The crew on a mission when they were spotted. They were shooting at the groups of troopers managing to get a few hits. They started making a run for the ship. Ezra turned around to try and get another shot in when he got hit in center of his chest. He yelled in pain and fell to the ground.
They yelled out his name and Kanan yelled to Zeb to get him. He grabbed the kid and ran back to the Ghost with the others. They boarded and quickly flew off the planet. Hera put the Ghost in hyperspace and started diagnosis check. She suddenly heard her comm beeping. She answer and Kanan said "Ezra was shot! Get to the Med Bay!" She jumped out of seat, not bothering to answer or check the results.

She ran into the Med Bay to find Ezra pale and sweating with a growing red spot on his chest. She ran all over the Med Bay getting her supplies of stitches, gauze, and tweezers while yelling "Get his shirt off now!!" They did as they were told and undid his shirt and gasped in shock at the sight of the child.

He was covered in scars of what looked liked burns, whips, knifes, and a burned on brand number printed across the right of his chest E7852. Hera ignored them and got to work on her new patient. The others just stood there speechless at the sight. She said without turning to them, "I need you all to get out while I handle this." They nodded and numbly walked away.  Hera sighed and thought 'what have you gotten yourself into' and continued doing her best on the wound.

The crew sat in living room in silence for an hour waiting for Hera to get done. She finally came in and said "He's up and needs to take it easy for a while so no missions or training." They nodded and stood up worried how they would find Ezra.

They all walked into the Med Bay to see Ezra laying there shirtless with his scares and bandages on show and a blanket on his lower half. He just laid there staring at the ceiling bored and waiting for questions he knew he he'd have to answer. Kanan was the first to speak, "Why didn't you tell us?" Ezra sighed and replied "I thought you would return me to my slave master." They nodded in understanding. Sabine was next, "How many years?" "I'm 14 now and was captured at 9 so 5 years." Zeb was confused so he asked "You escaped this year?" Ezra nodded wincing. "Yeah the day I joined y'all was the day after I escaped."
Sabine was hit with another question. "Who was your master?" He shakily sighed in fear and worry saying "Harvey Wood, I'm sure you've heard of him." They gasped in surprise at the name.
Harvey Wood is a famous slave owner who is popular for his ruthlessness. Just the thought of Ezra in his hands sends shivers down The crews back.

They noticed Ezra started to nod off and Hera shooed them out saying Ezra needs his rest. The rest went to the living room again to speak about what happened.
"I can't believe he was a slave. He's so happy." Sabine said. They nodded and Zeb said "Yeah much less from Harvey Wood." They nodded once again. Kanan stood and said "Yeah but we  will 't let him get him again. We'll protect him." They nodded and walked out to go to bed after that long mission and the Ezra's secret they were exhausted.
Hera did one last check on Ezra and went to her room. They all went to sleep thinking the same thing,          'We'll protect him.'
