Fandom: Star Wars
Rated: PG
Category: Gen. Galen Erso POV.
Time Frame: Rogue One.
Spoilers: ROGUE ONE. Minor, but present.
Summary: Lyra Erso gave Krennic a gift – one that keeps on giving.
Word Count: 152.
--- Repeat: Rogue One Spoilers ---
Blaster wounds are odd.
At first, they barely register.
Then the burn sets in. It goes deep and doesn't let go.
Not until it heals. And that takes time, even with bacta.
But finally, the burn fades. The heat goes away and you can move again without catching your breath.
Still, the ache persists. Even with all medicine can do, the muscles pull and stretch and are never quite the same.
It's worse when it's cold. Or when you first get up. Or when you're tired.
It's been a long day in the lab, and Krennic has graced us with his presence for most of it. He's at his desk, and he rubs absently at his shoulder. Then he rolls his neck, and I smile to myself.
Because it doesn't make up for what he's done. Not by a long shot. But it's something.
It hurts him.
And that's enough.
For now.
