"Go over it again, so we all understand."
General Dameron asked Ben. All the key members of the Resistance were gathered in the communications room. Ben, Amar, and Vicrul would be initiating the first step to their plan in a day and Poe knew he needed to be clear on what the plan was, so in case things got hairy, he could help.
Ben stood up from the bench that he sat at with his wife, Amar.
"Amar, Vicrul, and I will holo message from Tatooine to the First Order claiming the Supreme Leader is alive, along with Commander Bridger and a fellow Knight of Ren. We will claim that we were taken custody by the Resistance and released." Ben looked around the crowd of forcer users and Resistance members.
Poe seemed to be following along smoothly, but some people had the looks of uncertainty among them.
"How is that going to be believable?" Rose stood up to ask Ben as she put her hands on her hips.
Amar got up to join Ben in the discussion.
"It won't be, it will not be that easy. We will say the Resistance released us on hopes of opening up the idea of joining our forces together to fight the main threat, the Sith. Together, the First Order and the Resistance will build a new galaxy together, without any lingering Sith to lead it."
Chatter started again among the room, what Amar had claimed did not ease the members in the slightest, only caused more questions.
"Don't you think having him in charge is a little odd? Considering, he was the Supreme Leader?" Jannah pointed at Ben as she asked her worries to the group.
Ben held up his hands to silence the crowd, he knew that he was obviously not a fan favorite to the Resistance, but he needed to make sure they understood he was only there to help along the way, not lead.
"I am no longer the Supreme Leader, I am only going to be playing a part. I understand your trust is thin, rightfully so. Once we join our factions together, I will step down and let General Dameron and Finn take the lead. My family is needed to further the existence of the Grey Jedi." Ben wrapped his arm around Amar's waist as he claimed what was to be done with himself.
The room did indeed seem to calm, no one said anymore and it quieted down. Dameron tight lipped smiled at Ben, he thought to himself that Solo definitely had the ways about himself that were so much like Leia, it was scary. Dameron missed her so damn much, if only Leia could have been here to see what the Resistance was trying to pull off.
"How are they going to believe you are still Kylo Ren? I feel like you may have lost a little intimidation." Poe asked with a huge grin on his face, knowing he was being an ass. Vicrul snickered to the side of Ben and there was a few laughs that had come from the crowd. Ben frowned in response and Amar could feel it within their force connection. Amar tightened her grip on him and spoke to him through their bond.
Do not listen to them. I know a few ways you could show me your dominance...
Ben's back straightened the second Amar had said it through the bond. Ben could feel his skin warming up and his pants tightening, he had to try and adjust himself without anyone noticing. Amar looked up at Ben with a mischievous smirk and stepped in front of his body to cover up his mishap growing in his pants. Ben no longer could muster up a response to General Dameron as his mind was being claimed by the visions Amar was pushing into his mind. Amar could feel his hardening member poking into her lower back and she pressed herself against his body further. Ben let out an uncontrollable grunt and a few people shot their heads to their direction and Amar froze.
"What are you trying to do to me?" Ben growled in Amar's ear and placed his hands on her hips, his fingers dug into her pelvic bone, from the sensation of her body against his own. Amar continued her slow friction up against her husband. Ben couldn't control the small moans coming from his mouth.
The meeting was still going on as General Dameron went over what would be happening back at the base, while the three of them were infiltrating the First Order to lead them in a joint effort. The Resistance would be picking up any clues to where the Sith were convening and how Master Ahsoka would be training fellow younglings in the way of the Grey and growing the school on Ahch-to.
Ben and Amar were further preoccupied but Ben could sense a part in the plan where they would be needing to pay attention. Ben shot Amar a look, she could see that he was sternly pleading with her, Amar ceased the images in their bond and her movement. Dameron looked over to the pair.
"We need to be able to recover the last Star Destroyer, that has the new tech of the Final Order. We can't have a plant killing weapon out there, waiting to be used at the Sith's disposal. Will you be able to accomplish that?" Poe's face became the most serious he had held it since the meeting started, this was crucial to rebuilding of the galaxy.
Ben knew he needed to be serious and subside his physical turmoil going on during the meeting. Ben nodded his head to Poe.
"We will do everything in our power. We will come together once and for all and work together to make the galaxy safe, I believe that." Ben looked around at all the wide eyed Resistance members, they were compelled by Ben, who was once the dooming Supreme Leader and enemy. Ben stood tall and confident in what he was stating to the fellow rebellion. In his heart, he knew this was what was the best for the galaxy, the Sith had caused nothing but pain in his family's life, he understood that now. He would never let the dark side consume him like it had, again. His Mother's legacy needed to continue and Ben was going to make sure he saw that through. The Skywalker/Solo family would no longer have a heartbreaking story, Ben would be sure to see that his families legacy was just that, courageous and unbending.
Amar could feel the confidence behind Ben's declaration in front of what was once his enemy. Amar had never felt more proud of him and how he had overcome his lack of trust he had from those certain members, but that didn't matter. Ben knew he needed to prove to them that he would see to it that things would change and become what General Leia wanted it to become.
Cheers and claps were had from the Resistance, Ben and Amar looked at the room as everyone rose in agreement of overcoming the Sith head on. General Dameron walked over to Ben and Amar and patted Ben on the back, showing his first real comradely emotion towards the former enemy. Amar could feel her heart swell, her husband was starting to become, who he always should have become, a leader, to follow and believe in. Even if Ben didn't stay in the Resistance to further his Mother's legacy, Ben would lead the Grey on the correct pathway to balance, Amar could feel it. All Amar could do was beam at her love and to feel like Ben would always impress her no matter what. Ben was not a disappointment to his family's legacy, he would improve their name in the galaxy. Amar could feel the force of her Father and Luke Skywalker around them. Their aura's swelled with honor about who Amar and Ben had become and where they were destined to be.
The meeting ended on a positive note, especially since this was the part that everyone was holding their breath on. Convincing the First Order that the best course of action would be to join the Resistance in a fight against the Sith, that would be no easy task. Even the late Kylo Ren was unsure on how he would talk it over with all the Admirals and Generals of the Order. Kylo Ren was feared by those officials, not respected. Fear was the only way Ben knew Kylo Ren would have used to get what he wanted, would he have to resort back to those ways?
