Cold Mask (Kylo Ren X Reader)

Chapter 2

A week passed ever since your nightmare, you wanted to tell Poe, but you were afraid he may be worried or worse, he would avoid you. 'What did the voice mean? Was my dream really true?' "Stop it, me!" you mentally slapped yourself for thinking such things. Poe looked at you quizzically, since you just yelled at yourself in the mess hall.

"Problem y/n?" he cocked his head. "Oh, uh no. I'm just talking to myself." you smiled goofily so he would be convinced it was nothing. He chuckled, "You're such a weirdo." he ruffled your hair. You tried to stop him, you hated it when he messed with your hair. But, you couldn't help but smile.

"Quit it loser!" you laughed and punched him playfully on the arm. "Ow." he said nonchalantly and tossed a used napkin at you.

The mess hall was full of chatter as you and Poe discussed flight tactics you could possibly accomplish someday. 'Only someday.' you thought sadly.

Then the voice hissed in your ear, no wait not hissed, but more like taunted. 'Why do you resist the urge of the dark, its where you belong, young Jedi.' Ok now the voice is confusing you, you are not Force sensitive. It's all just a story, a myth. But, lately after the dream and voice reached to you, you have felt small urges, urges you couldn't explain.

You were getting angry, but you didn't want to have an outburst in the mess hall, again.

The doors to the mess hall opened to reveal General Leia. Everyone, including you, silenced and stood up, saluting her. She made a gesture and everyome stopped. She walked over to the front of the large room, ready to announce very important news.

"We have heard rumors of a very powerful weapon in the hands of the First Order, after further investigation, the rumors were true. Unfortunately this weapon is soon to be completed, and if it is finished, very grave things will happen," people looked at her sternly and intent on learning more, "So, the reason I'm here, is to choose five people to scout this 'weapon'. You are to be using X-wings to fly around, but it is very dangerous and infested with Tie-fighters. I can't stress the importance enough. We need the information so we can take it down." she finished and looked around the room. "Any volunteers?" Leia asked cautiously.

You looked over at Poe, he looked back. You both probably had the same idea and intention to join. He saw what you were thinking and he shook his head saying; 'No! Too dangerous for you!', with his eyes. You glared with response and raised your hand. Poe sighed and raised his hand also. Three others looked nervous, but determined and raised their hands. Leia studied each of you carefully. You were practicing flight and this chance would be the first time you can achieve your dream.

Leia finally noticed you and walked over. "y/n, you cannot go, this is too dangerous for a rookie. Besides, you haven't even flown before. I'm sorry but I can't allow you to participate in this mission." she told you sympathetically. Your eyes were filled with hurt, and before you could protest Poe stepped in. "General, y/n is fit to fly in this mission, I have taught her all the basics and she is very intelligent with X-wing mechanics. She can fly, this mission is good for her." he saluted while stating his opinion. Leia hesitated, "Are you sure she is ready?", Poe nodded and Leia sighed, "Alright y/n, you can go." She patted your shoulder and said, "Good luck."
