AN: In Loving Memory of Carrie Fisher. May the Force be with her. ;_;
The Falcon, X-wings, and Leia's shuttle all fly toward D'Qar, the location of the Resistance Base.
The Falcon lands and Rey rushes out the minute the door opens, Finn tries to follow her, "Rey! Rey!" She doesn't glance back once.
He's left standing in the middle of the bustling Resistance fighters when he sees the X-wing that belonged to the talented pilot he watched on Takodonna, said pilot is climbing out of his X-wing.
Finn feels something bump into his leg, he looks down to see BB-8 making a bee line toward the pilot.
The little droid stops a few feet away from the pilot and makes a few happy beeps. The pilot turns around and grins widely.
Poe Dameron.
"BB-8, my buddy!" he says, running over to said droid.
Finn stares at Poe, a look of disbelief on his face, he begins to walk over.
"Finn saved you? Where is he?" Poe looks over and sees Finn.
"Poe?" Finn asks, picking up his pace.
Poe stands up also, he can't help the grin that's formed on his face, "Oh no." he says, making his way over to Finn.
"Poe Dameron you're alive?"
"Buddy!" Poe says. They meet in the middle and bro hug "So are you!"
"What happened to you?" Finn asks.
"I got thrown from the crash. I woke up at night. No you. No ship. Nothing. BB-8 says you saved him." The little droid rolls up to them.
"No, no, no. It wasn't just me."
"You completed my mission Finn," Poe opens his mouth to continue but notices the jacket Finn is wearing, "That's my jacket."
Finn looks at the jacket and is about to take it off, but Poe stops him, "No, no, no. Keep it. It suits you."
Poe claps Finn on the shoulder, "You're a good man, Finn."
Finn is silent for a second before he grabs Poe's shoulder lightly, "Poe, I need your help."
Poe leads Finn down a staircase that leads underground, Finn looks at the Resistance fighters working quickly.
"General Organa." Poe and Finn stop in front of Leia, who turns to face them, "Sorry to interrupt." Poe points to Finn, "This is Finn, he needs to talk to you."
"And I need to talk to him. That was incredibly brave what you did. Renouncing the First Order, saving this man's life."
Finn cuts Leia off, "Thank you ma'am, but my friend, your son, was taken prisoner."
"Han told me about Ben…But when did he tell you Ben is our-"
"Rey told me on the way here." Finn looks at Leia with sympathy, "I'm sorry."
Poe jumps in, "Finn's familiar with the weapon that destroyed the Hosnian System, he worked on the base."
"We're desperate for anything you can tell us."
"That's where your son was taken. We've got to get there fast."
"And I will do everything I can to help, but first you need to tell us everything you know."
In the medical ward, Rey and Chewie are getting their wounds checked. Since Rey's wound was only a graze, hers is able to heal quicker.
The minute the medic gives Rey the okay, she's up and out the door, looking for Leia. On the way out, she hears Chewie is telling Kalonia about how he got his wound.
"That sounds very scary." Kalonia says calmly as she moves the device around Chewie's shoulder. He lets out a few growls.
"You must be so brave."
Chewie lets out a few "Yeah, I guess..." Sounding growls.
C-3PO takes the map from BB-8's compartment, "General, I regret to inform you," He inserts the map into a little slot, "But this map recovered from BB-8 is only partially complete."
The hologram of the map appears in the center of the table, "And even worse, it matches no charted system on record. We simply so not have enough information to locate Master Luke."
Rey closes her eyes and exhales through her nose angrily. Not only upset, but frustrated at hearing the same information about the map.
"I can't believe I was foolish enough to think I could find Luke and bring him home." Leia says, looking at the map.
'We were both foolish.' Rey thinks, leaning up against the table.
"Leia." Han says.
"Don't do that." Leia says, shaking her head and walking off.
"Do what?"
"Anything."
Han's eyes glance around before they land on 3PO, who says, "Princesses."
Han turns and walks after Leia, "I'm trying to be helpful."
Leia makes a small sarcastic laugh, "When did that ever help? And don't say the Death Star."
BB-8 rolls up to a figure that's hidden under a sheet, he opens a compartment and brings out a little arm.
He grabs the sheet and pulls back, revealing what...or who is under the sheet.
R2-D2.
BB-8 rolls closer and makes a few beeps and chirps, when R2 doesn't respond, he rolls closer and kind of bumps into him a few times, then makes a few more chirps.
"BB-8," It's 3PO, "You're wasting your time I'm afraid, it is very doubtful R2 would have the rest of the map in his backup data."
BB-8 makes a few questioning beeps.
"R2-D2 has been in low-power mode ever since Master Luke went away." BB-8 looks up at him, "Sadly, he may never be his old self again."
BB-8 looks at the ground a makes a few sad beeps.
"Listen to me, will you?" Han says, Leia looks at him.
"I know every time you..." He stops and looks around for a moment, "Every time you look at me you're reminded of them."
"You think I want to forget them?" Leia asks, slight disbelief in her voice, "Han I want them back."
"There's nothing more we could have done. One has too much Vader in him, and the other-"
Leia cuts him off, "That's why I wanted him to train with Luke. I just..." She sighs, "I never should have sent him away, that's when I lost him...That's when I lost all three of you."
Han is silent for a minute, "We lost both of our sons."
"No. It was Snoke. He seduced our son to the dark side, and...we had to leave Ben on Jakku for his own protection...But we can still save him...we can save both of them. Me. You. There's still light in him, I know it."
"Leia...Don't get me wrong I want to save him, I really do. But he didn't seem to care for anyone as he got older, the only person he seemed to genuinely care about was Ben."
"Then maybe Ben can save him. Maybe Ben is his light."
AN: Leia sure is determined to bring her son back. Such a strong, loving woman. She will be greatly missed. ;_;
