Your Hearts Desire Part 3 ( Final Part)

With Great Power

ALEX

As I waited for Bill to come back, I felt the anger building up inside me. I was on the verge of slipping, trying my best to hold it in because I have the kids to think about. I was angry at Bill and furious at Kylo. How could he leave me like that? We stay together always, he promised me. Blake pulled on my shirt, and I let her climb onto my lap. "Mommy, do you think Daddy's ok?" I scoffed but quickly corrected myself. "He better be, or mommy's gonna be really mad." She sniffled and buried her head in my chest.

I stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head. Elias came to stand beside us, and I tucked him on the other side. "Come here, kid." He looked up at me with his mother's eyes. "Daddy's been gone a long time." He whispered. I looked at my communicator strapped to my arm. "Your right, buddy." I couldn't wait any longer. "I think I'll go make sure he's ok." The kids climbed off my lap. "You two are to stay RIGHT HERE. If you move from this spot ill tan your hides. GOT IT." Blake nodded, clearly unfazed, while Elias blinked and sat down a little nervous. I knocked a couple of times on the door, and Cardo opened it. "My Queen." He bowed as I stepped out.

"Is there something I can do for you?" He asked, the sound garbled through his helmet. "I'm going to see what's taking Bill so long," I stated with as much authority as I could muster. "I was given strict orders to keep you and the children safe," He recited his rehearsed reply, and I growled, giving him a death stare. "Well, answer me this, Cardo, who is going to keep YOU safe from me?" I sensed his confusion and then his fear. "Move now," I said. He stepped out of the way, letting me pass. Before I left, I gave him the same warning I gave the kids telling him if he moved from this spot, he would be dead because I would kill him. I made sure to make that part very clear.

As I got closer to home, the air was getting colder. A few spots on the wall were covered in ice. "What the hell is going on?" I pushed my helmet over my head and tucked my gloves into my sleeves. I opened my door and was almost sucked into space, but thankfully the force kept me in place once I got my bearings anyway. My home was destroyed. Everything gone. I paled, realizing Bill was in here. Oh my God, Bill, I slowly moved to the other side of the room and looked out at the furniture and scraps of metal that littered space, and there I saw him frozen eyes closed and a soft smile on his face. I screamed, the sound lost in the void. It took all I had not to sink to my knees and sob. He was someone I cared so much about, and now he was nothing. I was filled with such raw emotion I could feel my control slipping. Before I knew what was happening, the force took hold of my body, building a warm shield coating my body. It was like I could see it shaping around me. I felt warm, and I realized the more I focused on the warmth, the warmer it got, but It didn't burn. Blue flames now surrounded my body, and I lashed my hands out, and Bill started moving towards me. I felt something more potent than I've ever felt before. It made me feel...incredible.

Eventually, I had pulled him inside and floated him out behind me, closing the door. Once inside, I was now fully engulfed in flames. I could hear people around me trying to do something about it. They took Bill and rushed him away. My mind was all over the place; I could hear every thought on the ship. I don't think even Kylo can do that. It was overwhelming. I clutched the sides of my head, and the flames got more intense, turning a deeper shade of blue. A doctor approached me, catching me off guard. I held out my hand to asked her to back away, and a stream of flame shot out from my palm, setting her on fire. The smell of her flesh burning ingrained in my mind. "What is happening to me?" I cried, and when I did, the flames got hotter, and my mind became cloudy, but one voice cut through all the rest.

Baby, calm down...

I can't...I don't know what's happening.

It's ok. I can help you.

I'm scared...Where are you?

Don't worry, baby. I'm right here.

The more he spoke, the more I calmed down. I could feel the flames start to dissipate, and my temperature dropped back down to normal, and soon I was myself again. I took in the chaos around me. It was like a nuke had gone off, and people were being put onto gurneys burnt to almost nothing. I covered my mouth and took several steps back, shocked to see what I had done in a matter of minutes. Kylo approached me cautiously. I could sense his mind just as easily as snapping my fingers. It was strange I usually can't break through his barrier. He's the one teaching me how to block him. He was...afraid of me.

"You're scared of me..." I mumbled, my hands still shaking. "I'm not afraid of you." He replied, but I could tell he was lying. "Yes, you are. I can read your mind." I could feel my hands getting hot again. My emotions were running wild. "Listen, you need to calm down." He approached me again. "DONT LIE TO ME," I screamed, making everyone back up as the flames shot from my hand surrounding me once more. He waved his arm and threw up a shield, so the fire didn't reach anyone. It was all around me but now contained in a bubble. I sat down and tried to calm myself, and it was only when the knights walked down the hall with the kids that my mood shifted I could sense their fear. Blake was confused and wanted to know why mommy was on fire. When she locked eyes with me, the flames completely vanished, and a few minutes later, when Kylo was sure I was calm, he brought down the shield, and Blake ran to his side. "It's alright. Mommy just got a little upset." He picked her up, petting her hair. "Where's Daddy?" Elias asked, a little worried. Kylo picked him up too and carried him off to the medical ward leaving me behind to kneel on the floor. He ordered me to go to our old room and wait for him there. I did as I was told for once, too tired and upset to do anything to fight him on it.

A few hours went by, and he came back without the children. I could still hear his mind crystal clear he had kept them overnight in the children's ward under the protection of the knights. We used to do this when we wanted a night alone, and Blake always had fun with the other kids, so I had no doubt Elias would as well. I was still heartbroken over Bill sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at my hands in disgust. Kylo sat down on the bed beside me, and I broke, rolling my head onto his shoulder. "What's wrong with me?" I sobbed, unable to control my emotions. He soothed me, pulling me closer to him. I could feel that he was relieved and happy to be touching me again, less optimistic about why but still glad to have his hands on me. "I can hear your every thought, and what the hell was that fire. I'm scared...Oh my, God and Bill...Is he ok?" He paused. "He's alright...I know...it's a miracle, but something you did with that fire is bringing him slowly back. He's in a coma, but the doctor is hopeful, and all we can do is wait." Kylo seemed nervous but curious that I could get through his mental block. "As for the fire, I've heard that long ago, a Jedi master could do it. He was the only one, but that was a long time ago. You clearly have an emotional trigger that brings out your power. It's fascinating. Seeing Bill must have set you off." I nodded, agreeing with him. "We can do some research, but I must say you have an extraordinary power inside you, Alex, much more than I thought you were capable of. We just need to be cautious." He said, checking my hands for evidence of burns and finding none. "I know with great power comes great responsibility," I mumbled, quoting Spiderman. He, as usual, didn't understand the reference. "Are you afraid of me?" I asked, not knowing if I wanted to hear the answer. "No." He was lying. "I love you, and I'm worried about you. You haven't been yourself lately." He whispered, speaking the truth. I felt disgusting keeping a secret from him, so it spilled out like word vomit. I didn't want to hide it anymore. He tensed rage building up I could practically smell it, but he sat on the bed thinking it over, and after imagining various ways, he could kill Bill, he calmed. "I know that you thought it was me and that fucking clown was messing with your head, but that doesn't excuse Bill. He took advantage of the situation." I grabbed his hand forcefully and held it to my chest. "Please, he was vulnerable. It wasn't his fault either I gave him no reason to stop." He tensed once more, thinking about Bill's hands on me or mine on him, but he relaxed and remembered how important Bill and Elias are to me. "Fine, but when he wakes up, if he so much as looks in your direction." I calmed him down with a kiss. "Please, I just need you to be here right now." He sighed and kicked off his boots and the rest of his uniform. I did the same and climbed into bed, lifting the blanket for him. "Just hold me, please." He wrapped his arm around me and placed a hard kiss on my lips. "It feels so good to kiss you after the day we've had. The rebels retreated, we have a hole in our living room, and my Queen is some kind of fire goddess." I snickered, feeling that sense of calm he always gave me when my bodies connected to his. "We won today, but I feel something worse is coming, my love." I hated to agree, but he was right something bad was coming, and I just pray we are ready for it. I will die to protect my family. I just hope Marie is prepared to do the same.
