And here we have a Ben Solo doesn't turn to the Dark Side AU. Or Smuggler Ben Solo. I hate this chapter.
"Ben Solo, it's so nice of you to join us today."
"Yeah, well, I just wanted to drop by and see how you were doing," Ben bit out. "Although, I'm sure this visit would be much more pleasant if I weren't tied down."
Rey smirked and paced around him. "But if I didn't restrain you, you would just escape." Her eyes narrowed. "After all, you've done it before."
"Well sweetheart, you'd think that after three times, you'd learn that I'm quite hard to keep in one place."
The smirk on Rey's face disappeared, and she crouched in front of Ben. "I am quite tired of your useless chatter." Her head cocked to the side. "You know I can take whatever I want." She trailed her hand along his cheek. "Even from the most stubborn."
Ben met her eyes. "I'd love to see you try, princess."
Rey ripped her hand away from his face and stood, glaring at the man in front of her. "You are nothing," she spit out. "The Force is strong in you." She curled her hands into fists. "You would have been so powerful, a true warrior. Yet you chose to follow the path of that scoundrel you call a father." Rey leaned forward. "I know for a fact that Snoke was there with you as a child." She saw Ben tense, and she felt contempt. "Maybe he still is. The Supreme Leader offered you so much, but you refused. Why is that?"
"I didn't want power," Ben said through gritted teeth. "Becoming a Jedi or Sith meant nothing to me."
"You're a disgrace." She straightened her posture. "Truly pathetic." Rey lifted her arm. "I know you've seen the map to Skywalker. And you'll give it to me."
Ben tugged at his restraints. "Are you so sure about that?" He could feel the slight pressure in his mind, and he tried pushing against it.
"I'm certain," she calmly replied. "Oh, would you look at that. It seems our little smuggler is afraid... Afraid that he'll turn to the Dark Side and become exactly like Darth Vader." Ben stiffened at the name, and Rey felt a small smile tug at her lips.
Yet her satisfaction was short lived as she felt Ben push back against her until he was in her mind. "And you. You're afraid that you'll be alone," Ben panted. "That you'll be thrown away like garbage once Snoke has no use of you anymore."
Rey pulled back gasping. She couldn't breathe, she had to get out. Quickly turning around, Rey made her way to the exit.
"You can still do the right thing." She paused at the door. "I feel the conflict in you."
"You know nothing," she replied as she walked out the room, shutting the door behind her.
