"Poe!" Y/N called as she chased after him.

"No!" Poe just kept saying unable to believe that the girl was his sister.

"Poe, please." Y/N begged attempting to stop her brother.

"This isn't happening," Poe said as he started to head towards his x-wing.

"Stop!" Y/N screamed as she held out her hand and Poe suddenly came to a halt, no longer able to move.

Y/n eyes went wide as she quickly dropped her hand and Poe slowly turned around.

"Poe," Y/N started to apologize when Poe suddenly started sprinting at her dropping his helmet as he enveloped her in a giant hug.

"I thought," Poe said his voice cracking.

"Hey, its okay." Y/N soothed.

"But Leia she said..." Poe started when suddenly he pushed Y/N back looking at Leia and Connix who were standing in the doorway.

"Y/N, Poe, can I speak to you in my office," Leia said.

"6 years!" Poe screamed kicking a chair over. "You let me believe for six fucking years that my sister was dead."

"Language Commander Dameron." Leia sighed as Y/N sat squeezing her hands in between her thighs as she looked at the floor.

"Were you ever going to tell me!" Poe screamed tears in his eyes as he looked at the one person in the world he thought would never lie to him. "If she hadn't woken up, would you have told me."

"Commander Dameron, General Organa had a very good reason for not telling you." Connix started.

"I don't even want to start with you, Kaydel," Poe growled looking at the girl who for the last two years had slept in the same bed as him.

Y/N's head snapped up looking between her brother and Connix realizing that the two of them were a thing.

"You told me that Y/N had been killed, you said that your son had killed her. And then when I was on their ship, Kylo showed me what happened. I saw him run her through with his lightsaber." Poe stated turning towards Y/N.

"What?" She said as she stood up. "What do you mean?"

"When that fu..." Poe started but he saw Leia raise an eyebrow at him." "When Kylo was torturing me to tell him where the map to Luke Skywalker was, he kept showing me him hurting you and then killing you."

"Ben never hurt me, and what happened with the rocks was an accident. Everything that has happened is because of Snoke." Y/N said.

"Why are you defending him?" Poe asked seriously gripping his helmet tighter.

Suddenly one of the Resistance officers burst into the room.

"General Leia, the droid, the R2 unit, it's operational again." He said.

Quickly everyone started to head out into the main room. Y/N stood next to her brother and R2-D2 projected a map with a missing piece into the air.

Suddenly BB-8 started to beep intensely and somehow Poe understood what the droid meant.

"Yeah, all right buddy, hold on," Poe said as he ran and got the map, putting it into BB-8 who projecting it, connecting it with R2-D2's piece.

"Luke," Leia gasped and everyone around Y/N began cheering.

Y/N, however, could only hear Ben's voice in her head.

"He tried to kill me!" He screamed and once again Y/N found herself no longer at the Resistance base but instead on another First Order ship.

Kylo lay on a bed, medical droids working to fix him up. General Hux stood in the corner of the room annoyed.

How he wished the girl had finished off the arrogant fool. Kylo had done nothing to help the First Order, no matter how much Snoke insisted that he was going to be a new Vader.

"He should be fine sir." the droids said as they started to clear out of the room.

"Wonderful," Hux said begrudgingly.

As the room cleared out, it left only Y/N, Hux, and Kylo who still lay unconscious on the table.

"You failed once again, Ren," Hux said a smug smile on his face as he stormed out of the room.

"Ben," Y/N tried to say but once again she couldn't make a sound.

Sighing she knelt next to his bed moving one of his curls away from his face

Suddenly Ben's eyes snapped open grabbing Y/N's arm.

"How are you here." He asked his brown eyes glistening with tears.

Y/N opened her mouth but quickly shut it knowing he couldn't hear her anyway.

"I see," Ben said sitting up wincing as the pain of his side hit him. "I'm dreaming."

Y/N wished that Ben would open up his mind to her. He was so closed off. When they had first started to train, they had figured out how to connect their thoughts, so that when they weren't near each other they could still talk.

"So which nightmare is it today, the one where I kill you or the one where you call me a monster because I would rather have the latter," Ben said trying to act tough but then his back hunched forward and his shoulder began to shake as he softly cried.

Y/N could feel the pain surging through him. The 29-year-old man looked as broken as a child. His world was crumbling down around him.

Quickly Y/N went and kneeled in front of him placing her hands on his face.

"No," Ben snapped getting off the bed.

Y/N tried to think of a way to comfort him, but without being able to speak it was a little difficult.

She walked over to him so she was facing him. Then she grabbed his hand and placed it on her cheek holding his hand with both of hers.

"I killed him Y/N," Ben said his voice cracking as he looked at her. He noticed that she looked different. She had longer hair, and she looked older. Her brown eyes locked with his and he noticed an almost pleading look in them.

More tears fell as Ben leaned his forehead onto hers.

"This may be the cruelest nightmare of all." He cried wishing, praying, that somehow this could be real, that she could actually be alive.

His grief was becoming too strong and he could feel it. If he didn't do something soon he knew it would consume him.

Ben turned away wiping his face, letting the grief be replaced by rage once again, the only coping skill he knew.

"Why are you here?" Ben said fading away and letting Kylo take over as he grabbed his lightsaber.

"Ben, what are you doing?" Y/N mouthed.

"Get out of my head!" Kylo screamed as he lit his lightsaber.

"Ben don't!" Y/N screamed as she closed her eyes. Kylo then sliced his saber through her middle.

Y/N opened her eyes and found herself standing next to her brother once again.

"Ben!" Y/N gasped as she stumbled backward holding her stomach.

"Y/N," Poe said eyes wide as he looked at his sister. "What's wrong?"

"When do we fly out?" Y/N asked.

"What?" Poe asked.

"When do we evacuate, how long do we have." Y/N asked as she started to walk out.

"We leave tomorrow unless those bastards sneak attack us. Leia wants to see Rey off. We just talked about his, where were you?" Poe joked but Y/N wasn't smiling.

"The Finalizer." Y/N stated.

"The Fina... what! Where are you going?"

"I need a ship." She said. "Can I take yours?"

"Y/N," Poe called. "Y/N, Stop!" He said grabbing her arm and pulling her into a side room. "Will you sit still for one second. Now tell me what is going on."

Y/N sighed as she shut the door.

"I'm going to see Ben," She said facing the door.

"You're what!" Poe screamed.

"Poe, don't get mad." Y/N said turning back towards Poe.

"Oh, no, this is the perfect situation to stay calm!"

"Poe."

"Don't, Poe me, why the fuck would you want to go to him. Do you know what he has done."

"Snoke made him..." Y/N started.

"Don't start with that Snoke made him do it bullshit!" Poe screamed. "I didn't see Snoke holding Kylo's lightsaber when he killed all of those people, or when he killed Han. He was like a father to us Y/N how can you..."

"Poe, listen to me," Y/N started.

"No!" Poe screamed as he chucked his helmet across the room.

Y/N quickly brought her hand up stopping the helmet in mid-air. Slowly she brought it down setting it on the floor.

Poe ran to her taking her face in his hands.

"Listen, Y/N, I know you cared about him, but he is not Ben Solo anymore. Ben Solo is dead. That monster killed him. Just like he is going to kill you if you get anywhere near him."

"Ben is still in there I can feel it. I can't give up on him."

"Why are you so stubborn!" Poe screamed.

"Because I'm your sister!" Y/N screamed back.

Poe paused for a second before dropping his hands again.

"No, you aren't going, that's final," Poe said as he started to storm out of the room.

"Don't!" Y/N yelled as she held out her hand and threw Poe backward into a chair.

"Stop doing that!" Poe yelled.

"Then stop trying to walk away from me and listen."

"Y/N no matter what you say, I'm never going to let you go fly off just to get yourself killed."

"I love him, Poe."

Poe Dameron started at his sister. He sighed knowing that there was no way to stop her. She had made up her mind.

"I can't lose you again Y/N" Poe said standing up.

Y/N looked at her brother. She knew he was in pain, and shock and still trying to process everything. Y/N knew she wasn't helping.

"Poe," She said as she walked towards him. "I'm so sorry, I can't imagine what you have been through, and I can only imagine how confused you are. But the Resistance isn't going to stand a chance if we lose Ben to the dark side fully. He's fading and if I don't go after him he'll be gone.

"What about Snoke. He wants you dead, right, so how long do you think you will be on that ship before he kills you."

"I'll figure something out. Poe please, I have to do this."

Poe groaned tears in his eyes as he smirked.

"Well you are not taking my X-Wing, you won't make it anywhere close to the Finalizer without being blown outta space," Poe said causing Y/N to pull him into an embrace. "Just promise... god, the last time I made this promise I lost you."

"Then don't make me promise, we will see each other again, I know it." Y/N said tears in her eyes as well.

"I just have one thing, make me one small promise and then I will let you go."

Y/N let go of her brother and looked at his now tear-stained face.

"Promise me that when you bring Ben back, I can punch him in his stupid face," Poe said causing Y/N to laugh.

"I think that's more than fair." She laughed as Poe pulled her in for another long hug.

The two built the plan, how she would get in, and how she would find her way to Ben.

When it was finally time to evacuate, the plan was well set. Poe would be heading off with his fleet to take down a Dreadnought, while Y/N would board the transport ship and then leave through an escape pod.

"You know the odds of this actually working..." Poe started but Y/N quickly put her hand in front of his mouth.

"Never tell me the odds." Y/N smiled as she pulled her brother in for a hug.

"I still have a bad feeling about this." Poe teased.

"Oh, you hush up." Y/N laughed shoving him before she took a moment to really look at him. "You know something." She said ruffling his hair. "Mom would be so proud of the man you've become."

Poe could feel his eyes fill with tears again. Quickly he pulled Y/N in for another hug.

"Ok, we have to go or we are never going to leave." Y/N said wiping her eyes.

She quickly turned and started to walk away not able to say anything else.

"Hey Y/N!" Poe yelled and Y/N turned around. "May the Force be with you." He called causing Y/N to smile as she turned away and walked to the transport.
