Chapter 2
Ok, so I know there is some more information on Poe's past, but I haven't read any of them so here's some completely incorrect information on him I guess. PyromaniacDragon13 has become my unofficial beta reader.
Across the galaxy on Yavin 4 lived Poe Dameron, a spice runner. Since he was a boy he'd been doing the same thing, and it always barely paid for his survival on the poor moon. His parents had left him a while ago for a "new opportunity on Coruscant." They always said that they'd be back, but he knew that would never really happen, and if he really cared to ever see them again, he'd have to go there himself. Never though, did he actually tell Zorii Bliss, his lover he actually considered such a thing. Poe loved Zorii and well, for the most part, she loved him. Zorii and Poe had first met when Poe "accidentally" saved her life from some people getting impatient about her keeping her part in a deal.
One day, an older man came by, a legend, Han Solo and Chewbacca. The old man seemed sad, something was definitely wrong, but it wasn't Poe's business to know why. That was until Poe was on a spice delivery later that day. Solo saw the look in Poe's eyes, and he knew that look better than anyone in the galaxy from his own son. It was the look of eagerness and hope, but pain, pain like his soul was torn apart between two rights, trying to decide which was wrong.
"Hey," Solo yelled in Poe's direction. Poe froze before slowly turning around to face the Legend of Han Solo. "Talk to me kid, what's tearing you apart?"
"I-uh well…" He stuttered.
Han smirked before saying, "Whatever it is kid, don't wait any longer, the longer you hold it in, the more you'll hate yourself."
Poe stood there a moment longer deep in thought before nodding and starting to walk away. But not a second later he turned around and said "Coruscant, when can you get me there?"
Solo thought for a second then replied, "I'd ask for a price but based on the looks of it you can't afford nothing, I do have one way to get you there though."
Before Poe knew it, he was squished between a bunch of cargo boxes on board the Millenium Falcon. He hadn't even had a chance to say bye to Zorii but knew that one day he'd be back for her, to take her away to a nice place where they'd live freely together.
A few hours later after being crammed in the back Poe finally heard Han yell that they
were finally there. Poe was excited as he climbed out of the Falcon, only to be incredibly confused when his eyes adjusted to the night there. This clearly was not the Coruscant that he had seen in ads and heard about, this was the bad part of town, he knew this likely wouldn't end well. After saying bye to Han Solo, he headed off, in search of his parents.
He pulled his hood over his head and looked down. Being one of few people out at that hour, he was afraid of what would happen, afterall he was just a lowly spice runner from a faraway moon nobody really cared for.
A few minutes later he tripped only to find a hand waiting to pull him up. This was a Jedi's hand, but what was a Jedi doing out so late at night over here? He looked up at the man.
"Hi, I'm Finn Culers, c'mon we have to get you out of here," the man said.
As Poe touched his hand, he felt a spark, something like he'd never felt before, he knew Finn was going to be a good friend from that moment, but never did he know how close friends they would one day be.
Thanks for reading! I couldn't decide on a last name for Finn so I just kinda went with the first thing that came to mind and Culers it was. I hope you enjoyed, and the storylines will meet up soon just so you know!
