"This is general Syndulla from the phenix squadron. Is anyone there?"
Rahm jumped up out of bed hearing the com go off. He landed on his butt on the ground and had half the mind to yell into the mic. It had been at least three years since anyone used this for serious causes. Usually now a days, it was Toshinori Yahi from the Demio's base asking if he could watch his squad for him or is he could train with Deku over the next week while he was getting more treatment. If not then it was prince Allura from Saturn asking if Pidge was doing well. He had half a mind to pick it up and yell as loud as possible into it. Yet. The women's voice could be heard again.
"This is general Syndulla from the phenix squadron base on Autonone. Is anyone there?"
Autonone? Did she mean the old base on Autonoe? God no one had used that planet in years. After all Jupiter had 78 other moons to chose from that were much more efficient. The only ones who used to use it were the old order but, they fell the same year  earth citizens came into the intergalactic picture. Yet, it was still an important enough moon that people learned about it. And who would even say it like that who wasn't a child? In fact, he'd only ever heard two children try to say the name long ago. And space gods knows if Caleb would ever-
Rahm quickly jumped out of bed remembering his old friend. Caleb had been training under another high General to take her place when the galactic empire first struck. He went missing when the old order fell but, no one ever found any trace of him.
"Caleb?" Rahm found himself asking over the radio not thinking much. His heart was racing as his mind began to remember that young boys face. God he was only about 8 or 9 when the old order fell. He couldn't help but wonder what his friend looked like now. He would have been 28 by now.
The air was silent. He could hear a few mutters as people began talking. Rahm was just about to call out the name again when he heard a familiar voice. One that was much gruff and older sounding. One that had definitely gone through puberty but, was still around.
"Rahm? Rahm Kota?"
"Yeah! Yeah Caleb it's me!" Rahm cheered a bit standing up. It had been years since he heard his old friends. The only ones he had left now were Toshi and a Coran. Plus he had been stuck listening to a bunch of teens fight all night.
"Oh my god you're alive! Like alive alive!" Caleb sounded over joyed to hear his friend again. Rahm could picture him bouncing around a room excited like he used to do.
"I know right but, you know what your captain used to say."
"Caleb keep an eye on Rahm. With the trouble he's been in, if you watch him maybe you can learn to be immortal. I remember. God, how old was i when she first started saying that? Like 6?"
"Seven I think....Anyways what on earth are you doing on the old channels? Almost no one listens to these anymore. Hardly anyone even talks on it other than Toshi, one of Steven's moms, and me. On and old Alfor's oldest daughter!"
"Oh my god he finally got laid? How?" Caleb could be heard laughing loudly before the Bernal from before could be heard yelling at him and smacking him. Rahm laughed before he continued.
"I know right, but like I was at his wedding man. His wife got so drunk and got to hear all details about their bedroom life...yeah she was some lady alright...they died two years ago in a ship explosion but, my god me and their kids just laugh our heads off about them....so what brings you to the old communication line." Rahm asked sitting there. He expected a quick reply like they needed supplies or something. Instead he just got silence as he heard the women ask if this was a good idea.
He sat there in silence wondering. He kept wondering when he could hear kids laughing in the background while running around. Something about it unsettled him a bit until he heard his friends voice again.
"I...I took in an apprentice a few years ago..two actually. I'm still working on Jupiter and he's been nothing but, a great help here. He even gets along with my kids so well."
"Why are you bringing him up?"
"Rahm, he's much more powerful than me. I thought I could train him. Teach him right from wrong. Everything has been working out well...but, with this amount of power there comes so much danger. A few weeks ago he was on a mission with us. We're we're doing our usual things and we ran into some people...some dark users."
"Wh...Caleb that can't be right. There hasn't been a dark user in any form recorded since our old order was destroyed."
"I know. I know. Our muscle was able to help us keep them at bay but, we've been running into them ever since. They learned to sense other magic users. They hunt them down and kill them. We were reporting on them and trying to keep our distance but, they tracked us down. Because of how powerful Ezra is he can't hide his power level. They can track him now wherever he goes. We've tried everything but they always find him. If they sense he is alone they hunt him down and try to turn him...Rahm I don't know what to do with him."
"Send him to me."
"What?"
"Send him to me. I have children just like him being sent to me from all over. I'm already in charge of to many magic users to count. I mean I myself am in charge of a young girl named Star who can make anything out of physical matter, who is sugar high all the time. She alone made her last tutor go insane. So her mother sent her here two years ago and she's great with hyper kids. Then to add to that I alone am in charge with a bunch of boys. I mean I'm in charge of a psychic fire started named Kyle, a matter shifter named Meliodas, a flying boy named King, a fire breathed named Natsu's, a healer named Steven, a boy who can blow anything up named Katsuki...hell I even am in charge of Toshi's students for the time being. Then I have drunken kîller for hire children here too. Turns me if I can handle them I can handle him." Rahm spoke aloud.
"Wow. That's a lot of magic users...are you sure you can handle Ezra?"
"Caleb, you insult me. It could handle you just fine. I'm sure I can train a young boy with any kind of powers." Rahm smiled to himself. Honestly these days there was nothing he couldn't tackle. You know except Polaris running an army. That was the only thing he thought he couldn't handle.
"Okay..his name is Ezra...Ezra Bridger...he won't be stay with you guys that long I just...we just need somewhere safe for him to stay for a bit."
"Well bring him tomorrow morning and I can watch him for as long as you need." Rahm smiled brightly. All he kept thinking is he could do this. He could help his friend and handle another child.
Little did he know the actions he set into place.
