The Fett Legacy

CHAPTER 24

"Yes, Supreme Leader?"

"Not here," he said, entering the lift. "Somewhere alone."

Armitage got out and walked away, looking behind one more time. I nodded slightly and he smiled. The lift doors closed and Kylo and I silently stood by each other.

"How is the baby?" He asked, trying to break the awkward tension in the lift.

"He's well. He sleeps a lot," I said with a slight chuckle.

"I'd like to see him sometime."

"That can be arranged," I answered.

"So, about Rass-" he began.

"Can we not talk about it?" I interrupted. He nodded and looked at the door awkwardly. We both stared at the door until the lift stopped.

The door opened and two officers immediately stood at attention.

"Supreme Leader," one said.

"Leave us, and tell no one to come in here," he said.

"Yes, my Lord," the other said as they entered the lift while we exited. When I looked around, I noticed we were in a briefing room.

"A briefing room?" I asked. "How professional."

"Yes. Sit down," he said sternly. I took a seat and leaned back in it-my natural position. He took a seat directly opposite me and stared at me. I didn't like the way he drilled his eyes into my helmet.

"Take your helmet off."

"Kylo, you know I don't like-"

"Do it!" He barked.

"Alright, alright!" I said, huffing and taking it off. I set it on the shiny black table in front of me and looked at him, brushing some of the brown hair out of my face.

"Your scars do not add any beauty to you at all," he said bluntly.

"I know," I said casually. "Neither does yours."

That was a lie. Kylo was a very attractive man, with or without his scar. No one could deny that.

"But that's not why I am here. I feel a disturbance in the force."

I rolled my eyes.

"Don't try to talk to me about your weird magic tricks, Kylo. You know I don't believe in that crap."

"You're lying. That child has them and you know it. You have them as well."

"No, I don't! How would I get them? Only you space wizards can get them. I was only able to wield that saber. So what," I said with a shrug. He continued to bore his eyes into me, squinting every few seconds.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"You're so full of... Contradictions," he whispered, still staring at me.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked, confused.

"You're consumed by darkness, yet you have light. You're in a war, yet at peace. You angry, but your also calm. You-"

"Okay, I've heard enough," I said, officially freaked out. I stood up abruptly and backed away.

"Jetta, you have complete balance!"

"What?"

"You could bring balance to the force!" He said, standing up and walking to me. I shook my head, still backing away from him.

"I don't want this," I said. "I'm just a bounty hunter and that's all I want to be."

"Jetta, listen to me!"
