Lucia moved around her room, gathering things she would need on her trip with Rey. She threw things into her bag, angrier than ever.
No one. And she means NO ONE, had the decency to come up to her and tell her that they were sorry for doubting her. Or that they were glad she was back. Lucia couldn't stand these people and doesn't know why she is fighting for them.
And Han, oh Han. Next, to Luke, he was the father she had lost. Now, she had lost all three of her father figures. Even if she is going to go smack the shit out of Luke with Rey, but god knows how long it was going to take to find him.
Lucia paused before sitting down on her bed, her hands in her hands. She was exhausted, mentally and physically. Until the war is over, she doesn't think that she'll ever get the rest that she needs.
"Lucia? May I come in?"
"Sure."
She allowed Leia to come into her room, only to sit next to her on the bed. Leia was fiddling with something in her hands. "This, Han found this when he rescued you. I've never watched it, so I don't know what it is. I know that it was your fathers. But I figured that it was time to give it to you," she informed her handing her the black box.
Lucia took the box, remembering it in her old house. It sitting on the shelf and her younger self always trying to see what was inside. "Thank you, Leia. It means a lot to me," she told the woman, her voice thick with emotion. It was the most Leia had seen in a while. Lucia's emotions have been all over the place, hence why she decided to irrationally go to the dark side.
"Give Luke a kick in the ass for me."
She laughed as Leia left her alone with the box. The girl sighed before pressing the button to turn it on, the hologram revealing her father.
"Hello, Lucia."
She had to pause it. Just listing to her father's voice brought tears to her eyes. She missed him so much. Sucking in a deep breath, she played it again.
"If you are watching this, it means one thing. I am dead. I have no clue how you'll get this, but I just wanted to tell you a few things. First, I love you so so much. I never wanted to leave you, but I got a target on my back and I am not strong enough to hold them off the both of us. Second, you are stronger than you know. You can maintain a physical force and if you were alive during the reign of Darth Vader, well Obi-Wan said you would have been able to wipe out the entire fleet. I know you can and will do the right thing, Lucia. I believe in you."
At this point, she was full on sobbing. Her mind has been such a mess and she has made stupid decisions. But now she needed to atone for her mistakes.
Shoving the box in her bag, Lucia zipped it up and found herself ready to go. She cleaned up her face a bit before masking it once more. Lucia was back to the girl she used to be. People once again moved out of her way due to the look on her face.
Rey was standing by the Falcon waiting for her. "You ready? Chewbacca is already inside," she informed her as the two of them boarded. Rey was waving goodbye while Lucia ignored everyone. Chewie embraced her into a tight hug, one that almost made her break once more, emotionally and physically. Chewie hugs were no joke.
"Ready to find Luke, Chewie?" Lucia commented as Rey and Chewbacca sat in the pilot and co-pilot seats. He agreed before making her sit down. They hit it into lightspeed. Lucia found herself in what she called the living room of the Falcon. Rey joined her shortly after making sure Chewie was fine.
"About Kylo Ren. Do you think you can take him down?" she questioned taking a seat across from her. She watched Lucia play a holograph game of chess, the girl making a move before answering her.
Lucia looked up from the board where one of her pieces was dying. "I know I can if my emotions wouldn't get in the way. The thing is, I am too angry with him currently. Him killing Han Solo gave me new anger and brought back the old anger I used to have. I'll make a mistake," she informed Rey. "Which is why I want to get to Luke as soon as I can. He'll help."
"How do you know he'll help?" Rey questioned as Lucia lost the game. Lucia mulled over her answer for a bit before looking at the young girl.
She remembered when she was that young. So full of hope and joy, it was funny to look into the mirror and see this. And Rey? She would never understand what she had gone through. Watching the love of her life murder her classmates or him sending his lightsaber straight through her stomach killing the one good thing from her miserable life.
"Luke Skywalker owes it to me. I lost everything because of him, because he couldn't see the warning signs. I lost my friends. I lost the love of my life. I lost my baby," she whispered a tear falling as she placed her hand on her stomach right where the scar would be. "He'll help me because most of this anger? It's because of him. He just left after the pieces of my life fell apart, and now, he has to face every single one of those pieces," she snarled looking at the young girl who was in utter shock.
She heard the rumors, but hearing it from Lucia's mouth was a different story.
Rey left her to mull in her anger to help Chewie navigate. It took the three of them a few days before they landed on the beautiful island.
Lucia instantly felt at home and at peace, even if her anger was still at an all time high. She knew Luke was here. She just did.
Chewie decided to stay back at the ship while the two of them climbed the mountain to the top. The both of them were a bit nervous for two vastly different reasons.
Lucia's breath caught in her throat when she saw her old master standing there. He slowly turned around and locked gazes with her, ignoring Rey who had his lightsaber stretched out.
He grabbed it and threw it right over his shoulder before walking away and Lucia couldn't help herself.
She grabbed him by the shoulder and punched him straight in the face.
