There were a few things that Armitage Hux hated with passion. The first was the New Republic. They were corrupted from the bottom and it had spread through their organisation like mould through rotting wood. Now, they pretended to be good. They lured in people with false promises of freedom and paradise all while supporting a terrorist organization they had so conveniently called 'freedom fighters'. That was the second thing that Armitage Hux hated: the Resistance.

They stood for everything he disapproved off. They were unorganized, arrogant and just because they had a bit of power and some members that could wield space magic, they thought they were going to save the galaxy. They didn't know that all the galaxy needed was saving from them. The galaxy needed the First Order. It needed an organisation with a grip on reality. An organisation that saw all the corruption and crime and eliminated it. Anyone with a criminal background was no man for the First Order but in the Resistance smugglers and other vigilantes calling themselves 'rebels' and 'fighters for a good cause' found refuge. That would never happen to the First Order if it would be General Hux's decision. But it wasn't, not anymore.

That, was the third thing he hated. He hated not having the power he had had earlier. He hated being forgotten and all his work that he had spent decades on just being taken away. He even had his own babysitter now: General Pryde. Hux didn't need a babysitter, Kylo Ren needed one. Kylo fucking Ren. The man-child of the First Order. Kylo was everything Hux was not: impulsive, careless, incapable. Yet that man had taken over his title. Hux had to address him with 'Supreme Leader', while he should have been the one bearing that title, not Kylo.

Kylo Ren was another thing that Hux could only contempt. He had to give him some things: Ren was a good fighter and he was powerful when it came to the force but that alone should have never been a reason to ascend to Supreme Leader. Ren wasn't born a leader; he was born a soldier. Hux had worked all his life to gain his power. He was ambitious, he had sucked up to that wrinkly gremlin Snoke for all of it to fail when Kylo Ren had killed him. Kylo Ren had virtually kicked Hux from his supposed throne, all because he could wield his stupid force.

Another thing, he hated: the Force. It had its uses and when utilized properly it was an valuable tool...but that was all it was: a tool. It shouldn't have given anyone the power to lead just because they could use it. No, they should look at abilities. Useful abilities. Not being able to choke everyone from metres away abilities. Hux had built up Starkiller base. It had been the greatest weapon the galaxy had seen only for some force-wielding bastard to destroy his life's work.

General Armitage Hux hated force users. He hated them just a little bit more than he hated the New Republic and the Resistance. It was even a bit impressive to Hux that something other than those two organisations could enrage him more, but that's how it was. Their corruption was nothing compared to the chaos that the force had continuously brought into his life. At least those damned Jedi and their ridiculous schooling was no longer around, if it wouldn't have been for that Rey child. It was already enough that Hux had to deal with one man-child dark side of the force user, now there was another light-side maggot in the Resistance. At least Kylo had some form of discipline, Rey didn't. No one in the Resistance had. Whenever he encountered them, they mocked him. They thought it funny to not listen, didn't take anything serious until they were hit with reality. Then it was suddenly all dramatic and horrible and they no longer wanted to play. Maybe he did hate the Resistance more than he hated Force users. Hux didn't know, neither did he care to quantify his hatred for either. He just hated them both.

There was another thing that Armitage Hux didn't like: insubordination and everything that came with it. He didn't like not respecting, questioning or challenging the established hierarchy. He was fine with it if someone had the actual qualifications, after all, he'd been doing just that all his life, but he knew when to stop and he knew when something was out of his reach. However, he would have never dreamed about calling his superior a 'bloody idiot', even if he had all right to do so. And that was why he didn't like MD-2442. He didn't hate her. He just didn't like her. He really didn't like her.

When he'd received message from the Supreme Leader about giving that woman a promotion so far up the ladder that it would have usually taken two lifetimes to get there, he was a bit taken back. He'd seen her around the Supreme Leader for a few weeks now. She'd saved his life and finished the aftercare needed for his injuries and she'd been assigned to the prisoners obtained on the same mission. It had all been understandable. Hux had expected her to get promoted after her success on the recent mission and, even if he'd never admit it to anyone else, he didn't hold a grudge against her for calling him names. She'd been hit by blasters and when she'd thrown him on the ground, she'd wanted to protect him. It was commendable.

To receive a special rank in security clearance, however, had not been a possibility he had considered and even though Kylo had thrown Hux off his throne and limited his power, he hadn't taken everything away from him. Hux knew who his men were and he kept both a very close eye and very small circle of people he trusted around. To find out more about MD-2442 hadn't been much of a challenge. Her records were easy access for him and because Hux was in charge of the stormtroopers, it also hadn't taken him longer than half an hour to get his hands on a report of what had happened on her home planet.

MD-2442's skill with a rifle had perplexed him but now he understood. She'd been trained from a young age by her father, one of the most successful hunters on the planet for some weird force-sensitive dog creature. Despite that her father had been a virtual nobody. He had been known around the area as the guy that had to be called if an animal proved to be a bit of a problem, but nothing more. Basically, a glorified pest controller. Besides the way he died, her mother was a far more interesting character. She was well-known throughout the planet and even had a small following in the rest of the galaxy for her achievements in medical research. She was successful in her niche field and had undoubtedly pushed her daughter into medicine for just that reason.

However, her mother was very different from MD-2442. For one thing she was a known supporter of the Resistance. It had surprised Hux because her mother had a very strong personality and for her daughter to defy her in such a way, was not something he'd expected. When he'd found out that part, he'd suspected MD-2442 to be a Resistance spy. Then he'd accessed all of her private messages even before she'd joined the First Order and had them analysed. No. She was no Resistance spy and she'd killed a few of them on home planet. She'd admitted it to a friend at some point. (They were no longer friends now) Thanks to that Hux also knew that she didn't get along with her mother and that since joining the First Order the two of them hadn't spoken a word with each other. Hux had then looked into all of her mother's messages to see if she'd found out about her daughter joining what she arguably hated most; she didn't know. She also didn't like her daughter much, but she adored the son she had with her new husband. She kept praising him and dragging her down. For a split-second the General had felt some sort of pity towards MD-2442, but it had disappeared as quickly as it had sprung up, because if she wasn't a Resistance spy, what else could she be?

Force-sensitive. She could have been force-sensitive, for why else was Kylo Ren interested in such a normal looking woman? (After all, he'd forgotten about her quickly the first times they'd met) She wasn't however.

The General had learned many lessons over the years and one of them was that even though he despised the force, it was useful. So, it had taken him a bit, but he did have a few force-sensitives in his pockets and one of them he'd just sent to collect the doctor from the ER. The officer he'd sent was not a powerful force user, but he could sense others. Hux had been convinced of her force powers, but she didn't have any. At least not according to the officer that had just met with her.

'She's ordinary, General' the message wrote.

So, if she wasn't a Resistance spy, didn't have particularly rememberable looks or had force powers...what was she? What was that damned doctor that was starting to become a thorn in General Armitage Hux's flesh?
