A/N Please reviewwwww. It keeps the chapters coming! Cheers!

Kylo sits calmly in his prison cell aboard the Dreadnaught and closes his eyes to first, check that Rey is still undiscovered in her hiding place and second, to feel around for Finn's location and status.

With a feeling of relief, Kylo touches Rey's mind again.

Finn is alive. I think he is in the cell next to mine.

Her relief is palpable even as she is prepares for a fight.

Good. As soon as the coast is clear, I'll be on my way to you.

Kylo goes on to give her directions to the prison level and then restlessly waits for the right time to act. Finally, Rey deems it the best time to sneak from her hiding place and Kylo tenses as he waits for Rey to open his cell door.

Expecting the sounds of blasters and fighting, Kylo furrows his brow at the sound of murmurs outside his cell before the door slides open and a stormtrooper enters.

Standing and narrowing his gaze at the trooper in front of him, he suddenly smiles down at her as he glances over her shoulder at the other trooper standing at the prison command station and, with a flick of his wrist, tosses him into a wall.

"You're too short for a stormtrooper."

Kylo says with a chuckle as Rey removes her helmet and grins up at him before turning back to run behind the command station and find Finn. Locating the right switch, Rey opens the door to his cell and Finn sticks his head out after a moment and smiles with relief when he sees Rey's face.

"We're here to rescue you, but we need to move. Now."

Rey says quickly before shoving her trooper helmet back on and taking up the rear as they make their way down the hallway towards the hangar. They meet no opposition until they reach the hangar door and then a squad of stormtroopers comes up from behind the corner, closing the door between them and cutting Rey off from Kylo and Finn.

Rey!

Kylo reaches out with his mind in alarm as he pounds on the door.

I'm fine. Get to the ship, I'll go around to the side door!

He tells Finn the new plan, but Finn still has to pull hard on Kylo's arm to get him away from the door and moving towards the shuttle.

A handful of stormtroopers fall in their wake as Kylo and Finn run up the shuttle ramp, starting the ship as fast as they can before tensely looking around for Rey.

They watch her emerge from the side door of the hangar, helmet off, and returning fire from behind her as she backs towards the ships.

LOOK OUT!

Kylo screams out loud and through the bond as Rey spins to find Hux and an entire squad of troopers between her and the shuttle.

Rey dekes sideways towards a Tie fighter as she screams back into Kylo's mind.

Go! I'll be right behind you!

Kylo stubbornly doesn't move until Rey is climbing into the fighter and then he lurches his shuttle off the deck and turns it towards empty space.

"Finn, I'm going to need the coordinates of the Rebel base."

Kylo says over his shoulder, as he confirms that Rey's fighter is right behind them, and Finn glances hesitantly at Kylo before resignedly telling him the coordinates.

We'll meet you at the Rebel base. Be careful.

See you soon, Ben.

Kylo engages the hyperdrive and the command shuttle streaks away.

Rey turns in her seat to engage the Tie fighter's hyperdrive as she watches the command shuttle disappear from view. She's suddenly thrown forward into the controls and Rey realises that she's been hit from behind just before the world goes black.

Rey comes awake in a familiar looking room as she tries to move but the restraints on the interrogation chair are clamped tight. Suddenly wide awake, she looks up in a panic and the blood dripping into her eyes from her forehead makes her squint.

General Hux steps forward and smiles sweetly at her.

"Welcome back."
