I stare at Temari for a few seconds. "You're right... I am better." I snatch up one of my pistols. "I true Mand'alor does it herself!!" I fire at Cosen.

"NO!" I jump in front of Cosen and throw my hands up, catching the blaster bolts in my palms. Most of the energy I absorb through tutaminis, but it still burns a bit and knocks me on my butt. "Ouch!!"

I freeze for a moment, shocked by HJ's actions. Then, with a roar of anger, I throw my blaster aside. "Damn it! Why can't you just die like you were supposed to?!"

I am helping HJ to his feet when I hear Ava's words. "What did you say?"

I step around the desk. In a very slow and menacing way, I speak. "I said... why couldn't you have died today... like you were supposed to."
