Some of the stuff that happens in this fanfic may not match up with the storyline as Jyn and Cassian are alive.

I'm sitting in Cassian's room.
It's been twenty-four hours since we left Scarif. Everyone is dead. Everyone except Cassian and I. And I find myself plagued by: why us?
Why do we deserve to live and they don't?
"Hey," Cassian sits down across from me. "Are you alright?"
"I'm just thinking," I answer, which, I guess, I am doing.
"Jyn," he takes my hand. "It wasn't you fault. They chose to fight for what they believed in. They knew it could happen. They believed it was worth it."
"I know, I know. I know they chose to... But... how do you move on so quickly?"
"I've been in your situation more than once, Jyn," his brown eyes meet mine. "I've also been on the other side of your situation. When everything is falling apart, you have to let go of yourself and save the mission. There have been multiple times where I've sent the mission forward and left myself behind... on an unknown planet, stranded, just so everyone else can keep fighting."
"But you eventually came back."
"Yes, but the feeling of staying behind has never left me. Never."
"Chirrut isn't coming back."
"No."
"Neither is Bohdi."
"No."
"Neither is K-2."
"No." His voice cracks on this one.
"I want to avenge their deaths."
He smiles bitterly. "You're in luck. I got a call from Command asking for us. We've got a new mission, apparently."
I get up. "Let's go, then."
I have found purpose. I have found my will.

Mon Mothma is standing in front of a that same round table, with the same neon blue diagram behind her. General Draven, again, is standing in the shadows.
"We've a mission for you, Jyn Erso. And you, Captain."
"Yes, yes. What is it?" I ask, somewhat impatiently.
"Princess Organa has been captured by the Empire. She has, however, put the Death Star plans into an Astromech droid, R2-D2. We need you to go to Tatooine to retrieve these."
"So we go to Tatooine, get these plans, then come back?" Cassian simplifies.
"Yes, bring them back first, and then we have a follow up mission for you."
"Alright." I agree. I glance at Cassian. "Let's go to Tatooine."
