So Moddy, your fic ‘andthentherewasnone’? Might we find out what Padme has to say about the Senate reaction to possessive clones? Is the rest of the GAR command getting the message? Has Hondo or Cad Bane come through with any interesting information? Inquiring minds really REALLY want to know! Thank you for another MARVELOUS read!!!!
Rubbing her cheek
against Anakin’s collarbone, Padme breathed out tiredly. “Its a
bit scary if I’m honest. Its not something that gets really spoken
about in the Senate but only idiots don’t realize the situation
with the troopers right now.” She murmured.
Being new parents
were exhausting and curling into Anakin’s warm body was really
nice.
She hadn’t really
slept the night through since the twins were born and neither had
Anakin honestly since he was staying with her for the duration.
Padme had also been
a bit disturbed to realize that a team of troopers were constantly
keeping her under observation too since the babies were born too,
apparently she by extension of being Anakin’s wife, was also
considered ‘theirs’.
And usually she’d
be very upset by that revelation but so far it wasn’t manifesting
in a dangerous way like a possessive or abusive lover would.
No, they followed
her yes, kept an eye on her apartment and offered her help with the
twins but other then that they stayed out of the way and didn’t
involve themselves in her day to day life. It was almost like being
followed by even more discreet shadows then her handmaidens.
The gentle petting
Anakin was doing was really nice though, the way Anakin was teasing
her scalp and playing with her hair.
He sighed deeply at
her confession. “I know. We know too. We all know but we’re not
really sure what to do about it. We can’t really stop them if they
really want to you know, they are autonomous creatures just like we
are and… well…” Anakin hesitated.
Shifting a bit to
raise her head off his chest and look at him, Padme waited for him to
mull over his words.
Sighing, Anakin
nervously fluttered his mech fingers. “They aren’t really doing
anything bad. Honestly none of know what to do but for the first time
Jedi actually feel like someones looking out for them, the entire
Council is in doubt what to do, some are even thinking of engaging in
relationships with their troopers and just… we really don’t know
what to do.” He looked at her a bit helplessly.
Padme could
understand that actually.
The troopers
weren’t slaves, even if they were disbanded, where in the galaxy
would they go?
And the Jedi were
now the only ones who could honestly actually control them at least
to some degree or at least the only ones the GAR actually listened
to.
The idea of other
Jedi contemplating relationships did surprise her though.
“So… wait and
see it is still?” She questioned and Anakin nodded.
“Wait and see…
its all the Jedi are doing too since we’re not sure how to go
forward honestly.” Anakin confessed to her.
She nodded into his
chest.
The two lovers were
unaware of the shit storm the vode were about to unleash on the
Senate however and would remain blissfully unaware until morning when
the revelation about the utter betrayal of Sheev Palpatine would come
to light.
But at least for
now, the entire Order at large were happily unaware of the Command of
the Vode meeting up with Cad Bane who had retrieved the information
Yan Dooku had offered up to the troopers in return for leniency for
the future.
Happily unaware of
the fallout of such information and the outright hunt for Palpatine
supporters both in the Senate and in the GAR leadership that weren’t
vode that would come afterward.
Sometimes ignorance
was bliss.
