A/N: Sorry that this one is late! School can be very stressful and unforgiving with its workload. Enjoy this belated update!


I woke with a start, and instantly felt a tightness around my arms and cool metal on my back. Looking down, I saw my arms and legs strapped against a strange metal rack. Wow, these restraints are a lot tighter than I expected. Just as I was starting to struggle against the restraints, I realized I wasn't alone

"Where am I?" I asked Kylo.

"On the Finalizer; you're my guest." He replied, sitting down in front of me.

"If I'm your guest, then I would hate to see what you do with the prisoners. Where are my friends?"

"You mean those thieving, lying traitors you call friends? You'll be relieved to know that I have no idea."

An incredibly strong anger surged through me when he said that, and I suddenly felt the desire to make him pay for everything he had done. For all of the innocent lives he had taken.

"You still want to kill me."

"That's what happens when you've watched a monster in a mask take innocent lives."

Kylo reached up towards the bottom of his mask, and pressed something that made the lower part of his mask lift up. Then, in one swift movement, he removed the mask whilst standing to his full height. Oh, dang. Bow-chica-bow-wow! I wasn't surprised at the fact that he was actually pretty good looking. He had a rather long face, pale skin, and beautiful chestnut eyes. Curse you, and your attractiveness! Kylo's eyes locked with mine as he slammed his mask onto a some type of ashtray. He looked at me with an emotion I could not recognise, but perhaps it was just him being cold and calculated.

"Tell me what you know about the droid."

"He's an orange and white BB unit astromech droid that has a masculine programming, and is equipped with liquid capable launchers, a welding torch, and a-"

"-A holoprojector, I know." He interjected. "I'm more interested in what's in its memory: the map to Luke Skywalker. You, somehow, managed to get the droid to trust you. You - a mere Resistance fighter."

"I used this really rare method called 'kindness'. You should try it sometime; it's pretty effective." I replied, fighting the smirk that was wedging itself onto my face.

"You're attempting to hide your fear with wit." Kylo stated, with a cold gaze in his eyes. "I'm impressed."

"No, you're not."

"You're right; I'm not. Now, tell me about the map to Skywalker."

"Do you expect me to answer that out of free will?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"No. I just wanted to give you the chance to answer me without needing to do any damage." He informed me, before walking closer to me.

"Mental or physical? Because, I've had my fair share of both in this messed up adventure."

"Whichever is needed."

With that, he raised his arm towards my head and began to probe through my mind. What I felt in the forest seemed like a mere headache compared to what I was experiencing now. It felt like all the neurons in my brain were being torn apart at the seams. I could feel him sifting through my memories, trying to find the one with the map in it. Unfortunately for him, I had it under lock and key in my head. That did not stop him from finding the fake memories I had of my life in this universe and exploiting them.

"You're lonely, ever so lonely. When you were a girl, people took advantage of you and were cruel. You had no parents; if you did, you don't know them. You lived on your own for many years, hoping that you'd be free from your torment one day. When people had been especially horrible to you, you let yourself drift into daydreams of fantasy. I see it- the masked balls." He taunted.

"Get out of my head." I grunted.

"You seem to idolize Han Solo; a terrible decision on your part. And- what's this?" Kylo paused. "Hm, interesting. You've made friends, but you now feel more alienated than ever. Mind telling me why?"

"Why don't you figure it out yourself?"

He suddenly left my mind, giving me relief from the pain. I gulped down oxygen as Kylo stood in front of me with a cold look in his eyes.

"Had enough yet?" He questioned.

"I won't give you anything." I breathed out, the smirk finally winning over my features.

"We'll see about that. Don't be afraid; I feel it, too. "

Kylo began to probe my mind once more. While I did feel the pain that came from it, I also felt a surge of strength that I could only identify as the Force. I started to push against his power with everything I had. His face started went from a look of concentration to a look of confusion as I started to make leaway into his own mind. After a few seconds, I had successfully gotten through his power and into his head. A wave of uncertainty and fear overwhelmed me as I entered his mind, and I could tell that he was genuinely surprised at my power.

"You- you're afraid...that you'll never be as strong as Darth Vader!" I cried out.

He pushed me out of his mind, and began to noticeably shake from what I had just done. The look of sheer realization was enough to make my smirk resurface.

"Didn't expect that, did you? Booyah!"

That said, Kylo quickly retrieved his helmet and rushed out of the room. My smirk went away after that, and the previous feeling of pity I had for him came back. Poor Ben. 'Poor Ben'?! Poor us! That fragging hurt! That doesn't matter now. What we need to do is figure out how to get out of here before he gets back. He left a Stormtrooper to stand guard, didn't he? I like the way you think! I felt the presence of the stormtrooper, and concentrated on him.

"You will release these restraints and leave with the door open." I told him.

"What?"

"You will release the restraints and leave with the door open."

The sound of armored boots hitting metal met my ear as the guard made his way over to me. I could feel his anger, as he moved around the rack and faced me.

"I'll tighten those restraints, rebel scum!"

"You will release these restraints and leave with the door open." I repeated, calming my voice and focusing on his mind.

Suddenly, his demeanor changed. He stood up straighter, and clearly had no free will in that moment.

"I will release the restraints and leave with the door open."

The stormtrooper pressed a button on the side of the rack, and the metal bonds lifted up from my arms and ankles. Then, he walked over to the door, opened it, and started to leave. Won't you need a weapon, in case you run into more stormtroopers? Yes, yes I will.

"And, you will drop your weapon!" I quickly cried out.

"And, I will drop my weapon." He repeated in a monotone voice.

A metallic clunk was heard afterwards, which alerted me that he had dropped his blaster. Smiling at my success, I jumped from my position on the rack and quietly ran over to the gun. I picked it up, and made it ready to fire. Now, let's get out of here.


Thanks for reading, and please review!
