More TIEs would come. Fel knew it. The Empire was persistent when it came to traitors. She took the gunner's seat, her fingers wound tightly around the handle, waiting. The ship escaped the system but had yet to jump to lightspeed.<i>Was Kia hurt?</i>she wondered. Fel started to lift herself out of the gunner's station when she spotted six TIE fighters approaching. She breathed deeply and retook control of the cannon. As the TIEs came in fast, he started to line the first fighter. The gunner seat station started to shake.<br/><br/>The Imperial fighters were gone instantly as the hyperdrive kicked in, and Fel breathed easier. Then, crawling down from the gunner's station, she heard Mia call out. She exclaimed how the escape had gone better than she expected. Fel couldn't disagree.<br/><br/>"I have to agree with you, Mia. Second time tonight," Fel chuckled. The Corellian took a seat in the main hold to examine her jacket. The left arm was covered in dark soot from blaster fire and blood splattering. She winced and hissed as she removed the brown coat. Underneath, her cream-colored top also took a hit. The left arm of the blouse was charred tatters.<br/><br/>Fel tossed her coat in the corner. "I loved that jacket," she said, then removed her top in front of Mia and threw it into the corner. From her waist up, the woman wore only a black bra that lightened her dark skin. The bolt from the Troopers blaster burned a tiny chunk of flesh off Fel's shoulder, but it hurt like hell as she could feel the full effect now that she was off the high of the adrenaline rush.<br/><br/>"Do you have a medkit?" she asked, still wincing. "Get me something. I'll deal with it."<br/><br/>A long pale scar ran over Charey's right side and made it clear that the girl was familiar with gunplay. In addition, several minor burns and scars adorned the woman's torso, a sign of a dangerous occupation. She retook the seat in the main hold, waiting on Mia and the med kit.<br/><br/>"It was my own damn fault," Fel grumbled. "I froze when the shooting started." The woman looked away, embarrassed for the first time.
