Chapter Two | How to be a Fighter

Ever so slowly, you opened your eyes. There was a bright white light, subtly beeping, and itchy things all over your skin. Once you realized you were in a hospital you sighed. Recalling all of what happened to put you in this cot made you realize it had been quite sometime since you were in a medical facility. Back on Star Killer base it seemed like Kylo was always sending you to the hospital for one reason or another, now that you were on your own you hadn't even thought of going to the hospital. What a nice thing to not have to worry about, another perk of not residing in the First Order.

You took a look around your body, taking stock of bruises and marks left from falling and people handling you, you saw the Ivs the doctor had inserted and felt the electrodes on your chest, but there was a new contraption that you had never seen before.

Atop your abdomen was an elastic band, attached to it sat two circular objects side by side. You followed the wires they were attached to up to a small machine that was displaying a chart with one bright green line that was extremely jagged and below it was a solid horizontal black line. While the green line was moving every which direction and not seeming to slow down in the slightest, the black line below it was stagnate, only moving straight ahead of itself. It was puzzling, you had never seen anything like it before.

Right before you started to speculate what it was you heard shouting coming from outside in the hallway, the voice could only belong to Finn. "So you thought it would be a good idea to take her pictures and publish them without her consent?" Oh boy. You could always count on Finn to protect you and seek justice on your behalf. "Trust and believe that there will be consequences for your actions. You'll be hearing from our lawyer as soon as possible!" The door opened, you could see Finn's face of anger once he crossed the threshold. Once he saw that you were awake though? There was the soft and comforting face you had fallen in love with. "Good to see you're awake." He gave you a kiss on the cheek before he made himself comfortable in the loveseat that was next to the cot. "Good to be awake." You retorted.

"So, how much of that did you hear?"

"A lot." Finn's face fell sad, he shook his head as a way to express his disappointment. "A reporter who had heard your story used your name to look up photos of you in the Resistance database, ones that were used in the newspaper and whatnot. He sold them to a publisher and that publisher put them all over the place. He said they paid him a lot because everyone knew Kylo was married, but no one knew what she looked like."

You sighed, nodded your head in sad and unfortunate agreement with his statement. "Does all that really matter now that I'm not with him anymore?"

"Apparently it does. I'm sorry baby."

People all of the sudden cared so much about you. Why didn't they care this much when you were so young and living on the streets, or when you were forced into a whore house? Better yet, why didn't these people care this much about you when you were being abused by Kylo Ren? The entire situation was upsetting, what would you have to deal with now? You had basically sworn off leaving the base again entirely, maybe if you just stayed within the Resistance you'd be safe. After all, everyone there knew you and knew you enjoyed your privacy. Hopefully after the perpetrator was dealt with there'd be no more breaches of your security.

There was a knock on the door, it swung open shortly after and then a tall, muscular man walked through the door. "Good afternoon everyone. I'm Doctor Koroban. He smiled at you, looked to Finn and shook his hand. "Mrs. Ren, is it? Is that what you'd like to be called?" You glanced nervously over at Finn. You did have a last name before your marriage, but very rarely did you ever get to use it. You had grown accustomed to the surname "Ren," and you in particular didn't mind people using it. But you knew Finn didn't like it, and since Finn was the one who stood up for you while you were unconscious you thought you'd at least make him a little more comfortable in this small room.
