Rex seems to have been replaced by a cadet-aged version of himself - a shy, untrusting, scared child. How can they convince him that he isn’t dreaming? That they don’t want to hurt him? That he is going to live? -

I will be adding to the tags as I post chapters! I just don’t want to spoil what I haven’t posted yet because… well, you’ll see. So just keep an eye out. I have the big warnings on there though, and content warnings will be in the end notes.
Also, be warned. This will not be updated on a regular schedule because I am updating as I write.

Summary
“What changed in a matter of minutes?” Obi-Wan asked incredulously. He was used to Anakin pulling some wild stunts but less so from Ahsoka.
“That would be because – and I am quoting captain Rex here – commander Tano is an absolute menace, sir,” Cody answered.
“That’s not a real answer,” Helix frowned.
“Actually, no, that’s a very astute reasoning,” Obi-Wan sighed and pinched his nose bridge. “She takes after her master in that regard.”
