I am trying to update more often, but I am just not feeling very inspired. So please comment and like, because it always motivates me to write more often and to put more effort in. Also, ideas are welcome!

As promised, credit to ZinniaGarben for the names for the children. I have recently become obsessed with Marvel and got this idea from watching Age of Ultron. This is set after The Last Jedi.

The battle was going horribly. We had already lost so many resistance soldiers, and there were burning ships everywhere. We had only predicted about 500 men from the Order, but soon found it was almost triple that. Looking around, I realised we were outnumbered, outmanoeuvred, and out of hope.

 Pressing a finger to my ear, I shouted into the comms 'We need to retreat and regroup! Fall back!'

I could just make out the looks of understanding on how bad the situation was on Finn and Poe's faces. Then I heard their voices shouting commands.

 'All soldiers on the bigger ships! Rey, Leia, Finn- to that smaller one. Go a squadron at a time.' I watched as what remained of squadron 1 hastily retreated, but was soon drawn back to the battle as I sensed someone near me. 

Turning around just in time to stop a sword from slicing through me, I quickly killed the storm trooper, before moving on to the next one.

After the death of Snoke, the Order had been broken up. So now our main priority was dismantling each base, one at a time. Some had taken us by surprise, but we have never had to retreat before.

'Rey! Come on!' Leia yells in my ear. Killing a final soldier, I run towards the ship, killing anyone who tries to stop me. As soon as I am on, the ramp closes, and we are off. I sit down on the nearest seat, and put my head in my hands. We lost too many today. How many losses will it take before the Order is gone?

I feel a gentle hand on my shoulder, and look up to see Poe sitting next to me. 

'Where do we go?' he asks, looking defeated.


'We need somewhere to regroup, and rest. The fighters have gone to a nearby planet that is completely peaceful, but we are too well known. You never know who is a spy. We need somewhere safe.' Leia says, standing up.

I take a deep breath, calming myself. I know somewhere safe, but it's too big of a risk. Someone else could find out about it. I would never forgive myself if that happened. I look at Leia, and see that she's had the same thought. I shake my head vehemently. 

'Please, Rey.' She says softly. 'You know I would never endanger them, but it's our only chance.'
I keep shaking my head, my anger growing. 

'Rey?' Finn asks. 'What's she talking about? What's wrong?' At that I snap.

'There are... people that are not you guys, that I try and stay alive for. Because I'll be damned if I let something happen to them!' I yell, standing up. Poe and Finn look at me in shock. Leia just looks sad.

I sigh. 'Do you really think it's our only hope?' I ask Leia directly, all anger gone. She nods, not breaking eye contact. 'Fine.' 

I stomp down to the control pad, and type in some coordinates. Pressing the button for light speed, we are there in a matter of moments.

In front of us is a small planet, completely deserted. Or so it seems. Letting the ship hover for a minute, I type in the code for a private communications channel. There's a pause as I wait for it to connect, so I turn around and say sternly 'You cannot tell anyone about this, or I will kill you.'
