Star Wars: Ashes and Hope
Anakin knows there's very little that could convince him to hurt Amidala at home, and he hopes Padmé is right about her Anakin. He lets out a quiet breath, and nods. "I'll stay here, when we land, then. Where I can see, but won't easily be seen."
Padmé smiles, brief and weak, before she nods, turning back to the controls. Taking them off the platform, and smoothly past the lanes of traffic.
Watching until they've cleared the atmosphere, Anakin turns away, wrapping the Force closely about himself to hide the way Maul taught him. He should show Master Windu and Zett the same trick, so they don't risk discovery by proximity.
Down on the lower deck, he pauses a moment as he moves toward the back, frowning at the vague sense of familiar Force-presence, though it vanishes quickly. He shakes his head, continuing back toward the cabins, finding the one Zett's in first, and knocking.
"Zett?"
It's a moment before the door opens, Zett peering out at him with a small frown. "What are you doing? It feels like you're not even here."
"Hiding." Anakin smiles a moment, shrugging. "Do you want to learn how?"
"Is it like the thing you did earlier? With the cold and dark?" Zett shifts on his feet, a small frown on his face.
Anakin crouches down so he's more on Zett's eye level, watching his expression, and listening to the Force. "I learned how to hide from Maul, and he learned it from his Master, but I don't think it's actually a Dark Side technique. Just something the Jedi have forgotten is even possible."
"Are you going to teach Master Windu how to hide like this too?" Zett reaches out a hand, poking Anakin in the shoulder as if to reassure himself that Anakin's really there, and not some illusion.
"If he wants to learn how, then I don't see why not." Anakin quirks one corner of his mouth up in a grin. "It's useful, even if the people around you aren't able to use the Force. They tend to forget you exist."
A faint vibration runs through the decking as the ship jumps into hyperspace, though where they're headed, Anakin isn't certain. He should have asked Padmé that before coming down here.
"I should ask Master Windu if he wants to learn as well, so I can teach you both at the same time." Anakin pushes to his feet, holding out his hand for Zett to take. "The Senetor isn't going directly to Naboo, but to find Knight Skywalker first."
Zett's hand tightens around his, and Anakin squeezes back, silent promise he won't let his alternate do anything to harm Zett - or Master Windu, for that matter.
The cabin next to Zett's is a little larger, and Master Windu takes one look at him when Anakin knocks on the door, and waves them both inside.
"Did Skywalker already return to Coruscant?" Master Windu waves them to sit on the floor with him, and Anakin waits for Zett to pick a place before he sits at the third point of the triangle.
"No. Senator Amidala said she had a visit from Obi-Wan, and he's hunting my alternate. She wasn't happy I neglected to tell her that her Anakin had fallen prey to the Sith." Anakin looks down, shaking his head. "I didn't know how to tell her that earlier. It sounds like your Obi-Wan had no such problems."
"Did she tell you where we're going?"
"No, and I forgot to ask." Anakin shrugs one shoulder, looking up with a self-depricating smile. "I thought it would be a little more important to tell you who would be where we're going, and teach you and Zett how to hide like this. I don't know if Skywalker will be able to feel our presence when we arrive wherever it is, but I'd rather not find out the hard way."
