"Just keep it over your head. If anyone sees you, they'll ask questions. I don't have the time to explain, The Emperor wants to see me on my failure." (Y/N) told Anakin as she placed a helmet over his resisting head.
"What do you mean? Isn't that the whole point of why I'm here?" Anakin protested. She had tricked him into wearing a stormtrooper outfit.
"Just follow me." (Y/N) shushed him. Anakin trusted her, so he followed her into the elevator.
When they arrived on the detention level of an off star destroyer that the Emperor would be least likely found on she dismissed everyone from the level.
"What are we doing here, (Y/N)?" Anakin asked, he felt something was out of place. She went to the control panel, not acknowledging his question as she input a new prisoner under a false name and identity in a far off corridor.
"Hey." Anakin said, taking his helmet off, "Hey." He repeated, grabbing her arm and turning her to him. "I can't help you if you don't tell me what's happening."
When he touched her he felt a betrayal. He understood her plan. It was as if the Force was whispering it into his ear.
"You are not leaving me here." Anakin said. The hurt in his voice evident that she would do that again.
"I can handle the Emperor. There is another way, you said we could find it." She told him, "I just need time to deal with him, I can take the punishment-"
"I told you I won't let him hurt you anymore." Anakin intervened.
"Don't you understand? He can't hurt me anymore." (Y/N) grabbed at his chest, "He doesn't control me. But I'm trying to be smart about this. Right now he has every possible advantage over us, but he won't kill me. Killing me would take away his biggest advantage to you. And I will be back."
She was right and Anakin knew it. (Y/N) knew the reason the Chancellor chose her for his apprentice was to stop Anakin. Anakin would never be able to kill her, so he made sure to use her as a shield. Darth Majka was being used as the protection of the Empire, not just from the rebels but from the only one who really had the power to destroy it.
"That's not the point." Anakin argued, "You can't leave me again."
"That's not what I'm trying to do." She pleaded, "Now is just not the time. I've already told him I failed and that I will report for punishment. I can handle it. Then we can surprise him another time."
She brushed some hair behind her love's ear. Anakin stared down at her, when would they stop having everything as a life or death situation. He grabbed onto her back, holding her closer to him. She was right, they had no leverage right now. The Emperor also might expect a trap like that. They needed a new plan, but until then she did need to keep the Emperor thinking everything was normal.
"Please, let me do the right thing for our family." (Y/N) whispered. She felt her need for redemption arising.
"If you aren't back soon, I'm going to break out of here and find you." He said.
"I wouldn't expect anything less." She hugged him tighter, irony seeping out of her situation as she was excited for her torture session.
She showed him to his cell where he could hide out. He walked in.
"Not the worst cell I've been in." Anakin began taking off his stormtrooper uniform.
(Y/N) said nothing as she stared at him. He was alive. Like really alive and walking and breathing and still in love with her somehow after everything. Anakin noticed her looking and walked back to her.
"Don't look at me like that." Anakin grimaced.
"Like what?" She asked, thinking her looks were purely innocent.
"Like it's the last time you'll see me." He kissed her forehead.
"It won't be." She assured him quickly, "I just- sometimes it's hard for me to believe you're actually here. It makes me hate the Emperor more and more because of-"
"Shh.." he shushed her, kissing the parts of her face that weren't covered by her mask, "We don't hate. Not anymore."
"Since when are you sensible?" She calmed down.
"I guess a few things have changed." He shrugged, accepting her into his arms, "We will get you out of here, soon."
"Soon." She repeated before removing her mask, no longer wincing at the pain it gave when she did, and kissing him goodbye.
When the time came and she needed her mask again she pulled away and he stepped back into the cell. They memorized and rememorized every inch of each other before Majka was forced to close the door. She turned and walked down the hall to her torture.
She left the star destroyer to meet the Emperor in his hide away. No one ever knew where the Emperor stayed to avoid assassination.
She landed herself in the main hangar and met by a row of royal guards who escorted her the Emperors chair.
Majka was met with his evil presence before seeing him. Breaking into a cold sweat of nervousness, finally feeling the fear of what might be done to her. The evil and inhumane tortures that would bring her to the brink of her existence then back again.
"It's been a long time, my Apprentice."
