same empire same blaring alarms. the sound was constant droning against her already throbbing skull just like that day so many years ago. with a stabbing pain in her temples ruby staggers out from her holding cell as events from moments ago replay in her mind. it was dark like the area between stars.. she couldn’t make out any light the helmet they’d forced over her eyes restricting use of her eyes, in more ways than sight. ( no doubt the empire tortured that intel out of him too. ) the burning of their taser-prods aching into her ribs prying out screams of agony had jarred someone in the room enough to free her… stepping out into the long hallway she hears feet running across the ceiling from the floor above. ( stormtroopers..) the steam of vents begin to add a haze to the surroundings. ruby spots someone on the ground at the end of the hall. they were clad in all black… it was an inquisitor… no that was.. her feet move before her mind can catch up and she’s running, legs sore and heavy. knees buckle as she crashes into a slide the last few feet to him.
“ Cal! C-Cal ?? no no no.. —” he was on his side, she rolls him onto his back hands nervously hovering over his limp body.
“ i’m Not leaving you here again.. we gotta go. “
ruby whispers, panic rising in her chest as she fears the worst. she just wanted to see him… see him breathe! ( please be breathing. ) after a quick glance she finds the buttons on the mask that unlocked the mechanisms keeping it to his head. the helmet unlocks with a quiet hiss and she tosses it aside, like she’d pried a parasite of the darkside. ruby caresses his cheek with a shaky breath seeing his brow furrow. he was alive. the hammering sound of footsteps snap her out of the panic.
“ Shoot! “ she grits her teeth looping her arms under Cal’s attempting to pull him.
“ C’mon Cal… we gotta go… get — up now please… Hnngh! “
