Lupin looked back to the dead man he had cut down and felt dread flood his soul. Did he have to kill him? He disarmed him but went for the killing blow, he killed others students he littered their body's with lead. His hands trembled and his mind fought with itself weather the action was justified or not. He'd have to consult Skywalker for this and Fowler and Optimus. He walked away from the body to the office and stepped trough the shattered glass. He walked to where the P.a system was stored along with the security system. He saw the door was still shut and knocked. He heard a sharp gasp and the voice Serria sounded with shaking fear.

"Lupin, What did you do?"

Lupin let himself speak the truth.

"Yes, I haven't seen you much because of my latent talent. I used it to disarm him and killed him, I'm not even sure if it's even justified or not"

He said sounding unsure and unable to expect the fact he killed an unarmed man. He heard the lock click and the door opened. Serria looked shell shocked as she hugged him tightly. Lupin returned the hug and broke it and strode into the room. He reached the stacked VCRs and pressed the eject on all of them. Serria looked in shock and blurted out.

"What the hell are you doing that's gonna evidence for the investigation!"

Lupin didn't look back and pulled out the tape and ignited his lightsaber. Serria flinched as he tossed up the tapes and sliced each one in two. He closed down the blade and sighed.

"There will be no investigation into the shooter, he will be labeled as psychotic and that will be the end,"

He paused letting it sink in.

"You have two options and I want to think about it. You can accompany me to meet my teacher or You never speak of this and you separate yourself from me, it's your choice"

He finished completely giving up on altering her mind to change her decision to "no". It was her choice and he had no right, he was glad that he failed and needed much more training. She looked to see the look in his eyes, she interpreted it as "don't follow me down my path". She came to a decision a strong one.

"No, I've known you all my life and I'm not bailing now. I will not forget you and pretend we never met!"

Lupin was flattered, but yet terrified by the world she now was entering. He nodded and responded somewhat coldly.

"Alright, I'll get a ride"

He walked out leaving a sense of dread in the air. Serria watched him leave and felt that sense of dread seeping into her. She looked down to the tapes to see the magnetic tape slowly burning away. He really wants to protect me, She thought as she looked out into the destroyed office.

Lupin stood in a phone booth explaining the shit show to Fowler.

"I arrived to find dead body's. I told Vince to call 911 and l ran in and disarmed him and killed him. Serria my friend saw it on the surveillance cams"

He said with reluctance and grief for the dead.

"Shit, how you holding up?"

Fowler asked and Lupin replied.

"Not good, I gave her the option to forget everything but she refused because she cares. Could you please explain this to everyone before I get their, I I just don't feel good"

Fowler understood and said.

"Yeah I got ya just bring her here and I and Optimus will fill her in"

"Thanks I owe ya, may the force be with you"

He hung up and placed his hand over his face and screamed like hell. Why did she not refuse why!, He asked feeling this would lead to he couldn't recover from. Did Luke see this in his Vision?, He thought in doubt as a response came.

"No he didn't, he only you and the wars end"

Lupin looked up from his hands to see a old man in Jedi robes, the man was a translucent blue color. He had a warm feeling about him and had a few of Luke's Visual traits.

"Who are you?"

He asked feeling the old man through the force. The ghost smiled and replied.

"I'm Anakin skywalker Luke's father"

Lupin's jaw slacked as he felt he knew what he'd done.

"What you did saved lives Lupin, he was too far gone farther than me when I was the emperor's slave. trust in the force and it will guided you always"

He said before vanishing from sight making Lupin feel at ease with himself. The force will be with always, Anakin sounded in his head before fully leaving him alone. Lupin muttered feeling tears come down his cheeks.

"Thank you, thank you soo much"

He wiped the tears away and exited the booth. The force was his ally and he needed to trust to more. He needed it.

Serria was taken aback by everything and was extremely curious but yet cautious at the same time. Lupin stayed close to her about 5 or so feet. He kept stretched his mind out to see and feel the emotional and mental response to everything being said. He wanted to push himself in terms of his abilities. Chewie was on his right fixing one of 3po's servo motors. 3po was on Lupin's left waiting for the servo.

"Of all the days it had to give out. Any day now I feel I'll just fall apart"

3po Wined in misery as chewie growled at him to can it.

"How rude"

3po remarked and shuffled away towards the human hub area. Lupin muttered Chewie a "thank you" before turning his attention back to the conversation.

"It explains why we narrowly avoided that crash"

Serria remarked after Luke explained the force to her. Luke glanced at Lupin and saw he had his focus on the Force. He smiled in pride and continued.

"He's a born natural like my Father, He's got natural talent. We're all proud"

Lupin blushed as brushed it off saying.

"I'm just lucky and stubborn"

Luke cracked a thin smile and dismissed Lupin's tear down of himself. He'd soon learn to think of himself in a better light. Serria rubbed the back of her head in anxiety and weakly shook her head disagreeing with Lupin.

"Don't be soo down on yourself. It's gonna be bad for you"

He chuckled and nodded in agreement, he sensed her worry for him and felt good knowing he had friends to help him if needed. Han was chatting with Fowler and felt happiness and distinctive dread, he knew he was married and could guess he miss his wife and was toying with the idea of bringing earth into the new republic as the staging branch of this galaxy. Suddenly Lupin and Luke sensed a great pain from Arcee as a screamed flashed through their minds. Lupin stumbled and Chewie caught him by the arm, he thanked him feeling sick to his stomach. Luke took to immediate action and began used the force to set the ground bridge to its last coordinates, the coordinates deemed safe for her to take Jack. Jumping the rail after his master he ran with him into the breach.
