Little Panic! Rant

Not shocking at all, you're handsome (HOT)

Wrecker: This is my brother! Don't worry, he doesn't bite! :D

The brother in question:

as he fucking should

😔

Wherever Crosshair is, I just hope he's eating his soup in peace

reminds me of my husky. I can't tell if she loves music or hates it😂😭

Hey @mrs-grumpysniper did we both just watch the same thing? Are you ok? How are you doing? Me personally, I am sobbing as I type this and hope all this is spelled correctly.

Warnings: Angst/Tension/Fluff

As you might expect, the reunion is a bit tense, for a variety of reasons. You haven't seen the boys for a long time, and Maul is not too enthusiastic about your visitors.

Together with Maul, you watched as the Batch left the Marauder over the ramp and came your way. You couldn't quite believe it yet, although you saw the guys coming your way. You could tell by their posture that they were tense, but not only that. You put out your feelers in the Force and clearly felt that the boys were ready for a fight, that there was worry, determination and a small trace of fear mixed in their energies.

"Your friends are tense," Maul said as the boys drew their weapons.

You frowned and said, "Maybe they think you're a danger to them or me?"

Maul laughed softly, a sound that slithered down your spine, hot and cold.

"My dear, I think your friends know very well who I am, that's why they are so tense".

You looked at him in surprise, but your attention turned back to the boys when you heard Hunter say your name.

They were only a few feet away, still tense. Maul, on the other hand, stood there as if he wasn't worried at all, his hands clasped behind his back. You saw Tech's gaze fall on your lightsaber, which by now you had reattached to your belt. He adjusted his goggles with a thoughtfully furrowed brow.

Finally, you heard him say to Hunter, "The situation doesn't seem hostile to me, I don't think she's here against her will."

"She's not," Maul said quietly.

Echo said somberly, "Appearances can be deceiving."

Maul rolled his eyes and said to you, "I'll leave you alone for a moment, I'm sure you have things to discuss"

As he turned and walked away, the boys looked after him indecisively, only slowly, one by one, they put their weapons away.

"It's good to see you guys," you said softly.

Wrecker pushed the others aside, came up to you, lifted you off your feet and hugged you stormily.

"We missed you, ad'ika!" he rumbled with a laugh.

You couldn't help it, you had to laugh too and returned the hug.

Echo hugged you too, albeit after a brief, shy hesitation, Tech nodded at you with a warm smile and Crosshair gave you a small smirk. Hunter just stood there uncertainly, looking at you.

He said quietly, "We were quite shocked when Tech told us he saw you leave the planet with Maul, we thought you might be his prisoner."

"I'm not, I left with him willingly," you said quietly.

Echo asked indignantly, "Just like that? Without telling us"

With a soft sigh you said, "Hunter has said very clearly that I am no longer welcome with Clone Force 99, that I am not to follow you and to stay away from you"

The boys all looked critically at Hunter, who lowered his head under his brothers' stares.

"I was pissed, rightfully so mind you" he finally said, "I said in anger what I didn't really want to"

You shrugged and said, "I'm not angry about that".

He blinked then looked at his brothers and said, "Give us a moment"

Crosshair growled teasingly, "So we're not going to spank her for leaving?"

"Shut up" Echo growled, pulling him along with him.

When the boys were finally out of earshot, Hunter looked directly at you.

"So you're not mad?"

"No. I was hurt and disappointed. But I've had a lot of time to think, and I certainly understand why you reacted the way you did, you had every right to. I had done something very stupid, reckless."

Hunter sighed softly, scuffed his foot on the dusty, sandy ground and said, "I very much regretted what I said a short time later."

You nodded slowly, you knew he could sense your rapid heartbeat, so you didn't even try to hide it or worry about it. On the contrary, you opened yourself to the Force, reaching out to Hunter and exploring his feelings. What you found only quickened your heartbeat. Hunter felt deep longing reaching out to you, joy, concern, affection. His longing was like an open, bleeding wound, hurting him and expelling energy at the same time.

You withdrew your antennae again, feeling that you had breached his privacy, and a small part of you felt ashamed of it. Looking at him, you realized how much you really missed this handsome man. You missed all about him, his smokey voice, his warmth, his scent, his smile, those dark eyes... everything.

Hunter's eyes fell on the lightsaber on your belt, then his gaze moved back up to your face, seeming surprised.

"Is that on your belt, what I think it is?"

You said with a teasing little smile, "I'm not sure what you think, but if you think it's a lightsaber, you're right."

"Where did you get it? From Maul?" he wanted to know, a slightly critical undertone in his voice.

Patiently, you explained, "No, it's mine. I built it myself."

"But Maul taught you?"

You nodded.

"You know he's a Sith?" asked Hunter, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"I'm aware of that" you said sternly, "Is this another one of those times you judge me without knowing the whole story?"

Hunter lowered his arms again with a sigh and said, "I just know that Maul is dangerous, he's probably not who he says he is with you."

You shook your head, "He's never hidden who he is or what he does. I don't condone it, but I learned as much as I could from him, how I apply what I learned is up to me. That's the advantage of being an adult when you train and not being molded into something from childhood."

"Probably," Hunter said.

After a pause, he asked hesitantly, "You and Maul.... are you two... a couple?"

"No. Teacher and student, that's all," you said, and could see Hunter breathe a sigh of relief at your answer.

He nervously stepped from one leg to the other and asked, "Would you maybe want to travel with us again?"

Your heart skipped a beat; you wanted nothing more.

"Her training isn't complete yet," you heard Maul say, approaching from the background, "She's not going anywhere."

Hunter's hand slowly moved to the handle of his blaster.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" Maul said calmly, "If you really know who I am, then you will realize that"

You put yourself between Hunter and Maul.

"It's my decision if and when I go" you said stubbornly.

Maul looked at you calmly.

"You really want to leave, unfinished business, without opening the holocrons?"

He knew exactly how much you wanted this, but what he didn't count on was your longing to be back with Hunter, with the only family you ever had.

"There are more important things," you said calmly.

Maul narrowed his eyes to angry slits; you could feel his anger vibrating in the Force.

"He turned his back on you, you were so desperate that you were willing to go with a stranger, far away from him, and now you just want to go back to him? Your training is not complete, nor have you received your answers that you so eagerly sought," he growled angrily.

When you didn't answer immediately, he took a deep breath as if trying to collect himself.

Much calmer, he finally said, "Well, you know where to find me."

Hunter growled, "I don't think that matters."

Maul said with a confident smirk, "Oh, I'm quite sure she'll be back. If not for your general inability, then for the unanswered questions that will eventually push their way back to the surface once the initial delightful excitement of your reunion is over."
