The Force's Secret - A Reylo Fan Fiction

Family Time

Author's Note: Double update! If you haven't read 'Don't Blame Me', please go back and do so first. This one is a little short, but the previous chapter makes up for it. Only two chapters left!

*artwork used does not belong to me*
*additionally, the artwork used is of Leia and Ben but I still wanted to use it anyways since it reminded me of Rey and Lou*

"Please..."

Rey stared up at Ben. He looked so broken and sad, like he had in the throne room after they had killed Snoke. Right after he asked her to join him. She had considered taking his hand then, knowing she was destined to have a connection with this man.

But this man was also highly dangerous. He lied. He plotted. He killed.

However, this man had been lied to himself. He had been mistreated by Snoke, forced to kill his own father. She knew there was good in him. She could feel it deep within his shattered soul.

She peeked up at his eyes again and she felt weak. Not only were they the same eyes as Leias, but they were the same eyes as her son. After all, he was her sons father....

"Fine...." She mumbled.

"You can't be serious." Poe said on the other side of the cell.

Ben tried to contain a smile, his lip twitching ever so slightly.

"Poe..." Rey said, giving Poe a look. "Will you go get him?"

Poe opened his mouth to say something but Ben interrupted.

"No." Ben said. Rey turned sharply to Ben.

"No?" She asked him. Ben shook his head.

"Not here...." Ben said quietly. "Not like this...."

Rey frowned at his request.

"You're still a criminal even if he doesn't see you behind bars." Poe said to Ben in a taunting voice. Ben glared at Poe.

Rey sighed and stuck her hand through the bars at Poe. Poe looked at her as if she was insane.

"Give me the key Poe." She said. After they stared at each other for a minute, Poe eventually grumbled and pulled the metallic card from his pocket and handed it to Rey.

"I hope you know what you're doing." Poe said to her.

"He won't try anything." Rey replied. She turned to Ben. "Will you?"

Ben gave the briefest nod and held out his wrists. Without touching him, Rey unlocked the cuffs and they fell to the ground. She swiftly picked them up. As Ben rubbed at his freed wrists, Rey passed Poe the card and he unlocked the cell door.

"So you're aware, I have my blaster on me and I will use it if I have to." Poe said to Ben as he followed Rey out of the cell.

"That won't be necessary." Ben said blankly to Poe.

Poe made a mocking face behind Ben's face.

"That won't be necessary." Poe mimicked.

Poe kept his hand on his blaster at all times on the walk from the cells. Several people gave them odd looks as they walked down the halls. After they passed, the people would whisper amongst themselves, curious as to what their prisoner was doing out of his cell.
