All the Way 2.0 (Kylo Ren x Reader) - New and improved

Hux

She was constantly around. Everywhere General Armitage Hux went on the Supremacy he saw her. Either she was running around on the officer decks or in the same hallway that he had his private quarters in and even when he got injured, she'd been the first to see him. Everywhere! If he was honest with himself, he'd been glad that she'd been the doctor to see him first. She did have the most experience with such wounds, as he'd seen when she'd taken care of the Supreme leader. Nevertheless, all of this did not mean that Hux liked MD-2442. He didn't and he doubted he ever would.

That he'd constantly seen her these past weeks was entirely his fault; he'd kept her as his attending doctor. He could have had Dr Escyle or Dr Red, both capable people in their own right, but they simply weren't as experienced as MD-2442 was with the wound he'd sustained. Apart from that, he'd wanted to find out more about her.

He'd gotten somewhat of an idea why the Supreme leader had kept her as a doctor, her skills aside. She was quick, reliable and surprisingly tender in her care. He could send her a message that he had a twenty-minute time window in between conferences and she'd be there in a moment, all the medical supplies she needed in a backpack. She was never late, had never forgotten a single item and she kept her mouth shut. Hux only knew this because no other doctor or nurse had known that she come to visit him. They hadn't even known that he'd gotten injured. Hux had expected MD-2442 to boast about it to everyone else, but she hadn't.

Armitage Hux had informed Dr Escyle of his injury and MD-2442's care nevertheless. They were acquaintances; his brother was one of Hux's most trustworthy officers and by extension, the doctor was on Hux's side as well. He'd kept an eye on MD-2442 for him; not everyone became the official doctor for the Knights and had survived this long. It also helped that Escyle had more hatred for the woman, than Hux himself did, so, in the end, the General knew everything there was to know about MD-2442.

He'd still tapped her data pad to read all her private conversations, of course. They were, however, utterly boring. Besides work, MD-2442 didn't have a private life. She was either at the ER, training with a Knight or with the Supreme leader...friends were not something she had. Hobbies, apparently not either. That Hux didn't have much of a private life himself, didn't cross his mind.

She had a nurse she was somewhat close to and because of her low security clearance, Hux could also listen to the conversations the two of them had. He'd done it only once and had since gotten a low-ranking officer to do it for him and keep him updated. It wasn't like the two of them had nothing to talk about, but there was nothing of interest to Hux. Again, MD-2442 was annoyingly careful and secretive.

Only with her mother she wasn't and it was the only time that Hux had obtained previously unknown information. Apparently, MD-2442 was interested in her family's history and had found out that over a century the family on her father's side had immigrated from a different planet. Why that was of interest to her, Hux didn't know, nor did he understand. The other planet was as boring as the one she'd been born on and the only similarity the weird dogs that could be found on them. She had an interest in those for some reason and Hux had thought it would be important until he'd found out her brother had been killed by one of them.

It was a sensitive subject for her and maybe the first and only thing Hux had that he could use against her.

The door opened and in came MD-2442. She was wearing the black medical tunic that the Supreme leader had given her. It suited her, accentuated her curves in a subtle way and because she was the only one wearing it, also gave her more authority. Unlike Ren with his horribly messy hair, she'd hers braided neatly and whenever he saw her, there was not a single crease or speck of dust on her uniform. Maybe...maybe Hux would have liked her if she wasn't this close to Ren of all people. And the Knights. They were chaotic, brought dust and dirt into his spaceship...how he hated them.

"Good afternoon, General Hux," she greeted him. "How is your arm?"

"Better."

"Glad to hear that," she smiled and sat the gigantic bag down on the table, opening it. "May I see?"

Hux didn't reply but slipped out of his jacket and rolled up his sleeve so she had a good look at the bandage. She removed the bandage, as she did every day, and nodded in approval at what was beneath.

"It won't leave a scar," she declared and treated the wound with a laser. She'd explained what it was at some point in great detail, how it helped cells regrow and such but he'd not cared enough to listen. He just did not want to have a scar remaining. He wasn't like Ren. He was not a soldier, he was the brain behind the battles, he was a schemer and scars only showed his failures. They ruined his body and he did not want to have one, especially not such a big one.

"I heard the interrogation went well?" Hux started as she drew the light over wound again and again, not shaking or trembling a single bit. Her hands were always so cold, that was the only unpleasant thing about her treatment.

She didn't reply immediately, only when she'd finished drawing the line. "Yes. Have you already been informed of what we extracted?"

'We'? How curious, not 'they', so she hadn't only been an inactive participant in interrogating the subjects. Hux had nearly lost it earlier today when Kylo had kicked out both of his officers from the interrogation but had called for the doctor specifically to join him. Hux was the one that needed the information and she had no right to know it. Yet, Kylo thought she did...for some reason. Hux couldn't really see her torturing people like Ushar did, but maybe he'd been wrong about her.

"I have...received the information, yes. I have also talked with the Supreme leader about it and together we have decided that it would be best to send the Knights. They are...effective, after all."

"They can be," she admitted. "They are also very destructive and as far as I know, this is a matter that should be handled...discreetly."

General Hux hid his anger well. He didn't like fresh blood knowing more than his officers, especially not a doctor of all people. She was starting to annoy him and he pulled his arm from her grasp and massaged the already healed over wound. It was itching from her treatment.

MD-2442 only smiled and patiently waited for him to her his arm back. He didn't; he stared her up and down instead.

Was she a danger to him or his position? She was still a doctor, maybe the one of the Knights and now him, but that was all there was to her. Just a doctor. She was not a politician, didn't seem like one at least, neither had Hux gotten the impression that she was actively striving for higher positions. Escyle and Red could complain about her all day long, but none of those complaints had ever indicated that she was playing any political games. Hux didn't get the impression now either, but there was something else about her... her secrecy maybe. She was creeping around the Supremacy and snuck up on everyone, then pretended she hadn't intended to do it. Is that what she was? A spy for Ren? No. Kylo Ren was many things but he was first and foremost a soldier. He wasn't a schemer, neither was he a politician and Hux did not expect him to suddenly employ such tactics.

But Kylo Ren wasn't the only one that Hux had problems with. Enric Pryde was another and all that he didn't suspect the 'Supreme Leader' to do, he very much expected from the Allegiant General. Hux couldn't prove that the two had a connection but he knew that there was more to MD-2442. He didn't have enough information to know whether or not she was a threat but everything pointed into its direction.

He'd have to get rid of her but he didn't want to anger the Supreme Leader any further, so finding out more had to do first and he already had an idea how to do it.

//Annotation: I will try to follow the official timeline, also including non-movie media but I will not adhere to the official timing in between events. The whole sequel trilogy takes place over the course of about a year and for the sake of...well, making the original a bit more believable, I decided to give everyone a bit more time to train.
