"I love you too." An-Lok whispered back as she basked in the feeling of happiness that Jax shared with her, smiling for a moment with him before he was telling her that he was going to sleep. "No, Jax you need to stay with me. Jax? Jax!?" She called his name, putting more pressure on his leg before looking up and looking for Aeris, to call for her help only to see that she was still busy with healing Jek. They would need to wait or hope the shuttle arrived sooner. Her hands shook when the other woman came to her side to heal Jax and stop the bleeding. With both men stable, and alive, An hesitantly left her boyfriend's side to see how Jek was. She cringed at the sight of the gash on his left side, how deep it appeared and how some of his flesh appeared to be hanging there.<br/><br/>As Aeris meditated for energy, An paced in the space between both men while waiting for the shuttle to arrive. She felt it the same time and moved to march out and bark orders when Aeris took on the role first so she stayed with their boys, summoning their lightsabers to her blood covered hands as soldiers very carefully placed both on stretchers to load them onto the shuttle. Her focus became them, growling out for the soldiers to be extremely careful or the shuttle was going to go back without them, one soldier less.<br/><br/>Locking eyes with Aeris as the Shuttle was being loaded, she shared in her pain, sadness and guilt, wishing she felt the danger long before they neared the house. She wished that everything could have turned out differently and that their boyfriends were in danger still. She looked her usual angry Sith Lord persona despite her worry as she moved to stay at Jax's side. She too did not sit down, choosing to stand them and keep them safe the trip back up to the cruiser. She had used the Force to them from shifting around instead of letting them be strapped in.<br/><br/>Last off the shuttle, three lightsabers hung from her belt as she and Aeris quickly followed after their men to the rather pathetic looking medical bay. She had to be held back from staying right beside Jax, causing her to feel distressed but outwardly all the staff saw was anger. She uttered multiple verbal threats, but listened and stayed virtually pressed to the glass as she watched them repair damage and clean him of the linger blood. When he was given blood to replenish what was lost, An finally relaxed and waited permission to go to his side. A shower and change of clothing could wait, for now all she wanted was him.<br/><br/>*<br/><br/>An-Lok had to be convinced to leave Jax's side to shower and change. When she returned an hour later, she still had three lightsabers hanging from her belt, though the ones that had been covered in blood were now clean. And she wore the dusty rose shirt normally only worn in their quarters because he liked it. Her hair was still damp and loose around her shoulders as she took up her spot at his side once again. It was hard not being able to hold his hand but he was in a bacta tank to heal fully. However long it was going to take, she would stay at his side.<br/><br/>****<br/><br/>Jek woke slowly, aware of three things as he returned to conciousness. The first was that he was breathing through a mask, the second quickly followed in that he was floating and the third filled him with a calm as it was Aeris' presence right there close by. His eyes opened slowly to adjust and look out at the medical facility of the battlecruiser. Moving forward to the glass, he pressed his palm there and repeated<span style="font-style: italic"> "Hey beautiful."</span>To his girlfriend to garner her attention so that she could get someone to get him out. He had no idea how long he had been asleep for, but right now all he wanted was to wrap her up in his arms.
