Title: Breaking down the walls
Summery: Leia is frozen in carbonite and Han and Luke develop
feelings for each other as they search for her.
Disclaimer: Characters belong to Goerge Lucas
A/N: This is way AU and since I wondered if Han and Luke could hook
up why not Leia/Mara. This follows from the end of ESB, but Leia is frozen and is brought to the death star and Luke fights his father and then goes back to Dagohah.
A/N 2: Tarkin survived and Leia and Han are together for the first
part but it passes I promise. Plz not ROTJ happens right after the
prolouge so Luke knows Leia is his sister.
AN: 3 Palpatine is going insane and Mara is begining to rebel

A loud hissing noise filled the room, and steam rose, blocking Han
Solo's sight for a moment, despreatly he searched for his friends, he
could see Chewie being held by several stormtroopers with Threepio
tied to his back.
Leia wasn't there.
Han struggled against his bounds turning painfully to regard Vader
and Tarkin.
The latter was smiling, his skeleton face drawn into a spiteful smile.
"Where is she?" Han demanded, he was surprised at how calm his voice
came out because inside he was screaming for Luke.
"She will join us in a moment" Tarkin informed him pleasntly, his
voice grating on Han's skin.
He wasn't surprised as he was dragged by Darth Vader toward a
platform with a trapdoor carved into it.
He was facing death.
'Oh God Luke find us please find us'
But Tarkin raised a finger to stop the dark lord.
"Bring her in" he commanded, the steam parted and Boba Fett emerged
compleatly obscurred by his armour in front of him Princess Leia
marched her footsteps in military steps, she kept her head up facing
Vader and Tarkin down.
She had been stripped off her jumpsuit and was wearing a deep green
vest and combat trousers.
Tarkin faced Vader "Bring her"
Han couldn't belive it. He was even more surprised that sith was
hesitating.
Tarkin noted Vader's hesitently and his voice rose "Lord Vader. Bring
the prisoner forward"
Vader's grip on Han tightened and Han felt as if his arm was being
torn off.
The pain was released quickly and Vader marched forward, grabbing the
Princess's arm.
Leia stumbled once, twisting her leg painfully. Han winced for her
but she didn't cry out.
Vader left her standing on the platform, she made a remote figure
standing alone in the middle of the room, arms bound behind her.
That was enough for chewie.
With a roar the wookie lunged forward, trying to reach Leia but was
hindered by Fett's laser pistol.
"Chewie don't"
Leia's firm tone stopped the wookie. Chewie lumbered forward bringing
Leia into a bear hug. The princess whispered some words of comfort
and nodded to Han. The Wookie's face seemed surprised but he nodded.
Then Leia faced Han.
She smirked a little half smile then wrenched her arm free and
saluted him, she didn't complain as Fett rebound her. Han couldn't
put his finger on it but he felt Leia knew something he didn't.
It happened in slow motion for Han as Leia dropped.

"You alright kid?" Luke woke up to see Han staring at him, gently
tracing his brow with his finger absently.
Luke had recenently returned from his trip to Dagobah, he had come
back changed, older.
"They got Leia" Luke guessed, when Han nodded Luke felt something
inside him twist and tighten.
Luke sat up painfully, resting his head on Han's shoulder.
"Where did they take her"
Han shrugged
"Any Imperial starship. Tarkin's probably got her hanging on his
dining room wall."
Luke shivered, his hands running over the metal hand that replaced
his real one.
Han's cheast heaved. This was his fault.
He felt so bad, even when Leia was being frozen all he could think
about was Luke.
Now the Jedi's face was drawn.
Han suddenly realized Luke loved the princess. Han's heart felt as if
it were shattered.
He couldn't blame him. Leia was brave and loyal and beautiful.
He was a pirate.
But still he had hoped.
"You love her don't you" Han stated, not wanting to know but needing
closure.
Luke wasn't looking at him but at the far wall deep in thought.
"Of course"
Han nodded and began to get up. He needed to be alone.
"'Kay, I'm gonna make sure we got the hyperdrive up and running. I
still don't trust Lando"
Luke felt a presence in the force. Something was terribly wrong with
Han.
"Han?"
But Han had gone.
********************************************************************
Mara Jade stealthy made her way into one of the unused corridors of
the spinning death star.
For a long time she stared at the prone figure hanging on the wall.
This was the legendary Leia Organa.
Mara scowled.
Damn do gooder probably got what she deserved.
Mara had met Leia three years before, two months before Aldeeran had
been destroyed.
She had started to question the Emperors sanity and had started to
become a bounty Hunter.
Leia had been her pray. There had been many who would have liked to
have silenced the young senator from Aldeeran.
But she had not reliazed how smart her mark would have been in
escaping her clutches.
Mara stared a the carbonized figure, reliving every feature. Leia's
face was almost expressionless, even in suspended animation.
No doubt the rebels would be divising a plan to free her.
And that could be her ticket to escape the insane man's clutches for
good.
Mara could care less whether the Rebellion won, wouldn't care if the
Empire fell as long as she could be free.
Living the life she wanted.
She didn't want to be life bound to the Emperor any longer.
Mara crept away silently.
********************************************************************
Silence filled the Millenium Falcon, Han stared out of the window,
shaken by Luke's omission, Luke was still training in the hold, while
Chewie was trying to get through to the rest of the rebellion.
Han looked up as static filled the comn unit and Mon Mothma's voice
filtered over the instruments.
"General Solo, Commander Skywalker"
Han bristled for a moment but then reconised the emotion in the
woman's normally cool voice.
Word had gotten through about Leia then.
"I need you to land on cloud city again"
That woke Han up from his stupor over Luke.
"What?"
The womans' face remained impassively cool. "Lando has managed to
regain control of the city with some-help" there it was something in
her voice.
"Who?"
"Just land there Captain Solo"
The intermission collapsed.
Luke came out of the hold hearing the conversation.
"So cloud City?"
Han tried to focus. Luke wore only a guazy top that showed his newly
aquired muscles off to full advantage. The gold skin was lightly
brushed with sweat.
Han suddenly felt the oxygen in the room dissipate.
"To cloud city"
**********************************************************************
Han and Luke carefully emerged from the Falcon, each armed with
either blaster or lightsaber.
Han managed a smile as Lando Calrissian emerged but it faded as he
saw his companion.
He knew how Lando had regained Cloud city.
"Mara Jade"
"Han Solo"
The two faced off.
Han relented first.
"You know how to find the princess?"
Mara's green eyes bored into his. "Why I'm here.
