Sweethoney, reeeaaally? So, how many of the ‘scentless’ Jedi ARE omegas?? And how many of the clones landing in the arena are knocked out of their socks by the sudden scent of omegas in peril?? (If the Force, like Murphy, is a bitch, more than one older implant will be hit?)
Oh karking sweet
stars above.
Jango can hardly
focus on the Geonosians around them, can hardly shoot straight as he
fights the urge to flip out or gag and throw up, the scent of several
omegas dead around him something he can not and will not
ignore as he huffs and shoots with his back to Obi-Wan’s as much as
he can.
Occasionally
however his back will be to another Jedi and though he wants to raise
hackles, mid-fight is not the time for it as he continues to weave
and dodge and hit true aim on the bugs because there are omega
Jedi in the station that’s been killed.
He can smell a few
alphas too, hear them because regardless if they are scentless, they
can smell their fallen members and it seems an alpha Jedi is
not so different from Jango after all as he spots a human quickly
swipe her hand over the pulse point of an omega in the sand before
snarling loudly and taking the head off one of the Geonosians before
forcefully checking herself.
He reminds himself
of that when he stands there in the tight circles of Jedi that are
doomed, huffing deeply to remind himself he has his mate at his back.
Reminding himself to stay true because he has a mate now even if said
mate is Jedi and Count Dooku’s offer is no longer as tempting as it
once was as Obi-Wan kneels by a Jedi to check on their status.
And then Jango’s
clones enter the battlefield and oh they turn the tide with ferocious
snarls that would freeze the blood in the veins of lesser alphas.
Because they too
can smell.
And they were made
for the Jedi.
They aren’t mated
to any of them but they react just as Jango does, the hind alpha mind
telling them everything they need to know. There are omegas in danger
and some already dead or requiring medical aid.
And they will get
them to safety and get the injured medical aid.
Its kind of a blur
after that Jango has to admit, the presence of too much hormones and
battle haze is usually enough to blur defined actions in the best of
times that does not involve dead omegas but he remembers the feel of
Obi-Wan beside him, Obi-Wan’s arm pressed to his on the gunship,
the weight of the others gaze on him, the search for comfort that is
silently given before Obi-Wan runs off to confront and arrest the
Count.
And then its over
and Obi-Wan is injured and sour smelling and Jango can barely resist
the urge to pull him out of the medbed and into his arms. He resist,
knows better but the urge is there as he carefully slips his hand
over the others cheek and then lets his fingers brush over the bacta
patch on the arm, quite aware of its twin on the others thigh.
Skywalker lays in
the bed beside, quietly watching with an arm missing from elbow and
down and is also sour smelling of distress and pain with the notes of
painkillers beneath that. He’s not the only one, there are many
Jedi laying quietly while half observing Jango and Obi-Wan, some
smell like alphas and some like omegas.
Most smell like
omegas actually.
‘Injured means
not dead though.’ Jango reminds himself. ‘Injured means recovery
can happen for all they are bed laid at the moment.’ He’s not
sure what comes now, he’s not sure where he and Obi-Wan is left
with the Jedi’s rules but for now there are ample of omegas and
alphas and the secret has been broken.
The Order will have
to change.
And Jango will not
let go of Obi-Wan now that he has finally found him.
And from the way
Obi-Wan clings to his hand in return when Jango finally grasps it, he
does not think Obi-Wan wants to let go either.
