"God that was amazing," Pryde said out of breath, buttoning up his uniform. His gray hair was slicked back with sweat which was miraculous considering it only lasted a few minutes.

You ignored what he said and quickly redressed, anxious to get out of this god forsaken room and away from him. The sex was subpar as usual and you did not finish - shocker of course.

"Got to go, I'll see you in a few," was all you responded with as you attempted to leave the room immediately. He caught you just before you could slide out the door.

"You'll get rewarded, you always do," he said slyly, coming up to you and touching the hair that fell around your face.

You mustered out a half smile and finally got the hell out of there.

You held your shoes in your free hand, quickening your pace as you followed all the countless corridors away from his quarters. The boots on the ugly metal ground always echoed and the last thing you needed was anyone seeing where you came from. Sure people had their suspicions about you two, but that doesn't mean you wanted to be caught anytime soon.

Finally far enough way, you stop for a minute to zip your boots back up.

"Hey, you didn't respond to my messages," Anya said approaching you.

"Oh shit. Never mind," she realized, glancing at the disheveled look on your face and final zip of your left boot.

Anya was your best friend onboard and the closest thing to family considering Armitage and your's messed up relationship. Anya also had a horrid childhood leaving her with one of the only stable options available, to join the First Order. To Anya, what their order did was just business and apart of the fucked up universe they lived in. As she said it, she had a place to sleep and food to eat and that's all that mattered to her.

Which in some ways you felt she could relate to, but the Hux's were also apart of this order before you even existed. Family traditions, eh?

Since Anya joined only a few years ago, she was a decently low ranking official, but she was happy with her position since it helped her fly under the radar.

Which she greatly needed since she has a romantic relationship with a stormtrooper...

Needless to say, their relationship was incredibly dangerous. If Phasma ever found out, they'd both be slaughtered in two seconds for him disobeying his life's mission and for Anya assisting him do it. It was a wonder to you how any of the stormtroopers were able to break free from that mindset but KD-1831, or Kade as Anya and you referred to him, was truly different. He was kind and sweet, just forced into a life of murdering people.

But because of their own secret relationship, you were able to confess to Anya about Pryde and she never judged you for it.

"Yep, you know the drill," you responded to her dryly as you start walking to your upcoming meeting.

"Well how did the rest of the day go? Mission went alright?" Anya asked, discreetly trying to hide her worry about Kade slipping up in the field.

"Yes, Kade was fine. It was fucking freezing though so I left early on. Which Armitage just loved," you answered rolling your eyes.

"Come on...don't try to hide that with me! I know you leave because you can't handle seeing them...preform," Anya said stopping, forcing you to stop too.

"Preform? Anya they're killing people, innocent people! And I have to act like it's so perfectly normal?!"

"Stop it. You need to hide this better before people start catching on-"

"Catching on to what huh? That I'm not the perfect First Order minion that everyone thinks I am?" you yelled just a bit too loud.

You take a deep breath and regain your composure.

"Look, I'm doing my best okay," you said more calmly.

"You're doing pretty damn good by the looks of it. You're about to catch up to your brother." Anya returned to her normal gait as you both passed by the TIE fighters bay.

Anya was right. Armitage was pretty high up in ranks and if you got promoted, you would be in the same position as him. If Pryde held up his end of the deal, then you would be promoted relatively soon at that.

"And he's right below the big guy, Mr. I-hate-everything-Ren," Anya said jokingly.

Fucking Kylo Ren.

No one could get a position above him and his conniving, sick twisted ways. And unbelievably that was just what built a perfect leader for their order. Snoke treated him like a little angel, a perfectly behaved puppy dog that was trained just for him.

Except he was an egotistical pig trained in absolute annihilation and murder.

You absolutely hated him.

It was people like him that made you question if this was all worth it. He embodied every single thing you hated about the Order. You just could not fathom that a position like his would bring joy to anyone.

Or the fear he stirred up in people, how that could please him? Luckily you weren't wooed by his antics so easily and were not scared of him in the slightest.

You and Anya arrived at the meeting just in time and grabbed two seats, far away from Armitage and Vaeda Capri - you both shared a mutual hatred for her. Armitage and Pryde were the leaders of today's meeting of course. There was a very large amount of generals and officers additional to captains like us that had to attend, which could only mean it was something of importance.

Pryde walked to the head of the table, straightening his slightly wrinkled uniform. From the looks of it he had sobered up quite a bit.

As he started talking, you zoned out completely. It was the same dulling information as always, updates on their missions and what not.

As Armitage went up to speak, Anya nudged you out of your daze so you could pay attention.

"Now as we all know, the creation of Starkiller Base and it's weapon has been in the works for many years now," Armitage reported. "But with the news that the weapon is nearing completion, this will be our permanent base from now on."

'This arctic planet is where we're going to be based now? Seriously?'

"How deadly will this weapon be?" Vaeda questioned. The information you had received about it's creation had been limited. It was a don't ask don't tell policy here around base.

"Deadly enough to wipe out the New Republic," Armitage responded proudly.

"How long will it take?" Asked another officer. 

"One more year and we can fulfill the Supreme Leader's orders in its entirety," Armitage answered.

"And in other news, Miss Hux has been promoted to general. You now have a place in the- " Armitage stopped, gritting his teeth before finishing his sentence.

"Supreme Council," he finished.

Wow.

You were absolutely shocked and you were certain your face showed it.

You knew you would become general eventually but on the Supreme Council?! Pryde held up to his word, that's for sure. You were now in the council with him, Armitage, Phasma, Kylo and a few others. It was an extremely coveted spot.

Truly for the elite.

You caught other, much more seasoned, generals staring daggers at you, eat up with jealousy that you had another promotion so soon after your last. But Armitage was furious, you could see it all over his face.

You had officially, finally caught up to him.

Ren lurked at a seat in the back, watching everything happening around him but not saying a word. It was unlike him you thought, but you diverted your attention elsewhere.

"Thank you," you responded curtly as Armitage sat down.

As the meeting was adjourned, you had little time to contemplate your new position before you were whisked away by Phasma.
