it own again and they were just keeping her in the tank until her ribs healed to make it easier on her body. Once they knew she would be ok the General had resumed his normal schedule and stopped spending his nights in the medbay simply stopping by each morning for updates, Rex however could not bring himself to stay away, so each night instead of returning to his bunk after finishing his work for the day he would go to the medbay and sit on the floor leaning against her tank listening to her heart beat on the monitor.

Kix had definitely noticed his Captains new routine of spending the night leaning against his commanders bacta tank. Rex had been careful sneaking in after the rest of the ship was asleep and leaving before anyone was awake, but Kix alway knew what was going on in his medbay. Kix made sure to place a pillow under Rexs head to make sure he didn’t wake up with to much pain in his neck. Kix wondered to himself if Rex knew that Ahsoka did the same thing any time he was in bacta.

As always I hope you have enjoyed this fic and remember feedback is always welcome!
