Dyad: The force of a new beginning.

The base

"Rey, we need you and Ben" when he says Ben's name Finn can't help but look a little annoyed but Rey doesn't comment on it.

"Oh okay" Rey was fixing her new lightsaber when Finn found her and she wasn't sure where Ben was... but she knew how to find him.

With a little side smile she breath in deeply and closed her eyes, concentrating on their bond.

"They're looking for us" Ben said standing from the ground and then looking at her.

The force that united them growed stronger and they were bether at controlling it.

Finn left because he really didn't want to hear or see anymore.

"Yes. Are you training?" she noticed bids of sweat glistening on his skin.

"Trying to" he shrugged.

It was so odd... to see him like that. Since Ben had given up the dark side he was more relaxed, more free, he had more spirit and he actually seemed younger. Rey still marveled at every smile she managed to get out of him and at the same time wondered how he could kept this personality hidden for such a long time.

He brushed his hair back with one hand and smiled like he knew a secret, the sight making Rey blush.

"Just come, quick." She waved at him and the bond dissapeared, in front of her were the parts of her lightsaber again and not the tall guy she was getting to know and care for more with each passing day.

Ben was also fabricating a new lightsaber for himself, but she hadn't had the chance to see it yet. They've both agreed to go to Tatooine and bury Luke and Leia's lightsabers.

When she went outside there was already a circle of people gathered around a map.

"Hey" Kaydel greeted her and joined her in the circle.

"Hi"

"Are you feeling better today?"

"Yes thank you. I think I have my full strenght back" she smiled.

"I'm glad. And what about Ben? How's he feeling?"

"I think he's okay too"

Rey and Lieutenant Conix or Kaydel as she now adressed her, hadn't talk much before this, only when she stayed behind to train with Leia was she first introduced to her and since she came back from fighting Palpatine she had been very kind with Rey.

She was going to ask something to Kaydel when Ben arrived.

People got out of his way, still scared about him and his presence and Rey could feel the tinge of sadness this brought him, but he was good at hiding it.

"Rey told me you were looking for me"

"Yes... K-Ben" they didn't know what to call him either. Rey sighed, there was still a lot of work to do.

"I'm listening" he gently said and waited for someone to explain to him what the matter was.

"Mmm so, in this map, as you can see. Rey, you may also want to take a look at this" Poe called for her to come closer.

"This and this region claim that they can't..." The resistance, now the people trying to help the galaxy restore and find peace, were all gathered together as they discussed their next moves, they were more calm than before and bubbling with ideas on how to help.

Some of the pilots and the crew had already gone to other planets, either to rest or start helping, and the ones here... this few people were part of a group that may never break bonds or be too far apart.
