Summary:

Considering that he had picked up what was probably a Sith artifact, promptly passed out in the middle of a war zone, and apparently woken up twenty years in the future with Obi-Wan having taken up residence in his head, Anakin thought he was entitled to have a few questions.

Obi-Wan swept his hand out to gather Padmé behind him, putting himself between her and the conference room. He felt a moment of resistance, then she permitted herself to be pushed back, her horror humming in the Force.

Darth Vader had that effect on people.

“I have been waiting for this for a long time,” he said in his heavy, mechanized voice.

Obi-Wan pushed Padmé further back, aware without the necessity of looking of the battle droids marching into the room, the Naboo guards and handmaidens moving to encircle Padmé, the clones starting to form square around them.

“So have I,” he said, shedding his cloak with a shimmer of brown fabric. Slowly, deliberately, he took a step forward into the room, watching the way Vader’s helmeted head moved to look over Obi-Wan’s shoulder at Padmé.

I know you, Obi-Wan thought, but what he didn’t know was why. “Cody, protect the Senator,” he ordered without looking back, and slammed his fist into the door control to shut and lock it, ignoring Padmé’s cry of protest.
