Distrust

Ben stood sweating in the training yard, the crickets were chirping throughout the resistance base, "Ben." The voice of Anakin called out, he turned around, "Grandfather?" Anakin laughed, "yes, You're worried about this new enemy correct?" Ben put the sword down, "Whoever she is she got both me and Rey down, how powerful is she?" Anakin, smiled "You, Rey and Luke are the key to bringing her down." Ben got a drink of water, "Are you saying we have to outnumber her in order to beat her?" Anakin shook his head and picked up the wooden sword spinning it around, "You play with each other's strengths, and weaknesses in order to get her down." Ben picked up another sword, and met it with Anakin's. Anakin went in for an attack Ben blocked, "Good, Ben." Ben disengaged, "She has force lightning, how can I compete with that?" Anakin shrugged, "Simple solution learn it." Ben laughed, "Easier said than done." Anakin walked over to his grandson, "You are a Skywalker, you have to do this, Luke can help you." With that Anakin disappeared as if he weren't there. Ben went back to training.
Rey was cooking dinner in their house, "Rey?" Finn walked, in as Hannah started crying, "Ouch!" Rey shouted as she felt the knife cut her finger, "Are you alright?" Rey nodded, "Yeah can you get Hannah." Finn's eyes widened, "Uhh." Rey smiled as she ran her hand under some cold water, "It's not hard just make sure you support her head." Finn carefully picked her up, his arms trembled as he held her, "Rey, I think she's hungry." Rey wrapped a bandage around her finger, "No I just fed her." Rey walked out of the kitchen, "Are you giving Uncle Finn a hard time?" Rey took Hannah from Finn, and put her on her shoulder, "see this is what she likes."
"Rey I have some bad news." Rey shrugged, "About?" Finn smiled, "Uh your brother." Rey didn't need to hear anymore, "he got married didn't he?" Finn slowly nodded, "Hold Hannah." She quickly put the baby back into Finn's arms, "Where are you going?" Rey turned around, "To find Piper and Poe and strangle them!" Finn, looked at her, "They're on their honeymoon." Rey cleared her throat. "Well I'm going to find Ben." Finn smiled, "Training Yard." Rey nodded, "I always know where he is." She walked out and shut the door, and to the training yard, "BEN!" she shouted, her voice echoed through the compound, Ben put the sword down, looking for Rey, she walked up to him as tears fell from her eyes.
Ben put his hands on Rey's cheeks, "Hey." He whispered softly, "What's up?" she sighed, "Poe married Piper." Ben's eyes softened "I'm sorry, how do you know?" she shook her head, "Finn, told me you know it was nice hearing something from my best friend, that my brother should have told me himself instead of just going off and." Rey picked up a sword, "It feels like everything is falling apart." She swung the sword forward, "Where's the kids?" she turned to Ben, "With Finn." Rey swung the sword harder, hitting a dummy in front of her, she felt Ben's hand on her shoulder, "There's something else I feel it." Rey shrugged "I just got the sudden feeling I wanted to kill Piper and Poe." Rey put the sword down, and sank to the floor, "I'm not a killer, I mean I feel like at any given moment I want to just snap at someone, and it's for no reason other than I'm annoyed with them." Ben sat down beside Rey, "how long have you felt like this?" Rey tucked her hair behind her ears, "since Starkiller base."
Ben put his arm around Rey's shoulders "You know the moment I got you on the ground, and I just hovered around you?" he nodded, "I wanted to kill you then, but I didn't to be honest I'm glad the ground split apart, I don't know what I would've done, if it didn't." Ben smiled, "remember what I said when you thought you killed Hux?" Rey shrugged, "I just tell you that at one point I wanted to kill you, and you bring that up?" Ben laughed, "I already knew you wanted to kill me; remember, and I think we're even in that department, during the battle I wanted to kill you at some point." Rey picked at the wood on the sword beside her, "why didn't you had plenty chances. Instead you offered to be my teacher." Ben kissed Rey, "because my love for you was stronger than the desire to kill you I couldn't bring myself to do it." Rey stood up, "Don't worry about your temper, It's normal you're gaining power and well you're not sure what to do with it yet." Ben wrapped his arms around Rey, "I love you." Rey smiled. "It'll all work out Rey."
That night, everyone had settled in for the night, and was sleeping everyone, but Rey who stared at the ceiling, she finally got up, and put her robe on making her way to General Hux's cell. "You!" she called out, "guess what girl, I got the steak without telling you anything." Rey started to hold her hand out to force push him, Hux cringed. "You're afraid?" Rey put her hand down, and sat down in front of the cell, "I didn't know you had children?" Hux relaxed as he realized she wasn't going to push him back. "you never asked." Rey smiled, "fair enough, what happened to their mother is she dead?" he shook his head, "She's very much alive." Rey stood up, "do you know who Rowana Shadow is?" he licked his lips, "Why don't you ask your husband he trained her." Rey hit the cell, "because he doesn't remember her. Nice try trying to tear us apart we tell each other everything."
Hux stood up, "You're such a powerful Jedi why don't you take it?" Rey shook her head, "I could do that, and I won't hesitate to do it, but I want to get answers the nice way." Hux rolled his eyes, "That's your problem you're too nice." "But I'm not." Ben's voice called from behind Rey, she turned around quickly, Ben opened the cell, and walked in. "Be careful." Rey called out, "Armitage, you do remember how I do this." Ben put his hand to his face, Hux grunted as he tried to resist Ben's power, "Ah, you have two daughters, huh?" Ben asked "Your wife is a Knight of Ren." Ben's eyes widened as he saw the face of Hux's wife, "Shit." Ben let Hux fall to the floor, "Rey go home now, I'm right behind you." Rey nodded, and walked out. Ben got out of the cell, and slammed it shut locking it.
Rey ran into the house and into the babies' room to check on them, "good you're still asleep." Ben burst through the door, and ran up the stairs, "Rey." He whispered, "our room." She nodded, and they went into the room, "What'd you see." Ben grabbed Rey's arm, "We need to go get Poe now." Rey scratched her head, "I agree, but why?" Ben led Rey to the bed, "Why are you doing this?" He shrugged, "It might be best if you're sitting for this, Piper is Rowana Shadow, and Hux's wife." Rey's eyes widened, "My brother is alone with her!"
Just then someone was knocking on the door, Ben opened the door "Mom?" she nodded, "I had a horrible feeling that you needed me." Rey ran down the stairs, "PIPER IS DEAD!" Leia looked confused, "What's going on?" Ben pulled Leia in, "Piper isn't with the resistance she's with the First Order she infiltrated us. She's a Knight of Ren." Leia pulled a piece of paper from her robe pocket, "Poe gave me this, It's a map to where he went in case we needed him, but I have a feeling he needs you." Rey put a bag across her shoulders, "I'm ready." Ben nodded, "Ben, Rey you can't go alone." Ben nodded, "We have to we don't have time to load everyone up in the falcon." Leia nodded, "I'll watch the children, and if you're not back by sunup I will send Luke and Finn." They nodded, and ran out to Ben's ship in the hanger. "Where is he?" Rey asked, "Coruscant" Rey sat in the co-pilot seat and entered the coordinates, "Ready?" Ben asked, Rey smiled, "If you're there then yes."
The black ship left the base and, made its way to Coruscant, "I can't believe it I mean I felt she was bad news, but I truly wish I was wrong." Ben put his hand on Rey's, "I know, but perhaps we can fix it." Rey shook her head, "Maybe, but Poe's heart will be broken." Ben smiled as they flew over the hustle and bustle of Coruscant, "Where to land?" Rey shrugged, "I don't know Ben, I wish I knew exactly where he was." Ben found a place to land, "Rey, take a deep breath." Rey nodded, "We'll find them."
Rey and Ben ran down the ramp and onto the busy streets and sidewalks of Coruscant, "Would you like to buy a Death stick?" someone asked, Rey looked at them disgusted, "Don't sell death sticks anymore." The alien threw the death sticks he had on the ground, "I don't want to sell death sticks." Rey smiled, "Go home and kiss your wife." The alien raised his eyebrows, "I don't have a wife." Rey shook her head, "Go get one then." The alien turned around, "I'm going to go get a wife." Ben started laughing really hard, "go get a wife then?" he grabbed Rey's hand, "Well, it worked." Ben pulled Rey's hand to his lips, and kissed it. "Yeah and you got those guys over there free death sticks." Rey looked over her shoulder to see creatures of every shape and size, getting handfuls of the sticks off the ground Rey laughed.
Ben and Rey walked past a very tall glass building "What a nice building what do you think Rey?" the voice of Obi-Wan called out, "BEN STOP!" she shouted, Ben looked up at the building, "You think he's there?" Rey shook her head, "I know he's there." Ben let go of Rey's hand, "Ready?" Rey nodded, "Ready!" They walked through the door and into some sort of lobby, Ben walked up to the front desk as an odd looking creature came out to greet them, "Excuse me is a Poe Dameron here?" the pink creature, punched some buttons in a computer, "Yes as a matter of fact." Rey ran over to the desk, "What room?" the creature jumped, "I'm sorry, this is a matter of my brother's life I'm begging you! The creature stood up, "He's in room 784b, the honeymoon suite." Rey and Ben nodded, "Don't call up there." Ben ordered, "It's protocol sir." Rey walked up to him, and looked him in the eyes, "You don't need to call." She said as she waved her hand, "I don't need to call." Rey kept her focus, "You will write down that you called, but you didn't." "I will write down I called." The creature sat back down, and did what he was told.
Ben smiled, "You're good at that." Rey smiled, "Should we take the elevator?" Rey shook her head, "No, they'll hear it." They ran to the bottom of the stairwell, "It's on the 7th floor." Rey started running up the stairs, "It's good for your butt, now come on."
