9/4/17 Edit: I have proofread this again, fixed some errors and added some stuff that I think will flow better. All published chapters have been edited. The next chapter is a little harder to write because I can't picture how the chapter will work. Normally, I imagine the chapters as TV episodes or movies in my head as I write. Sadly, nothing has come to me for chapter 5.

I know I should be working on Direct. I have hit a writer's block. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

This story is a product of my wonderful ability to take a "What if..." and create a whole new series of events. Enjoy!

I own nothing except my OCs.

What Am I Supposed To Do?

Month 0

Luke Pov

I hear the sound of the machine whirring to life around me, but it's too late. My mind goes blank as the carbonite freezes around me.


Month 0.5

The first thing I notice as my mind pulled me back to consciousness is the cold. I'm lying on something cold and the restraints on my wrists and ankles make me even colder.

Wait, restraints? Why am I in restraints?

I force my mind back to the last thing I remember before everything went dark. Cloud City. Han. Leia. Chewie. A fight with Vader. I don't see Han. Leia and Chewie are with stormtroopers. Stormtroopers! Leia and Chewie are captured too! Wake up! Wake up, Luke! You have to help them!

I slowly open my eyes. They're heavy and I wonder how long I'd been asleep. The sight that greets me is not a pleasant one. I'm on a table on of some sort surrounded by red and black. There's a door in the far wall. What's directly above me is what really makes my stomach drop. It's a machine. What it does, I haven't the faintest clue but I know it wasn't used for happy things.

I turn my head as the sound of the door opening reaches my ears. In walks the last person I expected to see; the Emperor himself followed closely by Vader.

"Welcome, young Skywalker," the Emperor says, "I have eagerly awaited your arrival."

I stay silent as I don't want to end up getting hurt for upsetting the Emperor.

Leia POV

Luke's been missing for two weeks now. The only person who could have any clues to his whereabouts is banned from his own city. Our only chance of finding the self-proclaimed Jedi is if he contacts us first.

Month 1

Luke POV

"That can't be true! It's impossible!"

How can he be my father! It's absurd! He's in that suit all the time, how could he have possibly done the deed that made me? And even if he is, why is he treating me like this?

"Search your feelings. You know it to be true," Vader tries to convince me.

What am I even supposed to do with this information?

Vader summons another droid to my side. The droid extends an arm and excruciating pain rockets through my body as thousands of volts are pumped into my leg. The pain stops and Vader again demands me to join him. He stalks out of the cell when I don't respond.

I've been stuck in this cell for almost a month now. The Emperor and Vader (Father, my mind corrects) want me to join their ranks. While I do want to pain to end, I also don't want to betray the Rebellion. They probably think I'm dead by now.

Wait, what if I accept their offer, and find ways to contact the Rebellion? I could give them secrets, troop movements, codes, and Imperial plans. I heard from Ben that it was not unheard of for a Jedi to go undercover. I could do the same for the Rebellion.

Yeah. Yeah, I can do that. I can spy for the Rebellion.
