"Why do you hide your face?"
"Why don't you? You're the wanted man, are you not?"
In which a very distrusting Jedi finds a best friend in an outspoken bounty hunter with no impulse control.
Cal Kestis and Raven Skywalker had an undeniable bond from the moment they met as young Padawans, a bond that was observed by everyone around them. Of course, it was brushed off as youthful infatuation and assumed it would eventually pass.
But those who laughed it off had no idea of the lengths these two kids would go to protect each other.
Order 66. A tragedy, an atrocity, the beginning of a new and horrifying chapter, all wrapped into one fucked-up gift basket that's chucked at your doorstep instead of tenderly placed. Hundreds, thousands even, killed. Lives snuffed out in moments. Men, women, children. Mercilessly mowed down by the clones.
Not many people, especially children, made it out of the massacre alive. But Cal Kestis did, surviving thanks to the sacrifice of not only his master but his only friend, right before his eyes.
Years later, Cal is a scrapper on Bracca, keeping his head down and severing his connection with the force to keep himself safe. But his whole world is turned upside down when his friend is murdered right before his eyes, he becomes a wanted man, and a ragtag group of most likely criminals end up saving his life.
The most notable of this bizarre group is a masked woman named JJ with seemingly no past and yet a lot to hide.
