"We'll continue this little chat later" he winked playfully, whipping off the covers of the med bed.

"What'll you do?" the dark haired woman apprentice was nervous, subconsciously fiddling with his fingers in her eerie presence. One wrong move could cost him his life but he didn't seem to clock this.
"It's only a matter of time before everything is revealed" she chuckled to her self, swinging the cross guard hilt in her hand like it weighed nothing. It put the man on edge, he took a few steps back up against the wall, keeping a distance.
"You can't keep a secret forever" he reached up and itched the back of his head, quivering mindlessly. He was getting cocky, thinking of all the snarky ways he could outsmart the woman in front of her but knowing it would end with his end.
"That's true" she grumbled. He retracted a long breath with anticipated relief, she hadn't sliced him in half...
"Will it be worth it? All this? For one girl?"
She hadn't sliced him in half yet.
"You dare question my morals?" she spun round in one swift, elegantly looming turn, cape swishing round her side as she stormed towards him, slamming her fist on the wall next to his head. He crinkled his whole face together.
"No, no not at all, just-"
"Weighing two sides of the argument" he bit down on his lip when his face was covered by the mug, he strained, pushing his luck further down the line. Edging her to the point where she would snap.
But she had some self control.
"You sound like their General" she seethed, pushing away from the wall and rolling her eyes at the thoughts form her past. Her brief- somewhat 'happy'- months at the resistance base.
"Even after years of serving her you can't call some old woman by her first name?" there it was again, the cockiness.
"It's called respect" she spat in his face.
"You should try it some time." spinning back around, Niobe faced the counter littered with papers, maps and resources.
"We need to pick at her weaknesses" she tutted, mind whirring like battered cogs, ideas brewing in her hatred.
"Uh..." he muttered, confused as ever.
"Family you half-wit" she scoffed at his incompetence.
"It's sickening, their love for each other just-" she mockingly gagged, repressing a sly laugh when she slowly turned back to him, her brow shadowing.
"Almost as if you're jealous" he was really pushing his luck now but Niobe was quick to be defensive, snapping her head away from his gaze, looking down at the desk.
"I have family of sorts" she mumbled, resting her hand on the countertop, curling her fingers together to release the burning sensation in her chest, heavily rising.
"In terms of power, I'm related to the other half of the Dameron family" she looked at him from a side glace, he nervously edged towards her.
"So..." he tried putting two and two together.
"Yes, in technical terms, I'm related to the girl" she finished it for him, almost ashamed at the notion.
"And that means you-"
"Are linked with Skye and Rey"
"After all, me taking Rey's 'midichlorians' meant she would be weaker in fight, she'll be easy to take out if needed" she brushed off the jedi like they were nothing, an easy target.
"And Skye?"
"That's a tough one" she bit the tip of her thumb, embedding the soft outline of her teeth on her light skin. Deep in thought, she shook her head, slowly turning back to the man still uptight in his black suit.
"A mother-daughter bond is stronger than any dyad in the force" Niobe chuckled, hand going to the hilt at her waist, pulling it out and gripping it tightly.
"I have a few ideas" a low hum came from the saber as she switched it on.
"We'll just see how this pans out" she turned with a sleek smirk, the red light emitting from her hand and making half her face glow a dooming scarlet.

ALSO YES THIS IS SHORT AS HELL I KNOW, I NEEDED IT TO BE SEPERATE TO WHATS COMING NEXT SO CONSIDER IT A MINI UPDATE
ALSO YES I AM ALIVE WOOO
if you haven't read those few chapters of my aBanDoNeD book the first bit probably makes NO sense (2023 note. yes it's also drafted and not complete sorry)
but I gotchu and wont force you to read that (if you want its the final few chapters I ever published)
lil summary for my lazy bitches like myself :)
1. Niobe (our antagonist here) volunteered to be a 'test subject' for the labs new creations cos the resistance needed a weapon blah blah blahhh
2. basically, Rey's midichlorians were extracted and planted into Niobe's blood stream (Hence why in AL rey was very weak in fights etc etc
