Chapter Text
Improbable, but not impossible. CC-2224 mused. Those were always the odds. Though when a Jedi led the mission, the odds were better. Much better.
The dropship shuddered as a wave of plasma energy screamed through the air and impacted nearby. CC-2224 watched as Kenobi easily kept his feet, riding out the turbulence. The man was an ideal leader. Kenobi was always the first in, the last out. He gave no thought to himself but he was never reckless when it came to others. His battle mind was in the present yet everywhere- an awareness that had saved CC-2224 and Ghost Company more than once. With a Jedi leading the mission, the odds were much better indeed.
There was a word from the pilot and Kenobi nodded. CC-2224 felt the tension build among the men as the dropship began its descent to deployment altitude. He felt his own heart increase in tempo as adrenaline coursed anew through his body.
There was one man who continued to remain calm and seemingly unmoved. He glanced at CC-2224 now. His grey-blue eyes were sharp and held an unmistakable expression that CC-2224 had come to recognize after countless missions together: Trust.
Kenobi gave a subtle smile and turned his eyes forward, his gaze bright and alert as the ground beneath rapidly drew closer.
“Ready, Cody?”
“Right behind you, sir.”
And together they leapt into the battle below.
