Hope Is The Last Thing Ever Lost...

Rix Road

"Any luck?" Luthen said as he walked up to Vel who was sitting down against a pillar.

They both were on Ferrix for the Funeral of Andor's mother, hoping that they could find him and the man would lead them to the Spider before the Empire got to them.

The rebel man had arrived on the planet last night after Kleya told him what was happening and waited for the sun to rise before heading into town to find Vel.

Which brought them to their current problem, locating Andor.

"Was getting worried." Vel said, nodding in his direction but Luthen ignored the little dig at him to question her more about the situation.

"What's the verdict? Has he come home or not?" He asked.

"They seem to think so, they're everywhere. There's an ISB supervisor in town."

"A woman?" Luthen asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You know her?" Vel asked.

"Not yet...This is good though."

"How is this possibly good?" Vel scoffed.

Luthen though kept his eyes forward, staring off into the dusty streets, "They'll do the hunting for us, they'll find Andor and once they do, we run in and grab him before it's too late. Where will they take him?" He asked.

"The hotel. It's their base of operations." Vel said but before Luthen could respond, a voice from behind the man caused them to freeze in place.

"You know, I told Cass that you would show up. He didn't believe me though."

The two rebels turned around and came face to face with the young man they were actually after. Standing before them, leaning against one of the stone pillars was The Spider with a grin along his face.

The young man was in different attire from the last time either rebel saw him though. The teen was now wearing a faded black leather jacket with golden highlights along the sleeves with two parallel stripes going down the right side of his chest and another stripe wrapped around his left bicep. The jacket though was not zipped, showing off a grayish-white V neck t-shirt with a pair of dark blue jeans, a holster with his blaster at his side and a pair of glasses resting over his eyes.

The two rebels could also see some sort of wrist band along his right hand and a brown satchel swung across his shoulder.

"Spider?" Luthen whispered so he didn't draw anymore attention to them, not wanting the imperials to overhear him.

If it was possible, the young man's grin grew a little bit wider, "Is that what they're calling me?" He asked with a bemused tone of voice, "You know it kinda slipped my mind these past few months that you called me that Vel, but my name is actually Spider-Man...The Last Avenger."

"Avenger?" Luthen asked, "I've never heard of that term before."

Peter's grin faltered a little which the two rebels did take notice of, "Yeah, well there's a reason I'm the Last one..let's just, leave it at that." He said softly, thinking back to his universe and the family that he'll never see again.

Because they had lost...

Peter shook his head, "Anyways, enough of that. Why are the three of you here, hmm? Trying to hunt us down and kill us? Because I can assure you, that's a fight you won't win." He said as the teen stared at them both hesitantly, subtly tensing his muscles in case one of them attacked first.

Luthen though shook his head, "I'm sure you would, but it's Nothing so barbaric. We came to find Andor, so he could find you. We want you to come with us." He said.
