Stranger UNDER EDITING

Miled cussing and mention of sexual harassment.

Summary (in case you forgot what happened in the chapters before).

Ahsoka and Anakin were called back early from a mission.

Requested by the Jedi council, Ahsoka finds out she was requested for a mission alone, into the mouth of the separatist pit.

Anakin mortified by the request, Ahsoka still accepts sent user cover as a slave.

While trying to find out the separatist plot Ahsoka runs into old friends Senator Bonteri.

After almost blowing her cover, he insists that she returns home.

Ahsoka refuses to leave her dangerous mission.

Later the slave owner she is spying asks Lux to stay at his home, to build a new dooms day Device for the separatist.

What does this mean for Ahsoka fate?

We were both baffled.

'Why is this happening, everything is putting me and this mission at risk.'

The whole crowd went into mumbles talking over what just took place. Everyone then went silent waiting for his response, as if the world stopped turning.

"So what do you say Senator? I would love your system Financial support and natural resources. Plus I know you studied engineering and architecture as a boy." He tried to persuade him. He held out his hand in total confidence, but I could see it in his eyes deep down he scared.

"no." I whispered to him not wanting him to get involved. I am not losing everything because of him, Lux good intentions or not will get me caught.

Lux turned to look at me, giving me a challenging look.

'Lux don't you dare, you'll mess everything up.' I thought to myself

He looked up and gave his show stealing smile, "anything for a old friend." He grabbed his hand pulling him into a bro huge.

The crowd emerged into cheers, random people oat him on the back, and passed him drinks. James said a few more things before ending his speech.

I kept my head down, but you would never tell that my thoughts were spinning like crazy. My emotions were flying around like a roller coaster unable to stop. But I found my composer, and settled on one emotion numb.

'It's okay I can still make it out with what I need.'

James and Lux started talking about his sleep arrangement plan, and how the days would look like. I kept my head down as taught, then someone approached us. I quickly stole a glance.

"James, my good friend." A man in about his late 20's early 30's said. "I am so happy to see you come this far, I brought you gift." Then I became aware of the young Togtuta women besides him. She was wearing less clothes than I did which shocked me, and brought me to feel sad for her.

"Make this my lucky week." He laughed at all the free slaves he'd been gifted.

My people have always been toked as objects, seen has workers and not people's. Before I was brought to the temple slave hunters time my whole village, and where trying to take me.

My whole was spinning like a tornado, with sharp grab of my past.

"Lux, you take Aria, I'll take my newest prize to walk around." With that James took off and I was left with Lux.

The Mans composure changed immediately. He stepped closer to Lux and talked in a low whisper.

"What the position you have wrongfully been gifted, Bonteri. If I were you I would step down and... let the more experienced take your place." He said not looking at Lux but the walk a head.

"I think I will do just fine thank you." Lux said not fazed.

"Oh... I see. I would watch your back Bonteri, you are so young and inexperienced. You have yet to learn who to trust... politics can be a dirty game." And with that he walked off clearly threading you.

Lux started walking like nothing happened.

I was shocked by his calmness, I looked around to make sure no one was looking at me.

"What are we going to do about him." I said in a hushed whisper.

"What do you mean?" He asked surprised, raising his eyebrow looking down at me.

"He was clearly threatening you." I stated Obviously, as he mindlessly walk around the crowd, with no clear destination.

"Probably a empty one, let loss Ash- I mean Aria."

'Idiot.'

"I've learn that a soft spoken threat is more dangerous then a gun to the back of your head."

Thoughts of distraction that count Dooku in ventriss has left in the past that start out with threats played in my mind.

Lux stayed silent after my remark, we continued to walk around the room, as Lux made small talk with more Separatist dogs.

We continued to walk around, and I could feel eyes on the back of my head. I turned to see Barack giving me a concerned look.

I have him a nod to show him I was fine. Right before I looked away, I saw one of the female Senators slap him in the behind before he walked away.

[A/N: sexual harassment happens to all genders not just girls.]. (It was really hard for me to write this I am so sorry if anyone has faced this in their life.)

(If it makes you feel uncomfortable comments or personally message and I will take it done)

(NOT TRYING TO BE CONTROVERSIAL)

It made my blood boil, it was if my mind turned off, and I went to confront her. But Lux knew me too well and grabbed my arm.

"We will give him justice." He whispered to comfort me. I brought my head down after give my friend a sympathetic look.  

Soon the party came to a end, James told me to show the girl to where the slaves sleep after we clean up.  He went to show Lux around, and talk about the agreement.  As soon as he left I ran towards Barrack to give him a hug. 

I know jedi can't form attachments, but we can so compassion.  

"Are you okay?"  I asked grabbing his face to see where James punched him.  I saw the red mark and I grew with anger.  "Both James and that girl had not right to touch you."  I said with my hands still cupping his face.  

He gave a weak laugh and pulled my hands down, "I'm fine, I am more worried about you."  his eyes went from soft to hard, as if he flipped a switch in his mind. "Did he touch you?"

I inter-winded my fingers with him. "no, no, no I'm fine"

I promised myself as long as I was here I would do all in my power to protect Barrack, and the others.  

I brought my attention to the new girl, letting go of his hands now knowing he was okay. 

"I am Aria, this is barrack.  Whats your name."  I asked, want to make this place bearable for her.  

But the truth is how do you confront someone after they have been thrown into the lions den?

"I'm Roux."  She said with a blank expression on her face, a expression I knew and wore all to well.  I could fell her eyes studding us, but i couldn't tell why. 

Then we started cleaning up the ballroom, but only if we could do the same with our memory's.
