Crash Landing // Poe Dameron

05.

Thalia's eyebrow shot up, that was chewbacca, the companion to Han Solo. "Guys, I know who that is."

They all turned toward Thalia, "Who is it?" Finn spoke. Questioning looks were all over their faces.

After he spoke, the grate on top of their heads was lifted up. Thalia met the eyes of Han Solo, she lifted her arms up in a greeting. "Chewie, Han!" She had met the two on another one of her missions.

Hans greying eyebrows furrowed, "kid, what are you doing here?" Han was surprised to see Thalia, as she was supposed to be with Leia, with the resistance.

"Oh you know, the usual." Thalia knew, however what she was doing, was far from the usual.

Chewbacca spoke, then Finn asked, "You can understand that thing?" Han gave him a look, "Yes and that 'thing' understands you, so watch it!" Thalia hit Finn in the shoulder giving him an exasperated look.

After smirking back at Finn, Thalia pushed herself out of the hole, and threw her arms around the millennium Falcon pilots. The hug was returned.

Turning back towards her companions Thalia clarified, "This is Han Solo, and Chewbacca."

Rey had an awestruck look on her face, "This is the ship that made the Kessel Run in fourteen parsecs?" Han narrowed his eyes at her, "Twelve." He scoffed in disbelief as if he couldn't believe what she just said, "fourteen."

Han brought a conversation about Rathars, "What's a Rathar?" Rey questioned. Solo's reply was short, and to the point, "They're big, and they're dangerous."

Finn then swiveled over to Rey, "you ever heard of the Trellian massacre?"

"No."

"Good."

Thalia laughed enjoying Rey's confusion.

Karma was a strange thing, and it always seemed to come at the worst of times. Like now when the people Han owed money to payed a visit.

Thalia's voice sounded panicky, "what about the Rathars, where are they?" A thump averted Thalia's gaze towards a window, where a large tentacle was currently laying. "Never mind."

"What are you going to do?" Rey asked referring to the money collectors.

"Same thing I always do, talk my way of it." Solo sounded very confident in his abilities, but Chewbacca thought different. Han looked offended, "Yes I do! Every time!"

Rey, Thalia, and Finn took this opportunity to get back in the panel. Right as Finn was closing the top the doors opened. Thalia couldn't see anything so she opted to just listen.

"Boys you're both going to get what I promised. Have I ever not delivered for you before?"

"Yes!"

The two groups of money collectors were preparing for a fight, the trio knew they had to do something. Rey looked over at a panel of buttons, she scanned them choosing which to press. Then she slammed her hand down on a button, but instead of helping, it released the Rathars.

Thalia let out a gasp, and they were forced to move forward and back under the walkway or safety. She found it very exhausting, and was contemplating to just lie down and take what was coming to her. But her companions argued for her not to.

Rolling her eyes she continues to follow the two friends. Somehow, someway Finn ended up being caught by a Rathar.

Thalia and Rey run to a security panel, both girls were worried about their friend. Thalia's eyes followed Finn and the Rathar down the corridors. She raised her hand and once the Rathar moved into a door, she slammed her hand down.Effectively closing the door and saving Finn. Thalia's body let out a shudder at the tentacles that were still around his body.

Thalia and Rey smiled at the success, and went to meet him. The three then met up with Han and Chewie. Who had gotten rid of the money collectors.

Rey helped Han pilot the ship. Thalia was happy for Rey, she looked so happy piloting.

Thalia stood behind them watching their conversation.

"Watch the thrust, we're going outta here at lightspeed."

"From inside the hangar? Is that even possible?"

"I never ask that question til' after I've done it!"

Thalia let out a small chuckle at Hans persistence, and left the hangar.

She wrapped her arms around her body, Poe's brown leather jacket still on her. Letting out a sigh she made a silent prayer.

"Poe wherever you are, I hope you're okay."

Little did Thalia know that on a different planet Poe spoke a similar prayer.

"Princess, please come back safely to me."
