The Only One

Episode 7

prev | Fic Masterlist | My Masterlist | next

Summary: The last time you saw Poe was right before he blew up Starkliller Base - a huge victory for the Resistance. Things go to hell after that and you are separated from Poe, needing to rely on your instincts...and the Force. A huge secret starts to be revealed.

a/n: This Episode glosses over the events in the film The Last Jedi. You don't have to be knowledgeable about the sequel films to continue the story - everything that relates to Elia is summarized here. She is a bit separate from Poe during film events, so this is not a re-telling.

Pairing: Poe Dameron x female original character. Fic is written in second person, but the female "you" has a name (It reads basically the same as any other xreader)

Word Count: 1.6k

Content: violence, action, little angst (no more than in the films), not beta'd

PREVIOUSLY on "The Only One"...

He turned around one more time, granting you another sweet smile. “Wait for me, Ells. I’ll be right back.”

Somehow his humor and good nature gave you hope. Poe always gave you hope.

“May the Force be with you,” you whispered to no one really. Or, to all of them.

The next week was hell.

Which was, perhaps, what a demon like yourself deserved.

At first, the Resistance buzzed with the thrill of victory. Poe and his team destroyed Starkiller Base after Rebel legends Han Solo and Chewbacca worked together with the stormtrooper who defected and a young woman named Rey.

But before you could celebrate or have much of a reunion with Poe, the stormtrooper, who you learned was named Finn, was sent to medical in critical condition, while Rey supposedly flew away to find Luke Skywlaker.

Kylo Ren had murdered Han Solo.

You thought taking out Starkiller Base would give the Resistance a huge advantage in the uphill battle against the First Order, but the New Republic had suffered tremendous losses, crippling, if not obliterating support for the Resistance.

Your assignment kept you apart from Poe for days, so you hadn’t seen him since that fateful moment directly before the Starkiller Base battle.

...where he kissed you and asked you to wait for him.

So many had been lost since then - the chaos, nonstop. After the most recent attack took out most of Resistance command, someone named Holdo took over.

You were dying to see Poe, desperate to see for yourself that he was okay. Every time something else exploded, you felt sure you’d receive a report of his death. The stress piled up as you worked separately from Poe, thinking he might die, or you might die.

To make a desperate situation worse, the attack on the ship's bridge left Leia seriously wounded. And directly before Holdo took command, Poe was demoted, which infuriated you.

And, aside from the fact that you were (thankfully) able to focus, or hyper focus, as it were, on computer programming and other computer tech needs, the news of Commander Dameron's demotion was all you could think about...

...or talk about.

Thankfully, Perrha was with you for the past few days and was a wonderful grounding force for you.

Now, the Resistance was trying to safely land transports on the planet Crait.

Everyone watched in horror as one after the other, the First Order blew them out of the sky. You kept yourself busy working, tears streaming down your face at the thought of Poe being on one of those obliterated ships.

Poe felt the same way.

After maybe the worst week of his life (aside from when his mom died), Poe woke up from the little nap Leia's stun gun gave him. He listened patiently as Leia explained Holdo's plan, then watched in horror as transport after transport was obliterated.

"Where's Elia?" He asked Leia, as if she might somehow know. He had lost too many today, not only on the bridge, but when some of his closest friends died in the hangar explosion.

Leia shook her head, unsure.

Poe stared out into space. "Which one is she on?" He murmured, thankful that his new friend Finn was at least safe for the moment. Hopefully.

The planet's surface was so close. You and Perrha might make it through this. But who could be sure what awaited you on Crait, with the First Order bearing down hard?

As you entered the planet's atmosphere, the transport closest to yours exploded - near enough to your own that the blast and debris wreaked havoc. You were taking serious damage - hit hard enough to crash, just not to explode instantly like the neighboring transport.

Everyone around you was astoundingly calm, focused and professional, but a crash landing would not be avoidable.

Perrha's eyes met yours frantically as fire, debris and smoke filled the transport.

"We're not gonna make it," they gasped, coughing from all the smoke.

Panic gripped your heart. You didn't want to die. For once in your life, you really wanted to live and not just in terms of survival. You wanted to help the Resistance. You wanted them to win. You needed to learn about the Force, and ascertain from Leia if you were truly doomed to be a servant of the darkness.

Perrha was your friend and so was Poe. Your very best friend. Your heart broke as you thought of never seeing him again. It couldn't end this way.

So instead of giving in to despair, you opened yourself up to the flow of energy - no. The Force. A wall of fire swept through the transport.

"No." Your voice could barely be heard over the commotion. It wasn't a plea but a command.

Perrha cried out your name as you stretched out your hands and literally pushed the fire backward.

Your breathing steadied, your countenance - a mask of serenity. Your eyes fluttered closed as the Force surrounded you, flowed through you.

The fire would not touch you. Nor Perrha.

The remaining Resistance fighters watched from their transports, in awe, as a transport-on-fire gently touched down on the planet's surface.

You heard nothing. You only felt.

Calm.

Finally, you heard Perrha screaming your name. "This thing is gonna blow, come on!" They quite literally jerked you away - your boots thumping on the planet's surface as you ran for your life.

The ship exploded, knocking the survivors to the ground with a concussive force - dangerous, but not fatal.

Your ears rang, dusty salt filled your lungs, but Perrha hauled you up. You ran again, as fast as you had ever in your life.

The First Order had entered the planet's atmosphere and took up position at the mine entrance - the old Rebel base. Unfortunately, your transport's crash left you quite far away on foot. But thankfully, the First Order would assume your exploded crash site would leave no survivors - giving you time to run.

A battle raged overhead and in the distance. Blaster and cannon fire, and boot prints turned the ashy, salty surface blood red.

Your group finally made it to the mine, but there was no getting in the front entrance. The huge blaster door was sealed, but under heavy attack.

"Is there another way in?" You wondered aloud.

"Is there another way out?" Perrha countered, panicked. "Are they trapped in there?"

Your ragtag team rallied, determined to find a way to either get in to the safety of the mine, or help the remaining Resistance fighters escape, if they were trapped.

Suddenly you saw an old rust bucket ship zoom overhead and land at the edge of a shallow cliff.

Your team arrived just in time to see a young woman...making dozens of piles of rocks...float. This action served to clear a blocked path, allowing the Resistance fighters to escape the mine.

You saw the stormtrooper, Finn. The young woman must be Rey. You were so distracted by her dazzling display of the Force, that you almost didn't notice that just beside Finn...

was Poe.

Finn raced into Rey's arms for a hug, but it was Poe who noticed your ash-covered, singed, rag-tag crew, confused, for a moment, as to why you would have appeared with Rey.

"Elia," he breathed, pushing his way past anyone and everything in his path, including the huge boulders Rey had lifted moments before.

You were an adorable mess, most of your hair had tumbled out of your twin buns. Soot tarnished your cheeks and clothes. By some miracle your unlaced boots stayed in place while you ran for your life.

As Poe clambered toward you, your hands anxiously grabbed for your backpack straps…only to come up empty.

“M-my backpack,” you gasped, frantically touching your arms and chest.

Okay, people were dead.

Your transport crashed and exploded.

You only survived because you wielded the Force and ran for your life.

The First Order was bearing down.

Poe was alive!

But your brain?

“My backpack,” you repeated, desperately, craving the familiar soothing touchstone of its frayed straps.

“Here, sweetheart,” Poe gently offered, reaching for the fallen strap, to pull it back onto your shoulder. “Looks like the other one got burned.”

Which meant…

You grabbed for the other strap urgently, realizing the little pack might have been destroyed, leaving your wings out in the open.

Poe, so relieved to see you alive, wishing with all his heart that the could throw his arms around you, tried to understand…

“No, no no …” You shook your head, eyes wide with horror.

“Ells?” He asked, confused, holding up his hands in a supplicating manner, trying to show you he wouldn’t touch you if you didn’t want him to. “Baby, are you hurt?”

“I can’t…my backpack,” you gasped, short of breath. “I can’t…” Shaking your head rapidly, you backed away, running into Perrha…who got a look at your exposed back.

“Oh, Elia. A-are you - w-what happened…” they trailed off, glancing at Poe, confused at the sight of your tightly furled, dark wings. Perrha wasn’t sure if you were burned, or what was going on.

“What is it?” He demanded. “Is she hurt?” He reached for your arm to turn you around, but before his hand made contact, you clenched your fists and cried out.

“No!”

…sending tiny bits of rock flying outward from you body in every direction.

This got Rey’s attention.

As far as the young Jedi trainee knew, she and Leia were the only ones capable of this sort of thing.

Poe backed away, stunned, brushing bits of gravel from his face and hair, exchanging worried glances with Perrha, but determined to make sure you were all right.

He thought to approach you, but stopped short at a miraculous sight.

Your hair had tumbled down, beautiful and wild, your eyes closed in concentration.

Hands clenched by your sides, you held yourself still as bits of rock and earth circled you slowly.

And behind you, dark, slick wings unfurled.

Previous Chapter ❥ Next Chapter ❥ Fic Masterlist

I wake up at noon and hiss at the sunlight threatening me from the side of Ville’s velvet curtains. My head is pounding; I can’t be hungover after three cocktails, surely? I ponder last night’s inebriation and realise I haven’t eaten properly for days. Ville doesn’t eat and I have really been neglecting myself. I get out of bed, looking for something to wear, and realise I left my bag of clothes in my car.

“Ugh, I do not wanna do the walk of shame again!” I moan aloud to myself. Elias must think I’m such a skank. I glance at the mirrored black wardrobe at the end of the room. I’m sure Ville won’t mind if I borrow a shirt. The wardrobe has jackets and dress shirts and trousers hanging up. There are some drawers below and I tentatively open the top one. Underwear. I think about Ville finding me in his underwear and wonder if he’ll find it sexy. I steal a pair of his boxers and slide them on. They’re black, of course. I open the next drawer and find t-shirts. “Perfect!” I murmur as I unfold the first one I find. It’s an old Black Sabbath shirt, circa the time where Ozzy was accused of biting a bat I assume, and pull it on over my head. It’s oversized and baggy; perfect boyfriend fit. I look at myself in his mirrors and smile. He might be a vampire but, aside from our nocturnal dates, it feels like a fairly normal relationship… as normal as an all-consuming, incredibly sexual, relationship can be.

I wander downstairs, hoping Ville has snacks to silence my growling stomach. I stand alone in the hall, suddenly feeling very small in Ville’s large home. Where is his kitchen? Does he have a kitchen? Fuck. I wander into what appears to be a large living room. There are shelves of books, a liquor cabinet, and a grand piano in the corner.

Dusting the piano is Mari, who looks up and greets me with a smile. “Good morning, dear. Sleep well?” She asks politely.

“Uh, yeah, kind of. I’m just wondering… does Ville have a kitchen? I keep forgetting to eat.” Mari scolds me for not looking after myself and leads me through a dining room. The tall walls are covered in paintings. They are dark paintings. One is of a woman serving a bleeding heart on a tray. It has an Edgar Allen Poe feel. I am rushed through to the kitchen. It’s surprisingly modern, unlike every other room in The Haunted Mansion, which I now decide to call it. The floor is laminate light oak. The worktops are a grey marble granite, with a matching island in the middle. Mari ushers me to perch on a stool at the island as she runs around rummaging in cupboards. She refuses any help and whips me up an omelette, toast and a pot of tea. She truly is an angel. She loves cooking and says she will cook more things and leave meals in the fridge for me, though I try to tell her I am happy to cook for myself. Whilst she is putting things away I notice multiple bottles in the fridge. Red bottles. Blood. I shake away the unease and finish my warm tea. Suddenly I have a stroke of genius. Maybe Ville and I can make use of the dining room. Maybe I could cook for him using the blood in his fridge? My mind goes into overdrive thinking about all of the “normal” things we can achieve in our vampire-girlfriend relationship.

I realise I am still in last night’s makeup and could really use a hot shower. I’ve stayed the night a few times now, but I barely even know where the bathroom is. Mari offers to give me a tour and I gladly and desperately accept. She leads me back through the dining room, in what I am told is the East Wing, and into the hall. She leads me into the West Wing, through some sort of entertainment room. There’s a pool table, darts, bookcases full of books, and so on and so forth. There are small tables and Crystal decanters. The walls are a damask grey and black.

We briskly walk through into glass, mirrored room. “It’s a pool room”, says Mari “And over there in the corner you have a jacuzzi.” she smiles.

“A hot tub? Vampire Ville has a hot tub?!” Mari laughs. Aside from being pissed that he kept this from me, I’m feeling quite optimistic about filling my days whilst he sleeps. Mari informs me there is a shower room, steam room and bathroom round the back. She then leads me upstairs and we bypass the master bedroom. I’ve spent many an hour screaming Ville’s names within those walls; I hope they’re soundproof. Mari shows me her bedroom, Elias’ bedroom, and the master bathroom. The master bathroom has a huge wide bath on four legs; the perfect cure for a hangover. She also opens two large wooden doors into a room with a large screen. I’m told it’s a home cinema which Ville never uses. I make a mental note to talk to him about this. There is a door at the end of the hall which Mari warns me never to open, and instructs that they are “Ville’s sleeping quarters”. I wonder how many coffins he has stacked up in there. I thank Mari for the tour, and make haste downstairs. I run to the car, grab my bags and run back upstairs. I’m sure that Elias is probably judging me, but with my toiletries now in the house I plan to never do the walk of shame again.

I have the longest, hottest soak in the bath and use this time to reflect on the last few weeks. It’s been a month since I first met Ville, and our relationship has progressed so quickly. We’ve both admitted we’re in love. We can’t go a day without seeing each other. I’m currently on long term sick from work with little desire to go back. I haven’t moved in but I might as well… the list goes on. He has never once asked if I want to become a vampire. I ponder on this. Maybe he wants me to, but doesn’t want to ask? Maybe the guilt of turning me into a vampire would be too much for him to bear? Do I even want to change? To survive on the life of others? To never again see the sun? These are impossible questions. Beyond being underneath Ville’s muscular body, I have no idea where I want to be or what I want to do. I sigh. After last night’s drunken mess, I take time to wash, moisturise and dress. I slip on a dark emerald green dress with sleeves. It’s simple but clingy, and I know it’ll make Ville salivate. I charge my phone, which has been dead for hours. There is a missed call from Larissa, followed by a text: “Your boyfriend was right about my date. Tell him I’m sorry. I miss you.” I scoff. Larissa can absolutely get fucked. Cruelly, I find myself thinking she would have deserved to have had her drink spiked, but I then dismiss the unkind thought from my head.

The day goes quickly and I soon realise it’s 6pm. Ville will be up in around an hour. I head to the kitchen and conduct a haphazard search though his groceries and appliances. I decide to make him a blood and tomato soup, with garlic bread for dipping. I laugh out loud thinking about serving garlic to my vampire boyfriend, but he did say it was safe… I start by chopping onions and other veggies; adding herbs and spices. I take a bottle out of the fridge and mix it in, trying not to think about what I’m cooking. Stirring the soup in the pan, two pale arms make their way around me. I gasp but the shock is over quickly as Ville starts to kiss my neck lightly.

“Something smells good…” he whispers into my neck.

“You don’t really eat…” I say, leaning into his touch, “…but food is my love language and I wanted to make you something”.

“Take a break”, he murmurs, tracing his lips along the skin on my collarbone. I sigh, and do as I’m told, turning the hob off, desperate to feel his touch. I back into the kitchen island in the middle of floor and, pressing with my hands, perch myself on the worktop. My gothic prince stands before me. Skinny jeans… and nothing else. I choose not to fight the lust, and run both of my hands down his pale toned chest. I glance up to take in his beauty. He stares down at me with light, sea green oceans for eyes, a sharp jaw that could cut through diamond, and blush pink lips. My eyes fixate on his mouth, hungry for his kiss, lustful for a bite on his plump bottom lip. As if he can read my thoughts, his lips crash down onto mine so aggressively that my fingers dig into his shoulders, pressing my body to his to avoid falling backwards.

My mouth agape in surprise welcomes Ville’s warm, wet tongue. Orally claiming me; my senses consumed by him. I know I am drenched with desire already and shiver with the anticipation. Noticing, he pulls back and asks “What is it, beautiful?”

I blush furiously, avoiding his gaze “My panties are wet just thinking…” I trail off, biting my lower lip.

“Don’t make me fuck you in this kitchen, baby…” he growls in his deep trademark voice, commanding my attention. He stares into my eyes and we both breathe heavily, the sexual tension loudly lingering in the air.

I wrap one leg around his waist and pull him towards me, “Don’t threaten me with a good time, Valo.” I purr, and he loses it. He runs one hand through the hair on my head as the other gropes at my hip. His tongue exploring my mouth, my jawline, my neck. I start to moan and he stops to lean back and admire his handiwork as I pant and my chest heaves for air. He runs his hands up my thighs and I gasp as his fingers glide closer and closer.

Without warning he pushes my panties to the side and drives his index finger into my tight pussy. I cry out, practically cumming into his palm. “Ville…” I moan into his mouth. His middle finger joins his index finger as he pushes in and out, kissing me deeply. I brush his belt with my fingers, reaching lower to caress his cock through his jeans. He pauses for a moment; he moans and closes his eyes, enjoying the movement of my hand. Suddenly, his eyes snap back open and something has changed. They are red. My heart starts to beat outside of my chest.

“Ville?” I say, shakily. He removes his fingers; they are blood red. I look down, “Shit!” I curse, realising I’ve started my period. Ville moves his fingers to his lips and sucks my blood.

“You taste so good…” he moans, closing his eyes in ecstasy. When he opens them again, his eyes are back to their usual dreamy green. “I’m sorry… I… please don’t be scared. I just…” he runs his hands through his hair, visibly stressed “You smell so good and it wasn’t hurting you and…”.

“Shh, it’s okay.” I soothe, taking his shoulders in my hands. “Do you want to…?” He blinks.

“You’re asking if I want to drink your blood?” He says in disbelief.

“Yes… do you want to?” I repeat, softly.

“Are you sure?” His eyes begin to darken again.

“Yes, baby.” I lean back on to my elbows and move my legs slightly apart, “Drink me.” In an instant, Ville falls on one knee, slips my lace panties off and dives inside me, tongue first. I gasp at the feel of his warm tongue and the sound of him lapping between my thighs. I look down at him and am drawn into his crimson eyes. Our eyes meet and I watch him flick his tongue up and down my clitoris. I throw my head back and moan. Never in a million years would I have dreamt of this, but I am beside myself with arousal. I feel him tongue the opening to my vagina all the way to my clit; back and forth, torturing me in the best way.

I prepare my best Finnish accent and reach down to grasp his hair aggressively between my fingers. When I have control of his gaze, I beg “VITTU MINUA, VEELUH!” With a quick intake of breath, he stands, unbuckles his belt, frees the beast and shoves his hard cock inside of me. I scream in response as he pounds me aggressively and noisily. I imagine the sounds of our moaning and the quick sharp slaps of his skin against mine echoing through the halls.

“Please, God, HARDER!” I beg. He wraps his strong arms around my waist and lifts me off the kitchen counter. He slams me into the kitchen wall and thrusts aggressively. Up close I see his wild, hungry red eyes and the sharp fangs he is trying to conceal. I know what he wants…. “Bite me, baby” I whisper, gasping as he obliges immediately, sinking his fangs into the tender flesh of my neck, drinking my life, as I come undone.

“Oh my god!” I whimper as my walls tighten around him. He continues the aggressive assault until I hear him moan loudly.

“Vittu! Oh, fuck!” He slows to a halt and holds me tightly, both of us shaking with the comedown from our respective orgasms.

I unwrap my legs from his waist and attempt to stand, but my legs are weak. He senses my imbalance and holds me close as he catches his breath at the nape of my neck.

“I’m sorry, sometimes I forget which language I’m speaking.” he smiles. I smile weakly, my abdomen throbbing with pain. I am unsure if it is because of my typical monthly woe, or because of the unusually, but absolutely welcome, rough sex. He bites into his wrist and then kisses my neck with his bloody mouth, healing my bite wound.

“What does it mean when your eyes turn red?” I whisper. “It’s, uh, hunger, lust, maybe a bit of both?” He muses.

“Bloodlust.” I correct.

“Yeah…” he smiles, sheepishly. “I, um, that was amazing.” He says, beaming.

“Life-changing.” I blush “…but now I don’t think I can walk”. His eyes widen.

“Oh God, did I go too hard?” He asks, remorsefully.

“Um, yes, but I asked you to… and I enjoyed it.” I give him a reassuring smile.

“Well, I can carry you!” He fireman lifts me in his arms. “Where would you like to go, my love?”

I giggle, “Well, my boyfriend forgot to tell me he has a freaking hot tub, so let’s start there!”

He hesitates, “Do I? I’d forgotten about that!” He chuckles.

“How could you forget you have an entire spa in your home?!” I laugh, but Ville’s smile fades.

“Luxuries are senseless when you have no one to share it with.” I wonder how much pain he hides behind those eyes. “Anyway, your spa retreat awaits!” he forces a smile and whisks me to his pool room.

By now, I have regained the ability to stand despite the crippling pain in my cervix. I pull my dress over my head.

“Did you bring a bikini?” He asks.

“No…” I smirk, unclasping my bra and letting it fall to the floor. I slowly lower myself into the hot tub. The warm water soothes my aching, swollen lady parts: this is bliss.

Ville walks to the corner of the room to flick a switch. The spotlights fade. “Mood lighting.” He grins, and I watch him slide off his jeans, noting there is no underwear in sight, as his manhood once again looms free, still somewhat erect.

“Down, girl!” I scold myself mentally. I will need at least a day to recover. Ville climbs in and positions himself next to me, one arm around my shoulders.

“Ville?” I turn to him. “You seem so sad… talk to me”.

Ville takes a deep breath, “Is it that obvious?” I nod. “I’ve made some poor life choices, and I’m scared I will end up alone. There was a dark time in my life where all I did was abuse my body. I drank myself stupid. I tried very unsuccessfully to kill myself. I never expected to be happy again. I was so full of hope. I wanted a family. I wanted kids. Sometimes I feel like I’ve wasted my life.”

I put my arms tenderly around his shoulders. “You haven’t wasted your life, you have a brilliant musical legacy. You won’t be alone: you have me. Always.” I soothe.

He closes his eyes. “I want to believe that so badly…” he sighs “…but you and I both know you deserve better. How long before you meet someone who can take you for dates in the sun…”

“Fuck the sun.” I interject. “You forget I can take myself out into the sun.” I reason.

“Yes… but I won’t have you for long, after you reach the limits of your mortality I will be forever alone.” He avoids my gaze, looking down, like he is doing everything to mask his emotional pain.

“Ville… nothing is going to stop me being with you. I don’t need to see the fucking sun.” He looks up in disbelief; his lips parted in shock.

“No… I can’t ask you to do that.” He whispers.

“It is my decision to make, and I want to. End of story.” I say harshly, not entertaining his pity party. “I’m not ready yet… give me time. I will be. I promise.” I cup his cheek in my hand and he turns to kiss my palm.

“I can’t help but feel guilt… taking you away from the light, from the life you know.” He looks up at me with puppy dog eyes, round and bright and beautiful.

“Before you, I was floating through life, never feeling rooted, never belonging anywhere.” I say, earnestly. “For the first time in my life, I feel like I’m home… and home is wherever you are.” I feel the tracks of warm tears down my cheeks. He cups my face in his hands, using his thumbs to wipe away my tears.

“Olen sinun ikuisesti, rakkaani.” He smiles.

“You are…?” I try to translate.

“I am yours forever, my love.” He says, leaning his head to one side to look at me. He is adorable.

I pause, translating English to Finnish in my head, desperate for it to sound perfect. “Olet minun ikuisesti, rakkaani.” Proudly I tell him that he is mine forever.

“You’ve been practising”, grins Ville, pleasantly surprised.

“I’ve been on Duo Lingo constantly.” I laugh. “Fuck, the soup!” I curse, as I realise I’ve left Ville’s meal half cooked in a pan on the stove. “Oh goddamnit, my panties as well…”

“It was very sweet of you to cook for me. I can’t say I’m hungry, though, as you know I’ve already eaten…” he raises an eyebrow suggestively, dragging my mind back to our deliciously depraved encounter on the kitchen island.

“I am WEAK, Ville. Who told you to sneak up on me shirtless?!” We both giggle.

“I couldn’t find my Black Sabbath shirt!” He becomes aroused and suggestive at the mention of it being on the bathroom floor having been worn by his girlfriend.

When my fingertips wrinkle, we wrap ourselves in towels and head up to his bedroom so I can get changed. Ville suggests some of his shirts. He sits on the edge of his bed, watching me try on his things. I steal a pair of black boxers from his drawer and peruse his collection of band merchandise. I borrow a Jane’s Addiction crop shirt.

“I can’t believe I’m borrowing a crop top from my boyfriend…” I laugh, rolling my eyes.

“You look better in it.” He grins, reaching and grabbing the shirt hem to yank me forwards into his arms. He starts kissing my bare stomach.

“Mmm, stop…” I say begrudgingly, stroking the curls on his head “I’m sore, baby, I need time to heal.” Ville pouts, his bottom lip protruding in frustration. “Don’t make me bite that lip, Valo!” I glare at him, jokingly.

“What was that thing you said earlier? Don’t threaten me with a good time?” We laugh together; teasing and enjoying each other’s company. “I promise I’ll behave myself. Just tell me when you’re ready, again.” He pulls his skinny jeans on and leans against the wall. He crosses his arms waiting for me to finish blow drying and brushing my hair. I steal glances at his smooth toned chest and force the less than holy thoughts away.

I grab a shirt from his drawer and throw it at him. “Put on a shirt, Valo! You’re too distracting!”

He walks up to me and puts his hands on my hips. “Hmm, you seem to be getting far too comfortable with disrespect…” he smirks. “One more ‘Valo’ and I will have to spank that beautiful ass.”

Impossible to hide my arousal, I close my eyes and steady my breath, “Pencil me in for a spanking when I’ve recovered.” I say, huskily, and quickly pull on a pencil skirt.

I think about going out for a date, but my memories of last night surface and I decide I need time away from the world outside of Ville’s home. I realise I have grown weary of the drunken London crowd; I am tired of trying to fit in where I don’t belong. Ville as always is understanding and supportive. He leads me down the stairs and outside. Behind his home is acres of grassy land. He lays a picnic blanket down so that we can lie in each others’ arms and look at the stars. I lay my head on his solid chest and nuzzle close to him. The night is romantic and my heart is full. We spend the night talking about our hopes and dreams; our plans for the future, which now involve each other. We talk about going back to Finland so I can meet his parents. Ville is close with his parents and hasn’t seen them for a year; he feels awful about it. They know he is a vampire and they worry. We talk about marriage. Marriage is sacred to him; he gushes about the loving relationship his parents have, and how they are the epitome of a happy married couple. He tells me he has never experienced a romance as close until now. He kisses me sweetly under the light of the moon. We talk about children and his heart is heavy; I suggest adoption and he brightens. There is hope. Ville has felt lost ever since the band broke up and says he has been thinking about starting a solo venture. He tells me he has started writing a song for me. I beg to hear it but he tells me it’s nowhere near finished; it’s working title is ‘Foreverlost’. I pout and he responds by leaning in and biting my bottom lip gently.

His beautiful light eyes burn a hole in me, like he can see right into my soul. “What?” I ask nervously as he looks at me.

“I am forever lost in you.” He says, dreamily.

“That would make a good lyric.” I smile.

“It would”, agrees Ville.

The sky is lightening, preparing for sunrise, yet we remain still, not wanting to let go of each other. Ville’s legs shift, and he stands. “Come”, he commands, holding out his palm. I look up, mildly irritated and cross my arms defiantly. “I’ll sing you a song?” he offers, and I jump up excitement. We hold hands and walk slowly back to the house.

In his room, I kick my shoes off and sit on the bed, ready to be serenaded. Ville pulls off his shirt and begins to tune his guitar. “You need to be shirtless to play?!” I roll my eyes, mildly annoyed by the audacity of this man, parading his sexy body around. Who the hell does he think he is?!

He grins, “It helps the artistic process… and makes my girlfriend wet.” He winks in my direction and the accuracy of his words borders on ridiculous. He sits in front of me on the bed and begins to play an acoustic, slow, heart-wrenching tune. He purses his lips and takes a breath, ready to sing…

We're drifting apart,

But I want you to know

Wherever you are I belong

Love's singing our song

But we fail to sing along

Wherever you go I will follow

So please don't let it

Please don't let it go

Cause if you won't let it

I won't let it go

You try to be strong

But you're always so alone

Whatever I do I do you wrong

Death sings our song

And we eagerly sing along

Whatever you do I adore

So please don't let it

Please don't let it go

Cause if you won't let it

I won't let it go

Don't let go of life

Let go of love

Let go of all we have

Don't let go of trust

Let go of lust

Let go of all we share

So please don't let it

Please don't let it go

Cause if you won't let it

I won't let it go

“I will never let you go.” I whisper. We embrace as he places soft kisses on the top of my head. The sun is rising and I know he has to sleep soon.

“Stay with me?” I plead.

“You know I can’t, baby” he whispers back, morose.

“Yeah, yeah. I’m too delicious, whatever!” I chide, folding my arms and facing away from him, hiding a wry smile.

He kneels on the bed and crawls up behind me. He leans in, his lips millimetres from my ear. “You get very bratty when all you need a good fuck.” I gasp and turn to look at him. “I will be happy to fuck that attitude out of you, when you are ready.” He purrs.

“You are evil!” I pout.

“I am… but you love it.” He knows I can’t argue. “Good night, rakkaani” he says as he slips out of the bedroom door.

“Better hope I don’t nail that coffin door shut, Valo!” I yell after him, hearing him giggle like a schoolgirl down the hall. I lie back on the bed and smile, feeling truly and utterly content, before succumbing to sleep.

Ch. 15:  That’s What I Do

Fandom: Criminal Minds // Pairing: Spencer Reid x OFC

[Story Masterlist] // [Aitana’s Masterlist]

Taglist: @ocappreciationtag​​​​​​​ @arrthurpendragon​​​​​​​ @anotherunreadblog​​​​​​​ @maaaaarveeeeel​​​​​​​ @stareyedplanet​​​​​​​​​ @averyhotchner​​​ ​​​​​@foxesandmagic​​

If you’d like to be a part of this OC’s taglist, let me know!

"Thanks," Aitana said politely and went back to the files.

Penelope was about to say something else, primarily to start a conversation but she figured now wasn't the time. She counted her lucky stars that Aitana hadn't completely shut her out after learning who really read her journal. Things were going slow in terms of rebuilding their friendship but Penelope wasn't going to give up anytime soon.

Aitana put her pen down on the desk and rose from her seat. She wasn't surprised that Penelope was still waiting for her. She grabbed the file on her desk and left the office with Penelope, making a direct line for the conference room.

"So...do you have any plans for the weekend?" Penelope thought to ask on the way.

Aitana knew the trick and she would commend Penelope for doing it so cautiously. She heard firsthand from Morgan how over-the-top Penelope Garcia could be. He also pointed out the restraint Penelope had when it came to their tetchy relationship. Aitana knew it; she saw it. She just wasn't entirely ready to fully forgive Penelope yet.

But never let it be said that she wasn't polite.

"As of right now, yes," she answered just as they were coming into the conference room where another conversation was going on.

"...little more commercialized in the 1950s with trick-or-treat, and today it rivals only Christmas in terms of popularity!" Spencer was excitedly explaining to Emily and Rossi.

"All I asked was what he was doing this weekend," Emily mumbled to the others, her eyes wide from all the information Spencer had spewed in the short span of 2 minutes.

Spencer nodded, not quite getting that Emily wanted him to stop. "I'm toying with the notion of either going to the Edgar Allan Poe Shadow Puppet T or the reenactment of the 19th century Phantasmagoria."

"I don't want to know," Rossi resolved with a shake of his head.

"Phanta...phantaph…" Aitana cocked her head to the side. "Can I just say 'Phantom of the Opera'? I actually know that one."

Spencer grinned at the opportunity to explain even more. "Phantasmagorias are these amazing pre-cinema projected ghost shows invented in France, where the showman attempted to spook the audience using science magic. And it just so happens that I have an extra ticket." Of course as soon as he replayed his last sentence and realized how that sounded—a direct ask for a date—he stammered to clarify what he meant. "I-I mean that for everyone, n-n-not just…" He weakly gestured towards Aitana who, thankfully, didn't seem to think anything more of it. He did, however, notice Emily's and Morgan's smirks. He would be hearing about this, he was sure.

"I'm actually going to try and celebrate Halloween this year too," Aitana said, even revealing a bit of giddiness too. "I haven't really done it since I got out of Witness and now that Elia and I are talking again...we're hosting a little Halloween party. Everyone here is invited, of course."

"I don't mean to rain on the parade—" Morgan started, "—but you should know that this job might get in the way of plans like those."

"I know," Aitana nodded. "But I think that planning it and wanting it is a big step for my case. Last year, I literally locked myself in my room. This year, if all goes well, I will be Alice in Wonderland."

"Aww, that would be adorable," gushed Penelope. That one, she couldn't hold in and Aitana knew it when the woman clapped a hand over her mouth and ducked her head. That was just her personality.

Aitana smiled lightly and moved around to hand over the copies of the case they would be discussing soon. As she handed the last copy, Hotch strode in and started the meeting.

"We're going to Detroit," he announced as he flicked the screen on. They were met with some photographs of charred corpses.

"It's Halloween weekend," Spencer said with the touch of natural disappointment. Morgan then glanced at Aitana to remind her of his warning. Yeah, now she understood.

"Arson investigators have noticed a 3-year trend in the days leading up to Halloween," Hotch explained. "Devil's Night. This unsub is killing only these 3 days out of the year."

"He's burning his victims alive," Aitana made a weak gesture towards the charred corpses. No one should be seeing that in the morning...or at any time actually. "He's abducting seemingly random people and dumping their bodies in abandoned parts of town. He struck again last night."

"Yeah. Tony Torrell, 40," Penelope switched pictures on the screen to show the man she spoke about. "He lives in the suburbs, but he was found 20 miles away in the Rivertown District. He's attacking the city at its most vulnerable time."

"What does he do during the rest of the year?" asked Spencer.

"He's dormant," Hotch said.

That didn't strike as reasonable. "You know, arsonists are typically white males between 17 and 25 who can't stay away from fire," remarked Spencer.

"Yeah, they're addicted to it and there's no rehab," Morgan added. "And they target dwellings, not people."

Penelope had tried following along with their profiling lingo and she was fairly sure that she'd gotten it right. "So you're saying he burns his victims alive but he's not an arsonist?"

Morgan nodded. "Fire is simply his weapon."

"And Devil's Night gives him the perfect cover to kill," Hotch said.

"Then we've got 48 hours before he disappears again," Emily realized based off the current timeline they had.

Morgan flipped through the file to skim the previous victim's information. "Well, his last victim was athletic. He wouldn't be easy to subdue. The offender must be just as strong or might have an upper hand if he's younger."

"Which begs the question of how he transports his victims across the city and gets them inside buildings without being noticed?" Aitana swayed her head as she considered possible ideas. None of them were easy to go with. The fact is during Halloween and the days leading up to it, no one was watching anything.

~0~

Once Aitana made herself comfortable on the long couch of the jet, she started going through the files again. "At the risk of sounding like an idiot, I thought Devil's Night was Halloween Eve…" Thankfully, no one took her words to heart.

Spencer was more than happy to get to explain again. "The moniker "Devil's Night" is somewhat deceiving. In Detroit, it's actually a 3-day citywide cultural phenomenon, complete with masks, chaos, and costumes."

"Say that 3 times fast," Rossi said, making Aitana chuckle.

"Sounds like Mardi Gras," Emily said.

"Vandals and amateur arsonists literally set hundreds of fires. Who burns their own city?" Morgan shook his head. It could've been their own home, for God's sake.

"It started as pranks in the 1930s but escalated in the 1970s with disenfranchised youth," said Spencer.

"Well, given today's economy, it must be a free-for-all," Rossi remarked. "They've got record-breaking unemployment and foreclosures, leaving a lot of displaced, desperate people."

"And every single one of these victims suffered unimaginable pain," Aitana crinkled her nose the further she read.

"I'm sure that's what gets him off, watching them burn," Morgan said. "It gives him power and control. The top of the whodunit list is first responders. Firefighters, arson investigators, cops, and paramedics. Civil servants with a hero complex."

"All of whom will be helping us," Hotch reminded them. It wouldn't be an easy task scoping out the needle in the haystack.

"This guy's angry…" Emily went through more pictures of the victims.

"Aren't they all?" Aitana looked up from her own copy. "I mean…I know I'm still raw but any guy—any person—who does things like these has to be furious. Question is what they're angry about."

"Extreme anger usually manifests from a quick temper, but this guy's patient," Spencer noted. It wasn't something they typically saw.

"I'm gonna ask Garcia to notify us the minute that someone's reported missing," Hotch resolved. It was better to have some clues before they did anything else.

"Burns 3 people annually. It's like his Christmas," Rossi said. "And the rest of the year he just plans- targeting his victims and then choosing the buildings he wants to kill them in."

"There's a flaw in his plan," Hotch said, earning the curious looks from the team. "We know about it."

~0~

Aitana made herself scarce from the team as soon as they got to the Detroit precinct to get her information about the popularity of the Unsub. She was trying her best to be a good liaison out in the field. She often felt like she wasn't doing enough, or at least not what JJ would've done. She hoped this would fade with time. When she returned to the conference room, only Spencer was in. He was surrounded by the victims' files.

"I hope I wasn't wrong but I told them we weren't doing anything with the press for now." She fiddled with her fingers until she caught herself and forced her hands on her sides. "I figured since the unsub only kills 3 days out of the year, giving him the popularity of the press wouldn't be the best idea."

"That was a good call," Spencer nodded, unknowingly delivering the assurance Aitana needed to hear.

"Yeah? You think Hotch would agree?"

"Yes, don't worry."

Aitana blew some air out then awkwardly smiled. "I promise that I'll eventually stop asking questions like these. I just need to get the hang of this job."

"Still having trouble, then?"

Aitana nodded. "I have never had this much trouble working before Witness. I'm afraid it's never going to stop."

"It will."

"I know you're super-duper smart but how can you be sure about this one?"

"Because you've already proven that you can get better."

Aitana scrunched her face in confusion. "No, hold on," she pulled a chair to sit down, "You're going to have to explain that one. What did the doctor see that I missed? Besides everything, of course."

Spencer smiled at her. She often said things like that and it just made him smile. He imagined that before Witness, she had been a breezy kind of person. She was probably cheerful—not that she wasn't right now but given her situation, she was naturally less cheery—and lively. She definitely gave the vibe that she'd been lively before Witness.

"You're talking to Elia again," he told her. "You didn't do that anymore, remember?"

"Okay so me talking to my best friend again means that I'm on the right track?"

"In a way," nodded Spencer. "You don't have to be better all at once. First, you didn't work and now you do. Then you decided to talk to Elia again. Those are good steps."

Aitana leaned back in her chair to consider his points. "You're right," she eventually agreed. "Thanks, I needed that."

For a moment there, Spencer didn't know what to do with himself. No one really ever took his words with actual consideration, much less thank him genuinely for saying them in the first place. "Uh, you're...welcome…"

"You should be a therapist on the side," Aitana joked as she pushed her chair in to go over the files.

"For now, I think I'll stay with what I have," Spencer said. He slid a few files over to her to go over. "You just need to try to stop asking for reassurance. If you think it's right, follow through."

Aitana nodded. "I'll try."

Soon after, Hotch and Rossi returned from the morgue. They gathered at the table with the other two and went over the victims' files as well.

"The first time I looked at these victims on the map, none of it made sense. 7 different victims, various ages, sex, and ethnicity," Spencer started, prompting the others to stop and listen. "The first victim...often tells us the most. That would be Tommy Proctor."

Rossi picked up that specific file and saw various pages attached in the back. "Well, his rap sheet is longer than the Nile. It looks like he's always walked on the dark side."

"The first kill inspired him."

"What's different about it?" asked Hotch.

"Two things. First of all, his body wasn't found for days. He was buried deep in the building. That often tells us that they know each other. Not to mention it took many botched attempts to burn them."

"Was he stupid enough to think you could easily burn a human body?" Aitana crinkled her nose. She couldn't imagine what that first victim went through.

"Or it's overkill," said Rossi. "He wanted Proctor to suffer the most."

"Which definitely makes it personal," Hotch nodded.

"If he knew the first victim, it's a good chance he knew them all. We just have to find out how," Spencer said.

"Oh, oh, I can do that," Aitana raised her two index fingers in the air. "I'll call the latest victim's wife. That's what I do ri…" she trailed off when she met Spencer's gaze. He reminded her of what they spoke about earlier. "That's what I do," Aitana said with newfound reassurance. "That's what I do."

Spencer smiled. His smile widened when he heard her mumbling that to herself on her way out. She was trying which was what counted.

~0~

Aitana was prepared as much as she could be for the preliminary interview with the victim's wife. It was agreed that she would start it while Rossi took note of the woman's behavior from outside. He would then conduct the full interview. Aitana thought it was much better than throwing her into a first full interview. Baby steps. She was definitely okay with baby steps.

She took in a breath before entering the room where the woman would be waiting. "Hi, how are you doing?"

The wife was, naturally, shaken up. "Uh...I'm fine. Uh, I'm here to see Agent Rossi."

"Yes, of course, he's going to be with you in just a few minutes," Aitana came to the empty chair in front of the woman. "I'm Agent Serrano."

"Oh, I'm Kiersten Torrell. Uh...my husband Tony was killed last night."

"Yes, I'm very sorry about that. May I sit down?"

"Oh, yeah. Are-are you working on his case?"

"I am, we are."

Kiersten noticed the fine in Aitana's hand. "Is there a picture of him in your folder? I want to see him."

As new as she was, Aitana knew that was a huge no. She couldn't imagine how Kierston would react to seeing her husband's charred corpse. "Kiersten, uh, your husband was very badly burned. I don't think that's a good idea."

Confusion flashed across Kierston's eyes. "What do you mean, he was burnt?"

No one's told her. Aitana wished Rossi would've warned her about that. It would've been nice to be prepared. Maybe that was the point. Baby steps included small challenges that she had to overcome. "Umm, I'm so sorry but...the person who did this uses fire as a weapon."

That confusion turned into realization real quick. "Was Tony set on fire alive?"

"We...we're not sure…"

Kierston brought her hand to her mouth. "Oh, my God. Oh, my God, this can't be happening. Ohh…" Aitana hated the tears that were springing in the woman's eyes. "Next week was our anniversary."

"I'm really sorry," Aitana said. She racked her head for anything more useful to say but she was almost sure that there was nothing better to say. She'd been on the other side when one of her grandfathers passed away. All the 'I'm sorry's' were nice to hear because it meant support from others, but it didn't stop the pain that came with death.

"Are you married?" Kierston asked her,l as she tried to clean up her tears.

"No, I'm not," Aitana shook her head. "I can't imagine what you're going through. But everything you tell us can help us find the person who did this to Tony. I know this is hard, but I want you to try to remember that when you're talking to Agent Rossi."

Kierston nodded fervently. "Mm-hmm."

"Okay, he'll be right in," Aitana rose from her seat. She felt like she was leaving awkwardly and wondered if that was something she would need to work on too. When she stepped out, she met with Rossi who'd been attentively paying attention from the window. "You could've mentioned that she didn't know how her husband died."

"Baby steps," Rossi said, making her smile.

Confirmed. Aitana sighed and handed him the file. "I guess I should pay attention now?"

"That would be a good idea." Rossi plucked the file from her hand and went for the door.

Aitana couldn't help but smile to herself. She made her way to the window and paid very close attention.

~0~

Rossi and Aitana returned from the interview and Rossi relayed everything that Kierston had told him to the team. The only one who seemed to take the news negatively was the Captain of the precinct, Garner.

"You make him sound like he's Freddy Krueger or something!" he exclaimed.

"No, but I do think he's severely burned," Rossi clarified. The way Kierston described the possible Unsub left no other alternative.

"It explains why he chooses this time of the year," Spencer added. "He doesn't have to hide his scars."

"What about his victims?" Garner demanded. Nothing was making sense.

"He's punishing them for wronging him," Hotch said, but it wasn't the answer Garner expected.

"Wronging him? What about his second victim?" He grabbed the only female victim's picture amongst the pile on the table. "Have you looked at Josephine Davis' life? She was the nicest woman in the world. How did she wrong this guy?"

"It doesn't have to make sense to us, just the Unsub," Aitana said quietly. She didn't want to go back and forth with Garner. She understood his disbelief and if she'd been on the other side, she would probably be acting like him too.

"He's had interactions with all of his victims, some more personal than others," Emily said.

"So he's acting out of revenge," Garner resolved. "Kiersten and Tony didn't even speak to him."

"Maybe not that night, but at some point in the past," Morgan said to make him really grasp the picture.

"Now, wait a minute," Rossi said once something stood out from the victims files. "Josephine was abducted from her husband. Tony was abducted from his wife."

"You think these couples represent the happiness he covets?" Emily wondered.

"Or something he lost," Morgan added the other possibility. "He's a young guy with a deformity. Major insecurities come with that. A trauma like that would be devastating for him and anyone in his life."

"Is anyone else bothered by his choice of weapon?" Aitana stuck a fingernail between her teeth as she skimmed those particular lines. "Isn't it rare for an arsonist to be a burn victim themself?"

"It's less than 3.5%," Spencer didn't fail to make the exact calculation for them.

"This guy's not an arsonist. He's a serial killer who uses fire," Morgan reminded them. "And that choice of weapon tells us that he's aggressive, driven, and destructive, just like fire itself."

"But why would someone so controlling choose the most unpredictable weapon?" Garner inquired.

"This juxtaposition tells us there's more going on with him than we realize," Emily told him. "He's probably experienced some kind of loss these past few years that started him down this path."

"We should look at accidents where couples were burned," Hotch decided after listening to them. "Focusing on ones where gasoline was the accelerant."

A moment later, Morgan felt his phone buzzing in his pocket.

"Right, so, he's not an arsonist but the places that this guy's picking…" Aitana began, "Based on what Emily and Rossi said, could those places be related to whatever accident happened to him?"

"Leaving his victims in the heart of Rivertown, in the center of these buildings themselves, may be subconscious on his part, but it says that this affected his very core," Emily basically confirmed Aitana's suspicions.

"All right, hold on. Somebody else has just been abducted," Morgan said after reading the text Penelope sent him.

"How do we know this is our guy?" Garner asked just in a chance that this wasn't yet another victim doomed to be burned.

Unfortunately, it was.

"Because his daughter said a monster took her daddy away."

In a short moment, they had Penelope on speaker for the whole room to listen in. "The victim's name is Christopher Edwards. He's 35. He lives in the suburbs. Birmingham."

"How far is that from the Rivertown District?" Hotch turned to Garner.

"Not more than 40 minutes."

Hotch nodded. "He might already be inside. Let's lock it down."

"We'll trap him," Garner was the first one to head for the door.

"I'll go with you," Hotch called and soon had Emily with him as well. "Garcia, have Detroit P. D. set up roadblocks!"

"Got it!" Penelope dutifully exclaimed then hung up.

"The rest of you, try to weed out the identity of the unsub," Hotch said before he was gone.

Aitana was pretty sure that somehow they got the harder task.

~ 0 ~

Aitana had felt her phone buzz a couple times in her pocket while she was getting some coffee. She nicked her phone out without checking the ID. "Serrano," she promptly answered.

"Hey! It's Garcia—you probably already knew that…" Penelope awkwardly paused, that wasn't how she envisioned the phone call going.

"Did you find something new, Garcia?" Aitana focused on putting the creamer into the coffee.

"Um, just the last known address of Kaman…"

"Great, you can text it right? My hands are a bit full right now."

"Of course, sure."

"Great, bye." Aitana was about to pull her phone from her ear when Penelope anxiously called her to wait.

"I was just, um, you said you were going to be Alice in Wonderland for Halloween?"

"Yup, that's the plan."

"If you...need some blue bows...I have some, if you want." For all the talking she usually did, Penelope couldn't find the right ones to say.

Aitana sighed. She recognized the attempts Penelope often made to get back in her good Grace's. "I don't think I'll need them, thanks."

"Well, if you change your mind, let me know. I know you're having a party with your family so…"

"Not with the family...not anymore," Aitana stuck the lid on her coffee cup.

"What?" Penelope blinked. "Not...not anymore? Did something happen?" For a moment she wondered if Aitana didn't want to be around her family again. Last time she heard, Aitana was trying to mend her relationship with her parents.

For that reason, Aitana decided to explain. She didn't want Penelope believing things that weren't true. "No, not really. They're just flying out to Mexico for Día de los Muertos. We always do that but since I took this job…"

Penelope understood then. "You can't go. Sorry."

"That's actually one thing you don't have to apologize for," Aitana remarked. "They're flying out so...it'll just be me and Elia."

"O-okay." Penelope felt the incessant urge to apologize again.

"Gotta go," Aitana promptly said then hung up.

~0~

The slow night of little clues suddenly turned into the very opposite. The team knew exactly who they were searching for: Kaman Scott. They discovered the links between the victims and since they were all for exacting revenge, they were sure there had to be one more person on that list—the most important person to Kaman.

"Ma'am, are you sure we shouldn't address the press at all?" The Sergeant of the precinct was trailing after Aitana down the bullpen.

From the conference room, Rossi and Spencer were watching it with the exact same amusement.

"Shouldn't we try to help her?" Spencer did ask after a moment of feeling guilty.

"Baby steps," was all Rossi had to say. Besides that, a phone call drew their attention away anyways.

"Captain Garner called to inform us that the suspect is on the loose," the Sergeant was still saying and because Aitana didn't want him to follow her into the conference room, she turned around to meet him.

"I heard," she assured him. "But I've done my thinking and if he's as devolving as I think he is, it's best not to give him the spotlight." Because according to Emily and Morgan, there was no one in the address Penelope gave them for Kaman's home.

"But what about the people? Don't they have a right to know?"

"Of course but if I go out and tell them there's an unsub who's ready to burn down anything at this point, do you really think it'll keep order on the streets?" Aitana folded her arms over her chest. "I'll also go ahead and remind you it's pre-Halloween."

The Sergeant began to deflate. "I guess…"

"The last thing I want is for someone to get in the unsub's way and become a potential victim. So, in conclusion, we're leaving the press out of it." Aitana smiled a tight-lipped smile then turned to continue on her way for the conference room. She was two steps away when both Rossi and Spencer walked out. "What's happened?"

"Another victim," Rossi said and led the way.

The victim, just like all the others, turned out to have ties with Kaman. The location, however, was a bit odd. He'd been running around the street, getting mauled over by the cars in the process, until one car struck him and forced him to the ground. They were slightly lucky in that Kaman had left behind his trusty van. And it was 'slightly lucky' because…

"This is in terrible condition," remarked Aitana after getting sight of the front side. The seats were nearly torn and she wouldn't be surprised if the driving wheel snapped off with a hard turn.

"Come look in the back," called Spencer.

She came around to see what he and Rossi were staring at. "Ah, lovely...there's a cage." Kaman must have thrown his victims into the cage like dogs and locked them up while he drove around the city.

"Chris Edwards fired Kaman from the diner 7 months ago," Hotch started briefing the trio joined him by the ambulance. "Anything in the van?"

"Welding equipment, cans of gasoline…" Rossi listed.

"And a cage," Spencer said the lucky words that got Garner moving his team to the spot.

"Without his car, he's going to lie in wait until he can't anymore," Hotch said, his face falling grim. "Then he's gonna lash out again."

~ 0 ~

Indeed Kaman would lash out. Penelope was quick to come in with the much needed information to connect the dots. Hotch and Garner would take the lead to the next victim's home, the once girlfriend of Kaman. The rest would follow in the cars behind.

"Sorry. I keep trying the Anderson house, but the line's busy," Penelope was connected to everyone on the drive to the victim's home.

"Not surprising," Emily said from the passenger's seat. "He must already be there."

"Garcia, have any fires been reported in the area?" they heard Hotch through the other SUV.

"Negative, but medics and fire suppression are on the way."

"Good. Tell them to stand by."

"Roger that. Um, guys, there's one more thing I gotta tell you."

Everyone picked up on Penelope's reluctance.

"Now's a good time as ever, baby girl," Morgan said. The others in the car felt the increase of speed he put on the pedal.

"Tracy had a son," Penelope eventually said. She sounded breathless, probably still in shock from her discovery.

"Kaman doesn't know that, he might burn his own son." Aitana then wished for Morgan to pick up the speed on that pedal.

'Your man wants everyone to hold their position.' Garner's voice filled the communications line. 'We need a single rifle. I say again, all units, hold your position.'

Morgan stopped the car at a safe distance from the lucky home. For a moment, everyone was silent.

"Hotch is going inside," Rossi said what they were all thinking. If a little boy was involved, there was no way Hotch wouldn't attempt to go into that house.

"And he's on his own," Morgan muttered.

"Hotch won't do anything to spin him," Spencer said, hoping to quell their nerves.

"It's not Kaman I'm worried about," Rossi admitted. "This isn't his first time at the dance. We gotta trust him on this."

Aitana knew that she could trust in Hotch, but the nerves didn't die so quickly. Maybe it was the lack of time she'd known him—which was very plausible—or maybe it was the mere thought of a child in danger of getting burned. Either one seemed right. She was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't hear the first time they gave the all-clear. They arrested Kaman and managed to keep everyone else safe, including the little boy.

~0~

"Is there ever a point where you can get used to this type of stuff?" Aitana would ask later on the trip home. Her eyes flickered to Hotch sitting opposite of her. "You have a son, don't you?"

Hotch nodded. "You don't necessarily get used to it but...you learn to live with it. The key is to focus on the important things."

"And what would that be?" Aitana waited for anyone to respond. She would love to get different perspectives.

"The people you manage to save, first of all," Emily was the first to answer. "That always helps."

"Save someone, you save their life, you give the world a person that might not have made it because of you," Morgan added, and a good point too. Aitana smiled lightly.

"It also makes you appreciate your own life a bit more," Rossi said, smiling himself. "The little things, especially."

Aitana chuckled. "It might be ironic from me, though. It's no secret that my life isn't exactly put together at the moment." She let her head turn in Spencer's direction, sharing a knowing look with him. He definitely knew something about that. "Still, you guys are right. Oh, and you know what, Rossi? I can appreciate something this weekend: I get to celebrate Halloween for the first time in a long time."

"There you go, kid," Rossi pointed at her.

"Yeah, that means Pretty Boy can even go see that spooky ghost show too," Morgan shot Spencer a teasing smirk.

"It's not a ghost show!" Spencer frowned, completely missing the tease. "And I'm not sure what I'm doing, I haven't decided."

"What about you?" Emily asked Aitana while the other two bickered with each other. "You and Elia are still hosting?"

"Sort of," shrugged Aitana. "My family managed to get earlier plane tickets to Mexico for Día de los Muertos. It's a whole tradition, we always went each year for those days. Be with the family, make altars…" She sighed. "But this year I told them my job is on-call and I couldn't go. It's fine," she added quickly before anyone could say anything. "It's better that I'm not going. I don't think I'm ready to be around so many people. I have a big family."

"Baby steps," reminded Rossi, making her chuckle.

"Yeah," she nodded.

~0~

When Aitana heard the knock on her open office door and saw Penelope, she made a move to get out of there quicker. "Just leave the files on the desk, please."

"Actually, I come bearing gifts," Penelope stepped inside and pulled her arms from behind her back.

Aitana looked up from her things to find Penelope holding a box...a pastry box. "Penelope, I don't mean to be rude but you really shouldn't have."

"I know you said that you weren't going to Mexico with your family for Día de Los Muertos and I felt really bad about that—"

Aitana swung her bag over her shoulder and moved around the desk. "Well, you shouldn't have. I didn't mean for it to be a pity story. I'm okay that they're gone."

"But it's an important celebration," Penelope said. "My stepfather was Hispanic and he showed my brother and I some of the altars that his family used to make. One of the best things that we would get was, um, Pan de Muerto?"

Aitana's eyes dropped to the box in Penelope's hands in realization. "Oh Penelope…"

"I know the recipes vary by region and I don't know where your family's from but this is the best bread I could find on a short notice. They say it's really good," Penelope all but swore on her life that what she said was true. "And it's fresh."

"When did you buy this?" Aitana shook her head with a sigh then walked up to Penelope. Even with the enclosed box, she could still smell the sweet bread inside.

"Earlier," Penelope's eyes darted everywhere but Aitana's figure. She was overly nervous. "I thought maybe you and Elia might want to eat it."

Aitana sighed heavily. She brought a few fingers to rub her forehead. "Penelope Garcia you make it really hard…"

Penelope dressed the big mistake she must have made. "Sorry, sorry, I just thought it would be nice and maybe a way to feel close to your family while they're gone."

Aitana nodded. "You make it really hard to stay angry with you," she finally got her sentence out.

Penelope blinked in surprise. "What?"

Aitana smiled slightly. "Spencer made it easier because he didn't talk to me, much less give me gifts. That's not to say that I expect gifts every time we have a fall-out. This—" she waved at the box, "—is a really thoughtful gift, thank you."

Penelope's lips curled into a wide smile. "You're very welcome! And while I have you in a good mood, I need to apologize again. I should've never touched that journal. I shouldn't have read it."

Aitana motioned her to stop talking. "You know what? Maybe it's best to just leave that in the past. I've been finding ways to move on from Witness and I think this journal's a part of that. I need to stop spending time on that. Thinking about it isn't going to help me anymore. I just want to move on now."

"Okay," Penelope nodded. "You'll never hear about it from my lips again."

Aitana thanked her. "You know, Elia and I can't possibly finish this bread by ourselves. Do you think you can help us there?"

Penelope raised an eyebrow at her. "Are you...are you inviting me?"

Aitana chuckled. "Like I said, my family is gone so Elia and I aren't really having a party. She called me and told me that she bought a bag of candy for trick-or-treaters instead. If you want...you can come and we can have a little get-together ourselves? Maybe pass out some candy to trick-or-treaters too?"

Penelope's face lit up to match that of a jack o' lantern. "I would love to!"

"Great, I'll wait for you then."

"Yeah, yeah, I'll be quick! I just have to get my stuff!" Penelope deposited the pastry box into Aitana's hands and hurried for the door. Aitana laughed and followed behind. "I will be quick, I promise! Be right back!" She nearly sprinted down the bullpen, ignoring Spencer's and Emily's questioning calls.

"What's she so excited about?" Emily asked before noticing the box Aitana carried. "And what's that?"

"Umm, Penelope knows about my family being gone for the weekend and she got me Day of the Dead bread," Aitana shifted the box in her arms.

"So are you two okay, then?" Spencer asked her, already smiling at the prospect.

Aitana nodded. "Yeah, I just feel bad about this…"

"If you feel bad, feel free to hand the bread over," Emily extended her hands for the box.

Aitana chuckled. "No, um, she was really sweet and went out to buy the freshest bread she could find on short notice…"

"But…?" Spencer motioned her to finish what she clearly was reluctant to.

Aitana smiled with full guilt. "My parents own a bakery— a panadería—so I already have bread waiting for me at home."

Emily laughed. "Oh, Garcia…"

"Yeah, I won't tell her about this until after we finish the bread."

Spencer was thoughtful for a moment, tilting his head. "Wait a minute, is that where you got my donut the other day?" Aitana nodded at him. "I wondered where you got one so fresh at such a late hour."

"I called in a favor," she shrugged. "My parents don't really make those, they're not very popular there." She might as well have said something catastrophic.

"What!? Those are the best donuts!" Spencer huffed.

"Not in that neighborhood!"

"Those are some questionable tastes, then!"

Aitana rolled her eyes. "Oh calm down, I'll hook you up later."

"I'm ready!" Penelope came rushing back in with her things. "You didn't change your mind, did you?"

"Of course not," Aitana said.

"C'mon! We've got to get in costume! And I have your bows, Alice!"

"You came prepared with a costume?" Aitana's eyes widened a bit.

"With this job, you have to be. Now c'mon!" Penelope waved quickly at Emily and Spencer then motioned Aitana to get going.

"Happy Halloween," Aitana barely had time to say to the pair before Penelope called again.

Some of the books in MJ's library

Taj Jackson shared that his famous uncle loved the book The Law of Success by Napoleon Hill. He says Jackson loved this book and owned several copies of it.

According to biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli, in the early 80s, Jackson gave copies of the book The Autobiography of P.T. Barnum to both his lawyer and manager and told them, "Make this your Bible. I want my life to be the greatest show on earth."

Same person with the Nena ask. If they did Resistance season 3 and continued improving (my opinions on season 1 are kinda mixed but season 2 was actually better, wish it had a third season to tie up the lose ends) what would you see?

tam, kaz, neeku and yeager being a family again, and tam and yeager actually talking about their commuication problems and fixing them along with kaz and them apologising to tam for not telling her the truth

outfit changes cause why not

maybe kaz leaving the colossus for real and heading to the resistance and seeing poe again. since most people on the colossus don’t want to join the resistance doza would find some nice planet to park the colossus for real and then kaz would leave. Maybe tam, neeku and yeager would go with him and then doza, torra and the aces would stay with the colossus while team fireball would meet up with the resistance again. But then Venisa is part of the resistance as well so maybe she and tora and would go to the resistance idk either way I think team fireball should officially join the resistance.

tam getting her own ship its about time

exploring the possibility that elia is force sensitive, cause she definitely is.

neeku meeting up with neena again and helping her escape the first order and maybe she joins them from now on or she joins the resistance.

seeing poe&bb8 again, and a finn cameo yes. like Kaz doing a mission for the resistance and meeting up with Poe and poe saying “I’m bringing my partner with me” and then finn appears whew

showing synara being cool with her colossus family maybe helping doza run it now that yeager is gone also seeing doza missing yeager yes i said it

meeting Kaz’s family since somehow they all survived the attack from the first order and maybe forcing him to leave the resistance but kaz ultimately saying that fighting back is the right thing to do and stays with the resistance

confirming that flix and orka are married

canon neekaz

canon venisa x doza x yeager yes i said it

maybe a rey cameo cause why not or just a mention of her at least. 

i guess season 3 could be the year between tlj and tros, from Kaz’s pov, and then the s3 finale would be just before tros, or the events of tros from Kaz, and team fireball pov since they said that Kaz, Torra, and Yeagers ships were at the final battle. 

anyway i wish they did a s3 cause s2 ended so abruptly and we just got tam back and i want to see them all together again so dave if you see this just one more season man pls

#answered #star wars resistance #resistance deserves a s3 yes i said it #Anonymous #okay this is an ask it looks like im talking to myself skksk

The Only One

Episode 6

prev | Fic Masterlist | My Masterlist | next

Summary: Elia's background starts to be revealed. Leia explains the energy flow. Poe is missing and panic ensues. We catch up to the events of The Force Awakens (but don't worry, I'm not retelling the films)

Pairing: Poe Dameron x female original character. Fic is written in second person, but the female "you" has a name (It reads basically the same as any other xreader)

Word Count: 1.8k

Content: angst-ish, self-worth probs, not beta'd

PREVIOUSLY on "The Only One"...

"Ells!" He called after you, "You kissed me."

"Bye, Poe!" You repeated, scurrying toward base.

Laughter bubbled up and erupted from his chest as he said goodbye back to you.

He let you go. For now.

Something was wrong.

Poe had yet to return from his top secret mission, and everything inside of you was screaming that something was dreadfully, terribly not okay.

So you mustered the courage to approach to Leia, actually desperate enough to chance her discovering the things you could sense.

"I know he's on a mission. Something's wrong."

Leia confirmed that they'd lost all contact with Commander Dameron and his X-wing had been destroyed.

Your heart thundered inside your chest.

"The First Order has him."

Five words sent you spiraling.

Despite Leia's orders to stand down, you flourished into well more than a nuisance for hours upon end - hovering around comms, all but demanding updates, making a beeline for the hangar to convince anyone might fly you anywhere (They all said no).

You talked Perrha's ear off several times over, obsessively hypothesizing about every single thing that could have awry and why and how it could have gotten this bad for Poe.

Perrha was your best friend besides Poe, but even they started to reach their limit. Grasping your shoulders, Perrha commanded you to just stop talking for two seconds.

"You have to sleep. You have to trust everyone to do their jobs. Poe is strong - he can make it through this," they pleaded with you. "You're going to drive yourself crazy, obsessing like this."

You realized exactly what Perrha meant in that moment. You were driving them crazy.

Which made you start to cry. You stormed off without another word, despite Perrha calling after you.

Which brought you back to Leia.

She invited you into her private office with the promise of something warm to drink. You complied, fully aware her invitation was not exactly a request.

Presenting you with a small cup of tea, she smiled warmly, but the gesture didn't reach her eyes - troubled dark orbs pooling with the anxiety you felt inside.

"How are you feeling, Elia? I'm worried about you."

The smell of the tea bothered you. The temperature was all wrong. You set the beverage on the nearest table and shoved it away.

"Have you heard anything from Poe? Or anyone?" You pleaded.

With a long sigh, Leia sat down across from you and leaned forward.

"I haven't yet. But I'm here to ask about you. How are you?"

Yanking on your backpack straps, you shook your head rapidly. "It doesn't matter." With that deflection, you closed yourself off from the energy flow, despite how strongly it pulsed here in the room with Leia.

Nodding slowly, Leia leaned back, observing you quietly.

Which you took as staring.

Which you hated.

Couldn't anyone understand?

"The Force is strong with you," Leia soothingly, yet boldly remarked. "I noticed it the first day you arrived here."

You physically shuddered as she practically called out your secret.

But... "The Force? What is that?" You forlornly questioned, your eyes fixed on your shoes - the intensity of her gaze feeling as if it possessed the power to unearth all your secrets.

You’d heard fables about the Force - myths when you were a little girl - an orphan drifting from planet to planet. One time you heard that the Force was wielded by the religious warriors known as Jedi, but those were just legends...right?

When you discovered your lineage - it explained your malformed back. Your kind were a type of demon. Humanoid in most respects, but with wings. Well, the start of wings anyway. Yours remained dormant - undeveloped because you had kept them hidden your entire life.

Your species also tended to live long lives, so you were relatively young and your wings wouldn’t have developed in years prior. For that to happen, you would have to stop hiding them, let them out of your backpack and allow them to start strengthening.

You would need to open yourself to the energy flow and exercise your budding wings for them to ever fully form. And you had no idea how long that would take.

Besides, you didn't want to be demonkind. You wanted to contain your wings and never let them grow. And you certainly never wanted to give into your species' dark past.

"You've never heard of the Force? Or the Jedi?" Leia gently questioned.

"A little," you confessed, shifting uncomfortably in your seat. "I thought they were fables."

This was the day you learned about the truth of the Force - the dark, the light and the Jedi. The short version, anyway. Leia even confessed to you that Poe was on a mission to recover a map that would lead to the last Jedi Master - her twin brother, Luke Skywalker.

The tale fascinated you, especially the part about the Force surrounding and binding all things.

But if your heritage was that of dark powers and magic, that made you....dangerous. The darkness must be what Leia called the Dark Side.

A part of you. It had to be. Why else would your ancestors have annihilated themselves with darkness and curses?

Your heart sank as you realized what this meant - that you were an enemy of the Resistance - of Leia, and of Poe.

At this realization, you completely shut down. You said nothing more, even as Leia tried to speak with you further, going so far as to explain that you could stretch out with your feelings - that perhaps you had done as much when you helped to partially heal Poe on your last mission together.

"We'll speak again soon," she relented, clearly noting your distress.

You had almost managed to scamper away when you heard your name.

"Elia? Don't lose hope," she softly encouraged.

Sniffling, you nodded. "I have hope...for Poe."

But none for yourself.

Poe returned the next day.

News rippled through base like a current electrifying everyone who heard it. Poe Dameron was alive - he had survived and somehow escaped capture by the First Order.

Apparently a stormtrooper defected and helped him escape. They crash landed and Poe scrambled his way back to D’Qar. But the map to Luke Skywalker was housed inside the memory systems of BB-8, who got separated from Poe on Jakku.

As the day went on, the entire base was getting ready for a rescue mission to Takodana - where BB-8 and this defective stormtrooper apparently fled.

Your job and skillsets kept you as busy as anyone, but your longing to see Poe again was consuming your thoughts. Keeping your mind focused on computers was as natural as breathing, but the disturbance you had felt in...the Force was so powerful.

Yes, what you had been feeling all your life had to be the Force. The stories really were true.

You were driving yourself crazy, needing to see with your own eyes that Poe was okay, but fearing the darkness you were apparently born to - and how it would ruin your friendship in the long run.

Maybe Leia could teach you how to overcome it. Maybe there really was hope.

If you could only see Poe, just for a moment…

But it was no use. The mission to Takodana commenced and he was gone again.

From there, the intensity of the looming First Order threat escalated exponentially.

When Poe returned to base, you finally laid eyes on him. He bolted by in his flight suit, with another man following closely behind him. You barely got a glance. You didn’t even have time to call his name, but you did see the cuts on his face.

Then the biggest news of all: the First Order’s super weapon was a planet killer - a system killer, actually. And this system was their next target.

Everyone scrambled and even your racing, obsessive thoughts zeroed in on this looming threat.

As quickly as the latest intel could be analyzed, the system-saving, critical mission was launched: the plan to destroy Starkiller base.

As Poe rushed to head out on the most important mission of his life, he could only wish he had time to see your face - just one more time, in case he didn’t make it back.

In case this mission failed, and you didn’t survive. But everything was happening so fast and you were as busy and as important as he was in this moment. He didn’t know where to find you and he didn’t have time to look.

Then there you were.

And time stood still for a moment.

Your chest heaved with emotion. Your eyes shone with moisture, the corners pulled down by worry. Your fingers twisted hopelessly in the frayed ends of your backpack straps. One of your twin hair buns had worked its way loose.

Poe had the thought that he’d never seen your hair down. He had no idea how long your hair actually was. He might never know.

“Poe?” Your voice was a choked whisper - the two of you suspended for a brief eternity - unmoving.

“Elia,” he breathed, hesitating only a second longer before rushing toward you, somehow restraining himself from scooping you up into his arms. Instead, he grasped both your hands and pulled them to his chest - although the act was less intimate in actuality, with him in full flight gear.

Still, his forehead dropped to yours and before he could say anything more, your hands squeezed his own before you pushed your fingers up over his throat to trace his jawline.

Fingertips danced tenderly around cuts and scrapes, until the pad of your thumb caressed his bottom lip - carefully avoiding the angry split marring his beautiful mouth.

“You’re hurt,” you gasped, smoothing your fingers over his cheeks as your eyes locked onto his.

“Nah, I’m okay. Still in one piece,” he almost chuckled, but the sound was a touch hollow. Tired.

Your eyes shone with sympathy as you reached to touch his temple. “They hurt you. Here.”

He didn’t quite know how to respond to that, except with what Leia had been known to say, on occasion. ‘We have no time for our sorrows.’

“I’m so sorry,” you uttered, with heartfelt conviction, before he could deflect, and insist he was fine.

“Thanks,” he decided the simple, direct reply was best. Besides, there was no time. His eyes cut over to the hangar and you knew then that your time was up.

“Gotta go blow up a big ass weapon,” he boyishly reported, shrugging one shoulder and mustering a tired grin.

“Yeah,” you agreed, releasing him and stepping back. “Don’t miss, okay?”

That earned you a real smile. “I won’t.” He reached out to squeeze your arms, hoping like hell he would see you again, that another war wouldn’t take someone else he…loved.

Without warning, he pressed a fierce kiss to your mouth then bolted away, leaving you stunned, thrilled and terrified.

He turned around one more time, granting you another sweet smile. “Wait for me, Ells. I’ll be right back.”

Somehow his humor and good nature gave you hope. Poe always gave you hope.

“May the Force be with you,” you whispered to no one really. Or, to all of them.

An Apology

I wasn’t going to tag anyone in my post about being back at tumblr because I didnt’ want to annoy anyone. But I do want to tag those I can  and apologize (I lost my most up to date tag list; so if you read this and feel it doesn’t really apply to you just disregard). I want to apologize because someone said they had worried about me, and it hit me how rude it was of me to up and delete my tumblr without saying bye to anyone or anything.

So I am sorry. Truly sorry. I hope I will be forgiven.

I won’t do that again. And if I get to a point where I’m  writing again ( I really hope I do) I won’t just up and delete the posts if the urge to quit hits. I plan to write smut free so there would be no reason to delete the stories.

I also want to say that my offer still stands for advice, or just an ear to listen. Whatever you need, my inbox is open (anon or not) and always will be.

Hope to talk to you guys soon!

~Steph

Princess (Poe Dameron x reader) part 1

A/N: Another multipart Poe x reader, I hope you enjoy it. Feedback is always welcome. No warnings I don’t think.

“Wow.”

The beauty of the planet quickly overtook the pilot as he drifted the transporter into the atmosphere. He was surprised to see the whole planet coated in a bright sunlight, multiple suns shining over the horizon, basking every tower and structure in a golden glow.

Every single thing about the planet was gorgeous. The trees reached high and far, every structure somehow reaching even taller. The architecture looked old but so intricate and every surface was covered in vines and flowers.

“It is beautiful, isn’t it?” The calm voice of the General spoke up from behind the curly haired pilot. He turned briefly just to confirm it was her before staring back out at the beautiful landscape.

“Every thing is so beautiful.” He added back, softer this time as he navigated through the tall buildings of the city. But as he moved through the city, the city began to fade away into more villages and market places. “How far is the palace outside the city?”

“Not far, you can’t miss it.” She added, watching the awe on the pilots face as he admires the landscape.

He was about to question what she meant by that but then the palace came into view over the horizon. A gorgeous building that seemed to go on for miles almost. The whole west side seemed to be a hub for ships, watching them fly in and out. But the opposite side was on the bay of a beach and ocean, surrounded by a market place. There was too much to focus on honestly. But one thing that couldn’t be missed was the giant statue of some woman in the expansive courtyard.

“Who is that?” He questioned as he maneuvered over to the west side, where all the ships were moving in and out.

“Their old queen, she’s dead now.” Leia explained as they flew into the hub, being directed to the upper level for parking.

“Who are we meeting with then?” He asked her, landing the ship and continuing to stare out at the beautiful expanse.

“The Princess, (Y/N).” She added as they walked out of the plane. They were both dressed in casual clothing, nothing marking them as resistance, knowing that the first order could be anywhere.

“She’s not the queen?” Poe questioned, stopping briefly to watch a flock of beautifully vibrant birds storm to the bay elegantly.

“The king is still alive, dying, but alive.” She continued, ushering Poe into the elevator, chuckling by how fascinated he was by the scenery.

“So the princess runs everything? Interesting.” He added, finally turning to face Leia.

“You better play nice, you know how much we need their sponsorship, we couldn’t survive with out it.” She added as they stepped out into the main hallway. People were casually mewling around, dressed in natural looking fabrics, flowers in their hands, ink covering their skin.

“Don’t worry, I will.” Poe comforted, following Leia as she approached another hallway where guards were standing outside.

“Elias? Is that you?” Leia questioned as she approached the man, heavily armed, stern look across his face. Though all his sternness faded away as he saw her walking towards him.

“Ah, Princess.” He smiled back, welcoming her with open arms. “I wasn’t expecting you.”

“We have a meeting with the Princess.” Leia explained but the guards face twisted with confusion.

“I’m sorry but she’s not here currently.” He explained.

“Where is She?” Poe questioned casually, drawing attention towards him.

“She often travels around our planet. This isn’t unusual, I mean, for her to forget she has meetings.” He explained.

Leia and Poe glanced at each other, suspicious of who they were doing business with.

“But, She should return soon, you’re welcome to wait for her in the throne room.” He added, sensing their apprehension, stepping aside to let them pass. “You remember the route, I’m sure?”

“Yes of course.” Leia comforted.

She began walking and Poe followed on her heels. Poe was growing overly suspicious, he didn’t trust a woman who couldn’t even remember her own meetings. Or who was actively trying to avoid them. Who’s side was she on.

“She forgot our meeting? And she runs this planet?” Poe questioned, turning Leia to face him as they stood down the hallway.

“She’s not away, her ship is still in the hanger.” Leia countered, surprising Poe.

“Why would he lie to us?”

“I don’t think he knows that he’s lying.” She added, taking a detour down another hallway instead of heading to the throne room as directed.

“You think she’s avoiding us?” Poe concluded as they continued down the long hall, arriving in one of the main passage ways filled with people.

“She’s probably already fielding offers from the first order. She’s a sweet kid, she probably is afraid to tell us no.” Leia nodded to a man passing them as they continued to walk towards the east wing of the palace. She hardly remembered the princess but if she was anything like her father, she could expect her to be nothing but sweet and kind. The more they walked, through halls and past open rooms, the less official things began to feel, suddenly it felt more as if they were in a market and not a palace.

“You think she’s here?” Poe questioned, now immersed in the busy market place, spotting the shore of the beach on the other side.

“I’m almost sure of it.” She added and they began to walk through the market, her eyes scanning the crowd for any sign of the princess. There wasn’t much Poe could do to help, not knowing what she looked like, but he was easily admiring the beautiful sun coated landscape.

They reached the end of the market place, standing on the shore when Leia casually pointed to the bank of the water. Poe looked over to where she was pointing and was struck with awe. There sat the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

He could hardly see her face but her smooth skin contrasted the cool white sand of the beach, making her shine. She was sitting alone, draped in a thinly strapped black dress, making her look like a natural beauty of the surrounding nature. He could see a long tattoo drawn down the line of her spine, he couldn’t make out what it was but it was long an intricate, stretching across her whole torso.

He must’ve been staring too long, because he didn’t realize Leia had began walking towards her. He quickly caught up but they were stopped by a guard who seemed to appear out of no where when they got close.

“She’s busy.”

Leia went to argue but the princess turned her attention to them, sighing deeply before turning back to stare at the water.

“It’s okay Xia, let them through.”

Poe eyed the guard carefully as they passed him and approached where she sat, casually draped in her dress across the sand.

“Princess.” Leia asked harshly as they approached her.

She looked up at them and Poe was mesmerized by her grey eyes, so light and pure seeming.

“I was hoping that by not being at the palace, you would get the feeling I didn’t want to meet with you.” Her smooth voice, vaguely accented, spoke out, her eyes returning to the sea.

“We did, we just ignored it.” Leia spoke and the princess laughed lightly.

“We.” She repeated, beginning to stand up, turning to face the two of them. “I wasn’t aware you were bringing friends.” Her words were just as pointed as her stare became, directed completely at Poe.

“I-“

“He’s my pilot, Commander Dameron.” Leia interrupted Poe’s chance to speak for himself, knowing he could piss her off easily. She was able to spot quickly that they were on thin ice with the princess.

“Commander Dameron? Does he have a first name?” She questioned Leia jokingly, but face straight and determined.

“Poe.” He commented, drawing her stare back to him.

“Well, Poe, if you could leave us to talk. You might as well wait by the ship you came in, I don’t imagine it will be a long conversation.” She spoke slyly as he frowned.

“Actually-“

“I was actually thinking he could join us.” Leia added, again cutting him off, not allowing him the chance to speak to her directly.

“Really?” She said, face remaining stoic. “Doesn’t seem like he’d be much for conversation.”

Poe huffed out annoyedly but Leia held a hand up to stop him from responding yet again, but he wouldn’t let her comments go undefended.

“I am one of her highest ranking commanders.” Poe noted, trying not to sound bitter, knowing it would only anger Leia who need this mission to go well.

“Im sure.” She added as she began walking away from them, easily expecting them to follow, which after a few seconds, they did. “As you can imagine, your being here has put me in an unfavorable position.” She explained, weaving effortlessly through the market place as they followed her back to the palace trying to keep up.

“We don’t wish to cause you discomfort Princess, but it is a rather important conversation we need to have.” Leia argues back as they struggle to follow her through the crowds.

Poe kept his eyes staring directly at her back, using it as a marker to chase her through the crowd eagerly trying to keep up, Leia at his side.

“That’s funny, I swore I very clearly conveyed my position over our last call.” She stopped walking and waited for them to catch up, standing in front of a booth with children selling fruit.

“I was hoping that a face-to-face meeting would allow us to change your mind.” Leia explained but the princess was no longer looking at her, now paying her full attention to the children at the booth.

She had grabbed a small pouch of shining coins from her guard and crouched in front of the children. The children quickly began to kneel in front of her but she waved their greeting of respect off. “How much for a pouch of the Mewe?” She questioned.

“Free for you, my princess.” The child in front told her but she shook her head in a laugh, this being the first time Poe had seen her crack her stoic disposition.

“That’s no way to run a business.” She spoke easily, the child smiled, gesturing for one of the other children to prepare a pouch.

“Four.” He responded and she smiled back, passing him the necessary shiny coins. He in return, handed her a pouch of the fruit she requested.

Standing back up with it, she handed her coins back to her guard and began walking, Leia and Poe following behind again. When they reached the edge of the palace, she led them to a more quiet and not as crowded hallway before turning back to them.

Reaching into the bag, she flipped a fruit at Poe with a stoic face, then gently handed one to Leia.

“It’s a Mewe, one of our sweetest fruits. You can only find them here. They can’t grow anywhere else because they need massive amounts of sunlight.” The Princess explained, pulling one out for herself and easily taking a bite out of it.

Poe tried to notice the way the juice dripped down her chin from the corner of her mouth. So he adverted his eyes to Leia who had taken her own bite, eyes imploring him to do the same.

So he took his own bite was overwhelmed by the amazing taste instantly. He grew up with the same foods his whole life, nowadays stuck with whatever bland ration packs the resistance was supplied with. He hadn’t ever tasted anything so sweet.

She quickly took notice of his reaction, a smirk now cracking her hardened exterior.

“This is one of the many things that makes my planet not only unique but extraordinary.” She explained as the two of them watch her take another chaste bite.

“We don’t disagree-“

“I think you do.” She responded, interrupting Leia. “You would have me pledge my sponsorship to your futile movement and sacrifice my whole planet to the wrath of the horrid first order. You do this, with nothing to offer me in return. You just hold tight to the idea that long lasting relations are infallible.” She spoke back with nothing but composure despite speaking so passionately.

“We can offer your planet protection.” Leia added, “putting you safe and on the right side of history.”

“Because that worked so well for Alderaan or the Hosnian System?” She countered rudely, elevating tensions with her low blow. “You can’t protect yourselves, how do you expect to protect my planet.”

“So you’d rather pledge allegiance to a murderous sociopathic regime?” Poe questioned rudely, fed up with her attitude.

“I’d do whatever it takes to save my people.” She argued back, turning her full attention towards him. “We are a peaceful planet, there is not much we can do to arm ourselves outside of diplomacy, and right now, the First Order is being very convincing.”

“They’re lying to you.” Poe argued heartedly, surprising her with his attitude, she wasn’t used to this kind of outward disrespect.

“And you’ve been doing what exactly for the past years of our alliance?” She questioned, stepping up against Poe in a fit of annoyance.

“Whatever they’re promising you, they’re lying. They’ll exploit your home, steal your resources and take over. You have to know that.” Poe argued back, stepping forward and backing Leia unwillingly out of the conversation.

“They’ve promised me protection and have been nothing but cordial, unlike you.” She said, shaking her head with a chuckle of disbelief, stepping back away a foot to clear the air between them. “So I would watch your tone before you overstep.”

“You’re worried about niceness? People are dying.” He didn’t think he was as loud as he was, but people began to take notice. “The first order is manipulating you and you’re letting them.” Poe argued back loudly, taking another step towards her, grabbing her arm to stop her, though it soon looked like it might be the last step he would take as the guards stepped up from behind the princess. Leia stopped his movement before the guards even got there, reigning him back.

“Stand down, Dameron.” Leia ordered strongly, pulling him back as the guards approached.

“No, I think the damage has been done, General.” She added, brushing a long strand of her hair from her face before waving the guards all the way forward, watching intently as they each grabbed for one of the pilot’s arms.

“What the hell are you doing?” Poe asked violently as he tried to rip his arms away.

“Your highness, please-“ Leia attempted but it was clear the princess wasn’t having it.

“Let him think over his words with a sleep in our jail.” She argued back, dismissing her guards who pulled Poe away kicking and fighting but no match for her strong guards.

“Are you out of your mind?” Poe shouted, attracting attention but she looked un-phased.

“No but seems like you are.” She argued back before turning to face Leia. “I’m sorry, but you brought him here. You can leave with him after he’s learned his lesson.”

She walked off, gently grabbing a worker and ordering them to direct Leia to a room for her to stay in, not wanting her brought by guard out of respect, not wanting to make her feel like a prisoner.

She walked back to the throne room, directing the assistants that quickly swarmed her to make Leia feel at home and give her regular updates on her new prisoner. Then she eagerly dismissed them, allowing her some alone time in her throne room.

The room had high ceilings and huge windows, ushering in the glow of the planet, covering her dark wooded chair. She collapsed into the chair as her minions dispersed, releasing a heavy sigh, rubbing her temples.

She wanted to agree with Leia and the hot headed pilot, she really did. She wasn’t ignorant, she knew the resistance was the morally right choice in terms of saving the Galaxy but she had to think about her people and her planet.

The first order members she had been communicating with ensured that her planet would be safe as long as they promised to turn away the resistance and provide safe harbor for some of their ships.

What was she supposed to do?
