"K2...do you think a dream could mean something?", I hesitantly ask K-2SO.

"Jyn, I do not understand what you mean to ask me.", he replies robotically.

"What I mean is, can, let's say, a nightmare about the Empire coming back to get me, imply that they might actually do that?", I say.

"According to past occurrences, there is that possibility. Master Luke Skywalker has mentioned that his father, Anakin Skywalker, had dreams of his wife dying in child birth. Those dreams were later realized. Master Luke says that Master Obi-Wan Kenobi is the one who told him this, a close friend and mentor of Anakin's.", explained K2.

I sat next to the X-wing I was fixing with wide eyes.

"Jyn, did you have a dream that you fear will result in something more and are not telling me?", realized K2.

"What ever happened to Anakin?", I ask, ignoring his question.

"Jyn. How could you not know?", he asked and leaned in close to me and whispered," He later became Darth Vader."

My chest tightened up and my breathing became staggered.

"K2, can you finish up this ship? I have to go...do something.", I say as I walk away, not even waiting for his reply.

I run up stairs and down halls until I make it to the door of my room. My breathing is much worst than before, anxiety taking over my body and mind.

I sloppily punch in my code and run in, falling to my knees.

They cannot come for me. What if they do? They will kill me. No. even worse. they will turn me into one of them. Those disgusting murderers.

My breathes become gasps.

Sobs rake my body at the realization that my nightmare may well become a reality.

Just as my sobbing feast begins, I hear the door open but don't bother to look up.

I know it is Cassian. He is the only one with the code to my room.

"Jyn, what's wrong?", he says as i feel hands rubbing my back, "Is it the memories again?"

I force myself to stop the tears as I look up at Cassian and stand up to sit on my bed.

I don't dare to look at him with my pathetic, tear-stained eyes.

"Cassian. Do you know of Anakin Skywalker?", I ask, to which he gives me a confused look I see through my eyelashes.

I explain Anakin and the result of his dream to Cassian just as K2 did to me.

"Jyn.", he says as he lifts my head to look at him.

His tone turns to one of a captain, not a fiancé.

"You are stronger than any man I have ever met. And if the Empire does manage to kidnap you, you will fucking fight till the end. You will not let them manipulate your brain. And you will definitely never let those bastards turn you into one of their robots. Do you understand me?",he says with a bite in his language.

"Yes.", I say with jagged breath but determination.

Cassian knows that a militant voice is the only way to make me listen in such a time of frustration. A voice I am so used to.

"We have a new mission for you, Jyn. You will be traveling to Coruscant with your team. Several of our rebels have been killed there while on missions but not as a result of said missions. We have sources that speak of assassins aiding in the rise of a new Empire, so to speak, and are murdering our rebels. Find these assassins and bring down as many as you can.", says Mon Mothma, "You leave in one week."

"Thank you.", I say simply and leave the the dark room.

I walk out and to the plaque.

Coming out here has become a weekly occurrence. I regularly pick wild flowers and place them here.

They must know that they are not forgotten. Not by me, Cassian, or K2 anyway.

"Jyn Erso. The probability that you are annoying the Jabbas out of the desceased Rogue One crew is at 94.23%.", says the obnoxious droid.

"And the probability that you will be a pile of nuts and bolts in a few seconds is at 99.99%", I reply with s much attitude as K2.

"Actually, that isn't accurate.", he says.

"Well, I'm not an obnoxious droid like you so I would know.", I say.

"Well, excuse m-", begins K2 before he is interrupted by a sweet Festian accent.

"Are my two favorites in the whole galaxy arguing once again?", asks Cassian with a smirk on his face.

He squishes himself between us and wraps an arm around each of us, careful with his bad arm.

"No", K2 and I reply monotonely.

We all walk back into the base like three Tatooinian peas in a pod.

Author's Note:

I was just looking at my stats and found that I have some male readers!!! I just didn't expect to see some boys reading this! Come on out and show some love, guys!

I'm trying to stay on line with the timeline as best as I can. you know, with the end of the Empire and rise of the First Order which is actually something we don't get to see in the movies but this is what happened off screen. Let me know if I get something wrong! I want this to be as accurate as possible.

Listen to the medley of the Rogue One soundtrack I attached. God, the music in the Star Wars films never fail to bring me to tears.

May the Force be with you guys.
