Author's Note: Hello all! Welcome to another chapter and all that jazz! I'm like "high" off Star Wars right now so expect more chapters this week! Hooray! Also, I just wanted to kind-of clearup that this takes place roughly one year before The Force Awakens. Our favorite moody Kylo Ren still has some light in him, I know it. You know it, we all know it! (Except for him apparently). And, I plan in the next chapter to get more into Ashlyn's backstory. Slowly we'll unravel this ball of... plot? I don't know, I'll hush up now.
And of course...
Reviewers:

Remember to review! I love hearing from you! I wonder if this next chapter we can get 5 new reviews? I guess we'll see! Also! Thank you to all the new followers! It was really cool to get those "Follower Alert" emails this weekend!
Anyway, I'm rambling! Let's get this story going!
Disclaimer: I once had a dream where I owned Star Wars. But sadly... it as just that. A dream. I own nothing. I write this for fun.
Kylo Ren found himself easily annoyed by everything as of late. He blamed the girl. Even if she was indirectly the cause of any aggravation, he blamed her anyway. It had been a week since their encounter in the conference room. The dreams were still prominent every night, however, Ren was quick to make sure he'd never run into her. Granted, he was very curious about the new brick walled structure in the center of nothingness. He'd eventually see it himself in due time.
At times, Kylo Ren felt himself being pulled from the darkness and into the light. His training helped him stay within the dark confines of his grandfather's ways. However, there were times he found himself faltering to the other side. He hated those times. He also hated that his pull to the light was a nasty guilt trip over Ashlyn. He felt weak and stupid; angry and destructive. He also felt an urge to apologize.
In typical moody fashion, Kylo Ren wore his helmet for the entire meeting as Phasma went over the new plans for finding the sympathizers. Currently, one planet held true to the rumor. Phasma just needed permission to send her troops. Kylo Ren was quick to say he'd join. A few weeks away from this base would be all too welcomed in his mind.
Heading down to the launch bay to check on his ship's preparations, he was greeted by horrified expressions from the workers as they tried to stay out of his way. His robe billowing behind him with his giant steps as he headed for the black Upsilon in the center of the bay. Unfortunately, he was greeted by a flight attendant. "Sir." He said, saluting him. Ren said nothing in reply as the nervous man continued. "We are experiencing difficulties with the engine. Something has gone wrong with the cooling system and things are—" The man stopped as Kylo Ren's mask let out an airy, distorted sigh.
"Have you contacted maintenance?" He asked darkly.
"Not yet…" The man said quietly, awaiting a lightsaber to the chest that never came.
"Call for maintenance, ask for Ashlyn." He said as he walked to the ship. "She can fix it." The man nearly fell over as he quickly ran to the maintenance office to talk to Sid.
"He wants what now?" Sid asked incredulously.
"He asked for her." The man said, pointing at the angry red head.
Ashlyn stood her ground. "Tell him I said 'no'."
"You can't just tell him no!" The man panicked. "He'll cut us through with that light sword!"
"Then I'll tell him no!" Ashlyn yelled.
Sid sighed at the sight before him. "Listen, Ash. Just fix the damn ship. It won't take long and he probably won't even bother you."
"He specifically asked for me, that's grounds for bothering." Ashlyn added.
"Go fix the damn ship. If I send anyone else he'll probably kill them—" Sid said. "Or me!"
Grumbling to herself, Ashlyn hooked her tool kit to her belt and stormed out. She grumbled the entire way to the maintenance bay with obscenities that should have never been repeated in the language of Basic.
It was obvious that Kylo Ren was on the ship, none of the flight crew were near the black Upsilon. They avoided it like it were about to explode. Ashlyn almost wished it would as she stormed up the entrance ramp and onto the ship. She didn't see him at first and was almost a little too relieved. That was until he sulked from the darkest part of the ship and spoke. "I'm surprised you didn't send someone else."
Ashlyn jumped, causing Kylo Ren to smirk as she repositioned herself. "Didn't want you killing my group off until I showed up." She retorted. "Is the ship even broken?"
He nodded, adjusting his helmet tighter under his arm as he spoke. "The cooling system is shot, I had a look myself. It's an easy fix with the right tools."
"So someone else could have fixed it?"
"I asked for you." He reminded her dutifully. Ashlyn rolled her eyes as she headed towards the engine panel in the ship. She noticed the panel door had already been removed. He really had taken a look himself. Ignoring that little fact, she knelt down and began to check the system herself. "What are you trying to build in the dream?" He asked, leaning his back against the wall as Ashlyn moved around different parts of the engine.
"So you are still in the dreams." She confirmed. "I thought you finally figured out how to leave me alone."
"Again, you're in my dream. I've yet to figure out how to remove you." He said dryly. "Now what are you building?"
She pulled at a few cables. "A brick house to hide in. A place where you can't get into."
He snorted. "You think it'll work?"
"No clue, guess we'll find out." She grabbed another panel, this time disconnecting it from the cooling system and holding it up to Kylo Ren. "Make yourself useful."
He rolled his eyes and took the panel piece as Ash continued working. "You know I had to do that as a precaution right?" She hummed in reply. "We had to make sure you weren't loyal to the Jedi's or Resistance."
"You're the first Force user I've met." She said. "And again, you had an extensive file on me. I have no ties to anything. I'm neutral."
"Again, it was still my job." He reiterated with a snarky tone that caused Ash to sigh. "Who was the blond boy?" He asked carefully and still trying to keep his non-caring tone intact. "The one you tried so hard to hold onto?"
Ash pulled back the compressor, taking it out of the cooling system and cleaning it off. This thing hadn't been cleaned in months and was probably the issue. She took out her screwdriver and began to loosen the main hatch to see what needed adjusting. "My little brother." She said, detaching herself from all emotion as she fiddled with the inner workings of the system piece.
He could tell this wasn't going to end well. "What happened to him?"
Ashlyn inhaled deeply, as if ready to tell him. Then she decided against it as she reached her hand for the panel. "Why not just rip that from my head too?"
He narrowed his eyes as he handed the panel back to her. "I'd rather not have to."
"But you would." The staring contest began then, his dark eyes and her light ones. Neither one losing their stare as the tension built around them. Ashlyn broke the gaze first, looking away and returning to her work. She didn't want to be there any longer than she had to be.
"What if I promised never to do it again?" He offered.
Ashlyn scoffed. "Like choking me? We are going to begin a long list of things you'll promise never to do again." She said. "Why are you trying to get on my good side anyway?"
He rolled his eyes. "I'm not. However, having you not be mad at me will make it easier trying to figure out how you're able to enter my dreams."
"I still think they're my dreams." She said in a sing-song voice as she replaced the cooling piece.
"Regardless, I'd like to know why it's happening." Kylo Ren said as he looked down at Ashlyn. She had replaced most of what she had removed and sat back on her heels again. "It would be much easier with your help."
"Go turn the main systems on." She ordered, ignoring his request and demanding her own.
He snorted. "Yes ma'am." He said, amusement over her bossy tone as he headed for the front of the ship and to the main control panels. The engine started up with ease, this time there were no error messages. The cooling system had been fixed. Like he said, it was an easy fix.
Ashlyn didn't need to be told it was working, just the small hum from the cooling system in front of her confirmed it. She smiled to herself at her handy work and replaced the panel covering. Ashlyn stood up, brushing her pants off and turned to see Kylo Ren had returned to where he was before. "Can I go now?" She asked.
"Do we have a deal?" He replied.
"No." She stated simply as she headed for the exit ramp, leaving a smirking Kylo Ren behind.
Ash wandered into the maintenance bay, still a little grumpy from her latest encounter with Commander Ren. However, her mood lifted greatly when she heard her maintenance team in the main debriefing area. They were making quite the ruckus, Ashlyn couldn't help but be curious as she entered the debriefing room. They sat in a circle on the floor, glasses in their hands filled with what Ash could only assume was alcoholic. "What is going on?" She asked as the group cheered loudly over something she couldn't understand.
Sid waved her over; shuffling aside to let Ash kneel beside him. "Ever play Sabacc?" He asked.
Ash smiled. "The guys at home used to play Corellian Spike. I never did." She said as she watched Grim deal out the next hand of cards.
"Same concept except no dice." Sid explained. "You still need a Pure Sabacc hand to win."
"Positive or negative twenty-three, right?" Ash asked.
Sid nodded, showing her his hand. "Grab yourself some beer, its Gamorrean so it's kind-of heavy." Grinning, Ash reached over to grab a bottle of the Gamorrean beer and continued to watch the game as the maintenance team played. The rest of the group was focused on the game and how intense it was getting. Sid used this time to ask Ash the important questions. "How did it go?"
Ash took a sip of the very strong beer. "Not as bad as it could have been."
"Any reason he asked specifically for you?"
She thought for a moment. How could she answer this question without lying and yet not telling too much of what was going on? "Your guess is as good as mine." She wasn't exactly lying, right?
"And how about you?" He asked, genuinely caring about her wellbeing. "How are you doing? Everything going okay?"
Ash smiled slightly as she took another sip. "Yeah. It's different but, I'm okay with it. I like being useful."
"Well we like having you here." Sid admitted, beaming slightly. Ash figured he was slightly drunk. "Listen, I have some good news for you." Ash hummed in reply. "Your buddy, the Commander?" He began, causing Ash to grimace. "He's going on a mission with Captain Phasma and a few troopers. Won't be back for at least two weeks. You get a break from him."
Ash felt a wave of relief wash over her. "You're kidding."
"Nope, heard it today from the flight crew. He leaves in the morning; they're off on a mission somewhere. Won't be back for roughly two weeks. You're welcome." His face dropped when he realized he had lost Sabacc and Grim was now cheering. "Ah, damn!"
Ash joined in the laughter. Three whole weeks without Kylo Ren. She could finally get work done and maybe get a moment to relax. A girl could dream.
And she would…
Like Ashlyn had promised, the brick house in their dream world was there to hide her from his sight. It was more like four walls and a ceiling but, it got the job done. She began to make the finishing touches, more reinforcements to the side. There couldn't be any potential breeches if she wanted to successfully hide from Kylo Ren.
Ashlyn took a step back to see her handy work, smiling to herself as she admired the beautiful brick house before her. "How do you plan on getting in there?" He asked curiously, now standing next to the proud owner of the brick house.
"That's a secret." She admitted. "Club members only, can't get in without knowing the secret."
Kylo Ren grinned. "A secret that will spoil so easily." He said. "We seem to end up here at the same time, I'll eventually see it."
"Then I'll just have to keep perfecting it." She said, nervously rocking back and forth on her heels. "So you're leaving for two weeks?"
He pursed his lips. "Word travels fast."
"The flight crew needs to know your agenda."
He nodded. "I suppose you're excited not having to see me?"
She grinned a Cheshire grin. "You have no idea."
Ren returned the grin. "You'll still see me in your dreams." He reminded her.
She glared. "Thought they were your dreams." He chuckled. "Besides, if I had to choose being forced to see you in reality or here, I'd choose here every time."
He looked slightly perplexed. "And why is that?"
Ash gestured to the brick structure. "I have some control over what happens. I'm safe."
Kylo Ren rolled his eyes. "You're always safe."
She gave him a pointed look now. "Am I?"
"With a few exceptions." He simpered. Ash actually laughed. "Fine, have your free time away. When I return you and I are going to solve this dream issue."
"I'd rather not be willingly or forced to work with you." She admitted smugly.
"Then you're stuck with me." He said.
"I'll figure it out on my own." It was a promise. A promise she couldn't keep no matter how hard she tried.
Two weeks came and went since Kylo Ren had left and it seemed like as soon as he took off he was coming back to StarKiller. Ashlyn had found peace during that time, she didn't have to look over her shoulder as much. In fact, it was also her most productive weak. Another reactor went up smoothly, Ash took over the project with Sid's permission. The base was becoming more stable in those weeks, Ashlyn was super proud of that notion. Others, whom watched from a distance, were also pleased.
Another reason Ashlyn had found such peace came in the form of the dreams. Since the morning Kylo Ren left, Ashlyn didn't find herself in the middle of that same nothingness. In fact, her dreams were typical and ordinary. Maybe they had finally found a way to break whatever spell had been happening. It didn't matter, Ashlyn didn't focus too hard on it and soon after the first week, she had forgotten about it entirely.
Her first month was coming to a close, only five more to go before she was off this disgusting rock and back home. Back to safety and back home away from the menace known only as Kylo Ren.
In the afternoon, Ash quietly wandered into the cafeteria. A few Troopers sat eating their lunch, otherwise the room was practically empty. 'I should always come here around this time.' Ash thought to herself as she grabbed herself something quick to eat and sat down at an empty table far from the other inhabitants eating.
She wouldn't be alone for long, however. A voice to her left snapped her into attention, a familiar, smug voice. "Mind if I join you?"
Ash looked up to see the red haired General, a coy smile on his lips as he held a tray of his own. "By all means." Ash offered politely, although she really wanted the alone time. Unfortunately, when one pain in the ass was out of the way, another would soon take its place it would seem.
Hux nodded, taking a seat across from Ashlyn and placing his tray gently on the table. He didn't have much on the tray except for a few pieces of fruit. "I was hoping to track you down earlier this week, however we have both been very busy." Ash nodded, looking down at her tray of food then back at Hux. "How has your first month been? No more accidents, I hope."
"Nothing too horrific." She replied.
He nodded, pleased with the answer as he took a bite of fruit from his tray. "And are working conditions to your satisfaction?"
Ash raised one brow. "I'm not looking to terminate early, if that's what you're concerned about."
He smirked. "While that is good to hear, Ms. Novafall. I am just concerned that everything is up to standard." Something about Hux bothered Ashlyn, she wasn't exactly sure what it was. He had this demeanor that gave her the wrong impression at times. "You've been working hard, I see." He said. "Two reactors are fully functioning. Only a few more before the base is fully operational. Your work is not going unnoticed."
"I hope in a good way."
Hux chuckled. "I assure you, in the most positive way. The higher-ups are pleased."
That confused Ashlyn slightly. "I thought on this base you were the highest authority besides Commander Ren?"
Hux grimaced slightly. "Unfortunately, there are those even we must answer to." He admitted. "Besides, I'd like to think I rank higher than Kylo Ren."
Ash grinned. "I doubt he'd agree to that. He seems stubborn."
"You have no idea." Hux agreed willingly. "He has not bothered you since the incident, has he?"
Ash finally took a bite from her tray, feeling a little more relaxed around General Hux. "Honestly, it's hard to avoid someone who keeps breaking everything you need to fix."
Hux clicked his tongue to the roof of his mouth. "Ren has a bad habit of doing that. His temper will be his downfall, I'm sure." Ashlyn smiled, agreeing with the General before looking around at the cafeteria. She noticed the Troopers in the corner were looking in their direction. Hux looked too, the Troopers immediately snapped back to their group. "I suppose it's time for me to head back. This operation cannot proceed without its General."
Ash nodded. "I still have more work to do as well."
Hux removed himself from the table, taking his tray with him. "You are doing well here, Ashlyn. If you wish to extend your contract, please do not hesitate. We would love to have you." Ashlyn said nothing, a pit in her stomach forming as Hux excused himself from the cafeteria. The concept of staying any longer seemed like the worst idea anyone could have ever possibly have had. More time around that awful Kylo Ren? No thank you.
Kylo Ren had returned later in the afternoon. Their mission proving somewhat useful. While they did not find exactly what they were looking for, it lead to more clues to finding more sympathizers that could potentially have the answers he needed. Regardless, he had to tell Snoke everything that had happened on the mission. That was his first task after disembarking the black Upsilon.
He headed to the cave entrance, taking deep strides as he walked with purpose into the cavern where he stood before the large projection. Snoke had been waiting for him, like he always had. "Commander Ren." Snoke's breathy voice echoed within the cavern. "What news have you?"
Kylo Ren kept his mask on, his only protection around Snoke. "The sympathizers have been eliminated. They did not have the map to Skywalker, however—"
"So you have failed again." Snoke interrupted. "What a pity."
Kylo stood his ground. "Not exactly, Supreme Leader. We have information regarding other colonies of sympathizers. We plan to—"
Snoke interrupted again. "We are running out of time. If the Resistance gets word of our plans to find Skywalker, they will try and warn him and turn him to their side. An unnecessary problem I'd rather snuff out sooner than later. Until he is eradicated, this mission is a failure." Anger coursed through Kylo Ren. Once again he found himself being belittled by the Supreme Leader. The sense of failure flooding his mind. "See to it you do not fail anymore, Commander. Otherwise, we will need to take necessary measures to change that. Now go."
And now, the once somewhat confident Kylo Ren stormed out of the cavern. His anger rising as he stormed off to his apartment. He had to do something, anything. He needed answers and no one on his team was getting them. He had to come up with his own answers and his own way of finding Skywalker.
Kylo Ren entered his apartment and began pacing around the main area in hopes an idea would hit him in the head. Then, it hit him. No, it literally hit him. A light fixture had fallen in his apartment, causing quite the racket. Sure, he wasn't hurt as the fixture only hit shoulder. It still hurt his pride none the less(especially since he didn't sense it happening). However, before sending the fixture to its ultimate demise by lightsaber, Kylo Ren realized he knew a mechanic who could fix it. At least, he could annoy her and maybe improve his mood slightly. The girl who had invaded his dreams and then so simply disappeared when he had left.
After twenty minutes of arguing through Sid as he nervously spoke to the Commander through the commlink and Ashlyn in his office (which Kylo could also hear Ash's not-so-nice words), they finally convinced her to head to the 100's and to the Commander's apartment. Of course, this did not go down without multiple warnings from Sid before she left not to touch anything or cause any trouble. Ash rolled her eyes and grumbled as she carried a new lightbulb along with a ladder and begrudgingly went to Kylo Ren's apartment.
He answered the door with a winning grin, one that she wanted to hit him for. Instead she motioned to be let in. Kylo Ren moved to the side as Ashlyn entered the rather large apartment. The place was much larger than hers. This apartment had a couch, a fireplace, his large bed covered in (unsurprisingly) black sheets, and another doorway that lead to what Ashlyn assumed was the washroom. And good lord, that bookcase. Unlike her bookcase, his was actually filled with books. "Perks of being the commander." He noted her staring.
Ash rolled her eyes and wandered over to where the mess on the floor was. She looked up at the broken fixture and immediately could tell it was from a fault screw. "I'd say you did this on purpose but, it's actually broken."
"You think so little of me."
"You make it hard not to." She said with a smile before setting up the ladder under the light. Carefully she climbed the ladder, balancing the new lightbulb in one hand and steadying herself as she climbed. It wasn't too high of a climb but, it was enough to break a few bones if she fell. Ashlyn sat at the top step and began to work on the light as Kylo Ren stood idly by, watching her. "Don't you have Commander things to do?" She asked.
"I'm overseeing a subordinate over their work. What could be more of a Commander thing than that?" He retorted.
Ash placed the lightbulb gently on her lap as she reached up to the fixture and began replacing the broken parts that managed to malfunction. So much seemed to go wrong with this place, she really couldn't convince herself otherwise that it was actually Kylo Ren's fault. Though she'd think it anyway in spite of him. "So how does a Force user become a Commander in the First Order?" She asked, since he wasn't going anywhere any time soon. "Don't they hate Force users?"
"Different circumstances call for exceptions to rules." He said with disinterest as he wandered towards his bookcase. He tried to look somewhat busy and not stare at the girl as she worked. "How does a mechanic willingly come to work for the First Order? I assumed we had a bad reputation." He mimicked her question asking now.
She involuntarily smiled as she worked. "You do." She agreed. "Most of our mechanics were horrified when we heard the First Order wanted our help."
"Then why did you so willingly volunteer?" He questioned.
"I didn't." Ashlyn corrected him. "I was chosen, I guess would be the correct way to put it. My boss sent my resume and it was approved by the First Order. I'm assuming Sid looked at my skills and selected me."
Kylo nodded as he grabbed a book and wandered over to his couch. He plopped down onto the couch and haphazardly placed his feet up on the coffee table. He opened the book and began turning pages. No, he wasn't really interested in reading so much as he was just trying to look preoccupied and disinterested. "Are you sure it wasn't fate that brought you here? Divine intervention from the Force?" He asked dryly.
Ashlyn sighed. "Not this again." She said, and shifted on the ladder. Immediately as she did, the lightbulb began to roll off her lap and towards the floor. Panic rose in her body; that was the only lightbulb she brought and there it went. The seconds ticked by as Ash awaited the sound of the glass shattering yet, it never came. No, instead, the lightbulb seemed to stop in place merely inches from the floor. She turned and looked behind her to see Kylo Ren and his left hand raised. His eyes still on the book as he continued skimming the page he was on. Okay, Ash was mildly impressed. "Show off—" She mumbled, causing Ren to smirk as he waved his hand again. This time, the lightbulb began to float upwards and back within her reach. Ashlyn snatched the bulb the millisecond it came within reach and secured it properly on her lap once more. "So what else can you do?" He hummed musically in reply. "What other magic tricks do you know?"
"It's not a magic trick." He replied disgustedly. "It's the Force."
Ash rolled her eyes. "Fine, the Force." She corrected herself. "What else can you do besides invade people's personal thoughts and—" She paused thinking of a term. "Play catch, I guess?"
He snorted. "It's levitation, first of all." He corrected her once more. "I can do a many number of things with the Force. My training is not yet fully complete but, I am strong."
"Uh-huh." She said, feigning disinterest as she securely fastened the light now into the socket. She was almost done, which was more of a relieving thought. Although, this conversation with Kylo Ren wasn't as awful as it could have been. "And what about Force dreams?"
Kylo Ren peered over at Ash as she began to replace the casing for the light. "Why don't you tell me?"
"I'm not Force savvy, or whatever it is." She snapped.
"Force Sensitive—" He said.
"Whatever."
He snickered. "But yes, to answer your question, Force dreams are a power. I've had many Force dreams but, this is different."
"How so?" Ashlyn asked, now turning slightly to look at the Commander on the couch.
He looked at her, his one eyebrow quirked as he answered. "The people in my Force dreams are typically dead." Ash grimaced, causing Kylo Ren to chuckle darkly. "I assume you aren't dead."
"I should hope not." Ash said, turning around and placing her attention in the light fixture again. She replaced the cover panel over the light and began to replace the screws one by one. "So are you the only member in your family who can use the Force?"
He was silent for a moment; closing the book in front of him and tossing it to the side of the couch before removing his feet from the table. "My grandfather was a very powerful Force user." He stated before standing up from the couch now. "One of the greatest."
Ash nodded. "That's quite the reputation to live up to then."
"Sometimes." He agreed as he watched Ash lean to her far right, attempting to screw in the last screw. "You're going to fall."
She snapped. "Am not. I'm quite good at balancing."
"Why not get off the ladder and move it closer?" He asked with annoyance.
"That takes too much time." She said. "Besides, why not move me yourself, oh powerful one." She wasn't serious. However, he wasted no time in calling her bluff and immediately began to move the ladder. Panic immediately took over once again causing Ashlyn to flail at the sudden moving ladder and soon she found herself repeating what the lightbulb had done early and tumbled towards the ground. She expected the broken wrist or quite possibly a rib, she did not expect the floating a few inches from the floor.
"What happened to being good at balancing?" He mocked from behind.
"That does not include when someone moves a ladder with their mind." She explained hastily. "Now would you please let me down so I could finish."
"As you wish." Ren said with disinterest. With a wave of his hand, Ash crashed to the ground. Granted it was only a few inches, she'd live. However, she was still angry when she stood up and brushed off her pants.
"Fine, that screw isn't going to be tight then." She threatened. "Better hope it doesn't crash again."
He grinned wickedly. "I'll just call my favorite maintenance worker to fix it."
Surprisingly, Ashlyn smiled in reply. Yet the smile was not complete without the company of an eye roll as she sighed. "Anything you need or can I go?"
"Are we on better terms?" He asked.
Ash groaned as she walked over to the ladder. "Fine, only if it means you'll leave me alone now."
He changed his rule. "Only if you assist in removing you from my dreams."
"I thought we were passed that, I haven't had a dream like that since you left."
Kylo Ren thought for a moment. "I have a feeling it may have to do with the distance between us. We'll see if tonight makes a difference."
"If that's the case, maybe you should leave more and for longer periods of time." She teased. As quickly as she could, Ash collapsed the ladder and turned back to Kylo Ren. "Commander."
He smirked. "Ms. Novafall." And with that, Ashlyn left the Commander's apartment. Kylo Ren finding himself still nowhere near figuring out Ashlyn Novafall. However, he felt he was getting one step closer. He would soon prove once and for all that she was a Force user and then maybe, just maybe get to oversee her execution. He'd only be so lucky.
Final Thoughts: And the end of another chapter! Thanks for reading, guys. Remember to review!
