"So, does anyone wanna tell me who the girl is and why she has powers like a damn Jedi?" Han Solo asked Finn and Rey harshly.
In the past twenty minutes, they had managed to escape from the gangs and the Rathtars, Wanda had used her powers to help out against the gangs, leading to her passing out from exhaustion, and Han had been educated on the map which was given to BB-8.
They were now traveling in light speed to their next stop: Takodana to visit Maz Kanata.
Rey looked to Finn for assurance, but didn't really get any, just a shrug from him.
"You don't think she is?" Rey questioned.
Wanda was still knocked out completely, unaware of the conversation going on about her.
Chewie decided he would watch over her, as he was injured at the time as well.
"Trust me, kid, I've been around long enough to know that when a Jedi uses their powers, read shit doesn't come from their hands," Solo said back, flinging his arms up in the air flippantly.
Rey just sighed, and Finn looked curious. "Then what do you think she could be?"
"I don't know. I've never seen anything like it." Han squinted his eyes at Finn, "She couldn't perhaps be affiliated with the First Order, could she?"
"No! I helped rescue her from their hold!" Finn replied quickly. "I don't even think they knew what she was."
Han just stayed silent. He needed some time to think about this whole situation. He was going to help the supposed fugitives, but he really wanted to know more about this "Wanda" girl.

Han, Rey, Finn, and BB-8 had entered Maz Kanata's castle, while Chewie stayed with Wanda on the ship.
Before leaving, Han had made the joke that the wookie had a crush on Wanda to which Chewie growled at.
Yes, Chewie did like Wanda, more than he would like to admit, but he also needed to work on the Falcon.
Wanda was still passed out, her body getting the rest it needed. She was in safe hands with the wookie. And as he worked on the ship, looking for any problems, he kept an eye on her.

Wanda awoke with a start as she heard the familiar sound of the TIE fighters. There were shots being fired outside of the Falcon, the sound of building structures collapsing on one another.
Chewie had left hastily, leaving a note for Wanda in a language which she could not read. It's the thought that counts, right? Wanda chuckled at her thought.
Wanda felt completely replenished, her body was satisfied with the rest it so greatly needed.
Hurriedly, she ran down the ramp of the Millennium Falcon. She came face-to-face with a scene of destruction. It reminded her of the Battle of Sokovia.
Her heart clenched at the thought. She couldn't let poor, innocent people die again, so she used that as her motivation to proper herself to the battle field.
Leveraging herself, she flew above the ground, spotting Chewie and flying herself towards him and the older man who's name she learned during the gang fight. Han Solo.
Wanda landed, standing in front of Han and Chewie, deflecting oncoming shots towards the two.
Han and Chewie exchanged glances with each other after Wanda had made her appearance known, Han shrugging at this.
Wanda looked to the left of her, hearing grunts from Finn. He was battling a storm-trooper who had just blasted him backwards.
Before the trooper could get any closer to Finn, Wanda flung him with her powers, knocking him out on one of the broken down parts of the castle. Han and Chewie followed her.
Their moment of freedom from attack was short-lived, however, as storm-troopers surrounded them.
The troopers forced the weapons from Finn, Han, and Chewie's hands, Wanda kept her hands above her head. With just a simple flick of her wrist she could take these troopers out alone.
Everyone's attentions, including the troopers, were brought above them, though, as X-Wings flew above.
"It's the Resistance," Han smiled proudly.
This gave Wanda enough time to start her attack on the troopers and TIE fighters, Finn, Han, and Chewie, getting their weapons back in the process.
Wanda started flinging troopers left and right, either knocking them out completely or using their own shots against them, killing them.
Wanda even took out a few TIE fighters, crashing them into what was left of the castle, obliterating them into pieces.
She used her arms and fingers, maneuvering them in a way that could put someone in a trance.
She moved swiftly and naturally, he movement second nature to her. No one would step in her way and no one could stop her in that moment.
This was her chance of revival. A new opportunity to prove herself and make up for Sokovia—for the ones she couldn't save.
As Wanda finished off what she could of the TIE fighters and troopers, she looked around and widened her eyes when she noticed Rey being carried unconscious by Kylo Ren into his ship.
Her breathing started picking up and she could hear Finn yelling "No," and running to his ship as if his life depended on it.
He was too far away and he couldn't make it in time.
Wanda needed to try and do something so she focused on Kylo's ship as it started it's departure.
Wanda grunted, she hadn't controlled something as big as this ship before and she started to struggle.
It was all too much, though. She couldn't control it, it was already too far up in the air and she was getting shot at by the remaining TIE fighters before they had flown off with Kylo.
Wanda dropped to her knees in defeat, disappointment filling her as she couldn't do anything more to help Rey.
"No, no, no, no, no..." Wanda trailed off whispering.
She had been doing so well and now it all felt like it was for nothing.
Finn spotted Wanda on her knees and ran over to her. He picked her up gently from her feet.
She held onto him, still looking off in the distance as her knees weakly kept her up. "I couldn't save her. I couldn't...I couldn't," she looked up at him.
"I know, I know," Finn repeated, to himself and to Wanda. "We'll get her back I promise, but for now we've gotta go, all right?"
Wanda slowly nodded, following Finn to catch up with Han and Chewie, plus BB-8 who was now with them.
A ship landed in front of them as they started walking, doors opening revealing an older woman accompanied by a robot the color of gold with one red arm.
Han and Chewie conversed with her, Finn and Wanda staying behind them.
The two were still stuck in a state of shock, feeling like there was more they could've done for Rey.
