Anakin stepped off the train car and expected the hard concrete of the platform of the station closest to Ahsoka’s apartment – the Ahsoka who lived in his universe. The purpose of his trip was a certain red-bladed lightsaber he was carrying in his backpack. He intended to do something to fix that red blade. And it was secured next to his other lightsaber and three bags of different kinds of candy and his meds he always carried with him – he had priorities.

With ear pods in and his focus on the phone in his hand, it was the smell that alerted him that something was off. Or rather, the lack of a certain smell – the offensive mixture of human sweat, urine, and the awkwardness of pubic crowds that was unique to American train stations.

And then he noticed nothing felt right. He looked up and stopped.

To every side were consoles manned by individuals who all looked the same – who were now looking at him. All work seemed to have come to a halt all at his fault. And everything, the computers, the people, the backdrop of the planet hanging in the viewport, was so familiar to him – only in dreams.

But the proof this wasn’t a dream was standing in the center of the room.

In the center of the room was a circular console, displaying a hologram of scattered ships and a planet. And around the display, were some very familiar faces. But none more so than his own.

“Ah! C’mon!” he exclaimed, not taking out his ear pods or even the sucker out of his mouth.

The Universe was fucking with him again.

It went without saying that Anakin sensed someone else aboard right about the same time he also felt the shock and puzzlement from his men. Was looking up and around when he heard a very familiar voice exclaim something. Anakin himself muttered some curses under his breath, a tic of an eye brow up, his eyes flickered towards the intruder, a faint roll of his shoulder towards Obi-Wan even at he reached forward to cut off the holodisplay. He knew Obi-Wan would catch what he wanted - one on either side to approach.

"I think someone got lost." There was plenty of sass there sure, but it was deceptively flippant. Concerned was an understatement but it didn't do to show it, not here, not now, not with so many faces watching.
