He had been captured at least a day ago. He was stuck in this slimy cell with no idea of who his captors were.

He had been on a mission to meet some planet officials on Lothal. Unfortunately, they got ambushed by hooded individuals and now, here he was, alone.

Kylo would come get him, he was sure of it. Kylo would blast in here and take no survivors. Only problem was the cell was very cold and damp. Lothal was a warm planet, with very few resources of water. Wherever he was, he was far underground.

So, he waited for the right moment. No one came in and out of the cell, only to drop by a ration bar through the slot and a syringe of water. He was trained for these types of situations. He just needed to hold out long enough for Kylo.




He didn't know when he closed his eyes but he 'woke up' to the sound of a door opening. He looked up to see............. General Organa.

Hux and Organa had an interesting relationship. They have crossed paths in the past but never able to get the upper hand over each other. They both cared deeply about Kylo. He had told Hux all about who he was before and why he made the choices he did. It made Hux angry, that was for sure, but he was also intrigued. He had heard his father tell many harrowing stories of their band of Rebels and how it affected the Empire.

"General Hux, I hope my men haven't been too hard on you."

He could make a run at her. He could get out of this cell but then do what? He only had the object of negotiation.

"General Organa, nice to see you in a setting where I'm not shooting your flagship in the dead of space."

"Lose the formalities General, call me Leia. Please have a seat."

He stood up, still very confused where this was going. He sat down at the metal table, hands still in Bonds.

"I must admit, I am quite confused why you are talking to me. I would expect the New Republic to be here interrogating me or that hot shot Pilot. I do thank you for that message."

She smiled, leaning back and taking him in. He was unnerved by her presence. What was her game here?

"So sorry about that General, and the New Republic does not know you're here. The only ones that know your location are me and a couple Resistance members."

Hux stared at her. She had Kylo's eyes and lips. He also figured that he got his soft hair from her. He didn't know why she was so relaxed, she seemed too relaxed but with that hint of doubt.

"You've got me Ge-Leia. I have no idea where I am and why I'm here. I just hope you get whatever you want out of me before my Knight comes in here and kills you all."

He watched her as she sat back up, arms on the table, staring into his eyes. He wasn't afraid of her, same as Kylo. She didn't know him therefore couldn't do anything that could hurt him.

"Do you care about my son?"

It was no secret Hux cared for the man. Okay, maybe a little bit more than he liked to admit, but she didn't need to know that. Although, she was Force sensitive and probably already knew the truth, and he was the one stuck in the cell, not her.

"I care about Kylo very much. He would give his life to protect mine and I would do the same. Your son is gone though Leia, he has told me everything."

She smiled sadly. Hux knew that smile, and had seen Kylo use it thousands of times. He had to remember that even though Ben was dead, she had still given birth to Kylo, and that had to count for something.
