“Cody.” nothing. “Cody.” still nothing. “CODY!”

“Oh right. That’s me.” Cody mutters and turns to face Obi-Wan who’s eying him suspiciously. “Whadda-you need, sir?”

“Who are you?” Obi-Wan demands, stepping forward.

“It’s me, sir. Cody.”

“Really?” Obi-Wan arches a brow and takes another step closer. “What’s my name, Cody?”

“Obi-Wan?” Cody asks, taking a hesitant step back as Obi-Wan advances.

“Take off that helmet right now.”

“No.”

“Right now!”

“No!”

“Rex. Take off that helmet or I’ll take it off for you!”

The clone huffs and tugs off his helmet, revealing Rex underneath the yellow and white armour. “How’d you know it was me so fast?”

“Because Cody thinks my first name is General.” Obi-Wan says, frowning at Anakin’s Captain. “What on earth are you doing?”

“Well nothings really going on this week and we wanted to see how long it would take you to figure out we’d switched armour.” Rex says with a little shrug. Obi-Wan strokes his beard, as of he’s deep in thought.

“Anakin hasn’t noticed anything yet?”

“I haven’t heard from Cody. So no. But it’s only been an hour and you’re inhuman. No offence meant, General.”

“No offense taken.” Obi-Wan says. “I’m simply observant. Now put your bucket back on and let’s go see how long it takes Anakin to catch on.”

“Yes sir! ”

@letitrainathousandflames yes please write Anakin’s pov with Cody!

“That was
very reckless, sir!” says Rex as Anakin backflips back into safety and an
entire building crumbles down into flames

Anakin
frowns at Rex.

“What?
That?” he points to the roaring fire behind him “That was just like our assignment
in Concordia, while you and Fives covered me for the battle droids and Grievous
showed up…”

“It’s not
that first time you do that?” Rex points at the destruction behind Anakin, and
Ahsoka crosses her arms over her chest

“Hm. Are
you feeling well, Rex?”

“P-Perfectly!”
he stutters, straightening his back “One hundred percent, sir.”

Ahsoka
scratches her chin.

“Hey, do
you mind taking off your helmet so that I can take a look at your face? You
could have a concussion.”

Rex took a
step back.

“Uhh… Like
I said, I’m just fine.”

Anakin
snapped his fingers like he had just understood something, and he looked at Ahsoka
with a sly smile and a raised eyebrow, an expression perfectly mirrored by his
padawan.

“I say, Rex
ol’ boy” he began with a shrug “we need to get down from this wall before the
fire reaches us.”

Rex shrugged
back.

“okay, sir,
certainly.”

“AHA!”
Ahsoka screamed, pointing a finger at him

Anakin
pulled the clone’s jaig-eyed helmet out with the force to reveal a very
surprised Cody under it.

“Ah!” Cody
complained, trying to get the helmet back as it floated to Anakin’s hands “What
gave me away?!”

Anakin
smiled even wider now.

“Rex knows
this is code for ‘we are gonna toss you off this wall with the force’ and he
would’ve ran as far as he could from us and grapple his way down.”

Cody
nodded, frowning.

“Oh. I see.”
he made an horrified pause “Wait, does that mean…”

Ahsoka
thrusted her palm in his direction, shoving him off the wall with a blow of the
force.

“Happy
landing, Codes!”

All they
could hear next was the long, shrill scream as the clone fell. Anakin walked
calmly to the edge and stopped his fall just before he hit the ground, placing
him safely down to then give Ahsoka a high-five. Cody had never missed his calm
and collected general so much.

We so need the scene where Anakin and Obi-Wan meet up to swap their clones back again, and Rex is happy ‘cause he got a bit of a vacation from the crazy (because he hasn’t realised Obi-Wan went without food, sleep or mediation for three days), and Cody’s a nervous wreck.
