Prisoner
By: Sailormoon7771
Rey sat up in Bed she turned and looked at the clock, as it turned to the next hour, Ben slept soundly, "Ben." He opened his eyes, "you alright?" she shook her head, "I can't sleep." He sat up, "does your back hurt or something?" Rey shook her head, "for once no, that isn't the point." He tried to run his fingers through her hair she moved over, "Don't touch my hair right now." he smiled, "I thought you liked when I did that?" Rey yawned, "I do, but my hair isn't clean." He shrugged, "that doesn't bother me." He reached his hand towards her hair "Stop!" she raised her voice a little bit. "I'm sorry." He said calmly, "I hate this room." he grabbed her hand, "I'm sorry, why do you hate this room." Rey sighed, "I've been in here a week, I'm not allowed to move aside from the little bit of time I'm allowed, I can't take it." Ben smiled, "Do you want me to get you some pickles and ice cream?"
Rey looked at him, "Don't ever mention that dish again." He nodded, "Ok." Rey sniffled, "are you crying?" he sat up, and put his arm around her, "I'm supposed to protect my children." She rested her head on Ben's chest he rubbed her head, "Shh…you've done that." She shook her head "If that were true then why did this happen to us?" he shrugged, "Rey, you didn't cause it alright. It just happened bad things happen all the time, but that doesn't mean any one thing caused it." Rey continued to cry, Ben pulled the blanket on them wrapping it around her, and laid down, He rubbed her back, "I love you." He whispered as they drifted off to sleep.
The sun rose, Ben sat at the edge of the bed and stretched, Rey, slept soundly, "I'm sorry, this has been hard on you." He said quietly. Leia poked her head in the door, "are you decent?" she asked Ben quickly put his Robe on, "Mom." He whispered, "let's talk outside." Leia nodded, "good idea." Ben got up and followed Leia out in the hallway, "how's she doing?" Leia asked, "she can't move, so depressed." Leia smiled, "She can move she just can't get up." Ben nodded, "What did you need?" Leia pointed to the living area, "I need you to go to Jakku." Ben shrugged, "Why do I need to go to Jakku?" Leia led him over, "I've discovered that the shield has some weaknesses, and I need you to go there and buy a part that I need to fix it." Ben nodded, "I can do that, but what about Rey?" Leia smiled, "Poe and Finn will go with you. Luke and I will keep an eye on her." Ben nodded, "Let me get dressed, and well set off." Leia nodded, "Oh yeah don't give her pickles and ice cream anymore." Leia shrugged, "Why would I?"
Ben went back in the room and started getting dressed, Rey noticed the shuffling in the room and sat up, "Where are you going." He turned around, "I'm sorry, did I wake you up?" she shook her head, "No, where are you going?" she asked again, "Jakku." Rey smiled, "what for?" Ben put on his shirt, and started buttoning it up, "My mom needs us to buy a part of Unkar Plutt." Rey raised her eyebrows, "Good Luck with that one, a little tip, trading works well with him." Ben sat down on the Bed to put his boots on, "Be careful Ben, you're still just getting over your injury." Ben picked up his bag and put it on his shoulder, "Ben?" Rey questioned, "huh?" she smiled, "watch out for the sinking fields." Ben nodded, "See you later." Rey smiled, "What about my kiss?" He laughed, and walked over to her giving her a kiss, "I love you." Rey smiled, "Yeah you're alright." She said jokingly, "Hey" Ben laughed, "I love you too."
Ben walked out the door closing it behind him, "Hey?" a voice called from behind him? He turned around, "Uhh…Piper Right?" She smiled, "You know my name?" Ben laughed, "You're wearing a name tag." He walked around her, "right." She laughed nervously, "can you give this to Poe?" she handed him a folded up piece of paper, Ben shrugged, "why can't you give it to him?" Piper smiled, "because I really don't want to see him." Ben handed her the piece of paper back, "listen, I'm not a messenger boy, if you want him to have this then either you give it to him or find some other sucker to do it because I'm not going to get caught in the middle of this." Ben adjusted his bag on his shoulder, "Now if you'll excuse me I have a job to do." Piper stomped her foot and scowled walking away.
Ben walked through the door that led to the command building, "Mom, I'm ready." Poe and Finn were already in there, "Fantastic, everyone's ready!" Poe picked up his bag, "Ok, what are we getting." Leia smiled, "I have already given notice to Unkar Plutt, on exactly what I needed I told him you three would be there to retrieve it." Ben nodded, Leia handed him a pouch, "Here, this should cover it." Ben nodded, "We'll be on our way then." Leia nodded, "Be Careful. Keep your money in a safe place" Ben grabbed, Leia's arm, "Be careful around that Piper girl." Leia shrugged, "Why?" he shook his head, "Rey and I both feel something off with her." Leia nodded, "We'll keep an eye on her." Ben smiled, "until we find out for sure who she is, we assume the worst."
"Come on Ben!" Poe shouted from Ben's ship, "I'm coming." Ben turned around and walked outside boarding the ship, "Hey who's flying?" Poe asked Ben laughed, "You can if you want to." Poe's mouth dropped, "You mean I can fly your ship?" Ben nodded, "Yeah, if you want I can fly." Poe shook his head and sat down as quick as he could into the pilot's chair. "Finn you might want to go on the weapons over there." Poe ordered Finn nodded, "I will." Finn went over a few steps sitting at the weapon controls, Ben sat down in the co-pilot's seat, Poe entered the coordinates, and took off.
Ben bit his lip, "Poe, what do you know about Piper?" Poe shrugged, "I mean she's beautiful, and I want to get to know her why?" Ben shook his head, "Yeah you should do that." Poe turned, "What do you mean?" Ben shook his head, "You wouldn't believe me." Poe flipped a switch on the control panel, "Why not?" Ben closed his eyes, "I don't have enough proof it's just a feeling."
Rey sat up on the bed reading a book, she sighed as she made it to the bottom of the page, when she fumbled with the book, she screamed throwing it towards the door when Luke poked his head in he saw the book flying towards his face, "Ahh!" he knocked it out of the air using the force. "I'm so sorry, I had no idea you were coming in here, Master Luke." He nodded, "I figured as much, why'd you throw it didn't you like the ending or something?" Rey crossed her arms, "No I'm just frustrated." He walked in and sat in the chair beside the bed, "Rey, it is what it is, you want to have healthy children right?" she nodded, "Of course I do, but this room is just so boring I mean I've been looking at that wall for seven days, and I can't even take a shower!" Luke smiled, "Maybe Ben, can help you when he gets back, just don't use up your walking time." Rey rolled her eyes, "easier said than done, Could I use the force to." Luke cleared his throat, "No." she sighed, "I need to get out of this room." Luke laughed, "Are you hungry?" Rey nodded, "a little bit." Luke got up and walked to the door, "what do you want?" Rey shrugged, "I'll take a tuna sandwich or something." Luke opened the door, "I'll tell Leia."
The guys landed on Jakku, about 20 miles away from town, "I think we landed too far!" Finn shouted Ben turned around, "Don't worry, that's the plan." Finn sighed, "You obviously have never walked through this planet before." Ben shrugged, "Actually I have once." Poe nodded, "Me too." Ben and Poe walked ahead, and Poe walked behind them. Finn felt something press against his back, "Hold it!" the unknown voice called behind them. Ben and Poe started to turn around, "Don't turn around or I'll kill you!" Ben rolled his eyes, "Alright I won't turn around." Ben held his hand out force pulling the person in front of them. He covered his eyes, "No don't kill me." Ben's mouth dropped, "Hux?" his face was covered in facial hair, "What are you doing here?" Poe asked, "Snoke, exiled me." His voice was nearly unrecognizable. "Can you help me?" Ben shook his head, "No way, you're lying." Ben threw him on the ground, "Snoke doesn't exile people he just kills them." Hux looked angry, "Or, I was lucky enough to escape to this junkyard." Finn pulled out his lightsaber, "Go ahead, kill me I already wish I were dead." Ben shook his head, "don't do it, Finn, death is too good for him." Poe looked at him, "what are we going to do to him?" Ben smiled, "We will take him prisoner." Ben pulled a rope from his bag, "this is even a waste on you, but you will make very nice leverage." Poe laughed, "What if Snoke doesn't want him back?" Ben shrugged, "I guess he'll stay locked up the rest of his life.
Hux got up and tried to run, but Ben and Finn pulled him back with the force, "Nice try." Ben, Poe, and Finn tied Hux's hands behind his backs and pulled him to his feet. "Do you think it's safe for him to see what we're getting?" Ben thought for a minute, "No." Ben pulled a dark cloth from his bag and tied it around his head covering his eyes. "Now he won't, come on guys." They walked into town and looked around as the creatures walked past them. Hux fell on the ground, "Can you at least give me a drink?" Ben shrugged, "Go get him something to drink, I'll go get the part." Ben pointed to Unkar Plutt's stand Poe and Finn led Hux over to some water. "Excuse me." Plutt looked down, "What do you want?" Ben raised his eyebrows, "I'm here to pick up the part for General Leia." Plutt cleared his throat, "I'll be back."
After Rey ate she noticed, no one had come back for her empty dishes, "I could take a shower." She smiled, and slowly got out of her bed. "this could be harder than I thought." She said to herself as she opened the door someone walked by she hid behind the door in the shadows, "that was close." Rey grabbed her robe off the hook on the door, and made a break for the bathroom, finally making it she got in the shower, it felt good to feel the cool water run down her face. She got done and quickly got dressed, and went back to the room, "I can't believe I pulled it off!" "You almost did!" Luke said sitting on the chair, Rey looked up and smiled, "Master Luke." Luke got up, and picked Rey up, and put her on the bed, "Do you want to tell me what was in your head?" Rey shrugged, "I smelled bad." Luke sighed, "please don't tell Ben." He shook his head, "I won't but you can't do this anymore." Rey nodded. "I feel like a prisoner Master Luke, I just needed to do this one thing."
Ben waited for Plutt to return with the part when Poe and Finn walked up dragging Hux behind them, "Any luck?" Ben shook his head, "I've been waiting for 20 minutes. I know this guy is huge and slow, but I didn't realize he would take this long." Plutt came back, "I have the part here." He pulled the part out and showed it to Ben, Ben threw the pouch of money on the counter, "Thank you." Plutt handed him the box. They flew back, and went into Command, "Mom!" Ben ran up to Leia and kissed her on the cheek. "Welcome home." Leia looked as Poe and Finn dragged Hux in "Why is he here?" Leia asked, "He's our prisoner." Leia laughed, "Alright lock him up."
Piper walked into the command as she saw them drag General Hux off, "Who is that?" Leia smiled, "just a prisoner." Ben opened the heavy cell door, and Finn and Poe threw him in kicking him. "Have fun."
Ben walked into the room, Rey smiled, "You're home, I'd run and jump in your arms, but I can't." Ben ran over to the bed and kissed Rey, "I missed you, sweetheart." He smiled, "Did you take a shower?" Rey nodded, "Ben, I couldn't take it anymore I just needed one shower." Ben closed his eyes, "You really need to be careful." Rey took a deep breath, "I'm fully aware of how fragile my condition is right now Ben, I'm reminded every day." Ben sat down on the bed, "What can I do so you don't feel so bad?" she shook her head, "I don't think there's anything you can do."
Piper walked into the cell area, "Aren't you a sight for sore eyes." Hux looked up, "Piper?" he ran to the bars resting his face between them. "What are you waiting for?" she asked with an evil glare, "You're my wife." He responded, "Try ex-wife, Snoke is right you are truly a failure." Piper held her hand out force choking, Hux until he was about to lose conciseness. "Piper!" Leia called out from the end of the hallway, "baby, you've been touched by an angel." Hux sat on the floor clutching his throat. Piper walked up to Leia as a fake smile wiped across her face, "What can I do for you General?"
