THE LOST JEDI///STAR WARS AU

1.0 FATHER AND DAUGHTER

Shock flooded through Amara as she looked up at her father. He was much older then the last time she had seen him. His skin had wrinkled and his hair greyed but his eye's were still the same one's she seen when looking into a mirror. He held a blaster at them

"Where are the others? Where's the pilot?" Her heart raced at the realization, he didn't recognize her. Though he hadn't changed much she did. Her once child like feature's disappeared shaping her into a grown woman. One her father had yet to meet

"She's the pilot" Rey said pointing at the brunette behind her. Amara made eye contact with her father and she watched as his face changed from one of interrogation and anger to one of confusion and surprise

"Amara?" He whispered causing all attention to focus on her. Tears brimmed her eyes for what felt like the millionth time today. She ripped the gas mask from her face

"Dad" She cried out as he helped her. Once on her feet she hugged the man tightly taking in the warmth of his body, a warmth she craved for so long. She let herself relax in the comfort of her father's embrace one she always loved.

"I missed you so much" Tear fell from the girl's eye's soaking the older man's shirt as she cried. Han placed his hand on the back of her head holding her tighter not wanting to lose her again. Chewbacca helped the others from the grate. Amara pulled away from her father running into the furry arms of the Wookie

"Where'd you get this ship?" Han asked

"Niima outpost" Rey answered. Amara pulled from the wookie smiling up at him as he patted her head

"Jakku? That junkyard?" Han questioned causing Amara to laugh

"Thank you! Junkyard" Finn said to Rey who ignored him

"Told you we should have double-checked the Western Reaches" Han said turning his attention toward the Wookie who growled back

"Who had it? Ducain?" Han questioned

"We stole it. From Unkar Plutt. He stole it from the Irving boys, who stole it from Ducain" Rey answered

"Who stole it from me! Well, you tell him that Han Solo just stole back the Millennium Falcon for good" A large smile found it's way to Amara's face knowing her father finally had his most prized possession back.

"This is the Millennium Falcon? You're Han Solo?" Rey questioned as she followed Han

"Your dad is Han Solo?" Rey questioned turning her attention toward Amara. Amara just shrugged at her 

"I used to be" Han answered Rey as he walked off into the cock-pit

"Wait Han Solo, the Rebellion General?" Finn questioned. Rey turned her attention toward him

"No, the smuggler"

"Same person" Amara said as she followed her father

"This is the ship that made the Kessel run in fourteen parasecs?" Amara laughed

"Twelve" Her and her father answered as they entered the cock-pit. She watched as her father admired the cock-pit. He turned his attention toward her tears brimming his eyes

"I thought you were dead" Amara sighed

"You wouldn't have thought that if you were there when I got back" Han turned back around defeated knowing she was right

"Hey!" Han called heading back into the main area Amara following

"Some moof-milker put a compressor on the ignition line"

"Probably Unkar Plutt" Rey nodded at Amara

"I thought it was a mistake too. Puts too much stress on the hyperdrive" Rey said just as Han did. He shot a look at the girl before looking over at the Wookie

"Chewie, throw them in a pod. We'll drop them at the nearest inhabited planet"

"Wait dad, no. They have helped me get this far, it's our turn to help them"

"Yes, this droid has to get to the resistance base as soon as possible" Rey added as they followed Han around the ship.

"He's carrying a map to Luke Skywalker" Finn said when Han didn't answer. Han stopped abruptly

"You are the Han Solo that fought with the rebellion"  Finn said. Han slowly turned toward them his eye's locking with Amara's

"You knew him" Finn added.

"Yeah. I knew him. We both did" Han answered keeping his eye's on his daughter. Before anyone could react a dull thud echoed around the ship catching everyone's attention.

"Don't tell me a Rathtar's gotten loose" Amara's eye's widened

"A what?" She questioned but Han ignored her as they walked off the ship onto another

"You're not hauling Rathtar's on this freighter, are you?" Finn questioned from behind them

"I'm hauling Rathtar's" Han answered as he stopped to look at a screen that showed different section's of the ship. Amara watched over her father's shoulder as a group of men appeared she immediately recognized them

"Oh, great. It's the Guavian Death gang. Must have tracked us from Nantoon" Amara shot her father a look

"You're still doing business with them? Even after everything they took from you?" Han sighed

"Now's not the time, you can tell me how stupid I am later" Amara rolled her eye's as she followed her father through the freighter

"What's a Rathtar?" Rey asked

"Their big and dangerous" Amara answered

"You ever heard of the Trillia Massacre?" Finn asked. Amara shivered remembering learning about the Massacre

"No" Rey answered

"Good" Finn and Amara said at the same time

"I've got three of them going to King Prana"

"Three? Dad are you insane?" Amara questioned

"Three? How'd you get them on board?" Finn asked at the same time

"I used to have a bigger crew" Amara took a deep breath having forgot how reckless he was. Chewie opened a hatch in the ground

"Get below and stay there until I say so" Han said.

"And don't even think about taking the Falcon" He added directing his attention toward his daughter. She just smiled in return

"What about bee bee eight?" Rey asked

"He stay's with me until I get rid of the gang then you can have him back and be on your way" Han answered

"What about the Rathtars? Where are you keeping them?" Finn questioned just before Han could answer something hit the wall behind them causing them all to jump in fear as they watched the Rathtars eye

"There's one" Han said pointing at it

"That's disgusting" Amara said as she watched the eye squirm around against the small window

"What are you going to do?" Amara asked finally taking her eyes off the Rathtar

"Same thing I always do. Talk my way out of it" Han said causing his daughter to laugh. Chewie growled out a response causing her to laugh more

"Yes I do. Every time." Han shot back. Amara watched as her friends disappeared below

"Amara, go" Han said looking at his daughter

"Dad I don't want to leave you" Han grabbed his daughters arm

"Go, I'll be alright" Amara reluctantly climbed below. She watched as Chewie shut the hatch her father and Chewbacca disappearing from her vision. She couldn't help but feel scared that would be the last time she would see them.
