Kanan's POV
"He must mean it."
The room was silent.
"We have to help." Hera agreed.
The three stood and left, they filled Zeb in and left to look for Ezra.
Kanan was the one who found him.
Through the Force. But his signiture was clouded.
Ezra was in a small shack and the door was locked.
"Ezra? Can you open the door please?"
No answer.
"Zeb, break it down." Kanan demanded.
Zeb cracked his knuckles. Then he grabbed the door and ripped it off the hinges.
The crew walked inside. There was no light, but there also wasn't any noise.
Kanan ignited his lightsaber so they could see.
And there was Ezra. In the back of the shack.
A razor blade not far away from a blood coated hand.
Blood pooled around Ezra.
There was too much for Kanan to handle.
Kneeling down next to the 15 year old, Kanan gently tapped the side of his face.
Nothing.
"Ezra. Wake up."
Still nothing.
"Ezra?"
He was still.
Kanan felt for a pulse.
It was so weak Kanan thought that he may not make it.
Picking up the boy bridle style, Kanan stood.
"We need to get back to the Ghost. Now."
The crew hurried to the ship.
And following Ezra's warning they took off.
Kanan brought Ezra to the med-bay and hooked him up to an IV.
Kanan had discovered that Ezra had been cutting, so he wrapped up Ezra's arms.
Kanan felt so helpless.
Yes. Ezra had betrayed them. But the data chips Ezra had gotten them actually had valuable things on them.
And,
He left.
Because he didn't want to hurt them.
He didn't go home, because he was home sick.
Kanan pushed Ezra's hair out of his face.
Ezra's usually ivory tan skin was pale.
Kanan would have thought he was dead, if not for the uneven rise and fall of his chest.
Kanan was worried for Ezra.
Would he make it?
Kanan didn't notice that he had drifted to sleep.
Until he woke up at least.
Ezra was awake when Kanan woke.
His blue eyes stared at the white ceiling.
For long moments the two Force sensitives didn't speak.
The silence streached.
Finally Kanan spoke. "Ezra, we know that you betrayed us. But in the end you helped us as well. We couldn't sit around while you died. Because you are specter 6. You are my padawan. You are Ezra Bridger. And you are a rebel."
Ezra looked at Kanan before launching up and hugging Kanan.
"I am a rebel. And I was lost. But then was found."
