The Action Of Holding Hands
Rey wasn't usually the clingy type, she had brought herself up to be independent and strict when it came to her emotions. That all changed when she met BB-8, who then led her to Finn, who was weary of and didn't allow to hold her hand until she trusted him. Without Finn and BB-8 she would have never left that deserted planet behind, she would have lived her life as a scavenger and she wouldn't have found the best people in her life; liker her Father before her, her friends will always be the best of her and she wouldn't change it for the world. If anything of that had not happened, if BB-8 had been trapped at the exact time she met him, then she wouldn't have found her brother and his best friend, two people that had known and loved Rey since she was born.
So yeah, Rey wasn't usually the clingy type, but that didn't mean that when she was finally reunited with her big brother, that didn't mean that she let go of his hand, it actual fact, she never wanted to ever let go. As they walked back towards the base, Rey's hand was tightly wrapped in Leopold's hand, their fingers interlocked and stuck together as one. Daisy was close behind with Poe, she had caught him up on what was going on, she couldn't help, but watch as they siblings held each other close, it warmed her heart, but at the same time it broke her soul - she knew this wouldn't last forever.
"So on your planet, you have powers?" Poe questioned Daisy, "Like a Jedi."
"Considering I've only just found out what a Jedi is, I don't know if my powers are similar, but yeah on my planet I control vibrations." Daisy answered, "They call us Inhumans."
"That's a bit rude," Poe started, "Inhuman makes you sound like you're not human anymore, it kind of rips your identity away, right?"
"I've never really liked it either, it's more of a tag and I wish it didn't exist, I kind of prefer human-with-advanced-abilities." She laughed brittlely, "But like on any planet, the government is corrupt."
"Inhumans was a much better name than they were first considering though," Fitz said turning his head, his sister studied him with a small smile on her face, "I had to stop them from using the name mutant."
"Hm, makes us sound like monsters," Daisy added, "If they want to tag me they can, but I'm still human."
"And you're still Daisy," Fitz's reassured her, he smiled at her and she smiled back, darting her eyes to the ground.
"I have a vague memory of your name being Skye," Rey shouted back.
"It used to be, but I felt like I had to change it to my birth name, to the name that suits my powers." Daisy answered, "I prefer Daisy anyway, it kinds of like you with Lola, I mean you look more like a Rey."
"Yeah it suits her and Daisy suits you,," Poe told her.
"Thanks." Daisy smiled.
"I haven't seen her smile in so long," Fitz muttered to Rey, when they were a few steps in front of Daisy and Poe, "Her boyfriend Lincoln, my friend, he died for us and it's taken a toll on her."
"Oh," Rey turned to look at Daisy, who was laughing at something Poe had said, she turned back, "She looks happy, but I guess any broken soul can seem like they world is at their feet."
"You say that like you know that feeling," Fitz stated, "Tell me Rey, is there someone you love like that?"
"Yeah, kind of, I don't know - we haven't know each other that long, but he saved my life and he made me feel something I hadn't felt in years," Rey froze, realising who she was speaking too.
"Felt what?" He questioned.
"...I felt wanted," Rey answered, her brother closed his eyes to stop emotion overwhelming him, "I was kidnapped by Kylo Ren, who the boy in question - Finn, he used to work for, see Finn was raised as a stormtrooper, a soldier with no name or feeling, but he had feeling and he fought his way out, he saved Poe's life and ran away, he became a hero - something history wouldn't take him as. Finn was running away from Kylo Ren when he met me, he did leave, but when I was taken, he did everything in his power to save me and he did." She explained, "So did Han Solo, kind of a legend around here, also Kylo Ren's Father, but you know….he died."
"I'm sorry Rey, that last thing I ever wanted as for you to not feel wanted," Fitz told her, "So this Finn, where is he now?"
"In a coma, he has been for a while now and they're not sure if he'll wake up." Rey wiped her eyes.
"You should speak to Jemma," Fitz sighed.
"Jemma? Oh, they one you love, I remember when I was little, Mum would always tell me how much she loved you two as a pair, Dad on the other hand, still thought you were too young for girls'." Rey told him, they both laughed at their Dad's Mum-like qualities, "You still love her?"
"Yes, we're together now," Fitz began, "A few years back, I was in a coma and I was half-dead basically, the human part of me died that day and the Time Lord part of me fought to keep it alive, so when I came through it, my brain was severely affected and I lost who I was. As I healed, after fainting spells and forgetting simple words, I came out on top. I am more confident now with everything, then I was before that accident, I only reason I truly healed was because of my parentage."
"And Jemma loved you all that time?" Rey asked.
"She loved me, yeah, but the coma took a toll of her and when I woke up without the ability to talk - then after I started working again, she saw the change and well…she left, but she came back and now, I love her." Fitz smiled, "I don't love many people, as I lose them all the time. I love Jemma, Daisy, Mum, Dad, you, Mack, Tripp, Lincoln, Bobby, Hunter, Coulson, May - all the people that mean something to me, but the truth is, I will lose everything single of them. Be it death, memory loss or differences, I lose everyone I love - I loved Ward once upon a time and he turned out to be evil."
"I know all of them, apart from Tripp and Ward…" Rey sighed, "Who were they?"
"Tripp was our friend, one of our best friends, he died trying to save Daisy," he explained, "And Ward was our friend, until we found out he was a sleeper and had been a villain the entire time."
"You should talk to Leia, she's Kylo Ren's Mother. He was born 'Ben,' and from what I've heard, he was a well behaved boy, but the darkness claimed him and now he's on the dark side of the force," Rey explained.
"Our lives are messed up," Fitz joked, he wiped the his eyes before tears had time to escape.
The sudden sound of rushed talking and gunshots, stopped all four of them in their tracks. Poe pulled out both his guns, handing on over to Fitz, "This is lethal…" Poe told him, "But trust me with the people we fight, you need lethal."
"All i have is an ICER, which isn't lethal!" Daisy exclaimed.
"Here," Fitz handed her the lethal gun and took her ICER, "I might have powers here, so you know I'm probably more well protected - Poe don't let her out of your sight."
"Got it," Poe nodded, "Come on Daisy," the girl stepped forwards kissing Fitz on the cheek.
"Stay safe, okay?" Daisy looked into her friend's eyes, they both nodded in unison; Poe grabbed Daisy's hand and they both ran off down a narrow pathway.
"Fitz?" Rey pulled on his hand, they both ran the opposite direction, they kept a firm grip on each other's hands, they knelt down behind a tree and some shrubbery, "That's Kylo Ren," she said pointing at the him, he was dressed completely in black, from head to toe.
Fitz pointed to the figure stood next to Kylo, "That's Missy." He told her, they looked at each other; they were about to go and fight, by any means necessary, but someone's large hands grabbed Rey from behind tearing her away from Leopold, he reached forward making sure his hand didn't slip from his grasp, but the man pulled until their fingers tore apart, "Rey!"
Fitz took a step forward and suddenly felt like he was choking again, he looked up to see Kylo Ren holding him in position, "Get off him, leave him alone!" Rey shouted, her hands were tied and she was now being held by Missy, she smiled evilly at Fitz, who shot her a sharp look, "Don't kill someone else I love!"
"It's okay," Leo muttered, "It's all gonna be fine."
And with that, he passed out.
