reunion

For the past week, I have stayed in the medical bay, with no one to visit me except doctors and an occasional visit from Vi. She left after the week to go attend the base back in Batuu.

"Alright Ms. May you are free to go, the general had your room cleaned and I scheduled some physical therapy with me, making sure that foot is healed properly," she explained.

"Thank you, Elaine," I said.

She helped me change into some pants that were able to get my cast into. I was given a cane to help me walk. Elaine helped me walk back to my living quarters, and as I was walking I could hear whispers of the members, stairs of sympathies as I walked to my room.

"Where is she" a familiar voice yelled. "May?" the voice yelled again. Poe.

"It's Poe," I whispered. "Poe!" I yelled.

I heard footsteps thud, faces started to watch Poe run. He ran towards me and stopped to hug me.

"God, May I thought you were dead," he said holding my head in his hands. "Where is Ly-" he searched my eyes for the answer and he got the answer and frowned. "Oh, May I-" he hugged me tighter. "Can I take Captain May the rest of the way doc?" he asked.

She nodded.

He helped me to my room and opened the door. My room was filled with resistance posters and photos of my home, Naboo. He helped me sit down and propped my leg up.

"P-Poe!" I giggled. "You don't have to do all this. "I exclaimed.

"May" he sat near my knee. "You have been gone for a month," he stated. "What happened out there May?"

"Why does it matter Poe?" I argued. "I am a useless drone of the Resistance, get intel, get in and  out, and repeat."

"What? Who told you that," he said. "May."

"What," tears started to fill my eyes. I scoffed. "Poe, I was beaten, I was electrocuted, I was violated by the force apparently." I ripped my sleeve up to show my scars. "They know things they shouldn't have. I was told I was useless, Poe! I believe them more and more. Kylo Ren told me he would torture me until I forgot my name. General Hux almost did!" I sobbed. I couldn't breathe,

I laid on my bed and Poe got behind me and stroked my hair. "May, none of that is true."

"But it is!" I spat. "I see him in my dreams, I-I" he whipped my cheek.

"Shhh... mi quierda" he interrupted. "Let's get you into the bath alright?"

"B-Bu"

"It's alright."

He took me to the bath and helped me get my sweaty clothes off, he grabbed a cloth and scrubbed my arms and back slowly.

"May you are not nothing, you have helped the Resistance in so many ways."

Poe was always there for me, we were friends but there were no obligations. We were just there. He helped me get out and dried me off and helped me get dressed again. We sat on the bathroom floor and he brushed my hair. Letting me lay on his lap. He told me things of stories, He told me stories of Lycan, and he updated me on Finn, Rey, and Rose, and how missions were going as the resistance was being rebuilt. We laughed we cried, I eventually fell asleep...

"Dear May, you got out of our grasp.." Kylo Ren said. "Do not fear, I am always here, in your head."

"I don't need this from you, you monster." I felt a pain in my head again.

"So you are friends with our favorite pilot," he said.

"You are only in my head, you're a nightmare," I said. He faded away..

I flinched up. Poe was on the floor with a pillow and a blanket.

"May, are you alright?" he asked.

"Y-yeah, I had a nightmare," I responded.

"Want me to be up there with you?" he asked.

"Just you being here is enough." I smiled.
