The roof of the MCA, Monday

[futurespacemom]

As promised, Hera was going to take Jacen flying. As suggested, she wasn't going to use the Phantom unless he protested the current plan.

She led him up to the roof and over to where Kanan's ship was parked. "This is the Escape. What do you think?"


[Expecting the one!]

Jacen frowned a little, looking up and out at the vastness of space before them, a star system that he didn't recognize in a galaxy far from home.

"... Do you think you'd both fit behind the pilot's seat?"

They weren't so far out that he couldn't turn back. And he still wanted to show Hera what he could do.

"Well, we might have to get a little friendly," Hera said, grinning, "but I think we could manage."

"I'm going to go back to get him." Jacen turned to give Hera a little smile over his shoulder, and then turned the ship around. "This is his ship? Maybe he knows something about how she handles that we can play with in that asteroid field."

Bonding time.

"He might," Hera agreed. "Or he might be a worse backseat pilot than me. Don't worry; I'll try to hold him back. Want me to call him, or would you like to?"

"Can you? I think I need to take the flight back to nerve myself the rest of the way up to this."

Making up his mind didn't make it easy.

"Sure." Hera gave him a half-hug as best she could without getting in the way, then sat back to turn on her comm and call Kanan.
