AN:

Hi guys. I am still not the owner of Star Wars.

Ben

It's been a long time since I was in the Falcon, let alone flew it. I don't think I've flown it since I was taught. Having a copilot inexperienced with the ship certainly doesn't help. "What's the plan?"

"We fly low, it confuses their tracking. Once we get rid of those fighters, we're leaving the atmosphere and going to the Ileenium system. Once we arrive there, we can get you transportation back here." Tie shots ring around us as I try to avoid the sand dunes and wreckage from the fight between the Empire and Rebellion.

"Ileenium System?" She gapes.

"We've got a problem!" Finn yells at us.

"What now?" Shit.

"The gun is stuck in the forward position."

"Climb up, there's two guns." I make a sharp turn and BB8 whines.

"We need cover," Rey says. "Look, there."

I follow her finger to a downed Star Destroyer. "No."

"We need cover."

"There's no confirmation of making it out of there."

"We can't keep going like this."

"You'd be surprised what this ship is capable of." A feeling hits me in the chest. I sense someone.

Someone, I thought dead.

Poe! "Change of plans, we have another person to pick up."

"What?"

"Poe's alive." He's in the stupid Star Destroyer.

"How do you know?"

"Doesn't matter." Please don't push it.

"When we get out of this, you're going to answer all of my questions."

"Fine, but you got what you want, we're going in. Take control, I have to do something."

"How are we going to pick him up if we're still being chased by those fighters?"

"It may take a few passes, but we'll do it." It won't take a few passes. "Be careful, don't go too fast."

"That's easy." I can practically hear her eyes roll.

"I'll get Poe; you keep us alive." I go to the ramp and grab a rope. "Finn, there's going to be a man in the Star Destroyer, whatever you do, don't hurt him."

"What?"

"Don't hurt the man in the Star Destroyer, or you'll have Hell to pay." I tie one end of the rope around my waist and another end to the table. This should hold us. "Ramp opening!"

"What?" Finn and Rey yell at the same time. Ignoring them, I open the ramp and walk out.

"Poe!" My call echoes through the abandoned ship.

"Ben?"

"I'm coming." Giving the rope another tug, I jump out of the Falcon. I see him. I also hear him as he swears at me. Rey's going slow enough for me to grab Poe and pull him along with us. I'm sure under any other circumstances, this would look hilarious. Two people hanging out of a moving ship by a rope. However, there are still Tie-Fighters.

"You're crazy." Poe shakes his head.

"Hold on!" I yell and stick out a hand. I pull the Falcon towards myself, or rather pull myself towards the Falcon and end up hanging from the ramp. "Finn, get out here!"

The ex-stormtrooper runs out and pulls Poe up first, then myself. My chest heaves, and Poe looks ready to pass out. I shakily stand and hit the button to close the ramp. "You're insane."

"And you're alive because of it." I remind him. "Finn, we need you back at the guns. Poe, strap yourself in."

"Ben!" Rey yells.

"And who's that?" Poe heaves.

"I'll explain when we're safe," I promise before going back to the cockpit.

"You are the craziest man I have ever met, and there was a man on Jakku once who kept declaring himself to be the reincarnation of Luke Skywalker."

"Can't be a reincarnation of someone who isn't dead." I take back my pilot's seat and get us out of the Star Destroyer. Poe cheers Finn on as he shoots down the remaining fighters. "We're leaving the atmosphere!"

"I'm set!" Poe yells back. The Falcon jerks as we leave the planet. "Kriff!"

"We're almost out!" The poor Falcon hasn't gone through anything like this in a while.

-oOo-

Once we're out of Jakku's system, we all calm down. I place the ship on autopilot and we all meet in the galley. I don't trust the hyperdrive right now, I don't know of all the modifications made and would prefer to not be blasted to pieces. Finn is currently speaking very animatedly to the rest of us. "How did you survive? The fighter exploded!"

"I know, I woke up and it was night and you were gone and so was the ship. I managed to find that Star Destroyer and hunkered down in there."

"You're lucky," I mention.

"I assume you broke your mother's rule."

"I can't just shut it off." I wish I could.

"I know, but still you have to be careful." He's right. "I guess we should have some proper introductions. I'm Poe Dameron."

"The best pilot in the Resistance," I add. "I'm Ben Solo, a lieutenant general of the Resistance."

"Lieutenant general?" Finn gapes. "I'm technically FN-2187, Poe has decided to call me Finn."

"Rey, just Rey." Rey stares down at her feet before turning to me. "Solo? And…you keep calling this ship, your father's ship, the Falcon. This isn't the Millennium Falcon, is it?"

"Yes, it is."

"You're the son of Han Solo."

"The War Hero?" Finn asks.

"I am also the son of Princess Leia Skywalker Organa Solo, now General of the Resistance." If they recognized Dad from his time in the Rebellion, than they'll probably recognize Mom from it, too, rather than the Resistance now.

"You're a prince?" Rey gapes at me. "What is a prince doing on missions to Jakku?"

"No. My mother was the princess of Alderaan which was destroyed before I was born by the Death Star. I was on that mission because we were retrieving information vital to my family."

"What information did you get? Or is that still classified?" She crosses her arms.

"A map to my uncle, Luke Skywalker."

"Luke Skywalker? I thought he was a myth." Her arms fall back to her sides.

"No, he is far from a myth. You wanted to know why I can do so many things? Is my blood relation to the last Jedi enough of an answer?"

"So, you're not a Jedi?"

"My uncle went into hiding before my training was complete." The coward.

The ship lurches. I run to the cockpit to see red lights as we're swallowed by another ship. Oh kriff. I run to the galley and start raising the smuggling panels.

"Get in!"

"What's going on?" Poe asks, raising another one.

"We're gonna be boarded." I place BB8 in one of the holes before covering him up.

"Get in, Finn." Poe pulls the other man into the hole with him.

"Watch your heads." I slide the panel over them. Rey has already gotten into a third hole and is waiting for me. I fall in before grabbing the panel and pulling it over our heads. Now we have to wait.
