The Scavenger & Pilot

Goodbye For Now... [9]

This is a short one..... ENJOY!!

Rey sat next to Finn, holding his hand while the doctors explained to her and the rest of the people in the room about Finn's status. The General was called in, so Rey couldn't help but worry. She knew there was something wrong, she could feel it. She noticed Poe kept looking at her, ever since they arrived at Finn's room he couldn't stop looking at her. This wasn't the time and place to think about what had just happened between the two of them.

She was trying to pay attention to the doctor, he mentioned something about Finn responding back to the nurses. He was able to move his fingers and was responding fine to the medication he was on. It was going to take some time for his back and shoulder to heal due to the burns from the lightsaber.

Suddenly everything had stopped for Rey, there it was the voice she did not want to hear inside her head. How he was able to find her and let him inside her head, she didn't know how, but Kylo Ren had found her.

"Rey, don't think that you're safe with those people you call friends in the Resistance. I will find you Rey, and you will give me what it's mine."

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!" Rey said as she screamed out loud making everyone in the room turn their heads at her. She crouched down and covered her ears. The General demanded for everyone to leave the room except for Poe.

Poe immediately went to her and he grabbed her chin, so she can look at him.

"Rey, look at me. Look at me, he's not going to hurt you okay." Poe was trying to calm her down and it hurt him seeing her like this. Being vulnerable, she always had this front and she let that go and somehow he felt responsible for that.

"Rey, what did he say to you?" Leia, walked towards her and Poe.

"He's going to find me, what if he knows where the base is located?"

"He won't, we are moving to another location. We will give you the coordinates of that location after you complete your mission Rey. We will be safe, don't worry. The most important thing right now is getting you to Luke."

Rey slowly got up and looked at Finn.

"We promise that Finn is in good hands, my son will not harm him. That means you have to leave today Rey, the faster you'll get to Luke we will bring down the First Order and hopefully get my son back"

Rey couldn't help but feel sorry for the General, she wasn't speaking as a general anymore but as a mother who has been broken.

Leia grabbed Rey's hands and looked at her.

"Rey, you have the force in you and you're just learning how to control it. My brother will teach you. You will be in good hands.

"Poe, let everyone know that Rey leaves in an hour. Make sure the Falcon is ready for her."

"Yes, General Organa." Poe looked at Rey and squeezed her shoulder, so she can know that he will be there for her.

He left and got everyone on board about the change of plans for Rey's mission. Everyone in the base was getting everything ready for Rey and making sure that the Falcon was ready to fly.

Rey went to her room and packed a few change of clothes, she changed into some of her new clothes that the General gave her. She took her staff, placed her blaster on her belt and grabbed a bag that had Luke's lightsaber inside.

She went to say goodbye to Finn, she made it short. She did not want to leave him, but Leia and Poe have promised her that he's in good hands. After giving him a kiss on the forehead, she left his room and made her way to the Falcon.

Rey made eye contact with Poe, he had changed into his Commander green uniform, she couldn't help but think how good he looked in it. He was making his way to he, but Logan was the one who got to her first.

"Logan." She said surprised by him.

"I just wanted to let you know that you are all set to go. I put in some new blasters for you in there."

"Officer Logan, Rey" he nodded towards Rey.

"Commander." Logan responded back to Poe.

All three of them stood there in awkward silence.

"I guess this is my goodbye for now Rey, please be safe and may the force be with you." Logan gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you Logan"

Logan left Poe and Rey alone.

"Rey, if there is anything you need. You can contact me through BB-8, just send a message through R2 and I will be there for you."

"Thanks" she smiled at him, she couldn't help but smile at him. He cared for her, and she saw that and she was determined to tell him how she felt about him before she left.

"Rey, I know that you're leaving and I will see you soon. I need to know if you feel the same way about me?"

This was her moment to tell him, that she liked him too, but a voice she didn't want to hear came to interrupt them.

"Rey" Jade said and walked towards her and Poe "Just finished putting some first aid kits and medications for you."

"Thanks." Rey stood there feeling awkward. She noticed Jade grabbing Poe's hand.

"Have a safe trip Rey." She slowly started pulling Poe away from Rey.

"May the force be with you Rey." Poe said as Jade pulled him away.

Rey just stared at him walking away with Jade. She lost her chance to tell him. Chewie and R2 boarded the falcon Rey knew it was time to go and find Luke. She said goodbye to General Organa and BB-8.

Rey boarded the Falcon, she looked at Chewie and he smiled at her she knew this mission was important. She had one week to bring Luke back to his sister.
