Italic- thoughts.
*** - Mini breaks/time jump..
- Is when BB-8 beeps/talk :D
I think that's all haha.
Poe
Poe's face and head hurt like hell and-
He was seriously beginning to think that they weren't coming to get him, to help him. They probably didn't even know what has happened to Lor San Tekka and to the village just yet.
Wait...How long has he been here for? Minutes? Hours ? Or has it been days? Weeks?
Poe tried to move his arms but realized that he could not and moving his head became difficult to do so when the darkness started to close in around him.
His head hurt. Really hurt. His cranium felt practically violated. Jeez, his mind was being contaminated with pain and thinking is becoming difficult, so he really needs to stop doing so and try to stay awake. He needs to get out of here and get into contact with the Resistance with hopes they'll answer. But he can't. He'll have to help himself. He needs to get out and get off this blasted Star Destroyer - alive, if possible.
His vision started to get blurry as the darkness dragged him further and further.
So tired.
Gentle caresses of fingers sweep across his face and a voice so hauntingly familiar whispers,
"I'm sorry."
***
Now
Poe opened his eyes and found himself laid out on the grass outside. His brow furrowed and body tensed. A concerned beep brought him to sit up and turn his head to the side.
Poe?
Oh. Clothes, BB-8, General Organa, the mess hall, everyone, Finn, he recalled and felt himself relax, the tension vanishing.
"Sorry buddy, how long did I have my eyes shut for?" Poe asks.
Roughly five minutes.
Poe sighs. Glancing down at the grass, he rubs a hand on his face.
It had felt longer.
Maybe Poe could talk to General Organa? Your friends? Finn?
Pulling his hand away, chuckling, he looked back at BB-8.
"You're kind of repeating yourself from earlier on, buddy. But tomorrow I will." Maybe he will because he can't tell if he's telling the truth.
As the minutes pass, he let his mind wonder. He did want Rey and Luke Skywalker to come back but he was terrified. Conflicted, even. Luke Skywalker would bring back the memories of his childhood, his teenage years and adult years, especially the ones that he's successfully put away and hoping the other memories would soon follow.
Poe still felt exhausted. He couldn't wait to sleep; he hopes that he doesn't dream tonight. But knowing his luck, he most likely will.
Just dream of flying, he thought to himself but grimaced as thoughts began to build up to crashing and then leading to what happened on Jakku, being in the holding cell and when he first met Kylo Ren...
Poe felt something jolt within him and his eyes moved towards the sky. He stands up, still looking upwards as he holds his breath for a few seconds. Poe looks towards a crowd that was growing on the runway pavement and BB-8 makes a lot of exciting, happy beeps. Before Poe can ask, he hears people shouting and talking amongst themselves as he –
"They've entered orbit!"
"I wonder if Luke Skywalker-"
Poe starts to make his way towards them, BB-8 following.
"Poe!" Calls Finn's voice.
Startled, Poe stops, turns round and sees Finn, Snap, Jessika and a few others coming towards him.
"What's going on? The Millennium Falcon?" Poe looks at them, his eyes finally settling on Finn. Finn who's got the biggest smile on his face and Poe can't help but smile back even though he's feeling nervous.
"Come on, let's get to the front of the crowd" Jessika says.
They make their way to the front; once they are there, they have formed their own little group.
Slowly but surely the crowd began to grow louder and larger.
Be calm, be calm, Poe practically begs himself.
"Could Rey be on there?" Finn whispers beside him.
Poe looks at Finn, he notices Finn smiling but looking nervous and he smiles back. Grasping Finn's shoulder, he feels warmth spreading under his hand, "Yeah, I believe she will be, buddy."
They continue smiling at each other.
"Jeez, not again" Poe hears Jessika mutter under her breath.
That's when Poe and Finn became aware of everyone, within distance, staring at them . Poe hears some people laugh, BB-8 is beeping happily and Poe blushes, pulling away his hand and dropping it beside him.
I wonder how Finn feels-
Ignoring the thought, Poe redirects his eyes to everyone around him just as General Organa slowly makes her way through the crowd. She smiles at Poe when she walks by and comes to a stop a few yards in front of him. Poe ignores the set of eyes he feels on him and goes back to focusing his gaze at the sky.
That's when he hears it.
Then he sees it.
The Millennium Falcon.
Rey
Previously
You know that feeling you get when you lose something? When you forget something? When you miss some thing or somebody? That inner utmost panic or that stress building up within you with the thoughts swirling round your head?
Where have I put it?
Where did I have it last?
What is it?
Where is it?
I'm such an idiot.
Currently, that's how Rey felt. Rey felt like she was missing something, or at least, somebody. She felt like she had lost something, like a part of her, which deeply confused her. Rey tried her very best to focus, to listen to what Mast- Luke told and asked her to do but she just couldn't. She heard Luke sigh for the third time and she opened up one of her eyes to find him frowning.
"What's wrong?" Rey asks.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Mumbles Luke from where he sat beside her.
She opened her other eye, blinked and answers truthfully,
"I just feel like a part of me is lost and missing… or at least, I'm missing someone. Lost something."
Still sitting beside Luke and not getting up, Rey uncrossed her legs and looked out at the sea. Thoughts ran around her head. The silence lasted for a minute.
"Come on," Luke says , startling her out of her own thoughts.
Rey looked back in his direction and saw that he was standing up with an arm stretched out towards her, she grasped it and he helped her stand up. Rey felt so confused and worried and it must've become known to Luke.
"It's time to go back. I've been holding out here for a long time anyway and I feel as though they may need us now."
Rey's confused expression turned into a look of joy, she felt herself move before she could think properly because in less than 10 secondsshe hugged Luke.
She let him go quickly and mumbled feeling embarrassed, "Sorry."
Luke laughed and waved her off,
"Let's go then."
Now
Piloting the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca, heading off to the Resistance Base with Luke and R2-D2, made Rey feel excited yet worried. Once they reach D'Qar and land at the Resistance base there'll most likely be a celebration and some will think everything's fine but the First Order will find out and they might attack D'Qar.
Rey can't wait to be back at the Resistance base. She wants to see if Finn is finally awake and recovering well, she hopes that the feeling of being lost and missing something will go away once she's there and she can only hope and think that everyone is still well.
"We'll be just near D'Qar in a few minutes" Luke announces from where he stood.
Rey smiled and nodded.
"Leia will be happy to see you, they all will be ," She says.
"Your friends will be happy to see you too" Luke replies back and Rey could sense some nervousness coming from Luke which made her focus back onto the controls.
Just then she hit one of the buttons , which made them come out of hyperspace, and they came into a view of D'Qar. She heard R2-D2 beep happily in the back, Chewbacca calling happily and then, when she looked at Luke, he's staring at D'Qar and smiling sadly.
"Master Skywalker?" She asks politely.
He looked at her, "We best not delay everyone."
They continued to D'Qar.
Rey swore that once they entered D'Qar's atmosphere her mind started to feel a bit calmer . When she saw the base come into view her feelings of lost and missing had somewhat vanished. That's when she knew; whatever made her feel this way, something or someone is responsible.
Finn
Previously
The first time Finn wakes up and opens his eyes it's to the pain in his back , but before he can try to speak he's dragged back under. When he wakes up again, the pain in his back has become dull and he can't help but wonder where he is.
Where am I? What happened? Poe... Poe Dameron.
Poe's slouched in a chair, hair messy and sleeping with his hand in Finn's. Finn must've spoken his thought out loud because next thing he sees is Poe stirring and once Poe open s up his eyes, Finn feels an on set of emotions.
"Finn!" Poe says sitting up in the seat, hand still in Finn's.
"Hey," Finn smiles.
Poe removes his hand, runs it through his hair and Finn can't help himself but to track the movement.
"We're at the Resistance base in medical, you'll be fine in no time," smiles back Poe.
Poe's hand leaves his hair and Finn remembers. He remembers Starkiller base, Han Solo, Kylo Ren, Rey, fighting with Kylo Ren and the pain in his back.
Slight panic causes him to sit up in bed.
"Rey? Where's Rey?!"
"Woah" Poe holds up his hands. "She went to go get Luke Skywalker, possibly to be trained by him and to bring him back here but she'll be back."
I hope she's safe.
Finn nods slowly, "Sorry."
Poe chuckles, both laced with sadness and joy, and brings his hands down, "It's fine buddy."
In the next few minutes, Poe gives some water for Finn to drink and makes sure Finn is comfortable in his bed. A part of Finn felt like a burden but he was grateful, he really was. He wonders what will happen shortly once he's up on his feet and —
"You okay, Finn?"
Finn looks up at Poe who's standing up by the bed, a worried frown upon his face and Finn's heart plummets.
"I sure am. "
"Any pain?"
"Well, my back hurts a bi — "
That's when a medical droid and comes into the room and has a slight frown upon her face.
"Poe, you were to let me know when he woke up" She sighs.
Finn watches on in amusement as Poe shuffles on his feet.
"Sorry" Poe says , sheepishly .
sighs again, "I'm sorry to do this, Poe, but you're needed in the conference room."
Oh, Finn tries to ignore the sadness building in his chest.
"Alright. See you soon, Finn" Poe says , smiling at Finn.
Both still smiling at each other, momentarily ignoring the medical droid and whilst they had their *cough* moment.
"See you."
Then Poe leaves.
Sometime after Poe, and the medical droid have left; he's visited by General Organa. She's silent at first and there seems to be tension in the air but as soon as they get talking they both relax. They talk about Ha n Solo, Poe and Rey but the last topic seems to make Finn feel worried.
"You mustn't tell anyone about Ky — " General Organa paused, eyes full of pain still looked on at Finn. "Kylo Ren's identity.. Only a few know and Poe isn't one of them.."
So many questions he wanted to ask as he became aware that he was confused but he understood.
"I won't tell anyone, General," he says, truthfully.
General Organa gave him a slightly sad smile, "Thank you."
And with that, she left the medical room, leaving Finn to think and wonder.
The next couple of days go by well, better than anyone could expect. Finn is able to get up on his feet and properly walk without the use of help. He's visited a lot by Poe and BB-8. Poe introduces Finn to his friends, talks about his X-Wing and BB-8. Poe praises Finn for being a hero but Finn doesn't feel like one, he's not sure what being a hero feels like.
BUT...
By tomorrow, he should be definitely up and about; he'll be able to move around the base freely, he'll be able to go into the mess hall to eat and talk to everyone. He'll meet his new friends. He'll see BB-8 and Poe.
He sleeps with a smile upon his face that night.
Now
Finn can't explain how he felt when he saw Poe finally walk through those doors. He would explain that felt happy but there were other emotions at play, ones that he's never known or experienced before.
He talked and listened to everyone else but Poe wasn't speaking much, he seemed withdrawn and unfocused at times. That's when only notices how much worse Poe looks today. Not knowing what to do and say – especially in front of everyone else – Finn doesn't mention anything but he does notice familiar worrying looks on everyone's face.
"Hey guys, I'll be back in a bit. I'm just off out to get some fresh air" Poe announces with a tired grin.
"Alright man" Snap says, smiling.
As Finn and the others stare, Poe stands ups and makes his way out of the mess hall, leaving with BB-8 following behind him.
The conversation topic changes to Poe.
"Do you think he's fine?" Asks Jessika to Snap.
I hope he will be, Finn thinks.
"If he doesn't look any better tomorrow, we'll talk to him" Shrugs Snap.
Jessika sighs, "We'll most likely have to drag him down to medical in the morning,"
WHAT!?
Finn's previous concerns turn to immediate worry.
"Don't worry, Finn."
Finn looks at Jessika and sees her smiling tiredly at him.
"I'll try not to worry too much" He smiles back.
I'll continue to worry as much as I want.
He takes a sip of his drink and, looking down at it, he frowns at the bitter taste.
What was I drinking again?
Coughing dragged Finn's gaze upwards from his drink and he saw Jessika staring at him, smirking.
"So, what's going on between you—"
Somebody dashes into the mess hall, out of breath,
"The Millennium Falcon has just entered D'Qar's orbit!"
The warmth coming from Poe's hand brought some comfort to him and maybe, one day, he'll admit to Poe that he likes the look of the blush upon his face.
I wonder how Poe feels.
Poe is the one to break eye contact first and Finn feels sad about it. General Organa walks by and comes to a stop a few yards in front of Poe. He looks on the Falcon lands and the voices around them quieten down.
Finn gasps loudly as he watches Rey and Chewbacca come down the ramp, they are the first ones out. Finn felt relief when Rey's eyes and smile grew wide as she notices him and Poe. He felt sadness when she withdrew her gaze from them both and come to a stop beside the General.
She's only in front of me! Finn was annoyed at himself.
R2-D2 is next to leave the Falcon, the droid coming to a stop next to Chewbacca.
Silence.
A man in Jedi master robes walks down the ramp and off the Falcon. He came to a stop in front of General Organa and pulled down his hood.
"He's here."
"Luke Skywalker."
Luke Skywalker has finally arrived.
