This story takes place after Fire Across the Galaxy but before Seige of Lothal (Season 2's premiere episode). It is a light AU and its length will depend on what I see in Seige of Lothal. Everything I know about Season 2's premiere is because i have a few friends who managed to get to Celebrations.

And as stated in my summary, I did prior research about electrical shock and its after effects. I am not a doctor and the internet is not always reliable so some of the medical stuff within this story will not be totally correct. I have done my best to get the best and most accurate information as I could, though. This story will have mentions of shock torture AND the medical stuff that goes along with it. If you are uncomfortable with that kind of thing, I highly advise you don't read this. Would rather not trigger someone if we can help it! ; w ;

Thank you to my friend, amazonkama, for beta reading this first chapter!

"Ow…" Kanan breathed out as Hera carefully helped him remove his shirt. She maneuvered it slowly up and over his head off his arms and discarded it onto a table. Hera continued to help Kanan, as he needed it, until he was stripped to nothing but a pair of shorts. She watched as he tiredly laid down on his bunk, basically sinking into it, eyes closed and body heavy as he relaxed himself for sleep.

Hera picked up his clothes from the table, hoping to wash them after this whole ordeal. She moved his boots next to his bed, placing them closer to the foot of it so he would not trip on them when he woke up.

"You need anything?" Hera asked, kneeling down next to him and running her hand carefully through his now untied hair.

"Is everyone else ok?" He asked groggily, voice quiet.

"Yes, they are fine. Ezra, Zeb and Sabine have all since crashed. I checked on them before I came to help you." Hera rubbed her thumb on Kanan's cheek before untangling her fingers from his hair. He let out a quiet sigh. She stood up, resituating the clothes in her arms and made her way to the door.

"Call for me if you need anything ok?" Hera said, looking back at Kanan. There was no response except for a small snore as Kanan got his well-deserved rest. Hera smiled before turning to leave the room.

She carried his clothes to the refresher, placing them in the sink. In a small cabinet above the sink, she pulled out a bottle of cleaner, carefully pouring some of the soapy liquid onto Kanan's clothes. Because of there being no room for any kind of washing machine on the ship, if they needed to clean their clothes they often just cleaned them in the sink. Quick and easy.

She removed her gloves and turned the water on to fill the sink. Once the sink was filled, she turned off the water and began scrubbing at the clothes. Hera let her mind wander, wondering what had happened to Kanan while he was in the Empires grasp. He hadn't told her much after they landed on Lothal and after Ahsoka left she didn't prod him for the information. She continued to scrub his clothes, ridding them of the sweaty odor that had stained them in the few days he was with the Empire.

Once she was sure they were clean, she drained the water and rung the clothes out, hanging them on a small metal towel rack to dry. She grabbed her gloves before exiting the refresher and made way over to her room.

The door to her cabin opened and she entered, placing her gloves on a small table that was built into the wall. She then removed her headphone goggles, placing them with her gloves. Next she removed her boots, placing them next to the door and out of the way. Once she finished removing the rest of her outer clothing and stripped down to a pair of shorts and a tank top, she climbed the ladder to her bunk and laid down.

A sigh of relief escaped her for more than one reason. First of all, with the little sleep she's gotten in the past couple days, she was more than happy to get a nice long rest. And second of all, she was relieved that Kanan was home, asleep and recovering from this whole ordeal. Both she and her crew can all rest in peace knowing that everyone is safe and sound… As she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, she promised herself that she would never, ever listen to Kanan in a situation like this again. Nobody is ever going to be left behind again.

"Hera!" Yelled a muffled voice. Hera's eyes opened sleepily and she sat up and tried to decipher whom it was that yelled for her. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes with one of her hands, she looked down to the door and saw Ezra standing there, still clad in the pair of shorts and a t-shirt that he usually wore to sleep.

"What is it Ezra?" Hera asked, sitting up into a hunched over position so that she wouldn't hit her head on the top of her bunk.

"Kanan fell over… He said he had lost feeling in his legs…" Ezra said, worriedly.

"What?" Hera quickly maneuvered herself out of her bed and down the ladder. Ezra moved out of her way as she went out of the room.

"Where is he?" She asked.

"In the common room." Ezra replied, following the worried Twi'lek to the common room. When the two of them arrived, they found Sabine and Zeb sitting on the couch by the game table with Kanan, who was sitting with his hand on his head.

Sabine moved out of the way so Hera could sit next to Kanan.

"What happened, Kanan?" She looked him over, checking for any bumps or bruises that may have occurred because of his fall.

"Well one second I was walking ok but as I turned to enter the common room to get something to drink from the kitchen, my legs spazzed out. Sharp pain and then they went numb for a little bit. Thankfully Ezra came to see what happened…"

"I was awake and I heard a small thump and a yell so I thought I'd check on what happened…" Ezra said, standing next to the table across from Kanan and Hera.

"Do you still feel numb? Is there any more pain?" Hera asked, looking down at Kanan's legs.

"I feel fine now. My feet still feel a little numb but other than that I'm ok…" Kanan said, wiggling his toes a little bit in an attempt to try to regain feeling in them.

Hera sighed as her eyes moved from Kanan's legs to his hands.

"Are you having similar feelings elsewhere?" Hera asked, grabbing hold of one of Kanan's hands and looking at it.

"No, nothing but my legs have spazzed out like that," Kanan said, watching Hera's smaller hands rub and feel over his larger ones, "It just felt like a wave of pain in my leg. I fell over because of how sudden it was, and the numbness didn't help me when I wanted to get up."

Hera paused for a few seconds before letting out a quiet breath.

"What did they do to you?" She asked, green eyes looking up into light teal.

"Well besides the mind probes and interrogation, electric shock. The only reason they didn't go to hard on me with it was because Tarkin didn't want me dead." Kanan said, looking away from Hera's stare.

Hera felt her eyes tear up a bit at what Kanan had gone through for them, what he had gone through to keep them safe. She pulled herself back, holding the tears down and clearing them from her eyes. Hera looked up at Ezra, who looked as equally as upset, but he was holding himself together better than she was.

"Well, electric shock can cause a variety of side affects," Sabine said, looking towards Hera, "I wouldn't be surprised if muscle pain and numbness is one of them…"

Hera intertwined her fingers with Kanan's, trying to comfort both herself and him.

"We will have to do some research… Fulcr- I mean – Ahsoka, might be able to help us out, maybe even get treatment for you, Kanan," She said, looking towards him, "But first, lets get you back to your room. I don't want you falling again." Hera stood up, still holding onto Kanan's hand.

The group helped Kanan up, then Zeb and Hera walked the ex-Jedi back to his room. He sat down on his bunk and, right before he laid down, his padawan came in with a cup of water.

"You said you were thirsty and that's why you got up… figured you might still want it?" Ezra said, handing the cup to Kanan.

"Thank you, Ezra" Kanan said. He was about to take a sip of it, but suddenly his hand began to cramp, pain shooting from the tips of his fingers all the way up his arm. He yelled out, the cup falling from his hands its contents spilling out onto the metal floor. He quickly grabbed his wrist with his other hand, letting out a loud yelp of pain and ignoring the water that now pooled at his feet.

"Kanan!" Ezra yelled as Hera moved forward to try and help Kanan in some way. Kanan's eyes were squeezed shut, teeth clenched as he gripped his wrist hard. Hera looked lost, unknowing of what to do.

After about a minute of confusion from pretty much everyone, Kanan's pain stopped, leaving behind a numb, tingling feeling in his fingers.

"That's what happened with my leg…" Kanan said, examining his hand.

Hera put her hand out and looked towards Kanan. She nodded towards his hand and he nodded back, putting his hand out. She took his hand and began to look over it, rubbing her fingers around his palm. She sighed.

"Lets contact Ahsoka… She may be able to help us…"

Hera and her crew (minus Kanan who was told to stay in his bunk) got themselves dressed and put together by the time Ahsoka arrived. She arrived with Bail Organa who had Medical Droids that could help examine Kanan.

"Its definitely electric shock," Said the Medical Droid, "Common symptoms of electric shock include numbness, tingling, muscle pain and damage, burns at the point of contact, cardiac arrest and other problems with the heart or brain. The spasms can cause bone damage if strong enough. There are no visible burns and it doesn't look as if your muscle spasms are harsh enough to cause any bone damage."

"I'm guessing whatever the Empire used on you they did it for long periods of time at low voltage, or they just didn't want you dead." Ahsoka said, looking from the medical droid to Kanan, who was sitting up in his bunk.

"A little bit of both," Kanan started, "I don't know how long they'd shock me for… I blacked out a few times during the shocks."

"Is there anything we can do for him?" Hera asked, standing up straight from her leaned position next to the door.

"There's no real treatment for nerve and muscle damage other than just letting it heal," Stated the Medical Droid, "I can give you some medicine to help with the pain, but other than that he just needs to rest and heal."

"So basically I'll be no help at all?" Kanan asked, voice low.

"You'll still be able to help with mission plans, but nothing more than that…" Hera said, moving to sit next to Kanan on his bunk. She rubbed his bare back with one of her gloved hands, "Don't worry, all of us will help you through this."

Kanan sighed, leaning back into his bed. The next few missions will depend on the rest of the crew. Hera would go on as many as she could, but special ones that require a quick escape will mean Hera would have to stay back on the ship, leaving Ezra, Sabine and Zeb on their own. Kanan knew the crew was capable, but didn't like the risks it involved.

But they would do it, one way or another.
