When Worlds Collide (Marvel/Star Wars)

Chapter 20: Finding The Pilot

Everyone but Jyn and Jinx were thrown into prison cells in the Partisan base. While we remained in the cells, I heard Chirrut repeat the same phrase. "I'm one with the Force and the Force is with me. I'm one with the Force and the Force is with me."

"You pray?" Baze asked as Chirrut continued to say the same phrase. "Really?"

"I'm one with the Force and the Force is with me." Chirrut continued.

"He's praying for the door to open." Baze said as Cassian turned away from the door to face them.

"It bothers him, because he knows it is possible." Chirrut commented.

Baze snickered before releasing a laugh. Chirrut then spoke again. "Baze Malbus was once the most devoted Guardian of us all."

"I'm beginning to think the Force and I have different priorities." Cassian replied as he turned back towards the door.

"Relax, Captain. We've been in worse cages than this one." Chirrut assured him.

"This is a first for me." Cassian said.

"There is more than one sort of prison, Captain, I sense that you carry yours wherever you go." Chirrut commented.

Baze wore a smirk as Cassian turned around, glaring at Chirrut. As I leaned back against the wall, I closed my eyes. I remained what Jinx said...and it hurt me. Why would I be the reason she desperately turned to the dark side?

I then concentrated on the Force, and it wasn't long until I saw them. The Avengers along with Kina, Gida, and Tarom were sitting around a table with worried looks. Thor was the only Avenger not at the table.

"Where do you think Storm can be?" Natasha asked.

"Tarom, Kina, Gida? Any ideas?" Steve then questioned.

"Not sure. She could be on any planet." Kina informed them. "She could be on Ilum or somewhere else."

"Like Coruscant?" Gida suggested.

Tarom shook his head in horror. "Oh no! I hope she's not there. That place has been taken over by the Empire."

I then emerged, standing behind them. "Or perhaps she's in Jedha."

At that moment everyone turned around and their eyes widened upon seeing me. They were baffled to see me before them.

"Storm! Is that you?" Bruce asked.

"Yes, but I'm not entirely here." I explained as Steve reached out to touch me.

However when he tried to place a hand on my shoulder it went right through my shoulder, surprising them even more. Kina's jaw dropped. "That's impossible? Are you reaching us through the Force?"

I nodded. "Yes, it is how I know Maya was still alive."

"Whoa, you truly are strong with the Force." Tarom commented.

"Indeed." Kina agreed.

Gıda nodded. "You sure are, but I thought Jinx killed your sister?"

"It was a lie...and there are many secrets my parents kept from me." I confessed.

"Where are you?" Bruce inquired.

"Currently in a prison cell in Jedha." I replied. "Like I said a few minutes ago."

"What?!" They all exclaimed.

"What are you doing in Jedha?" Kina asked.

"And in a prison cell?" Clint asked rather baffled.

I let out a nervous laugh. "Uh...long story."

Kina raised an eyebrow. "Go on."

And I began to explain how I found the Rebellion and everything that had happened. They were all amazed and happy to know we were fighting back against the damn Empire. However Kina wore a stern look. "But you still kept the orb!"

I wore a sheepish look. "Forgive me Kina. I didn't mean to..."

I then heard Chirrut's voice, which sounded far away. "Who's the one in the next cell?"

I then heard Kina and others yelling my name as I lost concentration, opening my eyes to find myself back in the prison cell. I glanced over to see Baze making his way towards the other cell. Baze then looked through the hole in the wall before telling us who it was. "An Imperial pilot."

My eyes lit up. Could it be the pilot? Cassian and I exchanged a look of hope. "Pilot?!"

"I'm going to kill him!" Baze then shouted.

My eyes widened in horror. Cassian then scrambled over towards Baze. "No, no, No, wait!"

"Come here!" Baze yelled as he tried grabbing the pilot.

"No! Don't hurt him!" I shouted out.

Cassian then pushed Baze back, telling him to back off before turning to look at the pilot. I quickly rushed over, peering into the hole to see the pilot.

"Are you the pilot? Hey, hey are you the pilot? The shuttle pilot? Pilot?" Cassian asked.

I then noticed him staring off in the distance. I furrowed my brows. What's wrong? Chirrut seemed to notice as well. "What's wrong with him?"

"Galen Erso." I then said, which seemed to break the pilot's trance.

"You know that name?" Cassian inquired.

The pilot nodded. "I brought the message, I'm the pilot. I'm the pilot. I'm the pilot. I'm Bodhi Rook."

"Okay, good. Now where is Galen Erso?" Cassian questioned.

"Eadu." Bodhi then said.

At that moment we felt the ground shake, causing all the Partisans to flee from the base. Cassian moved towards the door to open it up, when I broke down the door with the Force. Cassian scoffed. "Show off. I could've done it."

"Well you sure took your time, didn't you?" I teased.

"Really? This isn't the time to talk about this." Baze interjected.

"Agreed." Cassian said before turning towards me with a confident smile. "But for the record I could've freed us."

I chuckled. "Yeah, yeah. You keep telling yourself that. Now let's get going."

We rushed out to grab our things as the place continued to shake, and it became more violent. Cassian then picked up his transmitter. "K-2? K-2, where are you?"

"There you are. I'm standing by as you requested. Although there's a problem on the horizon. There is no horizon." K-2SO informed us.

My jaw dropped. What?! What's going on?

"Locate our position. Bring that ship in here now!" Cassian ordered before running towards a hallway.

"Where are you going?" Chirrut then asked him.

"I've got to find Jinx and Jyn. Get the pilot. We need him." Cassian commanded before turning to me. "Storm, come with me. We've got to find them and get out of here as soon as we can."

I nodded and with that we took off to find Jinx and Jyn. And when we found them, my eyes widened. Standing there with Jinx, Jyn, and a man I assumed to be Saw Gerrera, stood my very own father, Tâtsâ.
