James Justice
Charting new Paths
James Justice's working fist slammed into the medical droid, cracking its photceptors. Its protests had been cut short and the spacer limped out of the medbay. After 8 hours in the bacta tank and some good old fashioned self-healing using the Force, he was fairly better than he had been; both of his broken feet had been mended, most of his open wounds had been turned into nasty patches of new skin, and his eyes were both working once more. He would need to have his three smashed out molars replaced when all this was over, but for now there were greater things to worry about--vengeance.
It wasn't like that was the first time he had been tortured--just one of the worst.
With his left arm still in a sling, and his muscles still aching with lactic acid, the spacer made his way to the bridge. The initial firefight to get to orbit had died down. Now it was time to get to work.
His entire fleet had come to command; all four of the Shadow-class cruisers, Both PuleFlare Heavy Cannon Cruisers, a mass of interceptors, bombers, fighters, and 100 of the Meridian frigates. James could see three of the other Shadow cruisers in the view port as he came on the deck of the fourth.
A hush fell over the deck as James stepped into view. The officers gawked, their eyes staring at both the sight he was and that the space was up and moving after the damage he had sustained. Some said he had died. They said he would never make it. But here he was, against it all, standing, walking, and preparing to help lead the war into the heart of their enemies. James didn't remember much about what had happened during the rescue, and he wished he could forget the prison, but here he was.
With a limping gate he crossed the deck to Anara wrapping his arm around her tenderly before dipping and planting a gentle kiss on her lips. He remembered what she said, that was most important.
"I love you," he whispered to her, savoring the feeling of her gentle skin under his touch.
Vengeance would wait for the moment. The love of his life was all that mattered to him right now.
