Hal's always been an interesting character, and I'm so glad that he's around to give the Rogues a hard time in this story. Hehehehhe thanks grin Tis a shame there aren't more Hal fics out there!

Poor Hal, the sort of things you’d say when you assume that you will be dead by the time the message is heard might be quite different from what you’d say when you thought you’d be alive.

Liked Corran twitting Hal about the fact he does look older.

Also liked how proud Hal was when Corran managed to even touch the force (same principle as looking at baby and saying “Look, he managed to blow a spit bubble! I’m so proud! And now he’s waggled one arm! I’m so proud!”).

Question the story raises is whether Hal will have more or less trouble with training Corran than Luke did.

Chapter Five

Because Halcyons were infamous in their inability with telekinesis, a skill most Jedi learn first, I started Corran out on pain suppression techniques and rudimentary healing. Once he managed to do these well enough, I started training him on shielding his presence from other Jedi...or Sith. Corran was doing fairly well with actively wielding the Force, when I was there to guide him, but yielding to it himself was another matter entirely. Over the past few days, his trust in me had increased, and as his trust in me grew, his faith in the Force did as well.

Probably didn't hurt that he'd seen it work for himself as well.

On our sixth day in Hyperspace Corran and I spent the morning with Tycho, glad to see that his wound was halfway healed. Corran seemed distracted, and took me by surprise, when he suddenly asked, "What about grandfather?"

I looked up at him. "What do you mean?'

"There has to be someone who remembers him working with a Jedi, and having our name alone could condemn him," Corran said, meeting my gaze. "He'd be killed instantly."

"For one thing, I'm not completely ready to be known as a Jedi yet," I began, answering his question slowly. "And secondly, your grandfather and I have discussed this before. We both knew it was only a matter of time before I was either caught or returned to the Jedi ways. He has planned for this, and knowing him, he has back up plans for his back up plans," I said, smiling slightly. "I gave him enough of a hint to begin preparing for that."

Corran nodded thoughtfully. "Do you think he'd ever join the Alliance?"

I pursed my lips. "He has his hands in more things than you can imagine; it wouldn't surprise me if he has helped already, in his own way."

He smiled slightly. "True." Corran withdrew his influence from Tycho, obviously too distracted to work. "We're going to reach the fleet soon."

The Rogues were still following security protocol with me, and I gave Corran a curious look. "You didn't have to tell me that."

Corran shook his head. "We only have about twenty minutes, and I'm wondering what we're going to do about Tycho. He may still need bacta, but he's already healed quicker than is natural."

"Some people heal faster than others," I said after a moment, taking a chair by Tycho's bed. "The medics will probably chalk it up to luck, or some strange miracle of the Force. The Jedi have been gone far too long for them to be considered."

"There's Luke."

I nodded. "Has he shown any healing abilities?"

Corran stroked his chin. "Not that I've seen."

"Do you know who trained him Corran?" I asked curiously.

"Obi-Wan Kenobi, though he calls him Ben," Corran answered, spreading his hands. "Did you know him?"

I pursed my lips. "Not well. The Corellian Jedi rarely left our system. Is he still around?"

"He died distracting Vader while Luke and Solo rescued Princess Leia," Corran answered, watching me carefully.

Wincing, I turned my gaze from my son's. Kenobi had been Anakin Skywalker's Master, and with the Republic Jedi, that was the closest thing to a parent\child relationship. I suspected that Kenobi had been distracting Vader not only from learning of the Princess being rescued, but also from Luke's presence. Had he thought that maybe he could have defeated him? Had he even tried? It seemed a bit of a waste to me, that the man had managed to hide himself for two decades from the Empire, only to give himself to Vader the moment he took an apprentice.

From what I knew of Kenobi, however, I was certain there had to have been an ulterior motive. And that motive was pointing strongly toward Luke. If there was one person in the Galaxy capable of confronting Darth Vader, it would have to be his son. But there was no way Kenobi could be so cruel....was there? I got to my feet, disturbed. "You said twenty minutes, Corran?"

Corran nodded, looking at me strangely. "It's been ten."

I walked over to Tycho's bedside. "Then we'd best wake him now."

"Why? Won't it hurt him?" Corran asked, coming over to stand by my side.

"He's out of danger now," I answered, resting my hand on Tycho's forehead. "And if we don't, the medics will think he's in a coma, because they will be unable to wake him." I concentrated, sending the Force into Tycho and gently bringing him out of the trance. Almost immediately the pain from his wound returned, and I looked up at Corran. "Is there any more deretinex?"

A moment later Corran handed me a pre-filled injector. "There's about three doses left."

Tycho stirred then, slowly blinking up at me. "How long... been asleep?"

"Just about six days," I answered, pressing the injector to the inside of his wrist. "Care for a pain killer?"

"Please," Tycho whispered, wincing when I depressed the cap. "Six days...that's a long time."

I nodded, passing the injector back to Corran. "About to get longer, we've almost reached the fleet, and you're going to need bacta."

Tycho grimaced. "Wonderful."

The door to the cabin opened, and Antilles peeked his head in. "We're reverting to realspace in two minutes, better strap in," he informed us, then disappeared back into the corridor.

I looked to Corran, taking a deep breath.

This was it.

***

Antilles landed the ship in the Mon Cal cruiser's hangar smoothly, and through the viewport I could see a medical team and a few others waiting for us. While Antilles left to lower the landing ramp and guide the medical team in, I undid my restraints and turned to the others. "What should I expect?"

"You'll be questioned by someone in Intelligence or High Command," Corran answered after a moment, getting up from his seat. "And maybe put through weapons or toxin screenings."

We stepped back for the med team to go by, and a moment later they passed by with Tycho on a hover stretcher. One of the medics held back, turning to us. "We have an emergency tank for him, but he's doing amazingly well," he said, giving us a curious look.

Janson, grinning, dropped an arm around Hobbie. "That's because Hobbie here's such a talented little nurse."

Hobbie glared and shifted away from Janson, but the medic hardly seemed to notice. He merely saluted him. "Good work, sir!" he said, then took off after Tycho.

I shook my head, exchanging glances with Corran, before following the stretcher out of the ship. Antilles was in the hangar already, speaking with a couple of people who I assumed were part of Alliance Command. Down at the bottom of the ramp was Iella Wessiri, and I couldn't help but smile as she gave Corran an enthusiastic hug. Ever since they met and became partners in Corsec, I thought that they were perfect for each other. Problem was, they couldn't have a relationship and still remain partners, so I kind of secretly hoped that they would be split.

Eventually.

After disengaging herself from Corran, she stepped back and noticed me. Her eyes widened slightly. "Captain Horn?" she asked, coming over and giving me a surprised hug. "It's about time," she said, pulling back away from me to look to Corran. "Did you contact him?"

Corran coughed, and looked away. "No, hehadtogetusoutoftrouble."

Iella frowned, pretending not to have heard him. "What?"

Sighing, Corran faced her. "Wedge was recognized; Dad was brought in to identify him."

"And I take it you said no?" Iella asked me.

I nodded. "Right after I saw Corran trying to climb underneath his bench."

Corran glared, and Iella laughed. "I'm sure he was."

"Janson started the cantina brawl," Corran informed her defensively.

Iella raised an eyebrow knowingly. "Did you help finish it?"

Corran answered that he could hardly let him deal with three men alone, and I shook my head, smirking slightly. Iella was very good at putting my son in his place, and with his ego, that would certainly be a nice trait in a wife. I continued to entertain thoughts of them one day marrying, somehow, in my paternal blindness, misinterpreting the looks and smiles she was sending over to Antilles.

I folded my arms, quite convinced Corran and Iella were meant for each other, completely unaware that in the next couple of days, the idea would fall rather flat the moment he met Mirax Terrik.

Hehe. I love Janson.

Ever since they met and became partners in Corsec, I thought that they were perfect for each other. Problem was, they couldn't have a relationship and still remain partners, so I kind of secretly hoped that they would be split.
Aw. He’s so cute. He wants his little boy to date, settle down, and be happy. Too bad he picked someone too alike him.

I nodded. "Right after I saw Corran trying to climb underneath his bench."
Poor Corran. Parents can be super embarrassing.

"Janson started the cantina brawl," Corran informed her defensively.
Wow, Corran just sounded like he was two!

Iella raised an eyebrow knowingly. "Did you help finish it?"
She’ll be a great mom!

Corran answered that he could hardly let him deal with three men alone, and I shook my head, smirking slightly.

Heh. Parents. My dad thought I liked the guys that were my friends, but the guy that was my friend that I actually did like, he didn’t notice that we started dating until about two months into the relationship. Men. :: sigh ::

Awesome post!

First Person Narrative can be rather tricky at times, but you do it so well!

I love Hal's thoughts on the Jedi, Obi-Wan and Iella.

I really doubt "flat" would be the word that first came to Hal's mind... and I *know* it's not the word Booster would be thinking. tongue

Hmmmm, I imagine fitting in with the Rebels will be an adjustment for Hal. I wonder what will happen with him and Han...and Mirax for that matter.

Hal and Corran get along rather well. I like that Corran thinks about his grandfather's safety. they do work well together.
Janson's comment about Nurse Hobbie was great.
Poor Hal - he's trying to marry off his son, but he's hoping he'll hook up with the wrong woman. I loved the banter with Corran, Hal and Iella near the end.

More soon?
