Wanda's sullen mood continued throughout the trip to the Resistance base. Finn had left the girl alone, aware that she needed her space.

On the way to the base, Wanda had too much time on her hands to think about everything that had gone wrong. First, she gets stranded in some different universe, separate from her Avengers team, then she meets new people, some of which she already lost in the process—she missed Poe more than she would like to admit—and now she had failed another acquaintance whom she had grown fond of just because she was too weak.

Wanda felt the ship land, and Finn walked over to the girl quietly. "Hey I'm gonna go and explore around. You wanna come?"

"No, I'm fine here for now, thank you. I'll be out there soon, though," she smiled at him sadly.

Finn left his eyes on Wanda for a little longer, wanting to say something more. He kept his mouth shut, though, nodding slowly to her response and making his way out of the ship.

Finn started a light jog, looking for Poe and his X-Wing amongst the multitudes of them. Finn felt a bump from behind his knees as BB-8 sped past him.

Finn's eyes followed BB-8's direction, and his eyes widened as he spotted Poe greeting the droid.

Finn sped up his pace. "Poe? Poe Dameron, you're alive?"

They engulfed each other in a hug, patting each other as Poe said, "Buddy! So are you!"

Finn pulled back from the hug, looking a Poe earnestly. "What happened to you?"

"I got thrown from the crash. I woke up at night. No you. No ship. No Wand—," Poe stopped himself. "Wanda. Where is she? Where's my girl?"

Finn smirked. Poe just called Wanda his girl.

"Why aren't you answering my question? Where is she? You're smirking. Why're you smirking," Poe's questions came quick and rushed.

Finn kept smirking, poking Poe's chest, "You just called Wanda 'your girl,' man."

Poe looked at Finn confused. "Yeah, so what. Now c'mon, where is she?"

"She should be in the ship, she wanted to stay a bit to think," Finn looked behind him still chuckling a bit from Poe. He spotted Wanda exiting the General's ship, head hung low; he pointed at her, "Yup, there she is."

Poe's face stretched as he smiled, seeing Wanda's face again. He saw her strained expression then, though. "What happened her?"

"I think she's blaming herself for Ren getting away with Rey," Finn looked at Poe sadly, thinking of Rey. But then he brightened his face, putting an arm around his shoulder and giving him a slight nudge. "Go talk to her, man."

Poe nodded, gaze not once leaving Wanda. "Was planning on it, give me a few."

Poe started walking towards Wanda, and Finn trailed behind slowly with BB-8.

BB-8 beeped, excited. Finn looked down at the droid. Finn smirked, "You think he's about to get some, bud?"

BB-8 just beeped back, rolling around enthusiastically, causing Finn to chuckle. "I think so too."

Wanda exited the ship in a slow manner, keeping her gaze trained on the ground. She didn't really feel like talking to anyone at the moment.

She lifted her head up slightly, though, as she heard foot steps approaching her.

She couldn't believe who she saw. Maybe her imagination was playing tricks on her she wasn't sure. Sometimes this happened with Pietro. He would show up in front of her, smiling at her as if he was actually there, actually still alive and with his sister.

Wanda shook her head, trying to rid the thoughts. She continued to walk ignoring the image of Poe running at her.

Poe scrunched his eyebrows together. He halted for a second, but continued his way to her. No, he was going to greet his girl. The one who could do crazy things with flashes of red lights coming from her hands. The one who ignited a flame within him.

"Wanda!" He yelled. He saw her stop again. "Wanda! It's me, Poe!"

Wanda looked over at him again, "No, no it can't be." By this point, Pietro's vague and short appearance in her imagination had vanished, but Poe seemed to be not going away any time soon.

"Poe?" Wanda asked, more of as a reassurance to herself. He kept running towards her, and her lips contorted into one of a lopsided smile. She started running at him too, "Poe!"

They crashed into each other, Poe's strength knocking Wanda back a bit, but he was there to catch her. He was there. She could feel him, his physical body. His very alive soul.

They pulled back from each other slightly. Wanda smiled placing her hands on the sides of his face. "You're alive. You're here. You're real."

"Hell yeah, I'm real, Princess," Poe smiled back.

The nickname passed over Wanda's head as she frowned, a serious look on her face. "How do I know you're real, that this isn't just some sick dream?"

Poe frowned, too. He understood where she was coming from. He contemplated his next decision. Well, he needed to prove it somehow. He placed his hands firmly on Wanda, one on her hip and the other behind her neck.

He brought their heads together, here goes nothing.

Their lips connected. Wanda stilled, but then was brought back to reality as she kissed Poe back.

Poe pulled away after a few moments, smirking down at a breathless Wanda.

"Is that good enough proof, Princess?" Poe had a big, fat smirk on that beautiful face of his.

Wanda scoffed, doing her best to keep a cool demeanor after the kiss which caused a heat to rise up to her cheeks. "I told you not to call me that."

"I know."

They just chuckled with each other, Poe resting his forehead on Wanda's.

They stared at each other for a few, before they heard a cough and a beep behind them.

"As much as I would like to see this play out," Finn started smugly, "we've got some business to attend to."

Wanda coughed, brushing herself off and Poe just stayed smirking proud of the flustered state he had put her in.

To say he wanted to continue what Wanda and him had going on in that moment in a more private area would be an understatement. He wanted to cherish the woman, spoil her. Get to know her more, converse with her, get to know her body more.

But he knew his part in the midst of being joined with the Resistance. So, he took Wanda's hand, heading to the meeting quarters with Finn and BB-8 following the couple.
