There was no need to explain in detail to Padme what Anakin was doing or where he was going. His wife was worried enough over the comments made by Kun the night before. After seeing Luke's messages this morning, Anakin had barely spoken before rising from his computer announcing, "I'm going to him," and running off.
Yes, running. The thought of taking the car had been brief. Unless it could fly, which it couldn't, of course, it wasn't going to get him to the Hyperion any faster. Anakin summoned the Force to him, and used the power of it to take his legs faster than humanly possible. He was a blur of motion in the streets until he pushed open the door of the hotel and headed for the stairs, letting the Force guide him to his son.
There was a dark-haired young man with a scarred face sitting at a desk in the lobby. He looked up when Anakin entered, and was on his feet when the Jedi approached the stair. The man raised a hand, and Anakin felt the way barred by an invisible force. The man said, "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
Anakin turned, and raised his own hand, lifting the man off his feet with the power of the Force. It took willpower not to choke him and be done with it. "My name is Skywalker," he said, his voice resounding in the deep tones of Vader. At the moment, Anakin didn't care. "I'm here to find my son."
Curiously, the moment the man's feet had left the ground, his hands had filled with fire. Anakin was encouraged by the protection that was being raised, particularly when it was in defense of Luke, and decided not to press his attack just yer. Which turned out well. Upon hearing his name, the man nodded, the fire and the invisible force blocking the stairs dissippated. "He's upstairs," the man said. "With Mantis."
Anakin thanked him with a nod, setting the man back on the ground before charging up the steps. With Mantis. The words had been warning as much as guidance. There was no forgetting the man who had come to his aid against Jacen. Nor the power he could summon. Anakin stopped outside the door where he could feel his son's presence so strongly, and knocked, reaching out to his son through the Force to let Luke know he was here.
