FREYA GLANCED at Han as he piloted the Falcon with Chewie. The cockpit was dead silence. As Freya stared at Han, the man seemed to feel the stare linger on him.

"What, Frey?" Han asks.

Freya kept her gaze on Han, "You know as much as going to Jabba right now and turning in those credits would do for all of us right now," She says, "Wouldn't it feel better to do one good thing that didn't come with a catch?"

Han turns his gaze to her, "You wanted to run on that suicide mission? What are you crazy?" He asks.

Freya looks from Han to the stars in the front window, "No. I'm not crazy, but I know we'll regret not helping them." She says, "The Empire takes and takes,"

Han frowns.

"Wouldn't it be nice to feel like we took something from them?" She asks, "Help turn the tides in this war?"

Chewie barks out a response.

Han glanced at the Wookiee, "Oh you're siding with her now?" He asks.

Freya looks back at Han, "I know we can win this fight. I feel it."

Han kept the scowl on his face, "And how exactly do you know, Frey? You keep ranting on and on about your special ability ever since Chewie and I brought you aboard."

Freya grew irritated and rose from her seat.

Han turns in his seat, allowing Chewbacca to fully take the reign in piloting.

"It's because- It's because we're the same." Freya says.

Han raises his eyebrows, "What? We're the same?" He asks.

Freya placed a hand over her face, "No- No. Not you and me, stupid." She lowers her hand from her face, "Luke and I."

Han gives a confused look and then the clarity appeared at its fullest. Han quickly stood from his seat and looks at Freya.

"You mean- all this time and you never said?" Han asks.

Freya looks at Han seriously, "All this time I didn't know what to make of it." She says, "I just thought it was normal- I don't know."

"How did you know you were-," Han says.

"Ben," Freya says, "The old man. He knew and I just- I just knew after."

Han rubs his jawline and turns away, thinking over the realization that he had just learned from Freya. He sinks into his seat and glanced over at Chewbacca.

Chewie barks at Han.

"Is there anything else you're keeping from us?" Han asks.

Freya shakes her head, "That's all. I swear." She says.

Han turns his seat to the consoles and stares at them. He touches the joystick to stir the ship, glancing at Chewbacca before turning the ship around.
