EEK. FreeForMe, Vader gets the ‘Palpatine certain Padme dead’ and ‘Padme had to be fed energy by ObiWan to survive’, adds one and one, and gets «Palpatine set Anakin up and tried to kill Padme». Combines that with the slaver chips in the clones and NOPES right out. Bye bye Palps, aw honey, don’t you want to be Empress Amidala?? (grin, just a thought)
He was going to
kill him.
Anakin was going to
outright murder him at first chance.
Slaughter him in
his own chair as the man was mid cackle. Yes that sounded good to him
and he grinned at himself in the canopy of his ship as he let the
autopilot go through the release procedures.
Then Anakin forced
himself to take a deep breath and let go of the thought.
He couldn’t, not
yet at least regardless how much he wished to but oh how he wanted.
He wanted to
torture the fucker to death and make him scream.
Because Sidious had
planned to murder Padme, it was his fault she had almost died. Anakin
hadn’t wanted to follow the impulse of that thought at first but
had then forced himself to examine him. Palpatine had been so sure
she was dead, so certain but Obi-Wan had confirmed that he had feed
Anakin’s wife energy which was why Padme had survived.
So yes, Palpatine
had almost killed both Anakin’s wife and his twins.
‘She is unhappy
with me… but if I made her empress… its to late to dismantle the
system now with all Palpatine has done but if I made her empress she
could do what she thinks is right and just… get it all okay again.
She’d be on Coruscant, with the twins, I could win her back.’
Anakin mused.
And then he slowly
turned his eyes towards the Imperial palace, a blood thirsty grin
appearing on his face as he did.
All Anakin would
need to do was arrange a little ‘accident’ for Palpatine and his
cronies. An exploding ship was all that was needed on a little…
‘trip’ with Palpatine leaving the seat of power to Padme Amidala
as his ‘heir’ because she and he had always been so ‘close’.
Whoever said that
Anakin Skywalker could not be taught to be devious and who cared if
anyone suspected the truth?
Anakin would do
anything to get his dreams now that he knew both his wife and his
kids were alive.
‘And maybe…’
A traitorously tiny voice whispered below it all. ‘Maybe you could
get your brother back too?’
Anakin blinked a
bit, taking the control of his ship as he was released and flew off.
Maybe he could get
Obi-Wan back too…

Watching Cody and
Waxer with a small smile, Obi-Wan leaned against the doorway as Waxer
babbled happily at his dad with his little chubby hands on Cody’s
wrinkle lined face as Cody nodded seriously ever so often or cooed in
return as a response as he rubbed his baby boy’s back with one
large hand compared to little Waxer who had come so early into life.
It was an endearing
picture that Obi-Wan never wanted to lose.
And he wouldn’t
because he had floated a holocam over to his hands from a shelf
without disturbing the two on the couch to take a proper holopicture
for his collection of pictures.
This one would be
the first of Cody and Waxer only though and it was making Obi-Wan
just go gooey all over even as Waxer let out a bone cracking little
yawn that stilled his babbles.
His little baby
stuffed a hand in his mouth and settled his head down on Cody’s
chest, nuzzling into the warm tunic covered chest while sucking on
his hand as Cody stilled his rubs to just watch for a few seconds.
Than he started to
rumble and hum a quiet song with Waxer blinking his eyes sleepily.
Obi-Wan knew there
was much to mourn but Force above, in this moment he was just utterly
grateful to be alive and with Cody again.
