Before we begin I want to say that this is my first Star Wars fanfic ever as I am new to the fandom. Not sure how I managed to go my entire life without ever seeing any of the seven movies but when the new one came out I decided to finally watch the movies. Beware, I'm writing this having only watched each movie once. Poe's sister, why? Because. There's no real reasoning behind it, I just decided to do it. Reviews welcome and apperciated. Let's dive on in.

Chapter One

Rescue Mission Begins

Finn had only been awake a few days and he still hadn't left the MED bay, he was still required to take medication for the pain though it took a lot of persuasion to get him to do so and he was undergoing therapy to get him walking properly again. He couldn't walk far or fast, it was more like shuffling feet than actually walking but Poe was there to make sure he got better. Rey was still gone, but she'd be back and Poe took his mind off a lot of things, visiting him every day without fail, no matter how busy he was and talking to him about anything that wasn't his medication or therapy. Poe had managed to convince the doctors to let him take Finn to the cafeteria for some real food, though he didn't say that. What he did say was: To let Finn stretch his legs and get him out of that bloody bed. The doctors knew that Poe would take Finn with or without their permission, so it was no good to deny him. Poe just thought it would do Finn some good to be surrounded by people who weren't sick, injured or doctors.

They were sat around a table with Poe's flight mates, telling jokes and trading stories when Harjack Uffomap approaches the table and stands beside it, looking directly at Poe as he clears his throat. Confused and interested everyone looks up at him expectedly but Harjack just stands there stiffly, staring at Poe.
"General Organa has requested to see you, Poe Dameron" Harjack says, his voice emotionless like a robot.
BB-8 beeps curiously for the space beside Poe, but Poe ignores him. It's not his place to say no to the general, so he nods at Harjack and turns to his friends quickly.
"You'll be alright if I go see General Organa, right?" He asks Finn.
"Of course" Finn tells him.
Poe nodded again and got up from his seat, telling BB-8 to stay with Finn while he was going to see what all this was about and followed Harjack through the sea of people and out the room.

"Why does she want to see me?" Poe asks as they walk.
"I was told to collect you and drop you off, no more" Harjack replied, not even turning to glance at Poe as they walked.
"Right" Poe stated as they stopped outside a door.
The door opened and Harjack stood outside as Poe walked in to see Leia is standing at the end of a table with three others around her. He recognised them as being the crew that was sent with his sister Nia on some secret mission almost two months ago, though they weren't supposed to return for at least another month. He could have sworn there was another person sent on the mission too, also his sister wasn't there. Turning to the general, Poe tried to look more curious than confused, whether it was working or not, he didn't know. Where was his sister?

"I was told you wanted to see me" Poe says as more of a prompt for information that an explanation for his presence in the room.

"I'm sure you remember Kadcha, Colder and Miyhale" Leia begins, gesturing to each of the crew members in turn. "They were sent on a mission with your sister and one other, Jhemme Noll, two months ago. Unfortunately, they were not able to complete the mission and had to return communication systems on their ship was damaged and they couldn't get in contact to inform us sooner. Your sister, Nia, was captured by the First Order, " she paused and looked at Poe's face for a seemed to be processing the information slowly, like he heard the words, but they were taking a long time to sink in. Then his face almost dropped as realization hit him. His sister - his little sister - has been taken by the First Order.

He loved his sister, but she wouldn't last two seconds against Kylo Ren or the force. She was strong and they could torture her without getting a word out of her, but if Kylo Ren used those Jedi mind tricks, she'd never stand a chance and then she'd spend the rest of her life having an inner war with herself about it. She'll hate herself for being that weak even though it's not her fault. He's seen her beat herself up about not being able to help what she can't control before and he can't watch it happen again, she almost destroyed herself the last time.

"Kadcha has voluntered to go on a rescue mission and get her back, if he can" Leia continues.
"I want to go too" Poe says instantly, interrupting her.
"I knew you would. You'll need to take another ship, your communicaition systems will need to work so we can contact you at any time. Before you leave, I want all of you returning from the previous mission to get looked at by a doctor, you sustained some injuries that might require care or require you to stay on the ground" Leia said sternly.
Poe was looking around at the people in the room for the real first time, they looked injured. Colder was sitting down with his leg propped up on a stool, Miyhale had a presumably broken nose and Kadcha who appeared to have busted knuckles.
"Wait" he said, looking back at Leia as a thought occurs to him. "Where's Jhemme Noll?"
"He was taken to the infirmary when he arrived, he was badly injured and became unconscious during the journey back. All of you will go to the MED bay now and have a doctor look you over, the rescue party will leave when you're finished. Dameron, I suggest you get yourself ready for a long flight" Leia says.

Poe nods and then leaves the room, noting how Coldar had to lean on Miyhale for support as he limped out. As he walked Poe could hear Kadcha talking to him, saying something he wasn't bothered about listening to. They never got along and things have only gotten worse over the years, with Nia and Kadcha's friendship falling apart too, he had less tolerance for the man and quickly got away from him; looking for Finn. Poe wasn't sure how to tell his friend, he was leaving. He shouldn't be gone for long and he was sure that it wasn't that he was leaving that would bother Finn. No, it wasn't that he was leaving, it was where he was leaving too. Though this was his sister, he didn't have a choice. He hoped Finn would understand, not that he'd change his mind if he didn't.

Before Poe can figure out how he's going to tell Finn he spots him and BB-8 at the opposite end of the corridor, walking towards him, they're probably heading back to the MED bay. Poe waits for Finn and BB-8 to catch up to him and when he does, Poe turns and walks -shuffles- with Finn back to the MED bay.
"Your friends are nice" Finn says as they walk.
"Yeah" Poe replies with a grin, but his grin drops as he remembers what he needs to tell Finn. "Hey, Buddy, I have to go away for awhile. On a rescue mission, I shouldn't be gone long but I have to go to save my sister."
"Okay" Finn replied simply as they rounded the corner.
"Okay?" Poe asks, surprised by Finn understanding, though he hadn't told Finn where he's going yet, though Finn's not stupid and has probably guessed already.

"She's your sister, you should go after her" Finn says as they enter the MED bay.
The rest of the crew is in there getting examined, Coldar is arguing with a doctor about something, Poe doesn't care enough to listen and Finn seems to be blocking it out as he tries to get into bed without causing himself too much pain. Poe pulls a chair over to sit beside him.
"You never told me you had a sister" Finn adds when he finally settles in and stops wincing in discomfort.
"It never came up in conversation" Poe replies shrugging it off. "Besides, she was on a mission when we meet, I'll bring her to see you when we get back. You'll probably like her, she's a lot like me, only I'm a better pilot."
"And your ego's bigger" Kadcha muttered, not so subtly, under his breath.
Poe chooses to ignore him, getting into a fight with Kadcha wouldn't do anything now for anyone besides cause a scene and end up delaying the mission. Finn heard it and while he wanted to say something, he saw a Poe's face and thought it was better not to get involved.

"I should go and get ready for the misson, I'll see you as soon as I get back" Poe promises getting up from the chair.
"Poe" Finn says as Poe reaches the door, Poe turns to look at him. "Try not to get yourself killed."
Poe smiles, but he makes no promises and leaves the room with BB-8 chasing after him. Poe allows the droid to follow him back to his quarters. A room made for two people but the other bed had been empty since forever. He changed into his piloting gear and packed a few more things before giving BB-8 orders to stay with Finn while he was away. BB-8 beeped to show he understood his orders and Poe smiles at the unit before leading it out the door. They go outside, into the fresh air that is the landing bay. It's late afternoon now and there's not many people around, not that it matters.

He stood there, thinking about things as he waited for everyone else to come out and join him. He thought about how he didn't know what their mission was or where they were going, Nia had never not told Poe where she was going before or what she was doing there. He always knew what she was doing, where she was. Nia always told him, he didn't need to ask anymore, she just knew to tell him. That way he knew where she was. It was the same way when they were young, she could go anywhere she wanted as long as he knew where she was going and when she'd be back. So if something went wrong, he knew where to find her. It was strange knowing she was out there and he had no idea where she was, what she was doing. Orders were orders and sometimes missions were secret, but she must have known he wouldn't say anything.

The rest of the crew came out, Colder wasn't there, but General Organa was with them.
"Colder is advised to stay off his leg as much as possible until it's fully healed, he won't be able to join you on your mission, however, I guess you'll do just fine on your own" General Leia said with a kind smile as she showed them to the ship they were taking. It was a basic transport ship, minimal weapons, a room with bunk beds for taking shifts if they were flying overnight.
"I'll make sure the communication system on the old ship is fixed for when you get back" Leia says as they start to board the ship.
"That's kind of you General but Nia can be very possessive of her ship, I suspect she'd rather fix it herself when she's feeling up to it" Poe replies.
Leia nods with a light smile and watches as they get onto the ship.

On the ship Poe settled himself into the pilot's seat. He always piloted any ship he was on, it didn't matter who it belonged to, what ship it was or who else was on it. He was the pilot.
"You are not flying this ship" Kadcha said bitterly.
"Who else is going to fly the ship? You're a co-pilot, Nia always told me that Miyhale was a gunner" Poe replied as he started the ship up.
"You are not part of this team and this isn't your ship!" Kadcha spat back.
"It's not your ship either" Poe reminded him. "When we get my sister back, she's more than welcome to have this seat, 'till then it's mine. Either co-pilot or occupy yourself somewhere else."
