AN:Thank you so much for all for your support! You guys rock and make me write faster (and hopefully better)! I love writing this and updates will be as swift as possible until I can get to the sequel (which has my favourite parts! Finally Rey's POV)

AcrylicBrush: Thank you! I'm so honoured that you took your time to read the whole thing (especially since it has become so loooong) and comment. :) So glad you liked it! :D

UnknownSeven7: WOW! I'm speechless and crying of joy. Thank you, thank you. I'm so happy that all of my work is finally paying off and you are enjoying it as much as I am writing it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I so needed this, because in the past I have tried self publishing my own work and as with the publishing world, it is really harsh, unforgiving, it nearly made me give up on writing, plus my PTSD that came later on top my anxiety and depression. :S. But I write to heal (and to heal characters) and I'm so glad to hear it helps other people as well. I send all of my support to you and to everyone who needs it, for whatever has changed so dramatically for you. Three chapters (or at least two, are on it's way!)

I'm not exaggerating when I say, I literally put my soul (silly, dark/fluff and angsty) into this story. ;) Like many, I can relate so hard to Ben, even though I have wonderful family...no wait, he does too, they just have some issues (and in my fic, they will all be one happy family again! They just have to get through some pain, angst and silliness first :S). But even if though your family is wonderful, you can still be hurting inside. That's the tragedy of mental illness and other invisible things. It's hard for some people to understand and that's why I think Ben/Kylo's story is so important! Also my brother is autistic and can do "Kylo Ren like tantrums/meltdowns" when he is feeling very awful because of things not working out the way they should and his mind literally completely crashes like a computer (the only thing to do, is to get out of the way and allow him to break stuff and help him afterwards when he has calmed down a bit). So I'm super overprotective of Ben-Kylo. He represents so many, my dear brother included.

But, in this chapter Luke first does something, kind of wrong! To stop Kylo (because he is stupid? or has no idea how to stop Ben's darkside otherwise? It's a learning process :S) and then something RIGHT for Ben (because he is nice and really loves his nephew dearly! :D Though he messes up from time to time :S). What do you know, just like in canon (TLJ)...kind of. Except he didn't do any of those things! And wasn't that overly sappy afterwards (he should've been! he traumatised poor Ben)...

(SPOILER ALERT - "spoilers" for 9 - for those who do not want to know anything, not even about the casting - do not read the underlined text here below! Scroll past it!)

YEAH! Luke will be back to finish the Skywalker saga, either as flashback or a forceghost, my bet is on a cheeky forceghost. So, Luke, you better be nice to your nephew and bring him back to the light! (though to be fair, that was kind of what the Crait battle was all about - at least to help Ben get there half-way - help him get over the trauma plus getting his forgiveness). But I need more! Fricking hug your nephew! Ghost can be corporeal we saw that with Yoda in TLJ. ;) And we are also getting more with our Leia thanks to unused footage from both 7 and 8 and new stuff with unca Wanwo! So happy! Like I couldn't get more excited for 9! Can't wait! But until then, read and write fanfics...plus live life in general...;)

(Spoiler ends)

Yet another long chapter, so I had to divide into three (so the updates should be swift - they wary in size). We are finally going to get off that pain darkside train, albeit briefly! You will see in the next chapters. ;) Time for some fluff, fluff time (but not yet...) have to "finish" their stupid "battle" first. :S First pain and and then fluff!


Chapter thirty five - A forceful parental attention

"BEEEN!" shouted his uncle, like Ben was far, far away trapped in another world or working behind the enemy lines. When in reality he was right in front of him, destroying everything in sight.

"I'm not Ben. I'm Kylo," replied Little Kylo annoyed, that Luke kept getting his name wrong and to punish him extra for that, he sliced through the most valuable Jedi relics he could find. "VADER!" He yelled like he thought Vader was hiding inside Luke's stuff.

"Stop it! Stop it now! I will call your mom, I'm not joking," said Luke, who was getting lost in more despair as more of this things were being "murdered" by Little Kylo's crackling saber, who kept calling Vader.

"You wouldn't dare to disturb Ben's mom while she's in a meeting...again..." replied Little Kylo as he slashed one valuable book into little pieces and looked for Vader.

Luke's eyes followed each and every destruction with a furious look, as he contemplated his defence. "For this. Yes, I would, I think she would understand...no don't break that! BEN!" He turned to him, with such a fury in his eyes, that it was big wonder that he hadn't turned to the darkside yet.

"Oh, you've really done it now! You're in so much trouble! I'm calling her now!" Luke picked up the holographic viewer to threaten him with to behave, like it was an ignited saber. Except it wasn't, it all just a illusion so the threat did nothing to stop the rampaging Kylo doing more damage or looking for Vader.

"Do what you must stupid Jedi. I don't care...or...better yet..." Little Kylo stopped slashing away with his saber, turned towards him and clenched his small fist, until the holographic viewer exploded in Luke's hand.

"BEEEN!" Enraged, Luke dropped the broken pieces of the viewer on the floor. He rolled up his sleeve, so his metallic hand was clearly visible and showed his teeth, like a wild animal ready to pounce on his naughty nephew at the first opportunity.

"It's Kylo. Kylo Ren. You can't call for any help. You are trapped. It's useless to resist, Jedi!" said Little Kylo, in what should've been cold and dangerous voice, but didn't sound that threatening coming from a little boy, who wasn't even half Luke's size. "Vader is on my side!"

Maybe it was the name Vader and spoken of in that manner, that was crossing the line for his uncle or maybe Little Kylo had crossed it a long time ago. Luke clenched his fist in fury and his eyes held a dark look in them. Little Kylo even looked a little afraid of him and yet, just had to slash at one more thing, which did little to calm his uncle down.

"Okay, that's it! I've had it with you! No, more mister nice guy!" Quick as lighting, Luke lifted one hand up to force freeze him. Then he stormed over to his frozen and shocked form, turned off the ancient saber and put it safely away, before picking him up into his arms and carried him over to a chair, that somehow had been left out in all the destruction.

"What...how..aaah...!" When little Kylo woke up from his frozen state, he panicked when he saw Luke, had not only disarmed him, but was carrying him towards the naughty chair and he fought tooth and nail to get away, like it was an electric one. "Let me down! Let me down! STUPID JEDI! HELP ME VADER!"


Wow...uncle is so powerful...

KR: DON'T YOU DARE ADMIRE HIM! My Vader is million percent more powerful, than he ever could hope to be!

What about Snoke...?

KR: He's okay...except the fact that he might be able to blow up planets with his black kyper ring!

Might?

KR: I've never actually seen him do it...I just have to take his word for it...he's so powerful in the force...

Then, what's the point with the Starkiller base...?

KR: That's just for show. I doubt we'll ever use it, its powers are insignificant compared to the powers of the force.

Like the Deathstars...?

KR: They both got blown up by rebelscum...not their fault...is your uncle going to do what I think he is doing...?!

Looks that way...


"It's time...to end this naughtiness!" Luke sat down in the chair, put Little Kylo's struggling body over his knee and held him there firmly as he raised his hand in the air.

"NOOO!" screamed Little Kylo, like he was about to be chopped down with a saber or worse, Vader was being taken away from him. "VAAADEER!"


KR: Holy sith, that's childabuse!

Not at that time...and he already tried to kill me...and gave me fish oil. And you wrecked his office! You deserved this! Naughty Sith!

KR: You started it...and I'm not a Sith...

Oh...right...erm...do you really you think you are one to talk about child abuse? Doesn't the First Order kidnap and brainwash children to turn them into troopers?

KR: I have nothing to do with that! But, look at what your uncle is doing! And you call me evil! No wonder I hate that man!

Oh, yeah, as his darkside "mother," you wouldn't have done the same to him...given the chance?

KR: For not listening to his father and not joining the darkside...hmm...it might have crossed my mind...but, no I would only have given him a very harsh lecture...

Somehow I don't believe that...

KR: Where he is hanging over an abyss...with a space slug at the bottom...ready to eat him...

Okay, you are evil...what happened to you...?

KR: I died...and came back.

Oh...but Vader died too...but Rey...if she was him, is very...nice...or well mostly...I mean! She is wonderful!

KR: I died with great griefs...I felt my life being force drained out of me, the moment I was giving birth. Vader did not die that way...and I gave him my life as I died. Of course, I did that for him! That's not the problem...while Vader died, with the knowledge that he had saved our stupid son, but I on the other hand, had to watch everything I believed in (back then, my beliefs now have changed!) in being destroyed, but of course I always believed in Vader coming back (back then to the the light, now back from the dead and darkside again!)..can you spot the difference? How I died...and how my poor precious Vader died?

Oh...that...kind of makes sense...

KR: If only I had taken up on his offer, then our darkside children would be ruling the galaxy and everything would be at peace. No stupid senate, to ruin everything...I worked so hard for!

Would I exist...?

KR: How should I know? But no...at least not this version of you. Vader would never have allowed Leia to date a scoundrel...I wouldn't have approved of it either...not cool enough...

Who would you have approved of?

KR: Darkside Luke.

HER BROTHER?!

KR: Well, yeah. I wouldn't want the Vader blood to be polluted...

Vader...don't you mean Skywalker...?

KR: Nope, Vader would've been our new family name. How cool...and that is going to be our new family name...or Ren...no Vader is way cooler!

Creepy...


"Get out of my precious son!" Luke swatted Ben furiously, like he was possessed by a darkside monster that loved Vader.


Precious...? Son...?

KR: And you wonder why I burned his Academy down...?!

I can't believe he did this to you. This is too funny!

KR: Hey! It's still your body!

Ah...that's true...ouch...stupid uncle...!


"Uncle! It's, me Ben!" shouted Ben the moment Little Kylo switched places with him, since Kylo couldn't take the heat and the humiliation of that silly, cartoonish defeat, anymore.

As soon as Luke heard Ben's voice, he stopped exorcizing him in this way and lifted him up to his eye level. "Prove it." He stared hard and suspiciously into Ben's eyes, as if he was making sure this was indeed his Ben, but not this crazy Kylo he was dealing with earlier. Because if that were the case, he would fling him right back over his knee, until Kylo had gone into another galaxy...in another timeline...in another life...

Ben's mind scrambled to find something that didn't sound too Kylo-like, since he saw his uncle was far from convinced, that he had driven Kylo completely out. "I love you unca." Ben gave him his biggest smile and opened up his arms for a hug.

Ben had clearly chosen the right answer even though he hadn't spoken or acted that way, since he was a toddler, as his uncle cooed at him, despite all the damage he had done and embraced him tightly. "Aww, I love you too, son." Luke whispered into his hair.

Instantly, Ben pushed him away. "Son...I'm your mom!" He stared ahead, stunned by the choice of his own words.


KR: What the...

I was really tired!

KR: Obviously! I mean, I was his mom, not you.

But we are the one and the same...

KR: Nope.


"That's not how it works..." Luke's mouth twitched, like he was keeping great laughter in, even though they had been in "a kind of" serious fight over Ben's conflicted soul, barely minutes ago.

"I mean, you are not my mom!" corrected Ben, who blushed over being made fun of like that.

"I know that...I'm just her twin..." His uncle looked far too amused for Ben's liking.

"You know what I mean...you are not my dad!" shouted Ben, as if the those were worst words to say to his uncle, ever.

Luke's grin vanished and he looked unbelievably sad, like someone who had to life in a lie and hide on island somewhere. "I know...I am not the legendary...smuggler Han...Solo." He said the last part, bitterly for some reason. "But I'm a legendary Jedi master." He puffed his chest out with pride.

"You know what I mean!" yelled Ben, annoyed that his uncle had to make everything so difficult and bring the stupid Jedi into it, out of everything.

Luke's brows drew together in thin line. "I am neither your dad...or mom...but I am your surrogate father and master and you have to obey me. Now, why did you do this? You could've really hurt yourself," he scolded and pointed at all the broken things in the room, he could've cut himself on.

"You hurt me. You promised you would never hurt me...on purpose. You really hurt me..." Ben pouted and his uncle enveloped him in another big hug, to make all the hurt and pain go away.

"I'm sorry about that, but I saw no choice...I had to stop you. And I would rather hurt you, then seeing you dead..."


Wow...that's kind of sweet...in a weird way...

KR: Aww...so he does have such soft side...that Jedi fool.

So you are not going to kill him? Your...son?

KR: Don't call him that...I have my orders...

You disowned him...?

KR: For not joining the darkside, in a heartbeat. That will teach him...not to be a stupid Jedi!

I never thought I would say this...but poor uncle...

KR: What? I'm very strict. I don't tolerate disobedience. That's how the supreme leader raised me.

Ah...now I understand...why you are this way...today...

KR: What? What do you mean?

Nothing...


"I'm sorry..." said Ben, whose eyes were filling with tears over his uncle's sweet words, that felt like band-aid on his repeatedly broken heart.

"And I will do anything to get my Ben, back. Even die for him," said Luke as he tousled his hair.


KR: He can do that.

Hey!

KR: Hey, I died once for him. Equal trade you, know...though he just said die for you, not me...huh...and I'm his mom! Talking about slight against mothers!

You are so creepy, right now...wait, doesn't that mean my mom as well?! You want her to die...for you...? Because, you kind of died in childbirth...?

KR: Hmm...no, you can keep her.

Phew...

KR: Unless she stands in my way for domination of the galaxy...with Vader...

YOU LEAVE HER ALONE! My mom and Rey! I mean Rey is not Vader...you know what I mean!

(silence)

KR: (rambles) Vader also died for Luke...everyone dies for him, don't you think it's his turn already...? (pout)

Sigh...and why can I suddenly see descriptions of what you are doing...?!

KR: I haven't got a clue...this is your brain and you don't even know the rules in here!

I think we better get out of her quickly!

KR:...you don't say... (facepalm)

I mean, I have to get out of here...you life here...

KR: Hrmp...I don't like it here...at all... (pouts)


"You would...die for...? What...Ben?" Ben looked around the destroyed office as if he was looking for another person to show up, with the name Ben that his uncle cared so much about, that he was willing to risk everything for him. The one from Luke's dreamworld, the one with the perfect Ben.

Luke shook his head. "You, silly. I love you...my child." He flicked his forehead, like he was marking him as his own.

"You do...?" Ben rubbed the sore spot between his eyes.

"More than you can ever imagine," he lifted him up from his lap and rested his forehead against his, like he was little kitten.

Ben blushed over all the sappiness, but at the same time felt warm fill him inside that shooed away the cold darkness.

"You also promised me to stop destroying my things, though I care way more about you...than some dead objects," said Luke as he put him down and held him protectively, like he was afraid someone was trying to take his child away and he glared into the unknown.


Okay, uncle stop with that sappiness!

KR: Yeah...you are making me cry...

You can cry...?

KR: Of course I can cry, you fool! (cries)


"You do?" asked Ben, like it was the biggest news in the universe, as he took in the destruction of his office. Destroyed desk, books and normal shelves slashed and broken into pieces, all the Jedi relics were broken and shattered all over the cracked floor. The walls were broken, what seemed to be by a brute force or an earthquake. Even the sofa and the blanket, looked like they had been ripped into by an angry animal...with laser claws.

His uncle nodded to his question, like nothing else mattered but him. "Of course, you are the center of my galaxy." He kissed Ben on top of his head and hugged him closer.


STOOOOP!

KR: Are you feeling guilty...for what you did to his academy?

I...don't know...I'm so confused...I don't even remember what I did...or why I did it...

KR: I'm confused as well...I knew Luke could be sappy...but, sheesh...he must get that part from stupid Anakin...I was never that sentimental...oh wait...you are breaking my heart...shit...that was corny...no wonder Vader killed me!

Shut up, you are ruining the moment!

KR: Why do you want to watch such a sappy moment with your uncle?

I'm kind of imagining that he is my father...I mean...if dad were to take his place...I mean Rey!

KR: You have some BIG issues.

SAYS WHO?!


"These object can be replaced, but you can't be. So please take better care of yourself...for your sake and your family...for us...and for Rey," continued Luke in his voice, that could make the sun come up during the pitch black night or the one that could bring Vader from the darkside. Especially the Rey part, it filled Ben with indescribably warmth.


KR: Are you crying?

No, are you? (crying)

KR: Not telling... (crying)

Well, I'm not! (crying more)

KR: You are such a liar... (crying the most)


Tears streamed uncontrollably down Ben's cheek over his uncle's words, as guilt and pain washed over him, by hearing that someone loved him as dearly as that. It made his body tremble with shocks, like he was grieving something that could never be brought...or taken back...or fixed.

"I'm so sorry unca...but it wasn't me...it was Kylo...for real...he took over...it really happened...it was not like with the Falcon, this wasn't me...you have to believe me." Ben choked on his words, as he struggled to convince him of his innocence.

"Sush, sush calm down." His uncle had him lean on his shoulder and allowed him to cry. "You also promised me to always be yourself." He rubbed his back to help him get his crying under control.

"But...it just kind of happened...I don't know why...I'm scared, unca. Why did this happen? Was it darkside?" Ben sobbed and raised his head up, to meet his uncle's soft eyes. Like he could help him through everything.


KR: Yeah right... (snorts)

True, he didn't help me...in the long run... (depressed)


"Don't worry. We will figure it out...do you have any idea why he did this...?" said Luke with the voice of the one could do the impossible, like blowing up a Death Star with closed eyes.


KR: Because of the force. He couldn't have done it otherwise...stupid Jedi. Stupid force ghost Obi helped him. Vader would've killed him if not for stupid force ghost Obi.

Would you have wanted that...?

KR: No.

Oh...?

KR: I want to do it myself...for having Vader die for him...

Erm...sheesh, you guys need family therapy.

KR: Same to you. (starts to ramble again about Vader) but of course, that wouldn't have happened if Vader had killed him back then...erm...not sure...which would've been better actually...Vader probably wouldn't have wanted that...but he didn't even knew Luke was our son back then...

(Ben covers his ears so he doesn't have listen to more of Kylo's crazy ramblings about Vader.)

KR: Hey! I will remember that when you start prattling about Rey...

I thought she and him were one and the same...?

KR: Why you little... (turns on a saber inside his mind and starts slashing)

You better not do any damage to my brain!

KR: You mean more...?

(Ben and Kylo fight over the saber with tug of war of the force. It explodes and they are left with a destroyed one, in two halves. They jump on each other and fight with their fits, until they are both exhausted and call it a day, as they are still both trapped with each other and need one another..for now)

KR: I will...destroy you. (wheezing)

Yeah...yeah... (heavy breathing)


"Kylo hates the Jedi," said little Ben bitterly to his uncle's question and snuffled after his crying. He wasn't sure whether he fell into that "I Hate Jedi" category as well, since he hated the Jedi code with passion.

"Oh really, why?" asked Luke, even though he kind of knew that, with Kylo shouting that while destroying his office and he wiped Ben's tear-stricken face with a handkerchief from his pocket.


KR: I need...a reason? They...suck... (panting, out of breath after their physical fight)

I thought you were starting to like Luke...from a certain point of view...you were crying over him earlier...or well his...sweet words... (also panting)

KR: He has his...moments...if we would only join the darkside, then we could be one happy family.

Erm...darkside doesn't actually approve of family...

KR: Well, neither does the stupid lightside and the darkside is way cooler, thank you very much!

(Ben covers his ears again)

KR: How rude!


"He's a Vader worshipper." Ben grabbed his mouth in panic, when speaking that forbidden name and looked scared, like his uncle was going to pull out the hated fish oil, which technically should've been brought out sooner, as Kylo had shouted Vader nearly non stop. But Ben wasn't even sure if the medical bag had survived his tantrum/meltdown.

"Don't worry you can speak freely now. A Vader...but your are not...?" said his uncle softly and Ben sighed in relief, that he was allowed to talk about Vader without repercussions.

"Why would I be...? I never knew the guy...though I feel like I do...or at least...Anakin...Rey...but he looked a bit cool," said Ben innocently and smiled as he thought about his Rey.

"Cool? You know what he did to us, your family." Luke frowned at him like he was smiling because of how cool Vader was, but not Rey, but to Luke they were kind of one and the same. Something dangerous, that was messing with his nephew's mind. His uncle was also very unhappy, that he had chosen Vader as a rolemodel or someone to chase after, out of everyone in their famous family, but, of course Ben didn't even know Vader was family at that time, which made it even weirder for Luke. Where did that obsession come from? The darkside?

"Yeah, yeah you don't have to lecture me...again." Ben covered his ears as he had no longing to listen to that lecture again and had no idea what his uncle was really thinking about.


Then how come we know..?

KR: Don't overthink it. Just enjoy...the ride...

Hmm...


His uncle uncovered his ears, however not to scold him, but to get more information: "You kept asking to get stories about Vader...you even called him...yours? Was it because of this Kylo? And also this...Rey thing?"

"I don't know...but, no Rey is all me. She needs me." Ben smiled sadly, as he thought about her alone in the desert, without him...even though it hadn't happened yet.

Luke didn't comment on the Rey part. "You better get rid of Kylo. He's nothing but trouble. He's the reason you are here, right?"

"He is...?" said Ben.

Luke nodded and said in spooky voice. "He's your darkside..."

"My...I thought he was just some imaginary friend." Ben gawked, as if he his uncle was speaking about something he had only heard about in myths to scare little children.

"Maybe both."

"So that's why he could take over...and he likes Vader so much, because he's the darkside in me?" asked Ben and pointed at himself, as if he could pinpoint Kylo's exact location.

"Yes."

"But it's not like Vader was the only Sith. He only ever talks about him...says he has some special connection to him...like there some kind of a family. Weird huh...? Like he really loves Vader...I mean really loves...him..." Ben said conspiratorially.

"Don't listen to him," was the only thing Luke said to his conspiracy theory, though he looked a little creeped out, which was weird since it was his family love that saved Vader from the darkside. But, of course, Ben didn't know about that...at that time.

"I won't...I only love Rey and I still want to go home...and get her," said Ben and stared ahead, as he if was seeing her in the distance and declared with passion, words that lived with him for a long time for some reason:"Wait for me until I return. Thing will be different I promise." He blew a kiss and smiled stupidly at nothing, while his uncle looked seriously worried about him.


KR: You should've have listened to me! I knew there was connection! Always listen to me! I'm always right! That was my Vader's line, by the way...that promise to me...which he kept! By coming back as Rey...but I thought he would come back as darkside...oh well, Vader is just sleeping inside of her. Time to go and wake him/her up! Force awakens!

You are not doing that and no, you are not always right...but I have to admit...you were right about this...him, Vader being family...our family...

KR: Of course I was! :D

Seeing you smile, creeps me out a bit...

KR: :(

Fine you can smile...

KR: :)

Darth Padmé...

KR: XO Don't call me that! My name is Kylo REN! XO

I know...

KR: Or Padmé Vader... ;)

Huh?

KR: I was married to Vader! :D

Oh, boy...

KR: No, I was a girl. ;)

I'm not listening! (really creeped out by his "evil" grandmother's flirting)

KR:(outraged at her stupid, naughty grandson) I wasn't flirting!


"I know...but you can't go home yet. Not after this. We will try to reach your mom and dad again tomorrow, okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" His uncle checked Ben's head, like he had bumped it hard and gotten concussion, because while else would he be staring at nothing, blowing kisses and giving love confessions?

Under Luke's inspection, the memory of what he had done to him earlier (and Kylo), flashed back into Ben's mind and his anger returned, full force.

He jumped off his uncle's lap and pointed at him accusingly, like he was holding a saber. "I will tell mom you hit me!"

"You...? I thought it was Kylo," said Luke smugly.

"Erm..." Ben was cornered and lowered his accusing finger/saber.

"And what happened to your talking strike...?" pointed Luke out, with a wider and evil smirk and folded his arms, like villain who had trapped the hero.

"It hasn't officially started yet..." muttered Ben shamefully, that he had destroyed his defence that easily.

The grin changed into a sad and guilty expression. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you. Did it hurt...? Here, let me heal you." His uncle reached out for him, but Ben jumped away from him.

"I'm still telling her...and then she won't allow you to keep me anymore," said Ben darkly, like that was Luke's biggest fear, who stiffened like that was indeed the case.


KR: Keeping you? Are you a pet?

Kinda...


"Oh really...then I will just tell her what you...and Kylo did to my office!" Luke pointed at the completely destroyed desk before the door, which was only small part of the damage Ben/Kylo had done.

Ben inhaled sharply and backed away in fear and horror, as he really saw the full extend of the damage and realised all the trouble he would get into, for all the destruction he had done in such short span of time. "No, you can't do that! She will kill me!" He grabbed his head in pain and desperation. "But I still want my mom...and dad...I want them...I WANT THEM! I WANT REY!" He shouted as if his life depended on it.

"Okay, fine! I give up! Wait here." Luke stepped over the broken wood of the desk to get to the unbreakable door.

"Wait...?" said Ben with horror, as he hated that word with passion.

The door opened after one flick of Luke's finger, like it was the most easiest door in the galaxy to open. "There, don't move." He pointed at him sternly, to stay rooted on the spot. "I will be right back." The door closed behind him with a heavy thud.


What now? Is this one of those what if scenarios, in this case where he finally brings Rey to me...? I wouldn't hate that... :)

KR: No, this really happened.

Oh...that doesn't sound so good... :(

KR: So pessimistic...but you are both right...and wrong... ;)

?


Minutes felt like hours to Ben, who paced nervously, but carefully around the demolished room, despite his uncle command to not move. But, didn't he just mean, don't move from this room? But, he couldn't even if he wanted, he had tried to break out the room with disastrous consequences. Or did he mean, don't move or you might step on glass and cut yourself? Or was there something else...like he wouldn't be able to move? Be literally stuck there?

Ben hated waiting because that always made his mind go to dark places. What if his uncle had locked him inside that room and was never coming back? What if, this would be the real punishment for all he had done? Him, slowly losing his mind, trapped in that room forever, that couldn't even be destroyed with the force to break out (but you could destroy everything inside of it for some reason) and starve to death...oh wait, there was food inside that room...no it was inside the desk! For some reason though the fridge looked okay, must have been protected with a heavy force shield, which should've been put on other things as well. Weird priorities...But, nevertheless Ben hated feeling trapped...it made him feel claustrophobic...though this office had windows...maybe he could call for help...but did sound even reach outside...anymore..?

That dark room felt awful alike his mind, that had been broken beyond repair and was impossible to break out of, no matter how much he fought to get away...into the light...

"BEN ORGANA-SOLO!"

Ben jumped up at the sound of his unmistakable mother's voice, which drew him straight from his dark thought spiralling into something worse. "Mom...?!"

Just as his mind was about to give him a panic attack by being locked inside this room/mind, that made him feel so claustrophobic, his uncle opened that creepy door to step inside. He closed the door behind him, while shielding something in his hand.

"BEN SOLO!"

His mother called again to grab his attention, which made Ben jump of out of his skin, as he sure it was just her voice inside of his head. Especially since he didn't see her anywhere. He looked frantically around for her, not sure if he wanted to see her in person or not.

"Mom...?" he asked, as if he was afraid of the answer to be both yes or no. Yes, because he was in big trouble, no because he wanted to see her, badly and needed her so much.

"I'm right here," she said, when Luke uncovered what he held in his hand, which turned out to be holographic viewer.

Ben had excepted and kind of hoped and yet feared at the same time, to see his mother in own person right before his eyes and yet despite it being impossible for her to travel this far in such a short span of time, was greatly disappointed to see her only as a hologram. She stood on holographic viewer that his uncle clearly went to fetch from a storage for an awful long time or maybe they had first conversed through their mindlink to spare some time, so she could get right into scolding him. However, his mother as a hologram did not make her look any less scary, where she glowered at him with folded arms and held the expression that said, you are in so much trouble, young man! Like she was thinking of grounding him for life, for whatever he had done...


He really called mom?!

KR: You are so screwed...

Wait...if he could contact her so easily (in the mind I mean), wouldn't he just have done that when I really turned dark...? Into you, I mean and joined the First Order?

KR: Well...

What? No, he did not do that...

KR: Well...

I don't remember that...I would remember that!

KR: You don't seem to remember anything...

Maybe this was just a recording, like the one she send to me to apologising for lying about my heritage all these years...

KR: You mean lying about super awesome Vader?! X(

(Ben ignores him)

KR: XO (screams in frustration)

Such a baby...


Next up: Motherly and fatherly attention...
