I sit in the medical bay beside my mom. She looks...dead. My mom is always up and doing something. Without that spark in her, she looks old and tired.
I shiver slightly.
Someone knocks on the wall, and I turn. It's Dameron.
"You cold?" He asks, already sliding off his leather jacket. Instead of telling him I'm not, I nod my head.
Poe wraps the jacket around my shoulders, and sits down next to me. He snakes an arm around me, and rubs my shoulder. I lean into him, my head on his collarbone.
"Are you alright?" Poe asks. "You've been here an awful lot lately."
"I-I don't know. My mom and I don't have a good relationship, but that doesn't mean I don't love her." In the back of my mind, I see the image of my mother lying dead outside the burning Resistance base. I shiver again, and Poe pulls me in for a hug, resting his head on top of mine.
I snuggle closer into him, and try to fight back tears.
"First Ben. Then my father-" I nearly break down at the mention of Han. "And now mom. I've lost everyone Poe."
"That's not true." Poe says. "You have Lula, Finn, BB-8, BB-12. You have me."
I let out a watery laugh.
"I don't think you count as family Dameron."
"You sure?" He playfully asks.
At that exact moment, someone comes bursting through the door. Poe and I both jump up.
I first catch sight of Finn and I smile. Then I notice the short girl standing next to him. I cock my head. I don't think I've ever seen her before.
"Poe. Wren. We know how to save the fleet." Finn says breathlessly.
My eyes widen.
"How?" I ask.
Finn launches into an explanation and the girl (she introduced herself as Rose) interjects every few moments. Poe walks over and leans against a table. He rubs his eyes.
"Just give it to me one more time, but simpler." He says with a sigh.
"So the First Order's only tracking us from one Destroyer, the main one."
"So we make blow that one up?" Poe asks. I lightly smack his arm.
"I like where you're heading, but no. They'd only start tracking us from another Destroyer." Finn explains.
Rose speaks up. "But if we can-"
Finn interrupts her. Rose sighs and I offer her a sad smile. "If we sneak on board the lead Destroyer and disable the tracker without them realizing, then we can-"
"They won't realize if it's for one system cycle." Rose finally says. She's raised her voice so that everybody looks at her. She gulps. "About six minutes."
