"Empress." "Empress." "Empress." I looked at no one as I marched to the headquarters of my ship. My husband would be arriving soon and everyone was only in my way.

"Empress. The Commander should be arriving any minute." General Hux stood in the bay.

"I'm well aware General." He stands at attention with the rest of the Admirals and guards as Kylo's ship enters the bay. "Everyone at your stations!" My voice boomed as everyone prepared for his arrival. The pod bay doors opened and the sound of his boots echoed. He marched past everybody straight to General Hux and I.

"There's a prisoner, take him to the interrogation room. I have business with my wife to attend to." Kylo left the room and I followed behind him to our quarters. "I wish you could have accompanied me."

"Me too, but I had to take care of all these neanderthals." He huffs at that statement as the doors open before us.

I take my mask off, as does he. "Finally." He sighs as he combs through his hair.

"Tell me about the mission." We undress into our underclothes as we climb in bed and he wraps an arm around me. I lay my head on his shoulder. "I heard we have a captive Republic Commander."

"We do. His name is Commander Dameron." Why did that name sound familiar? Dameron...

"Oh, and how did we catch him?" My voice wavered a little.

"None of your business darling. Just lay here with me. I don't want to talk today." He lifted me up to straddle his wide hips. A lump formed in my throat and my heart anxiously beat in my chest. "Come here."

He forced me to come down to him and his lips met mine. They were hungry, desperate, yet they were warm. "Kylo..."

"Shh." He hushed me and flipped us over, pinning my wrist with his large hands. "Be quiet."

"But-"

"What did I tell you Y/N." His face and tone are stern. I really wasn't in the mood tonight. I had dealt with so much already, all I wanted was sleep.

"Kylo, not tonight hun. I'm exhausted." I tried to scan for any sign of emotion from him. I may be married to the Commander, but I couldn't understand the man at all. He was a closed book and only he knew how he felt inside. His face was stone cold and he pushed himself off of me. "Kylo?" I didn't want to push, but I hated the silent treatment.

"I know you do but I don't want you here. Go to the cells and stay there tonight. General Hux will see to it you stay put. I want to be alone." And there's another fit. He reads my mind all the time, and it's frustrating. I spend more time in the cells than I do in my own bedroom.

(Poe's POV)

This. Sucks.

I can't believe I thought I could take on Kylo Ren. Now I have myself stuck on this ship in a cell with General Redhead staring at me. Rey and Finn will come find me. Hopefully.

One moment we were winning, Finn even wielded a saber. It was sick. After Finn dropped it, I tried to pick it up and battle Mr. Hissy Fits and he beat my ass. He pulverized me, which is the reason I have these handcuffs on. "Hey hugs."

"Hux."

"Can you take these off? I am in a cell, it's not like I'm going anywhere."

"No. Be quiet."

"Asshole."

"Watch-" As he was about to reprimand me for the crude comment a quiet knock came to the door. He rolled his eyes and opened it to reveal- no way.

"Hey Hux. He kicked me out again and told me to stay in here." I can't believe she was alive. I thought the Empire killed her?

"I'm sorry Empress. We have a prisoner here, but you're more than welcome to my quarters."

"Are you sure Hux? He isn't going to be upset I'm not here?" She looks like she's been crying. She was in long and loose red pants and a tight fitting matching shirt. She had a black fabric belt around her midsection and I never realized how wrong the Resistance pilot uniform had done her body wrong. She shook her head at what Hux said and that's when I saw all the damage on her neck.

"You can't be serious Hux. He'll kill us both." I noticed her hair, it was much shorter than I remember and she's much more paler. "Isn't there another cell or interrogation room I can stay in?"

"Empress-"

"Y/N Hux, we've talked about this."

"Y/N...take my keys and go sleep in a real bed. I have to watch this idiot all night anyways. you'll have my quarters all to yourself and I can even come wake you and move you down here before he wakes. That way he'll never know." She sighed heavily an reluctantly took the keys. Who is she hiding from? Who's doing this to her?

"Fine. But come get me before he finds out I'm in your bed, he'll assume the worst and you know how he treats me with that." She tensed up and Hugs brought her into a slightly awkward hug. How dare he touch her.

That's my wife.

-(Later)-

I woke up to a thud and yelling coming from my the door. The General was the first to enter, then Y/N in the same clothes as yesterday, then-no.

"YOU KNOW THE RULES!!!" His voice was a lot more threatening than I remember. He pushed her into the cell with me and Hux held me back.

"You don't want to see this." He whispered in my ear. He tried to pull me away but I stood my ground.

"I'm sorry, I haven't slept in a real bed in months Kylo!" She shouted, fear swallowed her pupils and tears stained her precious face. How does she not recognize me.

"That's no excuse. You may be the Empress, but you still answer to me!" He held her by her neck, slowly rising her off of the ground. "You bitch. How dare you sleep in anyone else's bed but mine. You're mine."

"Please don't, I can't take anymore." Her voice croaked. Y/N never feared anything, what the hell was going on.

He threw her down and pinned her against the wall without moving a muscle. "You know what comes next. Hux get the damn prisoner out."

"No." I said, ripping free of the General. "I want to see this." Y/N looked at me and I barely recognized the girl staring at me. I met her gaze and she looked so unlike herself. "It's me." I mouthed and her blank stare didn't even budge. We've been married almost 2 years, how does she not know me?

"Fine." Kylo kept her pinned and forced her to look at me. She mouthed 'help' to Hugs and I. Neither of us could move when Ren ignited his saber. "Get ready darling."

He took it and slowly put cuts all over her body. She screamed out in horror. It physically pained me to watch him do this to the love of my life. "Keep screaming, let everyone hear you." She cried in pain as he tortured her.

"Screw this." I broke away from Hux again and ran in front of the Commander. "Stop!" I broke the cuffs and held the hilt of his saber and disarmed him. "Do you know who I am?"

"A pilot?" Well...

"No. I'm Y/n's husband. Not you."

------

(Y/N's POV)

"No. I'm Y/N's husband. Not you." What? I was never apart of the resistance. "I can prove it to you." He turned to me and Kylo called for his saber and went to attack.

"Watch out!" The man ducked and tried to fight off Kylo. "Hux!" I looked to him for assistance to get the hell out of here, I didn't care about either of these men.

Hux came over and helped me up and carried me out of the room when I heard Kylo yell after me. I didn't feel good at all. "Hux..."

"Hang in there Empress. We're almost to my ship. We'll get you help, hang in there."

Hux's voice and face faded out as the pain consumed me.

(flashback)

"Y/N!" I turn my head and wipe my hands on my uniform. The orange on my pants was barely visible behind the black soot.

"Hey Rey!" She gave me a hug. The whole team had went out on a mission and Rey came to tell me all about it, but couldn't help but wonder where my boyfriend was.

"Let's go tell General Leia, plus I have some stuff for you to work on with Poe." Wherever he is.

I went with Rey to the main quarters and that's when she covered my eyes and guided my inside. "Hey!!" I laughed, pawing at her hands. "I can't see!!"

She laughed and the pushed me forward and uncovered my eyes. In front of me stood Finn with the most beautiful arrangement of flowers, General Leia with a beautiful necklace and headpiece made out of the same flowers Finn gave to me.

When they moved out of the way, there was Poe, on one knee with the most magnificent ring in the whole universe. "Will you marry me?"

"Yes!!"

-(end)-

I woke up and shot forward. I gasped for air and Hux was the first one to assist me, but he was in a gray shirt and brown pants covered by a white robe-like jacket. "Hux?"

"Morning Y/N." I looked around. Where was I? "You're at the Resistance base, you're home."

Home?

In walked an older woman with folded clothes in her hands. "Commander Y/L/N-"

It all came flooding back.

Poe, Finn, Rey, General Leia.

I flew X-Wings and I was damn good at it. I was a commanding pilot and I was force sensitive. I had a lightsaber and I trained with Luke and Leia. I even helped Rey.

"Leia."

She smiled, "Welcome back, you aren't my son's prisoner anymore."
