When Worlds Collide (Marvel/Star Wars)

Chapter 45: Will You Return Home?

Once we reached my chambers, we found Hilna, Gida, Tarom, Kina, and Maya all there. They wore smiles upon seeing me, relieved to see me but confusion soon replaced that relief as they noticed Loki behind me in the form of Odin.

"What's Odin doing here, Master?" Hilna asked in confusion. "Did something happen?"

"No, everything's alright." I assured her. "I came to inform you that I'm returning back to our galaxy."

They all wore stupefied looks at my words. Maya was the first to speak. "I don't understand...I thought you wanted to stay here."

"I did...but something made my change my mind." I confessed before turning to Loki, giving him a nod.

With that Loki with some hesitation turned back to his normal self, surprising everyone. I've got some explaining to do...

"But that's impossible. We saw you die." Hilna protested in disbelief.

"Storm, care to explain?" Kina asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"Look, I know I said no secrets and this is no different. I didn't know about this until just recently." I revealed.

"Which is why you wanted to come here so urgently." Tarom commented.

"You spoke to him through the Force, didn't you?" Gida chimed in.

I nodded. "Yes, and even though you might not like me anymore...or even consider me as your friend after all I've done. But I also wished to know if any of you would wish to come home with us...or to remain here. It's your choice."

Maya, Hilna, Tarom, Gida, and Kina exchanged looks, making me very anxious for their response. Loki noticed this as he slipped a hand in mine, giving it a squeeze. I squeezed back in gratitude. They then turned back towards me. Kina was the first to step forth.

"Storm, I've known you since you first became a padawan. You've always been there for all of us. I'll always consider you a best friend and as a sister, Storm." Kina confessed. "I'd like to see the New Republic and the Jedi."

Gida then took a step towards me. "Storm, I've known you since you first entered the Jedi Council. You've been a true best friend to me, you're kind, brave, and fearless. Not to mention that you along with the clone troopers found my younger sister, Numa when Ryloth was under Separatist control. And I wouldn't mind returning to our galaxy, especially to see my sister."

Tarom was next. "Storm, not only are you one of my best friends, but you're my sister as well. You always look after us, thinking of others before yourself...even if that means sacrificing yourself. You may have had your secrets, but then again doesn't everyone have them? The important thing was that you confided in us to finally tell us instead of taking it to your death bed. I'll return as well, I'd like to go back home." 

Then it was Hilna. "Master, I haven't known you as much as Master Ha, Gida, Tarom, or your sister, Master Ca'ana, however I have heard of the magnificent legends of you. You put yourself down harder than you need to, Master. You needn't be so tough on yourself."

Hilna then bowed before me. "It's an honor to be your padawan, Master. And if I may be honest here then I must say I view you like the mother I've always wanted. Both my sister, Zira, and I will always be grateful to what you've for us."

Tears filled my eyes at her words. "Oh Hilna, you and Zira have become part of my family as well."

And finally it was Maya. "Storm, you're my twin sister. We've done nearly everything together.    You've always been a prodigy in anything you sent your mind to whether it be mechanics, flying, or being a Jedi, you could do it all. Even if you were told that the odds, you would always find a way to prove them wrong."
